These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Counter strike works well on the deck.
Insurgency sandstorm works well on the deck. Needs to be plugged in as it goes through battery fast.
Battlebit Remastered is the latest that works well. Remap some buttons and it’s great.
I use gyro aiming on all of these (turns on with using L2 for aiming.)
just gotta understand if u do get battlebit, itll only work until the next major patch when they implement faceit anti cheat
Was playing around with CS this morning. Its fun and the sort of thing I'm looking for, but holy hell, I did not realise how much I rely on aim assist. Gonna have to get used to using gyro and play around with sensitivity settings.
Yeah the deck takes practice to get semi decent in fps. I’ve been trying to research if it’s possible to counter recoil movements in game with the deck controls. Nothing yet but maybe someone will figure a work around.
ahem might I recommend the popular class based fps TF2?
If you're not necessarily looking for PvP, Deep Rock Galactic is an awesome 4-player coop shooter.
Another vote for Deep Rock Galactic, a great little co-op shooter. And if you don't need PvP, there's always Borderlands.
ROCK AND STONE
I'd really love something low fidelity, kinda like Battlefield Heroes was. BattleBit seems that way, but their anticheat switcheroo will leave Linux out.
Titanfall (2) is the obvious choice I believe.
Last time I checked there were no MP games at all (Titanfall 2). Maybe it's region specific? I'm in the EU. I was so sad :(
I'm not surprised, it's probably died down quite a lot :/
