Keep checking back with the Call of Duty Newsletter for future editions of "Map It Out For Me.Sledgehammer Games has tried to make Call of Duty: WW2 more welcoming to new and lapsed players this year, but there’s still an overwhelming amount to take in when you start the game for the first time. Don’t have Season Pass? Get it now and you’ll have this amazing classic available immediately, plus 4 future DLC Packs coming down the pike. Got Season Pass? Go jump in a Carentan match. It’s fast, it’s fun as hell and it’s free for Season Pass* owners. When they do, time to get your slasher on. Dash from cover to cover and lay in wait while your unsuspecting enemies breeze past you looking for firefights. This map is practically made for stalking with all its alcoves. If you’re up for a challenge, try going a whole match on Carentan with only a shovel and throwing knives equipped. Use this nest sparingly as you’re exposed on three sides, not to mention vulnerable to sniper fire from the second floor of the Tavern. The last MG 42 sits on Main Street, just outside the Tavern facing down two ends of the street. Once captured, you can shut down one of only three paths to the flag, so consider setting up a defensive position here to protect B. If you find yourself in a Domination match, this pillbox gives a great view of one of the approaches to the B flag. This nest also covers the center of town, but from a different vantage and has views into the central courtyard and the Headquarters. So, don’t be shy about checking behind you: those ranked-up Mountain boys can be sneaky.įrom there, cast your gaze up to the 2 nd floor of the Apartment, to the left of the ladder leading to the roof – you’ll see the MG 42 we eluded to earlier. Not only that, but you’re also firing a noisy machine gun which isn’t exactly subtle. You can cover plenty of open areas from here, but you’re also exposed from quite literally all sides. The first one can be found on a sandbag pile nestled atop the ‘Hill’ facing the center of town. Pro tip: don’t make a habit of sitting still up there. From the MG 42 nest in the 2 nd floor window of the Apartment, you even have the chance to run across the roof and see both ends of the map from one spot. As you pass from building to building, each room provides multiple windows from which to survey the streets below. In the center of the map, you’ll find a block of inter-connected buildings, all with 2 nd floors that allow you to navigate the middle of the map with a bird’s eye view. With two second-floor windows overlooking the Cratered Street and a third looking out on Main with views to the Farmhouse, it’s a sharpshooter’s paradise and a run-and-gunner’s worst nightmare. Be especially careful around the Tavern, aka the Sniper’s Birdnest. Might not be the worst idea for you to stick to the edges while you’re getting your feet under you. ![]() Even if you pride yourself on keeping your head on a swivel, you’re bound to get ambushed around a corner or from above or behind. Most positions on this map leave you exposed from multiple sides and elevations. ![]() Take your time to get to know the varied sightlines and don’t get frustrated if you seem to be dying more often than usual. With stairwells, elevated windows and tight corners, this map plays different than any other. Good thing because the multi-level sightlines of this map demand a nigh-superhuman level of awareness. No matter where you are, you’re never far from a sandbag pile, turned-over couch, rock wall or flaming vehicle to duck behind. So, avoid those two dead horses behind the Restaurant, side-step those scurrying rats and join us as we take a jaunt through this quaint little burg.Īs you navigate the map, one thing becomes abundantly clear: you’re not lacking for cover. But in Call of Duty: WWII, Carentan is looking better than ever and plays just as fast as you remember. ![]() If this map feels familiar, that’s because it’s inspired by one of the original maps from the very first Call of Duty. This week’s edition of Map it Out For Me takes us to the rainy, bombed-out French town of Carentan.
