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?
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 :(
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.
CS:GO is free to play and about to get a big update/overhaul into CS2. It’s a valve game so it’s bound to work great on steam deck
I’ve been considering CSGO but its always kinda intimidated me. Is it suitable for semi-casual play with handheld controls?
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
I’d really love something low fidelity, kinda like Battlefield Heroes was. BattleBit seems that way, but their anticheat switcheroo will leave Linux out.
ahem might I recommend the popular class based fps TF2?
