Battlefield 5: New Grand Operation Has Cool Twist that Pleases Players

Battlefield 5 will soon get a new grand operation. The fans are especially looking forward to a special innovation.

This is the highlight of the week at Battlefield 5: On February 21, Battlefield 5 gets a new Grand Operation as part of the second Tides-of-War chapter Lightning Strikes.

This is called “Battle of Hannut” and is inspired by one of the biggest tank battles of the Western campaign. The Wehrmacht tried on their way to the Netherlands by the Belgian city of Hannut push forward.

What are Big Operations? In the form of Grand Operations, Battlefield 5 re-enacts entire military operations spanning several virtual days. The outcome of a day has an influence on the further course of Schalcht.

This is how the Great Operation “Battle of Hannut” ends: In the “Battle of Hannut”, the battles begin on a revised version of the card Tank Storm. This multiplayer map is specially designed for large-scale tank battles.

There you play on the first virtual day the mode air landing, where the attacking team is dropped off by parachute jump over the area of operation and the defensive air defense off.

On Day 2, it goes on with the breakthrough mode, where you should conquer piece by piece sectors or just prevent it.

On the third day, you fight your way through the picturesque landscape of the map Arras. For the first time in Battlefield 5 you can play the popular Rush mode, which now celebrates its return – but here with 64 instead of the usual 32 players.

Rush is one of the most popular formats in the Battlefield series. Read more here: Chapter 2 Lightning Strikes brings back popular mode

On the fourth and final day of this Great Operation, Arras is again fought for victory in Last Stand mode. Here each player has only one life and limited ammo. You have to collect equipment on the battlefield.

The developers have revealed this twist: In a conversation on Twitter, the Battlefield Level designer Matt Wagner has a cool detail blabbed, which currently provides a lot of joy for many fans.

So many fans would have asked for more night scenarios at Battlefield 5 and with “Battle of Hannut” now comes another one.

Because for air landing, the developers have let it on the tank storm card night. The battles will play so the darkness. Wagner emphasizes that it really should be very dark.

In the meantime, the first screenshots have appeared on Reddit, showing excerpts of the night version of Panzersturm.

This is how the fans react: Many fans have heard this message with great joy. Many have wished for more battles at night, but the night version of the Narvik card was too bright for many fans.

The more you are now happy about the announcement that it should now be really dark. The first pictures make the fans confident.

This is how you can play Rush outside of the Grand Operation: The regular 32 player Rush format will be available on 7th March as a time-limited stand-alone game on the following maps:

• Bent steel
• Narvik
•  destruction

Before and after, however, Rush will only play in the Battle of Hannut.

Battlefield 5 – Big Operation “Battle Of Hannut” Comes With Rush Mode Today

The next Grand Operation of Battlefield 5 will be released today. In “The Battle of Hannut” the classic rush mode is making its comeback.

EA has the next big operation of Battlefield 5 imagined: Starting today, the February 21, you can to “participate in the Battle of Hannut.” Among other things, there is a reunion with the classic rush mode.

The operation is based on the eponymous Battle of World War II, in which the Axis forces with their Blitzkriegtaktik moved on the way to the Netherlands by Hannut in Belgium. The Battle of Hannut spans three to four days and plays on Maps Panzerstorm and Arras.

Overview of Battlefield 5: The Battle of Hannut

• Map: Panzerstorm
• Mode: Airborne

Day 2

• Map: Panzerstorm
• Mode: Breakthrough

Day 3

• Map: Arras
• Mode: 64-player rush

Day 4 (in case of a tie)

Rush does not take place here with the usual 32 players, but with twice the number: Whole 64 players beat themselves here for the victory. The attackers have to put bombs in this mode and the defenders have the task of defusing the explosives or to completely exhaust the respawn tickets of their enemies.

As of March 7, there will also be Classic Rush mode with 32 players as a time-limited event on the “Bent Steel”, “Narvik” and “Destruction” maps. Outside of this event, however, Rush is only allowed to play in The Battle of Hannut on the Panzerstorm card.

The origin of the rush mode

Rush comes from Battlefield: Bad Company and was still called “Gold Rush” here. For the release of the game that was its only game mode. Only with the successor Battlefield: Bad Company 2 changed the name of the mode. It exists since then in most parts of the series.

Unlike most other game modes, the special feature is that Rush has asymmetric elements. The two teams do not fight under the same conditions but have to fulfill different goals.

Panzerstorm with an update of Lightning Strikes

The “Panzerstorm” map originally appeared with the Overture update. However, in Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes, the Battlefield 5 developer rewrote them at the end of January with extra coverage, anti-tank, and a larger maximum height for airplanes to make battles more exciting.

EA reworked Battlefield 5’s Panzerstorm card at the end of January.

In the same update, the Germans also got a new tank with the Sturmgeschütz IV. He can not turn his main cannon separately from the rest of the tank. To make up for that, however, he is a smaller target for his enemies.

Battlefield 5 will continue to evolve in the future. Only a few days ago, the developer promised to add a second weapon class for the Medic. The only had access to the MP and were therefore dependent on the melee. And also in technology changes a lot. So the team expanded the options of the multiplayer shooter with the new DLSS anti-aliasing, a feature of Nvidia’s RTX cards.
