Joining the ranks today is a new official GOL game server for Ballistic Overkill, my favourite indie FPS right now.

No need for an IP, just look for GamingOnLinux in the server list!

I will probably hop on it tonight during the livestream to give it a proper whirl!

Enjoy! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Nice!

I am going to have to look into this game now. With this server and Ark is there a community voice chat server like Mumble or anything similar?

We have discord: https://discord.gg/0rxBtcSOonvGzXr4
And Mumble: mumble.gamingonlinux.com

I'm generally not on the mumble, that's just there if the community need it.

You have thought of everything!

This site is the only reason I bought the game. Ballistic is the closest thing we have to the major multiplayer shooters.

I'm curious what you think of CounterStrike: GO and TF2 then. CounterStrike was the major multiplayer shooter when I was younger, and although TF2 is more of a hat simulator these days, I hear it still has shooter and multiplayer elements.

I've been considering to get this game. It looks pretty fun.

"major multiplayer shooters" being code for Call of Duty. Sorry, but I consider Counter Strike to be in a different class entirely.

EDIT: To elaborate, CoD is basically the Mario Kart of FPS in that it levels the playing field with all sorts of BS perks and drops and killstreaks whereas Counter Strike essentially has no skill ceiling.

Fair enough. I've never played Call of Duty, so I have no idea how it plays.

What!, Why not "Liam's **** hole server" .....

They proved to be rather popular :P

this looks promising, I haven't seen anything that indicates Paladins could come to Linux so this could be the next best thing.
Beamboom 5 Feb 2017
Hmm... This may be the thing that makes me shell out for this game. Would be great fun to meet y'all in there.

Just bought it. Looks nice, will join on the server whenever possible.
I do get high ping (190ms) as the server is in Europe though.
buenaventura 6 Feb 2017
TF2 is still too fun!
spoonie_au 6 Feb 2017
Just brought it. Going to give it a crack when its finished downloading.

I found an opening on Tuesday. Mostly got my ass handed to me by people playing 20 to 30 levels above me. Except for one game where I owned the whole lot. :D

I've been considering a second server, since ours are so popular. I think it's due to location (UK) so it gives non-us people a decent ping.

Let me know if it continues.

I got killed by Samsai many times. I feel honoured :-)
