Maybe "unique" would have been better. I did have a lot of fun with this one back in the day though.

I'd youre serious about the multiplayer, you really have to commit to using in-game chats only, which is kind of silly in the era of Discord. A big part of the game was that you needed to capture communication towers and stay in range of them for radio contact (literally, to enable voice chat). When Xbox Live added Party Chat, it made it trivial to cheat this. Or more like, it was extra work to exit the party chat you were probably in just to play the game as intended.
