After playing the Survival Games, I got to thinking about how fun it was to play something with so many other people at once, even with all the issues and arguments we had along the way. I was wondering how interested you all would be in playing multiplayer games on a similar level as the Survival Games, as in with a large group of us all together. Even if interest isn't shown, this thread can still serve as a general hub for discussing and recommending multiplayer games, MMOs and 4-player Co-ops alike.
Here are a few games I'd like to play with some of you.
Toribash - http://www.toribash.com/
Toribash is a two-person, turn-based fighting game, and its website boasts the claim, "Violence Perfected". When you first start, it is quite difficult to grasp the controls, however, a few practice rounds can really help you along. One of the beauties of Toribash is its large selection of easily accessible mods. I've tried a couple mods myself, and I think testing them out on two-player would be very fun.
It would be quite easy to fight a few rounds against someone on the spur of the moment, though if enough people are interested, we could form a loose tournament and see how that goes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-70Bg2zRsg - I don't know why this video isn't working.
Tribes is a class-based, high-speed multiplayer game similar in certain aspects to TF2. Movement in this game is based not on running around structures, but instead on skiing down hills and flying through the air with jetpacks. The XP system isn't the most fun to work around, but the actual matches are enjoyable and gameplay is very fun. Tala and I played a bit of this game together a while back, and I'm thinking it would be very fun to have four or five of us on one server together. Drop me a friend request: BiODRaGO
Right now, those are the only two multiplayer games I can think of that I'd like to try, but please feel free to post about other multiplayer games or gatherings in those games you'd like to organize.

This is fairly interesting. I'll have to admit, Toribash looks pretty amazing. I'll have to download it and see if it is.

Tala, Drago and I just got done with a multiplayer game of Toribash; I don't think anyone has ever laughed so hard at a fighting game. Seriously guys, try this one out — it's completely free (the only things you can actually pay for are cosmetic changes, and you can earn credits in-game) and it would be great to get a game running with more people.
FETAL POSITIONARU!
Also, for anyone who's not yet aware of it I guess I should mention Alien Swarm — a free multiplayer co-op shooter from the makers of Left 4 Dead, played from a top-down perspective.
If anyone's interested drop me an invite any time; I'm usually up for a game and I play a good flamethrower-toting backstabber medic.
EDIT: According to my masterful use of Google I have found that if we want to make a Toribash server private all one need do is create a server, then input the command "/passwd <your password>", hence only people with the password can access it.

Alright guys, I'm hosting a Toribash room under the name "Drago's Room". Hop in multiplayer and find it, use "/pass GAC" to gain access.
EDIT: That was a bit lonely. If a few more people want to play a few matches, post something here or ping me on Steam, and I'll set something up for us.

I downloaded Toribash, its pretty fun. I also might download Alien Swarm, it looks fun.
I can't think of another multiplayer game worth mentioning, my head is swarming with Halo 4. Halo 4 Halo 4 Halo 4

I'm hosting another Toribash Room for a little while, we're using the twinswords mod this time. Drago's Server, /pass GAC as before.
EDIT: You'll need to have the mod "000swords2_fixed" loaded.

Seems like every time I bump a thread, I'm double posting. Odd coincidence.
So there are a couple multiplayer mods I'd like to try out with you guys, both of which have been recently popularized by youtube (specifically Seananners and CaptainSparklez). They're both of a fairly similar genre that I'd really like to see if we all like.
The Hidden - http://www.hidden-source.com/
This game involves a squad of marines hunting down an invisible, super-powered enemy. You go in as a group, and one of you is selected to be the Hidden. If the Hidden kills off the whole squad, he wins. If the squad kills the Hidden, they win. Pretty simple, but the games can get intense and nerve-wracking. Kinda.
Morbus - http://www.moddb.com/mods/morbus
Morbus is similar to The Hidden in some aspects, except there's an alien hiding among the group who is disguised as a human, and has to eliminate the whole squad. It takes equal parts inspiration from Trouble in Terrorist Town and The Hidden. It's Gmod based, so you'll need that to play.
If you're interested in playing either game, hit me up on Steam or reply here. I'm going to try The Hidden first.

Delta and I have been playing Hidden for a while now, and the last round I played it came down to me as the Hidden versus him as the soldier. After a few minutes of driving him batty and almost being killed myself, I finally pigstuck him, securing me my first full win as the Hidden against a set of 8 soldiers. Anyone who has doubts about playing, please relinquish them and join us, it's fantastic fun.

All I had to do, if I remember correctly, was run the installer, restart Steam and look for it in my library.

That's odd. whenever I restart steam and check my library, I never see Hidden there. :/
EDIT: I've also noticed that after using the installer, no files show up whatsoever concerning the Hidden. EDIT 2: Downloaded the actual files, manually installed it. I'm fine now. ^ ^

As Delta said earlier, we really need to get two more people (at least) to be able to start playing full private rounds. Once we do that, I think it would be a lot of fun to record a few rounds and upload the good ones to youtube (something like "GAC Plays..."). Getting us all on Steam chat as well might be interesting, whether we decide to record or not.
Post here if you've downloaded and installed it.

I've installed it as well.
Not sure if I'll get the chance to play it, though.

Looking for volunteers to host a server for The Hidden; Drago's already tried and Tala is having chronic technical difficulties with the game itself.
...What? Don't look at me. Does no-one remember how laggy my MC server was? >:U

Chronic technical difficulties as in I can't do anything game-play wise. Can't access multiplayer, and can't do Tutorials. This game hates me. But maybe I can host a server for you guys using the dedicated server client. Maybe.

Note to anyone intending to play The Hidden: if you see a corpse floating in front of you trying to give you a hug, that's most likley Delta trying to troll you for being the only person left alive.

Welp, I've resorted to using my sibling's account to play Hidden. And yes, I've found so far that when Jad's the Hidden, he hangs people's bodies. In short: "I WILL HANG YOU ON THE CEILING IN NEAT, LITTLE ROWS."
