We have another question that needs answering today! Should we make line battle maps rotate more frequently in the official server map rotation? This means that you’ll be seeing them more often.
Linebattle maps such as Tahir Desert, Grassy Plains and Snowy Plains feature a lot of open spaces that allows players to organise and fight in formations. We’ll be introducing another map focusing on this style of gameplay in the next update!

Another set of line battle maps will be included in the rotation if we receive the go-ahead from the community. There needs to be 70% more ‘Yes’ than ‘No’ votes for this to pass.
An Overview Of The Map Rotation
Here’s how the map rotation on the official servers hosting the Army Battlefield game mode looks like.
- Sharpton (New Map Present In The Next Patch)
- Canyon
- Arendan River
- Highlands
- Tahir Desert (Linebattle Map)
- Fort Christina
- Crosshills
- Desert Ruins
- Spanish Farm
- Grassy Plains or Snowy Plains (Linebattle Maps)
Holdfast: NaW. The Next Update
You’ll be seeing at least two new maps, improvements to the free flight camera, the ability to go into melee combat while crouching, smoother transitions when going from running to aiming, other direct improvements towards melee combat and more.
This will only be the beginning of our work on improving the melee - There’ll be a lot more to come after the next patch.
Prussia! Community Vote
We’re quite sure that a lot of you are already aware that Prussia has passed the poll with almost a thousand votes from the community. We're extremely looking forward to starting work on this! You’ll be hearing more from us as soon as some other units we have planned for the existing British and French factions are finalised.
All we can say for now is that things will be getting relatively loud and glorious.
