Storyline

The storyline follows Pvt.Miller, a U.S. marine of Carlson raider in the battle of Peililiu and invasion of Okinawa and Dimitri, a red army soldier who fights from the battle of Stalingrad to the Battle of Berlin.

US Campaign

Pvt. Miller is saved by his squad, including Sgt. Sullivan and Cpl. Roebuck from Japanese captivity. They escape the island after blowing up an ammunition depot. Later, Miller fights in the battle of Peililiu. They call in naval bombardments on enemy bunkers. They eventually break through Japanese lines, but Sgt. Sullivan is killed by a Japanese soldier. Cpl. Roebuck takes over as command, becoming Sgt. Roebuck. They take over Peililiu eventually before assisting in the invasion of Okinawa. They reach the final stand off in Shuri Castle. They reach 3 Japanese soldiers who try to steal their weapons. The player can save Sgt. Roebuck if they act fast, but otherwise he will die. The squad call in missile strikes on the enemy positions and survive the onslaught.

Soviet Campaign

Dimitri's squad is decimated in the battle of Stalingrad. He meets Sgt.Reznov, a wounded sniper who helps him escape. They head through the battlezone where they assassinate General Amsel. A few years later, Reznov, now a submachine gunner finds Dimitri after him being held hostage by Germans. It is here also Chernov, a rifleman is introduced, who shows a more merciful side, refusing to execute soldiers already bleeding to death. They fight through Seelow where Reznov allows Dimitri to ride on the back of a tank, but disallows Chernov from doing so. Further on, they fight in the battle of Berlin. As they battle through an underground metro station, the Nazi's flood the tunnel in an attempt to kill the Soviets and stop their advance. Their adventure culminates in the batle at the Reichstag. They fight through the building. Chernov is killed by a flame-thrower, leaving Dimitri to raise the flag. As he walks down the steps, he is shot by a German soldier (presumably in the neck). Reznov kills the soldier with his machete and helps Dimitri to raise the flag. Dimitri's fate is unknown but he presumably lives.
