Legends speak of an ancient village deep in the swamps of Transylvania. Once a peaceful community, it is said that they angered the forces of evil late one St George's Eve, cursing the land around them forever. The disturbances began small at first; the wolves howled a little louder, the insects buzzed harsher, and the fog rolled thicker. Then the sightings began. First, it was a light in the distance, then shapes stalking the villagers in the night, and finally, fellow townsfolk drove mad. As the afflicted destroyed their own homes, the remaining villagers took shelter in the Church, as it was the final standing refuge against the horrors lurking in the swamps. When a wandering traveler next visited the village, there was.... nothing. There were no bodies, no fresh graves, not a shred of evidence that humans once lived there, save the ruined houses and the still-standing church.

Now, Allied and Soviet forces find themselves in conflict over this very land. Each one hopes to establish their own listening post hidden away from the front lines. But they may not be alone amongst the trees...

• Features a Barracks, Radar Dome, and Refinery for each team.
  
• Limited units can be purchased via airdrop from the Radar Dome.

Could it be? It could! We are bringing back Fissure, but this time it is Limited Edition Holiday Spirit Fissure™. For the uninitiated, Fissure is a classic DM map from the days of old, and it has had several iterations, from the basic tier to the tuna fish tier to the "how the hell do I get out of this tunnel?" tier. The version we are bringing back is most reminiscent of the tuna fish version (which is essentially "Tunnel Fissure" from the APB Beta era). Like our other Christmas map, we don't plan to run it in the rotation year-round, but for the holiday season as well as for any special times that players feel like playing it.

Features a Barracks and an Ore Silo for each team. The Barracks provides two credits per second, and the Ore Silos (up top as in the original) heal slowly up to half health if they are unattacked for a moment.

The thief can steal from one particular spot inside the Soviet Barracks. The objective marker will say where, and it is a small zone.
