fun deathmatch gamemode
One of the best TDM games I've ever played. The modded servers just made this game even better.

Most servers are empty, and when I do find a server with players, I sometimes can't join because of custom-map download errors, or the only player is AFK. The multiplayer technically works, but finding an actual active match can be very difficult. I think the store page should have a clear disclaimer that, while multiplayer is available, the current player population may be very low and you may have trouble finding players.
