Short games; the Campaign is done in some 5 hours. Plays well enough on Win11. After 3-4 missions it'll crash to desktop, but when loading again it continues where you last saved.
The original, and still great 20+ years later. I purchased a new PC just to be able to play this at the time. I was 26 years old when this released. I remember playing Medal Of Honor on the PS1 and I knew right away that I'd like playing this. The word 'like' is an understatement. I loved this game. The sound and graphics were phenomenal at the time. I still enjoy playing this today even with new COD titles and other FPS games on the market. Parts of it remind me of the movie Enemy at the Gates which released just 2 years prior. A favorite movie of mine.
Although the game is very old, the gameplay and the story is phenomenal. Graphics are way outdated and you will see pixels dancing here and there, but once you get used to it, you are completely overtaken by the plot and the thrill. You must play this!
