    Игра хорошая. А онлайн на Xbox - мёртвый. За сутки удаётся найти 1-2 боя. Ни на базовых картах, ни на преступных - нигде никого нет. В подавляющем большинстве в любой режиме на карту закидывает 1-2 человек. Жаль, игра то хорошая.

    As a life long Battlefield player and fan, this is the worst installment yet. It feels like DICE is trying too hard these days to be artistic, putting setting, story and visuals over actual gameplay and player experience.

It feels like DICE is trying too hard these days to be artistic, putting setting, story and visuals over actual gameplay and player experience.

    Forcing me to go through the opening battle, showing me the names of real soldiers that died, might be aimed to tug on my emotions, but it interrupts my gameplay experience and teaches me nothing about the game.

    The single player missions are interrupted by characters telling their story (while I am shooting germans), which either makes me miss action on screen or the action on screen makes me miss out on the story.

    It's all wrapped in a nice cover, with the world map to select what I want to play, but it feels disorganized and sketchy.

    When it comes to actual gameplay, BF1 is just a shambles. The AI and scripting is beyond bad (having 6 AI enemies come around a corner, almost falling over each other is neither realistic nor gamey, it's just **** The AI often stands around doing nothing, then realizing they need to do something, spin 180 degrees and fire wildly or toss a grenade. The incredible overuse of flamethrower enemies is laughable, specially since you seem to hit their fuel tank with every shot.

    Weapons feel lackluster and dull. Audio and VFX feedback is a shadow of what it was with other BF titles or other games out there. Overall the game just feels beyond slow, including vehicles and movement in general.

    This year we have been spoiled with great shooters. Doom, Gears 4, Titanfall 2 - BF1 feels like the weakest of the lot so far.

    It has the usual BF1 multiplayer, which in theory should be fun, but with the shooting and game mechanics of this installment, it fails to grab me.

    It's interesting that most of the reviewers praising this game seem to focus on visuals and setting. If they would focus on actual gameplay, I doubt they would score the game as high.

    It's an interesting concept, but if you really want a good shooter experience get Titanfall 2 now and BF1 later when it's cheaper.    … Expand

    Absolutely ridiculous load times. Even things that shouldn't have any load time, like QUTTING THE GAME. Lots of camera bugs. Lots of framerate dips. The new "dynamic weather" just means the maps get foggy and impossible to see anything for half the match. There is no team balancing so almost every match ends up with one team having twice as many players as the other.

    This is one of the worst displays of any shooter of this generation, DICE could have thrown together random guns from every title they've ever made and it would still be better than the utter contrived mess of a game.

    Almost through my entire time playing this game all I could see was the glaring flaws, exploits and glitches that were never ending. Some pistols were stronger than normal assault rifles, some light machine guns could beat a sniper at any range and the game is overall so unbalanced you may as well not even play it if you have it.

    When DICE tried to patch these problems they made the game even worse and unbalanced just to show there utter ineptitude to balance a game in any sense of the word

    Battlefield 1 has around 5 times less guns then Battlefield 4 shipped, customization is non-existent except swapping out guns with zero attachments unless you count a bayonet which literally every primary except LMGs can have

    Certain maps such as the desert ones are so unbalanced that one time has almost certain victory on certain game modes such as capture the flag.

    This should not be allowed and this games only redeeming qualities are it's visuals and setting, if you want a good shooter play Battlefield 4 before you play this abhorrent unbalanced mess.    … Expand

If you're expecting improvement on BF4, don't get your hopes up. BF1 is so unimaginative and boring - I was really looking forward to this game, I thought it would be a fresh chapter for Battlefield and a game I could enjoy for the next year or so. When I first started playing, I was really impressed, it's a stunning, cinematic game with really quite immersive sound effects. But after the first 10 hours or so of Multiplayer battles I got bored.

    For me there's 2 really big problems I have with the game causing it to get boring.
    1- There's a real lack of maps and the ones that are available are not designed for all game modes.If you play domination on one map in particular, whoever spawns on the correct side will be pretty much guaranteed a win because of the advantage you get in position. The maps have got boring very quickly and most of them are catered for sniping with too many large open areas.

    2- For me BF1 has the worst progression/unlock system of any battlefield I've played. It's so easy to unlock nearly all of the guns, and then there's a huge gap in level before you can unlock the Level 10 guns, which are basically the best guns in the game. I understand it's world war 1 and there wasn't quite the arsenal available that we have now, but the way they've done it is really poor.

    The shooting mechanics are pretty good and in general the game plays well with not many bugs/glitches. It's just the longevity that this game lacks and it really disappointed me. The Premium subscription is also a real let down. Gamers' don't want to pay £50 for half a game on release and then be asked for another £40 to get the rest of it. I really hope there is an end to paid DLC in the next battlefield, it splits the community and eventually you'll end up with less players because of it.    … Expand

The little spotting you can do is bugged because you have to keep hitting the button over and over again to get it to work. The ONLY reason I am giving it a 2 is the campaign. It is VERY short but entertaining. WHY could they have just used what worked in BF4 and kept that. Even a reskin of BF4 would have been better!… Expand

    -SLOW and I mean SLOW XP GAIN-let me get on that. It's like Ubi Soft's Rainbow six siege. The idea is to give you the smallest amount of XP possible per match. Why you might ask? So you spend real money(awful micro transactions on XP boosts and other items. I find it appalling that as I looked in the upper right hand corner I see time to next level-2 hours when the matches are at least 25 minutes a piece.
    -Battle packs-Play over 4 hours of matches to get maybe one battle pack-which you don't even really need anyway..you can scrap the battle packs for in game currency (most of the time it is only worth 30) to buy other items. Or if you have money and want to spend it you can buy the battle packs..hell they even have the short cut packs now which they started in BF3. Now a days EA has the model when 60 bucks doesn't get you the game anymore they want you to spend 150..I got the deluxe edition which gave me two skins a skin for a titan fall and some weapons that i coulda bought in game for 200 currency in game..Ridiculous..EA sucks.Ea Destroys everything it touches look at Bioware!

    EA and DICE have done an amazing job bringing something fresh to the table in picking WW1 as the game's theme. Multiplayer is probably the best thing aspect of the game, and the well-built maps and cool game modes will keep me coming back to Battlefield 1 for the coming months.

    With many games feeling hampered by a desire to try and blend authenticity with sensationalism, Battlefield 1 is a hell of a lot of fun – a visual powerhouse and a fine return to form for DICE that’s sadly hampered by stretches of extreme frustration caused by the studio’s desire to take one step too many into the past.
