I think you should try to stay with games that people can LAN and there will be a large amount of gamers:
Good:
TF2
Flatout2
Cod4
Ut04 - Should try some onslaught games next time
Crysis Wars - Although not enough people seemed interested, or maybe there was a tourney going on at the time?
Too much CSS (always too much at every LAN)
Bad:
DOTA?
BFBC2?
CODMW2?
Could Add:
Serious Sam?
L4D - enough players?
Battlefield 1942/DC/2?
Fear?
Trackmania
GRID
Try a diff RTS? RON?

This is exactly why we really, really were hesitant about doing MW2/BC2 tournaments. Most the games played at the LAN, except TF2 which is $20 and discounted all the time, even to $2.49 at one point, are available. Plus I know both Wes and I have at least one extra steam account with a copy on it each. And I think ultimately we try to look tournaments the same way, which is why we felt UT2004 was a good option for FPS.Just a thought but for tournies and even big planed games we might want to try to stick to games that people don't have to go out and buy. Of course people are going to buy new games but i feel we could have bigger games if people were able to get it off the server. If anyone thinks of an older-ish game I can try to work my magic and "acquire" a copy of it. but I doubt I will be at th enext LanOC cause I will be working in tennesse over the summer. Also I don't know if anyone out ide of Star, Harple, and I have played it but Command and conquer renegade is a pretty fun fps that is old enough to easily get for free and can lan with only one file of it.

I agree to an extent, its undeniable that we have a great time with a full server of TF2. But I'm a huge RTS fan, which are typically limited to a smaller amount. I don't want to see them go away.
RON = Rise of Nations? Whats the player cap in it?
I'm also a big fan of L4D, but it has even more restricting player limits than some RTS even at it's max.

I think RON's a 8-player one too. The only RTS I can think of that supports more is Annon1404:Venice which supports 16. But a game of that couldn't be played in a day, I don't think. Haven't played that with any more than 3 people.
L4D is pretty much the same scenario in terms of player limits, multiple servers could support more, but again the question of # of people having the game would be an issue.

Bad combination of a shaky network, bad host, and kaids.We have tried AoM before, but it crashed when we had everyone going.

At the last lan there were 20+ people playing MW2 I don't see why we couldn't get a little competition going.. I didn't experience any lag... not sure about anyone else though..

Good to hear from you buddy!What about tribes next? it's free to download and i'm pretty sure it can hold a large amount of players. (plus my laptop will actually run that well, unlike Shattered Horizons >_> )
Also, to the preson who said there is an eight-player limit to TM: no. More like 30+.
We played it at the 5.5 lan but there were only like six of us.
