Shamrock and Awe

We are days away from St Patrick’s Day, and tipping their hat at the holiday, Sledgehammer Games is getting ready to release its yearly event in its honor. Operation Shamrock and Awe will bring new content and competitions for the fans of Call of Duty: WWII to take part in. To make the announcement, the team released a Twitter post with a trailer for event:

With the patch being live now for PlayStation 4,  Xbox One, and PC players, comes some new features for FPS fans to do a little jig about. One of these items is a new map called Shipment 1994, which fans of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will recognize. Players will also find two new weapons that can be added to the inventory with the Shamrock and Awe event: the M-38 submachine gun and the MG-81 light machine gun.
