On February 21, a new Grand Operation, the Battle of Hannut, was added to Battlefield V. It’s a revamped Panzerstorm map in which players will get to battle through the countryside of Arras. Rush is also coming back to Battlefield V – a 64-player version of the classic Battlefield mode.
The fresh Grand Operation is inspired by the ferocious mechanized melee that took place during World War 2 at the Battle of Hannut, where the Axis prepared to tear through the city of Hannut in Belgium on a blitzkrieg toward the Netherlands.
Rush in the “Battle of Hannut” is played on Arras during day 3 and doubles the traditional number of players to 64. The attacking team’s mission is to plant bombs at enemy objectives before the defenders can stop their detonation or deplete their respawn tickets.
In the “Battle of Hannut”, both Rush veterans and first-timers can expect the tactical play of Rush and moments of large scrambles as a mass of soldiers charge the objective.
