    Battlefield 1 is a great game, but the people giving it 10's are crazy or haven't played the game long enough. The single player is a solid 10. It's super fun, immersive and tells a great story... but it's pretty short. The graphics throughout the game are gorgeous, and everything is perfectly fluid.

    Incredibly boring. Takes like 10 hours per class level just to unlock a second gun. Snipers seem to be the only useful guns since WW1 guns were trash and do no damage.

    Wow!! This game is amazing. Since the launch of the new generation consoles there hasn't been a game that has exceeded my expectations until now. DICE has done a tremendous job at delivering wonderful product. We are taken back to The Great War in an immersive environment filled with jaw dropping gameplay.

    Great game! It reminds me of the older Battlefield & Medal of Honour games on PC.
    The game looks great; sounds great.
    The weapons are very satisfying.
    Battlefield is back, if this doesn't put CoD in the ground.......I don't know what will.
    Well done DICE!

    Die Kampagne ist nicht schlecht für einen Multiplayer Titel, jedoch niemals mit einem klassischen Single FPS zu vergleichen. Grafik ist top. Der Multiplayer Part ist für Anfänger unspielbar, leider. Wahrscheinlich weil gerade so viele Pros spielen.

    Another generic FPS online game, this one with a WW1 gimmick. These have been done to death in recent years and the obligatory mountain of DLC is extortionate.

    In my opinion this is now the best Batllefield ever! Here are reasons:

    ●The story actually is quite decent
    ●The gameplay introduces new things to the franchise
    ●Graphics are absolutely stunning
    ●Its set in WW1 (Though it was a sad tragedy:(
    ●It looks better than Infinite Warfare

    Simply put, this game is the best FPS I've ever played. After almost a year of online play, I still find myself amazed at some of the action that can take place at any given time in matches. The last time I felt this way about a game was COD: WAW, and this game far surpasses that. Hope this franchise can continue to keep this up going forward (Battlefield: Hardline was a misstep, IMHO).Simply put, this game is the best FPS I've ever played.

    Battlefield 1 is the latest entry in the long running Battlefield francise. This game is supposed to be set in WW1. But you'll get confused and forget what era this game is supposed to be set in since everyone is running around with SMGs and LMGs that were never used in WW1.

    For real, though. This is another content lacking, unbalanced DICE shooter with 4-5 hours worth of gameplay since    Battlefield 1 is the latest entry in the long running Battlefield francise. This game is supposed to be set in WW1. But you'll get confused and forget what era this game is supposed to be set in since everyone is running around with SMGs and LMGs that were never used in WW1.

    For real, though. This is another content lacking, unbalanced DICE shooter with 4-5 hours worth of gameplay since the campaign is only 1-2 hours long and the multiplayer is barely worth playing since you'll die the moment you spawn in by some sniper, tank or bomber plane. If you reach rank 3 with all classes well you're pretty much done with the game since you don't get any more weapons untill rank 10. Which means you must grind away for hours and hours on the same 9 maps using the same weapons and vehicles over and over untill you're stupid enough to reach rank 10 and get 1 more weapon.

    There's also no variety in the soldiers. Even Star Wars Battlefront has more variety in the Stormtroopers and Rebels. Here they all look the same.

    Oh, and France and Russia 2 key factions in WW1 are locked behind a paywall. Meanwhile, America is in the base game although they didn't join the war untill late 2017.

    Like I said, the campaign is a boring, 1-2 hour experience. With no interesting main characters except for T.E Lawrence. So, do we get to play as him and experience epic adventure though the Middle East? Nope. Instead of actually playing as an interesting character we get to play as some random woman who was part of some tribe. So I bought this game just to play as an idol of mine. And it turns out he's just a side character with 10 or so minutes of screen time, Even the Lawrence of Arabia skins for the multiplayer is locked behind the deluxe edition paywall.

    So, I don't and probably never will recommend Battlefield 1. Just buy Verdun if you want a fun WW1 shooter with standard issue rifles and trench warfare. Because Battlefield 1 has none of those things.    … Expand

    A Decent Single Player with an Amazing Multiplayer
    Battlefield 1’s campaign tells the story of 6 different characters during the First World War...
    Each of the 6 chapters take place in different places of the world, and they all feel unique from one another….
    You’ll take to the ground, air, and shadows…
    You’ll be a tank searching for a friend… you’ll drive a tank trying to take control of the land, take to the sky as a gambler with a hint that maybe things didn’t happen the way he says it did, stealth through areas as a woman trying to sabotage war plans and destroy an armored train, and an Australian runner slicing through the trenches…
    The campaign in total will take about 5 an a half hours long to complete give or take, all depending on how often you die..
    And you will... a lot, as this game is brutal even on its normal difficulty…
    If you’re an aggressive players, you’re not going to do too well in all but 1 chapter as you can only take about 3 hits and you’re dead… and the checkpoints can be complete garbage at time...
    Especially considering how large locations are…
    For the most part, this isn’t just a run and gun linear shooter… when you touch ground you’re on a massive battlefield crawling with enemies…
    You have the choice to mark them all from a vantage point... sneak around them all with distractions or just avoiding them, sneak behind them for a quiet melee… get involved in a gun fight, the option for the most part is up to you, but there are many sections that force you to clear the area of enemies..
    Gunplay in this game can be pretty frustrating as again... 3 shots and you’re dead…
    all cover can be destroyed including houses, you do regenerate health, but it feels like an eternity before it will start, and hit detection in this game is far from perfect…
    Keep in mind I’m talking single player here.. Meaning internet connection isn’t at fault...
    Many times my bullets would go right through enemies doing no damage at all…
    But I only found this to be the case in single player, no noticeable problems in multiplayer...
    There are also annoying enemy variants like flamethrower guys and heavy armor guys who are invulnerable to bullets…
    You can kill the heavy with a grenade, but the flamethrower guy is invulnerable against bullets and grenades... he can only be killed by shooting his tank…
    Which you’d think a grenade would be fine for this, but no.. it’s not… really breaking immersion throwing in video gamey enemies like this when everything else feels so real…
    The camera would also get a little awkward when I would try to run and find cover, which is a real frustration when you’re taking part in a section of the chapter with tanks or the armored train…
    Especially since again, the checkpoints are so unforgiving and they can all instakill your character…
    These sections take time.. A lot of time… and patience... as well as a handful of other stealthy sections that can sometimes feel like they’re plucked out of a hitman game with their punishment for detection…
    These levels are absolutely gorgeous though, and I cared about all 6 characters during my brief time with them…
    The single player gameplay just unfortunately lacks a hint of polish which stops the campaign from ever wowing me…
    What did wow me however was the multiplayer…
    The maps are well designed.. The mayhem of zeppelins, tanks, horses, and airplanes is almost magic…
    You never really think of perspective in multiplayer games... people are usually for the most part doing the same thing as you, but better or worse…
    A bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off…
    Here however, it’s such a great feeling to sit back and realize that everything you see going on, is another person having an entirely different perspective than you are…
    Controlling airships.. Planes…taking them out... riding horseback into a battle zone…
    It really breathes life into the competitive gaming realm…
    Battlefield essentially has 6 different game types…
    domination with is your typical capture and hold, rush witch is an attack and defend game, team death match where most kills wins… , war pigeons which is essentially a capture the flag match.. Get the pigeon, release the pigeon, and stop enemies from doing the game.
    conquest, which is capture and hold but with complete mayhem going on… a true feeling of war…
    and finally operations, which gives a back story to each of the fighting locations.. Here you either try to gradually capture all sections by capturing and holding 1 to 3 separate spots of a map or defend these sections by filling a kill counter...
    Battlefield offers something here for everyone… a solid single player experience good enough to stand on its own... and a brilliant multiplayer that brings the multiplayer genre to new heights...
    I give battlefield 1...

    Firstly and most importantly I'll talk about the AI, it's probably the worst I've seen in an AAA game since the year 2000. The fact that the enemy charge at you, constantly shooting with no tactics is painful. While driving a tank you have an near infinite number of enemies charging and shooting at your impervious tank, they cannot do any damage, they do not take cover and are happy to die. The artillery that can actually do damage, fires at very consistent patterns allowing you to reverse the tank to avoid hits and move forward again to shoot them. You rinse and repeat the same tactics with every artillery. I think the developers should be ashamed of their work.

    As for game play mechanics, being able to pop out instantly, repair a tank that has taken multiple artillery shells hits by cranking a wrench is silly, but actually forgivable and you can allow that arcade mechanics. However, if a game does use silly arcade mechanics, do not use cut scenes that try to impart a serious note, it is ridiculous to attempt to impart the serious horrific nature of war alongside missions that have aircraft trying to take out Anti-Aircraft Guns.    … Expand

    EA and Dice made their marketing on the fact that it was about the 1st world war, where is it?
    France and Russia not there, automatic weapons everywhere, super tanks that go super fast.

    There's nothing from the 1st world war, and the worst is that to get the full game you have to spend 130 $/€.

This is a game changer. not just the graphics are amazing, but the views are one thing you will surely recognize. This game focus more on the players skill, then buying weapons and gadgets.

    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.
