Man, really wish these problems didn't come up, as they are unforgivable, because until these points, I had nothing but loving things to say about this game, especially considering what a revolution it was in gaming.ħ0% PCA classic that doesn't stand the test of time, unless you've got a strafing/map mod. The second is even worse however, when I came to a level where there are 2 secret walls you NEED to activate to continue, and if you do them in the wrong order, YOU HAVE TO START THE ENTIRE CHAPTER OVER OR RELOAD A SAVE!! This is made only worse by the fact that this was one of the final missions of the Chapter, so even knowing about the obtuse corner-piece secret needed that I mentioned above, I would need a good 90 minutes to get here again!
