I wasn't talking about LAN but playing online on public servers. And I wasn't saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.
But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.
My thoughts, too. The body of the guy might be generated, because no human being would draw side pockets on a t-shirt.
