Agree The side issue was probably overlooked since, as a continuation of X-Wing, the players were more interested in the upgraded experience than in which side they were playing.
I was way into x-wing. That game and it’s expansions were more important to me than Tie.
A little note for the fans here, David Wessman, one of the original developers for the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter games, has been working on a new title over the past few years called "In The Black". There's some Mechwarrior 2 talent over there as well. (I could have sworn Larry Holland was involved at some point as well, but it looks like I was mistaken.) Maybe worth a look if you're interesting…
TIE Fighter, for those old enough to remember it, must be the top 3 space shooters ever created. The campaign, the secret objectives, the little touches here and there. I don't remember playing anything close to that game. Freespace 2 was kind of but not quite there (it also is a great game, though!)
The most amazing trick it pulled was how quickly it converted players to the imperial side. I was initially a bit hesitant playing for the bad guys, but by the end of the first campaign I couldn't wait to blast some traitorous drug trading rebel scum!

MW2 had such an outstanding soundtrack...
