Yeah, I still keep XP on a partition because I still can't get Photoshop to run on my Ubuntu, and the odd game of course. Otherwise... |

Actually, I just read in their FAQ that they intend to have a Linux client available. I can't find it but if it's not out yet it sounds like they intent to eventually, which is good news. |

i hope they are really careful when making the linux client though. |

Yes, I've been playing the original Savage since yesterday and it is very much like natural selection, but with a more fantasy feel, I also thing the RTS bit is a bit more polished. |

That looks interesting - seems about time the genres were effectively blended. |

How does this game compare to its predecessor? |

This is the first time I have played Savage Blaise. The only other online games I've played are Diablo2, Americas Army and Freelancer. |

Savage 2 is now available for Linux! I had great success with the Savage 1 client, so I'm downloading this now with great hopes. |

I'm more of a FPS guy. These types of games suck me in and I loose days at a time |

I tried Alien Arena, but I just couldn't get into it. It made me think of UT2003, but the weapons all seemed a bit 'samey'. It's bloody good, but I have a hard enough time choosing between BF2142 and ET:QW. Hehe. |

I've tried Alien Arena and W:ET, I couldn't get into either, I understand the limitations of open source programming, but I really don't enjoy playing such poor looking FPS's on my Linux machine which has relatively good hardware. |

I used to play ET a lot ^^ and imo the graphics were adequate for the time. I had a gf4 ti4200 back then. |

lol - it may have been free, but W:ET was never open source (and still isn't AFAIK). As for graphics - W:ET was very good for its time; don't forget that it was the incomplete sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which was released in 2001! |

Yes, you're right, it wasn't open source, pardon me, but it was 2001 and it's 2008 now, I'd like to try and play something a bit more modern, well, except for Diablo II which is still awesome and doesn't have any contenders to its throne. |

Sorry - missed the Linux question, Blaise. You'll be pleased to know that there is a Linux client for Quake Wars. There is a handy FAQ here along with download links for the retail and demo versions. I should think that so long as your machine meets the minimum spec, the Linux client should prove as good as (if not better than) the Windows client. I'd recommend trying the demo even if you're sure your machine is up to it. quote: |
