Hello, I’m interested into some good casula shooter’s that work on linux. My only requirement is that they shouldn’t EVER have to use an external launcher like ea ( have bf3 on steam and the ea launcher just doesn’t wanna work ).
I played games like splitgate, halo infinite and battlebit remastered
Was just playing Gunslinger:Juarez , it is well produced, runs perfectly and is pretty fun.
Roboquest
Mullet Madjack.
Half Life 2.
Tf2 is the vwst war themed hat simulator out there
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds is really fun and silly. Doom Eternal is also cool.
What issue are you having with Battlefield 3/EA? I just installed it last week I think I did it via Lutris
Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.
I can recommend Selaco. It’s built on GZDoom and one of the best shooters I’ve played in the last years.
Ion fury and Hedon are solid too, build engine and gzdoom respectively. Selaco though, sometimes it’s almost hard to believe it’s running on the doom engine.
Agreed, the technical side is super impressive. The 2D character sprites are basically the only constant reminder how old this engine really is.
Xonotic, an open-source arena shooter
+1 for Xonotic. It scratches the Quake 3: Arena itch extremely well.
I remember playing that when it was Nexuiz (the first time). I may have to crank it up again now that I’ve been reminded of it.
Alien Arena, Urban Terror, Xonotic
Halo Infinite… still works on Linux.
Battlebit Remastered is pretty fun but I have limited experience in that one.
Battlebit is great for a couple of rounds of brainless fun every other night. I’m not yet on linux myself, but it seems to work well via proton according to google, and it doesn’t use an external launcher.
Dusk, definitively try that
Team Fortress 2
i was about to shit my pants that this wasn’t mentioned. i love this game. and we’re currently botless.
Is it actually easy to find a game without bots and hackers, or is it only on certain community servers?
So for now - fixtf2 worked! There are near zero bots and bot hosters and creators got steam banned. Last scream fortress 2023 was unplayable… this year I almost cried as I was playing through my contracts with no issues.
In 2024 few casual matches have bots longer than a few seconds, and they’re rare.
Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and stone, miner!
Seriously one of the best coop shooters out there. So much character, and by now there are quite a few different mission types making replayability much better than when it first came out. The constant updates are also nothing to scoff at, especially considering the games price.
