Descent 3 is like one of the best ever games I've ever played. It was revolutionary at its time, the SP very well planned. Myself, I haven't played MP so I can't really comment on that.
Anyway, like Mongoose said, $6 for the game there is no way you can lose.

All of Descent's learning curves were steep.  Complex Maps in old school FPSes were like getting lost in New York, while complex maps in Descent were like getting lost in the small intestine.

except the small intestines has no intersections there's only one path, one way in, one way out. XD

But I get your point lol.

Yeah, but I challenge you to know which way is in and which way is out once you're in them

Easy.  You go in one side, and never let yourself get turned around.

I always particularly enjoyed D3's CTF mode, since it could get ridiculously fluid and fast-paced with two well-balanced teams.  The sadly-underplayed Assault mode was a lot of fun, too, as were one or two of the user-created gametype mods floating around (yay Instareap!)

One of the best things about D3's CTF was that it had a 4 team variant, and that mode actually used to be played often in the Quadsomniac map back then. That added an extra strategic element to it, since you could rapidly increase your score by collecting multiple flags at once.

My favorite game type was Monsterball. There were some balancing issues with it, but it was something truly unique that I haven't seen anything like in any other game.

As for Assault, that is the mode from UT. You probably mean Entropy.

All this talk of Descent makes me want to get the HLP multiplayer sessions going again at some point. I was actually watching several demos of our old D2 games just last month. I probably won't have time for it until the summer though.

Ignore the sea of digesting food and cilia.

I'd do it.

where the commercials I remember seeing on TV that got me interested in the game, indecently that game led me to freespace, and we all know how big of an impact that had on my life.

That's kind of sad, since I've never even played UT. (In my defense, though, there was a user-created mod called Assault that involved destroying reactor structures in enemy bases.) Yes, I did mean Entropy.
