Has anyone got any recommendations for a multiplayer online game suitable for a small number of people (3-6)?

A group of mates have, over the years, played starcraft, age of empires, quake and half-life and now we're looking for something new.

Thanks,

Mark

Something like Rainbow six. Can do 'terrorist hunts' with 3-6 of you on co-op. Pretty cool.

Mmmm. But VCTF is more of a bloodbath.

Assults are good with 4-5 a side. 3 might be too few.

Depends what you want. I've been enjoying Warhammer 40000 - Dawn of war as a violent, resource easy (no stupid gathering to be done) RTS. Multiplayer should be a laugh.

Or, buy 6 PSPs and play GTA in the pub.

If we lived close enough together to do that we'd just go to the pub, chew the fat and sack off the video games

Anyone played rome: total war online... how does it work with more than 2 people? Do you have to watch each other fight a battle before you start yours?

Started playing warhammer, 40,000 - dawn of war. Very good, lots of fighting, not too much resource gathering, only needs one hand to play so can smoke and drink at the same time, clear winner after at most an hour and a clear loser that everyone else can take the piss out of.

Just the job.
