Large battles that feel like war movies
You spawn on a squadmate, bullets crack past, and a building across the street loses its wall to a tank shell. Matches run up to 64 players across open maps, with infantry pushing points while aircraft circle and armor rumbles down the road. The draw is that constant chaos: explosions, collapsing cover, and teammates reviving you mid-firefight. Graphics and sound do heavy lifting here, with sharp lighting, detailed landscapes, and a mix of gunfire and blasts that makes every push feel heavy.
Destruction, fortifications, and squad teamwork
Cover never stays cover for long. Artillery and tanks chew buildings into rubble, so you keep moving, rebuild, and rethink your angle. You can build fortifications and supply points, drag a wounded teammate behind a wall, and mark a sector so your squad looks the same way. Classes make teamwork matter: medics heal and revive, support keeps ammo and guns going. Play with three friends in a full squad and the game clicks, with each life lasting a little longer because someone watches your back.
Tanks, planes, and the full arsenal
You can fight on foot, climb into a tank, or take to the sky, and the best moments come when all three collide. Infantry stalks armor with mines and gadgets, tanks duel across broken streets, and planes strafe a point just as your squad rushes it. Vehicles hit hard and die fast, so joyriding ends quickly. This edition hands you the whole kit from the start: every weapon, vehicle, and gadget from launch through Year 2, plus Elites, outfits, weapon skins, and vehicle dressings to stand out without grinding for gear.
War Stories and co-op on the side
When you want quieter, the War Stories campaign follows personal tales from lesser-known corners of World War II, built around resource strain and shifting objectives. Expect open maps with outposts to clear, some stealth, and one standout armor story set around a German tank crew. It doubles as target practice for multiplayer weapons and tanks. Combined Arms offers solo or up-to-four-player missions across three difficulties. The campaign is uneven and short next to the multiplayer, which remains the main reason to stay.
Good to know?
What do you actually do in a match?
Join a large WWII battle, pick a class, and fight for objectives on foot or in vehicles. You capture points, build fortifications, spot enemies, revive teammates, resupply ammo, and call on tanks and planes. Destruction reshapes the map as you play, so a safe wall becomes rubble and forces you to move.
What comes in the Definitive Edition?
The base game plus all gameplay content from launch, Year 1, and Year 2: every weapon, vehicle, and gadget, all Elites, dozens of British and German outfits, Year 2 soldier outfits, weapon skins, vehicle dressings, and Chapter Reward items. Everything gameplay-related is unlocked from the start.
Is there single-player and co-op?
Yes. War Stories is a set of short single-player tales about individual experiences in World War II, mixing open outpost missions with more direct battles. Combined Arms can be played solo or cooperatively with up to four players across three difficulty levels.
How competitive and tough is it for newcomers?
Very. It is a fast, team-focused shooter where experienced players and vehicles punish mistakes quickly. Stick with your squad, play the objective, use cover, and learn one class at a time. Conquest stays the most active mode, which makes finding a full match easier.
