My first impressions of the new night map - Prise de Tahure are that it certainly offers a different kind of experience to any other map we've seen in Battlefield 1 to date.

The tense close quarters combat of urban warfare is further intensified by the fact that this is a night map. Not being able to see everything properly works both ways and can make it harder to hit your enemies while also allowing you to evade them more easily.

Aiming down sights becomes very challenging in the dark since the muzzle flash of your gun is blinding to the point of making it impossible to track your targets once you start shooting. This gives the close range hip-fire weapons of the assault class an even greater advantage than they would already have on a city map. Getting the lighting right is key to making a night map enjoyable and I hope that there will be some adjustments made to the map before release.

Each side only has access to two vehicles, one tank and one armoured car, making this a very infantry focused map.

Terrain varies from mostly ruined buildings and streets towards the German side of the map and more open and intact areas on the French side, providing some variation in engagement distances.

All in all, the surroundings in this map are striking and offer players a style of combat that is new and different to any of the previous maps. The advantage that the assault class hip-fire guns get may not be to everyone's liking but with a few tweaks to the lighting other weapons should become more viable.

If frantic, close ranged combat with flags that are easy to take but very difficult to defend is your kind of thing, this map will be a blast!
