The battle field was literally lifted from the floor of Foundry and fought in the air. Though you won't have time to notice it with the other team constantly trying to pin you down to gain the upper hand. I'm sure we all have a pretty vivid picture of trench warfare. The Battle of the Somme took place in a very exposed and largely flat expanse of land, with trenches providing cover. "No Mans Land" is the area between enemy trenches which was almost certain death to venture onto.
Don't think however, that this map will just involve camping in your teams trench and waiting for the enemy to pop their head out. To make sure the gameplay of the map flows, there are a lot of debris providing some cover, so the areas outside the trench are not certain death as they would have been in the real battle. The weaponry and equipment included on the map fit with the real weapons used in the battle, and are placed sensible and balanced.
