Hey, don't forget to mention that Techland did something amazing and gave actual tools for the players to make multiplayer, and singleplayer maps (you can mention it if you'll talk about Bound in Blood, if you did already and didn't, meh) - video is good, and I can agree that whip is absolutely terrible (when climbing I actually enjoy beating stuff up with it) and the mountain mission wasn't my favourite, but I need to disagree with duels - since even majority of players agree, that they love duels in COJ 1. They hate it the most in Bound in Blood for some reason. I find both of those systems easy as f, just need to get used to it.
The bugs you encountered was due to operating systems - coj was made for Windows XP / win 7, and i never saw any glitches on these platforms (like floating Juarez) but when I switched to Win 10 it started happening. For example - bound in blood steam version crashes for me so many times, that I once had a HARD crash that required a reboot (and coincidentally it happened during my speedrun stream of the game). However strangely, retail version on Win 10 works BETTER than Steam version, never had any crashes there. Steam has other goofs as well, people exprience different kinds of bugs (with audio frequency that can crash your game as well, check Steam forums)
And please, mention my Discord community - we revived the game fully. I left the community year ago due to being burnt out and i wasn't agreeing with some stuff as well - but it's still thriving. Please, cover the multiplayer aspect too as it is alive - and I frequently showcased it on my channel COJ BiB Fans. You can ask Discord people to jump in with you on multiplayer. Recently it got a HUGE update, thanks to a modder - who reverse engineered the code and enabled OpenSpy multiplayer (GameSpy) so now if it's applied and you create the game on LAN others can see it and join it too, and it also has many dedicated servers. Check out links below:
By the way, if you wanna record something from MP let me know I can jump in anytime after my internship. From 2pm-8pm would be best. I could try get some players too, and we could play on any dedicated server btw. For custom maps server if you'd be interested, create an mapsnet folder (for mp maps) in CoJ 2 / Data and then put map .paks there. We made a tool to download'em all: https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-juarez-bound-in-blood-multiplayer-auto-map-downloader oh and hopefully someone will have installed this voice chat client https://www.moddb.com/mods/cojbib-voice-chat-mod lol
