-It has a PLETHORA of vehicles, weapons, and units, vastly moreso than any other game and all are rendered into their real-life roles and abilities very realistically.
Difficulty

28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This isn't an easy game though, the learning curve is steep, and it can be brutally unforgiving, but that's exactly what makes every victory so rewarding.
Story

It's a blast with a friend in campaign or conquest coop and you really do need to own it if you have your favorite little "Special interest" in this war that you actually want to see in action someone believably.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound and graphics are really good, while the in game music does get repetitive the sound effects (aside from the British voices) are great.
