Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users 🤷‍♂️ So I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

For some good battlefield alternatives that run great on Linux check out ->

Oh, thanks. I didn't know that that was out until you mentioned it.

Thanks for the recommendations! Especially Easy Red 2 👀

I am a big fan of the Red Orchestra/Rising Storm series and there is a mod coming out soon for Rising Storm 2 called Black Orchestra that I'm planning to fill the Battlefield shaped hole in my heart with. It's in beta right now, but you best believe I'll be letting everyone know about it when it hits steam.
