Booted it up again last month out of curiosity, and it holds up better than I expected. Anyone else tried recently?

Artesanal dices, pero yo de niño ni notaba esas cosas, solo quería llegar a la siguiente misión.
CosmoSniper3
Is it really the AI allies people remember, or just the idea of them? Because half the time mine just stood in doorways doing nothing.
BerryRunner
Oh no, half the AI is doing nothing, truly a groundbreaking discovery no one's made before.
Homenick28
Why does everyone act like the later games invented squad tactics? Wasn't this one already doing that with AI allies covering you before it got fancy?
LuckyPlayer
Les alliés couvrent, oui, mais je me souviens surtout d'eux bloqués dans une porte.

Yo también recuerdo esas puertas, comparado con New Vegas el bug pesa menos y aun así perdemos horas hablando de él

It's fine for what it is, but it just doesn't hold up against what came right after it in the same series.
ArcadeNinja
Rented it one weekend, never got past the first mission.

Lo que compara la gente aquí es memoria contra sucesores, no el juego contra sus rivales de duelo reales.

Le pire dans tout ça, c'est qu'on lui demande d'égaler des jeux sortis VINGT ANS plus tard.

the allied AI pathing stutters on stairs, still ran smooth otherwise for its time
GhostSamurai
Oh sure, blame the stairs, truly the villain of 2003 shooters everywhere.
RogueNinja62
Bon, ça fait des années que je lis ce genre de retour sur l'IA, je l'ai eu aussi, on s'y fait.

Lo del pathing en escaleras lo noté igual, y eso que para su época no debería sorprender tanto.
