Title: What Multiplayer Shooters are yall playing?
SeeroftheNight 7 Mar 2026
I finally got Ethernet hooked up on my computer after procrastinating on it for ages, and when thinking of ways to take advantage of it, it got me realizing that I don't really play that many multiplayer shooter games anymore. I was never particularly great at these games but I did spend a lot of time playing Team Fortress 2 and later Overwatch.

Currently, I do play Deep Rock Galactic and Straftat, but both are games that I pretty much only want to play on call with friends since playing with randos can be unfun, so I was wondering what else might be out there for a Linux based gamer to dip into casually and have fun with even if I end up not being very good at it. EDIT: I forgot to mention Helldivers 2 which is another game I only really like to play with friends.

I thought briefly about trying Marathon, but, well, no Linux support. Womp womp.

This is a hard category for me to find games in.
I'd like something that can scratch the CoD/Battlefield itch, but I have so far not been succesful!

Latest game I have tried was 'Over the top: WW1'. It has a lot of potential, but the performance was absolutely horrible for me. It didn't matter if I used a low resolution with low settings, or high resolution with the 'extreme' settings, it was just bad.

Some players mentioned this might be a AMD GPU issue, DDR4 RAM issue or whatever. but I refunded it.
Following this thread for recommendations.

I'd like a CoD/Battlefield alternative, I don't feel like playing sci-fi/hero-shooters at the moment.

THE FINALS can be a pretty good choice for a CoD-like, the destruction is pretty sweet. Same devs as ARC Raiders.
