Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 197 sampled reviews raised it
The game's mechanics really lend to a brutal and immersive atmosphere with suppression, morale, and a relatively realistically brutal damage model where it's entirely possible to get put down when you're hit by 1-2 shots.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 197 sampled reviews raised it
Even if the game is quite slow paced, it gets really hectic the longer a game goes and the difficulty is extremely brutal.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 197 sampled reviews raised it
It has many improvements and lots of its own unique stuff to set it apart (and quite obviously, better graphics).
