There will be four new maps, according to the latest blog post: It must be time for another tease, as DICE has given us another glimpse at what is planned. More detailed descriptions about “They Shall Not Pass” can be found on Battlefield 1’s official page.Details on Battlefield 1's first DLC They Shall Not Pass have slowly been slipping out, from the French Army faction to a look at some of the possible locations being considered for maps. Other highlights of the new expansion pack include a new melee-focused Elite Class, the Trench Raider, who uses the brutal Raider Club and an impressive arsenal of grenades, and a new stationary weapon called the Siege Howitzer, which can be operated by an infantry player and operated through indirect aiming/firing like mortars and artillery in vehicles. Both teams will fight for one flag at a time, leading into the enemy’s HQ control, at which point the game turns into a Rush-style section where telegraph posts need to be attacked or defended. The new Game Mode, “Frontlines,” is a mixture of Conquest and Rush, where players fight for chained control points in a tug-of-war like battle. The four new maps are: “Verdun Heights,” an incendiary uphill battle through a massive forest fire toward the fortresses of Verdun, “Fort Vaux,” a big engagement inside a fort with dark galleries and wet stone corridors, “Soissons,” where The French 10th Army moves to take back Soissons using their planes and powerful Saint Chamond tanks in the early hours of a hot summer day, and “Rupture,” a poppy filled battlefield over a rusty wreck from previous tank battles along the Aisne river.
