Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
If units had built faster, been able to use patrol patterns (see: Total Annihilation for classic implementation of same) etc. to reduce the amount of micro-time spent moving my units around and if I'd had "heroic" powers when taking control, I'd probably have played a lot more in the FPS mode, which is the main selling-point; as it was, it was largely a RTS with a pretty simple concept, dumb AI and a really neat gimmick that I hope to see in your next game, with better execution.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
You can also host or join an online match with other players, but there usually isn't many people playing so you will probably need to play with a friend.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
The game's performance is a little lousy; it feels like it could use more optimization in spots.
