Yes, yes...it's 7 years old...but it was a classic!

-Good story, decent graphics, deformable terrain.
-You can build bridges over rivers, level out areas, build tunnels, etc.
-All units are designed from a bunch of different parts, which YOU research and pick. Chassis, mounted weapons/defenses, etc.; you can also put defenses on buildings.
-Extensive tech tree to research. Tech/Units transfer throughout the campaign; you have to move things to/from levels by large transport ships.
-Very unique sides. Although the expansions strayed a bit, the original game had nothing in common about the sides; weaponry, defenses, and tactics were all different.

The LC(Lunar Corporation) is the neatest side IMHO, since they drop everything in from orbit. The other sides actually build stuff though...
