This is the 2nd and - in my opinion - the better mission in the Season Pass 1 pack. Conqueror is still decent but I think Landing Force is superior in every way. What I was missing from Conqueror we get here: the usual briefing that shows the table and Karl provides the back story. And the same at the end as an outro. I get the feeling that the map could have been included amongst the regular 8 missions. What if they did that but decided to pull it out to make it a DLC instead later?

First off, the map is huge. The beach looks fantastic but even before there is a cave we leave at the beginning. The playable area includes a harbour, a small village, a lighthouse, a fortress and the most important part, the central area with the base containing the guns we need to destroy. Once again there are several options at our disposal to do this. And 3 gunboats patrolling the area to stop us from doing stealth.

The new weapons are OK. The shotgun was more interesting in Conqueror. This time, we do not have anything special. Now, we have optional objectives as usual and that includes an officer to kill. Too bad the solution to our problem is poisoning that we have seen already in one of the campaign missions.

Overall, I was satisfied with Landing Force. It is a great map with room for replayability and the normal length of the map is also decent. For some reason only one achievement was added to this DLC and that requires map completion only. No 2-star rating or playthrough on authentic. Perhaps the latter would be too difficult on such a big map. Highly recommended!
