As expected, DICE pushed the limits of game graphics with Battlefield 1. We played the Play-First-Trial and collected a ton of screenshots at maxed out settings.

Suez (32 images)

Factions: United Kingdom vs. Ottoman Empire

United Kingdom vs. Ottoman Empire Special Features: Armored Train Behemoth

The Suez canal was, and still is, a vital shipping port — and this map depicts the struggle as the United Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire class on the riverbanks, into the long desert dunes, and across city outskirts. The objectives are each set in distinct parts of the map, with their own recognizable pitfalls and advantages.

ST.Quentin (45 images)

Factions: United Kingdom vs. German Empire

United Kingdom vs. German Empire Special Features: Airship L30 Behemoth | Trenches and village combat.

The map depicting the Battle of Mont Saint-Quentin is divided in half with two distinct sections — the ruined farmlands, and the burnt No-Man’s-Land. The village in the center is already partially destroyed, and won’t stay intact for long, but it looks positively idyllic next to the scarred trenches and bunkers found on the eastern edges of the map. The rest of the area is relatively open farmlands, where vehicles can easily maneuver around objectives.

Amiens (45 images)

Factions: United Kingdom vs. German Empire

United Kingdom vs. German Empire Special Features: Armored Train Behemoth | Urban ruins environment.

Set during the climactic Battle of Amiens in 1918, this French burg is where the Allies’ began their 100 Days Offensive, leading to the total defeat of the German Empire that same year. This is a brutal, city-oriented combat area with plenty of destruction. Using cover will be crucial, but may make it difficult for bi-planes and / or tanks to target on-foot soldiers. The narrow alleys and roads make easy choke points to lay traps, such as anti-vehicle mines.

Fao Fortress (48 images)

Factions: United Kingdom vs. Ottoman Empire

United Kingdom vs. Ottoman Empire Special Features: Dreadnought Behemoth | Al-Faw peninsula fortress.

The second map with a naval focus is the Fao Fortress, taking place in the desert and featuring another Dreadnought ship, this map depicts the British invasion of the Ottoman Empire’s territory in the Persian Gulf. With the United Kingdom on the offensive, the Ottoman Empire must defend the hilltop battlements from the land, sea, and air.

Sinai Desert (77 images)

Factions: United Kingdom vs. Ottoman Empire

United Kingdom vs. Ottoman Empire Special Features: Armored Train Behemoth | Massive, flat desert landscape. | Sandstorm weather effect.

The Sinai Desert is a huge open desert where you’ll have to cross vast stretches of unprotected sand to reach the objectives. Each focal point is a small outpost, camp or village with a handful of small buildings to take cover. The norther edges of the map feature more roads (and train tracks), along with narrow canyon passages through the cliffs to launch surprise attacks. Every so often, a visibility-lowered sandstorm will roll in, giving foot soldiers an advantage, and a chance to close in on machine gun emplacements or unprotected heavy vehicles.
