Things I Missed:

+ Units on higher ground gain a height advantage, though it's not clear exactly what this advantage is.
+ Veterancy gives combat bonuses, not just a named unit. Not sure if I made this clear enough in the review.
+ The two factions play differently enough to keeps things interesting. The Coalition are your standard all-rounders and the Gaalsien are more aggressive.
+ The ambient comms chatter is fantastically immersive.
+ The game doesn't crash or slow down when you ALT+TAB (a personal pet peeve of mine)

- Performance is good at the beginning of a match (60fps, 1080p Ultra), but stutters and chugs heavily when the FX ramp up. Lowering settings does not improve performance much for me (GTX 670, i5-4670 @ 3.4GHz, 8GB RAM).
