Back in the days, when the internet’s down at the internet cafe, people would play one of the lightweight multiplayer games that can be run using a local connection (LAN). Unfortunately, this scenario won’t take place in today’s world. Some of these light multiplayer games used to be so popular during their heyday! Without further ado, let’s get into it!

The entire titles of the Counter-Strike series are available on Steam, except for CSGO, which can be downloaded for free.

2. Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 is often considered the best co-op game of all time. The unique gameplay that requires players to work as a team to deal with the hordes of zombies made this Valve’s game so popular to this day. Some titles even tried to copy the massive success of Left 4 Dead 2, which still can’t be beaten.

3. Battlefield 2

Battlefield 2 is the beginning of the popularity of the Battlefield series. Up to this day, many modders are trying to restore the glory of Battlefield 2, such as Project Reality, which led to an official sequel, Squad. Oftentimes, fans are trying to restore the Battlefield 2 server. Unfortunately, this wasn’t approved by EA, and those servers were eventually taken down.

Even though the server has been closed for a long time, this game is still worth playing using LAN.
