3 Classic First-Person Shooter Games for Linux
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
A true classic and one of the most played online first-person shooter games, Wolfenstein: ET was supposed to be released as a new mod for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but the single-player part of the game was abandoned and it was released at no cost, as a standalone multiplayer game.
Today, after over five years since the game was released, ET is still one of the most popular online FPS games out there, at least on the Linux platform.
ET is one of the games which puts accent on the teamplay, as well as learning to use abilities for each class which you play with. There are two factions or sides: the allies and the axis, and you can choose to play as a soldier, engineer, covert ops, medic or field ops. Each of these class has special abilities, and you’ll get points from using them. For example, the engineer can plant mines as well as arming and disarming bombs, while the soldiers clear the path by killing the enemies and the medic heals everybody. That’s what I like about this game: you get experience for healing teamplayers with medics for example, rather than going into battle, get yourself killed and leave the players in your team without any chances of revival.
