Is it still worth playing?

Relic Entertainment's 2004 real time strategy game for Windows, based on Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000. Play centers on capturing and holding strategic control points with infantry squads, and captured points supply resources and unlock units in a tech tree. You win by holding a set number of control points or destroying all enemy HQ structures. The campaign takes place on the planet Tartarus, where the Blood Ravens, Space Marines under Captain Gabriel Angelos, fight Ork invaders alongside the Imperial Guard. Control points that supply resources and unlock units still tie each fight to where you hold the map today.
