What it is
This title is a shooter played from a first-person viewpoint and set amid the Second World War. Across the story mode, players control a member of a U.S. foot-soldier unit pushing across Europe, beginning with the Normandy beach assault, through fierce, grounded firefights against opposing troops that show bleeding, injuries, and bodies torn apart by blasts. Rather than softening the period, the narrative portrays crimes committed by the Nazis, includes a death camp, and shows captives being put to death; dialogue contains harsh language, and troops appear using tobacco and alcohol. A competitive online component matches people with unknown opponents and permits speaking and typing to one another, while a distinct cooperative Nazi Zombies experience layers in a grim, bloody scare-driven fight with reanimated corpses. Buyers may spend extra on chance-based bundles of appearance-only items.
How it's framed
The title casts itself as a heightened, true-to-life account of combat, placing the person at the controls in the role of a fighter opposing the Axis powers. Killing hostile forces stands as the central action the game rewards, and its story mode treats the conflict's cruelties as bleak moments from the past that the player observes instead of celebrating.
