Free-for-all or team up for the multiplayer mayhem this genre was made for.</li><li>Play it your way - Fire simultaneously for chaotic all-at-once barrages, or go sequential and classic turn-based for the methodical duel. The match plays how you want it to.</li><li>A real arsenal - Eleven distinct weapons drawn from Cold War-era ordnance and beyond: tactical missiles, bunker busters, bouncing bombs, cluster munitions, EMPs, mortars, cannons, the never-fires-the-same-way Crazy Ivan, and of course, nukes... and one that hits harder still. Fire single shots or unleash cinematic salvos that fill the sky with rocket trails.</li><li>Offense beyond the warhead - Pop chaff over an enemy to scramble their defenses while your real barrage closes in, or send in orbiting drones to strafe with guns and missiles.</li><li>Buy your defenses - It's not all offense. Invest in CIWS, point defense, flak to swat down drones, and permanent bunkers. Intercept incoming fire before it lands.</li><li>Play together, any setup - Everyone jumps in from their own PC over Steam, in VR or on a monitor, and any flatscreen player can pass the controller to friends on the couch beside them. Up to 8 players, mixed however you like - headsets, monitors, and hotseat all in one match.</li><li>8 distinct battlefields - Rolling grasslands, rocky foothills, alpine knife-edge mountains, wind-blown dunes, a tropical island, low-ceilinged caverns that cap your firing arc, a lava-bleeding volcano, and fortress pillars floating above an endless cloud sea where you can't see where your misses land. Each one rewrites the fight.</li><li>A battlefield that remembers - Shots leave craters across the terrain - track your fire, read the aftermath. The battlefield wears your war as it goes.</li><li>Read the battlefield - Open maps give clean line-of-sight; mountains and caverns force you to master arc and power. Dial in map size, wind strength, and wind behavior (steady, breezy, or chaotic) to set your challenge.</li><li>Day / Night / NVG - Fight under a blazing sun, a starlit sky, or through the green wash of night vision.</li><li>Campaign mode - Climb from boot camp to five-star Battlefield Commander, learning every tool in the arsenal and earning medals along the way.</li><li>Ten tiers of AI - From clueless recruit to terrifyingly precise, with AI that scales aim, weapon IQ, and tactics. Train up, then test yourself.</li><li>Deep stats - Service records, war-room analytics, performance trends, per-weapon breakdowns, win streaks, and net war-chest profit. Track every shot.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >A NOTE ON CROSSPLAY SETUPS</h2>Each VR player needs their own PC - a headset can't also run a separate flatscreen seat at the same time. A single flatscreen PC, on the other hand, can host any number of pass-and-play hotseat players, up to the 8-player match cap. Check the System Requirements before you plan game night.
