a very good videogame

The gameplay and sound are what you'd expect - trumpets, lots of mortar bombing, hold "L" to bring gun to iron sight mode, etc. It really doesn't do anything new, but I thought it was an enjoyable experience while it lasted. The sound effects from the guns are great and seem realistic enough. And the voice acting is great, which soldiers shouting over the loud noise of combat to be heard, often stressed and scared, and basically showing plenty of emotion. I will sometimes play this game on a mission where I know there is alot of different things (not just shooting but shooting then driving a tank for instants) to warm up for Halo.
The game mixes things up a lot, having you at various times driving tanks, manning the mounted guns of marine landing craft, shooting down aircraft from antiaircraft guns, and even operating the turret guns and bomb bay doors of a B-24 Liberator. You'll also use binoculars to help spot for artillery or navy ships so you can rain the hurt down on tanks and other hard targets.
