its not going to happen anytime soon..

just get an isp with international over fiber and ur good to go.
 
Not going to happen. Bill Roper is an arrogant SOB and considers lan to be part of the internet stone age.

Would be great but I really don't see him changing his mind, unless he can make money out of offering lan.:D
 
Maybe an interesting tiny mod in development somewhere?

Anyway, the fact that they have not included it is RETARDED. How can lan be oldschool? Have two PC's in your house that can run the game?

We sure have and my brother was actually looking forward to playing it with me until I told him it won't be possible. Anyway, good co-op is pretty much non-existent on PC. Console is the way to go there. Recent games that including these features were just ports AKA SW Original Trilogy and TMNT. Unless skirmish strategy vs AI and 2 player team FPS vs AI are your cup of tea - MEH.
 
Here's a quote from Flagship Studios:

Why does it suck and why is it good?
No LAN doesn't suck at all. I know, I'm supposed to say things like that. It's somewhere in my job description. But when you really think about it... Who the **** cares? LAN was great when we didn't have broadband. It's also awesome if you're willing to lug your stupid computer around all over the place. But HG:L runs on closed servers and we have free online multiplayer that's every bit as robust as Diablo II. So why even bother with LAN?

Most retarded reason ever. At the time I first read it I just thought they were not really that dumb and would wakethef*** up pretty soon. I was wrong. I bought the game and from what I've seen it's... average. These guys are not Blizzard North and never will be. It's a legacy best remembered like Bullfrog for the awesome stuff they did (also). Bill can stop waving his B North flag around because he doesn't deserve it.

Security reasons my arse.
 
yeah i know it sux but can you blame em? no one cares about lan because they all have high speed internet at extremly low prices yes it sux but its more telkoms fault if it wasnt for them we would have had no problem now.

the way i c it is the either get a server here or we just wait for a cracked server but im gonna sign the petition who knows maybe it will help
