This Battlefield™ V map is the stage for an impromptu metropolitan frontline in the war against invading enemy forces. The train cars have been commandeered as makeshift defenses, and the windows of a multi-story building are now opportunities to ambush foes patrolling the maze of streets below.

The Rotterdam map is inspired by an unfamiliar conflict of World War 2, set in May 1940. Expecting little resistance, the German military pushed through the city of Rotterdam, but were met by fierce opposition from the Dutch military.

The Battlefield V Rotterdam map is inspired by an unfamiliar conflict of World War 2, set in May 1940. Expecting little resistance, the German military pushed through the city of Rotterdam, but were met by fierce opposition from the Dutch military.

This overview is specific to the Conquest mode, the most popular and iconic in the Battlefield series. But these tips are designed to help players succeed in any mode on the Devastation map.

Play-style
Consider Rotterdam a spiritual successor to the Battlefield 3 Seine Crossing map with a hint of Amiens from Battlefield 1. It’s an urban environment decorated by canals, tall buildings, and a marketplace that no longer soothes pedestrians but preludes close-quarter firefights. The railway provides an elevated position to move across the map or oversee choke points with a ranged weapon from east to west – but is still dangerous if you don’t keep an eye on the railcar next to you.

Wide main roads support vehicular combat, and narrow alleys are where players discover who’s the better squad. The not-yet destroyed Rotterdam allows more room for vehicles than its counterpart, Devastation.

Available Game Modes
Rotterdam offers players the opportunity to take on a wide variety of modes, including:

*Airborne – Parachute on to the battlefield and spearhead an invasion or scramble to defend and fortify your positions from the oncoming attack.
*Breakthrough – Fight to control sectors as an attacker and push the enemy back to claim vital ground in this intense mode.
*Conquest – An all-time Battlefield classic, this vast game mode includes up to 64 players who battle for control of key locations on the map.
*Domination – Fast-paced, infantry-based combat in close quarters where you’ll see the enemy up close and personal and where the fighting revolves around significant strategic objectives.
*Frontlines – An intense tug-of-war battle where one single key area at a time is contested.
*Team Deathmatch – Kill or be killed is the name of the game; inflict as many casualties on the enemy as possible to emerge victorious.

Day one and two of the Battle of Holland Grand Operation are settled here, with day three and four resolved on the bombed-out Devastation map. Grand Operations are the ultimate multiplayer experience that takes players across fictional in-operation “days,” where each day is represented by a round played on a combination of a map and mode that brings the war narrative to life. The actions you, your squad, and your team take on day one will impact gameplay in day two, as well as day three, and so on.
