tight tunnels adorned with ancient calligraphy. Every playstyle can
succeed in this varied and dynamic new map.

seaside city of Dunkirk. This map features a large, open and dangerous
beach area flanked by tight building interiors. Sniping can be effective

every engagement unique in this historic battleground.

sightline on unsuspecting opponents. Explosive action is guaranteed
here, in more ways than one.

of the major blows against the Axis War Machine. Under the cover of
darkness, gather and transmit intel on sensitive enemy ports and then –
