The only reason I boot up Windows at this point is to play shooters with EAC. What do you guys play if you’re looking for a quick 20-minute firefight?
Xonotic is always a good one.
Full agree on Xonotic! Has also a somewhat active online play.
its slowly decreasing so i guess maybe to curb that people should tell others more about that game
Splitgate
Insurgency Sandstorm is pretty good and CS:GO is always a classic go-to.
Battlefield 4 is still good. Plays well under Linux, graphics are good, servers are still packed and it’s quite challenging.
My go-tos are tf2 and tf2 - that is Team Fortress 2 and Titanfall 2. Both work great on Linux and have really dedicated communities. Titanfall 2 even has the Northstar client.
I play a lot of Apex Legends. It works very well on Linux.
hl2 Deathmatch
game is a crazy amount of fun
I used to love making my own HL2DM server complete with Mani Admin and low gravity. Good days for sure.
Shatterline and Caliber
Both free to play, on Steam, and work using Proton.
Why not just CS:GO? But I’m only saying this because I have no real recommendation tbh. For offline I can recommend Ravenfield. It’s really fun even though the native Linux version is kind of broken when using mods which is kinda the point of the game. Works fine using Proton though
Honestly, my only reason not to play CSGO is that I spent all of highschool playing it and just don’t enjoy it anymore.
Older game but red orchestra 2 is a classic ww2 shooter with a decent online community. Matches are around the 20 - 30 minute mark.
I didn’t know it was still active. I have it in my Steam library. Thanks!
Krunker is nice for a quick match. You can play it directly from your browser or download it from steam
CS:GO, Halo MCC, Overwatch 2
though I don’t know if OW2 counts as good anymore, certainly not a fan of the changes, but it still works on Linux
Not sure if you’re fine with a paid game, but Halo: The Master Chief Collection recently got Linux support for multiplayer - though they have the Steam launch options reversed so you have to select EAC disabled at launch, in order for it to be enabled lol (thus allowing you to play online)
Additionally, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode is free, and also works on Linux.
I play halo mcc and infinite and also recently started playing warframe thats more of an mmo shooter
