The only reason I boot up Windows at this point is to play shooters with EAC. What do you guys play if you're looking for a quick 20-minute firefight?

Xonotic is always a good one.

Full agree on Xonotic! Has also a somewhat active online play.

Hunt Showdown runs on Linux with Proton and it has EAC

[–] Blaiz0r@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It does!? Since when, this is news to me.

[–] packetloss@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Shatterline and Caliber

Both free to play, on Steam, and work using Proton.

Krunker is nice for a quick match. You can play it directly from your browser or download it from steam

I play a lot of Apex Legends. It works very well on Linux.

Older game but red orchestra 2 is a classic ww2 shooter with a decent online community. Matches are around the 20 - 30 minute mark.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't know it was still active. I have it in my Steam library. Thanks!

Insurgency Sandstorm is pretty good and CS:GO is always a classic go-to.

Some EAC games support linux like halo. I played MCC and the performance was fine, but I found the game to be unstable when interacting with the menu/UI.

My go-tos are tf2 and tf2 - that is Team Fortress 2 and Titanfall 2. Both work great on Linux and have really dedicated communities. Titanfall 2 even has the Northstar client.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Oh wow, I used to play tons of Titanfall. I'll check out Northstar. Thank you.

Why not just CS:GO? But I’m only saying this because I have no real recommendation tbh. For offline I can recommend Ravenfield. It’s really fun even though the native Linux version is kind of broken when using mods which is kinda the point of the game. Works fine using Proton though
