Ballistic Overkill [Steam], the indie online FPS has been updated once again and it now features lots of voice commands and much more.

PSA: We run a server for Ballistic Overkill! Just search for "gamingonlinux" when in-game! You can see all the servers we run here.

I have to hand it to these guys, they are doing Early Access really well with plenty of updates! This latest version continues to make me love what they are doing with it!

New stuff:
- Voice Commands
- Skills Feedback
- More Mouse Sensitivity options
- An option to always run
- Added Polish language.
- Added a subtle feedback on the mini-map when you are revealed in the enemy radars.
- Added an error message when the game is unable to connect to Steam platform.
- Bug fixes

Awesome stuff and I highly recommend picking it up! The game seems to be slowly growing too, as 13 days ago it hit a new record-high of people online, which was only 349, but that's still impressive considering it's Early Access and still relatively unknown. I've never had a problem finding a game and our server has people on it often to the point of being full a lot. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: ElvanexI picked this game up a few months ago on your recommendation, and it has quickly become my go to shooter, and replaced CS:GO for me completely. :) Definitely more than worth the price, and a very high quality Linux version. This game needs more attention for sure.

it needs more players for sure very worried it wont be around in a year
That is my concern. I like going to csgo for a quick frag but sometimes I just want to run around and shoot and csgo isn't the greatest for that

This is, but as you say... it might not be around. its cheap so i won't be too out of pocket as long as i play it a bit more but still...

Well, an ordinary shooter...
...nothing special, a bit of a disappointment, really (Tactical Ops from 1999 is more interesting!).

Anyway, will not want my money back, I'm proudly supporting the Linux devs out there :)

Fair enough i personally am enjoying it its an arcade shooter short game matches perfect to just pick up play a couple of games and bouncing. Tact ops was very different from memory that was more in the style of the old school tactical shooter rainbow six.
