Final Fronts differs significantly from the
main versions of the game. It features no multiplayer options, instead focusing on a three-part campaign mode, split up into 13 missions, set near the end of
World War II. The player takes on the role of a
U.S. Marine in the Pacific campaign, and both British and American soldiers in the two European campaigns. The Pacific-based campaign sees Private Joe Miller (a reference to
Call of Duty: World at War protagonist C. Miller), alongside Marines Sergeant Roebuck and Private Polonsky, fight their way through
Japanese defenses in
Guadalcanal,
Betio,
Saipan, and
Okinawa. A major difference in this campaign, compared to other releases of
World at War, is the fact that both Roebuck and Polonsky survive the final battle at Okinawa. The European campaigns (which focused on the
western front perspective instead of the
eastern front) have three protagonists: Private Tom Sharpe of the
British 6th Airborne Division, Private Lucas Gibson of the
U.S. 80th Infantry Division, and Gunnery Sergeant Alex McCall who is featured in one tank mission. This set of missions sees the Americans and British move to relieve the city of
Bastogne, and features the 6th Airborne Division capture the town of
Wesel during
Operation Varsity, as well as the Americans taking over
Adolf Hitler's birthplace,
Braunau am Inn in Austria. ==Development==
