Gameplay is most likely pending because there are no other players in the game. Multiplayer LAN, or Local Area Network, is used to play with other people on the same network as you, usually other people in your household. What you probably want to do is play Multiplayer Online. Which, on the main menu is accessed via the Multiplayer link. From there, you can either use GameSpy Arcade (external program) or WOL (Westwood Online) which is now ran by XWIS and is the preferable choice. You will then select Advanced Game Listings. You will be prompted to log in to an account. Simply type the username you wish to use online, then the password you wish to use and the account will automatically be created for you. You can now play with other players online.

But Multiplayer Practice only has one map >.>
As for playing over a LAN network, you CAN play with people online over a multiplayer LAN game. You need to download (and the people that you want to play with) a program called Hamachi. When you set it up, Create a network (call it anything you want) and set a password. (note: only one person has to create a network on hamachi) When you do, give the info out to the people you want to play with and have them connect. Now host a game and set the IP Address to the OTHER IP listed there. (should be something like 5.x.x.x). Then just have your friends join the game under LAN.
Thanks,

Hamachi doesn't like routers a lot, though.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Hamachi does NAT traversal so I don't see why it would have issues.

It had at my place anyway. Though I do have 2 routers it needs to get through...
