    English language blocked in Origin store in Europe (Poland), can only select Polish or Russian. 0/10, asked for refund.

    Thanks for nothing, Origin. And learn from Valve or Blizzard, EA.

    Don't buy Battlefield1! EA/DICE is unreliable!

    Hi DICE/EA, remember the "wrong email or password" error that tons of Battlefield3 players reported to you since 2015 (even new reports this year) and you guys still didn't do anything about it?! Your support is unfriendly and unhelpful. Up to date Battlefield3 players cannot log into Battlefield3 because of the Origin/Battlelog bug, that    Don't buy Battlefield1! EA/DICE is unreliable!

Your support is unfriendly and unhelpful. Up to date Battlefield3 players cannot log into Battlefield3 because of the Origin/Battlelog bug, that you guys KNOW of. You know that there are so many people dealing with such a significant problem, yet you resist to help or do anything about it, eventhough this problem did start mid 2015.

    Well, if this is how you deal with your customers, I can't recommend this or any other upcoming Battlefield to anyone.
    Guys, they will drop support after 1 or 2 years even if the game has a significant bug that prevents people from starting it. EA doesn't care about you, nor your problems. Just google "Battlefield3 wrong email or password". You will find all you need to know about how EA/DICE treats their customers.
    All they care about is money.

    If you like gaming, stay away from EA/DICE products.    … Expand

    The last bettlefield was Battlefield 4. Worst Battlefield ever made by Dice. Game has a great campaign, but multiplayer is complete garbage. Awefull maps, disbalanced and not effective weapons, disbalanced vehicles. The game shoud be called Starwars Battlefield 1, cuz it's same crapy **** as Battlefront. This game is broken and really disapointing. I will not buy single Dice game ever.

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.

    Too many snipers (30-90% at all times) and no ranking system. Origin doesn't even launch any more so have to start the game from chrome. If they put it on steam and limit snipers to 5% maximum Ill raise my review by 6 points.

    They should have just called it battlefield 5. This is nothing more than a bf4 reskin.

    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

    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).
