Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
I only ran into one obvious cheater/exploiter during my time playing, which was honestly much better than I expected for an older multiplayer game.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics - really good, every effect, explosion, animation is well detailed and optimized so I can play with good graphics even on a weak PC.

The guns shoot well and the music remains truly fantastic: both the theme track and in-game music.
