Spearhead 1944 places you in the boots of the soldiers fighting to break out from a tenuous foothold in the hellish maze of the bocage to liberate occupied Normandy. Play your way, with a wide array of iconic weapons and vehicles. Join the fight for liberation, or hold your ground across two immersive terrains, each representing real-world landscapes based on inland Normandy and Mortain. Command a tank, light up your flamethrower, dial in your sniper scope, or grab your medical supplies. Dive into a sprawling new co-op campaign for up to 24 players inspired by Operation Cobra. Or take the fight to the enemy across both terrains with multiplayer game modes, and several engaging single-player and co-op scenarios. Experience commanding an M8 LAC, covert operations as the French Resistance or explore what the CDLC has to offer in the US and German faction showcases.
