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

    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.

      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.

    Combat Master. Like CoD but simpler, no waiting, you start the game and end up playing in less than 2 mins, loading included.

    My go-tos on my Arch laptop are Doom and Quake, there’s tons of sourceports, both focused on singleplayer or multi player for both games and their sequels. You just need to buy the games once so you have the main game files to use with the optimized source ports.

        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.

      I played way too much Counter-Strike in college, and I don’t regret a minute of it. Then I discovered the “that’s so unrealistic bro” genre of shooters like Squad, Day-Z, Tarkov, and Arma, I never looked back.

    Would run and gun games count? If so, I strongly recommend the Neo Geo Metal Slug games. They’re all sold emulated on PC (GOG for the no launcher requirement).

    And on a more usual sense of “shooter games”, Saints Row The Third (GOG and Humble Bundle) and UNLOVED (original version is a mod of Doom II afaik). And just a note, Saints Rows The Third, from some tests I did a while back, seems to have a memory leak issue in character customization screens when running under default Wine.
