Umm... I don't know for sure, but I heard Windows games run poorly under Linux, plus that is only onboard graphics.

COD2 should definitely work. COD4 might, Deus may. I wouldn't expect any of the others to run very well.

Out of the games you listed: Deus Ex - should run just fine Call of Duty 2 - should be able to lower settings Left 4 Dead - should be able to lower seeting Iffy games: Call of Duty 4 Call of Duty: World at War Far Cry 2 Modern Warfare 2 Game that probably won't work: Crysis The only thing really holding you back from really being able to play these games is the GPU.

You need a better GPU, especially if you are running linux.

You need Windows. Games never work as good in Wine than natively on the platform they were built for.

COD4 doesn't seem to be very hard to run (I get an average of like 200fps on highest settings) so if it doesn't run, I wouldn't even bother trying anything other than COD2 and Deus Ex (I was thinking of a different one before, Deus should run fine).

You may be able to run the older CoD games and Deus Ex, but you'll want to upgrade for everything else on that list.

Well COD4 wasn't that bad, it was playable, it just got a bit laggy at times when there was a lot going on.

John Carmack is a huge linux fan. IDs games historically ran well on Linux. I seem to recall him fixing a problem with one of the linux distros to run quake 3 better.

Oh no no no no, i didn't download DooM 3 for Linux (which dosen't exist cause DooM 3 is ONLY for windows 2000 and XP), i used a program called Wine to install DooM 3, Wine is a linux tool that allows you to run windows files on linux, such as games, executable files, msi installers and other stuff. Wine pretty much tricks the program into thinking your installing it on windows but your actually installing it on Linux. And thats how i got DooM 3 to work.
