The game uses a first-person perspective and progresses through a stage-based campaign. Players move, aim, and fire with the DS controls, using iron sights for better precision and switching between rifles, sidearms, and explosives as missions demand. Some stages include vehicle sequences or turret sections, requiring target prioritization and steady fire control. Objectives usually involve assaulting positions, defending areas, escorting allies, or eliminating enemy forces as the story advances.

Commanders and Field Handlers

Support characters who deliver orders, updates, and mission objectives over radio communications.

Use iron sights for medium-range engagements and avoid prolonged exposed automatic fire, especially given the DS control scheme. Before pushing into new areas, identify enemy spawn points and elevated firing positions, then remove machine gunners and explosive threats first. In vehicle missions, prioritize rocket troops and fixed emplacements. Conserve ammunition by switching to sidearms when appropriate and use cover peeking to reduce damage taken.
