Alabama Gamers?

[crane]

OK, so how many of you guys play games on your Ubuntu box? And what games do you play?
If your interested in learning about new game be sure to check out The Ubuntu Gamers Arena (http://gaming.gwos.org/index.php) and the Gaming Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=93)
I personally play Q4, Q3, UT2K4, Doom3, Urban Terror (Q3 Mod) and a few more. I did play WoW for a bit but it's just not for me.
There are a couple others I can't remember right now. The Urban terror Mod for q3 now has a stand alone version based off of ioquake. (the mod also works in ioquake.

Just wanted to know if we had any gamers. If we have enough maybe even set up a frag party one day!

Nexuiz ,true combat elite, enemy territory, sauerbraten, ta spring, a tale in the desert 3, return to castle wolfenstein.... and one other I can't think of right now. Can't wait for this one ...http://www.nosferatuthegame.com/:D

Urban Terror any good?

[crane]

Oh man I really enjoy urban. It's a good cross between real and arcade. I like realistic FPS but sometimes I think the realism takes away from the game play.

I've been wanting to try WoW but can't seem to get it installed.

Crane, you mentioned that you played for a while; was it on Ubuntu?

Anyone had any sucess?

Yep, played it on Edgy in wine. Found a How to on the forums. I'll see if I can find the link when I get home. Time to Leave work now!! WooHoo!!:guitar:

Sounds like a great idea! I hope we will.

I play Battlefield 1942.. thats it.. I guess im just lame.:( :( :(

I just heard cedega 6.0 just came out. Does anyone know if it Is any good? Just wondering because I've allways heard cedega was'nt that good. Would be nice to play gunz or maybe a little bit of eve online.:D

[crane]

I have heard Cedega is actually pretty good. I have not messed with it because the games I have played run under Linux or at least Wine.
There is one review of 6.0 at http://techgage.com/article/cedega_60

Having just stumbled onto this group (I'm in Huntsville, by the way), I figured I'd put in my two cents, er, games.

Lately, I've been playing Neverball and some Cube. I spent awhile back playing Tremulous and have played some Nexuiz. Neverball is addictive and I really like the philosohpy behind Tremulous. It feels like Starcraft meets Quake.

Cedega is really good at least when it comes to wow. I had no idea wow would play so smooth! I'm needing windows less and less everyday. Does anyone know of any other games cedega will play as good as wow?

[azzk]

I understand that WoW works decently under Wine without Cedega. Probably hardware dependent, though.

Personally, I'd rather use CrossOver given that they strongly support Wine and contribute code back to the community, (and I believe WoW works well under CrossOver) while it's my understanding that Cedega simply builds upon a proprietary fork of Wine (back before Wine was GPL it was MIT/BSD licensed) and doesn't contribute code back to the Wine project. Nor can it use current Wine code and improvements, because they require distributing source. As a result, people say that Cedega is "a hack built upon a hack." Don't know what that implies from an end user standpoint.

Anybody tried CrossOver?

I ran WoW in wine, as well as CoD and CoD|UO. I haven't really messed with Cedega to much. Although I would like to run FEAR in it.

[dtruesdale]

I can give you a good run down on Cedega, been using it since the early days. I run WOW, Guild Wars, Dungeon Siege, Dungeon Siege II, Diablo II, Tribes, and Rubies of Eventide on it right now. I every so often (when a new version rolls out) load some games like Freelancer and a few others to see if they work. Now natively I run NeverWinter Nights, Planeshift, Regnum Online, Doom3, UT 2004, and a few others.

[crimsontide]

Does anyone play WOW on a public server?

[crimsontide]

Nvm I'll just pay for it instead. I've heard some allow hacking.:(

[crane]

I ran it fine under Wine on Edgy. But quit playing before moving to Feisty. I don't remember a lot of "hacking" though.

[Digitallysick]

I play sauerbraten some, and Alien Arena 2007. Wow runs great under the new cedega. Runs well in wine to, i just like the cedega interface better. *south alabama*

I was told hacking can be easy on some of the free or private servers out there. Like these ....http://www.wowscape.net/?act=Servers

[crane]

I didn't play very long but I was unaware of any difference in servers. I thought All WoW servers were public.

[michaelramm]

I will be working with CrossOver to get WoW installed and working on a new fresh FF install.

Any help in this arena will be appreciated for this linux n00b (who wants to learn more).

I've never messed with Crossover Office But will be glad to help if I can.
