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.

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.

    It's a pretty solid Battlefield game, but it is absolutely not the WW1 experience I was looking for. It honestly feels like Battlefield 4 with a WW1 skin and less verticality. The campaign is also a very lacklustre WW1 campaign, does not capture the time at all. One of the biggest let downs of 2016 IMO.

    After I played the open beta for this game, I was SUPER excited for the release; the graphics were awesome (compared to anything I had seen at the time), and the gunshots didn't sound like you were playing air-soft. I was also really glad to see the building destruction I hadn't seen since Bad Company 2, and also the removal of the "gain skill to unlock" system as seen in BF4.

I was also really glad to see the building destruction I hadn't seen since Bad Company 2, and also the removal of the "gain skill to unlock" system as seen in BF4.
    After the novelty wore off, I began to see things. Many times, I've shot invisible boundaries while lying prone with my LMG. It is also quite difficult to spot enemies. The spotting range is quite small.
    Also I it is extremely irritating that the SMG is more useful than the LMG, since the SMG fires faster and does practically the same damage. The LMG's purpose is to be able to suppress the enemy, but without realistic damage, the ability to wound and knock the enemy off their feet, LMGs are practically worthless.
    I hadn't noticed until I bought the full game, but there is almost no splash damage. Also, a direct hit with an anti-infantry mortar shell does 65 damage. Mortars were often used like artillery to shell an area. It shouldn't be that hard to kill with them. Also, what's with the lack of anti-tank weaponry available to the support class?
    Speaking of support, Battlefield 1 does very little to reward the supportive. A normal kill, if kept to yourself, is worth 120 points. The max a spotter can get is 20, and it is very hard to be effective with a mortar without a spotter. And there is no reward for holding down a point. And in the off chance someone does come to attack, you rarely have the opportunity to put enough bullets in them before they grab their rifle and kill you one shot.
    Now about the Behemoths. I must say, these monsters are very impressive. Until you try to use them, They are VERY slow. They don't have enough armor or firepower to go that slow, if you're talking balance. They last about 3-5 minutes in a game and generally by the time they're destroyed the your team's score has gone from 400 points behind to 350 points behind. Hell yeah!
    The balance of the game is terrible. I have always been auto assigned to the losing team, which can never turn the tide, by the way, since the enemy team has all the high-ranking players and is also full, compared to our 3/4 full team.
    The only part of this game that is any fun is the campaign. Which is also very short.
    So overall, there are much better games to spend $60 on. I have standards on how much entertainment or use my money should give me. Didn't really make the cut.    … Expand

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 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

    At Release better than Bf3,4 or Hardline but still too many bugs to call it a good Release. Still Netcode problems, bugs and other things that mess the Battlefield series up.

    As a game,one of the best shooter 2016, and one of the best WW1(2) Shooter in the last 5 years.

    Graphics are good. Modes standard.
    Long way to go, but maybe the next Bf is a better game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to buy the game, but a little voice told me it was a waste of money. Then i heard from others that the game is great, awsome and so on. Then a little voice told me; perhaps it is a great game everybody seems to like it.

    Personally i think battlefield 1 is so great because of the marketing. But that is not important.
    A few weeks ago I was able to play the game for 10 hours. I downloaded the game and was finaly ready to see if BTF 1 is a good game or not. I started out with the single player, running a gtx 1070 and having a 144hz screen i soon found out that my 500 euro card would not get 144fps. Not even on the lowest settings did i get a good framerate. But well most people play on 60 hz, so they can play on high or above without problems with a gtx 1070. Still i feld cheated by dice, that they
    wouldn t let the 144hz people who like FPS games play a match on the lowest settings and not even hit 144 frames per second, unless they buy a ( GTX 1080)800 euro card.

    But still with you're 60 hz screen you're good to go. So i lowered my screen to 75 hz, and it was good. Well not the game but the frames per second. Oke after getting the settings right i could go on with that great single-player.
    I must have done something wrong because after 10 or 20 minutes i still waited for the single player to begin, yes i played some stupid soldier who was shooting at some other stupid soldier and then got shot, and then i played another stupid soldier who got shot. Really i think i am stupid, because i couldn t tell if i was playing the campaign or not, it was that boring. i fellt the need to play the multiplayer.
    I started up the multiplayer and spawned in to some desert. My first thought was; well this is a boring map, and guess what it was freakingly boring. i started out in a tank shooting some other player. I didn't think wow this is cool, no i thought WOW this is so boring oh my GOD, it is 10 times worse then BTF4 (btf4 was a 6 at most).

    Well it is not 10 times worse then BTF4, but thats what i was thinking when i was playing BF 1. So i played some more rounds, and really the game did nothing for me. It s the same as the other BF games, only now i am in wo 1. I was playing a game that was really old, and was cranked up with some new graphics. EA/Dice must be laughing, that people still buy there outdated boring BF games, and think that it is something new. Perhaps it was fun many many years ago, but for me not anymore. I am guessing that a lot of people bought the game because of the good advertising ea/dice knows how to bring, and they play it because ??? well i don't know.

    Really you don't have to buy the game. You're not missing out on anything. The only thing you're missing out on is spending money on a boring multiplayer game. i must admit, if nothing is happening for say 30 seconds i get bored and then i lose my concentration. But even that is not the reason i found bf 1 boring, it just is.    … Expand

    -A decent amount of historical mistakes in the campaign and campaigns

    Conclusion
    While this game can be very fun and immersive at times, you will get burnt out fairly quickly (especially if you're a long time Battlefield fan). There are times where you will just be pissed due to how the game will absolutely screw you for performing well, so if your team is well coordinated and do well, your opponents will be granted with a boon in the form of a map stomping death machine. The effect this can have on a map is immense, as usually there are tools that are on a map that help you deal with said threat. Some maps don't give you anything and you just get stomped because you simply did better than you opponent. Thus I can't give this game a good review, sadly, I must give it poor marks.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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

    Game Modes: Every game mode except conquest and operations is 12v12... You have this great engine that is very well optimized with the capability of 32v32 but you're not using it? This brings me to my next point

    Custom Servers: Where are they? Why can't people host servers with custom features

    Stat tracking: Compared to BF3, stat tracking doesn't exist in BF1

    Gunplay: I have no idea what they were thinking with these guns, a perfect FPS shooter will strive to make every gun relevant for specific purposes, no gun should be good at everything and no gun should be absolute garbage with no reason for existing. In BF1 each class has 1 or 2 guns that are superior in 80% of all situations, the remaining guns are useless or frustrating. It's like they had 4 teams working on the weapons, each team not knowing what the other was doing until launch day, just horrible. I didn't play BF4 or Hardline so I don't know how far DICE has fallen since BFBC2 and BF3 but they are currently setting new lows in FPS gun mechanics.

    Team balancing: Where is it? Maybe its because it's release weekend, their ranking algos don't have enough data yet but I highly doubt it. Why are level 5's playing with level 40's? And no these are not God Tier level 5's, they are how do I use my medkit level 5's.

    RE-skin of Battlefront: If you love Battlefront you don't need to play this game, unless you really like WWII games that are skinned to look like WWI games.

    That pretty much covers it. There are some bugs but not nearly as many as Beta so I think they did a good job of cleaning up the game. Overall I hope they keep adding a lot of features to the game so I don't get bored and uninstall. I'm very happy I didn't purchase the game + DLC because these guns are going to get boring fast.    … Expand
