Commandos: Strike Force (2006)
Commandos: Strike Force is a 2006 shooter video game made by Pyro Studios.
Commandos: Strike Force abandons the series' overhead tactical view for a first-person perspective, restructuring the classic three-man squad around three playable specialists: a Green Beret for direct combat, a Sniper for long-range overwatch, and a spy for infiltration. The World War II setting and the mission-based structure stay, and the game still rewards switching between operatives to solve each objective. It is a significant departure from what made the series distinct, built for an audience comfortable with Medal of Honor and Call of Duty.

A few thoughts on Commandos: Strike Force
The WWII squad-switching premise has more in common with the original Commandos games than with the first-person shooters it was competing against in 2006. Players who want the authentic series experience should start with Commandos 3: Destination Berlin for the tactical overhead gameplay this entry moved away from.
Teams that fall apart the moment one specialist sits out
Strike Force keeps three specialists working as one unit: the Green Beret, the Sniper, and the Spy, each needed for a different half of every objective. One Piece's crew, Avatar's team of benders, My Hero Academia's squads, and the Turtles all live by the same math, and the heist crews of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 prove the rule works outside war stories too.
One steady operative who never wastes a move
Strike Force leans on its Spy to open doors the Green Beret and Sniper cannot, a single calm operative doing what force alone would fail to. Sherlock Holmes solves cases the same way, through observation over force, and Jack Ryan's tradecraft in Ghost War and Agent Kim Reactivated's fieldwork both trade firepower for composure. The Mandalorian works the same job: quiet, precise, and always finishing what he starts.
