    This game is incredible and follows up BF4 nicely (we won't talk about Hardline...). The graphics are incredible and the game play is tight. I'm glad a shooter has gone back to its roots instead of progressing into the future with every new release - I'm talking about you COD!

It's a true first person shooter that allows skill to come from the tactical thought processes of the player, rather than on the reliance of gun play we see in other franchises which most often rewards the player holding the weapon loaded with the most game breaking perks. The campaign stories are both beautiful, well thought out, and often criticized for their one flaw. Leaving the player wanting to do so many more!!! Classes and squads matter, and each person is a valuable member of the team. I say this with the understanding that many players however may not know their value, or how to utilize the tools given to them provided they choose a class that benefits both their team and skill set. Regardless, Battlefield one is a joy to play, and will leave anyone breathless at the scope and beauty of the sights and experiences they are sure to have in almost every playlist available. Expand

    Battlefield 1 blew me away of how good it was. I was pretty exited for battlefield 1 and it did not dissapoint at all. This is not only the best battlefield game to this date but one of the best games ever.

    Как обычно DICE сделали прорыв графики, дизайна, механики и т.д. По началу когда начинаешь играть в BF1, у тебя глаза разбегаются из-за масштабности карты. Ты не понимаешь куда бежать, где занять хорошую позицию. Но после одной недели, ты играешь и не замечаешь тех моментов, которые были в начале.Как обычно DICE сделали прорыв графики, дизайна, механики и т.д.

    Maybe it's number one in the FPS games available in the market right now
    but i still hope they will improve the online servers for PS4

    An interesting campaign sample, but does not let deep. But a great multiplayer! In this field is the best warfare FPS of all time in the present. A lot of variety and a lot of action in a game with an enveloping environment, enriched with excellent music, well framed for the time of the 1st World War. Innovative and odd!

Having it take place in a time period that is often not touched by developers is a welcome change of pace. It has a decent amount of content to keep one invested, and the two map packs that recently came out change enough to make them good, if unnecessary editions to the game.

    In terms of graphics, the game is gorgeous, and often times looks like it could be photo realistic. There is some minor issues with character model glitches but other than that it is still fantastic. The sound design is great as well, with all the guns sounding like they have real firepower behind them.

    The gameplay is also very good, though a bit arcade-y. Being able to drive and fly in vehicles from the time period is great, and the shooting is a lot of fun, but the prevalence of automatic firearms is a bit odd considering the time period wouldn't have that many and mostly had bolt action rifles. The spawning of vehicles and planes from outside the map is also something I'm personally not a fan of, as I like having the vehicles on map to get in at any time. But the overall gameplay is fun and is challenging enough to make you want to come back.

    The Campaign, or "War Stories", are an interesting addition. Most of them are pretty well made, having a good production value behind them, though I feel like focusing on only 1 of the campaigns, and making it longer and have better character development would've been a better idea. The lack of any campaign for the central powers was also a missed opportunity, especially considering the rather "Gray" nature of the first World War.

    Overall, it is a fun game and a nice addition to the Battlefield franchise, and I think we will see a rise in shooting games from the world war period again due to its success, and nowadays, I think this will be a welcome change.

    Battlefield 1 is the latest in Dice's FPS franchise and the development team have taken the game back to World War I setting going back to classic world war shooters of the 90s and 00s

    Positives: +Awesome World War I setting. Have been saying for years that World War I is an underused era for First Person Shooters and while its not as realistic as other World War I games Dice have
    Battlefield 1 is the latest in Dice's FPS franchise and the development team have taken the game back to World War I setting going back to classic world war shooters of the 90s and 00s

    Positives:

    +Awesome World War I setting. Have been saying for years that World War I is an underused era for First Person Shooters and while its not as realistic as other World War I games Dice have done a great job in making it feel like World War I with the environments, vehicles and weapons.

    + The new Tanks. The new tanks are a fantastic addition to the franchise. Choosing what tank best suits your strategy or the teams needs adds variety to the game modes.

    + New airships/train/battleship reinforcements. These new additions can really help during a game in which would usually come off as vastly imbalanced. Depending on the gap in the scores the losing team in certain modes gets reinforcements in the shape of a tank/ an airship or a train depending on the map. I rarely see a game with a large score gap as the reinforcement vehicles do a great job of balancing up the teams.

    + The new bayonet charging mechanic. A nice new mechanic that suits the World War I era as bayonets were commonly used. Its also a good last resort weapon if you run out of ammo and the other time you would have to be close to your enemy but you can switch between using a normal melee and the charging bayonet.

    + Single player. Over the years the battlefield series has lost its footing with the single player campaign trying to duplicate what COD did with modern warfare only for it to seem badly written or over patriotic. The BF1 campaign is a surprisingly good campaign certainly making it one of the best campaigns of battlefield in recent years.

    +Soundtrack. The new soundtrack is an absolute wonder in this game and really adds to the games and adrenaline rush you have while playing. I still sometimes get goosebumps when charging over the hills and the heroic soundtrack blares out over the gunfire. Its such a fantastic feeling.

    +Operations mode. A new mode that allows players to relive certain battles of World War I with having two teams of attack and defence with the attacking team's objective to capture all objectives which is spread out over two maps. The attacking team gets 3 battalions to capture all objectives to win the round.

    Negatives:

    - Environments are too open for snipers. It seems that Dice tried a mix of open areas mixed with closed village quarters but unfortunately even the villages are too open for snipers and since World War I has mainly rifles it makes it all too easy for long range weapons to hit their target.

    - Operations mode was fun for the first week but has suddenly turned to become a very frustrating mode which is largely imbalanced. The attacking team can barely make it past the first 2 objectives in most maps and 19 out of 20 times they will lose. A lot of it is down to the inept players who don't think about any strategy but it always ends the same way. Dice will need to balance it out if they want people to continue to play it.

    - The campaign has too many characters and is too short. Only 5 hours long with 5 different characters it tries to make the player care about the characters in the stories but when the stories are so short and there are too many characters it is hard to feel any empathy towards them.

    - Locking squads is a baffling decision by Dice. I don't understand the point of allowing players to lock squads. It completely disregards the point of teamwork and the squads itself. Most of the time I play I see 1 or 2 players in a squad by themselves and its locked. Just makes no sense and needs to be taken out.

    - Frostbite physics are still awkward. So many times my player has refused to jump a small object or get stuck in something tiny. The driving physics for the motorcycles and trucks are really weird and the handling is all over the place.

    - Gas grenade is abused. Anywhere around an objective players throw 4-5 gas grenades and while everyone puts on masks it feels like the battlefront game where everyone was hip firing and hoping to kill the other player first.

    - Unable to spawn on squad member under fire. I don't understand why I cant. By all means warn me but surely its my decision whether I want to spawn on a squad member being shot at.

    - Skipping the spawn waiting time. Another mechanic which allows the player to skip the re-spawn waiting time only to then wait to re-spawn at a chosen location. Absolutely zero point to it and players don't wait for medics and instantly re-spawn which discourages medics to bother being medics.

    Overall the first 20 hours of this game are a blast and I had a lot of fun with it but over the last 10-15 hours I am enjoying it less and less and I played over 300 hours of Battlefield 4 and it never bored me. Its a step in the right direction as I love the World War settings but there's a lot to be fixed as well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brilliant game. This really pushes the limits of multiplayer giving us the best WW1 experience in gaming history. It feels so authentic and real and terrifying. The graphics and sound are stunning. Maps are brilliant and require skill, map knowledge and team work to accomplish objectives.

    Operations is the epitome of grand scale warfare and feels like you are part of a massive war.

    Single player is well written, voice acted and plays well.

    Buy this over COD! It is by far the better game offering so much more depth.

This is now a game relying more on skill, less on the gadgets of auld lang syne(look it up). Snipers will have their way with you for sure as I can tell no distinguishable difference from getting shot at 50 yards or 1000 and on the big maps, and they are big, the distance you run only to be sniped 100 yards from the objective can be a big ol B. However, it makes you stop and plan your route unlike the linear CoD maps, and that gives Battlefield the realistic feel the fans have come to love. I can feel $150 worth of DLC coming, though, and that sucks.
    Bottom line is this game deserves at least a rental before making a final decision, but if you are like me, and love the series?Then purchasing it is a no brainer!

    Battlefield 1 is a welcomed edition to the FPS genre, it mixes historical moments with over the top action sequences that are fun and somewhat educational, though it is more than just a history lesson with a trigger.

    It's single player campaign stories, called War Stories, are told through the eyes of 6 different people all fighting in the same war which was spread throughout Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa. The characters and stories are well written and well acted, with a couple exceptions. (The Australian kid, did not sound Australian)

    The single player campaign feels as if Dice were not willing to gamble the time and money on developing a deeper and longer story, as the Battlefield franchise is mostly aimed towards the multiplayer fanbase. The single player campaign is a great way to teach new players the mechanics of multiplayer without boring you with a shallow narrative but I am still waiting for something to top the story of 'Brother's In Arms - Hell's Highway'.
    I just hope the developers at Dice hear enough positive feedback to maybe focus on developing a full story next time around, because it was really enjoyable.

    The sound design and visuals are the best I have seen and heard in a video game. From the sound of tanks moving closer, to the silhouettes of enemies piercing through fog, to the sound of bombs falling from planes overhead, to the massive destruction they bring to the landscape and buildings around you. Simply amazing.

    As for the multiplayer, it is everything the single player campaign has to offer all condensed into amazingly designed maps which are a joy to play. This game is a must have for anyone who loves FPS and even for new players to the genre, I would highly recommend this.

    When I first played this game I felt frustrated. It felt like your playing your match with your least favorite gun.
    -the hit detection is not absolute.
    -crazy recoil, machinegun shoots like UZI
    -slow reload speed (some rifles reloads like pump shotguns indivisual bullet reloads)
    -you cannot slide 2 meter anymore since there is no boost pack and you cannot jump 10 meters and dunk on enemy's face. The movement feels somewhat more restrict than other fps we recently played.

    YEAH I was so used to futuristic fps too and forgot that glory feelings of realistic war game. I count my bullets because long reload can kill me, I don't spray because it gets no where, (remember vmp,vesper,hvk,etc all those ultra guns that can kill anyone from close to middle range by spraying? It won't happen here. Your holding guns with 5-to 10 bullets capacity you will want every bullet counts)

    Yeah so if your used to futuristic shooters like my self it will be frustrated at first. Bare with it for some time , I'm sure you will get used to it and play the first most realistic world war shooter till date.

    If you're into online multiplayer FPS, this is the must-have of 2016, regardless of the platform you're playing on. It's the package as a whole that stands out. Beautiful graphics, more destruction than ever, great atmosphere, well put together maps and some fresh multiplayer modes like Operations and War Pigeons. Also a decent single player is included. While the BF franchise failed miserable when it came to SP experience in previous iterations, Dice now hits back in full force with a strong narrative covering the awe and agony of several characters.

    Operations feels like the new main Battlefield mode. A full match spans across multiple games, spread over 2 or 3 different maps. The full map is divided into multiple sectors, where the attacking team must capture all points within a sector in order to move onto the next. When all sectors are captured, the battle moves onto the next map. The attacking team only has a limited number of tickets (respawns), and loses when it fails to capture all sectors before they run out of tickets. The attacking team gets three chances. After failing a first time, the ticket counter is reset, a special vehicle like an airship is brought in for support and the fight starts from the last taken sector. Each operation is surrounded with a narrative giving context to the battle, and how different outcomes could have changed the course of the war drastically. This emphasizes how well finished this game is.

    + Best graphics ever seen for almost fully destructible environments
    + Music
    + Atmosphere. Be ready for some bone chilling moments
    + Both SP and MP well worked out
    + A lot of good MP maps. I didn't find any that I don't really like, which is a first for me considering all possible MP shooters.
    + Operations mode
    + Lots of experience customization possible (like crosshair color and thickness to name one)

    - Framedrops in Conquest mode (only occasional in other large modes)
    - Aim assist is a little overdone. Should be more subtle when activated
    - Laggy menus

I cannot imagine the sheer man-hours necessary to craft a game of this depth and scope. The impeccable attention to detail and intent to honor the men and women who were involved in this horrific period really is incredible. I've never seen effort like this represented in gaming. DICE, once again, have out-done themselves. The SP campaign, for a change, is heartfelt and exquisite. The cut scenes are extremely well done and the gameplay is superb. But, as with every BF game, MP is why I pay the price for admission. And it is wonderful. The sound....the destruction...the deliciously bone-thrumming quality of the gunplay/gun handling. I don't know how they do it, but DICE dishes out the best overall feel for gunplay I've ever experienced in FPS gaming. And BF1 is unique in its representation of this feel. The pace is different and more languid, without being boring...more classically cinematic. The feeling of antiquation is there, expressing a period of armaments so far removed from modern day, that they feel almost alien. And it works. When I play...I feel transported to another time. It's exciting and new...different in the best possible way.

    When I heard DICE was going back to WWI for their next BF game, I was very concerned. I had an narrow view of that war which amounted to the dull impression of the quagmire of trench warfare. I simply could not conceive of how this era could be made into an interesting video game. Imagine my surprise when firing up BF1 for the first time. Pupils dilating and being swept away for hours in that timeless bliss that is immersive gaming. I'm looking forward to years of that feeling with this game. I'm a happy gamer, to say the least :)

    Despite a very short campaign, Battlefield 1 still offers the best single-player experience in the series. Mix it with a huge, brilliant multi-player that the series is known for and you have an almost complete package. Definitely the best approach to World War 1 yet.
