Looking for a decent simple multiplayer FPS. I was having fun with Black Ops 2 via Plutonium, but got banned due to every Steam Deck having the same HWID :(
Looking for something where I can just pick it up for 30-60 minutes and run around and shoot people. Don't want a ton of complicated mechanics, p2w, seasons passes, loot boxes or a requirement to dedicate half my life to the game. Does this exist?
Try out Battlebit. It’s pretty much the best shooter you can get at the moment and it only costs 15 bucks. I don’t quite know how it runs on a steam deck, should be running fine though.
This is the reason I haven't bought it yet. Tempted to play it on Steam Deck, but not in the least tempted to play it for a while only to have it thwarted later by an anti cheat that doesn't work on Linux.
Was playing around with CS this morning. Its fun and the sort of thing I'm looking for, but holy hell, I did not realise how much I rely on aim assist. Gonna have to get used to using gyro and play around with sensitivity settings.
Yeah the deck takes practice to get semi decent in fps. I’ve been trying to research if it’s possible to counter recoil movements in game with the deck controls. Nothing yet but maybe someone will figure a work around.
I'd really love something low fidelity, kinda like Battlefield Heroes was. BattleBit seems that way, but their anticheat switcheroo will leave Linux out.
I'd say it depends entirely on your mindset. I've been enjoying playing it casually. There's both a ranked and unranked mode, but even in the ranked mode on lower ranks it's pretty fun to just mess about. It does require you not to focus on chasing rank
Not a specific game recommendation but I highly recommend learning flick stick + gyro aiming. It has a learning curve but lets you compete against mouse users
