Quentin Scar is a multiplayer map featured in Battlefield 1. Quentin , during the initial stages of the major German offensive Operation Michael , located in Northern France, where German troops attempt to push through British defenses.
This map was featured in the closed alpha of Battlefield 1. On January 10, , the gamemode Frontlines was officially supported on St. Quentin Scar. Quentin Scar takes place in a rural stretch of the French countryside. The village of Travecy sits directly in the map center, with other objectives on the outskirts connected by roads to the main service route running horizontally along the map's center.
As the map is situated on the front-line, the contrast between the brown smudge of trenches, shell craters and scorched earth to the north-east, the grassy green farmland of the south-west and the grey blocks of the town between the two is immediately visible, with terrain changing considerably as one traverses the map. Amiens and its cathedral can be seen engulfed in smoke in the distance to the south-west.
The Behemoth of this map is the Airship L30 , spawning over the respective team's deployment. Combat during Conquest on St. Quentin Scar is diverseβthe gently rolling hills, fields and roads of the map outskirts provide open sightlines suited to long range and armored vehicle gameplay in the gaps between objectives, while the highly urbanized terrain of the map centerpiece and the objectives themselves often cater to close-quarters infantry combat, forming a trap for any tanks following the main road through the town.
The abundance of available aircraft round out the combined arms experience. There are six objectives in Conquest. In Conquest, the British Empire spawns on the southern edge and the German Empire on the northern edge. The German team starts within a set of battered fortifications of Petticoat Trench to the north-east. A morass of trenches and pillboxes span the churned landscape, with barrage balloons listing above the lines. A muddy road winds south-east past the closest objective, Venture Farm, towards the crossroads outside the Travecy Abbey.
