It was a good mod for such a small dev team, but it has some bad problems that should have been fixed over the years.

1) First, all of the maps were pretty dark (I can understand Xen being dark, but most all of the Lambda complex was so dark I had to use the Vortigaunt vision most of the time.)

2) All of the maps were extremely poorly built, and had zero optimization anywhere. There was ludicrous detail in almost pitch black areas and not enough detail in areas which were somewhat visible. Some of the larger areas had over 4000 W_Poly and were almost unplayable due to the engine being crippled (it was never designed to render that much.)

3) The AI was pretty buggy and didn't make sense. You could easily circle strafe humans, and they'd take so long to turn around that you could easily kill them before they had a chance to attack.

Also, having some of the Xen Vortigaunts and Grunts being hostile doesn't make sense, there was no plot element to it, and having to figure out which were enemies and which weren't was a pain to say the least.

There were various other tidbit annoyances, but those were the brunt of it. I know it's nearly a decade late and probably won't be fixed, but it's good to get it out there.
