The "Nobody plays this but they should" thread.

[Cake Bandit]

So I recently got into playing NeoTokyo lately, and thought about making a thread purely to try to rope some of you folk into giving it a try and hanging out for a bit. Then I realized that there's probably a game or mod that each one of you holds above the others and has complained "Man, this game is great, it just doesn't have enough people for some reason"

Long story short, I'd like to use this thread to keep a tally on who plays what mods or games that could really just use more people. If you could post what mods you play and maybe a description of how the game works or what it's about with a link to a website, I'd be a happy man, and maybe you'll find a like-minded individual out there who'll join in your shenanigans.

Okay, tell us about what you want already.

Personally, I'd like to see a few more friendly faces playing NeoTokyo. It's a source mod that has an emphasis on teamwork and stealth. The learning curve is pretty damn steep, thanks to all the invisible assholes with machineguns, but can be overcome with a small application of patience.

And realize that even though you're invisible, you show up bright orange on my motion-vision while you're prancin' about with your head full of implants.

If you do decide to try it out, a server by the name of IU-NT:Whorehouse has a pretty decent crowd who helped me overcome my initial hurdles. It has a tendency to be pretty full.

DEFCON. It might go on sale over Christmas again (Introversion Pack was $5 over Summer). It's basically a RTS where you defend your country from nuclear strikes while simultaneously conducting them on other nations. Good fun and a lot of strategy. There's even a demo!

Nope. It's played on a real world map, so it's more of managing fleets of ships to attack in the ocean, choosing when to turn your launch silos into AA-turrets and when to use them to launch nukes as well as sending out scouting planes and stuff of that nature. I am bad at describing it.

It's not an FPS. It's a rotational shooter more along the lines of Geometry Wars. To be accurate I'd say it's a top-down 360-degree shooter.
