Phoronix: America's Army Considering SteamOS / Linux Support

America's Army: Proving Grounds may receive a port to Linux/SteamOS...

I'd play it. I'd even pay something to the Steam Store for it ...

The only good alternative on Linux at that time was Enemy Territory, so we started playing that a lot instead.

I think that you forgot to mention Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror.

fun fact AA was one of first big games on Linux. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7444 and they cancelled Linux support somewhere along the road

note the year 2004

I remember the year when Ryan stopped working on the Linux version of AA. In 2006, It was one of the few games for Linux that used Unreal engine 2 e.g. AA, Devastation, Postal 2, UT 2003/2004, and Devastation was never a playable game.

Oh, sorry, I've never heard of that. But I did play Doom 3 and Quake 4, but they weren't very good for multiplayer.
