One map in particular, “Verdun Heights,” is awe-inspiring. Taking place in the immediate aftermath of the Verdun shelling, the forest in and around the battlefield is engulfed in flames. There’s also a Howitzer in one of the bases, so expect artillery to pound down around you as you helplessly sprint through trenches.
