Luckily over the past weekend, I got to spend a ton of time with The War Machine, the second DLC pack for Call Of Duty WWII. I ended up actually playing a lot of standard Team Deathmatch and I found that out of the three new maps, I had a clear favorite and that favorite is Egypt.
From that first reveal trailer, I had a feeling this was going to be the case. But Sledgehammer Games have created a fantastic map here and I would go as far to say that Egypt is the best map in the whole of Call Of Duty WWII so far.
What I love about it is not just the aesthetic, which is cool by the way. It is the way that there are so many different ways that you can approach this map. There are plenty of narrow spaces that you can traverse to take people down at close range and catch them unawares. However, there are also some large open spaces, which thanks to the many higher sections of the map, can be a picking ground for a high-level sniper. Even me, a guy who sucks at playing as a sniper had fun doing this.
I am more of a run and gun, lone wolf type of Team Deathmatch player. But Egypt is such a well-designed map that you can actually come up with some pretty interesting tactics to flank and trap enemies to help give your team an edge.
Egypt is just a ton of fun to play and I think that even if you have already played a ton of Call Of Duty WWII, you will find that this map breathes a lot of fresh air into every game mode you play on it.
