Just a small observation about the following titles on the 'bad' list,
probably applies to others
Battlefield 1942 Digital Illusions/EA Games 2002 88.72 Bronze Gold Silver
Battlefield 2 Digital Illusions/EA Games 2005 89.99 Bronze Gold
Battlefield 2142 EA DICE/EA Games 2006 79.96 Bronze Gold
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Infinity
Ward/Activision 2007 92.37 Bronze Gold Platinum Silver
These games ordinarily work quite well or flawlessly, but use
PunkBuster anti-cheat software for most multiplayer servers, which
will never work in Wine legitimately, so it might not be entirely
correct to say Wine handles them poorly when there is nothing it can
do about the situation when the makers of the software intend it to
only be binary compatible with genuine Windows.
Otherwise, that's interesting data.
