Man, this map is really chilling. The fact that nearly everything is covered in thick layers of soot and charred ground gives it the signature 'burnt' feeling, and the atmosphere is incredibly well done. The gas cloud in one direction, and a sea of fire and embers the other. Husks of tanks litter the wasteland that was once a beautiful, wooded landscape. Truly a brilliant piece of detail work put into a map. Aside from it's gameplay issues this is easily my favourite map in Battlefield 1, especially coupled with the Apocalypse Main Theme 3. It gives you a sense that this is the end of an era of all out, non-stop war that maimed the countries it took place in, and let the globe see just how horrific the frontlines were. If cameras didn't exist then, we may never have seen what a horrible place Passchendaele became during that battle, and what conditions front line troops fought in. It takes some serious mettle to go against those conditions, either on the winning or losing side. At least, that's my two penneth.
