≠ Stands apart with strong narrative focus, linear, story-driven structure and ranged combat
The original 2003 shooter that set the series template: squad-based World War II set pieces where scripted allies shout over each other and the war feels like it is happening around you rather than to you alone. The scripting is also its age showing — allied AI mostly exists to point at objectives, and the Volga River section on the hardest difficulty is a notorious wall.
