Quoting: Projectile VomitBought it, but haven't been able to get it to run past the "play/quit" screen. It locks up.

Me too, on Reddit they said they don't have a loading screen yet and it's not actually locked up. They said give it a few minutes to load. On my Xubuntu I thought it was locked and hit ESC and that exited the game, so you know. =)

I spread the word. I'd buy it (or maybe I will and donate it) but my arthritis pretty much halts my ability to enjoy a FPS heh. What the heck is wrong with Steam. It looks awesome though, the green lighting on those skulls freak me out.

I've been waiting for this one, looks good. I wonder if they'll have it ready by next month, that would surely light my Fireworks.

heh, don't take me out of context. As I said, I absolutely loved SS2 The Second Encounter, especially Co-Op; and it didn't make my head sick. Incidentally, after a little research after posting, seems a lot of these new games are making people ill. Something to do with the sharp textures and bloom or whatever.

Yes Liam, I agree that Single Player is important, so important to me that I won't buy Multiplier only games, Single Player is something a lot of new AAA games choose not to add. I mean hey, I'm just as much a Games on Linux supporter as any of you, and I never implied that Croteam shouldn't release Games for Linux; the more the merrier I say.

Edit: Yes Anon, your right. And I'll try that ASAP.

SS3 required quite a bit of power to run, reviews weren't that great either. I bought the game on Steam while it was on sale a few months ago and wasn't impressed by the game-play. And something about these 'new' FPS Games just give me, literally, a headache.

While I probably won't buy anymore new SS games, I rather enjoyed SS2 and I think it's too bad they missed a great opportunity to bring it to Linux, especially since there use to be a native port.

That's pretty intense, is their a difficulty level selection? =) Looks real nice.

I played the Beta last week, Multiplayer was the only option available. The main GUI was a mess (for me) and for the life of me, I was unable to change weapons lol. The result was 0 kills and about 20 deaths. =p

My reflexes just aren't the same <sigh>.

@abelthorne Yup, it's a Source Engine. I don't know if they're helping valve with L4D2, I doubt it. Game looks good though =)

Been trying my best s_d, to spread the word about Linux. I just switched my brother over to Xubuntu three days ago, he's quite happy. It takes a lot of work to change things so that the UI becomes 'familiar', I also usually add a bundle of bookmarks to sites such as this one. Easy access to things is the key.

I have about 3000 'friends' on Facebook that I constantly throw Linux articles at and Articles relating to things such as Skype's links with Law Enforcement. On my blog I try to write articles as much as I can, to help ease people into Linux and give them helpful Tips.

I recently joined Twitter, I only have three followers but I Tweet as many links to News Articles as I can. It should be noted that I was a 'Core' Windows gamer for 15 years until switching to Xubuntu last year. The thought of switching was a bit scary, but the actual switch was a cake walk. I did research beforehand to find alternatives for Games and Apps. Like wxLame as a replacement for a Windows encoder and Torchlight as a replacement for Diablo, which is better than Diablo in my opinion and Oil Rush became a fantastic replacement for C&C Generals; I wish Torchlight 2 was ported. Everything was replaced without issue.

It all boils down to addiction. People don't really need Windows, they are just addicted to it and afraid of change. And there are lots of MS Shills that love to spread fud about Hardware not working or some other nonsense. I know it's nonsense because I have odd hardware, yet it works flawlessly without clumsy Windows drivers and accompanying bloatware.

As far as AAA Titles and Windows, what was their really besides a rehash of Call of Duty. I don't think that's anything to be missed. I also apologize for not knowing who you are, but I thank you for your work. I myself can't code and are too sick to learn but I do my best to add my library of Win Games to the WineDB, only a few so far, but hopefully I can get them all in their to help people know what's working. =)
