Fell wrote an article about it, although it was more of an editorial than a review.

It was pretty good, but my interest in it didn't last long enough for them to get the servers optimized. I hear the game runs really well in multiplayer now, and it's still free so give it a shot.

Its actualy still pretty popular, so much so it's coming to consoles soon.  It's condiered by many to be in the top 10 for multi-player FPS games, and considered to be one of the more accurate FPSs avaliable.  Just a warrning though, if you like to curse, insult and ack like total morons while playing FPS games then do not play on any of the govements servers, the have sys tech look at there servers sometimes and if they seeing you do so you'll get permantly banned (at least that's how it was a year ago).

I dont curse in online games, heck I barely talk, but the free aspect of a good FPS is intriguing.

I would go so far as to say it's in the top 5 multiplayer FPS games. It's a surprisingly narrow field when you look at what people actually play.

I said top 10,  both IGN, gamespy and gamespot had it in theres when it first came out (it is about a year and a half old now).
