Wake Island

The Battle of Wake Island was a battle in the Pacific theater of World War II. It was initiated by a Japanese assault on the American controlled island on December 8, 1941, simultaneously with the attack on Pearl Harbor. The battle is the basis for maps in the games Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield 1943, and to be featured in Battlefield 3 as a part of Back to Karkand.

Battlefield 1942
Wake Island is a Pacific theatre map, contested between the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC). There are 5 flags, all held at the beginning of the game by the USMC. The Japanese must launch an amphibious attack from their waiting fleet, which consists of, in singleplayer, a destroyer, located near the Landing Beach to the south, and in multiplayer, an aircraft carrier and a destroyer, located near the entrance to the sheltered lagoon.

Battlefield Vietnam
Wake Island was added to Battlefield Vietnam with a World War II mod which offered Battlefield 1942 maps modified with more plants and trees while the core of the maps such as flag positions remained the same.

Battlefield Heroes
Wake Island has just appeared in Battlefield Heroes' PTE (Public Test Enviroment) as a new map. This version of Wake Island has no carriers and no boats, this might just be like that since the map is in testing stage. Wake Island also has a new name called "Wicked Wake"

The map is nearly identical to previous games' Wake Island, exept with a couple of differences, being that this version has no boats and carriers and this version is considerably smaller than previous versions.

Battlefield 3
Wake Island will be set to feature in the Back to Karkand DLC. It is much darker and war torn then the previous versions of map.
