Gameplay

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).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 244 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics aren't too shabby either for being almost nine years old now, similar to or better than Company of Heroes in most aspects.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
15 of 244 sampled reviews raised it
You can choose and control the weapons and vehicles directly or let the AI try to do as you command, It's very action packed, sort of easy on normal but you can increase the difficulty.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 244 sampled reviews raised it
The learning curve is steep, and the game’s commitment to realism often borders on unforgiving.
