    Ummm, why are you posting a free game as a deal 5 years after its release?

  • Regardless if it was always free, its still one of many games that I wish had more maps and players in server.

    "Don't know how long this has been or will be free for."

    I'm sorry but a google search and quick glance at the wikipedia article took less than a minute to verify this has been free since release, 5 years ago.

    EDIT: Removed my negative vote since even though the OP was stupid it doesn't fall under the guidelines for negative voting.

    I actually remember seeing this game ages ago and wanted to play it and then totally forgot. Thanks for the reminder.
