With the game WoTLK Classic Gold complete, Sierra and Massive tainment let us play the opening levels of the single-player campaign, which begins with the Soviet invasion of Seattle. The invasion force, which was hidden in a fleet of civilian container Warcraft, lands in the middle of downtown Seattle where heavily outnumbered National Guardsmen must attempt to delay action in a fight to buy time for civilians to retreat. During this mission, you must command a small force of Bradley-armored personnel carriers as you attempt to scout the waterfront and then proceed to rescue pockets of surrounded guardsmen. Then it's off to secure the parking lot of the Kingdom to open up a landing zone for helicopters and battle your way out of the city. The downtown Seattle in the game is relatively faithful to the real thing.

The second mission is set in the suburbs east of Seattle where you must hold the Soviet invasion at one of the floating bridges that cross Lake Washington. This mission involves a lot of fortifying as you dig in, but you must also race across the suburbs to rescue a general's family, as well as use air strikes and artillery to take out high-value facilities, such as gas stations or electrical plants the Soviets use. Additionally, you'll use a repair vehicle to get some disabled antiaircraft vehicles up and buy WoTLK Gold running. The end of the mission sees the bridge destroyed by air strike to slow the Soviet onslaught.
