The verdict
A classic arena shooter with huge mode, map and mod variety and strong bots, but delisted with dead official multiplayer. Skip it if you need easy online play.
Great for
Arena shooter fans, nostalgic veterans, LAN parties and bot-match players
Main risk
Official multiplayer is dead and the game is delisted, so online play needs community patches
