Top 5: The Best Historical Maps of Battlefield 1

Battlefield 1 has some great historical maps based on real-world locations. Which maps are the best when it comes to bringing the real-life locations to Battlefield 1? Here are my top 5 historically accurate maps for Battlefield 1. I gave DICE some leeway, since totally accurate maps would not be fun. They would be unbalanced.
Which is your favorite historical map in Battlefield 1? Tell me in the comments.

What's so special about you from others is the amount of history you bring to educate us about WWI. I've learned so much about WWI from you.

[@Flakfire]

Glad to hear, Jack!

Informative, Precise, and Professional! We can't ask for a better BF channel than Flakfire !

[@mishaDorjan]

I love the history, and you do it so well. Keep it up flak!

[@whiteboygaming-xt3ng]

I love this game so much one of my favorite games of all time dice really made a peice of history into art

[@mateuszjarosz2299]

You have the best bf1 channel

[@Flakfire]

Thanks dude! Sorry videos have been so slow to come out. Preparing for a baby. :)

[@mateuszjarosz2299]

Wow, congratulations.

[@CheuknamJ]

Flakfire always manages to make his content worth every second of his video, while most other BF channels drag on needlessly for the 10min mark, ending up with a bunch of ramblings and unnecessary jokes

[@brunor.1127]

We need a WW2 Battlefield... Just imagine Panthers vs T-34-85

[@ChevyChase301]

Soviete Onion light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, and tank destroyers should be the armor classes in the game. I’d love Ferdinand’s, tigers, and hellcats in the game

[@brunor.1127]

Nah... Ferdinands? Really? Nah... Maybe a PZ II? :)

[@ChevyChase301]

Soviete Onion for a German light tank sure but for a German tank destroyer a Ferdinand or stug

[@LearnedSophistry]

I actually went to that cathedral in St. Petersburg on my Russia trip back in 2016. When I first played the Tsaritsyn map I was shocked that there was a similar looking cathedral on that map

[@عبدالله-ن7ف4ي]

it's a favorite map i wish to visit it actually

[@thestørmcrier2024]

Also on Zeebrugge, if you look enough you can see the towns along the Belgian coast comprised of the generic buildings dice uses on maps. This is also on many other maps that are set near towns and gives a bit more of an attention loving feel to the game.

[@IrishSturmtruppenGodBlessUSA]

The greatest BF1 KZbinr, not just because he has amazing fuckin' quality, but he also actually teaches us about World War I.

[@bencatzilla]

best bf1 channel for info and opinions on the game, keep it up!

[@whiteboygaming-xt3ng]

Flak is just waiting patiently for BF ww2 to start his history videos and I'm here just waiting

[@ghuldorgrey]

I love this game so much

[@jokupelaaja7979]

Yeah. me too.

[@yankee3875]

One reason I love your channel so much is you know your history on the subject and talk about the history of the game and its features and as a hardcore history buff I really appreciate that

[@emanuelebonasia7152]

Monte Grappa

[@hidefiance]

www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/5axlpp/real_life_location_of_monte_grappa_map/?st=JEOY9UML&sh=9135616f Insane level of detail.

[@derMor97]

Smooth transition between real life and game cannon! Nicely done.

[@imnotcreative2214]

Cool video flakfire, also I like these mini documentaries that you do. I love history.

[@isaiahjennings2295]

Verdun heights and they bring vimy ridge and bellau wood to BF1as well

[@ChevyChase301]

Isaiah Jennings I hope they add Jutland with 4 dreadnoughts v 4 dreadnoughts

[@Southie]

You guys are expecting too much. They can't do major content anymore, but they will probably give some minor content like a night re-make of a map or a community map project.

[@brunor.1127]

Stahp

[@isaiahjennings2295]

all i want is the m1921 Thompson because the RSC SMG is absolute garbage and maybe the m1919 browing lmg

[@Southie]

Weapons crate dlc like in Battlefield 4? Very likely to happen, but don't expect major content like new free dlc's with 4 maps.

[@lejenddairy]

Zeebrugge is probably my favorite, historical map.

[@jordanfiveash3556]

As usual flak love the historical videos your a key element to what I watch on KZbin always being the first person I search thanks again love from Canada!

[@marktoribio8781]

I love passchendaele and verdun heights, they're visual spectacles for sure

[@TheBrickBaron]

I love your channel because of your interest in history! I really like when you point out these kind of details!

[@joereid84]

Nice I really like your videos of true to life history facts of the great war and how DICE replicated it in Battlefield 1 ;) keep up the videos

[@kb-eo3hp]

I was hopinig for prototype thomston in bf1

[@ChevyChase301]

I hope they remaster Albion with conquest assault, 2 destroyers and a airship for the Germans and 2 destroyers for the Russians

[@Flakfire]

Albion needs it.

[@ChevyChase301]

Flakfire and maybe 2 destroyers on Fao Fortress and a Char 2C on Sinai

[@Southie]

Char2C on Sinai? No, just no but I agree about Albion part.

[@DJReflect]

Another phenomenal video. Thanks Flakfire. 👏👏

[@d1ea]

[@itsdw2323]

BF1 is a great game. Can’t wait to see WW2. Imagine all the things we could see. The only thing I think bf1 messed up was not putting in any footage from ww1 as u did in this video.

[@FuckGoogle2]

It'll be all the same boxes ticked for guaranteed ticket sales, D-Day landing, Battle of Britain, Battle of Berlin, Battle of Stalingrad, heavy focus on the nazis but possibly not using that term or logo since you know EA=PC.

Tsaritsyn is the former name of Stalingrad! Its fascinating how it all connects. The city is now called Volgograd, obviously along the Volga river.

[@jbeers1234]

No Amiens?!?!

[@Flakfire]

I do love Amiens, and I know many people do as well. I just challenged myself to pick five, but I think DICE did a great job with Amiens, Monte Grappa, and even Verdun Heights.

Flakfire you should do some videos about yourself, for instance Q&A, just a suggestion

[@Flakfire]

It's on the list 👍

[@enregistreur]

For the Q&A : Are you somehow related to LevelCap ? You intro/outro has the same music (on another tone), same for your graphics, very similar in style. Maybe you had the same provider :D

I feel like nvivelle nights should be on here, because 1 it has the most no man's land and 2 because most offensives happened during the night, not to mention the use of landships, flares, and trench warfare

[@CapybaraConnoisseur89]

I went to this Chateux two years ago great place to walk around.

[@ellis3818]

Favourite KZbin channel

[@zeldalinkring1923]

But Ballroom blitz is supposed to be in the Argonne forest west of Varennes de Argonne. There isn’t a chateau for miles anywhere near Varennes de argonne. Also, it is supposed to be in the forest (west of Varennes de Argonne), so it should look more like Argonne forest. Even the village of Varennes de Argonne itself holds 15-20 small houses, not a chateau.

[@blackdimond115]

I love Verdun Heights. Mainly because I’m a sucker for the history of the battle but I just love the map.

[@elvisdepresley7647]

I want bf5 to be ww2, you have so many opportunities for famous vehicles such as: Tanks: Tiger, panther, Sherman, t34 just to name a few Planes: p51, spitfire, bf109, Lancaster, b17, b29, focke wolf, and many more Boats I don't know many but I bet dice could easily find some Guns: oh there are too many to name, but a few of the famous ones: Lee Enfield, tompson, mp40, kar98, mg42 and browning 50 and 30 cal Behemoths could be the standard dreadnought or like a b29 or even another train. It would be pretty dope and dice would not only show cod how to make a ww2 game but will make many people happy. Love ya flakfire

[@winocbear4399]

Awesome vid 👌

[@Dimitri-tq8ti]

Hello guys,thanks for all of the informations you showed us and my favorite historical map is(in the name of tsar)

[@sc00ter614]

Hey FlakFire, I’m curious to know what’s your opinion on the rumors that DICE will be revisiting WW II in it’s next game seeing as DICE really puts a lot of effort into the educational material introduced in Battlefield 1. I was really hoping that the next setting would be Vietnam as it’s now become a war that many people think is now the time to revisit it and talk about what went wrong. After watching Ken Burns documentary on the Vietnam War I was eager to play out some of those battles in an interactive video game! Anyway love the channel & keep up the great work! Thanks! 👍🏾

[@maximilianbeyer9268]

For me, monte grappa is one of thw best and most accurate maps. When hiking on the passo di falzarego, you can even make out specific trenches and locations in the game.

[@chedwick4340]

Can't wait to see the 5 best modern maps and 5 best future maps of battlefield 1

[@TheJazzGuy75]

My favorite maps historically have to be the Somme and Soissons. They really are a testament to the battle that were fought there.

[@slimjim8736]

argonne forest is amazing and fhere was a battle there back in ww1 would have loved to see more mortar fire coming from the verdun map

[@charlesthemilkman512]

My top 5 historical wise are St quentin, cape helles, galicia,fort vaux and river somme. Gameplay wise is St quentin, cape helles, achi baba, heligoland and fort vaux. Atmosphere wise is St quentin, fort vaux, passchendaele, verdun heights and river somme.

[@richardbeard3916]

I think that the best most well designed maps is Verdun heights and passhendale and also rupture those maps and there history is fascinating hope the next battlefield game has the amount of detail as this one does

[@Sin1s_ter]

Scary Facts About The Royale Navy and Germany Navy Maps: -Some Casualties Of Navy was Caused By Sharks and Predator Sea Creatures -Sometimes, There was Huge Waves That Drowned Many C-Class Destroyers and Many Boats -If The Soldiers Ran out of Food And Water, They Would Get food and water From Waters That were Polluted Due to the Shells, Bullets, Wreckages, And Smoke which Poisoned Fish and Eco System Which also Led to Poising Starving And Thirsty Soldiers -There Were alot of Bombs In World War 1 and World War 2 that in 20th Century, Some people Found Live bombs Especially Near the Shores Of Gallipoli, Mostly Between Great Britian And France -Durning Operation Overlord ( D-DAY ), Some Boats and Ships Suffered Problems Due to the Sea mines and Wreckages from World War 1

[@bubbamike4743]

Hey flak I have an idea for a video. Top 5 best trench maps. I would look to the French DLC and Apocalypse for ideas

[@Flakfire]

Good idea!

[@r3ddirtr8r28]

Battlefield one was just beautiful. I still play it every day. Unfortunately, greed, and the desire to turn a constant new game for new bucks is going to take precedence over beautiful historical games like this one.

[@Nikkivaldheks]

I love Argonne Forest, if you have heard about the lost battalion, thats what i feel like when playing the map. second comes fort vaux and third i would place the entire gallipoli campaign.

[@kaporalkretin8708]

Heh, it's funny to know that a lot of people play on a location (Fort de Vaux) that ain't so far from me. If anyone wants to visit Verdun go check their WW1 Museum they have a lot of things you can recognize thanks to BF1, like a TankGewehr and stuff.

[@jrapcdaikari]

Nivelle Nights, St. Quentin Scar, and Argonne Forest; these maps cause me to use Iron-Sighted Bolt-Action Rifles regardless

[@debbienorris2867]

I wished they made a trench gamemode, it wouod take place on maps like nivelle nights and the premise is either side has to either charge at the enemy or defend from the enemy, kinda like conquest but your limited to trenches.

[@nisimshushan8385]

Hi flakfire! Actually in french, Chantilly is pronounced Chantee-yeeh

[@jameshanes1595]

What about that new map that starts with a c and London (air assault)

[@mohammedosman5504]

They need to bring Arras and first battle of cambrai in the base game. Plus battle of tannelburg in the name of the tsar dlc.

[@zeplyn-r6]

wow ballrom blitz and that cathedral are so similar

[@christian.xavier.villagran]

please make more parts and include apocalypse maps if you can.

[@Panzersoldaten]

Fun fact: Tsaritsyn would be the place of the bloodiest battler ever and the name was changed after the Russian civil war to Stalingrad

[@siricortana9550]

How do you get the footages like those at 1:13, 3:05, 3:54, 4:12, 4:42, 4:51, 5:25, 5:56? I want to see such impressive views of the maps in BF1, but I don't know how to.

[@mursac1959]

They did a good job with ballroom blitz, but it's annoying to play for certain "reasons". My apologies to the french, but I really wish dice had made the supports beneath the upper walk ways destructible so we could blast the floor out from under all those damned snipers.

[@douglasmodesto168]

Hey Flak.. (I know you already told us but) Where do you find these images and maps? That would be truly helpful for my college researches :)

[@Flakfire]

Which ones in particular are you interested in?

[@douglasmodesto168]

In the video I liked the map of the invasion of Cape Helles .. As my goal will be to talk about war in Europe as a dispute in several different scenarios (beaches, mountains, plains), this kind of photo / map would help a lot By the way, I loved that photo you shared of an artillery in the Alps in the middle of the ice ..

[@Flakfire]

I believe the map is from wikimedia commons. For Austro-Hungarian stuff: bildarchiv.at French things: gallica.bnf.fr American and a bit of everywhere else: catalog.archives.gov/advancedsearch

[@CK-il8wy]

I love Heligoland Bight and Suez Canal.

[@teacuppigstudios1092]

My favorite for history is the Argon forest

[@joanthiesen9458]

Ahhh D-Day, June 6th 1944. If the next game is WW2 they need to include Operation Overlord.
