I have been waiting for Insurgency to come to Linux for over two years, and I'm glad to see the developers start to really make a push for us.
You can only play with people also playing the beta (not many), so you may want to hold off unless you plan to test it and report bugs.
My limited experience so far has been pretty good, in-game it performs very well on the highest settings and seems to be silky smooth. I have seen others have problems with black screens and other issues, so your mileage will vary right now.
The developers are asking for feedback on their forum post here.
About the game
Take to the streets for intense close quarters combat, where a team's survival depends upon securing crucial strongholds and destroying enemy supply in this multiplayer and cooperative Source Engine based experience. The follow-up game to the award-winning Source mod, Insurgency is highly competitive and unforgivingly lethal, striking a balance between one-life gameplay and prolonged action.
The game is now available to buy on Steam, and download it, but you must opt into the beta. It's a 4.4GB download, so it's not exactly a very long download either.
I am very, very pleased to see them begin to deliver! I love more tactical FPS games, as I'm not a big fan of super fast paced FPS games, and I imagine I'm not alone. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I just read on a forum that this game is a lot like Socom II.... I am foaming at the mouth now. Socom II was my crack as a teenager. I spent so much time glued to a recliner playing Socom II on an old 32" tv and loved every damn minute. If they can make this game work well enough on a Steam Controller to the point that it's not a handicap I think that there will be a permanent indent in my couch from where I sit.
