Some people complain about the difficulty of playing in linux, well, here is an easy method to get Team Fortress 2 to play flawlessly on Arch Linux 64bit. Follow the instructions, comment and enjoy!

Heroes of Newerth is a DOTA based game which provides player stats, powerful matchmaking system, game reconnection, diverse heroes and my favourite, leaver protection!
This game was closed beta for a while but now It has just become open so everyone can test and play it.
Here is a video so you can get the idea:
Download directly from SNOTT the windows version, notice that you have to create an account on www.heroesofnewerth.com to be able to play.
Linux Install Instructions:
Make the file executable with:
chmod +x HoNClient-0.3.1.sh
run in terminal with:
$sudo ./HoNClient-0.3.1.sh
UPDATE: This game download is very old, but I choose to keep it here so you guys have an alternate mirror for downloading the game in case hon servers get overloaded, I will try to upload the new version of Linux client when I have some spare time, also notice this game is now totally FREE to play!
ENJOY!!!
