Prepare your stickman patrol

Activision have released two new videos in their nifty new “Map Briefings” series. The videos take a look at upcomingCall of Duty: WWIImultiplayer maps, with some of the game’s developers pointing out some early strategies so you can hit the ground running.

These new videos look at Dunkirk and V2, both of which are coming as part of new DLC packThe War Machine. Dunkirk is, of course, the location of one of the most famous operations of WWII, wherein over 300,000 Allied troops were evacuated from increasing Nazi pressure.

The second map, V2, will see players running round a missile base, which includes the launch pad of a towering V2 rocket. Though it may seem like a perfect sniper vantage point, it’s pretty exposed. Players should also be aware that the rocket’s thrusterscanbe fired, leading to total obliteration for any poor soul dawdling below.
