Ballistic Overkill is a fun and cheap FPS that I've put many hours into, it's now free to try for a few days and on sale with 50% off if you decide to keep it. The game has been out for a year now (minus a little time for the Linux build), so they're celebrating.
The developer just put out a fresh update today as well which adds in female skins for the Wraith and Tank classes. They say they're working to add more female skins in a future update too. On top of that, they've also added in 238 new weapon skins, allowed you to equip multiple accessories at the same time and previous seasons crates (their form of free loot boxes) are now permanent drops.
I'm hoping they have some bigger updates planned, as it's a very fun game but it sorely needs a few new maps.
Find Ballistic Overkill on Steam, you've got nothing to lose if you try it out.

If I can get at least one of my friends to play, I'll end up buying it too.
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs just multiplayer or I can play solo against the IA?
Just multiplayer. And one of the more annoying features is the fact that you can't choose which game mode to join. You get put into a random game.

That was one of the reasons I quit playing this game. I was hoping for a single player training mode so you could learn the classes outside of multiplayer.
Quoting: ElvanexWhile not as fun as it used to be, it's still one of the better FPS games on Linux imho. :)
Its not as fun because the community went to shite which is a shame

You can choose what game mode you play you edit the settings select your preferred game mode then you will only ever play that game type also use the browse the community servers and just change game type. As for the classes if you have played a fps in the last 15 years you are good to go sniper/heavy/jack of all trades/damage & stealth class pretty much sums them all up the rest is down to postioning and learning which gun suits your play style.
