you don't need a administrator account to install warzone.
nobody is forced to use the old stable version which is less stable than the new stable version and if a binary isn't available then they just need to compile it themselves. It isn't rocket science especially on linux. It is dead simple.
All that needs to be done is have some kind of a message saying to update to 2.3 (or whatever the current version is).
Of course we will have a message saying to update to 2.3.
What I don't want to do is turn off 2.2 support completely.
It may not be that simple to get the newest version of Warzone on Linux, but it's quite a bit more complex than installing from default repositories.

I'm not very familiar with Linux OSs but, is the game structure different from windows ?
May be there is no warzone2100.exe file but should be something like that..may be warzone.sh or something? But the purpose of it - the same as *.exe .. Am I right ?
So all what auto-updated have to do is compare CRCs and download necessary file. I hope that everything is so simple as I imagine it =)

No, the thing about Linux is that binaries aren't very portable. So the warzone2100 file (Linux binaries don't have any file extension at all) that works on your Linux machine may not necessarily work on theirs. You'd need to recompile. Which I guess wouldn't be that difficult...
