I'm preparing for The Gathering 2011.. The biggest LAN-party in Norway with 5'000 participates.

- Counter Strike 1.6
- Counter Strike Source
- Battle for Middle Earth II*
- Battle for Middle Earth II: Rise of the Witch King*
- Battle for Middle Earth*
- Starcraft II*

Games marked with * are games I already own so these wont be any problem.
Games marked with ** are games I'll play offline anyway so no worries if those are downloaded and wont work online / over LAN.

The rest of the bunch are games I don't have, or are games I've lost my serial key or DVD for. I'm going to purchase a few games, but as an result of not getting my payment for last month my financial situation is limited to say the least! Therefore I'm wondering which of these games that can be downloaded and played over LAN on a LAN-party? Some games can be downloaded and cracked (or using image with Daemon Tools) and work flawlessly for LAN-parties and others requires internet authentication and therefore have to be bought upfront.

I want to figure which games I need to buy before next week, and which I can simply download and crack.

in the best scenario, its good to have a hard-copy of each game, before you decide to crack your copy.
the following games from your list, each gamer will have to have a legit copy and a online presence required.. (to my recallection)

Starcraft II
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Lord of the Rings Online
Counter Strike Source
Magicka: Vietnam
Team Fortress 2
Call of Duty Black Ops
Modern Warfare 2

the rest im unsure about, and thats something you will have to look into via Google.
