    In Battlefield I can play only Team Deadmatch, Conquest is too massive and boring.
    For me best battlefield and finaly no 99 attachment for every weapon.
    Also like the settings of maps and graphics.

This too, combined with an attempt at realism, as it flashes up made up names for made up people fighting in a made up battlefield. I'm supposed to forget that there were no submachine guns. That tanks were lumbering sheds hardly capable of anything. That planes didn't drop bombs but for out the window. I didn't, nor did I buy this pasty and pathetic attempt to convey that war is hell. War isn't kids playing a game, let's not cheapen it.… Expand

    A spectacular experience with amazing multiplayer and hard hitting action and visuals. This game is a genre-defining experience with moving storylines in the campaign which help reveal the people in and the horrors of WW1.

    Only criticism - a short campaign which limits its hard hitting plots. A longer campaign would result in a perfect game. MUST BUY.

    Battlefield 1 which dawns on the combat of “The Great War”or commonly known as World War 1.EA Dice discovered a fresh game design with the new genre of gameplay compared the past future or modern shooters in the past 10 years.

    The Game developers have found a new and fun way to play with an extensive campaign featuring 6 war stories that show each theatre of combat in the 1914-18 war.The stories including 5-6 missions showing many ways to play so the player feels they are in a free world,Sneaking through a German encampment to find mechanical parts for your tank ‘Bess’ or playing as a volounteerl in the Italian Arditi (“The Daring Ones”) fighting up the mountains against the Austro-Hungarian forces in a full armor suit composed of steel.

    On the other side the new 40-64 player multiplayer showing off the new “Operations” gamemode has completely blown players away.Drawing on all aspects of the war Operations provides you with the use of Armored Cars,Tanks including the A7V Heavy Tank help you capture the objectives and take the sectors to win the game.With the huge array of vehicles let’s talk about what you get if you don’t spawn in one.Players have a choice of 4 classes to choose from.Assault which utilizes sub-machine guns and explosives,Medic with mid ranged rifles and med packs,Support shows off LMGs and ammo crates and Scout utilizes the snipers and flares to spot enemies.If you decide to rank one of these classes up to rank 10 you’re rewarded with a rank 10 weapon including the Hellriegel,Selbstlater 1906,Huot Automatic,and the Martini-Henry.The impressive amount of weapons adds a lot of variety and fluid gameplay to lead your team to victory.

    EA Dice.The developer of the Battlefield franchise uses the Frostbite engine to add the almost realistic graphics to make you feel like your are in the game.Battlefield’s gameplay is the most action packed and flowing battlefield game I’ve ever played since I started playing with Battlefield:Bad Company 2.Even though the game has a lot of positive things going for it there are quite a few bad things that can happen.For instance,sometimes when you spawn in your screen will be all black and you can only see your teammates icons,objective icons and spotted enemies.Another is sometimes you’ll lag out of place and end up falling out of the map or if your trying to destroy an enemy tank your explosives won’t do anything.

    I received Battlefield 1 for my birthday and ever since I’ve only dealt with the bugs and glitches a few times and everything else has been amazing.The game is quite pricey at $60 but it’s worth it .I'm already level 54 and even though it takes longer to level up it becomes more exciting the longer you play to try and level up.Anyways my review on this game is mostly positive but if you want a fully detailed experience i recommend getting the game for yourself.    … Expand

    Battlefield® 1 brings fun back into history. Whether it be the “War Stories” of the campaign or the maps that resemble actual battles of World War 1.

    This game really gives a new experience to first person shooters (FPS). Most FPS’s are going ahead to the future with jetpacks and lasers but Battlefield® 1 dives into the past going back to world war 1. The campaign gives players a chance to get a mixed battle style. One mission you will be fighting in the skies above the Alps, and the next you're a lone fighter in the Arabian Desert.

    Dice and EA did a really good job on the multiplayer as well as the campaign. The class system lets you pick your way of war so to speak. You can choose the assault class if you want to be a front line fighter. The Medic class is self explanatory, running around to get revives. The support class comes with many offensive tools as well as ammo packs to resupply your teammates. The Scout class deals with snipers. This class comes with a flare gun as well as binoculars to help spot enemies.

    There are also three elite classes which you can’t spawn in with. These three are the tank hunter class, flame trooper kit, and the Sentry kit. The tank hunter comes with a rifle that specializes in blowing tanks up. The flame trooper kit comes with a flamethrower called the wex. The final elite class, the sentry class, comes with italian armor that lets you take hits while gunning everyone down.

    Overall my experience with this game has been amazing. Playing on the Xbox 1 it’s a little bit slower and lags more than pc. If you live in the Midwest expect a little more lag because you have to play on an east coast server.    … Expand

    I have been playing “Battlefield 1” for close to six months now after buying it for the Xbox One in October and I have played just about every other Battlefield game there is. “Battlefield 1” is unequivocally my favorite installment of the Battlefield series. The creators of the game took a risk in jumping back to world war one and challenging the games that have dominated the console market for years. Needless to say the risk paid off.

    “Battlefield 1” is the first mainstream military shooter that is based on World War One which is a refreshing change compared to the exaggerated futuristic shooters of “Call of Duty” . The game captures the horror of all out war and transfers it to the player perfectly. The campaign in “Battlefield 1” is made up of six individual war stories with smaller “objectives” . Without a storyline based on a main hero the player will really be able to feel the affects of all out war and see how different groups of people viewed the war. While the campaign is not as long as some would like, it is easily the best campaign in any first person shooter thus far. The campaign provides amazing gameplay as well as some scenic variety from the Argonne Forest in France to the Sinai Desert in Egypt.

    There is also something to be said about the multiplayer in “Battlefield 1”. Praised by many, the multiplayer consists of six different game modes Conquest, Rush, Team Deathmatch, War Pigeons, and Operations. The two new game modes being War Pigeons which is a new take on capture the flag, and operations which mirrors actual war with one side attacking and one side defending. The multiplayer gameplay will keep players playing for hours on end.

    Overall I have a great experience with “Battlefield 1”. The campaign and the multiplayer are nothing short of amazing. The gameplay is smooth with few problems or frustrations, the controls are very intuitive, and the learning curve is minimal. I consider this the best first person shooter there is and would recommend it to well… anyone.    … Expand

The campaign isn't very good, but no one was expecting it to be great either, it does serve as a good tutorial though. My only concern is that it takes really long to get into a game. for me, it takes 5-7 minutes on average for a game to load, and I have a pretty average internet speed. Anyways, the game is definitely worth a buy, and you won't find many other WW1 shooters like it.… 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.

    Battlefield 1... it's a game with a lot of hype behind it, especially with the leap to a WW1 setting in the game. So naturally, I had high expectations.

So naturally, I had high expectations.

    Come release, and the game is fun and looks absolutely amazing. The graphics are amongst the best I've ever seen, the sound tracks and the sound effects are fantastic, the general amount of balls DICE had to make the game and most importantly, the legacy this game leaves behind.

    However, whilst the actual gameplay is decent enough... I have to admit I'm disappointed.

    The rest of the game is actually pretty mediocre, and frankly, I find BF3 and even BF4 superior.

    The gameplay feels clunky and the guns feel pretty damn horrible, sure, it's WW1 but you could have done a better job there. There is nothing new added to the table, even the new Operations mode, at it's basic core, is basically conquest applied to a rush map which happens to take place over multiple maps.

    The customisation, is frankly for a Battlefield game, pathetic. There are so few weapons for each class, you may say otherwise with the bigger lists, but nope, that's because you have THREE OF THE SAME WEAPON. It just happens they are patterns of weapons with certain attachments. This effectively kills any degree of customisation, the only worthwhile thing to adjust is the zoom of your sights/scopes. Everything else in terms of weapon's customisation is frankly unnecessary. The inconsistent Warbond system, AKA, the Battlefield version of Reach's credits and Titanfall 2's merits systems, sucks balls, further making things worse.

    The long level up times, lack of customisation and rewards and long winded warbounds mean there is a major feeling of no to little progression at all, making me feel like I've already seen the entire game compared to BF3, which lasted far, far longer.

    The vehicle customisation is just idiotic, having to select the vehicle spawn and press a button IN THE MIDDLE OF A MATCH just to customise it is idiotic.

    Speaking of vehicles, no one ever uses the Landship (Mark V tank), the FT-17 is hardly used, and everyone just uses the damn A7V. Probably because everyone wants to just use the big gun AND drive the tank at the same time. It's a shame because I love driving the Landship only to find players that are too impatient to stay in the sponson guns and no one actually just gets in. Vehicle gameplay is just bad.

    The new Behemoth units can be powerful, but only with reliable teammates, otherwise they die in a matter of seconds to AA guns in the case of the airship, annoying Torpedo Boats (only used for that purpose and getting your backside to the otherside of the map) in the case of the Dreadnaught, and most tragically, the Armored Train dies to everyone using their favourite pieces of equipment! AT Grenades and AT Rocket Guns!

    The War Stories, the new campaign mini stories, whilst a nice idea, are actually underwhelming, with needless stealth sections in places and poor stories. With only the compulsory and the first one being any good.

    What's tragic is that you will probably have to pay for DLC to make the game more interesting and better, which sucks a lot.

    Putting the bad aside, the best thing about the game is the legacy it will have, revitalising interest in WW1, especially as it starts moving out of living memory into the pages of history.

    So, the game's graphics, sound design, the developers coconut balls and the legacy this game has is beyond flawless, and deserves 11 out of 10. However, the rest of the game is a mess. The gameplay feels sloppy, the War Stories are underwhelming, the vehicles are bad, their is a lack of innovation, a TERRIBLE LACK OF CUSTOMISATION AND PROGRESSION, and some frankly stupid design decisions put into the game. The result is a game which comes as a major disappointment. I can judge a game surely on good looks alone when it's actually a bit of a pain in the backside.

    In fact, it annoys me when people say it's one of the best games ever, that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, all the praise the game gets? BF1 doesn't deserve ANYWHERE NEAR the amount of praise it's getting now.

    Hence, I have to give it an average rating of 5/10. It's alright, but it's got some bad issues in the design and it's disappointing.    … Expand

With a emotion driven single player, an amazing game engine, a beautiful original score, and an addictive multiplayer, Battlefield 1 is the game FPS fans have been asking for. The single player campaign or, "War Stories", is so emotional from the open prologue mission to the very last story, that it kept me engaged and gave me goosebumps throughout each of the missions. With the cutscenes throughout the missions, it was like watching a movie, the motion capture was so realistic, it even had me fooled on knowing the difference between a video game and real life. Each character felt human and you could feel the raw emotion that they were expressing throughout the critical moments in the missions. The multiplayer as I said is addictive and hard to take your eyes off of, it is so amazing, the most satisfying part is the destruction which is amped up to max with improved detail. The new game mode, "Operations", is the showcase game mode in multiplayer where both sides fight to capture sectors of map until capture each control point, and of course all the original game mode are back in all their glory like, "Rush", and "Conquest", and now their is, "Team DM", "Domination", and a another new game mode, "War Pigeons". The arsenal of weapons at your disposal is big, really big, there is a lot to choose from, from the normal standard issue weapons that most known to in service in the war, to the exotic weapons that make every side evenly powered. This is a WWI game based on WWI, it is a historical game but it is more inspired by it than being a historically accurate game, but it is nonetheless a great tribute to all those who served in WWI. For someone like me who is a big Halo, and Call of Duty fan, I have suddenly became a huge fan of Battlefield 1 and the series, I really prefer this game over Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Like most people, we were hoping that Call of Duty would go back in time rather than going forward in time, but no one expected Battlefield to take the route, but they have amazed me more than Bad Company 2 amazed me when I first played it. To me Battlefield 1 is the best FPS game of 2016, and one the most memorable games I have ever played, and I will be playing it for years to come, but to sum this game up in one word, Unbelievable.… Expand

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For an in depth (and very long), honest review please read below. Spoilers ahead!

    When I first bought this game my first mission was to get online as fast as possible, and that is what I did. Upon getting online and into my first 'Operation', one of the new features added to this latest member of the Battlefield series I was in utter awe. The graphics, theme, weapons, the sound effects (oh those sound effects are to . . . die for) all draw you into a game made with passion. If you are on the attackers side of this grand version of capture the flag, the first time the whistle blows to 'go over the top' your heart will, as mine did, scream 'OH NEPTUNE!' For the defenders, in-place cannon and machine gun positions, barbed wire that injures and destructible cover adds to the beautiful WW1 theme.

    Bullets, mortars, tank shells and mustard gas will all be thrown your way from the 32 player team opposing you as you dip, dive, duck, dip and dodge your way closer to the flag, with occasional blast from your weapon to keep the defenders heads down. I throw my gas mask on to stop me from chocking to death and 'bayonet charge', another new feature, the first British 'Tommy' I see (with a satisfying kill animation) and begin to capture the flag.

    And this is where the inherent problems of the multiplayer FPS series start to creep in.

    Battlefield games have always been team games. In the loading menu for the old but gold 'Rush' mode, one of the hints it gives you is effectively along the line of 'don't be a lone-wolf'. Thus during my very short lived career as a German 'Stormtrooper' I found to my surprise, or rather not, that 2/3rds of my 32 player team were still sat at the back of the map as the sniper class, not moving forward and not helping the team. This is a recurring feature, though not one you can blame DICE or even EA for. Camping, lone-wolves, the 'I shot him 10 times and nothing and he got me once and I died' themes are all present in this game in abundance. Sadly, the game cannot break away from the limitations of the genre.

    However, speaking of DICE and EA some of the design choices for the game came as a major shock for me. Although the 'too many automatic weapons' critic rarely becomes an issue when online as the fast pace of play favours automatic weapons, the support class to name one issue, armed with LMGs, all seem to have a very low magazine size. This is a huge problem for a class who's number one job is to keep shooting, always! You'll find yourself reloading more than firing. Weapons feel very similar and progression is painfully slow (but I kind of like that).

    Another issue, as always, is the drip fed DLCs. Two of the major factions of the ww1 era are not in the game, France and Russia. And the fact that the Austro-Hungarian Empire are referred to as just Austria comes as an odd choice for a game that revels in its history, clearly the second half of the Empire is in a DLC.

    The campaign on the other hand is a treat. Split into six mini stories, all of which are dripping with emotion from a game that is trying, and succeeds, in taking itself very seriously. It is a shame that most of the maps from the campaigns didn't make it into the multiplayer experience, where 95% of your time will be spent. DLCs of course, see above.

    Overall . . .
    Pros:
    Generally very satisfying MP (if your team work together).
    Tone of the game is fitting and makes me genuinely feel sorry for killing the opposition.
    Music is awesome.
    Sound effects are awesome.
    Campaign short and sweet.
    WW1 theme works very well.

    Cons:
    Very similar to other FPSs in terms of annoyances.
    EA selling you half a game.
    Weapons feel very similar.

    8/10 Would recommend.    … Expand

It's just a shame it doesn't do too much new in terms of gameplay

    The campaign in the game focuses more on individual stories. The different chapters all follow different characters and put emphasis on different styles of gameplay. For example certain chapters focus on different kinds of vehicular warfare. This approach gives the single-player offerings a sort of episodic feel. The game also does a decent job of paying respects to the troops who gave their lives in WWI.

    The different perspectives shown in the campaign are excellent in terms of gameplay. About the time you might get tired of tank combat, another chapter opens up that will put you in control of a plane. Then there are the more standard ground combat levels. Where the campaign falls short is in terms of storytelling. While trying to pay respects to WWI soldiers, the game fails to engage players emotionally. It's rife with facts, but given how little we know the characters it's hard to care about them. We also spend so little time with them before it's on to the next set of faces. As a whole the campaign itself is over in a jiffy and there's little reason to replay it. But at the very least it's an entertaining, if brief fight through WWI. One that has more diverse scenarios.

    Yes, the multiplayer is without a doubt where the life and staying power of this game originate from. The use of the WWI setting allows from exciting new maps and fun new weapons to take center stage. The remarkably balanced vehicular combat and new modes ensure that hours of competitive fun can be found here.

    New modes like Operations and War Pigeons fit right in with the established favorites. Operations in particular is likely to become the biggest hit. A combination of Rush and Conquest, Operations is the closest one can get in Battlefield 1 to experiencing the chaos of all out war. Certainly exciting and action packed, but all the activity can lead to frustration. Getting pelted from seemingly all sides and whatnot.

    At the end of the day though this is still Battlefield. Same frustrations and highpoints. The WWI setting does do a lot to make things feel fresh again, but if you're already burnt out of the series or just never liked it in the first place, Battlefield 1 won't change your mind. The familiarity seeps through in every match. Reminding you that this is just the same Battlefield in a new skin.

    But my oh my what a pretty skin it is. WWI might not be able to reinvent the wheel, but it does a lot to add more tread. Longtime fans of the series are sure to get a kick out of the new perspective and those looking for an alternative to all the futuristic shooters out there should definitely give this one a look without a second thought. It's the best Battlefield has been in years. It's just hard to not see how similar it is to previous entries in terms of the core experience.

    Great graphics, great atmosphere, great sounds, and fluid mechanics and gameplay - that's exactly what one expects from an entry into the Battlefield series.

This game is to Battlefield 4 what that Vietnam expansion pack was to Bad Company 2. That is to say, it feels like a BF4 expansion. It's still a good game, to be sure - but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

    There are a few improvements, however. First off, airplanes are much, much easier to shoot down, so they're not as ridiculously OP as in previous iterations (BF2). They're also generally much weaker because it's, like, 1915. The anti-tank weapons wielded by infantry also feel much more powerful. I guess what I'm saying is that I always felt the vehicles were way OP in past versions of the game, but not so much in this one. On the other hand, you can repair your tank without even exiting the cabin, thereby keeping you out of harm's way...I guess the OP or not analysis on the tanks could go either way now that I think about it...

    Anyway, it's a decent game, but nothing we haven't seen before.    … Expand

    This games multiplayer is absolutely fantastic. Marred only by the high influx of new fps players and CoD transplants. Other than that, it runs great and the controls are tight and responsive. That being said the game still needs work in areas. The user interface is a little convoluted and the menus can be confusing if you don't take the time to figure them out. Simple functions like quitting right after a match don't work properly right now, but these minor issues do not affect the most important part of this games multiplayer, over all game play. Once again, these are minor complaints and will be improved upon over time and when that happens it will take my over all score for this game from a high 8 to a 10+ if it were possible.

    Anyone who's never played this series and is interested or on the fence take note: IMO
    This game has a high and intimidating learning curve. You do not simply pick up, play and do well. BF is not that kind of game. You spend the early part of your learning experience overwhelmed and dead. In fact, you die a lot starting out and it's frustrating as hell, but even the veteran players of the series have gone through it. So just know, it gets better and the learning curve is worth the frustration.    … Expand

    With the release of Battlefield 1, I loved the concept but really didn't know what to expect. Just with the fact it touching a subject we have not experienced yet, I welcomed the change. What we received is probably the one of the, best looking and most balanced shooter ever.
    The campaign is one of the most fluid campaigns I have played, split between different aspects of the war, each campaign tugs at your emotions and doesn't let go. Definitely one of the most emotional campaigns I have played that makes you appreciate what these men went through.

Developer Dice realized it needed to push shooters forward, and that meant taking a few steps back. Setting BF1 in World War 1 allowed DICE to strain all the fat from the now bloated Battlefield series. EA is obsessed with pushing out a “killer app” to counter COD’s success, and developer Dice was nearly another casualty of that fruitless obsession. Remember when EA pushed Crysis 3 as the killer app? But with COD in decline, why bother? Dice knows gamers are fatigued by the futuristic trash out today. With every game cloning each other, someone had to offer something different. So why not visit the past? And with BF1’s success, I’m sure COD will push out another world war title of its own soon enough.

    BF1 is far from perfect. But let’s start with the positives. Foremost, BF1 looks and sounds spectacular. It’s a tremendous step up from BF4, which I think is overrated in most regards. Not surprisingly, BF1 looks similar to its Battlefront cousin. Character models were lifted directly from Battlefront, so at times I feel like I’m on the Endor moon gunning down Stormtroopers. That said, animations are less cartoony than previous Battlefields. The environments are amazing. Not only do the maps look great, they play great too. They feel inspired by Battlefield 2 and 3. Those maps emphasized cover, choke points, and infantry combat. Although vehicles are important in BF1, their roles are now supportive. Tanks are a real pain to take down, but they’re slow and easy to out flank. Thank the gaming gods I don’t have to worry about 4-wheelers covered in C4 anymore.

    Gunplay is solid. Many WWI period weapons were heavy with low recoil. So semi auto and automatic rifles are pretty darn effective. Moderate damage is offset by superb accuracy and range. Sniper rifles are more effective as well because of increased bullet velocity. Now, even casual players can snipe without investing a 40+ hours to learn bullet drop etc. Some players are already complaining about the easiness of sniping. They’re crybabies. Unlike BF3 and 4, snipers are easy to hunt down. They can’t parachute on top of radio towers or skyscrapers. Because sniping is more effective, I see more players becoming scouts to take on other snipers. The only players complaining about sniping in BF1 are those who don’t understand map control.

    Weapon variety is sparse. This is only disappointing because so many weapons existed during WW1. However, weapon balance is a problem in every shooter and too many weapons create headaches. Class customization has been simplified for the same reasons. As a result, class roles are straightforward. Too bad players don’t understand that.

    Most importantly, BF1 performs surprisingly well (comparatively). Hit detection is excellent due to increased server tickrates and better optimization. Dice dumped the clunky battlelog menu for something more streamlined and user friendly.

    So what’s wrong with it? BF1 is incomplete. Certain game modes-like hardcore-are missing with no indication when they’ll be up and running. Viewing stats is aggravatingly slow. Postgame states aren’t saved locally, so they have to be loaded each time viewed. I’m forced to wait 5-10 seconds just to review squad performance after a round, then another 5-10 to review my individual scores. The chat screen is buggy as heck.

    Matches randomly freeze for 1-2 seconds. It’s a multiplatform issue affecting a large number of players. I gave up playing the Operations mode because servers are unreliable. Squad chat breaks between games. So players rely on Xbox chat which means virtually no one chats ingame.

    Spawns aren’t much better than Battlefront. So except to be spawn killed 20% of the time. Part of the problem is BF1’s boots on the ground focus. Players are everywhere, so it’s hard to spawn away from the action. The biggest problem is Dice hasn’t figured out how to calculate a safe zone. I can’t spawn on a squad mate who is taking fire from a sniper 50 yards away, but I can spawn on him if an enemy is 8ft away looking right at him. Then we both get shot. Other times I spawn on a squad mate taking damage and finish off the guy shooting him. I don’t understand why this problem keeps rearing its head.

    The campaign is brief. Dice could’ve painted a gritty perspective into the spectacles and horrors of WWI. I can’t help but feel Dice spotlighted the Harlem Hellfighters for PR points. That’s a shame. There is such a rich history here, but the choppy campaign doesn’t do it justice. It lacks emotional context. Do yourself a favor and research the Hellfighters.

    I wanted to give BF1 an 8/10, but its incomplete. Missing game modes, server disconnects, broken chat, and wedged-in campaign hold it back. The fledgling Titanfall series runs perfectly out of the gate, so what’s Dice’s excuse? Still, BF1 at launch is superior to BF4’s current state. It really is Dice’s best work since the Battlefield 2 series.    … Expand

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

I cannot count how many times I've emptied an entire clip into someone and they didn't die. My very first death on the game came from this one dude I was about to shoot in the back with my sniper rifle (on Scout) and I was about 20 feet behind him. I got a good shot on him and hit him clean in the back (with a sniper from 20 feet away) and he proceeded to just sprint around a corner and then killed me after. To which my friend, who was watching, chuckled incredulously, and said "They weren't wearing body armour in World War One". You cant run-and-gun in this game either, as you can in COD, because there are always enemies lying in the most inconspicuous spots, perfectly camouflaged, ambushing everyone, and also because people seem to have unlocked weapons that just drop you instantly. More often than not, I see an enemy, unload my clip into them, and as I'm shooting them they just decide to instant-melt me with their beast gun. Generally, the best way to play Battlefield 1 and maintain a reasonable KD is with a sniper, observing from far away and then changing location after you've killed a few people, which for me, is boring.… Expand

    I regret spending the $60 on BF1, and BF2 is probably my all time favorite game. Don't know why developers keep making these games worse. CoD went downhill with advanced warfare. I feel like it's time for me to get into game development, as these companies obviously can't do it.

I love how you can choose between getting out of a Hugh Mech or just run and gun on your own two feet. I am really happy with this game. However I canceled my Infinite Warfare preorder for this game due to infinate Warfare is not the real Call of Duty so thinks Infinity Ward you made my day by putting my money on this wonderful game called TitanFall 2. Besides Battlefield 1 and NBA 2k Titanfall 2 completes my year of games. To bad Call of Duty will not make that list due to bad graphics and to much to list. Good luck if you miss out on t his game over Call of Duty because you will be sorry you didn't pick this game up. One last note the single player is fun too. It's about 5 hours long and I enjoyed it now I am online and it's packed with great players. This is a game we the gamers have been waiting for. I have been a gamer for 20 years plus it's sucks to see Call of Duty fall from grace. Oh well there is always next year. I give this game a 10/10 go get your copy now.… Expand

EA and Dice could not have picked a more perfect time to release this epic World War 1 shooter! This has been a generation of future first-person shooter games with thruster packs andBattlefield 1 is one of the most anticipated games of the year and it did not disappoint! I haven't had this much fun with a battlefield game since Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and everyone is saying this! EA and Dice could not have picked a more perfect time to release this epic World War 1 shooter! This has been a generation of future first-person shooter games with thruster packs and laser weapons, and we have said again and again that we are sick of it! I never, in a million years, expected EA to answer the cries of the gaming community, but they did!

    First, I'd like to talk about the campaign. It is a breath of fresh air for the Battlefield franchise. The past 3 battlefield games have all had terrible campaigns, so much so that they made Call of Duty's futuristic campaigns look good! This is the first campaign I've actually liked since Bad Company 2. What is unique about this campaign, however, is rather than having a string of missions for the player, it has multiple strings of missions called War Stories. In each war story, the player takes on the role of a diverse set of soldiers from different walks of life, serving different countries, all with different personalities, and different goals. It almost feels episodic playing through each story, which makes it more immersive for the player. The graphics look almost real, and the sets and props only help make the game more immersive. I loved the variety of each mission: you play as a tank unit, a pilot, an infantry man, juggernaut, and the levels can range from rush and assault to stealth. The biggest problem with the campaign however is the fact that the war stories are way too short to leave a lasting emotional impression on the player! The average number of missions per story is 3 or 4! It gives you a great story than rips it away from you as soon as you really start getting into it, similar to how Halo 3: ODST's campaign felt! The upside however, unlike Halo 3: ODST, is that there is enough multiplayer content to keep you invested in the game while justifying the $60 you spent on the game. I'd give the campaign a solid 7/10. It's good! Although it could have been a Masterpiece if they had included more into each war story, and even include another war story or two.

    The multiplayer, as expected, is exceptional! Although much of the content seems to be absent at launch, the modes they included are enough to keep players invested till the release of future modes, like Hardcore (which is "coming soon") The weapons are mostly good, but there is a vast lack of variety in the weapons you get! For each class, you pretty much get like 4 or 5 guns with different iterations of them, which fools you into thinking there's at least 12 or 13. The customization is definitely lacking! If you googled a list of weapons used during World War 1, there is a staggering number of weapons that Dice decided not to include into the game, which is b******t in my opinion! The game modes are all very fun! Conquest is back and better than ever! Team Deathmatch and Rush are there for players who want a more chaotic experience! I've enjoyed my play time in Domination, especially. And while I enjoy War Pigeons a lot, it feels more like a camping simulator than anything else. My team took a pigeon one time, set a ton of charges all around a building and just waited inside until we were ready to release our pigeon. We won in nearly 4 minutes. Regardless the multiplayer modes are all a blast to play. The best new feature of the multiplayer is a new mode called Operations! Where you literally take part in key battles, where you play as a member of an army trying to push the enemy lines back or defend them from falling into enemy hands. Once captured, another huge area of the map opens up, and you have to defend/capture that area next, and then again, and then again! These matches can last 2 hours long, maybe more! This is an incredible addition, and one I hope is included in future Battlefield games. I do wish, however, that more operations were included at launch. We only got 4 at launch. That said, there ares something technical issues with the game that have affected every single mode in Battlefield, especially my multiplayer experience. When going to the menu, you often freeze up and get killed before you can close it. It's especially frustrating when my game crashes and I have to restart the game all over again. Loading a game can take up to three minutes for me, although my friends haven't experienced this issue as much as I have. Hopefully, we get a patch soon that fixes these issues. Multiplayer is a 9/10! It's Great

    While Battlefield has its issues, it is a great game; arguably one of the best of 2016! It's a huge step up from Battlefield Hardline. However, it could have been a masterpiece. There is a lot holding it back from getting a 10/10, and it's painful to know that just a little more effort from DICE would have made this game that much more polished!    … Expand

The graphics on Xbox are among the best available, and the sound is perhaps the best in any game I have ever played. There's just something deeply satisfying about the chatter of machinegun fire, the deep booms of field artillery, and the roar of a biplane flying overhead. It's all lovingly crafted. The campaign, though short and choppy, is quite good. It provides a series of vignettes of different aspects of the war. Multiplayer is varied and chaotic, but in a good way.

    CONS: Now, that is not to say that the game is perfect. The campaign is very short; most players will complete all six vignettes in under 10 hours easily. Even the multiplayer doesn't have nearly the amount of maps that would make it truly exemplary. Some simple game mechanics, such as upgrading and unlocking equipment for your multiplayer character, or just what the components of a single-player challenge are, are left totally to the player's devices. They are never explained in any meaningful way. On the whole, it appears that DICE emphasized quality over quantity when designing this game, and that's not inherently bad, but the lack of content does become apparent after 10-20 hours of playtime.

    The biggest flaw in the game, I believe, comes in design. There are just some very bizarre choices in many places, which don't necessarily detract from the experience, but are still head-scratching nonetheless. Namely:

    - The game goes to great lengths to portray the Great War as a World War, but they forego most of the truly global aspects of the war. All of the campaign episodes and MP maps are located in Europe and the Mediterranean region.

    - The war began in August 1914. You wouldn't know this from the campaign or MP scenarios. The earliest campaign available chronologically is the Gallipoli mission, set in spring 1915. Four of the six campaign missions and more than half of the Operations in MP are set in 1918. There were a number of scenarios that could have been set in the early war period from 1914-1916, but they aren't there.

    - Did you know that France and Russia fought in World War I? You wouldn't by playing this game. This is just ridiculous, especially when you consider that France and Russia lost between 3 and 5 million men killed between them! There were numerous scenarios available to the developers to highlight French and Russian contributions to the war. The French are begging for a Verdun scenario, and Russians could have been shown in a Brusilov Offensive campaign mission. But instead, they might as well be invisible. In contrast, the United States is highlighted in fully one-third of the campaign missions, and the U.S. lost 100,000 men killed in the war.

    This laughable omission will be rectified in DLC, I would hope, but to pay additional $ for the inclusion of nations so central to the war is kind of a slap in the face.

    For those reasons, it gets an 8/10 from me. Shooter fans will enjoy it, while history fans will be conflicted.    … Expand

Ultimately, any variation of the game set in a historic setting far away from contemporary warfare feels a little bit off and slightly affects the level of immersion. Whilst I still think that Bf1 is an amazing game and possibly a contender in its genre for game of the year, I don't think it's as good as its previous instalments.

    Gameplay wise, like all Battlefields it’s a good compromise between the overly realistic ARMA and the faster paced COD. Graphically, its stunning. Multiplayer is still buggy & Online customisation could be improved. In hindsight, I'd still buy the game again as current triple A title alternatives have not impressed at all. However, I’m doubtful whether the game will have the same lasting appeal as its previous instalment and this could be a major drawback for most fans. I think '7' is an honest rating for this game as it is above average yet missing the allure that made bf3/4 so immersive and enticing.    … Expand

    A couple minor gripes.
    1. I miss c4, would be nice to have sticky dynamite.
    2. Using the AT rocket in prone takes some getting use to.
    3. It can be quite challenging taking out a heavy tank if your team is full of ID ten tangos.

    Easily worth 60 dollars.

    the story of all the war stories was excellent
    some off the characters where actual war hero's in ww1
    your ai buddy's can actually kill enemy's for once finally
    the only bad things was one crash on war story no 5 when I killed 2 flame frower guys at once
    and 1 time I got stuck on a tank in war story no 1 and had to restart from checkpoint and only lost like 15 seconds of progress
    and the fact that all five war stories are only 4 5 to 6 hours long:(
    multiplayer
    overall it is a fantastic experience
    the attack planes are way better in bf 1 than the jets in bf 3 and bf4 since they are way easier to learn and a lot more fun for people who couldn't even drive the jets in bf 3 and bf4 and lets face it that was most of the fans
    the blimp armored train and the battle ship do make the matches a lot more interesting since their only given to the losing team however because off this I don't think their will be an e sports for this game thought but its a positive still for 99% of the fans
    the tanks are now at least a 2 man job to destroy one unless its the light tank which I think was a good change
    the land ship and heavy tank take team work to be a menace to deal with on the battlefield and the artillery truck being a menace to deal with at long range and the light tank being a fun tank to use if your playing by yourself I personally find the artillery truck is the best one on most maps
    the gun play is fantastic the kill times are slower in this game then in previous titles which dose make sense because of the slower rate of fire of the weapons In ww1 you will find you will win more gun fights in bf1 based on skill and having the numbers in a gun fight then just having a better rate of fire weapon then the other guy your trying to kill which is a good change of pace

It's a welcome departure from the trend of modern high-tech, cartoony, or sci fi shooters that have dominated the FPS over the last few years. Developer DICE took a chance on going against the grain, delivering a much needed breath of fresh air to the franchise and genre itself. It's no surprise to me the game is a blast to play, with its gritty realism, cooperative play, and classy presentation.

    Matches are based around large scale maps that encourage team play and creativity, with a wealth of weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and stationary emplacements that allow your team to tackle objectives with tons of options at your disposal. Being a team based game, your experience will largely hinge on how well your squad, consisting of five members, are able to communicate (via mic or through in game objective orders). A team that stays focused and works together can be formidable and change the tide, but there are still plenty of options for lone wolfs who want to snipe, pilot a single seat aircraft or tank, etc.

    In terms of graphics and sound, the game has no rival currently, especially when considering the huge scale of the environments that accommodate up to 64 players. The maps are stunning, diverse, and dynamic, with weather conditions changing throughout each map. No two battles on the same map ever play identically, and you are sure to walk away from each match with lots of "that was amazing" kind of moments. I hope BF1 inspires other devs to take risks in providing new experiences for players, even if it means going back in time. With games like COD losing its identity trying to be all things to all people, its nice seeing a focused game with its own identity and emphasis on skill and team work show the industry how it's done and what mature players really want. I can't stop playing and thinking about BF1, so this is a perfect score for me. It's that good.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Synopsis of Full Review]

    The most annoying and glaring flaw to me about the singleplayer is that, unlike the crowded multiplayer matches that are full of mayhem, the singleplayer is a little dull and empty even in its most challenging and grueling moments. For example, if you stealthily enter a desert village with roaming Nazi forces hunting you, there’s a grand total of maybe ten enemies in one large map (before they call for reinforcements) and virtually none of them will ever be inside of the sprawling buildings which, oh by the way, are all open to entry. So on one hand I like the ability to enter every fully detailed and realized environment, however on the other I wish the story felt as lifelike as the multiplayer does.

    Concept: Enter the Great War and the world of total warfare within the confines of World War I including Battlefield’s classic destructibility and over the top arsenal.

    Graphics: There are moments when it falters, however the lighting, environments, and weather effects are some of the best in gaming and certainly the best I’ve yet to see in any shooter save for possibly Uncharted 4.

    Sound: The soundtrack is a perfect mix of battlefield sounds, the cries of your wounded compatriots and enemies alike, whistling of mortar shells overhead, hiss of mustard gas, and orchestral takes on the classic Battlefield themes.

    Playability: The controls are much the same as they’re likely to ever be and that’s not a bad thing considering they are very intuitive and react accordingly.

    Entertainment: I’ll admit, I thought it might slow things down a bit to be behind the wheel of a dusty old war machine, however this iron giant moves at virtually the same pace as any modern shooter and is doubly entertaining it seems.

    Replay Value: Very High.

    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...

    This game is incredibly well done. The graphics have impressed me, the campaign is headed in the right direction, and multiplayer remains its high standard. Looking first at the campaign, I have not finished it yet however from what I a have seen and played I enjoy it. The gameplay is fun, not fairly repetitive and interesting. I would say though that the individual few mission stories make it difficult to get into each story and become attached to any of the somewhat forgettable characters.

    Looking next at the Multiplayer I give top marks. The new operations mode is incredible and allows you to really enjoy 32 v 32 combat with a true world war one feel. It truly blew me away how well they captured the grit of world war one as described by my history textbooks. Trench combat feels intense and fun, planes feel hectic, Tanks feel less overpowered than they were in the first World War. Some maps seriously limit vehicles as well which is quite fun. If you are looking for Battlefield 4 this game is not that, it captures World War one accurately and Battlefield 4 captures modern combat well, and it should be obvious those two are extremely different. On some negatives, horse combat feels a bit clunky and the lack of a first person horse mode disappointed me. Also, I feel for first person shooters as a whole need more modes and maps. Those are small things and this multiplayer is very fun.

    My final thoughts are this game is worth its money and I would recommend it to any of my FPS fan friends. In my mind Battlefield still has the best console FPS multiplayer on the market, the campaign is improving but still has some work to do. Personally, I think the console line up is fairly weak this year which makes this a candidate for my game of the year title.

I hope DICE can give GROUND TROOPS A LITTLE MORE POWER THAN WAS THE CASE IN BF4 & BATTLEFRONT as people CAMPING IN VEHICLES & GOING 60 & 2 scores without completing objectives is about as FRUSTRATING AS GAMING CAN GET & SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. BATTLEFIELD 1 is an AMAZING JOURNEY into HISTORY & is as ENTHRALLING & REALISTIC AS A SHOOTER CAN GET. IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE A GAMER. HELLO SEASON PASS, :)))… Expand

    I don't know that words can describe how much I've been enjoying this game. The graphics are awesome, the game play is great, and at times I find myself in awe at how how epic it is. It needs a few little tweeks here and there, but nothing game breaking, nothing that even hurts the experience and knowing Dice they'll have that stuff worked out pretty quickly. This game is a must have.

    I wish I could title this review, but I would have quite the conundrum, because I can't choose between the 2 I have. "An Exercise is Frustration" or "Why not WWII?" are my choices, and I wish I majored in English so I could find a way to creatively combine the two.

"An Exercise is Frustration" or "Why not WWII?" are my choices, and I wish I majored in English so I could find a way to creatively combine the two. Let me begin by saying BF1 is not a bad game. 6/10 is a perfectly fair rating, and, by my metics, qualifies the games as "average." The problem with the game is that it's objectively worse that Battlefield 3 and 4 in just about every measurable way. The few areas in which the game surpasses its predecessors are the campaign (barely, holy hell just barely), graphics and sound, and class design. The campaign is a complete joke, clocking in about about 5 hours of boring, repetitive, ridiculous shooting gallery after shooting gallery. They had an opportunity to make a creative, memorable experience using the "War to end all wars," but instead wasted the setting completely. This waste of an opportunity carries into multiplayer. There is literally no reason for this game taking place in WWI other than for marketing. The game never takes advantage of the time period. It makes the game worse at every level. The guns are worse, the vehicles are worse, the gadgets are worse. Everything is worse because of the setting. The lack of weapon variety is offensive. 3 submachine guns. THREE. Every one of the medic's DMRs feel exactly the same, varying only in accuracy and magazine count. The class design is much improved, however, as the game sets the role for each class. Unlike in BF4, not every class can fill every role, and while I personally don't like that, it is an improvement when it comes to game design. The maps are great for conquest and the new operations game mode, but are absolutely horrible for infantry-centered game modes like TDM and Domination.
    In the end, if you're a battlefield fan, buy it. You'll enjoy it. But if you don't own any Battlefield game, then buy BF4 first. It's a MUCH better game. If Dice had simply set the game 35 years in the future, most of my complaints would not be an issue. WWI is too limited a setting when Dice doesn't use it to its full potential. Remember earlier when I was contemplating possible titles for this review? I just thought of a better one: "A Satisfactory Disappointment: How Dice Managed to Waste One of the Most Interesting Historical Time Periods."    … Expand

    Tasteful, emotive and gripping. Single-player or multiplayer it is hard to find a single flaw. As an FPS it feels satisfying, competitive and full of enough new twists to bring new life to a previously tepid genre of game. The campaign plays, looks and sounds like a Spielberg movie. This is a game to love and cherish for years to come! Well done DICE and EA!

The campaign is a big step forward for the franchise, the first good one since the bad company games, and has even more emotional moments than that series. Though the BF1 campaign was a bit short, and leaves a little more to be desired in terms of length and depth. The multiplayer feels more "Battlefield" than ever. The hectic firefights near objectives is more common than ever, sometimes a bit too common. Many of the maps are very well made and have litany of interesting areas, good cover, and tons of destructibility. The new modes are also a welcome change, though most of the player base will probably stick with conquest. By far the worst map is Sinai desert, which left me worried after the beta, but not to worry, as most of the maps play wonderfully and the game is pretty well balanced. Though the multiplayer feels good, it does feel a little too familiar, I would've liked to see a little more variation in game modes or level progression. Most of the performance issues, bugs, and balance issues from the beta have also been worked out. The game runs very well on both consoles as well as recommended PC hardware, and looks damn well to boot, 9' of the best looking games ever made. Some of the bugs and performance issues remain, though, and only time will tell how long it will take for patches and foxes to come out. Despite slight issues, this launch is proving to be much smoother and polished than the notoriously rocky Battlefield 3 and 4 launches. Through 30 hours of play I have experienced a handful of minor bugs and only one full crash. The only things that prevent this game from being 10/10 is some performance issues, multiplayer that feels a bit familiar, a good campaign that had the potential to be amazing, and the aggressive dlc plans that will eventually fragment the player base into those who buy dlc and those who don't. Overall, an amazing job Dice and I look forward to playing BF1 for months and maybe even years to come.… Expand

    When some game companies are pushing to the future, DICE and EA take it back to WWI - an era heavily under-explored in gaming.

The multiplayer and game mechanics are as tight as ever, though the fewer technologies really force you into soldier combat a lot more. The horses are well put together - powerful but vulnerable. Perhaps that's the best way to describe this game - there are moments where you have a lot of power and can be tough to kill, but your dominance can quickly be overthrown in the face of any worthy foe. I'll admit I've only handled the early parts of BF1's campaign, but the early going is significantly better than any Battlefield campaign I've played so far. That doesn't mean it'll be the best you'll find in a shooter this year. If you like Battlefield, there's nothing to keep you from liking BF1. It looks better than any BF entry before it and maintains good player balancing in a gated sandbox setting. At the same time, if there's any shooter that needs more powerful hardware it would be the Battlefield series. PC gamers will get the best experience visually - I would love to see this game on Scorpio.… Expand

Finally we get a chance to go back to some older wars, and WW1 was a great surprise. But this isn't what makes this an amazing game. It's the crazy attention to detail, the amazing weather effects, the ability to give health packs to friends just by spotting them, the horrific yet satisfying feel of war, and more. It almost seems like DICE finally perfected their series. The campaign is the best I've played from a bf game. If you like BF games and haven't had a chance to try this one, I really implore you try this one.

    I won't lie, I enjoyed Hardline, BF4, BF3, Bad Company 1 and 2, and the original games including 1942 and some of the later titles (battleifled 2, Vietnam, and 2142). But this one completely obliterates the previous ones.... well maybe not bf 1942, it was amazing for its time. If i was to compare it to a previous battlefield game, i'd have to say It's as fun as playing bad company for the first time. It was the one console version that I really enjoyed. I found battlefield 3 and 4 fun, but it just wasn't on the same level as bad company. But this game... just stop reading what I'm saying and give it a try. Whether it's the campaign or the multiplayer, it's extremely amazing. As a huge BF fan this is by far one of my favorites!! I highly recommend it and give it a 10 out of 10.    … Expand

There are many great assets like mortars, rifle granades or bomb traps.
    Negatives are long loading time, rare problem with matchmaking and also fact, that all nations have the same weapons and vehicles.

    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.
