Is it still worth playing?
Monolith Productions' 2002 first person shooter with stealth elements for Windows, and a sequel to The Operative: No One Lives Forever. You play the spy Cate Archer, once again up against the international criminal organization H.A.R.M., in locations that include Japan, Siberia, Ohio, India, Antarctica and an undersea base. Missions can be done through action, stealth or a mix, and many are open ended, with interconnected levels. Every level can be finished by sneaking, with non lethal options such as a tracking dart launcher and hiding bodies, and gadgets such as a hair spray blowtorch are found on site. Light role playing skills in Health, Armor, Stealth and Search have five levels each. Because guards react to sound, light and bodies, a careful, silent approach and an all out one both still work today.
