Ten years after a devastating event reshapes the United States and global power, you fight as Logan, a member of the Ghosts, an elite special operations unit. The campaign follows their struggle against a technologically superior power in a changed world.
Campaign missions mix first-person combat with stealth, infiltration, and varied settings and objectives. Multiplayer matches let you customize a soldier’s appearance and gender, use weapons and killstreaks, and adapt as interactive maps change during play.
Squads lets you take customized, leveled soldiers into solo or cooperative battles, with their loadouts affecting their AI behavior. Extinction is a solo or co-op mode built around advancing through areas, destroying alien hives, and defending a drill; its classes and equipment support different roles.

Extinction is also a recurring favorite, especially for its co-op play. Multiplayer receives more criticism: reviewers often describe it as inactive, and some complain that its maps encourage camping.
