“Hamada” is Arabic for a barren landscape of gravel and bare rock, and it perfectly describes the map. A towering aqueduct-like bridge spans the dry ravine, one of the few signs that remain of a once-thriving civilization. There was life here, once, too – now all lies in ruins and rubble, ground to dust beneath tank treads and infantry boots.
Battlefield V Hamada is one of two Battlefield V maps set in North Africa (the other being Aerodrome) and inspired by a strategic point between Libya and Egypt. This area was the scene of pivotal battles between the Axis and Allies during 1941 and 1942.
