Operation: Harsh Doorstop is a first-person military shooter in which you fight as an infantry soldier on a team. Play alone against bots, in co-op, or in multiplayer across battlefields inspired by different periods of warfare.
Battles center on working with squadmates and fighting over objectives. Choose a class and its equipment, communicate with nearby players or through squad and command channels, and establish defensive positions with fortifications and supplies.
The game also serves as a mod-supported sandbox. Steam Workshop content can add maps, factions, weapons, vehicles, modes, and custom scenarios, letting players alter the eras and battles available.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its tactical, team-based battles, the option to play offline against bots, and the variety offered by mods and different warfare eras. Some find the shooting and coordination satisfying, while others say the experience feels unfinished or limited; reviews also differ on the usefulness of bots and the quality of mods.

Taking inspiration from both classic military simulation and mod-friendly sandbox games, OHD creates a unique experience where authentic warfare meets community-driven content creation.
