I just got started with Ubuntu a few months back and I am kind of enjoying it. However, I would like to play some games in Ubuntu like Hitman, Delta Force, COD, etc. You get the type of game: I think it's called FPS. So can you guys just pick one game of your choice and give me the steps you followed to install it.

I have read a few answers in some forums but I am unable to wrap by head around it. All I could understand was Step 1 : Install Wine (Completed) Step 2 : Install Steam ??? ...

Please help!

1. You can install Steam from the software center and do not need to install wine for it.

Many games like Counter Strike : Global Offensive etc work natively on Linux.

2. Otherwise, you can install open source FPS like Assault Cube using the Terminal.

sudo apt-get install assaultcube

3. You can also run windows games using PlayOnLinux. To install -

sudo apt-get install playonlinux

  • "Many games like Counter Strike : Global Offensive" Well... CSGO is not without bugs, CS Source works flawlessly.

  • Installed the steam launcher. Do I need to be online if I want to play games?

  • It depends on whether you want to play online or offline. Most games can be played offline. However, some games require that you are always online.
