Have you been enjoying the closed beta for World of Tanks?  If so, you're experience is now expanded by two new maps - Komarin and Cliff.  These two maps are described as follows:

"KOMARIN reflects a tiny village somewhere in the Eastern Europe covered with a spring tide, whereas CLIFF is a reference to the coast of Normandy with its lone rocks, small fisherman settlements and endless shorelines."

You're basically going to get more of what you love in World of Tanks.  Here are some new screenshots for the two maps, but login to the game to see them first-hand.

Wargaming.net Releases Two New Maps

Wargaming.net today announced the rollout of two new battle maps — KOMARIN and CLIFF — for its highly-anticipated massively multiplayer online action game World of Tanks that is currently in the closed beta.

Based upon different geographic locations, the new battlefields provide many-sided gameplay and numerous tactical opportunities. KOMARIN reflects a tiny village somewhere in the Eastern Europe covered with a spring tide, whereas CLIFF is a reference to the coast of Normandy with its lone rocks, small fisherman settlements and ! endless shorelines.

“We are constantly working on diversifying World of Tanks gameplay”, says Nick Katselapov, producer of the game. “Adding Komarin and Cliff to the list of maps will encourage players to apply even more teamwork and cooperation because they require a totally different tactical approach than any battlefields that World of Tanks has had to offer so far.”
