LAN or dedicated server game for lunch break

[Lar1121]

so i am on the hunt for a game 10-16 people can play here at work everyday at lunch. right now we paly COD 4, which is great but has gotten old and we all need something new. we have people that go out for lunch, smoke etc. so not everyone jumps in at the same time, so we are not about to jump in and out of games to pick people up and would rather just play with our people

-needs LAN or dedicated servers
-Fps- prefered
-easy enough to pick up for the old timers
-inexpensive- below $30

any ideas would be great, gonna try BF2 tomorow, but i think maps may be too big

Could always do Counter Strike: Source.

BF2 coop (with bots) are limited to 16 player maps with up to (I think) 32 players total. They have a dedicated server program which is really easy to use.

If you have internet that can be used at all TF2 is free to download and play on Steam. Another game could be Halo or Halo 2 as they both support LAN and up to 16 players.
UT2004 or UT3 are also 2 other LAN options.

Counter Strike Source or 1.6 would be lots of fun during a break.

Counter-Strike. Definitely one of the more fun games I've played with a large-ish group of people

CS:S or CS:GO for me.

Minecraft, too. although you'd have to host your own server most likely. (unless you want to play on my server. I've never tested it with more than 10 or so people on, but it's worth a try)
