Helgoland looks sooo good but I prefer infantry combat so I really cant enjoy it. Imagine Operations on that map with maybe 2 boats, 1 plane and 1 tank. Would be one of the best battlefield experiences I think.
I really love heligoland, but to be fair, I rarely play as infantry on that map. It’s probably the most unique map in BF1, and I have a lot of fun with it, even though it’s rarely in rotation.
My favorite memory from BF1 was on rupture so its nice to see it got put so high. It was the end of the match and the other team had gotten there behemoth (the big tank) and it was tearing into our team from the opposing side of the river. Me and my squad noticed that it started to move to cross the bridge so we placed like 3 assaults worth of dynamite/at mines on the center of the bridge right over the water. Just as the tank approached the dynamite we all detonated the explosives and the part of the bridge over the water got destroyed leaving the behemoth to crash into the water below. None of us even knew the bridge could be destroyed so it was such a spontaneous, cinematic and dare I say only in battlefield moment. Seeing the massive explosion, the whole bridge crumbling apart and the massive tank keeling over the edge of the bridge was just soooo cool. That alone definitely puts rupture as my fav Bf1 map and honestly just thinking about it now there were so many moments like that, and its crazy to think that Bf1 is old enough to be "nostalgic"
My top three is: 1- Passchendaele: You get the full experience of BF1 and the ambience it's purely inmersive, I always found myself playing more carefully on this map because I actually feel actuall fear. 2- Suez: Same here, ALL the map is destructible, so it's pretty fun to play here and also the train throwing mortar rounds on point C - B or C - D is PURE FEAR. 3- Amiens: It's Amiens, we all love it.
I’d put Suez top three as well. Seems like it’s either loved or hated with no in between. I always loved how it’s just a constant single front push from both sides and the CQC allows for tons of hand to hand fighting which is the funnest aspect of the game imo
Why do people hate the G objective on Sinai? It’s totally different than basically any other objective in the entire game and that’s what makes it unique
it's in the middle of a wide open expanse and it has the tank hunter elite. Objectives C and D on Sinai work very well together and this is the most fun part of the map for me. The rest is quite open, good for snipers and artillery trucks, but I don't enjoy the map outside of the village and the train yard. I also think that the elites should be restructured: both the flame trooper and sentry should be in the town (on opposing sides of C) and both teams should have access to the tank hunter, maybe at objectives A and F just like on St. Quentin.
@@May-gr8bp I guess to each their own. Personally at the start of each game, I make a dead sprint for G and like spending the most of the game there tbh. It’s such a unique semi-open world experience
I honestly like every map in the game. But my favourites are 1. Amiens (the perfect BF1 map) 2. Sinai Desert (this one is a hot take, but I’ve always had a blast on this map for some reason) 3. St Quentin Scar (best operations map, and the Blimp Behemoth is so cool; flagship map for the game) 4. Achi Baba (love the aesthetic and balanced infantry combat) 5. Argonne Forest (bad map on operations, but incredible on conquest)
I gotta say you brought good points up with monte grappa but I still love it so much. It’s so fun to be in the bunkers while the enemy tries to run through the door
I'd put nivelle nights in my top 10, even closer to top 5. Always been an infantry player, and the map has such a great feel, good map traversal, and the trench play is spot on. Great compilation tho! Always loved the feel of the game, whatever map it was
From purely objective point of view, this list and your pros and cons are spot on. Subjectively, I fucking hate ballroom blitz. Hate that map. Paschendale is my favorite, but unfortunately it's rarely in rotation.
Obviously my opinion, and i know this comment was a year ago. But i have a blast on ballroom blitz, and Passchendaele is just boring and unfun. My opinion, of course.
I may be biased but I really like Heligoland because I got some good moments in that map like destroying a destroyer with torpedo boat and destroying blimp with fighter
Oh to remember the good old days on monte grappa when the heavy bomber didn't exist, and when the people flying the normal bombers would blow themselves up with their own splash damage.
Great points made here. Maybe a video suggestion could be talking about each map in 60 seconds. Listing the good and the bad for multiple game modes. And also listing different possibilities within each round. Thanks!
This is my top 10: 1- Amiens 2- Argonne Forest 3- Achi Baba 4- Fort Vaux 5- Brusilov Keep 6- St. Quentin (in Operations) 7- Verdun 8- Prise de Tahure 9- Nivelle Nights 10- Passchendaele
Visibility is a general issue for this game, even on a beautifully designed map, fog or over exposure made me mad every single time. At first sight it added atmosphere but when you done admiring the graphics, it is definitely a negative feature
That is something the battlefield games have struggled with for a while and I kinda think it’s an intentional design feature. In battlefield 3 and 4 they had IR scopes to counteract it, but people hated playing against them because it made target recognition a lot easier. In battlefield 1 there’s no replacement but they didn’t make visibility much better
I'm going to rank each operation in order from easiest to attack to hardest to attack. I left out Red Tide because I can't get any games on it. 8 - Kaisershlact; St. Quentin's Scar gets steamrolled by massive infantry pushes and hilltop camping ground vehicles, with the British only able to reliably clear a battalion in sectors 2 and 5. Sector 3 on both maps have 3 points with the capture of one often leading to harsh flanking offensives on the other two. Amiens has a better chance, but the British are often funneled through minimally covered areas after respawns meaning the Germans effectively become defensive offenders. 7 - Devil's Anvil; the first bit of major resistance is at sector 2 B of Verdun Heights, where the French hunker in the bunkers waiting to mow the Germans down as French Scouts and Supports pick them off from their spawn. Said spawn will be next once the Germans take sector 2, and the French will be putting up a fight just as hard, if not harder. Once the game reaches Fort de Vaux, the Germans will be left with 2 battalions left, 1 if they're unlucky, which yeah... Fort de Vaux's either win or lose, you know how it goes 6 - Beyond the Marne; similar story to Kaisershlacht, but the Germans can whittle down the French way more reliably. Soissons is a lost cause, the French may lose a battalion, but they will take Soissons. Rupture on the other hand will test their mettle with progressively stronger defenses. 5 - Conquer Hell; Ballroom Blitz and Argonne Forrest are rough initially, but get easier as the match progresses, more so with Argonne. The Americans are funneled and subsequently grinded into and through the claustrophobic bunkers and buildings, but will turn the tides once the maps open up near the tail end of them. 4 - Gallipoli; I've only played this one a handful of times on defense, but the Brits got hammered every single time. 3 - Iron Walls; Monte Grappa has 6 sectors... which half will likely get overrun anyway because the Austro-Hungarians, IDK, wanted to play on the next one? Either way, they will still chew up the Italians pretty good with the big fields into tiny chokes Monte Grappa offers. Empire's Edge is a cakewalk until sector 4, which is the make or break moment of the match, you either break through and win or get stonewalled by 3 far spaced capture points. I wish you good luck, cause you'll need it. 2 - Oil of Empires; surprise, surprise, the gamemode's marathon lap at 3 maps is near the top of the list. Every sector can be reliably held at least somewhat by the Ottomans with its worst cases being Fao Fortress 4th where once you enter the fortress, nowhere is safe, and Sinai Desert 1st because Scouts... just Scouts, there are like 15 scope glares every time you leave cover so yeah look out for that. 1 - Brusilov Offensive; actually, let me rephrase that: Galicia, because that's all you're going to see. The map is so open, and so wide, that you can be crossmaped by ASSAULTS at any given moment. The only time I have played on Brusilov Keep was in conquest mode, if that doesn't tell you how rigorous this operation is, I don't know what will. It is such a futile effort, that the Russian soldiers we torture by playing this map see visions of the future, visions of men and women getting butchered just like themselves by the brother empire of the one they were fighting. A corrupt, monstrous empire forged from the bankrupt and battered remains of the two they were at war with for not even half a decade, which would wage another on within 5 times as long later and spill tenfold as much blood, all for what?
I absolutely hate meat grinder maps. I hated them in previous BF games, I hate them even now. Fort De Vaux is the definition of unfun. If I stay inside the fort, I'm just gonna peek corners and lobs grenades for what feels like an eternity until by some miracle one of us gives up. If I go outside, I'm gonna be immediately domed by supports and snipers camping on spawn.
@@pallani8471in Fort De Vaux there are enough different routes you can take so it doesn’t becomes such a meat grind. If you feel like you are stuck somewhere, just GO AROUND AND FLANK. Personally I never get stuck in for example a hallway lobbing grenades at the enemy. I always look for a way to flank the enemy. I can agree with your sentiment though if applied to operation metro, as that map does not a nearly as many different routes as Fort The Vaux
Love the video. I very much disagree with Heligoland, as in my opinion it is meant to be boat-focused, and I spend all my time on that map in a torpedo boat or the like. Infantry isn’t really the point of the map imo. Also some of the names being butchered was killing me lmao. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, the way he pronounces french names is always a little funny. Heligoland is a beautiful map that could do with the top of the hill being accessible, boat combat is cool and imo objective C is really well designed. If the whole map was more like objective C i.e. lots of trenches it would be better.
St. Quentin is the only map that allows you to get 70 kills playing as infantry/tanker/pilot. It's the most complete map on conquest imho, slightly better than Sinai, infinetely better than Empire 😂😂😂
Top 5: 1. Passchendaele: it pure chaos in both sides. A lot of places to hide when being a sniper. True example of trench warfare. 2. Fort de Vaux: Similar to Passchendaele but you have less in hiding places. It like you’re playing cat and mouse. 3. Amien: One of iconic maps and it fun to play in cities. 4. Verdun Heights: a fix up Fort de Vaux and Passchendaele. 5. Lupkow Pass: enjoying being on horseback with spears just to ram through enemies. Love the view of snowy mountains. Especially playing conquest or operation in this map is really fun.
I love Prise de Fahrer so much. Not being able to see anything . It adds an sort of feeling of terror when going anywhere around the corner. Also I use shotguns so I like close quarters.
I think the problem with Sinai desert are the dunes in the desert section, which gives vehicles sufficient cover but not enough for infantry, meaning a single experienced tank driver who knows how to dance around those dunes is going to make everyone else's life a living hell. If you try to hunt them with attack planes, they can double back to G, where there's a bunch of AA (and an aircraft spawn point) waiting to absolutely demolish you.
Heligoland, Nivelle Nights, and Prise are some of the best maps imo. I don't really understand the hate for the night maps. The darkness makes flanking more fun without having to worry about the 20 scout players ready to dome you on the vast, coverless expanses of most maps. The fog on some maps makes it even better.
Frankly Monte Grappa is my fav. The sheer chaotic fun of the bunker meatgrinder. And the utter bliss that is duking out all the battalions either as a defender or attacker at the fortress at the very end.
@@Jepie I mean, taste is subjective, but as I said all of them were great in their unique way... Passchendaele really captured the iconic WW1 atmosphere, without a doubt a fantastic map.
Top 3: *1. River Somme:* _Hands down the best map of the game. The start functions as a skill check that can kill an unbalanced game quickly, but the trenches are amazing. Almost no other map allowes aggressive gameplay with every single weapon class. The tanks are very well balanced too. What puts it above and beyond is, how it encapsulates the Great War like nothing else: A major assault over open ground, diving into trenches, fight over remaining structures and finally push into the open backlines, ravaged by the artillery._ *2. Sinai Desert:* _Incredible reliable map if no crackpot pilot is around. All classes are viable, tanks have to stay outside the main fighting areas or get killed, planes occupy themselves and cavalry positively addictive. (Though Caparetto 0/35 lance cav. games still more so)_ *3. Passchendaele:* _If it wasn't for the insanely dumb decisions to have the battlefield hug the spawns, leading to the worst spawn camping since Armored Shield a bit to often, it is a well realized CQC experience and suprisingly playable with cavalry, which is a huge bonus for me, who adores that class aka the only balanced "IFV" in Battlefield history._
Been really enjoying your content man! Just got into BF1 after playing BF4 for years - getting more used to the way the game works and your tier-lists have been super helpful!
God that number one just hurts my soul. It is one of the hardest maps I feel like to push on operations, especially the second objective. And as mainly a vehicle guy, the lack of good vehicle lanes makes it next to impossible to help the infantry push and only encourages camping for them.
My favorite map will always be Achi Babba, no matter the gamemode it always somehow ended up being really fun. I really loved the 3 lane design that they gave it and made it a heavily strategic map imo
I'll admit that I kinda like Heligoland because I like using vehicles even though I know objectively its pretty poor in terms of map design. There aren't a whole lot of purely vehicle based maps in the game,except maybe Zeebrugge or if you count them as maps, London Calling and Swiss Alps. The one thing I was suprised by on this list was Tsaritsyn not being at the bottom of the list. I absolutely hate that map with every fiber in my being. The only two outcomes for that map are getting absoluetly destroyed because one team managed to get to the cathedral first and rushed to the last flag or something of a stalemate because neither team can push. Having so few flags is dangerous for conquest maps, you'd think DICE would know this after more than 15 years of Battlefield at the time BF1 came out. They really should have expanded the map more so there's more of the city to use as flanking routes, or even having a flag close to the industrial area by the river, and some other places of interest in Volgograd that aren't just the cathedral.
Nice content 😊 my favourite maps are - Argonne forest, Suez, Fort De Vaux, Ballroom Blitz. Rupture, Soisson and Achi Baba few other good maps from this game.
The problem with this video is that most of these are based off of conquest. Like a Lupkow pass struggles in conquest but dominates in operation and shock operations. So basically this list is a little too vague.
I based mostly off of Conquest, as it's the only gamemode that gets played consistently in all regions at this stage in the game. Plus, I didn't want to go extremely in depth because then the video would easily breach and hour. Also, it allows me to make dedicated videos on the maps, should I choose to
Great video. Although i don't agree with the ranking in every point, the description is prety accurate. Would you make videos analyzing each map in more detail? chears mate
Not that that this excuses your comment on Prise, but you can actually resolve this easily by bumping it up to 100% brightness, which is hillarious considering my default is 50% :).
Hey bud I just want to say I just got bf1 and it’s my first battlefield since bad company 1. Your videos genuinely help me figure out how I should play the game and i appreciate your honest takes towards maps and gunplay mechanics. Thank you for the great videos, much respect from Louisiana
As someone who lived and breathed battlefield 1 when it was new, if you ever get the chance to play the french dlc operation do it no matter what. Its the single best gaming experience ive ever had and its so hard to find games for it
In my opinion Zeebrugge is the best because of the map's nature Honorable mention: Apocalypse maps (Passchendaele, River Somme and Caporetto) due to how it captures the feeling of Apocalypse
Argonne Forest is such a horrible map that not only people should not be playing it, but DICE should have removed it from the game, scrap all evidence of its existence and even mentioning it be grounds for permanent ban from EA games, not just Battlefield.
I love Amiens, but for some reason every team I tend to play Conquest with they completely neglect the ability to cross the map anywhere else but the main bridge.
Why do people love Sinai? I never understood the appeal of running around in a huge desert as a soldier waiting to be picked off by one or 200 snipers or bombed by a plane every single time you leave the spawn area. Sinai has nothing to offer except it being a planes/campers/tanks paradise with infantry serving zero purpose, only to be cannon fodder. It is just a crappy mishmash of Bandar Desert from BF3 and El Alamein from 1942, except those maps weren't as atrociously huge as Sinai, and I'd rather play on Heligoland blindfolded.
I agree on the beauty of Caporetto but thats what i love in the ganeplay too. It adds well to the immersion of the gameplay. I would have personally have put it up a decent few more spots
Somewhat dissapointed with monte grappa maybe muroma planes are annoying but the experience of defending one of the bunkers with 3 medics rewiving everyone 2 lying troops on the back and everyone throwing grenades at the door 😂 or defending the last fort which was usually bombed of the map in the end phases and only ground floor was still standing defending it was really fun but attacking is a different story
Tahure has always been my favorite map for the night elements and the history of the region. I’ve always loved Lupkow Pass and Giant’s Shadow I would’ve put maps like Tsaritsyn and Albion higher up. Also putting Sinai in their place.
Tsaritsyn is my favorite map. It has everything. Open areas for Scouts and tanks, indoors areas, streets, tight alleys. The only negative is when you get trapped at A spawn point, then you are basically stuck and the game is over. But the map is amazing and has it all. Also, it doesn't have any airplanes bombing you non stop. I purposely do not play maps that have planes because it's just too unfair when you are constantly getting bombed by zero skill pilots and have no recourse.
In my opnion monte grappa is the easiest operation to defend by far, does the italian team overruns the first 2 sectors? sure! but 99% of the time they will lose at sector 3 due to either the A-H team camping on mocheni turret and being competent or 2: they're tickets are almost 0 and they will try to desperately rush the mocheni turret so they dont get annihilated by the turret (They're entire team dies to the turret, ironically)
9:59 my second favorite map, But Monte Grappa da best,u have such great memories of holding out againts italians in the church, alongside retreating up the slope where I managed to kill 15 people before being killed. And I am not even a sniper,I am an medic class main.
My first ever game on Heligoland Bight happened to be on a server where the mod had it set to realistic mode and score 2000 to win on conquest. Least amount of fun I've ever had playing BF1 and I left at like 1500 score lol
For me Passchendaele is the best nap bc of its immersion but on operation Monte Grappa is simply too good. If u are on the attacking team it's thrilling to rush in the Fortress Gun bunkers with dynamite and as the defender the last objective almost makes u get a heart attack
i agree with lots of your assesments, especially the high rankings of Ballroom blitz, Passchendale, and Amiens. But for some odd reason, some of the maps you rank quite high i just hate to play. For example, Achi Baba and Soissons. I can't really justify why, but when is see them come up on conquest I always want to leave. But Heligoland 100% deserves the lowest rating. Honestly it might as well be a plane+naval combat only map. Objectives like the ship and the island are so isolated its an odysey to get back to the combat. I feel as if a lot of these maps would have benefitted from being operations maps. And that the shock operations gamemode should have been incorporated into the operations matchmaking. Its a great mode but nobody can ever get to play it.
@@propdouchebag I think infantry only maps work best when they are close quarters. Fort de Vaux is great and it has only infantry. But Achi Baba is really open and also very linear.
I guess my opinion is contrary to every battlefield player but idk the experience on ps4 is alright which is why my opinion is different from most players because time and time again I get stuck with bad teammates who can’t coordinate gunfire, work together in squads, or understand the logistics of capturing certain a objectives over others/ defending some objects being captured right behind them… but on maps like suez, Amiens, pirse, agrone, or tsarisyn, 75% of the time it’s whoever gets to the middle first wins and not that I care but that’s why my win percentage is not in line with my other stats because more than half the time all of those maps just turn into race to the middle then meat grinder/get pushed back to spawn for rest of game maps and it’s so aggravating because none of your team works with you
I played Brusilov Keep the other day. It was one of the worst matches ever lol. But that was due to a combination of barely any players, playing after dark, and the slow, agonizing rate at which our soldier count was drained.
On Heligoland Bight They Kinda Forgot That Infantry Fighting is also a thing apart of vehicle combat
Legit, hey?
Still love that map.
Its so infrequently in the map pool that its never bothered me
Ikr
I still love the shit outta it personally. I longed for naval combat in games and this is the best map for it
Helgoland looks sooo good but I prefer infantry combat so I really cant enjoy it. Imagine Operations on that map with maybe 2 boats, 1 plane and 1 tank. Would be one of the best battlefield experiences I think.
Nivelle Nights is definitely my favorite map, the atmosphere is impeccable and I generally like trench maps
Even playing in night is fun.
It's sad that nobody votes for them because of their precious visibility, but honestly the night maps were so much fun on BF1
It’s crazy comparing Prise and Nivelle
I really love heligoland, but to be fair, I rarely play as infantry on that map. It’s probably the most unique map in BF1, and I have a lot of fun with it, even though it’s rarely in rotation.
As infantry heligoland is a boring map
The naval stuff is refreshing after infantry on the other maps
I think most people just don't find boat combat very exciting
@@vaels5682I think it’s pretty fun, could definitely be improved though.
What's your class to play best?
every map has to be a 10/10 for visuals.
argonne is green sludge. ony ugly bf1 map for me.
@@mattcummins3818 its funny, bcs its actually considered the best looking map, with sinai Desert.
@@matejberanek2099those are the worst two maps imo
Galicia is ugly

That alone definitely puts rupture as my fav Bf1 map and honestly just thinking about it now there were so many moments like that, and its crazy to think that Bf1 is old enough to be "nostalgic"
i will take that into consideration
My top three is:
1- Passchendaele: You get the full experience of BF1 and the ambience it's purely inmersive, I always found myself playing more carefully on this map because I actually feel actuall fear.
2- Suez: Same here, ALL the map is destructible, so it's pretty fun to play here and also the train throwing mortar rounds on point C - B or C - D is PURE FEAR.
3- Amiens: It's Amiens, we all love it.
Valid list but I would replace Suez with something else but I dont know what
Edit: maybe st. Quentin scar
What BF1 experience do you get when it’s dark and it has literally nothing in terms of vehicles. That’s not BF1
I’d put Suez top three as well. Seems like it’s either loved or hated with no in between. I always loved how it’s just a constant single front push from both sides and the CQC allows for tons of hand to hand fighting which is the funnest aspect of the game imo

@@May-gr8bp I guess to each their own.
Personally at the start of each game, I make a dead sprint for G and like spending the most of the game there tbh. It’s such a unique semi-open world experience
I just think that if you don't have a vehicle, it's just too far out of the way. Fun place for fights tho
Because anything slightly different from other maps is a major no-no in fps games. G flag is really cool, makes the big desert have some playability
at sinai, everyone minds their own business
its a funny map for sure
I honestly like every map in the game. But my favourites are
1. Amiens (the perfect BF1 map)
2. Sinai Desert (this one is a hot take, but I’ve always had a blast on this map for some reason)
3. St Quentin Scar (best operations map, and the Blimp Behemoth is so cool; flagship map for the game)
4. Achi Baba (love the aesthetic and balanced infantry combat)
5. Argonne Forest (bad map on operations, but incredible on conquest)
I got the same but switch Sinai with ballroom
Amiens I agree with. Best map. Whenever it comes up at the end of the game next map vote, it's always a landslide
Sinai has pretty piss poor spawns at D, other than that not bad
I gotta say you brought good points up with monte grappa but I still love it so much. It’s so fun to be in the bunkers while the enemy tries to run through the door
I'd put nivelle nights in my top 10, even closer to top 5. Always been an infantry player, and the map has such a great feel, good map traversal, and the trench play is spot on.
Great compilation tho! Always loved the feel of the game, whatever map it was
I agree v good map
Nivelle heights just hits different idk Yy tho
Nivelle Nights has always been a favorite of mine.
My Top 5
1. Fort De Vaux
2. Verdun Heights
3. Passchendaele
4. Argonne Forrest
5. Achi Baba/Caporetto
Fort de vaux is so underrated
I've always loved Prise the nighttime atmosphere is by far one of my favorites in any BF game
It’s like a smaller night time version of Amiens
Yeah and I have never problems with the light level so 10 times higher wouldnt be even night anymore
From purely objective point of view, this list and your pros and cons are spot on. Subjectively, I fucking hate ballroom blitz. Hate that map. Paschendale is my favorite, but unfortunately it's rarely in rotation.
Obviously my opinion, and i know this comment was a year ago. But i have a blast on ballroom blitz, and Passchendaele is just boring and unfun. My opinion, of course.

Every sector can be reliably held at least somewhat by the Ottomans with its worst cases being Fao Fortress 4th where once you enter the fortress, nowhere is safe, and Sinai Desert 1st because Scouts... just Scouts, there are like 15 scope glares every time you leave cover so yeah look out for that.
1 - Brusilov Offensive; actually, let me rephrase that: Galicia, because that's all you're going to see. The map is so open, and so wide, that you can be crossmaped by ASSAULTS at any given moment. The only time I have played on Brusilov Keep was in conquest mode, if that doesn't tell you how rigorous this operation is, I don't know what will. It is such a futile effort, that the Russian soldiers we torture by playing this map see visions of the future, visions of men and women getting butchered just like themselves by the brother empire of the one they were fighting. A corrupt, monstrous empire forged from the bankrupt and battered remains of the two they were at war with for not even half a decade, which would wage another on within 5 times as long later and spill tenfold as much blood, all for what?
I absolutely hate meat grinder maps. I hated them in previous BF games, I hate them even now. Fort De Vaux is the definition of unfun. If I stay inside the fort, I'm just gonna peek corners and lobs grenades for what feels like an eternity until by some miracle one of us gives up. If I go outside, I'm gonna be immediately domed by supports and snipers camping on spawn.
Meat grinders aren’t for everyone, I personally like it if I’m looking to jump right into the action or level up my guns
@@pallani8471in Fort De Vaux there are enough different routes you can take so it doesn’t becomes such a meat grind. If you feel like you are stuck somewhere, just GO AROUND AND FLANK. Personally I never get stuck in for example a hallway lobbing grenades at the enemy. I always look for a way to flank the enemy. I can agree with your sentiment though if applied to operation metro, as that map does not a nearly as many different routes as Fort The Vaux
@@elpoodoo3099 I think you meant to reply to buddy above me lol
Love the video. I very much disagree with Heligoland, as in my opinion it is meant to be boat-focused, and I spend all my time on that map in a torpedo boat or the like. Infantry isn’t really the point of the map imo. Also some of the names being butchered was killing me lmao. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, the way he pronounces french names is always a little funny. Heligoland is a beautiful map that could do with the top of the hill being accessible, boat combat is cool and imo objective C is really well designed. If the whole map was more like objective C i.e. lots of trenches it would be better.
Sniping on that map from B flag to A is paradise
Paschendaele is still my favorite map, it captures the literal apocalypse that was the Western Front. Amiens is also in top five
Heligoland blight is my favorite map
Based Heligoland enjoyer
Same
Great quality video, legitimately the only bf1 UA-camr I watch now
St. Quentin is the only map that allows you to get 70 kills playing as infantry/tanker/pilot. It's the most complete map on conquest imho, slightly better than Sinai, infinetely better than Empire 😂😂😂
By "complete" I mean that you can play any vehicle/class
Amazing narration.. This channel is going places
Top 5:
1. Passchendaele: it pure chaos in both sides. A lot of places to hide when being a sniper. True example of trench warfare.
2. Fort de Vaux: Similar to Passchendaele but you have less in hiding places. It like you’re playing cat and mouse.
3. Amien: One of iconic maps and it fun to play in cities.
4. Verdun Heights: a fix up Fort de Vaux and Passchendaele.
5. Lupkow Pass: enjoying being on horseback with spears just to ram through enemies. Love the view of snowy mountains. Especially playing conquest or operation in this map is really fun.
I mostly agree, I’m changing my top 5 rn bc I realize how flawed ur is
@@Jepie mine’s flawed or yours is flawed.
I love Prise de Fahrer so much. Not being able to see anything . It adds an sort of feeling of terror when going anywhere around the corner. Also I use shotguns so I like close quarters.
You see the fan-trailer of TheLankySoldier right?
I think the problem with Sinai desert are the dunes in the desert section, which gives vehicles sufficient cover but not enough for infantry, meaning a single experienced tank driver who knows how to dance around those dunes is going to make everyone else's life a living hell. If you try to hunt them with attack planes, they can double back to G, where there's a bunch of AA (and an aircraft spawn point) waiting to absolutely demolish you.
Heligoland, Nivelle Nights, and Prise are some of the best maps imo. I don't really understand the hate for the night maps. The darkness makes flanking more fun without having to worry about the 20 scout players ready to dome you on the vast, coverless expanses of most maps. The fog on some maps makes it even better.
Frankly Monte Grappa is my fav. The sheer chaotic fun of the bunker meatgrinder. And the utter bliss that is duking out all the battalions either as a defender or attacker at the fortress at the very end.
My top 3:
1. Heligoland Bright
2. Monte Grappa
3. Suez
But to be fair, all maps in BF1 are a 10/10.
Bro what about paschendalae and verdun heights? They look amazing, are chaotic and immersive, they gotta be up there right? 🥹
@@Jepie I mean, taste is subjective, but as I said all of them were great in their unique way... Passchendaele really captured the iconic WW1 atmosphere, without a doubt a fantastic map.
Finally somebody that understands Heligoland and monte grappa well
Tho Suez is only above average for me, I understand why many like it
Top 3:
*1. River Somme:* _Hands down the best map of the game. The start functions as a skill check that can kill an unbalanced game quickly, but the trenches are amazing. Almost no other map allowes aggressive gameplay with every single weapon class. The tanks are very well balanced too. What puts it above and beyond is, how it encapsulates the Great War like nothing else: A major assault over open ground, diving into trenches, fight over remaining structures and finally push into the open backlines, ravaged by the artillery._
*2. Sinai Desert:* _Incredible reliable map if no crackpot pilot is around. All classes are viable, tanks have to stay outside the main fighting areas or get killed, planes occupy themselves and cavalry positively addictive. (Though Caparetto 0/35 lance cav. games still more so)_
*3. Passchendaele:* _If it wasn't for the insanely dumb decisions to have the battlefield hug the spawns, leading to the worst spawn camping since Armored Shield a bit to often, it is a well realized CQC experience and suprisingly playable with cavalry, which is a huge bonus for me, who adores that class aka the only balanced "IFV" in Battlefield history._
Fort de Vaux and Amiens are my all time favourite maps!
Been really enjoying your content man! Just got into BF1 after playing BF4 for years - getting more used to the way the game works and your tier-lists have been super helpful!
Bro I swear everytime there’s a map choice people pick Suez over almost everything like it’s such an annoying spawn trap map
God that number one just hurts my soul. It is one of the hardest maps I feel like to push on operations, especially the second objective. And as mainly a vehicle guy, the lack of good vehicle lanes makes it next to impossible to help the infantry push and only encourages camping for them.
My favorite map will always be Achi Babba, no matter the gamemode it always somehow ended up being really fun.
I really loved the 3 lane design that they gave it and made it a heavily strategic map imo
I'll admit that I kinda like Heligoland because I like using vehicles even though I know objectively its pretty poor in terms of map design. There aren't a whole lot of purely vehicle based maps in the game,except maybe Zeebrugge or if you count them as maps, London Calling and Swiss Alps. The one thing I was suprised by on this list was Tsaritsyn not being at the bottom of the list. I absolutely hate that map with every fiber in my being. The only two outcomes for that map are getting absoluetly destroyed because one team managed to get to the cathedral first and rushed to the last flag or something of a stalemate because neither team can push. Having so few flags is dangerous for conquest maps, you'd think DICE would know this after more than 15 years of Battlefield at the time BF1 came out. They really should have expanded the map more so there's more of the city to use as flanking routes, or even having a flag close to the industrial area by the river, and some other places of interest in Volgograd that aren't just the cathedral.
Sometimes, I see these low-tier maps would be a good gaming experience if the players are limited to the standard-issued rifles and lack of vehicle.
Probably
Or some low-tier maps have really nice TDM bits like Suez one
Nice content 😊 my favourite maps are - Argonne forest, Suez, Fort De Vaux, Ballroom Blitz. Rupture, Soisson and Achi Baba few other good maps from this game.
Nah man heligoland bight might be not practical but it is by far the map i have the most fun on regardless of playing infantry or vehicle
My all Time fav will Always be pashendaele apocalypse maps are all incredible imo but this one it looks awesome and is so immersive i love it.
The akward moment when even the worst map is a piece of art and very playable.
Well for Sinai the G exist so the open desert wont be empty and forgoten which is a great choice
switched off soon as he rated heligon last place.. map was a masterpiece
Why take into consideration only conquest tho? The maps play very differently depending on the game mode
The problem with this video is that most of these are based off of conquest. Like a Lupkow pass struggles in conquest but dominates in operation and shock operations. So basically this list is a little too vague.
I based mostly off of Conquest, as it's the only gamemode that gets played consistently in all regions at this stage in the game. Plus, I didn't want to go extremely in depth because then the video would easily breach and hour.
Also, it allows me to make dedicated videos on the maps, should I choose to
Great video. Although i don't agree with the ranking in every point, the description is prety accurate. Would you make videos analyzing each map in more detail? chears mate
I'll give it a think over. I'm kind of flat out right now, trying to prepare the next video around work, but I can add it to the idea list
I remember people wanting the night time maps to be darker during CTE, so that's on the community.
Not that that this excuses your comment on Prise, but you can actually resolve this easily by bumping it up to 100% brightness, which is hillarious considering my default is 50% :).
really well done and eloquently explained bro
Hey bud I just want to say I just got bf1 and it’s my first battlefield since bad company 1. Your videos genuinely help me figure out how I should play the game and i appreciate your honest takes towards maps and gunplay mechanics. Thank you for the great videos, much respect from Louisiana
As someone who lived and breathed battlefield 1 when it was new, if you ever get the chance to play the french dlc operation do it no matter what. Its the single best gaming experience ive ever had and its so hard to find games for it
It sucks that a lot of these maps you can’t find any games in
Heligoland Bight is one of my top three favs damn, game needed a naval map badly in my opinion
In my opinion Zeebrugge is the best because of the map's nature
Honorable mention: Apocalypse maps (Passchendaele, River Somme and Caporetto) due to how it captures the feeling of Apocalypse
Your explanation of suez hit the nail on the head
A picture of each map from overhead would be very helpful when talking about each objective
In my opinion, every map on operations are great! (Yes even Galicia)
Argonne Forest is such a horrible map that not only people should not be playing it, but DICE should have removed it from the game, scrap all evidence of its existence and even mentioning it be grounds for permanent ban from EA games, not just Battlefield.
St. Quentin scar, Amiens, Argonne, Verdun, fort, Achi Baba are all best for infantry and my personal favourites
Playing as infantry is much more fun than with vehicles.
Great video! New subscriber
Monte Grappa is by far my favorite map in the game. Gotta love the 3rd stage spawn kill bug on operations🙏
it be fun if the server select had more populated DLC map servers
Agreed, but it's to be expected with a 6 year old game 😭
@@co1e. jeez I feel old, ive been playing the game for 6 years and I just hit 110 today
Jesus... that makes me a bloody no life then, huh? I'm level 119 on PC and believe I was close to 150 on console 😬
I love Amiens, but for some reason every team I tend to play Conquest with they completely neglect the ability to cross the map anywhere else but the main bridge.
High quality content. You should resume making map reviews
For me(controversial)
1 - Passchendaele
2 - River Somme
3 - Verdun
4 - St. Quentin’s Scar
5 - Sinai Dessert
Why do you all love passchendaele? It’s trash
Why do people love Sinai? I never understood the appeal of running around in a huge desert as a soldier waiting to be picked off by one or 200 snipers or bombed by a plane every single time you leave the spawn area. Sinai has nothing to offer except it being a planes/campers/tanks paradise with infantry serving zero purpose, only to be cannon fodder. It is just a crappy mishmash of Bandar Desert from BF3 and El Alamein from 1942, except those maps weren't as atrociously huge as Sinai, and I'd rather play on Heligoland blindfolded.
I agree on the beauty of Caporetto but thats what i love in the ganeplay too. It adds well to the immersion of the gameplay. I would have personally have put it up a decent few more spots
I wish you'd make the same video for battlefield 5, and maybe battlefield 4 as well, it's a cool concept and i enjoyed this video a lot
Somewhat dissapointed with monte grappa maybe muroma planes are annoying but the experience of defending one of the bunkers with 3 medics rewiving everyone 2 lying troops on the back and everyone throwing grenades at the door 😂 or defending the last fort which was usually bombed of the map in the end phases and only ground floor was still standing defending it was really fun but attacking is a different story
Tahure has always been my favorite map for the night elements and the history of the region. I’ve always loved Lupkow Pass and Giant’s Shadow
I would’ve put maps like Tsaritsyn and Albion higher up. Also putting Sinai in their place.
Great video man
Cheers man ❤️
I'd list the top 5
1. Rupture
2. St. Quentin's Scar
3. Ballroom Blitz
4. Amiens
5. Soissons
I was waiting for the video! Thanks for it, i rwały enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed ❤️
@@co1e. im kinda playing st qutlntin scar mostly for the tank hunter, its a preety cool map, but sometimes its ass to play on, cuz its so big
Passchendaele, Verdun, Somme and Nivelle. They actually fit the WW1 setting
Tsaritsyn is my favorite map. It has everything. Open areas for Scouts and tanks, indoors areas, streets, tight alleys. The only negative is when you get trapped at A spawn point, then you are basically stuck and the game is over. But the map is amazing and has it all. Also, it doesn't have any airplanes bombing you non stop. I purposely do not play maps that have planes because it's just too unfair when you are constantly getting bombed by zero skill pilots and have no recourse.
Amazing vid!
Cheers Chris ❤️
In my opnion monte grappa is the easiest operation to defend by far, does the italian team overruns the first 2 sectors? sure! but 99% of the time they will lose at sector 3 due to either the A-H team camping on mocheni turret and being competent or 2: they're tickets are almost 0 and they will try to desperately rush the mocheni turret so they dont get annihilated by the turret (They're entire team dies to the turret, ironically)
I’ve played BF1 since it came out and I still haven’t played some of these maps
9:59 my second favorite map,
But Monte Grappa da best,u have such great memories of holding out againts italians in the church, alongside retreating up the slope where I managed to kill 15 people before being killed.
And I am not even a sniper,I am an medic class main.
My first ever game on Heligoland Bight happened to be on a server where the mod had it set to realistic mode and score 2000 to win on conquest. Least amount of fun I've ever had playing BF1 and I left at like 1500 score lol
My rankings are kinda different, but I liked hearing your reasons! Agreed with galicia being at the bottom lol
as an aussie myself I want to punch EA for not making anzac cove map
Galicia is the map, that is the most like ww1
For me Passchendaele is the best nap bc of its immersion but on operation Monte Grappa is simply too good. If u are on the attacking team it's thrilling to rush in the Fortress Gun bunkers with dynamite and as the defender the last objective almost makes u get a heart attack
ALBION: what is my purpose
DICE: UNLOCKED a ester egg
ALBION: OMG
i agree with lots of your assesments, especially the high rankings of Ballroom blitz, Passchendale, and Amiens. But for some odd reason, some of the maps you rank quite high i just hate to play. For example, Achi Baba and Soissons. I can't really justify why, but when is see them come up on conquest I always want to leave.
But Heligoland 100% deserves the lowest rating. Honestly it might as well be a plane+naval combat only map. Objectives like the ship and the island are so isolated its an odysey to get back to the combat.
I feel as if a lot of these maps would have benefitted from being operations maps. And that the shock operations gamemode should have been incorporated into the operations matchmaking. Its a great mode but nobody can ever get to play it.
Honestly, with Heligoland, they should have just 100% committed to the naval warfare, instead of half assing the infantry aspect
I agree with you on Achi Baba. I can't put my finger on it, but I really don't enjoy that map.
@@propdouchebag I think infantry only maps work best when they are close quarters. Fort de Vaux is great and it has only infantry. But Achi Baba is really open and also very linear.
I guess my opinion is contrary to every battlefield player but idk the experience on ps4 is alright which is why my opinion is different from most players because time and time again I get stuck with bad teammates who can’t coordinate gunfire, work together in squads, or understand the logistics of capturing certain a objectives over others/ defending some objects being captured right behind them… but on maps like suez, Amiens, pirse, agrone, or tsarisyn, 75% of the time it’s whoever gets to the middle first wins and not that I care but that’s why my win percentage is not in line with my other stats because more than half the time all of those maps just turn into race to the middle then meat grinder/get pushed back to spawn for rest of game maps and it’s so aggravating because none of your team works with you
I really couldn't tell you exactly what happened to Conquest Assault.
I think the thought process was to combine the good parts of Conquest and Breakthrough... it just didn't work out that way
I played Brusilov Keep the other day. It was one of the worst matches ever lol. But that was due to a combination of barely any players, playing after dark, and the slow, agonizing rate at which our soldier count was drained.
Hamada could've been so good if they just kept to the last sector and made that better and incorporated the big valley under the bridge more
Maybe I’m just biased as a pilot, but i really like heligoland bight
Great video and I completely agree
Cheers dude
For me I really like Heligoland. Its my favourite map
Agreed
I got some insane plays on that map
Fort de Vaux is more explosions then shotgun (and in Frontline mode is just a intense 1 hour CHAOS).
Passchendaele is phenomenal except its completely ruined by artillery trucks
Really? Ballroom blitz in 2nd place? are you serious?
Ranking Heligoland below Albion is a crime.
Wait, I have like 20+ hrs playing this game. I didn't know there are 29 maps on this game
