Cool! They've probably broke the 3rd party anti-cheat mod like they did with 3,
so I'll wait until that gets fixed or replaced, which may be never. I also have to
get through my current line up of games I want to play.

the second game. User reviews for the second game were very negative
at the time, so I gave that game a miss (I think a lot of the problems
people had with the game have since been fixed). Still, I've never
been enough of a fan of the franchise to make me want to go and get
the second game (especially since it's still rocking a $40USD price on
Steam. All bets are off once it gets down to single digits, of course
;-).
Still, even if I had this game in my possession, the news wouldn't
excite me too much. The online aspects of the game were always the
least appealing bit to me, especially the concept of people invading
my campaign, whether to be helpful or harmful. It was always a feature
I disabled first-thing when playing the other games in the franchise.
Nonetheless, I can't help but view the news favorably, because even as
much as I dislike and don't need those servers, the fact that they are
still being kept functional means that the game is still being kept
'alive'; there's still an audience, and there's still development (at
least in the form of compatibility with modern systems). Too often
older games are left forgotten, and getting them to run on newer
hardware can be a struggle that the hapless gamer has to work on
alone.
So hurrah, the servers are back up! I still won't be making use of
them.
(Well, obviously, since I don't own the game. But even if I did. :-)
