In a new blog post, developer DICE has indicated that Grand Operations — multi-stage, 64-player engagements — will not arrive on day one. > “Grand Operations is the ultimate multiplayer experience,” DICE said, “designed to seamlessly showcase the maps and modes of Battlefield V. Each Grand Operation presents a powerful narrative experience inspired by historical events. Shortly after launch, you will be able to take part in the first Grand Operation.”
