I can't believe I missed this thread!
I played through the game and loved every piece. I thought the writing was cool in that all the stories intersect. You see the labs and maps from different perspectives. Brilliant!
But for me, online multiplayer was incredible. I still play online, in fact, and this game came out in, what? December 2001 or something? Unlike Easytiger, I really loved the Alien portion. There is a simplicity to the character that makes playing online a lot of fun. No weapon switching!
I also think the characters are pretyt well balanced. Not perfect, but pretty good. The lack of weapon switching for an alien character is balanced with the lack of speed for health, and vice versa for a marine.
Bots: Yeah, I can't believe that Monolith couldn't drop some in the multiplayer. They seem really effective in teh single player game, so it does seem odd. Maybe in the next version?
All in all, this is a cool game. One of my favorites!
