'''''Operation Body Count''''' is a 1994 [[first-person shooter]] that uses the ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' [[game engine|engine]]. It was developed and published by [[Capstone Software]].

==Plot==
Terrorists have taken over the [[headquarters of the United Nations]] and have seized the government officials in the building. They are now being held as hostages in the top floor of the building by Victor, the leader of the terrorist gang.

As a member of a special Government Assault Team, it is up to the player to command their team and reach the top floor (the 40th level), rescue the hostages and eliminate the terrorist threat by killing Victor.

==Gameplay==
Using a modified ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' engine, the gameplay is very similar to the majority of other clones of the time. The game consists of 40 levels. The first few levels are set in the [[sanitary sewer|sewers]], where the player attempts to make their way up to the [[basement]] of the building.

Upon getting into the UNN building, the player then combats the terrorists. When level 40 is reached, the player comes face-to-face with Victor himself.
