Sven Co-op, a co-operative game originally based around Half-Life now on Linux in Alpha

Quoting: ZeitgeistYou can also play HL Invasion and Natural Selection on Linux.

Wow! Back in the day my PC was not capable enough to run NS2 on GNU/Linux, so I asked Unknown Worlds Forum to port good old NS into Linux.

After many years, I gave up on that mod and meanwhile recently I got a new PC which can run many Linux games. Now NS is avalable for Linux but servers are empty. Better than nothing I guess. :-D

They even messaged me to ask for testing; I did not see, shame...

Downloading via Steam right now. I just wonder, does it only make you play original Half-Life single player campaign co-op or are there dedicated maps for co-op? I have played Half-Life: Decay a year ago and it was beautiful.

Check out this AMD video talking about Vulkan (and DirectX12)

Quoting: t3gFor the user who made the Doom 3 comments, there is always rbdoom3bfg available in he Ubuntu 16.04 repos or playdeb.net. There were talks about Vulkan for this project, but it's been on hold: https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/issues/317

Actually Valve approached Bethesda about Doom 3 BFG Edition in order to have it as a launch title on Steam for Linux. Bethesda declined. Shame..

A great piece of art. I played its horrendously bad WINE port back in the day, yet succesfuly finished regardless. I might give another shot for Steam achievements but I have too many games in my account that I haven't touched yet. But that is a "must have" have, go and get it while it is free of charge.

Quoting: rea987Has anyone successfully compiled the source? Despite the fact that I use Linux for years, I still suck at code level. Any instructions?

Hmmm, Serious Sam 1 and 2 is on sale on GoG right now, I will try it and then I will tell you if I succeeded :)

Well, I succesfuly compiled the source with cmake. But I haven't figure out where to put the game assets that I downloaded via SteamCMD.

What are you playing this weekend?

Quoting: rea987"Having a proper WWII shooter on Linux is going to be pretty awesome."

Well, we have Day of Defeat and Day of Defeat: Source, have we not? :-P
And the old but always good Enemy Territory ;)

Actually even Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is still playable if you can tolerate the sound issues...
