What to study

Broken Arrow picks its battlefield from pictures, not a dropdown: fifteen satellite thumbnails in a grid, each named, with the hovered map getting a full-width orange Select bar. The modal floats over the live lobby instead of replacing it, so the team columns stay visible behind the choice — the map decision and the team decision stay in the same view. Frame at 0:46 in the Gameplay Trailer (Steam). Classified campaign-map per the War for the Overworld Map Selection precedent.
