The really fun and cheap online FPS 'Ballistic Overkill' [Steam] is currently on sale with 50% off, pick up a copy and join in on one of our servers!
For the current price of £4.49, it's a deal you don't want to miss if you're a Linux gamer and an FPS lover. This class-based FPS has a lot of features to love, although the map design with the safe areas for each team is an issue for some. It's not perfect for sure, but it is a good blast.
Note - If you get a black screen, it's a bug in the version of Unity it uses. You can add this to the Steam launch option to fix it:
The game also supports Vulkan, although the Vulkan version is currently less tested and less smooth. Do so by adding "-force-vulkan" to the launch options on Steam.
We have three servers for it, see details on our servers here.

Quoting: lucifertdarkQuoting: dorronWould buy if they added some kind of single player, even if it was just bots offline.The same goes for me, I can't just jump into an online multiplayer game without practising on a few bots first.
The thing is everybody starts off the same i know people want to jump in and be elite but sometimes am afraid you just have to be a noob.

I solve that by using a different exit and then wrecking all the campers,if you play as a team the spawn camping does not happen.

Ballistic Overkill is a pretty good game. But I'd rather play Dirty Bomb if it had Linux support )

Does somebody know why it says 1920x1080@60Hz in the graphics settings? I play on a 144Hz monitor and get framerates >120 on medium settings which feels very smooth. So there is no a 60fps cap.

Teamwork rarely but you can normally convince at least one to come with in chat as long as you dont start with an insult in the chat.

Yeah Dirty bomb is okay but the complete random nature of weapons and abilities angers and annoys me
