a quick question about games on linux

i own a pc with the linux operating system(yes i hate it, but all the other comps. are filled with viruses and have low specs)

what i wanna know is, will games like crysis, unreal, or battlefield work on my linux?

now before you say-"WTF? no games work on linux" well i got GTA VC and SA able to work on it through emulation but it doesnt say "games for windows" on their boxes

so is there any chance of crysis being played on a linux?

i know nothing about PC gaming, cuz im a console gamer... but i still wanna play crysis, so cut me some slack

Games for Windows is just promotional. With emulation its always a gamble though. Also GTA SA is not at all the same as crysis. I haven't tried this personally but everything I have read says some have got Crysis to boot up but there are problems that make the game unplayable.

Keep in mind that Crysis is designed for directX 9 and 10 which is a problem fora lot of windows emulators. Also Crysis is a system hog and running it through an emulator is asking a lot of your system.

Overall I think it might be a waste of money to buy right now.I would wait a year and the price will drop and people will have had more time to figure out how to emulate Crysis properly.

My advice is to get windows and install it.

Yes you can run some games on Linux, many of ids games will run on Linux.
