Call of Duty Heroes Game Description
"Experience the excitement of Call of Duty® like never before. Command an army of legendary heroes, elite soldiers, and devastating drones straight from the Call of Duty franchise in this 3D combat strategy game. Customize your base and train elite forces to dominate your enemies in fierce battles featuring fully controllable heroes and epic Killstreaks, like the first-person chopper gunner. Take command of a small outpost and build it up into an impenetrable base. Then go on the offensive, launching attacks against your enemies. Take direct control of heroes such as Price, Soap, and Harper, wreaking havoc with game-changing Killstreaks. Create deadly alliances with your friends, competing for in-game rewards."

Gameplay
Gameplay differs greatly from previous games due to it being a real time strategy game rather than a first-person shooter. The player takes control of an army of soldiers, called Units, and can also call in Heroes to help, to destroy enemy bases. While Heroes can be controlled to an extent in that they can be moved, Units can't be controlled, except for the fact that the player can choose where to place their units. Also, Heroes get their own "Killstreaks" to use, such as the Predator Missile, Chopper Gunner, and EMP.

Players also must build up their own base with defenses and structures so that it is protected from intruders. Gold and Oil are used to buy these things, as well as other things like a "shield" to protect the player's base for a certain amount of time, usually for days. At the start of playing, the player automatically recieves a shield for their base for free for several hours. However, shields expire automatically if a player plays a PvP match.

PvP
PvP is the multiplayer mode in the game where the player attacks other player's bases. There are two types of battles: Defensive Battles and Offensive Battles. Defensive Battles take place at the player's base. It is when other players attack the player's base. Offensive Battles is when the player attacks another player's base. After the offensive attack, players can go to their log to see who they raided. If damage (buildings and defenses destroyed) is less than a certain percentage, the attacker loses. This is also applicable to Campaign. Every time the player wins, the player will gain Reputation Points. If they lose a defensive or offensive battle, they can lose Reputation Points. If the player loses a defensive battle, he/she will gain a shield (the shield lasts longer if the base is heavily damaged).

Survival Mode
Survival Mode also appears in Call of Duty: Heroes. It is unlocked at Command Center level 4.
