In the single-player campaign, you lead a squad sent to evacuate American VIPs from Shanghai as international tensions escalate. Missions combine infantry combat with large military set pieces.
Multiplayer centers on large battles across expansive maps, where squads fight on foot and use tanks, aircraft, gunboats, and other vehicles. Destructible environments can change the battlefield, including by flooding streets or bringing down buildings.
Assignments provide goals that unlock weapons, while different combat roles and equipment let players shape their loadouts. The game includes multiple multiplayer modes alongside its campaign.
Players often praise the scale of multiplayer battles, the mix of infantry and vehicle combat, destructible maps, and the variety of weapons and maps. Gunplay, sound, and visuals also receive recurring praise, while campaign opinions are more mixed. Some reviewers say active servers remain available, but others report limited server choices by region, difficult matches for newcomers, and problems with anti-cheat or game access.
