Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map.
Built around multiplayer battles of two teams, Reliable Excavation Demolition (RED) and Builders League United (BLU), representing competing construction teams, players choose between two game modes: capture the flag (CTF) and a control point mode. In CTF the objective is to obtain a briefcase of intelligence from the enemy team's base and return it to their own base while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. In the control point mode the objective is similar, only related to holding particular territories. To be successful in either the most important thing is to understand and use each character class in the best way possible.

I'm playing this on 64 bit Ubuntu. Might not be a 64 bit game but it works.
afaik, this would require a 64 steam client, too.
Why should valve care.
Good article! Will try some of that stuff pretty soon. Cheers!
Try lowering the graphic settings and setting the -heapsize launch option. The launch options are described here: http://www.nextlevelgamer.com/team-fortress-2/team-fortress-2-launch-opt...
I found this tip in the game forums and it made a big difference for me, but I am not sure if it was the graphic settings, the heapsize or both.
This game takes ages to load :\
