An incredible look at how Rotterdam changed since Battlefield 5

If you ever have the chance to come across the subreddit on Battlefield 5 these days, you most likely to have passed by some arguments on whether the next game is a matter-of-fact, or not. There have been some concerns about the accessories of the game, especially about the addition of characters from women and black, and altered the game from its challenging purposes.

When taking a closer look at the map of Battlefield’s Rotterdam, there turned out not much to be argued on. Zoe, a travel blogger, the co-owner of Together in Transit, shared a variety of photos and screenshots of the two, dishing out the closeness of them. It is noticeable that DICE has put efforts and time in researching this Dutch beautiful city for passion, since the gorgeous aspects of the city all appeared in their work, the trams, the replica of famous Erasmus statue.

Rotterdam Google Cropped — Versus real map

In fact, the game with its ‘realistic’ buildings has some amazing historical facts within it. On Zoe’s blog, she stated that the Laurenskerk church in the first set of photos accordingly, was brave enough to sustain the war. For safety purpose, its stunning stained glass windows were secretly removed prior to the bombings, and then finally put again when the war was gone.

During that time, The Witte Huis made up a tactical significance of Rotterdam. Due to its being the tallest building in Europe at that time, the Dutch army used it as a sniper point during the battle. The bullet holes in the building are the solid proof of history.

Zoe said that this was the map that she played recently over the beta weekend, which presented the closeness between the game and her hometown, encouraged her to do the photo-taking. She was impressed by the reality of the map that DICE have mad. “The map has unique features and resembles the “ancient Rotterdam” from the time prior to the bombard.”
