Yes, actually. While you shouldn't fool yourself that it's the genuine article (FSAA is turned way down, textures are low-medium setting, draw distance is decreased and in once case flat-out faked by replacing a mountain in the distance with an obviously flat animated skybox) it's still very playable, and in some cases actually improves on the original (eg the tank in "Onslaught" and "Phase Line Alpha" is now about ten times tougher and has infinite main gun rounds, meaning you don't have to live in fear of sudden, ridiculous damge from RPG troops or abandon it when it inevitably runs out of ammo).

I might post some comparison shots on the talk page when my new PC arrives and I can take shots of the original at full settings without my old PC exploding.
