Fans of the Battlefield franchise were recently treated to a new trailer for the upcoming entry. Many players are ready to take their talents to World War 2, which is the time the game is based off of. That said, the latest Battlefield V trailer has received a nice breakdown from one of the game’s writers.

In a post on the game’s website, Battlefield V writer Jeff Landa covered everything from the chaos in the streets of Rotterdam to the little battle royale tease shown at the end of the video. Speaking of which, let’s go ahead and watch that again before jumping in:

“What briefly appears as a blissful panorama is quickly marred by the haze and smoke in the distance, emanating from the embattled streets of Rotterdam,” Landa said. He goes on to say that this is the first of four maps that are shown off in the trailer. “The Rotterdam map is influenced by the imperiled city in Holland during May 1940, where the German invading forces met fierce opposition from the Dutch military,” he continued.

Movement will be key when attempting to take down the opposition in Battlefield V. “The jumping, sliding, and vaulting seen in the trailer is one example of improved soldier movement that allows you to better navigate every battlefield and lead a squad to an objective,” Landa said. He also went on to talk about strategy and how “playing the objective together reaps heavy-duty Reinforcements.” The example of this is that insane V-1 rocket that absolutely destroys a building around the 0:34 mark in the video above.

That brings us to the Devastation Map. It’s Rotterdam, but beyond repair. “The map is inspired by the second half of the Rotterdam blitz by the German forces,” he said. “While the Rotterdam map shows the city at the start of the attack, Devastation recreates the terrible aftermath of intensive bombardments. The ruined streets are built with dynamic destruction. No matter what destroys a building, different parts of it will crack, move, and crumble over time, making destruction more realistic than ever.”

It is also noted that Battlefield V has done away with the spot button spamming of yesteryear. No more “pesky icons that followed spotted enemies around the map.” Instead, players will be able to “spot enemies, or teammates can send up flares to notify their squad of the opposition’s last known location. Aircraft can also drop flares from above to temporarily illuminate enemies in the ground.”

“The once-serene French countryside is the location for the next Battlefield V map, Twisted Steel,” the description reads. “Set during the initial invasion of France, Twisted Steel is defined by open marshes and sporadic dense thickets of trees. Torrents of gunfire have flooded the soil with shell casings, shrapnel, and the assorted litter of war.”

Also, see that massive bridge just chilling the background? Landa noted that it is “the biggest structure ever modeled in a Battlefield game.” Well, that is certainly impressive, and it just goes to show how big this game is going to be.

This brings us to the last of the four maps shown in the Battlefield V trailer. Hamada is set to be “one of two North Africa maps available at launch.” Turns out that this map draws inspiration from “a strategic point between Libya and Egypt and the scene of pivotal battles between the Axis and Allies during 1941 and 1942.”

The vehicles shown off in the trailer were also included in the breakdown. “Seen from the cockpit of an advancing tank or from the planes diving through fiery plumes of smoke, players can upgrade these vehicles and aircraft to fit their playstyle,” Landa said. After the game launches, players will also be able to customize how their vehicles look, so that’s definitely something to look forward to.

The battle royale part seen at the end of the Battlefield V trailer was intense. It showed an actual ring of fire closing in on remaining combatants at a rapid pace. However, what it didn’t show is the actual size of the map players will be fighting on. Either way, we at least know that tanks will be present, and that should make things pretty interesting. Unfortunately, Landa wasn’t vocal about any specifics, but he did note that “battle royale will never be the same.” How ominous.

Battlefield V is set to arrive on October 19th for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as this story develops, and for other gaming goodness going on right now, check out the following:
