I agree. It is not an interesting point that the Blizzard developers have not ported it into linux, but I think they have to! Playing with wine has no pleasure !!!
Also it is about World Of Warcraft.

Porting the code is not very simple, but it is not entirely necessary for all of the code.
In the experts world,Enterprise and EXP programmers have some good ways to do that, but I should mention that, some of these games that we are discussing(like Blizzard products), have been written not only for windows and using directx(Single OS or graphic Library), but also written for some other OSs, such as mac OS, working with other libraries such as OpenGl.
In Game Programming , programmers are educated to write code in different layers: Logic Layer, UI Layer, Graphics Layer, ... .
And if the game has been written in good and straightforward way,
porting into any OS, is just changing the desired layer, not entire code.
I think these are enough for you , but if you are interesting in knowing some more about Game Programming you have to look for it days and nights!!!

You'd have thought that having ported to OS-X, adapting it for Linux would be a piece of peace...

I would definitely like to see Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries ported to Linux, but theres a small chance to that sinse FASA has been bought by MickeySoft.

Silent Hunter III is also one of my favorites and would love to have it running natively on my FC4 installation

Flight sims, in particular CFS,CFS2,CFS3 and the IL 2 series.

If I could get some flight sims of compareable quality my Windoz partition would be gone!

I would love to see Guild Wars, KOTOR 1, KOTOR II, The Sims 2, C&C Generals, and Empire Earth 1, and 2 ported over. They are all amazing games!

There is no need for a Warcraft III port.
Is Works so good under Wine/Cedega that it makes the game better in Linux than in Windows. Give a try!!!!

Counter-Strike 1.6
Planetside

counter strike

and also age of empires ,,,,, yes age of empires even if it's made by Microsoft, but I like it very much , not like freecev ,,,,

Starcraft, Diablo II (never played DIII ) and Warcraft III por supuesto. I do run VMWare so I can have my cake and eat it too...just that I have to eat it with plain icing, rather slowly.

me too. starcraft.

There is no Diablo III. No existe, what's there is the Expansion for Diablo II, Lord of Destruction, I'd say it's a Diablo 2.25 (as Diablo was 4 episodes and the Expansion only adds one plus two classes).

However I agre 110%, if Blizzard would support/port or allow third parties to port their games to Linux, that'd be a HUGE push for gaming on Linux. There are (quite literally) millions of Blizzard game fans world wide... Linux users included.

*Really*? could've sworn there was a DIII...must have been a dream. Anyway, yeah, Blizzard's been terribly slow (read: as if they themselves no existen) on coming out with new games but there's still tons of Blizz fans. Not to mention the popularity of knockoff Battlenet servers. Go PvPGN!
