    and for some reason I can only play one game mode conquest and on 64 player servers only, other servers and modes are laggy as hell. I'm happy I didn't pay full price for this game.    … Expand

    Are you kidding me?
    It doesn't feel like you are playing battlefield game.
    Great graphics, terrible single player game play.
    It is like Witcher 3. Overrated boring game.

    I miss Batllefield Bad company 2. It was the best.....

    Don't fall for the HYPE! Casual gameplay for kids!

    Its just another marketing trick. Battlefield1 is simply Battlefront with other skins. Compared to Battlefield4 or even 3 this is just a mediocre overhyped markting bullcrap. Honestly, they say Battlefield1 because of WW1, but this is probably the biggest insult to all of the fallen soldiers in WW1 in terms of media coverage.    Don't fall for the HYPE!

    Expect to get bored of this game really fast. It is made for casuals. This is a real review from a real gamer with standards unlike the casuals that continue to give perfect scores to Battlefield 1. This game has way too many flaws to be anything close to an 8 let alone a 10.

    Content: The game lacks content. No hardcore. I dont care if it's delivered later. It should be in the game    Expect to get bored of this game really fast. It is made for casuals. This is a real review from a real gamer with standards unlike the casuals that continue to give perfect scores to Battlefield 1. This game has way too many flaws to be anything close to an 8 let alone a 10.

    Content:
    The game lacks content. No hardcore. I dont care if it's delivered later. It should be in the game already. That's lazy and it smells just like the EA MODEL which is $$$$$$$. Progression is very slow and very unrewarding. Lack of customization. These dtails alone remove any 10/10 scores given to the game.

    Gameplay:
    While new mode operations is a fun mix between rush and conquest it is still yet another sniper fest. Every map in almost all game modes encourages sniper play. Snipers are ROLFSTOMPING other players with martini henry. Medic is overpowered. Assault is basically a dummy. Support is completely useless.

    The worse part is that the game get boring VERY FAST. Check out the official forums. Hundreds of players are reporting that they only play 1-2 hours and get bored. They love the game but that's all they play. That tells you right there the game was made for casuals. People that only put in a small amount of time into the game then get bored and move on.

    Battlefield 1 is the most casual game ever made. For the love of God STOP comparing this game to bad company 2. Bad company 2 was a masterpiece. The best game in the series. The most balanced game in the FPS genre. Battlefield 1 is the most unbalanced, buggy, and casual game in the series.

    Gunplay:
    The most terrible gun mechanics I have ever seen. You are more accurate running and hip firing then you are standing still. Guns give out pathetic damage and soldiers are bullet sponges eating it all up. Some guns have recoil EVEN BEFORE YOU FIRE THE FIRST BULLET. LMGs are completely worthless. I mean the list goes on and on.

    Map design:
    Most maps are made for sniper play. Probably to cater to the COD crowd that moved on from call of duty.

    Skill:
    Skill has been removed from the game. People are averaging Kill Death Ratios of over 20.00!!!! Unlike previous battlefields, the average player in BF1 will finish the game with a 67-2 kill/death. This game is extremely easy even for someone who just joined. I have been playing since the release of BF2. Battlefield games have always had a nice learning curve. You don't just walk in this game and are automatically good. That happens in BF1. Players are reporting that they were terrible players before but not they average high KDs. I, for example, have never liked snipers and I finished one game 43-1 as a sniper in BF1. I have always been a terrible sniper. And yet this happens? I doubt that other players suck that badly. No, the game is just too easy.

    Vehicles:
    Light tank got nerfed into oblivion. Planes are useless and the AA gun is beyond overpowered. Its range reaches way across the maps!!!! Cavalry is still overpowered. You are shot with almost a full clip and you dont die but you swing your sword and you one shot kill your opponent LMFAO give me a break.

    This game is AT BEST a 6/10. There's no way this is in the league of bad company 2 or BF2 or BF3 or even BF4. You guys reviewing this game giving it a 10/10 have ZERO standards. You've no idea what a good battlefield game is. If you did, you'd know that BF1 is absolute casual trash compared to games like BF2 and Bad Company 2.    … Expand

    I really wanted to love this game. It looks beautiful and the sound is stunning, but putting that aside you have gun play (which a first person shooter is based around) that is absolutely terrible. Basically spray and prey guns which appear to be designed for people who can't aim except for scout (recon) leaving you with a roll the dice mechanic on who dies.

    Well if you saw the score you already know I don't like this game.
    That's not to say that I don't see any positives or don't think it might be 'ok' for some to buy so please read on before making your decision on my review.

    That's not to say that I don't see any positives or don't think it might be 'ok' for some to buy so please read on before making your decision on my review.

    First let's start with the Positives:
    + Really fantastic graphics.
    + Destructible environments. It's fun to get a sniper out of that house by blowing it to bits with a tank or mortars!
    + Generally stable servers which will only improve further with some fine tuning.
    + Innovative battle modes where you push enemy back and another map loads and you play that one in a sort of tug of war which makes the game feel like it has bigger picture consequences.
    + Despite what some may say, a pretty wide array of weapons considering it's WW1 and IRL each country had only one or two bolt action rifles which 95% of soldiers carried. So they did a good job of 'digging up' extra realism based weapons to include.
    + A couple decent support roles for those who want to do something besides get kills all the time. Support and Medic can both be very useful to the team.
    + It fills a gap in an otherwise stale genre. Let's face it COD has been basically the same game for 10 years now with map packs and a few tweaks being sold as new games. And not really much else besides CS which has been the same game for 15+ years.

    Now the Negatives:
    - As of game release day 1, the game is absolutely loaded with cheaters. Bring up the chat in any map and just watch a few minutes and you'll see people getting 'banned'. Several per match. Which is quite surprising so early in a game's release cycle.
    - Cheaters are not permanently banned! Why oh why would the developers make the decision not to invalidate a CD key I have no idea. I've seen several threads on the topic in the official game forums and the devs feel it would be too 'hard' on paying players. Wow! So they're more concerned with the cash flows from the cheaters than from the paying players?! OK! Anyway, someone gets 'banned' and they'll be right back in a matter of minutes.
    - Guns have no stopping power so only the very last bullet which kills them makes any difference whatsoever to their ability to spaztically run all over, evading your last bullet, and shoot back, greatly favoring twitch reflexes over strategy an tactics.
    - The most solo unfriendly shooter in history. No FF (Friendly Fire) means mic'd up squads of move in one 'mass' and throw out enough lead to mow down any player in their way. As a solo player, you'll be faced 1v5 most every time you see the enemy (though you do have the option to sit back and play sniper). And arguably this does provide some real value to players who like to buddy up.
    - Overall the guns are just 'weird' compared to any other shooter. The closest I can compare it to is Planetside which also doesn't feel like a 'real' shooter if classic play style is your preference. Personally I found all the guns except the sniper rifles just lacked an 'oomf', and had no sense of real power or damage when hitting.
    - Sound. Though the sounds are generally pretty good. It takes an extremely expensive or extremely loud sound system to be able to hear footsteps. Some say its OK, others have the same complaint. Really depends on your system and config. With my headphones I can't hear a damn thing until the very last step which doesn't matter anyway because you're already knifed.

    Overall: I think the game does a lot right. But more cheaters than I've seen in any FPS getting kicked from literally every match, an extreme unfriendliness to solo players, weak feeling guns with no sense of impact, and way too silent footsteps which means more knife deaths from behind than you can count all conspire to bring down what could otherwise be a great game.

    If the developers change their stance on permanently banning cheaters I might have another look. Until then, I'll pass.    … Expand

    Better than Battlefield 4, but that doesn't say much. With some friends, it can sometimes be quite fun, and I actually got a bit of Red Orchestra vibes from playing this.

    So why does Battlefield still suck? The game has about as much to do with World War I as the Black guy on the poster.

    So why does Battlefield still suck?

    The game has about as much to do with World War I as the Black guy on the poster. There is zero trench warfare, and nearly all the weapons are automatic or semi-automatic. In other words, it's still a game for the braindead people who don't have a clue.

    DICE's philosophy of game design seems to be on the same level as their political philosophy: they want to equalize everything. The game punishes skill and rewards reckless play. Try reviving your teammates and you get instantly killed. Try supporting your teammates with machinegun fire and you get instantly killed. Try doing anything except running around like a chicken on fire, and you get instantly killed.

    If that isn't enough, the game now rewards the losing team with a giant equalizer in the form of a huge airship that can more or less kill anything at any spot on the map. So we now have 100% equal gameplay with noone being able to be better than the other. Which is pretty boring for someone who wants more than explosions and nifty sound effects.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a someone who started with 1942 and toped that game about some 2000 hours i am dissapointed with what DICE has been shoveling games with these day's.

    The game is NOT interesting..at all!
    In the 45 minutes i played this game half of my team was running and gunning pew pewing with LMG'all over the map just ignoring the objectives and the other half was on top of some mountain sniping.Netcode of the game is still FUBAR as you never know who shot you from where and if you rely on the killcam most of the shots/kills are impossible to make ,so in my opinion you would never know is if the player who shot you legit/aimboter/or the killcam is (again)not working properly.

    Refunded after one hour and dissapointed that DICE failed yet again in making an enjoyable game i was hoping for.
    Sad as i am that the glorious day's of 1942,Battlefield 2 and 2142 are long gone i would never recomend this game to anyone.
    Teenagers on the other hand seems to like it it and can't get enough of!

    You have no reason to play this game, sure at some point its ok to shoot a bit around but it feels like you dont have to. Its boring.
    No progress or reason to play more than a few rounds. The shooting feels akward, like the bullets behave strange, the hitboxes are strange wich results in a high ttk. (not a bad thing for me) Two shots in    I got this game for free, but still not worth it.

    The shooting feels akward, like the bullets behave strange, the hitboxes are strange wich results in a high ttk. (not a bad thing for me) Two shots in the chest does the same dmg as two shots in the head, 75 of 100.
    Some walls just crumble appart and some can stand all tank shots.
    Speaking of tanks, Horses can take more shots than a tank and the rider is magicaly immune to bulleds while riding.
    It is now a bit older, but still it feels like the devs released it, and start working on the next title.
    Of every Battlefields ive played it, this was the most unbalanced, 1 of 3 games is a stomp match where the best player of the one side would be one of the worst of the other side.
    The Matchmaking is terrible. I think it puts the team together by name or just random, no balance in MMR or even Level. i once had a game where my whole team was between level 5 and 20 and the enemy team everyonem was above level 50. (wich has nothing to say but the game results showed me otherwise)
    And still glitches, bugs and espesially cheaters are a common sight, battlefield and cheaters are always comming together and EA refuse to do something against it, even support it by making it nearly impossible to report cheaters. This game is arround 5 years old and still players asking ingame how to report cheaters.
    its good the vehicles are not that overpowered (if they get focues).
    On the tech side, it still somehow manages to mess up my system. i have a good, new PC and still the FPS are not good, constand low FPS or FPS drops are also common by me and my friends and the loadings times are long combined with some crashes every few days.
    With the terrible Gun feeling they maybe wantet to show that Guns in WW1 had not the accuracy of a laser, but it stills feels bad.
    Sure the battlefield feeling is still there, but it is more frustrating than fun.

Shooting mechanic is also absolutely horrible, it's impossible to hit the enemy while he's moving because of bullet taking time to fly. This game also doesn't have any bots which I think can make the game more entertaining for players who don't want to become cybersportsmen.

For some it will be realistic, but when on the other end of the map a guy with a machine gun on a bipod shoots at you without recoil, in my opinion, this is not realism. I want to play the game, not to hone the recoil of the cannon and not hide from the machine guns in the impenetrable bushes, I want to have fun playing the game. For me personally, realism is not so important to me as emotions from gameplay, and such factors as 'Realistic weapons' or 'Game conventions' are not at all interesting to me. Also in this game, in order to open a weapon, you must grind. This is certainly not a minus, but not a plus either. So my conclusion is: if you want to relax, this game is not suitable for you.

Game has very beautiful graphics, map design is ok.. game mechanics, specially gun mechanics are very bad, yet more frustrating. As an experienced player with more then years of gaming experience, my stake on BF1 is barely casual gameplay, tactically nullified experience. Tactics and thinking in this game isnt giving players an edge.. you can take strategic position, see an enemy in an open field, totally flanked start firing with all the recoil compensation as possible and its better if you had run straight at enemy shooting smg from the hip 30-40 meters away, cuz it wont make a difference. Game is basically how much you horde and how much lead you shoot out + revive, its disappointing. From a game that had recoil and spread pattern for every individual weapon of its own you get to play a game where only sniper hits where it actually aims. If you want to do good forget about this game, if you however take it as like to fly around in pieces by overly packed enemies and explosives while enjoying graphics, well this is your game for doing good isnt rewarding, being experienced is even less rewarding. Games arent what they have been, at least FPS shooting is bad, its all hype, so im considering for a long time now to play singleplayer only, its getting on my nerves anyway. BF1 did good in one, to open my eyes and realize that pointing and shooting is different from aiming and shooting, the thing i wont sure forget lol    … Expand

    There is nothing more soulcrushing than gank 2-3 people, then 6 seconds later during your reload, they run you over again because their 3 man was hiding 4 meters away... This is the most idiotic system I have ever seen.

    4: Killcam is implemented... What???? So now, even if I do not play sniper, you can not find a good position and start supporting your team, because the first you kill, will see your position and retaliate.
    I've done it countless times agains them snipersbastards

    5: Spot in game.. You can click a button, and spot your enemies so they appear as a red mark all over the map... This is so broken that its not even funny... I have no idea how many times I click the button, but nothing happes. Even he is 20-30 meters away from me. This just needs to go.

    6: Medics revive a teammember to full healt... What the acutal f..k?
    This needs to be changed to 1 hp only, and the reciepient of a revive can not gain healing or shoot weapon for 10-20 seconds. (Or shoot weapon one time, and then die again from the recoil)
    The annoyance of you shooting someone dead, to have them be revived 2 seconds later at full health is utterly bull****.

    These are the top most annoying, gamebreaking, soulcrushing issues that does not make the game what it should be.    … Expand

    But **** me do the accuracy, bugs ruin this games fun.

    I have NEVER had a single multiplayer match without being ****ing pissed at the games ultimate decisions.

    Let's go over to the bugs:
    - Medkit pack not having physics so its just a placeable that ALWAYS bugs out when prone
    - When you get revived it says you are holding a gun but in reality its just an equipment (this has ****ed me over multiple times)
    - Accuracy system (the bullets never go where I am pointing the gun, it's literal trash)
    - "Teamkilling" when stabbing an enemy turned teammate. This has happened to me just twice but still is stupid as hell
    - Terrible collision (Basically when firing the gun it hits an invisible object in front of you, this has happened to me way too many times I can count).

    Now let's go over to Dice's terrible decision making:
    - Store system, like what the hell. You first have to unlock the damn item, and then you have to buy it. That's not it, there are DIFFERENT variants of your gun. Why not have simple attachment system like you did in battlefield3/4? This could have been prevented if they had a mastery level system for the gun but nooooo
    - Armored trains/Behemoth, are simply the most unbalanced piece of living crap I have ever experienced. IT always goes to the losing team and when they do they turn the battle around till we **** our pants of rage. My team got shredded when the armored train in the desert map arrived, and we lost the entire match because of it's stupid ass design.
    - Accuracy system (again)
    - Hitboxes
    - The new kit mastery system
    - RNG boxes

    I really wanted to like this game but it has a LOT of flaws.
    Anyways there are plus sides of this game:

    - Finally a decent World War 1 game.
    - Amazing graphics
    - NO BATTLELOG?
    - Interesting campaign concept    … Expand

    The multiplayer is laggy as hell, and the balance of weapons are completely broken, buy if you like spawn camping, which is too boring and weak for my tastes. Should the gameplay and multiplayer improves with later patches, the experience would have been much smoother, til then shelved with other no fun titles.

MASSIVE frame drops, I have a gtx970 and I was in 60fps in medium settings... to drop to 30fps every 40 seconds or so, absolute garbage.

    When I first saw the trailer for Battlefield 1 I was ecstatic. The game looked like it was going to be an immersive experience taking place in a setting that was very unfamiliar to gamers, World War 1. The story trailer depicted the horrors of combat during the war, and showed the main character visually shaken as they struggled to survive in the bloody conflict around them. The trailerWhen I first saw the trailer for Battlefield 1 I was ecstatic. The game looked like it was going to be an immersive experience taking place in a setting that was very unfamiliar to gamers, World War 1. The story trailer depicted the horrors of combat during the war, and showed the main character visually shaken as they struggled to survive in the bloody conflict around them. The trailer depicted a Battlefield game that would have a meaningful story. So I purchased it and downloaded it as soon as I could.
    The first mission was an awesome experience. The player faced off against waves of German soldiers who continuously encroached further and further. When the player died, instead of respawning, the name of the player character and age at time of death was displayed on the screen. Then the player is transported to the body of another soldier on the front. This continues until an artillery bombardment completely annihilates the battlefield, killing the Germans and player character alike. I was ready for the next mission, this innovative way of dealing with the player death was definitely an interesting innovation. I started up the next mission and watched as soldiers charge forward ahead of me. I found myself in a slow moving tank taking on hundreds of infantry and a few dozen tanks. It was then that I realized that Battlefield 1 was nothing special.
    Battlefield 1 continued the same infuriating trope that has plagued first person military shooters for a long time. It made the player character an almost indestructible badass, who can take out an entire fortress of enemies on their own. Instead of focusing on immersion and making the player character killable like everyone else, as in the first mission, the developers chose to focus on the player and the player alone. Instead of being an individual in a massive charge through no man's land, the game makes you attack cities and towns by yourself, as if you were some sort of super soldier. I feel like squad based combat like in Battlefield Bad Company 2 would have been a decent compromise. Or a campaign based on the results of multiplayer gameplay like that of Titanfall. Instead the players were given the same formula they had been given in the past two iterations of battlefield, and the countless interactions of Call of Duty.
    Battlefield 1’s story line is also non-consequential. Every single one of the protagonists is the good guy, the Germans and Ottomans the bad guys. Every single one of the main characters is depicted as moral and heroic while the Germans and Ottomans are portrayed as cowardly. The main characters are the most white-bread characters that I have played as in a video game. None of their character flaws are revealed, probably because the player is only introduced to them for a few missions before switching to another battle halfway across the world, and another copied and pasted character. From the trailers I was expecting a game that’s narrative would be as similarly dark and brutal as the fantastic game Spec Ops the Line. In a ferrous attempt to escape from the enemy the player has to make heart wrenching decisions, and commits atrocities in order to survive. Battlefield 1 has none of these moral failings, and the decisions are of minute importance, such as what weapon should I use, and if should I kill the enemy, and even then these decisions mean nothing to the narrative. Infact when I tried to go through a mission without killing or alerting any of the enemies the cutscene still depicted bodies sprawled across the terrain.
    Battlefield 1’s story and portrayal of Word War 1 is extremely weak, and a testament to Dice’s incompetence at crafting singleplayer narratives. Dice should focus their resources on what they do best, multiplayer. Don’t be fooled by the single player trailers, this game is not worth purchasing for the single player alone and the multiplayer while fun does not offer an authentic experience. The proliferation of light machine guns and prototype submachine guns completely ruins any immersion that might have existed. The anti-tank rockets that are unlocked at the start of the game completely negate tank use, and the Dreadnaughts, battleship or zeppelins, are not the Goliath challenges as they are depicted in the trailer. The lack of teamwork especially hurts the multiplayer experience and makes it significantly more casual game-play. If you want a multiplayer game to play with a squad of close friends and move tactically this is certainly not the game for you, check out Insurgency instead. In conclusion if you are expecting a chaotic first person shooter to casually kill some times time with your friends and you don’t care about story, this game is for you.    … Expand

I knew that BF1 had no real anticheat when I bought it I guess, but it is really starting to show now, with cheaters brazenly advertising their cheats in game and rage hacking at a breakneck pace, there is currently a rather notorious cheater actively and openly trolling people with his cheats, and advertising for the cheat supplier and he has been in game since the start and still is not banned, despite having an almost 100% accuracy score and his shots fired and kill score almost match.
    this will be the last EA product besides Mass Effect Andromeda that I will be buying for the foreseeable future. I can not believe that a game producer actually thinks that making a game with no active cheat detection is a good idea. fair-fight is a joke and it shows in the current state of BF1. do not buy until it is $20-30 & even then for the campaign only, or until EA actually implements a proper anti-cheat (Battleeye for ex:)    … Expand

    The game is loaded with snipers, because they can one hit kill you from range. Tanks are so over powered they get boring fast. I tanked a lot on past BF games, was global number 1 tanker on ps3 for over a year. I was disappointed with BF1 tanks. Way too simplified and easy to rack up massive kill streaks with. Tank on tank fights are bland and it's often a case of who gets the first shot off or who had x amount of repair players.

    With the map layouts in mind. Sniper camping, team spawning, kill cam and grenade spam, horses with massive health pools, over powered tanks etc. Matches are reduced to meat grinders. That or a game more based around a jogging simulator as you race from one objective to another. Then towards the end of the match, the losers get to hammer the winning side with either a battleship, blimp or armored train.

    The game is less about skill, opening up to casual gamer's wallets, and more random luck and chaos. I enjoyed past BF games for the strategy and tactics but in Bf1 it's more about spawning and dying and gaming ones reactions as players run around like headless chickens in waves.

    Other things bent towards casuals are random kits off the floor that make you overpowered, an elite hero unit that can soak up bullets while racking up easy kills like out of battlefront.

    Bf1 is a step away from games like BF 1942, Vietnam, 2142, and more towards games like call of duty or battlefront. Shame.    … Expand

There are wayyyyyy to many games that actually care about player experience out there on the market for me to waste even one minute of my time trying to find a good game in Battlefield. Its a shame because as i stated it started off really strong. I used to get really competitive games and have a blast playing the game, however because of the experiences I continuously have as of late I can not leave a good review. The game is well designed but the Dev team is horrible as always post release.… Expand

    Flawless example of style over substance in game design.

    This is a beautiful game. The sound is the best in the industry, as you would expect from DICE. They know videogame sound. The graphics, everything from shaders to particles are exemplary, and the optimization is fantastic. There is no better optimized game engine on the market than Frostbite and BF1 is the finest example of    Flawless example of style over substance in game design.

The graphics, everything from shaders to particles are exemplary, and the optimization is fantastic. There is no better optimized game engine on the market than Frostbite and BF1 is the finest example of that.

    Unfortunately, Battlefield 1 is also the worst entry in the entire franchise. We all remember Battlefield 1942 fondly for its crazy, insane, chaos based gameplay. We remember the ships, the planes, the tanks, the big maps and the hilarious hi-jinks. Noone remembers that game fondly for its gameplay.

    Battlefield 1 lacks all the charm of 1942, but is loaded to the gills with its janky, unbalanced, and sloppy gameplay.

    BF3 and BF4 for the first time in the franchise, made the actual moment by moment gameplay good. The gunplay, the vehicular combat, and the interaction of those elements were top notch, and finally... FINALLY the gunplay matched up to the scale and quality of everything else. It did the whole schtick of "modern tactical shooter" better than anything on the market and made the contemporary (and far more widely known and popular) Call of Duty feel like a terrible joke. Bf3 and BF4 had tight, responsive, and skill based infantry combat that sent a chill down the spine and took serious effort to master. Noone loaded up BF3 for the first time and went on a killing spree of epic proportions. No, you loaded the game up and died like a **** for several hours until your body and mind adapted to the gameplay and environment, which were designed to reward skill. In short, BF3 and BF4 had a "skill cap" that both existed and had a notable and noticeably scale.

    Sure, you could be a 45 minute first time and get in a tank and slaughter some infantry for awhile. But then again.. your in a tank. That was good. As soon as you came up on a better player in a tank, you died. As soon as you came up on an engineer with more skill, you died.

    BF1 has none of this. BF1 has none of the good of BF3/4.

    Remember how you had to "tame" weapons in BF4? Remember how great your 950RPM AEK-971 was? or your 1000RPM FAMAS? Remember how you were taken aback by the recoil at first, and died like a moron 20 times in a row until you learned to pull against it, learned that the AEK was better in 4 round bursts, learned to yank to one side, learned to yank down sharply at first and then loosen up a bit on the compensation in full auto situations? Remember how your slow firing 500-600 RPM weapons required you to have better aim in CQB, required you to pull up to hit the head in order to stand a chance against high RPM weapons in CQB, but at range you could burst fire and out shoot them?

    Remember when it took skill to play the game?

    Those were fond memories. BF1 has none of that. In fact, you cannot burst fire any weapon in BF1. The only rapid fire weapons in the game are the assault SMG's and the Support LMGs and if you try to burst fire then you miss every shot. The LMG's are HARDCODED to be mag dumped. The guns LITERALLY INCREASE IN ACCURACY WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN THE TRIGGER. It even tells you this in the tooltip when you pick Support. This means if you want to hit a target midrange, you need to open fire and just randomly loose 20 or 30 rounds until the "spread" starts to visibly tighten up, then actually aim. Its absolutely moronic and encourages bad, spammy gameplay.

    The SMG's are no better, but instead of increasing accuracy the more you full-auto, they simply have no accuracy beyond CQB and extremely low bullet range and velocity. The developers solution to balancing SMG's (the primary weapon of the assault class) to everything else was to simply make them worthless beyond 30 or so feet. No matter what you do, be it single shots or careful bursts (which you cant actually do because first-shot accuracy is no longer higher than follow ups like in most FPS games and prior BF titles) you will NEVER hit targets outside the intended combat range. Scouts and Medics now use sniper rifles and DMR's. Thats it, they are just bolt action sniper rifles or DMR's, not much else to be said about them. NEVER. Skill plays no factor.

    And thats the killer of this game. The game is now built around rigid roles for each class. You cannot deviate from those roles. You can no longer take a high RPM CQB weapon and simply get really good with it, and use it to soften up targets at further than its optimal range with precise bursts. You can no longer take longer range, lower RPM weapons and do well with them in CQB by learning to aim for the head/ride the recoil up to the head

    Im at the 5000 character limit. I wanted to go into more detail but i dont have room. But suffice to say, the game has lost everything good about BF3/4 (tight gameplay, powerful but skill-heavy vehicles) and replaced it with bombast that looks great but feels terrible    … Expand

Soldiers run super fast, there are no battle lines, death is meaningless, because you constantly respawn, action is meaningless, because everyone dies constantly.

I'm not racist but it feels like Dice shoehorned them in to be PC. It's kind of insulting to black and white people. Black people didn't start WWI and a lot more white people died than black.

    Let me start off by expressing how dumbfounded I am that peopel are saying the single player is good or even decent. It is horrid, no worse and no better than bf3's and bf4's single player, an absolute embarrassment. The AI is pathetic, the stealth is primitive, but the level design is just bad.

It is horrid, no worse and no better than bf3's and bf4's single player, an absolute embarrassment. The AI is pathetic, the stealth is primitive, but the level design is just bad. And what a missed opportunity, the single player was a perfect opportunity for some authentic ww1 trench combat, yet you don't get it in a single mission, not even the intro one. The entire campaign feels like a 4 hour tutorial.

    Another glaring issue is the mouse input. It feels like there's always a tiny delay to moving your mouse. It's not enough to stop you from aiming, just from aiming well. To make matters worse it feels like there's a tiny bit of acceleration no matter what.

    I found the best way to play the game was to grab a shotgun, zig zag my mouse to dodge bullets with the absurdly high sprint speed, and kill as many people as I could before dying, re spawning and doing it again.

    Doing anything but running around like a chicken with your head cut off is foolish, as movement speeds are high and so is your accuracy whilst moving, even with an lmg. Even when I'm sniping I never dare crouch or prone, as you seem to die the moment you stand still and try to play the game tactically.

    Behemoths are a joke, especially in operations. Dice decided that instead of using good map design for balanced attack and defense gameplay like in bc2, they could just give the losing team a **** blimp. The blimp is basically a low flying ac130. If their are no tanks planes or aa guns (very likely as the defending side) you pretty much just have to let if kill you, or sacrifice the objective.

    Speaking of maps, some of them are pretty bad. All of the desert maps are awful, especially suez, though fao fortress can be fun if you just feel like sniping with one hand and jerking off with the other. Let me reiterate though, Suez is perhaps one of the worst maps in ANY battlefield game. A hill placed on only one side of B means the Ottomans will pretty much always win. Nevertheless, 3 flags in a straight line should never be acceptable for 64 player conquest no matter what.

    I'm giving this game a 0 even though it deserves a 3, but other reviewers are being far to generous since they immediately give a 10 to any pretty explosions.    … Expand

    UI interface is the worst, it's not intuitive and feels empty. For example, you cant change loadout while loading, but you can buy battle packs which have nothing but skins in them and totally useless.

    I previously reviewed this and gave it a 4. I've always focused on vehicles in the BF series, going back to the Vietnam release. Having spent a little more time with the game, I'm downgrading it further to a 2.

    This is not the BF of yore, where vehicle combat meant something to the outcome of a match. This is basically an infantry game with some sloppily added vehicles. Depth of play    I previously reviewed this and gave it a 4. I've always focused on vehicles in the BF series, going back to the Vietnam release. Having spent a little more time with the game, I'm downgrading it further to a 2.

    This is not the BF of yore, where vehicle combat meant something to the outcome of a match. This is basically an infantry game with some sloppily added vehicles. Depth of play in the infantry role breaks down to one of the four classes and the variations in their weapons. It heavily favors sniping (Scout class). Most of the infantry roles can carry some form of anti-vehicle weaponry, including snipers that can damage armor from distance with "K bullets" and an anti-tank gun that fires like a sniper rifle.

    Ground vehicles include three variations of tank: from a single seat light tank and two larger multi-crew tanks, each with three variations that generally "specialize" (or pigeon-hole) the vehicle. Visibility for all but the driver is terrible in each type, which makes riding in them dull. They're all quite slow and easy targets for the broad array of anti-vehicle weapons.

    The planes are the worst aspect of this Battlefield iteration. Truly, this was a missed opportunity for DICE. Instead of creating polished air-to-air flight mechanics, it's mostly biplanes on rails. The lag in the code is so bad that planes often appear to cartwheel, warp or even fly backwards when pursued. There is no speed management required, and "dogfights" are just long, boring chases; no cutting, no switching. This is a shame, because it was in WWI that dogfighting was born. Unfortunately, it was an afterthought in this game.

    There are three variations of aircraft, each with their own limited variations which force the player to choose air-to-air or air-to-ground. The former is essentially useless in its role, as the air to ground variants can hold their own against other aircraft. And other than the bomber and the attack plane's anti-vehicle role, they're all pretty harmless to the opponent. This is due in part to the inability to spot or see infantry. The flare mechanic for spotting infantry from the fighter's "trench fighter" role either doesn't work or is too watered down to be of use.

    In short, most aircraft are only good for transporting a player across the map quickly. They have no impact on the ground situation and are easily destroyed by the AA guns sprinkled liberally around the maps.

    If you like vehicles and played previous BF titles, especially 2, 3 and 2142, you'll be disappointed with DICE's weak efforts here. They have taken it a step further than they did with BF4, where widely available auto-guided, low-skill weapons ruined vehicle play. In this iteration, not only are anti-vehicle weapons widely available, the vehicles themselves have no teeth at all.

    The only positive thing I can say about it is that it's graphically beautiful. But DICE has no monopoly on that these days. I'm so glad I only paid $60 for this; some paid $140 for it. But then, I learned that lesson in BF4. Never trust DICE or the so-called "Critcs". Save your money and buy something else.    … Expand

There's little ability here to really play the game and influence events in a meaningful and satisfying way. Indeed it feels more like a mildly interactive film where the gamer is more spectator, than player.

    Worse still are the horrible weapon physics, where you can shoot something many many times and it simply does not fall down or blow up. This is married up to impossible scenario's, where you are bound to loose again and again. Others expect you to loose and just feel like a waste of time. Of course we are getting a moral history lesson about the futility of war but hey its supposed to be a game too right? Chance to have some fun? No such luck.

    Just as annoying is you can not play as the other side. The Germans, Turks, etc are simply targets. If this game wanted to show war in its entirety then why not let the player, play both sides?

    This game is pretty but then so are most modern games. This in itself is in no way enough to justify what is a clumsy effort, that simply lacks the fun and interactive factor gamers want and I believe have a right to expect.

BF1 is a 'Steam Greenlight', still in Beta/Alpha, in-development game - similar to what Windows 10 is - pay for a full game while the developer gives you a half made release. Here, let me charge you full price for this delicious pie that I say has 10 pieces, but only give you 1. NICE DICE/EA.… Expand

    Game has alot of potential, but it's a functional greasefire: 2 major outages in a week. BF1 is simply BF4's stepsister.....New skin, but same old EA/Dice.

    The multiplayer is lacking in content, too few weapons missing key weapons used in ww1 and instead substituting guns that were never used. The multiplayer is completely unbalanced, with planes being very overpowered along with tanks, the light machine guns being weak and the sniper (still) being the best class, with only them getting bolt action rifles (unlike in ww1). The maps are pretty poor, with many either turning into mortar spam or sniper spam, some are good, but the broken balance and OP elite classes really ruin those few good maps. No hardcore (aka the good game mode) on launch. The melee system is beyond broken, with your guy's feet becoming glued to the floor to enter a receiving of a bayoneting (several of which I have seen go through walls).

    "Hello my SEA friends. I have been playing the game for the past 2 days. My advice would be either refund the game or DO NOT buy it. I have read multiple threads from SEA, South Africa, India and Dubai requesting for EA to provide servers to their paying customers but to no avail EA is being a **** and not even taking the time to reply. They DO NOT show any love or support to their fans across those countries i have listed. ZERO LOVE! Therefore my advice is DO NOT buy it. Such a disappointing "AAA" Company. Bf3 and Bf4 had multiple servers for the various SEA countries, they really went back in time and devolved from where they used to be. DO NOT SUPPORT EA AS THEY DO NOT SUPPORT US.
    They do not even bother reading the forums...

    It has been 13 days since the launch and I am yet unable to play the game without having it crash every 20 minutes with a DirectX error. Both EA/DICE and Nvidia know about this issue but have been unable to find and fix the cause of the problem. Paying AAA price for a broken at launch game is becoming a really annoying standard with those large game companies.

    tl;dr - the game rewards failure. If a team is losing they get either a blimp or an armored train, depending on the map. It's like a participation trophy for the fat slow kids, but in this case the fat kid uses the trophy to bludgeon the first place kid to death.

    Pros: - Good Graphic - Good Sounds

    Negatives: - bad gameplay - too much bugs in a 50€ game(100€ with premium pass...) - rly poor weapon configurations - bad servers - ?skins? - etc etc.....

    In my Eyes is this not a Bf like Bf Hardline, they changed the game to hard, that has nothing to do with bf,
    only "€" want they see.

I understand they want to show the sides of the war not many people know about like the "Harlem hellfighters" and what not but that doesn't excuse the fact that there are so many blacks mixed in with the German, British and Australian Forces nor should it make up for the black man on the poster.

    Other than that the game is fun at times but the spawns are terrible i've spawned right behind enemies and killed like 3 people, fun for me but still. Also the game feels too messy i wanted there to be coordination and you have to charge the enemy all at once to cap a point or something but that was not the case.    … Expand

    the game is not bad but it is a rip-of for the money you pay, it's basicly another bad company 2 reskins (just as every bf is) they basicly say the made it world war 1 so they can make another world war 2 game in a few years to milk the franchise again. but the worst of all, origin the most pehtetic game platform ever.

Was not impressed with the Beta for Battlefield 1 because the Medic kit did not work, problems with shooting through transparent surfaces so I held out to buy the game. It was on offer on Origin for £18 for the Revolution version reduced from £60 so i thought i would give it a chance. Spent a few days playing it and i was wrong to have gave it a chance. The Medic kit is still flawed although not as bad as the beta. You pop up from behind a hill and shoot and hit a transparent wall where your bullets ricochet off thin air, you lay down 2 feet behind the hill and the enemy some how manage to shoot you through the hill. They have tried to force players to use the Medic Kit by forcing you and your dead body to hang around or if you want to skip, you have to hold your space button for 5 seconds. So you wait and then the camera flies in and out giving you constant head aches zooming in and out of a map. Because of the problems with Battlefield 4 auto spawning in front of enemies, they now spawn you 15 miles away from the action. So you spend a few minutes getting to the action, get sniped instantly, forced to wait 5 seconds, zoom head ache, pick a spawn point, another zoom head ache, run 15 miles, dead, forced to wait, zoom head ache.. Repeat. The game is a chore to play and the worst battlefield ever.. steer clear..… Expand

    I far exceeded the min specs when this game was released but it still did not work for my machines despite all attempts at a fix. By the time they patched the game to a working state, they released dlc that i'm expected to buy to not get kicked every time the map rotates.

    This title is primarily a multiplayer addition to the franchise that explores the first world war. The campaign is pretty short and linear, however, masterfully made with fantastic cut-scenes good enough for a cinema, and innovative narrative with good story and gameplay. The campaign is very good, though a bit small in scale seeing as the title is primarily a multiplayer game.

The campaign is very good, though a bit small in scale seeing as the title is primarily a multiplayer game.

    The multiplayer is as well made with wonderful graphics, sound and crisp controls. Problem is that the gameplay itself is out the window....

    The balance in the multiplayer part is very very poorly tuned. Like previous titles, snipers, not limited to the Scout class, are severely overpowered, meaning that usually more than half the servers players play only as snipers. A single bullet from a machinegun at long range does about 14 damage. Snipers does 80-100 with the same caliber.

    If you want a realistic or balanced experience this game is not what you or I are looking for.
    The campaign is good though.    … Expand

It's a shame that this game is in this state a little over a year since launch, any fun to be had is few and far between, and it's frankly not worth the price of admission when it's such a pain to get into in the first place.… Expand
