this game deserves a remake. nothing has been made like this. It's kinda like arma but better.
It's very dated in mechanics,physics and graphics. It's very clunky.
Well it's gonna hit the 20 year soon.
In today's age it not worth to get it to play. Maybe against bots but for multiplayer i don't know.

I'm even surprised there are still servers up but with a very small player base. The max i've seen is 6 players in 1 server in my playtime. Maybe i'll consider playing again when the player base is at its highest point but i'm not keeping my hopes high.

It still runs without issues on W10 which surprises me

Used to play it on my sisters boyfriend pc at the time "online" and gave it to me years later. So never got into it how the game really was at the time, well i was 9-11y old. Mainly played against bots afterwards because making an account didn't work out for some reason than. I still have the cd box and i'll treasure it as memory.

I wish i could experience the game back in the day in its full potential, well i was to young to fully understand this game.

Well at full price it's not worth it. Try to get as cheap as possible.

Edit: 19 players in 1 server on a friday evening which seems like not a lot, yet a kit for a 20 year old game
Edit 2: 33 players on a sunday evening in 1 server. Some small player bases in multiple server

God I still have the cd at home, after BHD it was the first shooter I played and I played it for hours every time I got the chance, sadly I lost my keys :(

Many of the players you've played with are not on Steam. They are people who have the game on CD and who have played (God knows) thousands and thousands of hours of their lives.
The game is not going to receive a discount because there are hardly any people on Steam who buy it and also because there is a big problem. The Black Hawk Down keys have run out and therefore the game can no longer be purchased here. It can only be done on GOG. This also caused the pack to disappear with this game and the Black Hawk Down saga with the Team Saber expansion.

Aside from this, I'm glad to see someone who is a big fan of this game.
