H-Hour: World's Elite (H-Hour) is a tactical, team-based military shooter in which cooperation among players is required for success. The game uses a third person perspective to enhance the player's situational awareness. Players can see where they are in relation to the world.

This battlefield perspective allows for more strategic game play. A run and gun lone wolf approach very quickly results in death; only by cooperating with the team can a player hope to achieve victory. The design philosophy is simple: bullets are lethal and any character not working with their teammates will not last long, just as it is in the real world.
