BATTALION 1944, a competitive WW2 FPS looks like it may come with Linux support

I didn't think I was interested in WWII anymore, but after watching half that video... if it comes to Linux, I'll probably have to get it and... play it a bunch. :)

What have you been playing and what do you think?

I've been playing Arma 3 co-op missions with my Windows buddies. They kindly applied the legacyports build to their clients. It's been pretty hard but very enjoyable. On the single-player side of things, I've been playing The Witcher 3 on PS4. I thought my hours logged were in the 20's, so I was quite surprised when I checked my stats and it was 46 hours or so. It might be, in my opinion, the best game there is to date.

I like the graphics at least. Makes me wish I could play Pikmin. I'm interested.

Some thoughts on Vikings - Wolves of Midgard

I've been on the fence about this one for a long time. Since it sounds like co-op requires same OS, I'll hold off until either that's fixed or I set up a Linux drive for my friend. :whistle:

The character structure made me think of FF Tactics: War of the Lion straight away.

GW2 already works in WINE; unless the latest expansion has killed it! But a month ago it was just fine.
Yeah, it worked a couple years ago when I tried last actually. I was just listing off the games I'd likely rely on WINE for.

That's some great news. While I've steered away from using Wine, once I nuke my Windows 7 installation in the year 2020, there may be a game or two that I can't live without.

Some games that I can live without but would be nice to have:
PUBG
HotS
Skyrim (already beat it, but kinda want to play through it again)
Elder Scrolls Online
Guild Wars 2
Battlefield 4
Starcraft II

Out of those games, I've only been playing PUBG lately. While I would miss playing that with my friends, It's not a road block for me ditching Windows once it loses all support.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III has a new Linux patch out, Steam Workshop support and more added

Lack of co-op campaign kills it for me. The only single-player games I play anymore are RPG's, and I still can't keep up with all the good ones. I'm only playing the Witcher 3 (PS4) just now, and I have Andromeda (PS4), Pillars of Eternity, a couple Shadowruns, and KOTORII at my disposal. Those are the ones I already own. On my wish list are the Banner Saga, Baldur's Gates, Icewind Dale, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Tyranny, and the Dwarves.
