In this sequel to the original World War 2 First Person Shooter you will participate in the bloodiest battle in history, the battle for the city of Stalingrad.

If the attacks complete the objective then they everyone then re-spawn and it moves onto the next objective in the series. This continues till the attackers either win and complete all objectives in the series or until the defenders eliminate the enemy team at which point they switch sides.
