Cant you guys have some restricted limited internet access for steam or something, just so we can lan it?
just not feasable, we only have a 768k internet connection into the hall which we use if there is a last minute update to a game and updating the main website with current attendee's,
having 300 plus people access steam at once is
a big NO-NO. we tried it before and it just raped the connection, far from desirable, but it's our only option. Even with only 80 people at a LAN, Steam dies on this connection - it literally is unusable. Steam is, and always has been as far as I know, allowed at the LAN. But nothing else.
However, IW.Net will not be allowed for a multitude of reasons, including the lack of bandwidth available (see last paragraph). We are looking in to alternative methods of playing though.
