26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite that, it has low FPS and stuttering, graphics are good, but not amazing for this performance.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is particularly impressive: gunfire, artillery, radio chatter, and vehicles create a dense atmosphere that truly makes you feel like you are in the middle of a battlefield.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's not an AAA game and has some popularity issues, but when the matches really get going, it is certainly the best tactical WWII multiplayer game on the market at the moment.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It features a punishing learning curve, but the moment you find a team that communicates, no other shooter on the market can match this experience.
