The game is played from a third-person perspective and centers on infiltration, pursuit, rescue, and sabotage missions. Players use pistols, rifles, sniper weapons, and special tools while crouching, rolling, aiming, and relying on stealth to reduce alert levels. Objectives often involve gathering intelligence, protecting allies, disabling explosives, or escaping hostile zones, with some stages offering multiple routes. Progress is mission-based, and clearing objectives advances the story and unlocks later content, including multiplayer battles.

Stay hidden whenever possible and use silenced weapons to eliminate isolated enemies before they can raise the alarm. In open areas, study patrol patterns first and advance in short, controlled bursts. For tougher enemies, switch to long-range weapons and use cover for peek-and-shoot engagements. Keep an eye on ammo and mission items, since letting alerts spiral often wastes more time than restarting a failed attempt.
