Quake Wars for LinuxSorta

[Rich Tate]

All of you Linux folks can rejoice at the fact that Quake Wars will be coming to an O/S near you, just not with the initial retail launch. It is however a very high priority.

However, he did ensure that a Linux client is coming, and that it will be of top quality when it's released. "Once these things wind down (in the upcoming weeks) I will start working specifically on the client," he wrote. "But fear not, ATI and Nvidia have expressed interest in getting a Linux client early, so they can review how it performs and get their drivers adjusted. When we release, we'll release a high-quality product, just like we do on Windows."

Sweet! Now I can play something other than Doom3 and UT2K4 (w/o Wine, Cedega, etc.) when I'm on the ol' Linux partition!

This is the game that could replace WoW for me, and that's saying quite a bit. I'm getting kinda sick of all the class-balance changes in WoW... brutal when it takes a couple months or five to get to maximum level. And I loved ET back in the day. Playing an FPS again will be refreshing.

I'd like to see more and more developers taking on this challenge! Big up to them for doing this...
