Twisted Steel is a Battlefield V launch map set around a huge collapsed steel bridge over French marshland, with the bridge’s wreckage as the central objective and the marsh, a village and a farm around it. It is the map most associated with the game’s 2018 trailer and with long-range Recon play.

The bridge is the map. Its twisted girders rise over the marsh and can be climbed and fought through, giving a vertical infantry battle in the middle of a wet, open map. Around it, flags sit in a village, a farm and the marsh itself, where tanks slow down and infantry wades. Aircraft are strong because the sightlines are long.
It appeared in the reveal trailer and the open beta, so it is the Battlefield V map most players saw first.

Hold the bridge and you see everything; hold only the bridge and you lose everything else. The best squads take the bridge with Medics and Support, then push the marsh flags with tanks while a Recon on the girders spots. Tanks in the marsh are slow targets for Assault players with Panzerfausts. The village is the map’s one conventional infantry fight.
The archived launch-week threads on this site single it out as the map where the new fortification system made the most difference, because sandbags on the bridge approaches turn an exposed climb into a defensible one.
