Actually, that won't work, as the problem is you can't swap the first CD back at the end of the install. In order to get CoD installed properly, you need to use the Loki installer for the game, which can be found here: Right-click the link and choose 'Save link as.' EDIT - You may still need to use a cracked.exe to run the game, I can't remember if Wine's copy protection support is sufficient to run CoD. EDIT2 - I just checked with my copy and I did not need a crack. Re-read my post, I said right-click the link and choose 'Save link as.' Don't just click on the link, it will load a really huge text file that you technically could copy/paste, but why bother when you can just save the text file itself. After you save the file, it is a simple matter of putting in your CoD install CD, marking the saved file as executable and then running it: chmod +x call.of.duty1.5-english.run./call.of.duty1.5-english.run Once that finishes, the game is installed.

Call of Duty Black Ops multiplayer running on Ubuntu 15.04 through Wine-Staging! I'm using Wine-Staging 1.7.51 with the CSMT patch enabled. It's a clean.

The installation will put two launch scripts in your home directory, codsp and codmp, one for single-player games and one for multiplayer games. To run them, just open a terminal and do this: bash codsp OR bash codmp You can create a shortcut in the Applications menu that will do the same. The first time you launch multiplayer, it will take a really long time to load. Once it has loaded, you will need to enter your CD key in order to connect to any multiplayer servers.

However, PunkBuster does not work in Wine, so you can only play on servers that are not PunkBuster enabled. As for UO, since the game is not installed through normal Wine means, none of the registry entries that the UO installer looks for are present, and the install will fail to run, claiming you do not have CoD installed (if you try to install CoD through normal Wine means, the same thing happens anyway). There is supposedly a way to use the CoD install script to install it, but I do not know how to do that. I have also heard that UO can be installed by simply copying the necessary files off of the install CDs into CoD's install directory, but I've never tried it myself.

Installing (MW2) with Steam is very simple in. I assume that running the standard MW2 installation in Wine will also work fine but seeing as I am a user I decided to take the extra step of installing MW2 via. Everything works great too, I am running the game at 1920x1080 with no lag or choppiness.

The installation is basically the same as the Windows installation except for the extra step of installing. Step 1: Install To install steam and play the game you will need to first install. To install the latest version of Wine simply open the 'Ubuntu Software Center' and the search for 'wine' and the install 'Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Later(Beta Realease)'.

Installing Wine via the Ubuntu Software Center Step 2: Install To install just head over to the steam website and download the Windows installer. After you have downloaded the installer you need to give the file execute permissions before you can run it so just right click the file and go 'Properties' - 'Permissions Tab' and then check 'Allow executing file as program'.

Now just double click the installer and the Steam install wizard will appear and you can just follow the steps as you normally would Steam running in Ubuntu 10.10 with Wine Step 3: Install This step is pretty damn easy, just install via Steam like you would normally on Windows and then you are good to go. Note: the installing DirectX step of the installer took a while to complete, don't worry it works just give it a few minutes.

MW2 running like a dream on Ubuntu 10.10 So that's really it, super easy and working perfectly. I'm really pleased with the performance of MW2 using Wine and Steam, up until now I have kept a dual boot with Win7 for playing games but now I can finally do away with Windows altogether. @user Have you tried turning down some of the game video settings(particularly the smoke and shadow rendering) as these can slow things down. I have had some issues in the past with 3d performance with ATI cards in previous version of Ubuntu so that may be it. But my first recommendation would be to tweak the in game video settings(maybe set everything to lowest and then start increasing the quality and seeing where the lagging kicks in). I hope this helps, let me know what sort of results you get and i'll add it into the guide.
