A bit better graphics and modern screen resolution help a good deal for this aging game plus there's more unique dialogue for each unit now which is great.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 221 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign so far has greater mission variety including stealth missions, which was a major hit, is more difficult, and is more engaging and intense compared to the first game.
Gameplay

19 of 221 sampled reviews raised it
While the factions themselves are not drastically different in design, they offer enough variation to keep gameplay from feeling overly repetitive.
Combat

11 of 221 sampled reviews raised it
If you like spy/techno thrillers and airport novels, modern weaponry and urban combat, and a good, balanced, classic RTS on top of that, definitely try Act of War.

7 of 221 sampled reviews raised it
All accompanied by menacing, dark soundtrack and for a single player, a gripping technothriller campaign.
