Enlist In Divisions
Among other changes, Call of Duty: WWII switches up Create-A-Class with Divisions. You'll be able to see more during the beta in August, but for now, click ahead to get a look at the kinds of weapons and loadouts you'll have access to in the World War II-themed multiplayer. (Note: These are based a on pre-release build of the game, so we'll keep you posted if things change.)
There are five Divisions to choose from: Infantry, Expeditionary, Armored, Airborne, and Mountain. Each has different weapon options; for example, the basic Infantry loadouts can include the M1 Garand or the BAR. Your progression is tied to your chosen Division and you level up certain abilities within each, but you can also switch at any time.
The game's multiplayer introduces a new mode called War that's similar to Battlefield 1's Operations mode. It features narrative-driven, objective-based combat inspired by real WWII battles and is more about strategy than other Call of Duty modes. Of course, Team Deathmatch, Domination, and other popular multiplayer game types are returning.

Infantry
The Infantry Division is your standard soldier. With the M1 Garand, you also have a bayonet charge that's mapped to R3 on PS4, and it's a handy melee attack in a pinch. In addition to the M1 Garand, we know that Infantry also have access to the BAR.

Expeditionary
Expeditionary is sort of like a bombastic scout class and has some sweet shotgun perks. In addition to the Winchester 1897, we also saw a toggle action for this class.
Expeditionary
Airborne
If you want to get a little tactical, Airborne is a good choice. It features this SMG, the M1928, the MP-40, and smoke grenades, among other weapons.

Armored
Armored is exactly as it sounds: it's a heavy class. This one gets you access to a Bazooka and anti-tank grenades. Pictured is the Lewis light machine gun, and you can also get an MG-15.

Mountain is your long-range sniper class. In addition to the M1903, you can also use the KAR98K.
