In a new feature for the Call of Duty series, close-quarters battle mechanics bring you face-to-face with your enemy....this is gripping stuff!!

Fight hand-to-hand, disarm traps, improvise explosive devices, and execute a host of other battlefield challenges that require cunning and swift reflexes from you!

Environmental physics let you destroy enemies' soft cover hideouts, such as wooden walls, barrels and crates-forcing your foes out in the open. But watch out-they can eliminate your protection as well.

Flank your opponent, or hit him head on. Next-generations level design provides multiple attack routes that let you decide how to confront the enemy.

Execute parachute drops, armoured assaults or SAS commando raids. Riddle battlefields with tank shells and explosives. Drive tanks to topple barricades and invade enemy emplacements.

The story of the Normandy Breakout Campaign, the Allies' valiant campaign to drive Hitler's most elite troops out of western France, across the Rhine, and back to Berlin.

Play as American and Canadian infantry, British Special Forces, and Polish armoured division troops.
