    This is the most "Immersive" game I've ever played bar none. They absolutely nailed it! You literally feel like your fighting for your life in a trench, or trying to keep your tank alive....or your plane in the air! The noises and sound effects are insane. The visuals are stunning too!

    Simply put......we are not worthy! Sooo much FUN!!!

    The story missions are super enjoyable and super different to one another and I didn't even notice 3 or 4 hours just pass without me even moving!
    The multiplayer is a fantastic refresh to the tradition BF we grew to love, going back to their roots, amazing and beyond enjoyable game play!
    I have gone over my 10 hours and counting down the minutes till I have the cover in my hands !!

    Never before has a vintage style wargame of this scale been brought to the masses with such high production values and beautiful, raw immersion.

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.

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

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.

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.

    The ambiance of the game is gorgeous, the combat feels right, and there's just something about using a trench weapon to bludgeon a pre-Nazi to death.

    You don't simply play through the eyes of one character, but through many. One can even say this is true with multiplayer as you take on different rules, and participate in various war campaigns.

    This is quite literally the ONLY WW1 game I've ever bought, as the rest just didn't quite look right.

When you go prone in the mud, then that gets on your gun also. The sounds seem very authentic for how you would genuinely expect each weapon to sound and the controls are tight and responsive.

It made up for it in Battlefield: Hardline, in my eyes a vastly underrated release.
    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.
    The multiplayer is just as good, great maps with great weapons and modes

    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.

    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.
