    Battlefield 1 is one of EA’s and DICE’s best games if not the best game that they have ever made. It’s an amazing mix of graphics and addictiveness for the players, a range of many different things in the game give it a long lasting effect making you want to try out everything inside the game.

    There are many things in Battlefield 1 that give the players a huge amount of options on how, who and what they want to play with or what they want to play full stop. The game modes available are: conquest, rush, war pigeons, team death match, domination, operations and campaign of course. Conquest is a large team battle over huge maps of which vary widely with the terrains. In this game the teams will fight to gain control of the flags whilst killing each other and gaining points from killing the other team and then depending on how many flags your team has your score will slowly go up or quickly go up due to the ownership of the flags. The campaign of the game is an excellent re-enactment of the great war, yes it is a little over exaggerated with all of the shooting and drama but people who play first person shooters don’t normally want to be jut educated, they want to be thrilled with what they’re playing and maybe have a little bit of learning on the way. Battlefield 1 gives the perfect mix between shooting and the experience itself, as soon as you start the story of the game you’ll want to go into the next stories and I’m very sure of that, they are exhilarating and very dramatic making you infused into the game making your own decisions over the large map of which you play in.
    The content of the multiplayer is absolutely amazing, there are tons of different weapons to unlock and tons of weapons to play around with and loads of different pieces of gear to create your very own class from, you can switch to planes and to tanks and to trains and boats and even a zeppelin, there are mounted turrets in places on the maps leaving hidden but powerful siege areas, the teams are well balanced and the mix of different classes between the huge teams makes the game even harder but at the same time so much better as it’s not too challenging but it’s definitely not too easy.
    The price of the game is now around 30-25 pounds which isn’t bad at all, its starting price was around 55-60 which for the game itself and new was still a very reasonable price. It has a range of everything and it is all built to perfection and that’s one of the only problems with the game, on Xbox 1 it runs great with a good or great Wi-Fi but if yours isn’t great or good then its likely to lag or glitch a little when in game, when on PC there’s a large problem if you don’t have a very good PC because the game has pretty much no chance of running… at all. I suggest that if you would like this game you either need an Xbox 1 or a very good PC.
    The graphics of the game are insanely good and the huge maps look stunning with all of the visual effects, the sounds are amazing and set with obvious perfection into all of the correct guns and gear and the correct places, it could be real if it wasn’t inside a screen, the game itself is visually stunning and that’s an understatement!
    In conclusion I would highly recommend that you get this game if you like first person shooters because it’s a whole new experience for any player!    … Expand

    Not the true War but still very fun. Maybe some regrets for customization. But still better than Call Of Duty for me. Big maps, Nice graphics. A very good game. But the story mode sux.

    This is one of the most enjoyable shooters I have ever played, the quantity of guns is only a sign of how much work is behind, everyone feels different. My only issue is DICE idea of making DLCs, don't take me wrong they are great expansions but it's just a bad decision. Although it's a great game.

    - Fantastic reborn from this series, I don't see any problem with this one except a short single-player story and of course typical EA games glitches :)

My score is mainly for the multiplayer, which is fantastic. The campaign -- though it is surprisingly good considering that it is Battlefield we're talking about -- is not the main point of the game. The main point is that the multiplayer, Battlefields "badge of honour", is a remarkably fun and competitive experience set over countless beautiful and exciting maps which take place in different theatres of "the great war". I'm not a big fan of multiplayer generally, but Battlefield 1 was an exception for me. When it comes to competitive FPS titles, I'm just left with one question regarding this game: what more can you ask for?… Expand

    A truly immersive and cinematic multiplayer gaming experience. Battlefield´s all out, large scale war really brings out all the potential of multiplayer gaming. Even for a gamer like myself who generally prefers single player games over multiplayer ones. I still found myself hooked to this game for a long time. Battlefield 1´s amazing DLC maps certainly extended the games longevity.

    I guess it makes the most sense for me to finally review this now, especially given that "Battlefield V" was just announced. I'll be the first to admit that I hadn't played a "Battlefield" game prior to this one. Sure, some of them looked cool, but for the most part, I never had a huge amount of interest in the series.

Recently, however, after hearing way too many positive things about "Battlefield 1," morbid curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to give it a shot. As it turned out, I ended up really enjoying myself!
    Taking things to World War 1 was a welcome reprieve from all the "futuristic" shooters in 2016, and fortunately, "Battlefield 1" sticks the landing! It's a surprisingly cinematic shooter: the game's single-player "War Stories" campaign will have you doing a good amount of watching alongside your playing, but admittedly, I did find the game's characters to be rather compelling and interesting, and the stories to be rather emotional. The fast-paced gunplay is also amazing, the visuals are top-notch, and I find the return to World War 1 compelling in the aspect that it takes things back a technological notch: no longer are you spoiled with the greatest weapons of all time with crazy attachments, instead you have to work within the constraints of what was available at the time. It's an interesting idea that's executed very well, and it adds a layer of realism to the game.
    It's not quite a "perfect" game for me: I wish that the single-player campaign (or "War Stories," if you will) was just a little bit longer (especially in regards to gameplay, since I mentioned that you do quite a bit of watching), and I do think some of the vehicle sections feel a little bit uninspired, but otherwise, "Battlefield 1" is a successful World War 1 shooters, and it gets me pretty excited to see what EA will offer when "Battlefield V" releases later this year.

    Battlefield 1 is a beautiful game graphically which is nicely juxtaposed by the chaos that ensues around your character as you play multiplayer and even the campaign. It's crazy to think the craters around you from artillery, the debris from buildings crashing down, and much more are from other human players and not just the game trying to make it seem chaotic. The game play itself is wellBattlefield 1 is a beautiful game graphically which is nicely juxtaposed by the chaos that ensues around your character as you play multiplayer and even the campaign. It's crazy to think the craters around you from artillery, the debris from buildings crashing down, and much more are from other human players and not just the game trying to make it seem chaotic. The game play itself is well balanced with each class having a specific role to play in the battle to come. This allows the player to find the class that best suits their playstyle to not only enjoy the game more, but to also help their team and the objectives they are trying to capture or defend. Additionally, several weapons in the game must be unlocked by leveling up or using specific weapons. Some may find this annoying or tedious; however, the satisfaction of unlocking a new weapon after performing certain tasks related to the class you're playing as is more than worth it. Compared to Call of Duty this is actually better suited for you as a gamer as in Call of Duty you may unlock a gun from leveling up that you don't really want to use or could care less about. In Battlefield 1 though, the requirements to unlock a specific weapon or variant are laid out clearly and you can focus on the gun(s) you want to unlock rather than ones you don't really want. While on the comparison between the two games, you can actually unlock several weapons before leveling up rather than just one per level giving the progression of multiplayer in Battlefield 1 a quicker sense of pace. The vehicles are fun to use whether or not your the pilot/tanker or just a passenger and in the confines of WWI seem truly powerful in the right hands. At the same time, it's a fun game of cat and mouse trying to destroy these awesome machines which adds not just fun, but satisfaction when you finally pull off the killing blow.

    In some of the game modes, the losing team will get a Behemoth or other advantage to help turn the game in their favor. Occasionally, this works for the team, but more often than not it is too late for it to be of any real help. It is a nice event that occurs though as it gives players who may be pessimistic about the game a ray of hope that reinvigorates them.

    The campaign is very fun and the stories it tells are captivating. Each one has specific challenges to complete as well which adds another layer to these stories and increases replayability. The one downside to the campaign are the few levels where you play essentially a stealth game, which seems out of place in an FPS focused around so much mass destruction and chaos. These levels normally slow down the stories you're playing through taking away the excitement and replacing it with stress as you attempt to maneuver around enemies and take them out without being seen or else you'll have to survive a gunfight where the numbers are not in your favor.

    In the game, you can unlock codex entries from either completing challenges in the campaign or by completing certain objectives which again (and I know I've said this many times) is satisfying upon getting them unlocked. These codex entries allow the player to learn more about WW1 and are quite interesting to read. I wish more games would do a similar thing.

    The reason this game gets a 9 out of 10, and not a perfect 10 are for two reasons though. One I've already addressed, although is not as big of a deal, and that would be the stealth missions in some of the campaign levels. The second has to do with multiplayer and I was saving this for the end:
    the balancing of multiplayer games is downright pitiful. Most games I've played with the exception of some Operations game modes, are one time steamrolling over the other.    … Expand

    I've had this game for a while and I loved the single player campaign, I went online after having the game for months just sitting there.

Now I know why I haven't played that mode much...its extremely frustrating! if you are not into sniping don't play this game! you will not get as many kills as these vets on here, and I don't care how long you try and play to get better you will continue to feel frustrated....
    for 1.. I do love the map sizes and everything but they made it so you cant see an enemy standing right in front of you; basically bcus the enemy matches the landscape and everybody and their mother wants to snipe...me being an avid COD player I'm kinda use to run and gun w/ a lil sniping from time 2 time .. this game forces you to duck and hide especially if your a noob

    2.. being that everyone is sniping from FARRRRR distances youre going to die countless times from ppl that you never seen, thats not really fun, and then sometimes it feels like I'm shooting and shooting and shooting getting hits only for the person be able to turn right around and kill me with one or two shots! VERY FRUSTRATING!

    One time i was tracking this guy with my COD skills got him in a corner, ran up on him and knifed him BUT bcus he was ducking in the corner I missed him and he shot me and I died! smh I found that disgustingly bad! I don't care how much of a noob I am, THAT WAS A KILL! I mean I do play fps games

    Its just too many times where I felt over matched or as if I couldn't hit the side of a barnyard with any gun I had for the match.. Run right up on a dude thats not looking I still have to stop and aim bcus I cant get a clear shot, and in those valuable seconds doing that I usually get sniped by someone that seen me from wayyyyyyyyy across the map... I'm trying to like this game but multiplayer is making it hard 2 enjoy some kills, its forcing me to go back and play COD (AW) while I love the realism of this game, and thats what keeps me coming back... I hate jetpacks and stuff so thats what drew me back to this game after playing the campaign, but I think I'm ready to go back to my jetpacks now    … 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

    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.
