1 No really, Enemy Unknown was awful. Yes not as awful as some other versions of the game ( eg UFO: Extraterrestrials) , but still. Broken mechanics like some Aliens not taking action until you get close enough or shoot them comes to mind, or annoying combat cutscenes. Cover being calculated super-weird/unintuitive and visual models not properly matching the models used for hit/miss chances is a big issue as well. All in all the game was probably just dumbed down too much, perhaps exactly because it is commercial though. 1 No really, Enemy Unknown was awful.

3 Most of the games I play do seem to be commercial ones, so all this is probably not because of a strict preference for open source games that I have. 3 Most of the games I play do seem to be commercial ones, so all this is probably not because of a strict preference for open source games that I have.
