Details On Battlfield 1’s Turning Tides DLC – New Maps And Weapons Available Now On CTE
Battlefield 1’s third planned DLC Turning Tides is heading on over to the CTE (Community Test Environment) pretty soon before it officially releases for the general public, and it’s all about “land, air, and sea in the amphibious battles of the Great War”. With it comes brand new maps, modes of transportation, weapons, and all sorts of extras that make the game more enjoyable for some.
The all new Operations addition will take place in Gallipoli and the North Sea in 1915 that will have content coming in waves throughout December and January. Players will be introduced to an all new faction to play, which will be the British Empire’s Royal Marines featuring “the characteristic blue uniform of the British Empire’s elite naval troops”. For a general breakdown of what’s coming, take a look at the image below and a detailed one further ahead as well as information on CTE testing:
