DICE tell us, it was back to old BF1942, sorry DICE, wrong way, game don't have soul of BF1942 and, this f... cheaters, broke this product. P.s. Look on YT how many people report cheaters and DICE seat silent. Buy or not to buy? well for graphic, yes, for gameplay, i was sad pay my money for it, thanks a GOD I don't buy premium BF1.

This game reproduces many of the flaws found in other Battlefield games, most notably, the lack of real immersion and control on the part of the gamer. This is another Pavlovian game where you are presented with very narrow game sequences, where the gamer is "shoe horned" into doing specific things in a very specific way or no cigar. 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.

    I played BF1942 at a semi-pro level and followed the BF series ever since. This is the biggest loser game of them all. Extreme disappointment in multiplayer. Horrible physical model. Purchased content kills the game. Never again.

    Very fun game. The graphics are gorgeous. Glad that EA is using the Frostbite 3 engine on many of their future games. But as much like all other FPS games, they're all the same. Rush, kill, rush, kill. The singleplayer campaign is quite short. The war stories campaign style I couldn't really get around to liking it. Would have preferred a single story through the entire play through.

    - worst menu interface ever created (PC version)
    - laggy/buggy at times

Then I figured out it's Star Wars Battlefront code with 'ranges' that you have to be in for each weapon, is why the guns feel so bizarre. Once you get used to the ranges you'll get a lot better but I just don't like the feel of it. I should never be too close for a sniper rifle to work, and shotguns are absolutely useless at surprisingly short distances (like 30 feet or so and suddenly it does nothing). And support LGMs should take more time to pull up to ironsights and make you run slower but should be devastating as hell when hit. Instead they feel weaker than a little SMG which is too weird to describe. I just don't like the 'feel' of it.

    Also there's a lot of cheaters you see kicked every round. OMG it's only been out for three days!

    Anyway I guess it has potential if they fix the cheating and tune the guns a bit. But definitely not my favorite shooter out of the box.    … Expand

    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).

Tactical shooter sure, fun factor sure, but although inspired by WW1 it leaves any semblance to that conflict far behind. In the end combat is Battlefront Star Wars with WW1 skins, only the power ups and jet packs are missing to complete this comparison.

    The game actually plays like WW2 on steroids where the majority of players uses either sub machine guns or automatic weapons, add very effective tanks an abundance of anti tank ordinance even at infantry level and aircraft, including heavy bombers, that have the agility and power to weight ratio of modern fighters, and the end result is cognitive dissonance.

    This feeling is only enhanced by the misguided attempt to make BF1 a multi cultural experience, driving this to such high level that in multi play your German squad can Be comprised entirely by black men. Now black men did serve in the Imperial army, but in Africa. If you want to offer a multi cultural experience at least give the player some choice.

    In multiplay I try to stick to rifles and only specific light machine guns, out of some historical sense of duty, but as the majority embraces exotic sub machine and light machine guns, this only increases the frustration I am having with BF1.

    I hope there will be some hardcore more WW1 oriented game play offered in the future - even it was just a single server it would redeem BF1 in my eyes.    … Expand

    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.

    The graphics are excellent, the sound effects are top notch, the gameyplay is very good. Yet, Battlefield 1 is clearly a step backwards from BF3 and BF4.
