A great underrated and undervalued game. I played this back when it came out and randomly throughout the years since. It has a very unique play style that gives more modern RTS games a run for their money. Very deserving of a remastered version.

Excellent RTS, sits at the same level as C&C Generals with certain aspects are better and more realistic (air forces implementation, more tactic choices, armored vehicles.

This game is still worth playing if you like classic RTS games with cheesy live-action cut scenes. I actually prefer the Act of War series over C&C: Generals. Direct Action ran fine on my Windows 10 system straight from Steam, no need to mess with configs. Bring this series back!
