Other single-player missions require the player to control larger forces in defense of an area, although even those missions provide the player with an outnumbered force. Part of the single-player game reverts to the Soldiers: Heroes of World War II style of battles, with control of a small squad being put in the hands of the player against a larger enemy.
The game includes enhanced graphics compared to Faces of War, and a more expansive single and multiplayer. At the time of release, it had the largest single-player campaign. Men of War was the first to be put under the Men of War name.
