Nothing to be sorry about @chinnyreckon. I just didn't want this thread derailing into yet another "pay to win" upset that is going around.
The issue of this thread/topic needs to be kept alive because imo it is more important than the microtransactions issue. The game can be played without using the purchased Crystals, which is disabled right now anyway. Not being able to play the entire multiplayer experience against bots is my main problem with this game, and why I don't play it much.
Last night I bit the bullet, dug up my old copy of SWBF2 2005 and installed it.
