First, this game won't work right out of the box, you need to install ET Legacy, not only does it revive the master server list, but it also brings many QoL improvements like a proper Alt+Tab command (the original famously didn't have such a thing), higher resolution and framerate support, better audio and many more MUCH needed improvements.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
all weapons and classes are balanced, except adrenaline (but many servers either remove it or limit its use)
Graphics

16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the visuals are modest by modern standards, the clarity of design supports competitive play.
