Anyone know of some libre tactical shooters? I really can’t find anything, just wanted to ask the community if they knew of anything. Closest i’ve found is either Unvanquished or Assaultcube. At this point of my search, I’m ready to accept that there might not be a game.

    A Compilation of the Games I’ve Found

    • Tremulous (and forks)
      An asymmetric multiplayer game where you can either play as an alien or a soldier hunting the alien. Forks are Tremfusion and Unvanquished, with unvanquished being the most modern of the three. Tactical but not quite in the way I’m looking for

    • Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory and ET:Legacy
      ET Legacy is a client for ET, and it brings modern features to it. Both are pretty fast paced and not very tactical.

    • Übergame
      It looks pretty good for a libre game, and looks to play good too. About as tactical as ET.

      Thanks for the list! Urban Terror is a lot like Counter-strike but on steroids, bhopping is unbelievably buff, and it’s a bit faster paced than ideal. I’m ready to accept that there might not be the right game out there for me yet, but I appreciate the suggestions you’ve provided.

      Search for ET Legacy, which is what the project continuing development on the ET codebase is called, optimizing it for modern systems and sporting a sizeable community.

    I’m not sure what you mean by tactical shooter but flathub has a subcategory for shooters in the games category. While half of them are source ports of Doom, Quake and some other games, there are a few games I’ve looked into that seem interesting. So far I’ve only played Empty Clip and that’s a pretty good top down shooter with rpg elements but games like Red Eclipse and Tremulous look pretty interesting as well.
