These are exciting times here at Dice! We\u2019ve just released our reimagining of one of the most (oh, all right, the most) classic map in Battlefield history: Wake Island. Battlefield veterans will remember this Pacific battleground from Battlefield 1942 <\/em>and it\u2019s seen a few incarnations in other titles, too.<\/p>\n

The design of this horseshoe-shaped classic has treated us to many frantic multiplayer matches throughout the years. Now, with the help of modern tech, we\u2019ve been able to design Wake Island as we\u2019ve always imagined it. Wake Island 2019 is larger, built for better pacing, and supports new Battlefield V <\/em>features like Fortifications.<\/p>\n

Wake Island features
\nfights across land, air, and sea, but we thought we\u2019d look closer at infantry
\ncombat specifically in this post. Here are a few pointers from our Level
\nDesigner Shashank Uchil on how to best play the four classes \u2013 Assault,
\nSupport, Medic, and Recon \u2013 when attacking or defending as the U.S. or Japan in
\nthis lush but hostile environment.  <\/p>\n

Playing Assault on Wake Island<\/strong><\/p>\n

If left unchecked, enemy vehicles could
\nquickly turn the tide of the battle of Wake Island. You don\u2019t want that to
\nhappen! If you\u2019re playing as Assault, prioritize taking out the numerous tanks
\nand planes. Use gadgets like the Panzerfaust, AT Mines, and Sticky Dynamite to
\nbring down tanks and stationary weapons like the AA Guns to rid the skies of
\naircraft.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Battlefield<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Playing Support on Wake Island<\/strong><\/p>\n

Supports should prioritize building
\nFortifications to keep the enemy side\u2019s tanks and transport vehicles in check.
\nThis is also a great class for holding the opposing team back using the
\ntrenches found across the map. Lay down suppressive fire with the mighty
\nmachine guns and you will be a great asset to your squad and team.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Battlefield<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Playing Medic on Wake Island<\/strong><\/p>\n

Naturally, keeping teammates alive and well is
\nkey to playing Medic, especially on such an intense map as this. Keep laying
\ndown medpacks and look for (safe) revive opportunities. Furthermore, Medics
\nwould be advised to switch between long-range and short-range weapons based on
\nwhere they are. When moving between flags, it\u2019s wise to swap to a long-range
\nweapon, but while close to a control point and the close-quarter combat ranges
\nfound by it, choose a high rate-of-fire weapon.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Battlefield<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Playing Recon on Wake Island<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recons have one true love: the high ground!
\nPlaying as this class, you will find some form of tower near every flag on Wake
\nIsland. You can also climb the hotel, hangar, air tower, and fuel tanks to get
\na great view of the map. Be careful though \u2013 these locations are a primary
\ntarget for other players, too.<\/p>\n

There you have it! Whatever class you choose,
\nwe hope you have fun on Wake Island and that you (re)discover the frantic
\nsandbox gameplay this timeless design caters to.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
