Haven't purchased it, read a lot of the reviews; I used to mod the game back in the day, Senior Member on the Relic forums, so here's the thing that immediately moved it to an "Absolutely Not" for me, and you need to be aware of if you're thinking of buying the game;

The online play apparently is fixed to the final expansion balance/roster sheet of Soulstorm. And SS was a famously TERRIBLE expansion. In particular, there were appalling balance issues, especially with flying vehicles that broke all terrain and map layout gameplay that made the series so great by just flying straight over it; But the new factions were themselves poorly designed too, and didn't ever receive much of a repass except to fix the game breaking bugs one of them went live with.

It was such a gameplay wrecking expansion that the community largely went back and stuck with Dark Crusade for online play; the outside developers of SS, Iron Lore quickly abandoned it, and its reputation was so poor that Relic made a joke somewhere in later lore about the SS campaign (in universe) being a complete disaster.

The single player content was tacky as well; the "We Shall Take Their Metal BAWXES" and "SIIINDRRIIIII!" memes are from the half assed Soulstorm campaign too. But at least you can play the rest of the content as designed for the rosters each expansion had, apparently. If you're just after single player game, or are new to the series, there's a lot of great gameplay to be found (DoW, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade) right up until you get to the mountain-skipping nonsense that was Soulstorm, and its Multiple Simultaneous Multiple Multiple BAWXES!

From what I am reading, match making is bad anyway, and partying up actually limits you to games that have a team of that size; One of the most popular casual pick up games online were 4v4 mass fights... which you can't apparently connect too if your party is only of 2 people. Free for All matches? Nope, a team size of 2 won't fit onto a map with teams of 1 player... All those great replays from 20 years ago I sometimes still watch? Not possible or even stable as it currently is, it seems. Is there 1v1 Ranked play still? I dread to think what that is like with SS's notoriously awful gameplay...

But why would you want to even try, when gameplay has been reduced down to beelining straight to flying vehicles, and then rushing in a straight line over all the terrain and right into the enemies base? No thanks!

Modding is broken too, from what I'm reading; I'm decades out of the scene and wont be purchasing as mentioned, but if my suspicions are correct, I don't think you'll be able to easily fix backwards compatibility, at least for online play if it's forcing a Soulstorm code set. Total conversion mods might work, and have a still active community who might try and re-adapt it, but most of our base mapping work was set up in zip files assuming the standardised file structures back then, which have also been changed... I can't be sure, but it sounds like not enough care has been taken to ensure you can just extract into the AppData folder where it expects content now, and some mods are broken because assets have gone missing. Dedicated fans will work this out in time, and write guides for how to find the files you need to manually move, but for now, it sounds messy.

So... even if you love the game, don't be a blind fanatic. Wait for the day one parasocial Whale reviews to peter out and see what the actual informed, reasonable consensus on what the content REALLY is like; in particular keep an eye out on whether they let you host online matches for the expansion set people WANT to play.
