Like its real-life counterpart, the LCVP's primary task is simple: get G.I.s on shore without getting completely soaked. The Higgins Boat first appeared in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, transporting the 2nd Ranger Battalion and 29th Infantry Division onto Omaha Beach, including American infantrymen Jimmy Patterson and Mike Powell. Although they are effective, their endurance and maneuverability does not show, especially in comparison to newer LVTs. They are easy prey for 88mm cannons on the shore and coastal obstructions. Further, they cannot be taken on shore, limiting the soldier in terms of protection.

Manned by two coxswains with the potential for an additional machine gunner, the LCVP is adequately armed, although armed variants were not armed during Operation Overlord and the Invasion of Guadalcanal.
