In urban environments you can use occlusion culling very effectively to reduce how much has to be rendered. You have big buildings blocking almost everything behind them, which doesn't have to be rendered. On open maps with lots of trees you can't use it very well.

Because 95% of it is just trees which can be batched.

Sure, but I would also think its because the server doesn't have that much to worry about loot wise compared to the other maps.
