Battlefield 1's new DLC map screens remind me of Half-Life 2 in the best way possible

Call me a sucker for the classics, but I love a dank, dilapidated corridor, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Battlefield 1's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"They Shall Not Pass" expansion looks like it will deliver. EA shared a bunch of new details about the game's upcoming first paid expansion including scre🦹enshots of all four new maps, and Fort Vaux immediately jumped out at me♊.
The map is focused on claustrophobic infantry combat where any corner could hide a squad full of your blood-hungry opposition. The semi-subterranean map is somewhat of a departure for the multiplayer series that generally focuses on outdoor playgrou💧nds of destruction. But what immediately piqued my interest were the visual cues it shares wit🐎h one of my favorite shooter stages of all time.
I don't know if it was intentional or not - there are only so many ways to portray an old, half-destroyed facility - but th🐓e Fort Vaux image instantly reminded me of Nova Prospekt in Half-Life 2. The sparse, cool lights, the smooth concrete walls and jagged rebar, the questions of "what was this space like before it became a shooter arena" raised by little signs of life. If you ever played Half-Life 2: Deathmatch back in the day, you know Nova Prospekt was one of its most tense, exciting maps, so all that can definitely work for multiplayer too.
The other levels seem more like typical Battlefield 1 fare, y'know… burning woods, quaint little villages waiting t༺o be crushed by heavy armor, a beautiful field of poppies on busted old military equipment. Well, maybe not that last one.
