victorvdl writes "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the World War II-themed FPS originally developed by 2015 Inc. is now available for Linux and is shipping right now from Tux Games. The incredible Ryan Gordon aka icculus did the porting. It's nice to see more Linux games being shipped - I'm definitely buying this one."

Surely die hard Linux users wouldn't buy the Windows version because they don't have Windows?

Anyway, I've just got round to ordering it. So that's at least one ;)

More games!

[Anonymous Coward]

There are over 100 games on this list of Linux games. Since this is Wikipedia, You can click the "edit" tab and add even more! You know you want too.

Stop making up excuses, Linux has the games, the question is, will you play them? My machine is 100% linux, I have all the games I want! Saying "Linux has a lack of games" is NOT and excuse anymore for not using Linux!

Lets not forget WineX, the tool that lets you play Windows games in Linux! So no more dual booting, delete that partition, TODAY!

Seriously though, how many people will still play this game with you? It's based on old technology and even though it may still be fun single-player, the multi-player market is dead. Thus you will only get half the intended fun out of it.

Don't shoot me down, I'm in the same boat really. I have 2 copies of Quake 3 (I bought the windows version, and later bought the Linux collectors edition anyway just to support them... even though I did not even need to)

As for NWN... I just bought my second copy for OS X (I would prefer playing it on OS X), but all my friends have moved onto other games already, so it's a bit lonely now... :(

It's a different matter if the games get released even just a week after the windows version... I would buy the Linux and OS X versions out of principle.

But 6 months!!! You MUST be kidding... it's not worth-while. (Advice I should follow too...) ;)

Not true

When I first saw the headline, I mentioned to my boss that MoH was finally out for linux. He told me that I should get it as soon as I can. That's one person who still wants to play it with other people.

Then he mentioned that he played it _last night_ online. And that he has no trouble finding people to play against. And that there are plenty of servers.

Maybe the unwashed horde has moved on to other games, but it seems like there's still a thriving community here.

Besides, anytime's a good time to buy, when you're buying something that's worth it to you. Who cares what the other guy is doing, you're not him.
