FPS multiplayer games?

colbert · 2009-07-11 21:21:34

I am just looking for a suggestion of a game I can play multiplayer online that will run either native or via Wine, etc... I have played Quake for years, tried Warsow, enjoyed ET for a bit but it has the worst hitbox/aiming thing going on (seems to reward terrible aim, or shooting away from the players). I am wondering what you guys play online?

My suggestion is World of Padman or UT2004 if you manage to buy it somewhere, it runs fine on Arch

urban terror

cube (simple but fast paced and fun) and variants (sauerbraten, assault cube)

Nexuiz (Quake-like game, opensource) or True Combat: Elite. (very realistic modern warfare). TC:E is ET mod, but project is a bit oudated and not developed anymore, servers are still running and players exists, though. However, some people are trying to remake TC:E-like game, such as Code 43: Urban Warfare.

Urban Terror is also superior.

Thanks a lot, I just installed Urban Terror and ran through a couple maps to get a feel, it's great. However when I go to get a list of servers, and hit Get New List, I don't get anything. In console it's just giving me: "Requesting servers from the master..."

I find that sometimes fetching the server list just sometimes "decides" not to work at times in ioquake3-based games. Try exiting/restarting(of course, also make sure you have "Source" set to Internet, too...just saying).

There's also OpenArena and the [not-as-alive-as-I'd-like] Tremulous.

Hmm, well it's not working at all unfortunately, I've tried several times and yep got it looking from the net. I just use XQF instead, no biggie. Nice game!

+1 for Urban Terror. Been getting into Quake Wars lately. Good game. I know you're probably looking for free games but I was able to pick it up at newegg for $7 so almost free .

Naw, I'll pay if it's gonna be enjoyable. I actually did buy Quake Wars a long time ago and just searched for the CD now that I read your post, found it and just reinstalled, I had forgotten about it completely lol. Fun game! Thx

Quake Live should be available for Linux soon. I'm waiting eagerly for that
