    Very polished and very entertaining! This is the best Battlefield game yet. I liked previous BF games but this is better then ever. Running on high settings with GTX970, game looks amazing!

    This is the Battlefield I have always been waiting for.

    Finally, I don't feel that "fat character lag" that I always experience in the past BF.
    Now it's as fluid as a Counter-Strike or COD can be.

    All that with amazing graphic, building destruction, and all the tank etc...

    Finally a game that is polished at launch !

    Feel so great. Thank you

    Best looking shooter in a while, the maps and animations are breathtaking and the game really sets itself a part from the previous battlefield games, and to honest the series did need this sort of reboot.

    CAMPAIGN MODE REVIEW:

    Best In Game Campaign I have ever played and Followed by a Strong, Versatile and Emotional tipped story line. The detail Study done by game creators and analysts have simply created a marvel';
    For Example: The Ottoman Armored train shown is precisely similar to the Actual one making it visually great to see a structure like which would have been a gigantic piece of destruction.

    Back to campaign, its Simply addictive, you choose your own Story mode is also great, UNLIKE other FPS Campaigns where the Creators want Gamers to Go where they want and Follow Long Stretched Stories sticking to a single HERO of the game which in real time do not happen.
    You choose your own story mode, play and if want to switch for a change, you can do that anytime switching chapters.

    KEY POINTS:

    - Immersive Game Play
    - GRAPHICAL TREAT with Great Visuals
    - STUNNING gameplay
    - Best Action Shooter
    - Real Time Effects and AI

    Only CON:
    - Short Story / Campaign
    - Nothing else
    ----------------

    MULTIPLAYER MODE:

    From My Experience and Years of gameplay since battlefield 1942' The multiplayer has done a lot and even in previous games, EA tried to bring something new always,

    With a lot of great game modes, EA has done a good job with good multiplayer and nice battlepacks coming along.

    Only Con for multiplayer is the Drops received After hours of gameplay, i guess the Owners should give away battle-drops often instead of taking a chance and giving away a single pack after hours of gameplay multiplayer mode.

    Apart from this , its a Visual marvel from the Battlefield Franchise, Keep Going EA;

    Battlefield 1 takes away a lot of the nonsense added since BC2 BF3 BF4 & adds a lot of things that make sense, for example being able to squad queue or premium friend queue (allows people without DLC to queue with people who have it) or spawning away from a flag if its under attack, also spawning in general is awesome as you get a proper situational awareness from the map to the ground

    basically if you weren't a fan of choppers, long range mortar, flir etc then this is the Battlefield game for you

    Either people were hiding for tanks, or trying to snipe the other snipes from 2 miles away.

    In Battlefield 1, the amount of people you can have firing at you if you poke your head too high is so intense. The weapons are fine tuned enough so that even snipers have a valid reason to push up a little closer, and veichles aren't stupid OP like they were in resent battlefield titles.

    I would like a few more slots for planes in the game though, that would be an awesome feeling to have 10 planes on each time flying overhead all the time. I'd still like to see 64 teams on either side, instead of "only" 32 on each - that would be the dream! But, I'm happy Battlefield 1 took a step back to a time before tanks that could headshot you from miles away and focused more on the soldiers.
    And the visuals is as always stunning, battlefield took battlefront and printed an awesome looking game into a game with fun gameplay.    … Expand

    Cons - VERY limited weapons. This is one of my biggest gripes with the game alone (hopefully fixed in the future) with how EA does their Expansion Passes now, deliver half a game, then part out the rest over the next 6-12 months $$$. Balance, just check youtube (OP snipers and a certain shotgun with ridiculous 1 shot-range) this can easily be fixed in a patch or two thankfully we've already seen a couple of.

    What a breathe of fresh air, finally back to the sort of genre that defined the franchise. Amazing graphics and intense gameplay, extremely fun to play all the way through.

    Absolutely brilliant and immersive. Plays awesome on GTX 1060 with ultra setting, visuals are great but the sound design is equally beautiful. The game is unforgiving for people who dont like team play. The addition of automatic weapons makes the gameplay fast, which may or may not suit all the people. Overall, it is the best remix of WW1 setting which a person can experience.

Heard there were new Nvidia drivers released just today that increase performance. If that is true, then I am even more impressed with how well optimized this game is compared to everything else we get in the market. This is how games should be developed and made for PC!

    Gameplay: Those will complain it is a knock off of SWBF or claim Battlefield 4 is way harder. Have not quite understood Battlefield 1. Battlefield 4 struggled with netcode and while I adored the game we have to remember not to mistake difficulty with optimization. Something can feel harder and it is because poor optimization.

    Battlefield 1 has a huge improvement to netcode and when you shoot it registers very well. Gun balance feels pretty on point. Scouts and assault all have their place. With 25 hours in I can say that the servers I have been on have seen a pretty good balance. If you do not see that balance, you can always try another server as this game is crazy populated with players.

    As far as if this is similar to SWBF, it really isn't. The gameplay feels completely different. And, I will be honest if the game was like SWBF, I am pretty sure I will be extremely disappointed because the gun play in SWBF is disappointing.

    Sound Design: Really on point, and what blew me away when I played this is how much the audio changes depending where you are at. When on Quentin scar and you walk on the huge bullet shells and hear them rustle was quite amazing!

    (NO SPOILERS) Single Player: Keeping it simple, it was heartfelt. I respected the approach they took, and one of the first actually FPS shooter campaigns I have really felt invested in awhile.

    Overall: This game is a huge win in my book, it delivered everything I expected and honestly much more. From the extremely stable release to the huge amount detail and care they took into the game shows a lot. You can tell this project was made out of love and for that I love this game. There is always something we can nitpick and complain about. But, where we are headed and tons more DLC I say this is my game of the year. Thank you DICE for your hard work, it really had paid off and the community can definitely see it!    … Expand

    This is a really good shooter, the net-coding and feedback from the game is by far the best they have come up whit, and it stands in contrast to both BF2, BF3, and BF4 on that point - its a really big improvement. The sound is amazing like always, the same is graphics and details in maps, weapons and so on. The game is a beauty.

    Its also fun, chaotic and it requires teamplay. It got that Battlefield wipe, which we all love. The game fails abit to deliver on content, if you ever played Red Orchestra the Operation part (cool and fun, as it is) will feel abit doll after you've been through them all, and you cant help to think that some off the maps are not designed as good as they could have been when playing conquest, and we need more maps. I would not compare this to SW:BF at all, as its clear there are much more depth to this game, and a much more dynamic battlefield, where SW:BF just were a skin.

    All in all, a great game, that lives up to the battlefield name, but you cant help (yet again) to think, what it could have been without EAs interfering, and DLC hells, where the content comes in stages. Still, i would recommend this game to all FPS/Battlefield lovers.    … Expand
