<p>It's a big day for <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/battlefield-v/">Battlefield V</a>, as the World War II shooter's next free map has arrived. The map Al Sundan came to Battlefield V today through the Chapter 4: Defying the Odds update.</p><p>Al Sundan is set in the North Africa desert, and players may note that it looks familiar. That's because it is pulled from the single-player mission, Behind Enemy Lines, from the Under No Flag chapter of the campaign.</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="large" data-img-src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1179/11799911/3554922-alsundan.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-3554922" data-ratio="0.56219931271478" data-width="1455" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 1455px"><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1179/11799911/3554922-alsundan.jpg"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1179/11799911/3554922-alsundan.jpg" srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1179/11799911/3554922-alsundan.jpg 1455w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...sundan.jpg 1280w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...sundan.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" data-width="1280"></a></figure><p> </p><p>Al Sundan is described as a "versatile map" that supports numerous different play-styles.
