Use to play it and the epxansions all the time when they originally came out. Recently reinstalled to play the campaigns again and it doesn't work. Whatever they've done for the Anniversary Edition has broken the game

I beat it once back in the "Games for Windows" days, hopped back in to get some cheevos and trading cards. I forgot how much they changed the gameplay between 1 and 2. I miss base building. Glad to see 'nids, though.

Even after all these years the game still suffers from graphic issues. No matter what I do I cannot play the game on medium, high or ultra settings at all. Despite having more than the required specs to run the game.
