I think this game has aged almost like a fine wine, the blend of FPS & strategy elements is well done. The sound design is really satisfying in my opinion, the models are quite detailed for GoldSource standards, the maps are interestingly constructed and the weapons are somewhat balanced. However, i find it quite odd that not all footstep sounds from Half-Life are replaced, for example, the metal grate sounds are 11.025khz whereas most of the others are 22.05khz. I'd like to mention (although this doesn't affect my verdict much) is that the music is played via FMod, which in itself is fine, but at higher system volumes, the music can actually drown out the game potentially leading you to miss sound cues. Despite the flaws, this game stands the test of time. -DarkGunner September 17th, 2021
