It's supposed to be easy.
-Download http://www.pbcup.com/community/paintball2_build016_linux_full.tar.gz (or paintball2_build016_linux_full.tar.gz from any of the other mirrors).
-Extract it (tar zxvf paintball2_build016_linux_full.tar.gz)
-Goto your paintball2 directory (cd paintball2)
-Run the paintball2 file (./paintball2)

You'll may run into an error message when starting it.  Let us know what it is and myself or someone else can probably help out.

What distro are you using?  Seems dga isn't included in some for whatever reason.  I think I'll just completely remove DGA support for the next release.

I have run dpball in normal Ubuntu (that's right, crazy people like me claim that Gnome is normal), so whatever the problem is, if its software, then check the repos'.

I have it running on Ubuntu right now.  I needed to link the libgl.so.
