What players say

Does not function properly on Windows 10 or 11. Game is entirely broken. A shame considering it used to be a fun one.

Sadly this game is simply broken. Honestly its amazing they're even selling it! The enemy infantry ai is completely broken! They just run in random directions shooting at nothing and flopping on the ground. They will eventually run off the map through the walls and terrain and become glitched out forcing you to wait until the game removes them which could take awhile.

I had 0 issues booting this game up like I thought I would after what some have said. I got an error at 1st boot-up but didn't allow the old/outdated .NET Framework to install and it worked great when I tried to boot it up again which is good because: This game was a large part of my early adult life and it's awesome to get to play it again. I didn't even know they made a 2nd one until today and I'm for sure picking...
