First of all: ezrydyr is a total and complete moron. Punkbuster is a long-used tool to curb cheating. This is done by checking the size and dates of certain files to ensure they have not been changed for cheating. It is considered "invasive" because the program has to actually check the files on your hard drive and compare them to a database of known information to find changes. Nothing is actually REPORTED except when a cheat is found. It is also not spyware because they are very up-front with what it does and what information they are looking for. Now on to the game: Gameplay: I scored this game low for one simple reason: I hate Counter Strike, and AA is nothing but a Counter Strike remake. So, take it with a grain of salt. If you love CS, you will love AA. Graphics: Nice, but not fantastic. A lot of generic textures, but the map makeups are interesting. Sound: Much more realistic than other shooters, probably recorded from actual weapons. Some of the fine points of the weapon sounds is lost, but that is expected when you record gun fire. Value: Its free, its fairly stable, and with the new patch the net code is much more optimized. Try it! Thank you
