A 77 average that undersells it — ask the 205 people who rated it. A shooter with historical, warfare in its DNA — loud, fast, and built for repeat runs. The story is the main course; the multiplayer is the reason it's still installed years later.

About this game

Step into the boots of Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the “All-American” 82nd Airborne Division, and revolutionize the way the war is fought. From a rocky beginning in Sicily to war winning triumphs in the heart of Germany, fight the epic WWII battles that turned America’s first paratroopers into combat legends. Begin each mission from the air and behind enemy lines, then jump immediately into the action. On the ground, tackle objectives in any order across an expansive, free-roaming environment, using a wide variety of upgradeable weapons to your strategic advantage.

Set during the latter half of World War II in Europe, the story follows Private Boyd Travers, a young American paratrooper of the storied 82nd Airborne Division. After training in North Africa, Travers and his fellow soldiers throw themselves into the war from above, parachuting behind enemy lines into some of the conflict's most pivotal campaigns. From the invasion of Sicily and the Italian mainland to the beaches of Normandy, the daring push through the Netherlands, and the final drives into the German heartland, Travers descends into chaos time and again, landing amid flak, gunfire, and shattered towns to strike at the enemy where they least expect it. Rising through the ranks as the fighting grows ever fiercer, he witnesses the courage and sacrifice of the airborne brotherhood firsthand. His journey traces the arc of a citizen soldier hurled into history, fighting to help turn the tide of a war engulfing the world.
