Call of Duty: WWII frames its combat around the European theater of World War II, opening with the Normandy landings on D-Day and moving through historically iconic locations. Its Campaign centers on a story set amid major battles, pairing the broad wartime setting with the bonds of camaraderie and the harshness of fighting a powerful enemy.
The game divides that premise across three distinct modes. Campaign offers a single-player narrative, while Multiplayer focuses on boots-on-the-ground combat, authentic weapons, and traditional run-and-gun action across World War II-themed locations. Co-Operative takes a different route with an original standalone story, so the game’s appeal is not limited to competitive matches or its central campaign.
Its defining structure is the contrast between a historical campaign, familiar competitive gunplay, and cooperative storytelling.
