This game once again puts players in the role of Sergeant Matt Baker during Operation Market Garden in the later stages of WWII.

When a command is issued, the player model uses hand signals to issue the command to his squad, just like the previous games in the series. The player also has the ability to take cover behind objects, in a manner similar to Gears of War, which is an integral part of the games strategy.
