[3] Officers is set in World War II and it allows players to take control of Allied forces which consist of US and British Armies in a fight for control over Western Europe against Germany through its single-player campaign beginning on the beaches of Normandy and ending in Germany itself.

While the game features two additional factions, Germany and the Soviet Union, they do not possess their own story campaigns.

In fact the Soviet Union, while prominently featured in trailer and cover art of the game, only appears as a multiplayer faction.

A multiplayer mode was implemented, but can only be accessed by playing either LAN or by directly connecting via IP to another player.

Criticisms generally revolved around very poor stability with the 2008 release version, lack of dedicated multiplayer servers, map loading times, graphics and experimental composition of systems such as an experience-gain system whereas units die quickly.
