Key points

As this game uses the GoldSrc PC engine, vehicle missions included in the console version were omitted altogether, which used a combination of the Quake 3 and Need for Speed engines. In return, level sizes are much larger than the console counterpart and there are added levels not present in the console release. Polygon counts on models fare better on the console release, though texture resolution is higher resolution on PC.
The GameSpy online server browser stopped working on June 30, 2014 due to GameSpy services being shut down. However, updating to the latest unofficial patch will keep the server browser working after this date.[1]
