    Почему в такой известной и дорогой игре, такая убогая синг составляющая?

    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.

Now to be honest the highlight for me remains battlefield bad company 2 with the return of the lovable losers in the campaign and the incredibly fun multiplayer. With a ton to unlock, destructible environments, and great large maps with close quarter combat amongst infantry and vehicles abound. The later entries improved on this with an okay story line for single player but ever increasing fun to be found in multiplayer. Now not to say that they did not have issues with glitches, connections, or just plain crashing in the middle of a game. However this was nothing compared to the slow plodding game play in the story mode if I could actually finish a chapter without it constantly crashing and sending me out to the xbox menu screen. I never did finish the story mode due to this issue happening every few minuets could not advance so I decided to switch over to multiplayer. Between the long drawn out operations mode which gives multiple chances for an enemy to take an objective as well as huge support units that can really unbalance the match for defenders. When in control they seemed unresponsive and inaccurate with weapons failing to hit its target over and over. The unlocks are few and far between with only a few unlockable early on with no real progression with the ranking system unlike previous entries. This unfortunately goes right into the battle pack system with the parts of weapons being unlocked rather than an entire firearm. The lack of weapons and gear to unlock makes every unit operate pretty much the same where as in previous entries you could mix and match to find what works best for you. I got none of that in this entry as for the vehicles they handle well for the most part horse took time to get used to the planes still handle like crap but slightly better learning curve. The only positive is the incredible sound design and graphics.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first impression was: ok, this game looks pretty good. But then i started to look closer. So where do i start...
    Weapons:
    Lets start with the new weapon custimization, which actually doesnt exist. As a player you have to choose between several prebuilt weapons with different attachments, which only purpose is to make the amount of weapons not looking miserable. Your are able to change the zoom and can sometimes choose betweens 2 different iron sights on the most smgs or self loading rifles, but thats everything (sorry, but i wont count useless skins for weapons as custimization, which ill get into later on). So compared to Battlefield 4 and the old weapon system, i was really disappointed. And overall, being in the menu it doesnt feel like battlefield at all.
    Vehicles:
    Like in Destiny pvp, dice cant really come to a conclusion on how to properly adjust your vehicle maintenance. From several changes (from more direct repair, to less direct repair, to faster direct repair,...)- And trying to solve this will definitely go on, because this paper tanks make too many people sit on a hill with their artillery truck, getiing maybe 15 kills in one round of conquest, which is a goddamn waste of a tank. The tanks sidearms are mostly useless, resulting in an 6 space A7V tank with only the driver reliing on the ground troops. And as many tank drivers realized, you cant tank that much and without protection, youre done in less than 30 seconds, resulting in people camping on hills with tanks.
    Gameplay:
    At best i start with something positive this time. Dice did actually make some improvements on the gameplay. They erased bugs which were existing since the release of battlefield...after several month. Everyone who played conquest will have experienced the medic bug, which hasnt made you able to properly use your weapons upon getting revieved. But sadly, i still have this bug, like many other players, and since reviving is key part in battlefield this HAS to work 100%.
    Overall the gameplay, beside the bugs, feels pretty sharp. Fluent movement, physics, is actually how i wanted it to be. Another part of the new Bf game is the behemoth, the most retarded feature in a battlefield game so far. When a team gets behind too much, it recieves a huge armored tank, train, airship or ship, which are only annoying and the reason most players ambrace the new frontlines mode much more than oldsc...oh wait, newschool conquest.
    Graphics:
    They look very good, so does the atmosphere.
    UI:
    Battlefield 1 features a new way of selecting the teams starting vehicles, which sucks incredibly, seriously. Go watch Bf4 and then compare to BF1, youll see yourself. For changing or customizing the vehicle of your choice, there has to be one available, which is retarded and gets me mad every...time.
    The maps:
    For battlefield-standard, they are really small. Too small. And thats why you only have maximum 2 tanks per team, which is sad, compared to BF4s 5 tanks. Nevertheless the design itself looks pretty nice on most maps, especially forest of argonne is one of the best maps ive ever seen, despite its infantry only and also small.
    The game-modes:
    It features the classic conquest, hardcoremodes and normal deathmatch. Dice added throughout some new game-modes which were actually awesome, but removed them after one month and havent brought them back in. Which is one reason the game doesnt offer enough content in terms of game modes. So nearly one year after the release, im still missing modes like "airfight only", "tankfight only",...
    Everything else:
    Battlepacks! Beside the behemoth, the most useless stuff ever in a game. They offer skin variations for weapons, and they are actually the only longterm motivation bf1 offers, despite the fact that they are useless and not motivating at all. Which shows in massive decrease in player count (visit bftracker for the numbers). Too many players took a look at the good graphics, played for a month, stating the game is awesome and gave the game 9/10, which it doesnt deserve. Since you are able to unlock nearly any weapon within the first 10 hours, the game has no longterm motivation at all.
    That being said, the release of upcoming dlcs is taking ages, not to mention urgent bugfixes and improvements, which are still missing. The community sucks really hard. Since many people played bf1 because the last CoD also sucked, you get too many teammates which dont revive, supply or play the objective (or spot enemies, which also doesnt work properly (key feature of the Bf series, but hey the CoD guys give 9/10 for the looks, so who cares)).
    Last word:
    The game could get 9/10 without any problem and the potential it offers is incredible. But still it wont get me the Bf-feeling from BF4 or the earlier games, maybe because the real Bf veterans are still playing the old games. So if the game would really be 9/10,like many people claim, then why is this massive decrease in player count?!    … Expand

The story of Battlefield 1 cannot decide whether it's embracing the moral gray area of World War 1 or trying to be about good guys and bad guys. There may be a moment of two soldiers spotting each other from a distance and each simultaneously deciding not to kill each other, followed by a mission where it is necessary to mow down countless German soldiers in order to complete the objective. The gameplay, however, is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. If the story was tonally inconsistent and incoherent, the gameplay never strays from monotonous, boring, and dull. There are very few changes to structure or form between this game and other generic, by the numbers FPS games. The shooting mechanics are very simple games of whack-a-mole, but in this aspect I do feel as though Battlefield 1 is superior to Infinite Warfare. It doesn't have the messy, over-the-top wall running or jump pack mechanics, so it's more simplistic. This results in the moment to moment gameplay being cleaner than Infinite Warfare's messy and chaotic battles. However, this works against the game in another aspect because despite not having the lows of Infinite Warfare, it cannot embrace the highs. When the movement mechanics and more frantic gunplay in Infinite Warfare work together, it can be fun and entertaining, despite how little time is spent in which the mechanics do work together. Similarly, instead of many missions being terrible and one or two being decently fun and providing some interesting moments, Battlefield 1 pumps out consistently mediocre missions without fail, and never delivers anything beyond the most basic experiences required of a shooting genre. Interlocking mechanics and physics allow for some magical moments that can be entertaining, until the repetitive missions and unoriginal story sink in. Really it's up to personal preference which is worse. I personally believe that Infinite Warfare is the inferior game because for the first few hours of the game, Battlefield 1 can be pretty fun, but for me, it got old way too fast for me to give it anything more than a 4 out of 10.… Expand

    This game has been out for almost a year and already has so much DLC but the fact that I'm still experiencing regular glitches/server issues is just unacceptable. The lack of coop in the campaign is also very disappointing considering the let down of the BF4 campaign. Overall, the game feels fun but that never lasts longer than a round or two because of the ugly flaws.

    All this solo part of the game looks just like a tutorial before the online play, which is the main part of the game.

    I played only few hours in the online modes here and I didn't like it at all. For comparison the online mode in COD WW2 was rather better for me.
    A lot of modes that are almost same to each other, classic chaos, for such gmaes, with random shoots and kills, if you don't play with your own team.

    You know you have bought a faulty product when they release a patch with over 100 "fixes" within weeks of the game going on sale. The silly thing is that after this patch, many of the most obvious faults in the game have still not been fixed !! This game could have been good, but sadly, it is rubbish.

    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

    Half of content locked behind DLC. Too many long loading screens in multiplayer and it takes way too long to find a proper match (one where there's actually other players and it's actually the map you searched for) and even if you do find a match, odds are it will either be incredibly easy or incredibly hard because of poor autobalance.

    Battlefield 1 is a brainless, benign, brobdingnagian, bewildering, and bore-some experience. Battlefield 1 may be the biggest game in terms of scope and aspiration but that doesn't mean it's the best. If you think you're having fun you're lying to yourself. I give Battlefield 1 a 1 if only for it's bold and breathtaking graphics, there just should've been more to it aside from that.

    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

Or you get killed by an enemy that spawned next to you and kills you in 1-2 shots. The mutliplayer only includes 9 maps, no doubt the other maps will be locked behind the $50 "Premium Pass".

It feels fresh, the weapons are generally balanced, the maps all look great, flying planes and driving vehicles is fun - I could not stop laughing as I rolled a heavy tank full of people down a mountainside without taking any damage on one map. That said, what is up with horses? Why can't you use regular weapons on them? Why is the trample detection so janky? I ran over a guy laying in front of me three times in a row with my horse and he just shot me off, which made me feel like a total idiot. Also, why did DICE make the rear facing machine guns on planes so powerful? Those machine guns do so much more damage than the actual machine guns on the fighter planes that it is nearly impossible to destroy a plane you're chasing if that plane has even a decent gunner on board. Why do you have to unlock pistols for every class, and why do different classes have different pistols? They're just pistols. Let me get a decent pistol for the scout class; the class is already bad enough for close quarters combat. The final scout rifle you unlock is a joke; it's no more powerful than the ones you unlock at level 1, though it shoots one bullet before you have to reload. Anti air guns, even if they don't hit your plane cause it to bounce around as if it is entering a sharknado. I'm sure I could go on, but as I've indicated, the game is not perfect; and some of the 'balancing' Dice has done since the beta (the light tank, it shoots so incredibly slow and is so much weaker now that I personally find it nearly useless) has actually made certain features that were overpowered so underpowered that they've become useless.… Expand

    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.

    Set in the past but still a defining modern day shooter. Smart and uproariously entertaining. [Christmas 2016, p.62]

    The rougher edges of WWI make Battlefield a louder, fiercer, more engaging shooter. But the carefully interwoven campaign and multiplayer aspects show a more reflective side. [Christmas 2016, p.86]
