Red Zone

The majority of the game consists of air-to-ground attack while flying in the Apache, using its loadout of rockets, guided missiles, and 30 mm cannon to eliminate hostiles from the air, land, and sea. Fuel drums, repair kits, and ammunition depletion are factors to keep in mind, requiring careful planning to keep the chopper airborne and fighting.

In addition to in-chopper combat, there are mission-oriented sequences where the helicopter occupants disembark and perform on-foot missions inside buildings. Each character has a unique set of weapons, and the player can choose from three characters, as long as none have been killed during previous on-foot missions.
