[Ferrat]

[artir]

Quake Wars, Unreal Tournament 3, Rage and maybe the Valve games

[Sockerdrickan]

Nexuiz friggin owns

[Ferrat]

Quake Wars, Unreal Tournament 3, Rage and maybe the Valve games

UT knew I forgot something..
Rage won't have a Linux native, up to wine on that one :(

Edit take that back, JC ^^ went back a bit on what he said before since people reacted and there will be a Linux binary.. Weee peer presure rules ^^

[StJimmy]

Maybe I should have been clearer.

Any open source/free games that I should add to the list ;)

But yes, those are great games.

[Sockerdrickan]

doom 3 soon enough

[Shay Stephens]

Star Wars Jedi Outcast runs well under wine. Have not tried it over the network, and it is not Free software.

[Lord Illidan]

But yes, those are great games.

Quake 1, Quake 2, Quake 3 engines are all opensourced.

[amendt]

I like Space Traders (http://www.playspacetrader.com/). it is made by a local guy here in Grande Prairie Alberta Canada. Ok the real game costs $20 but there is a demo.

[Atomsk_72]

Warsow is a good one I just wish it had a single-player mode. A Conker like single-player would be really interesting.

It has one. Just use bots for enemies. The AI isn't so good though.

I know that but thats not what I mean though.

[mikeize]

So how do you use bots? Do you still have to join a server? I'd like to play this game offline against bots (if just for practice :) )

Wow, these games look great!

I'm trying out AssaultCube now, but I would like to know,

Can you hook up a controller to a linux system to play with one of these games? I just prefer to play games with controllers instead of with the keyboard and mouse. Anyone?

[sloggerkhan]

you probably can, but it's a good way to get pwned. Console style controllers really suck compared to a good keyboard/mouse.

right now i'm using SNES controllers with my PC, and as i understand it other controllers are perfectly compatible (you can probably find how to install it through a quick search).

Open Arena has gamepad controls, I got my Xbox control to work pretty good with it but as sloggerkhan said, prepare to die haha ;) bots you can handle but a live player if any good moves to erratically for the analog sticks to keep up since they ain't as accurate as a mouse
