    I've been waiting on this for a while, I bought a four-pack of licenses, and I'd be happy to give you one.

      Sure, thanks. Since its Source Engine based, hopefully will be able to utilize all of the standard timedemo mechanisms to run benchmarks on it.

      Michael at phoronix is the email or 'phoronix' if needing the Steam username.

        Nvidia.
        Also, there's no crashing caused by alt-tab.
        The Windows version doesn't crash by alt-tab either, however it does pause for such a length of time you might think it has. The fix for this is to run in borderless window mode. Insurgency is the best FPS I have. Better than Battlefield, Call of Duty or Counter Strike. All those games have been polluted by achievement whores and casuals who can't understand anything beyond deathmatch. Insurgency is designed for teamwork, and it's far more deadly than all those games I mentioned. Now if they port World of Warcraft to Linux I will barely need Windows.
