    I was not a fan of the portrayal of soldiers in the game, many of which were non-white. in a war were only 7% of the fighting forces were non-white having so many running around on the battlefield takes away from the historical accuracy DICE says they want to have. I understand they want to show the sides of the war not many people know about like the "Harlem hellfighters" and what not butI was not a fan of the portrayal of soldiers in the game, many of which were non-white. in a war were only 7% of the fighting forces were non-white having so many running around on the battlefield takes away from the historical accuracy DICE says they want to have. 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

    I've played the game quite a bit now, and I'm sad to say I've never gotten that "this is amazing!" feeling that I got in Battlefield 4. The game is beautiful, and a wonderful ode to the first World War, but the gameplay feels impossible from mid to long distance.

Of course, weapons were less accurate back then, but when has Battlefield been about complete historical accuracy? When I point my damn gun at someone, and it's a semi-auto weapon, I want the shot to hit them!

    The game is dominated by smg's and lmg's. Lmg's are the most accurate weapons in the game (unless you're at a dead standstill with a sniper) which makes no sense. Playing this game just makes me want to jump back into BF4, which is what I've been doing.

    Many people will say I'm just bad, but I'm one of those players that makes it into the top 3-5 players every match when I'm trying. I'm also rank 83.

    To sum up: the game is beautiful and intriguing, but it's too annoying and luck/explosive-based to be a lot of fun.    … Expand

    Captures the feelings of the chaos of WW1 with brutal bayonet charges and gas grenades but you get battle fatigue pretty fast at the game, i come back to it once in a while but its just for some light fun. i also want to address the massive loading times. but i cant not praise all the research care love time and resources making this game capture the WW 1 feel.

    This title is primarily a multiplayer addition to the franchise that explores the first world war.

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

    Although the single player campaign is a little weak, the multiplayer is stronger than ever. It's pretty much everything I was hoping for when I first saw the trailers last year.

    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

Where are those old times with very long and entertaining Single player like Medal of Honor, older Call of Duty series, even Battlefield 4 had amazing SP, but this one is ridiculous. I don't also like the Multiplayer, because when you got killed, you have to wait a long time before you can respawn again and that's what I hate mostly about it. I like games full of action and not something like this where you have to wait all the time.

    Extremely beautiful graphics, animation and sound effects, the Battlefield franchise always blow gamers away with its top of the line eye candies and ear-gasmic audio work. However, Battlefield 1 (unlike the previous titles) failed to hook me with its short hollow mini campaigns and unexciting gameplay.

    Very good game. Very nice gameplay, love it! Unfortunately the game is not finished at all but already sells dlcs. Played against several hackers but you cannot do anything against them. Custom server options seem to be a joke compared to the previous games.

    Currently I have about 150h in multiplayer (over 1000h in previous battlefields).

    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.

    The good: good multiplayer, excellent artistic direction, good graphics and good performance in PC FHD and 60 FPS without issues, gameplay with vehicles is awesome.

    The bad: Campaign is too short and boring, lack of maps in multiplayer, lack of weapons at the beginning in multiplayer, soundtrack is poor.

    乗り物の種類は初期段階から豊富にあり、ロールも今までとは違うロールになったため、偏ることもたまにありますが、そこまで差はなくなったのではないかと思います。 ただ武器の種類が少なくBF4やハードライン、BF3などに比べればかなり劣るように見えます。 乗り物の種類は増えたものの、乗り物に乗れる人はかなり少ないのでPCスペックなどにより早い者勝ちの制度で乗り物に乗れない人が多数いる状況がよく見られます。 ガスグレネードが強いので度々修正が来ているものの個人的にはあのままでも問題ないかと思っています。    その当時に起こっていたことを空気ですら読み取れるいいゲームです。
