FPS Games for Linux

Linux is a free OS. It is the fastest developing OS. Most of the server around the world use Linux as their platform as it has many advantages and easier programming facilities. Then why not for games. Games like Couter Strike and Call of Duty seem to have servers running in Linux. It is good to have runnable games in Linux to encourage the increasing number of users of Linux around the World.

The Games like EA Sports Fifa, NFS, etc should be supporting Linux too. Linux's baisc video mode is OpenGL which is a widely supported mode for all the games. With good GPUs available form nVIDIA and ATI, it might never be a problem for Linux to process games of such Graphics. The supported Games are the most massively played multiplayer games like Unreal Tournament and Quake and Counter Strike. It is always better to have more number of games supporting Linux OS with time which will increase the number of users of Linux around the World.

The Limitation to this idea may be the wide range of Linux OSs releasing with time. There are a number of OSs like Red Hat's Fedora Core, Ubuntu, Debian etc...
