ET: Legacy for Linux

First-person objective shooter

Overview

ET: Legacy is a free-to-play, multiplayer first-person shooter available on Linux.

In this game, players join teams as either Axis or Allies and fight in large battles with up to 64 players.

The game focuses on working together with your team to reach goals and win matches.

Success depends on how well players communicate and use their different character classes.

Each team consists of five unique classes, each with special abilities that help the group.

Players form smaller groups called fire teams to share quick messages and plan strategies using an easy-to-use messaging system and a command map showing the whole battlefield.

This makes teamwork important to cover each other and complete tasks.

ET: Legacy is based on the open-source code of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, which was released under the GPLv3 license in 2010.

Because the game is built on this code, it stays free and open to anyone who wants to play.

The focus on team-based tactical combat makes ET: Legacy ideal for players who enjoy multiplayer action games set in World War II.

However, the gameplay depends heavily on team cooperation, so it may not be enjoyable for players who prefer solo play.

There is no single-player mode available.

Users seeking a Linux game with strong multiplayer support and tactical teamwork will find ET: Legacy a fitting choice.
