Ballroom Blitz is a Battlefield 1 launch map built around a grand French chateau and the grounds, woods and railway cutting that surround it, with the ballroom itself as the central objective. It opens the Conquer Hell Operation, the American attack through the Argonne.

Ballroom Blitz pairs a palatial interior with open grounds: the chateau’s ballroom and halls are a close-quarters fight, the gardens, orchard and rail cutting outside are where tanks and cavalry operate. The Armoured Train runs along the cutting at the edge. It is a balanced map with a bit of everything, and one of the launch maps that aged best in community opinion.

As the first map of Conquer Hell, the Americans attack from the rail yard toward the chateau before pushing on into Argonne Forest.

The ballroom is the fight everyone remembers: shotguns, grenades and the chandeliers coming down. Hold it with Support and Medic, attack it through the side wings rather than the front doors. Outside, tanks take the garden flags but die in the orchard to Assault players with anti-tank grenades. Scouts on the chateau roof see the whole grounds. The train is a late-round equaliser for the losing side.
