I've played this game since beta testing before release, it is one of those obligatory play thru campaigns on an annual basis for me. The what-if setting, the graphics still hold up well, the game plays great, the story telling, etc. The only weak area IMHO is that the AI for MP is weak and the MP scene isn't what it used to be. Massgate.org has helped with that to varying extents, but peak MP in WIC is long gone. I really cannot think of another game that captures what this one has in a modern-ish warfare setting. Broken Arrow is reminscent, but is also its own thing. WIC came at a good time, and still really holds up to this day. If you haven't played it, and you love any kind of stragegy or RTT-style game, you're missing out, GET IT and enjoy! Even with the shortcomings, I still feel this is a 5/5 for what it offers, how it is offered. And once you patch for modern multicore systems it plays like an absolute dream.
