What I mean't by launcher was mostly ea and u play.
Ea since it doesn't work for me and uplay since I don't like ubisoft.
My go-tos on my Arch laptop are Doom and Quake, there's tons of sourceports, both focused on singleplayer or multi player for both games and their sequels. You just need to buy the games once so you have the main game files to use with the optimized source ports.
Good ol counter strike
I played way too much Counter-Strike in college, and I don't regret a minute of it. Then I discovered the "that's so unrealistic bro" genre of shooters like Squad, Day-Z, Tarkov, and Arma, I never looked back.
What issue are you having with Battlefield 3/EA? I just installed it last week I think I did it via Lutris
If you are talking about multiplayer :
- The Finals
- Insurgency Sandstorm
- Hunt: Showdown 1896
- Hell Let Loose
- CS 2
- No More Room in Hell 1&2
Many options !
