Few things beat sitting in a tank while your teammates scramble across the road and enemy helicopters circle somewhere above. The AI can be hilariously incompetent, but that makes the fights feel less scripted. I've seen entire squads disappear in seconds, followed by one stubborn soldier somehow holding a position on his own.
The full game is already unlocked in this version, so there's plenty to mess around with, from different weapons to large-scale battles and vehicles. What sticks with me is the odd quiet after the fighting settles down. The flags are captured, but aircraft are still passing overhead and the ground is covered in marks from the battle. It feels like arriving somewhere just after everyone has left.
