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?

ahem might I recommend the popular class based fps TF2?

Counter strike works well on the deck.

Insurgency sandstorm works well on the deck. Needs to be plugged in as it goes through battery fast.

Battlebit Remastered is the latest that works well. Remap some buttons and it’s great.

I use gyro aiming on all of these (turns on with using L2 for aiming.)

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.

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.

The biggest downside is they plan to move to an anticheat that won’t work on Linux. It’s EAC now but will be moving to faceit.

Apparently they may keep some EAC official servers. I want to give this game a go but may see how the situation pans out.

I’d really love something low fidelity, kinda like Battlefield Heroes was. BattleBit seems that way, but their anticheat switcheroo will leave Linux out.

Titanfall (2) is the obvious choice I believe.

Last time I checked there were no MP games at all (Titanfall 2). Maybe it’s region specific? I’m in the EU. I was so sad :(

I’m not surprised, it’s probably died down quite a lot :/
