Multiplayer Linux Games

Posted by timothy on from the kdebounce dept.

What I want to know is are there any decent multiplayer games that an office of about 4-7 can play, preferably action. The machines that we use are not all that great, P4 1.7Ghz with 2 year old NVidia graphics cards, so Quake and the likes are out of the question. A favorite is BZFlag due to its playability and nice tunable graphics. All thoughts welcome, and Merry Chistmas/Happy Holidays :-)"

    ...that if you want to play multiplayer games that much, partition your disk and install Windows.

    It's what most non-hypocritical Linux enthusiasts do... They realize Windows is still strongest in terms of available games. They use Linux where it's *better*, instead of settling for less in the name of misguided zeal.

    Before I insult you, I would be happy to guide you to howstuffworks.com to get an idea of how stupid the comment you just made actually is.
