Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Short version: great price; lots of content for said price; amazing graphics for its time and still decent in 2017; great tactical gameplay, something in between Company of Heroes and a tactical shooter (you can control absolutely everything about your soldiers, squads and vehicles although the latter is a bit more tricky).
