About This Game

The Call of Duty series returns with a fresh perspective on warfare, powered by the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine to deliver the most gritty and chaotic WWII combat ever seen. Players must unite to survive the harrowing final battles that brought down the Axis powers on both European and Pacific fronts. This title provides an uncensored experience with unique enemies and varied combat, featuring Kamikaze fighters, ambushes, Banzai charges, and clever cover tactics, alongside explosive action in a new four-player cooperative campaign. The addictive competitive multiplayer is upgraded with new infantry and vehicle-based action, a higher level cap, more weapons, and numerous new Perks, maps, and challenges. Face ruthless enemies using advanced tactics to defend their homelands, from swamp ambushes and snipers in trees to fearless Kamikaze attacks. Play as a U.S. Marine and Russian conscript across various Pacific and European locations against the fearless Imperial Japanese and elite German soldiers in epic, adrenaline-fueled missions involving infantry, vehicles, and airborne units. For the first time in the franchise, the game introduces co-op play, bringing meaning to "No One Fights Alone" with up to four players online. Campaign co-op includes challenges, rankings, and stats for deeper replayability, plus Competitive Co-Op to determine the best player on the team. The innovative class-based multiplayer continues with the addition of vehicle combat like tanks, enhancing the successful Call of Duty 4 formula. Persistent stats, player rankings, upgradeable weapons, squad-based gameplay, and Perks are all further improved. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the game delivers jaw-dropping visuals with highly-detailed characters, self-shadowing, environmental lighting, and special effects, while physics-enabled battlefields and realistic fire spread immerse players in the dynamic combat.
