As perhaps one of the only constants in the gaming industry alongside the heralding of a new schedule of Fall gaming releases with Madden, this year’s Call of Duty aims to scale things back a century from the previous tours of war. Sledgehammer Games and Glen Schofield’s team have returned to a simpler time, when atrocities and harrowing acts of heroism were committed by soldiers face to face. Taking place in ‘The Big One,’ players return to boots on the ground with the three core tenets that drive this year’s Call of Duty: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies.

Call of Duty WWII’s campaign features all of the grit and realism that Spielberg’s 2001 war drama, Band of Brothers, introduced to sensationalize the war efforts of The Second Front. As a scrappy young Texan named Private “Red” Daniels, this all-American gives players his sight and interpretation of the events from D-Day all the way through overtaking the last bridge standing across the Rhine. The usual bombastic set pieces that Call of Duty campaigns are known for are fully present, offering a little bit of everything from vehicle driving and combat sequences, stealth missions, and surviving against waves of assaulting Germans, my least favorite type of mission to play through on Veteran difficulty.
