I love this game, I played it religiously when it was in its prime back in 2003-2006. Just discovered that it had been released on GOG (and therefore eliminated the biggest issue I had with it, namely that there was severe discoloration on Windows Vista and beyond. That said, I know that a LOT of people who buy this will want a Widescreen solution, as well as a Multiplayer solution. A few reviewers have mentioned some options, but I want to mention a one-stop-shop solution to both Widescreen and Multiplayer: Voobly.com The multiplayer is simple, they provide a Lobby, NAT and UPnP services to ease the issues with DirectPlay, ratings, teams/clans and friends lists. For Widescreen, it supports your native resolution, windowed mode (for the menus), multi-monitor support, and stretching (that looks good!) of the command bar. Basic tutorial for Widescreen, you join a Game in the Lobby to get access to game settings, from here there are support links. You can also choose to launch to the Single Player menu, which is the main menu you get if you start the game normally.
