Been looking at it. It looks a lot like Planetside 2, though I guess it's fewer players and not p2wI would like to pay for something though. Making it free doesn't seem like the best quality factor.
Don't worry, T:A is pure quality. And naturally it's not completely free, you can buy weapons and other stuff if farming is not your thing

Seems like this game is a really good "pearl" in the genre.
- extremely scary
- very good atmosphere
- heavy story
- many puzzles & adventure elements
- nice gameplay & action events
You are right, a great game, but one of his requirements were:
-Must be multiplayer.

Battlefield 4 will probably be insanely good, although I'd consider Battlefield 3 as the best atm.

Any upsides and downsides?
It's an absolute classic of the FPS genre and deserves a play based on historical value alone. However, the game is actually very balanced to this day, the music is good and the graphics look surprisingly good considering its age. It has a ton of different game mods as per the Unreal Tournament standard and by far the most interesting one in my opinion is Onslaught which is essentially like Battlefield. You can have up to I think 128 players (perhaps more) who play on opposing sides fighting for control of outposts located on the map. After players have control of all of the enemy outposts the energy core at their base becomes vulnerable so the attack is focused there and if it's destroyed they win, rinse and repeat. It sounds simple but it is actually quite complicated and if the teams are evenly matched games can be incredibly exciting. The vehicles are a lot of fun and especially on the really open maps you can reach insane speeds which is a thrill. There are some glitches that haven't been fixed but these have become a part of the game and are actually quite fun. Overall there are very few downsides, it's an amazing game in my opinion.

If I was you, I wouldn't trust screenshots or gameplays and that stuff. A game is meant to be played, and, in Steam, while in sale, costs 3,75€, I think... worth my 45+ hours of fun.
The game is very good, for me is a 'must have'. Trust me, this is one of the few games where you can kill 150+ monsters in 10 rounds (doesn't seem much, but it is when you play)
Also, the players are well balanced (you and your team against mutants, and, the last rounds, are more or less 200+ mutants against six people...
Also, the gore is beautiful. The blood effects and all of that are plain astonishing, at last for me.
