Hamada is Battlefield V’s Sinai: sand, rock, long distances and tanks. A wadi cuts the map in two with a bridge across it, a village sits at one end and a fort at the other, and the plateau between is open ground where armour and aircraft decide the round. It is the map most criticised for walking distances and most praised by tank crews.
It pairs with Aerodrome in the North Africa Grand Operation.

Stay with the tanks or stay in the wadi. The wadi is the infantry route across the map and the place to ambush armour from. The bridge is the chokepoint; blow it or hold it. Aircraft are strong over the plateau and anti-aircraft positions at the village and fort are the counter. A squad in a half-track covers the distances that a squad on foot cannot.
The archived Hamada threads on this site are dominated by two complaints, walking distances and aircraft, and one piece of advice that still holds: spawn on the squad’s vehicle, never at the base.
