    Easily my favorite game this year aside from the "Witcher 3: Blood and Wine" expansion, Battlefield 1 just does everything right in my books (but of course with some mistakes on the side).

    First of all, the campaign is above average for a Battlefield game.

    Despite its level styles being clearly inspired from other popular games (the Aerial levels inspired by Star Fox, the Desert stealthy levels similar to Metal Gear) and its "Rambo" style campaign, DICE does an incredible job at making each and every level different and refreshing. Surprisingly the stories for each of the campaigns are fairly well-done, yet I would have preferred it if they had made it twice (or even three-times) as long.

    Of course, the best part of the Battlefield experience is its legendary multiplayer!

    Compared to the past Battlefield games, this game is very well balanced. Every gun and class has its advantages and disadvantages, diversity of classes and teamwork is essential to winning every game, and the balance between both teams is always kept in check.

    One of the things I loved that they improved upon is that they changed the Recon Class' sniper damage to only be a one-shot-kill on a headshot. In past Battlefield games Recons were infamous for camping all over the map and slaying enemies from far away with a single shot.

    While it did require skill to get kills as a Recon, a single sniper camping in one spot should not be as effective when Battlefield is supposed to be about teamwork and getting up-close and personal. Thankfully in Battlefield 1 they changed the Sniper class so that it takes two shots to kill a target, but only one in the head to kill.

    Another thing they balanced is the powerful weapon spawns throughout the map. Not only are there less and only located in the actual control points themselves, they made sure that people who obtain these powerful weapons cannot drop them and cannot heal. Again, in Battlefield 1 DICE does an incredible job at keeping everything balanced while awarding teams and individuals who are of higher skill at the same time.

    In conclusion, Battlefield 1 shattered my negative expectations of this game! With is above average campaign and incredibly well-done multiplayer, Battlefield 1 is a must-buy for FPS and World War fans everywhere!    … Expand

    Decent and enjoyable shooter, even now. Good single player stories. At least half of maps are pretty balanced and playable, and beautiful of course. Tanks and planes aren't OP. No SJW contents and way better than BF V and even BF4. Speed of the game is acceptable for most players. But cheaters, unbalanced teams and remaining maps, which is not playable make this game average and awful sometimes.

    The singleplayer campaign could've been longer. The first mission set-up high hopes for the campaign, but it falls short. It's still the best campaign that DICE has every pulled off, yet The stages for each area are unbalanced. You get: 4 sections for tank, 4 sections for air, 2 for heavy armor, 3 for runner, and 3 for middle east. The voice acting, the story, and the variety they give us is good, but there could've been more.

    As for the multiplayer, it is great for the most part. The squad-based mechanic really gives a nice sense of teamwork and coordinations. The vehicles look, control, and feel like their actual WWI counter parts. As for the guns, there are way too many automatic weapons for it to be an realistic WWI game. The gamemodes are really great, especially operation. Operation gives you the true sense of struggle for control over lands during WWI.    … Expand

    Battlefield 1 is fun at times, but the lack of team play is a shame.
    Battlefield has always been one of my favorite franchises, but I miss the real fun since DICE started to make games for the casual players (Battlefront, hmmmm?). The graphics, physics and sound effects are excellent, but the gameplay is poor.

The fact that this crap game decides to give entire chapters based on vehicles, is just awful. The planes chapter was by far the worst, boring all the way, shooting planes that will keep flying despite being in flames, and just overall too easy and boring, no challenge to be had. I hate those cutscenes, cheesy and boring characters with no charisma whatsoever, and that brit accent is driving me nuts. The controls are terrible, and poorly optimized for pc, and it's sad to know that because BF 1942 was the first game of the series and started on PC. This game is an insult to the classics, having no music in the menu, which is already awful and too complex. The UI is atrocious, very small words and icons, I can barely see them. Also the only way to see the objectives is by pausing the game... lol. Shame on you DICE for bringing this crap and insulting the old BF games legacy, sadly there are hardly any other WWI games, so we gotta play this **** if we wanna play something WWI related. The graphics are great and the sound effects are decent. But the controls ruin the experience. Also the cutscenes are way too frequent and annoying, I tought I was playing a game not watching a boring movie. I will go a head and give this crap an extra point just for trying to be a decent WWI game.
    The game is so unrealistic and anachronic, most of the weapons shown in the game didn't even existed in 1917 or 1918. Planes were not capable of such maneuvers, and the part where the soldier takes photos with a 100+ yrs old camera, and the pictures are perfect, not even moved xD. That was impossible to do with a camera that had no eye stabilizer. Same applies to tanks and other guns, there was only 1 portable machine gun, and the game has like 10 lol. Not only unrealistic and anachronic but also pretty poor representation of WWI, the characters act like they are in a circus or out in a nightclub, really pathetic, I hate their egos so much. The scenes looks like they are from a movie instead of trying to represent the WWI as best as possible (laughable). I was liking this game until the planes chapter... omg... it's so bad it's laughable, the flying mechanics are a disaster, makes the game nearly unplayable, add that the cheesy voice acting with characters that act like war is a joke, and you have a combo for poor quality, way to handicap players Dice, with **** controls. First of all, I don't like planes, so why the **** they force me to play an entire chapter flying a crap plane with awful aiming controls while the stupid character won't shut up, yeah that stupid that thinks he is a winner for being in a fake war... pathetic, I hope people wasn't like that back in the day, **** ww1 who cares about that war anyways.

    However, the game is lacking in terms of content, only 9 maps on release day and the 10th was added later (EA is fooling people to believe they are releaseing free DLC to make them stand out as angels). Way too few weapons, and the LMG's are like sniper rifles. The game sold well because of hype surrounding the WW1 setting (which is FAR from historically correct anyway...). The campaign takes 2-3 hours to beat and it's nothing special, only there because it had to have something...

    But the worst part is Premium friends. I bought premium pass to be able to play all the new maps, since I got bored of the old ones after 30 hours. Now (after me and thousands of others have bought it already) EA announces Premium friends, which means that if one friend in your party owns premium, everyone in that party will be able to play all the premium maps. As you might hear, I feel ripped off.    … Expand

Firstly I think the day 1 user reviews are a tad pathetic due to the fact they are either hating on the game and giving it a 0 or looking at it through rose tinted glasses and giving it a 10 based on an hour or so of gametime. I try to be a little more objective than that hence the delay.

I try to be a little more objective than that hence the delay.
    This is THE game I have been waiting for this year and now having played on it extensively I will start by saying it is a great game, it still is by no means perfect but still a fine addition to the series.

    Graphically it has no peers, this is to me one of the best looking games of all time if not the best. The textures are rich and detailed, the environment stunning and it's just a visual feast to behold, especially running on ultra with everything to the max in 1440p. I have yet to try to remove the hud but I would think that would add yet another level to the setting and it's on my to do list, if I dare that is, not knowing how much ammo I have left before charging the enemy wouldn't be the best scenario to be in. The sound is pretty good too, the sound of shells exploding next to you and gunfire whizzing overhead as you make your way to objectives can be unsettling at times, in a good way.

    The multiplayer aspect is as you'd expect with Battlefield games, not much has changed here in my opinion apart from the Operations mode which is great. It is multiplayer where I have spent most of my time, perfecting my roles and learning the dynamics of the game. I always find in Battlefield games that I get destroyed early on but the more I play the more I learn and find my preferred playstyle and start getting positive results. It's always a learning curve and patience and perseverance pay off.

    Moving along to campaign, this is where I feel Battlefield 1 falls short. The opening campaign mission that you have to do before unlocking the rest was fantastic, it captured that gritty, gloomy feeling of WWI combat, it was chaotic and it worked. I loved how when I died a name would pop up with birth to death dates show before spawning as someone else in the battle. Sadly the rest of the campaign I feel fails to live up to the first mission and subsequently fails to illuystrate the horrors of WWI combat, the Friends in High Places especially, I hated the cocky Yank guy and couldn't shake that feeling that the campaign had lost its way a little. The lawrence of Arabia mission too, one man (woman) vs all, it's just dubious, obviously in the name of entertainment some creative license was needed but it just felt like it was the wrong call. The campaign fails therefore to capture the horrors of WWI, quite miserably it must be said which is a shame given how good the opening mission was.

    The spectator mode is something I want to try but have so far not been able to find out how to, I quite like the idea of messing around with filters and taking screens etc of matches.

    Overall I am happy with Battlefield 1, I still wish Dice would have allowed for better character customization and maybe the ability to select race. It just isn't doing anything for historical accuracy to have a squad as diverse as this where the white man was the minority but I suppose Dice have their political views to express, it's not a big problem and I understand why Dice may have wanted to demonstrate their political stance but in the grand scheme of things I just felt it was misplaced. Apart from the historical innacuracies this game is both fun and infuriating at the same time, a fine addition to the franchise but no masterpiece.    … Expand

    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。

    I really enjoy the First World War setting of the game. As a lover of history, it's a period that really doesn't get enough focus outside of the realms of dreary English Literature classes that focus on poetry. Battlefield 1 expands the vision of the First World War, focusing on more than just the muddy trenches of France and Belgium and depicting fighting across the world. This diversity give the game a great variety of colour palettes and maps. However, this game is NOT a realistic depiction of the First World War in any way. It borrows the uniforms, conceptual weapons and settings of the period, but it feels more like a multiplayer sequel to Bioshock Infinite than anything. If you want a realistic First World War shooter, pick up Verdun.

    Graphically, the game is very strong. Colour palette diversity aside, everything looks very crisp. The character and vehicle models are beautifully done, and many of the levels start with an almost idyllic landscape that quickly degenerates into a war torn hell as a game goes on. To top this all off, the game is insanely well optimised. Using a 2012 i5 CPU and an R9 290 GPU, I was able to clock around 50-60 FPS during intense firefights with Ultra graphics.

    The sound design and direction is also brilliant. There are varying filters put over the sounds of gunfire and shouting depending on the environment. Shots in external fields areas ring off mountainsides in the distance, gunfights in houses have a thudding bass to them, and rainswept trenches give off an eerily muted sound. In addition to some brilliant sounds for the weapons, it lends a great authenticity to proceedings.

    The gameplay-- whilst very much still a Battlefield game-- has gone through a revision to adapt it to the period. This has been met with mixed success. The main improvement is that the infantry combat in the game is the best the series has ever seen, a necessity given the move away from combined arms to primarily infantry combat with the odd vehicle. Vehicles are rarer but have much more impact due to the fewer means for infantry to destroy them. Previous Battlefield games always suffered from vehicle combat becoming it's own game and ignoring the actual battle being played out. The main failing of DICE on this outing was the questionable balancing of the class equilibrium. The loss of the assault rifle hasn't really been compensated for. Assault rifles in FPS games serve a very distinct purpose in gameplay. They are a jack of all trades, master of none weapon that are capable of engaging at all ranges. They ensure that SMG and Shotgun users don't wipe out swathes of people by keeping them out of range and they stop snipers getting comfortable. Without a range of mobile mixed ranged automatic weapons, changes should have been made. Without them, close quarters combat has become incredibly chaotic whilst snipers can only really be countered by cover or other snipers.

    The issue of balance is sidelined by the actual end product of all the effort DICE have put into the game though. Many minute to minute moments of mulitplayer combat could almost pass as scripted set pieces due to the dramatic feel of everything. For example, earlier today I was rushing a point with a few friends. As we approached the point, an enemy light tank appeared and fired at us. I dived into a house with two friends, only for another tank shell to blow the side of the house off and leave me stunned and wounded. At this point, an enemy soldier ran in with a shotgun to finish us off, only for my friend to kill him with a knife. The lighting cast the killing in shadows on the wall and it looked great.

    As usual, some modes work and others don't. Strangely, Conquest-- the staple of the series-- is probably one of the weakest modes on offer here. There never really feels like a frontline and games quickly degenerate into chaotic sprints from point to point. Frontlines and Operations are easily the best ways to play the game, and are luckily quite populated. These modes focus on only two points at a time, similar to Team Fortress maps like Dustbowl. It encourages teamwork and gradual progression across the map. and ensures that firefights are coherent but intense.

    Finally, the single player is not great. Although it has much more heart than the modern plots, most stories are only two chapters long and fall back on tired storytelling tropes. It doesn't even serve as a means to learn how to play the multiplayer game as two campaigns feature vehicle combat that plays out vastly differently to the multiplayer and one focuses on stealth mechanics that are absent from the multiplayer.    … Expand

    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.

    But that's not what disappoints me the most. It's not the lags. Not the messed up netcode. Not the never-banned cheaters you come accross sometimes. Not the lack of weapon customization. No.

The weapons of WW1 are hard to handle, and If you play with a mouse and keyboard, without cheats and macros, skill matters a lot. I'm giving it a ten for the it's awesome intro and solid multiplayer. The heroic campaign is not my thing, but it's a pleasant ,cinematic experience. It doesn't feel old at all in 2019.This FPS does things different than others with it's epic, dark atmosphere.

    At the beginning(when i bought it), game was pretty fine. Had it`s pros and cons. But now, May 2018, game is ruined. Mutliple glitches, bad team balance, frame rate drops lead to feeling of total disguss. I will not play this game anymore, after 250 hours. Too bad, but...

    But in a game so heavily reliant in its multiplayer experience its a shame we run into the same problems which hurt the previous installments. Mass grenade spam, spotting system an unbalance in vehicles, with short respawn times to have you question why it is you even attempt to destroy them. Most frustrating of all being planes vs infantry, as unless you're next to an AA gun, there's not a lot to be done.. other than explode.

    The 64 player mode Conquest lends itself great in the more open maps, where others smaller in size can feel like a meat grinder, where you can find each team at either end of a choke point. To then be pushed back to deployment where LMG's sit stationed with bi-pods and ammo crates.
    This problem could easily be fixed with map specific player counts.

    The game in its current state and most likely final state as we await the release of bf5, is pure chaos. Its a shame it doesn't cater to the competitive scene.    … Expand

    Game servers with no scope, no shotguns, no machineguns, just with simple bolt action rifle with iron sight are really good, and make sense of WW1. But standard servers are not interesting,
    Good physics and environment action by the way.

    The game is a masterpiece by Dice, both his campaign (although a bit short) and his online, the only bad thing that I see, is that there are almost no good servers in South America, but besides that, the game is quite all right.

    Battlefield 1 is one of the most compelling Battlefield games I have played in the past years. Not only are the graphics gorgeous, and the gameplay fluid and satisfying, it also portrays the first world war, while not entirely accurate, in a fitting light. Also the Singleplayer missions are the best ones besides the ones in Bad Company.

The only thing I don't like about it is the prevalence of minor, but still annoying, bugs even after a few years of time. Also it isn't really fun playing on your own, you will definately need people to coordinate yourself with.
    Still a great game both on the side of Single- and Multiplayer, if you want a Battlefield game, I cannot recommend this one enough!    … Expand

    "And in war, there is a person behind every person."
    (c) "Through the dirt and blood"
    I went through this game "with grief in half." The fact is that I played at 35-40 FPS and this is sometimes ah, how unplayable ... Especially in the story about Blackburn. As for the game itself, I stumbled upon it in 2018 when I downloaded a pirate for a pc test. I didn’t start playing at that time,    "And in war, there is a person behind every person."

As for the game itself, I stumbled upon it in 2018 when I downloaded a pirate for a pc test. I didn’t start playing at that time, while the game didn’t really catch on. Perhaps graphics. So I bought it and decided to go through the campaign. The campaign was impressive, though made for show. In some moments it really breaks through on emotions from the magnificent mnologues of Ch. heroes. The gameplay and controls are also top notch, you quickly get used to it and learn. The game has many types and varieties of weapons: from a pocket pistol to an anti-tank rifle. In general, I liked the game in all respects, the only thing that I did not fully enjoy the game itself because of the small FPS`a. Maybe someday I'll upgrade my pc and go through the game 100%, who knows :)    … Expand

Campaign is one of the best in the series because It mostly focuses on soldiers and people of the war rather than sides that they were fighting for. It makes you invested in characters even though you spend so little time with them. The multiplayer itself plays great. Weapons feels unique and again pull you into the game even more. Unlock system for the most part feels rewarding and gives satisfaction with each unlocked weapon because of how special each of them is. While some challenges feel tedious and might take some more effort to unlock they are worth the time. Maps perfectly depict war landscapes and use different and unusual settings. This an absolute peak for the series and even now in 2021 you’ll find tons of servers to play on. Personally I think BF1 brings immersion and uniqueness in depiction of war in games (or even war overall to a whole new level. Before I played it I never thought I’d get as invested in the game world while playing with other people as I did in this game. I thought it was a campaign role to deliver such an experience. I have never imagined that any multiplayer game could possibly bring me into it’s world so much. Battlefield 1 is not only a game. It’s art. And while it can’t be called a masterpiece because it’s flawed with a couple of balance issues but it most definitely is another step in showing the reality of war and immersion in video games.… Expand

    EA se ríe de los usuarios permitiendo a los "cheaters" campar a sus anchas sólo para crear una comunidad tóxica y forzarnos a que compremos sus nuevos juegos a aquellos que aún queremos disfrutar de Battlefield 1. Aunque un server entero reporte, EA no hace nada. Y si bloqueas al "chetto" EA se vuelve a reír de ti emparejándote de nuevo con él la siguiente vez que buscas partida. Vergonzoso. Si bloqueo a un jugador lo mínimo es que no tenga que volver a verlo en el juego. Por esta vergonzosa política unido a los micro pagos es por lo que no debemos comprar ningún producto con el sello de EA hasta que empiecen a valorar más a los jugadores y menos al dinero.

    En cuanto al juego, es entretenido porque no hay muchos juegos similares. Visualmente es bonito y sigue siéndolo en 2021. Pero es un juego muy mediocre. El juego está lleno de misiones absurdas que debes completar si quieres tener todas las medallas. Las misiones no requieren de ninguna habilidad y sólo consisten en "grindear" cosas como 1500 reanimaciones o destruir un coloso móvil con una Kolibri (WTF?). El armamento es absurdo e insultante, sin ningún realismo ni fidelidad histórica. Todos los ejércitos tienen acceso a todas las armas y vehículos además de que dentro del armamento encontramos prototipos y armamento irreal que convierten el campo de batalla en un conglomerado de gente corriendo mientras dispara ametralladoras automáticas. Todo muy WW1 oye. Además de incluir vehículos y armamento "cáncer" para "tryhards" que permiten hacer cosas como aparcar un vehículo fuera del mapa para bombardear a placer a los enemigos que aparecen en tu radar. Muy justo y equilibrado todo.

    The game doesn't get a 10 because sometimes it feels a little too casual, like when you get demolished by elite classes or ass-raped by a zeplin, but you also get a lotta times in those elites and behemoths so it's not that big of a deal, and it feels more like Battlefront 2 (the OG good one) then it feels like Battlefield. I still recommend it tho, really **** fun game.
