@@CJ-jl6hfBad Company 2 was my introduction still to this day my favorite battlefield. They honestly should remake it.

Bf1 has the best Immersive atmosphere of any game I have ever played, I forget that I’m playing a game sometimes. Beautiful graphics and detail, and crisp sound design. The melee kill animations are so visceral and horrifying, they made like 8 different animations depending on the side you are on when you kill the enemy for each of the 3 types of melee weapons.
@@Gin-San101 I have played rdr2 many times. I’m almost just as immersed playing it. I do find myself more immersed playing bf1 though, not saying rdr2 can’t be more immersive but the first person perspective hits slight harder to me than third person. I would play rdr2 in first person if it wasn’t so clunky.
All they had to do was build off this success and bring that authentic gritty experience into WWII and they screwed it up. I'm still upset about that. Also as far as BF1 capturing the horror of war, I think they did great especially in the introduction, but I still gotta give that title to World at War.

I recently downloaded and played BF1 for the first time. I was immediately struck by how real the multiplayer felt. It genuinely felt like a was watching a battle unfold in front of me. It didn't feel like people being goofy in a battlefield game, it visually LOOKED like war.
It's even worse or intense with proper beefy headphones. On certain map the amount of barrages of artillery, shrapnel sounds and overall explosions gives you literal shell shock for a short duration. It's that intense.
Man, I've been playing this game since 2017 almost on a daily bases. It got me into researching The Great War and no other game has done something similar. There will never be another game like Battlefield 1.
Same for me, I even went visit verdun and fort du voux and I'm telling you, Isn't pretty. I think is Because of all the dead, grief and mourning vibe. But I felt like it wasn't my first time... I've died a few tausend times on those battlefields
the behemoth and the pickable classes are the thing that i really like in this game. The moment when the ship behemoth plays its sound is something else
Probably the best battlefield game. The atmoshpere is just insane, playing breakthrough and pushing to the next objective while hearing the war screams and the whistles gives me chills to this date.
Something minor but really cool about bf1 is "Premium friends". If one person in a party has some of the DLC, then every in a group has access to then everyone in that party has access to those dlc. Really a clever feature. Also I really like the turning tides DLC in particular. The Hegiolyth blights map is my favorite because of how massive it is.
BF1 is one of my favourite Multiplayer games, not a massive huge fps online shooter guy. BF1 drew me in with its excellent sound design, will never get over the motivation at the start of a game with soldiers running and screaming. Mid game is hell on earth, while the end game is the push for winning. While its not a 1-1 accurate to ww1 it is very real feeling, its dark, gritty and is the most immersive modern AAA shooter to come out in recent years for me. Great to see more videos appreciating this game, it deserves it.
"not 1-1 accurate" is a bit of an understatement. BF1 is one of the least historically accurate games ever made. At no point does the title come close to capturing the atmosphere of WWI.
Absolutely my favourite game in the BF series. Loved every single thing about it. Sound, atmosphere, the maps, it was a truly gritty and intense game. Not many games come close to BF1’s immersion.
Christmas time 2016, I just finished my semester and bought a gaming laptop during Black Friday Sales. I heard a lot about this Battlefield game and decided to play it starting from the single player campaign. Two enemies nodding each other and making a truce in no man’s land, flying as a pigeon and delivering the message (while The Fight of the Pigeon OST was on play), Ramboing and shooting down planes with armored suit on Monte Grappa, aerial dog-fights above London sky, stealth and night mission in Sinai Desert: I still remember all of them to this day. And the anticipating multiplayer gameplay, all the epic and funny moments, the rage, the adrenaline, the satisfaction: I was so into the game and played it constantly about 15 hours a day till the end of In the Name of Tsar DLC. So many good memories, man. So many good memories. Even to these years, I occasionally think about those days and smile.
@@andybogdan4380 Initially, it was MSI GT75 Titan with two GTX 1070s in SLI. Multiple graphic cards in SLI configuration were quite popular back then and I remember the laptop came with two charging bricks which are ridiculously big. Because of portability issue, I had to send it back after 5 days of playing BF1 and got myself a Razer Blade Pro (2016). Played most of the game on the Blade afterwards.
The Campaign was awesome too. I loved the war story format and the war stories themselves, from the signature trench warfare, to slogging through the mud as a tank crew, to fighting in the Alps, to storming the beach at Gallipoli, and sneaking through the desert on horseback as a Bedouin rebel. I loved the different settings, and how it educated about aspects of the war that may go overlooked. The pilot war story was interesting, but it would have been better if we got to play as a German ace like the Red Baron or someone like that.
This game has gotta be my favorite game of all time, DICE really peaked here, this game is such a masterclass in immersion, art direction and sound design, to this day I've yet to play a game that has gotten me as immersed as BF1.
It had been a long period in my life where I hadn't played a lot of games. Life happened and then somehow I tried BF1 and it reinvigorated my love for games. I used to play it on a PC below the minimum specs with 20-25 fps and I loved every second of it. The campaign, the maps, the chaos... Nowadays I have a bad ass PC, I play it with 144 fps and I'm thankful for every second spent with this game. Thank you to the developers!
Ditto. Long 15 year gaming hiatus that only BF1 was able to revitalize and ditto again... I loved every second of it. Black Friday at BestBuy while waiting in a long line, eventually passed by an XBox that had BF1 bundled with it. I still can't believe I picked it up while in line on a spur-of-the-moment decision out of curiosity to see if I would be interested in gaming again. Several months and thousands of dollars later, I upgraded to a top-of-the-line pc gaming rig all for this game... and the Division, ngl, lol
As a big WWI nerd, Battlefield 1 is definitely my personal favorite in the series. However I really do feel that in terms of core gameplay design and all out war feel, the series peaked with BF3. That was the last game where we had properly defended home bases for teams to roll out of (think Caspian Border), airfields to take off and repair aircraft, dedicated faction weapons with their own pros/cons, properly balanced classes and vehicles that would be in the spawn area waiting for you instead of just popping into existence out of thin air. Battlefield 1 has some design choices I take issue with, but those are really the continuation of changes originally made in BF4 (battlefield pickups, shared weapons across factions, no bases/airfields, etc). There was a lot of missed opportunities for unique faction vehicles and faction specific strengths, but my nit-picking aside you definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. It's amazing how much AAA games have regressed from the Golden Age.
Airfields were removed to due spawn trapping. Dedicated faction weapons were locked until you completed the progression for the kits. Classes are more balanced in BF1. The assault class was the most effective class for infantry in 3 and 4 while 1 every class is viable. Vehicles are balanced due to self repair. Vehicle regen is nooby.
I thank you so much for this video! It gave me chills and goosebumps through out the video.i played this game since the BETA and even had the pleasure to play Incursions before it was randomly removed. And being part of Flakfire's platoon waiting for Westie's new update video every week with more anticipation I ever had for any other game. This is one of the those games where you become the character you play as and almost feel bad when you get obliterated by a field cannon from across the map. Destroying the train on Argone Forest is thrilling, I beat the broken bottle challenge on Pashendale on my first try MY HEART NEVER BEAT FASTER!! somethings were frustrating like bullet deviation but sniping on Sinai dessert almost felt like cheating! Wicked easy. The sound of the whistle blowing before you charge in operation will always be one of my favorite parts of the game. I was mostly a solo player as most my friends didn't like the old guns but the maps and action was the cake for me. I loved flanking maps as a German soldier with his MP18 mowing down anyone who would dare oppose me. thank you DICE, EA for such an amazing game. PTFO!
The Music is such a blast. Hearing these peacefull sounds right after a hectic game hits different. “Flight of the Pigeon” even made it into my “classical movie soundtracks” playlist along with songs like “Across the Stars” from Star Wars or the Interstellar soundtrack
Battlefield 1 will always hold a very special place in my heart. I'll never forget that reveal trailer, and how after all the hype the game absolutely lived up to all expectations 🙌 Battlefield 1 was truly a masterpiece, and honestly historic too
Loved the video! You're spot on with your commentary and you have a great voice for it too. I'm also glad you took the time to talk about the sound design, I know that personally, it's one of the aspect of the game that got me hooked the most. When your shots feel punchy and the sound design gives you such positive feedback (satisfying headshot sound, chunky shotgun blast, etc), it's so much more immersive and BF1 did a stellar job at it!
“Dawn of a new time” is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard from a games soundtrack. When the girl comes in and starts singing is just perfect. The first time I heard it, I sat there on the main menu and listened to the whole thing.
my only ever "viral" gaming clip was in BF1 when i sniped like 3 guys back to back to back off the top of the blimp. The official Battlefield facebook page reposted it and it got a few million views.
This is the pinnacle of FPS games. Nothing I have played before or since has come close to giving me the same feeling that this game did. Ripe for a re-release.
Titan fall 2 is my kind of game and one I would personally put above it just for it's gameplay and campaign, but bf1 is solidly in second place, and I don't really have a solid 3rd so yeah it's definitely these 2 in my book that take the cake. The fact these games were released days apart is actually kind of insane to me, 2016 will go down as one of the best years in media in general, the shear amount of great games and music to come out that year is astounding.
I grew up playing CoD and stopped playing in College. Then this game drops, never played a BF game in my life, and BF1 instantly becomes my favorite game of all time. I have nothing bad to say about this game, everything from the graphics, gameplay, gun play, audio, SOUNDTRACK! And so much more. Only thing that is bad is I struggle finding lobbies today! Edit: phenomenal job on this video! You captured everything I’ve felt and said before
Battlefield 1 is the only shooter i find myself just looking around and taking in the scene mid combat. Bullets flying from all directions, shells exploding, fire burning. The atmosphere this game provides is unmatched
I live in New Zealand, I recently downloaded this game and the only servers that show up are in other reigons and high as ping. If I were to get a vpn would that help me a bit?
played this game and honestly it brought me back, just reminded me of when games were fun, i played cod with a friend and was like "Jesus i know exactly why i ditched this game" then after decided to try out battlefield, is was cheap, just got done downloading and the user experience was just on a whole new level from the ui, to the actual gameplay it was just fun....which is something i honestly forget games can be sometimes and of course i only get reminded when i boot up a 7 year old game, every modern game is a morsel of fun you can only experience after you've torn through the 1000 layers of wrapping thats made up of tedium and shitty business decisions fueled by greed and out of touch fucking idiots
This was the first multiplayer fps other than CS go I've played at that time. The story was beautiful, multiplayer was great, guns felt real and sniping was sooo satisfying
This is probably my third favorite battlefield game right behind Battlefield Vietnam and BF2142. One of my family members was one of the last Americans that was killed near Verdun in Meuse-Argonne Offensive. He was a 19 year old farmer from Wisconsin that was really good with horses.
i played this game day 1 and loved it. Sales numbers speak for themselves on this one too. I do remember the hardcore battlefield fans having problems with the casualization of the game, but as a fan since Bad Company 2, I really loved this entry even more than 3 or 4 personally. Bad Company 2 just barely misses my number one spot though lol
I started gaming on NES and Atari. It was 2000 and I was 10 years old. I was poor so I got the consoles late. By 2002 I finally had a PSOne. One of my first FPS games was Medal of Honor. I loved it. Then Medal of Honor: Underground came out. I was hooked. Spec Ops was another one. Later I moved to Brothers in Arms, Rainbow Six and Call of Duty 1 and 2 on PC and PS2. Half Life 2, the list goes on. I hadn't really found a game I got hooked on for a long time until Battlefield: Bad Company 2 came out. It for me was a masterpiece. Even now the game visually looks pretty nice. I loved how, I guess raw the game felt. The story line was great which you don't see that much anymore. There wasn't a ton of HUD clutter, it was just simple, and it worked. There's bullet drop you have to account for on the rifles. The helicopters were a blast to fly and to shoot down. There was tanks. It was my go to for a long time. I hadn't even moved on to BF1 yet because I was usually playing BC2 or another game I was hooked on. I was having Punk Buster issues with BC2 on a new install and could never figure it out so I stopped playing. Finally this year I picked up BF1 and it didn't grab me at first. I felt like I was having to re-learn FPS all over again but after a few weeks I wanted to play more and more. It really is a solid game.
It is peak battlefield. The visuals, the mechanics, the atmosphere, the sound. It was jaw dropping when it came out. I still remember the first time i sniped a pilot out of a cockpit while he was swooping to lay down fire... what a game. 30k multiplayer kills with the Mondragon Storm alone on xbox.
@@EarthGeographicalRecon wtf are you talking about? Multiplayer is exclusively real people. There is no AI whatsoever in multiplayer for this title. I play with 63 other real people every time I play, I even have to wait in server queues most of the time. Think before you speak.
I’m 2016 I lost my grand father and my great grand mother I went into a depression when the game came out on ps4 I felt happiness again thanks to this game I feel happiness again
If you watched the making of BF1. It'll be no surprise why this game was so well made. The amount of hard work and passion from everyone involved in the creation of this game is astounding. And because this game was not politically driven like most anything that comes out these days are. It was a fantastic experience since everything felt it was real in this game. Of course it's not 100% historically accurate. But because it was so well made it feels like it was.
This is to this day my favorite video game of all time. No other game even comes close to how I feel when I'm playing this game and I am so immersed it's like I feel like I am literally playing a movie or actually a soldier in the war. And those epic moments are a regular occurrence in this game, not a rarity like in other games. I especially like the Operations game mode. The linear attack and defend back and forth is so well done. There will never be another game like this one. We are literally living peak total war immersive fps gaming, and I'm glad that I got to be part of it since the open beta. Dice and EA, my hat's off to you on this one. You have captured pure magic in video game form, and for that I thank you.
Battlefield 1 shows just how good AAA games can be if they're made with genuine passion. So many AAA games feel rushed for profit, that the actual game designers were forced to scrap good ideas so that someone in a better suit could get another yacht. But Battlefield 1 is a game where a group of professionals sat down and created their masterpiece with a near unlimited budget, completely unfettered by suits.
I had the honor of playing the game since launch. Absolutely blew me away, set a fucken standard. At the time i even knew it was something special. Great times and memories
I might be in the minority but both BF1 and BF5 are my most disliked Battlefields . The soldier movement nerfs to speed and jumping mixed with the campy nature killed my vibe . And they destroyed Rush in both games
Absolutely spot on review. This game was amazing when it dropped. My friends and I sunk so many hours into it and had an absolute blast. I was a huge fan of the horses and the artillery truck.
Imagine if Battlefield 1 had the call of duty death where you switch to 3rd person and die, then you have to watch someone shoot you. It would break immersion. Instead, when you die, there are zero cuts. It pans on the person who killed you, and then zooms out to overlook the battlefield. Then when you respawn, it zooms back in, and boom you’re in first person. THAT’S immersion. Zero breaks or cuts. All one take.
It's weird to think about the voice acting in multiplayer shooter being one of the standout aspects, but the callouts, yells, and screams of teammates are a huge part of what makes BF1's combat feel so immersive. It really sells the horror and adrenaline of battle.
I am spoiled by the sound design of BF1. When I play other FPS games, it makes me realize how great the sound design of BF1 is, while I'm playing. I can't help it.
I recently got bf1 (a week ago) and I did jot regret it! It felt way more immersive than any other game. The sound design, game mechanics and everything is just amazing like when an airship slowly descends to the ground as it burns, running to the next sector with your teammates as the music intensifies, mortar shells hitting everywhere and being lucky to miss it. Truly one of my fav games of all time
I remember watching my brother play this when it first came out 7 years ago, i thought of it a few days ago and i bought battlefield 1 and damn i am having a blast.
Heck of a video!! Brought back all the memories of the long online play sessions me and bro used to have. Passing the stick and trying to rank up. Time to finish the war stories. Maybe try to hit 86. Servers on PS5 are still full. As they should be
For me, BF1 looses almost all that atmosphere with the full auto weapons everyone runs around with, not even in WW2 did the average soldier have full auto guns
Wow. I agree with everything you said 100%. I recently got back into this game and I don't know why I ever stopped playing it. It is just so freaking good.

So many good memories, man. So many good memories.
Even to these years, I occasionally think about those days and smile.
Curious, what laptop did you buy?
@@andybogdan4380 Initially, it was MSI GT75 Titan with two GTX 1070s in SLI. Multiple graphic cards in SLI configuration were quite popular back then and I remember the laptop came with two charging bricks which are ridiculously big. Because of portability issue, I had to send it back after 5 days of playing BF1 and got myself a Razer Blade Pro (2016). Played most of the game on the Blade afterwards.
If they could do a Vietnam game at this level that would be insane!!
as a vietnamese, i think it could be great but you know the map in vn war kinda ehhhh it gets boring quick
Try Rising Storm 2: Vietnam
@@pork0chop dead game
Well they did do a Vietnam expansion for bad company 2. God I so wish they would remaster it
A Cold war era battlefield would rock ngl.
The Campaign was awesome too. I loved the war story format and the war stories themselves, from the signature trench warfare, to slogging through the mud as a tank crew, to fighting in the Alps, to storming the beach at Gallipoli, and sneaking through the desert on horseback as a Bedouin rebel. I loved the different settings, and how it educated about aspects of the war that may go overlooked.
The pilot war story was interesting, but it would have been better if we got to play as a German ace like the Red Baron or someone like that.
I still get chills when that trailer plays. I must have watched it a couple dozen times the day it dropped.
This game has gotta be my favorite game of all time, DICE really peaked here, this game is such a masterclass in immersion, art direction and sound design, to this day I've yet to play a game that has gotten me as immersed as BF1.
We were so spoilt and we never even knew it.
The last great game before gaming became a soulless costume party
Clearly never played GOT or RDR2
Someone needs to play Post Scriptum. Beats BF1 in every immersion category by miles.
Hell Let Loose is the closest I've ever gotten
It had been a long period in my life where I hadn't played a lot of games. Life happened and then somehow I tried BF1 and it reinvigorated my love for games. I used to play it on a PC below the minimum specs with 20-25 fps and I loved every second of it. The campaign, the maps, the chaos... Nowadays I have a bad ass PC, I play it with 144 fps and I'm thankful for every second spent with this game. Thank you to the developers!
Ditto. Long 15 year gaming hiatus that only BF1 was able to revitalize and ditto again... I loved every second of it. Black Friday at BestBuy while waiting in a long line, eventually passed by an XBox that had BF1 bundled with it. I still can't believe I picked it up while in line on a spur-of-the-moment decision out of curiosity to see if I would be interested in gaming again.
Several months and thousands of dollars later, I upgraded to a top-of-the-line pc gaming rig all for this game... and the Division, ngl, lol
As a big WWI nerd, Battlefield 1 is definitely my personal favorite in the series. However I really do feel that in terms of core gameplay design and all out war feel, the series peaked with BF3. That was the last game where we had properly defended home bases for teams to roll out of (think Caspian Border), airfields to take off and repair aircraft, dedicated faction weapons with their own pros/cons, properly balanced classes and vehicles that would be in the spawn area waiting for you instead of just popping into existence out of thin air. Battlefield 1 has some design choices I take issue with, but those are really the continuation of changes originally made in BF4 (battlefield pickups, shared weapons across factions, no bases/airfields, etc). There was a lot of missed opportunities for unique faction vehicles and faction specific strengths, but my nit-picking aside you definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. It's amazing how much AAA games have regressed from the Golden Age.
Airfields were removed to due spawn trapping. Dedicated faction weapons were locked until you completed the progression for the kits. Classes are more balanced in BF1. The assault class was the most effective class for infantry in 3 and 4 while 1 every class is viable. Vehicles are balanced due to self repair. Vehicle regen is nooby.
Right on the mark about Battlefield 3. Bad Company 2 is my favorite but 3 is just millimeters behind
everything about barttlefield 1 was amazing, the timing, the time line, the visuals, the stories, the gameplay, the community everything.
I thank you so much for this video! It gave me chills and goosebumps through out the video.i played this game since the BETA and even had the pleasure to play Incursions before it was randomly removed. And being part of Flakfire's platoon waiting for Westie's new update video every week with more anticipation I ever had for any other game. This is one of the those games where you become the character you play as and almost feel bad when you get obliterated by a field cannon from across the map. Destroying the train on Argone Forest is thrilling, I beat the broken bottle challenge on Pashendale on my first try MY HEART NEVER BEAT FASTER!! somethings were frustrating like bullet deviation but sniping on Sinai dessert almost felt like cheating! Wicked easy. The sound of the whistle blowing before you charge in operation will always be one of my favorite parts of the game. I was mostly a solo player as most my friends didn't like the old guns but the maps and action was the cake for me. I loved flanking maps as a German soldier with his MP18 mowing down anyone who would dare oppose me. thank you DICE, EA for such an amazing game. PTFO!
The hip-fire on the MP-18 its so good, most of the times I dont even ads cause there is no need for it.
The Music is such a blast. Hearing these peacefull sounds right after a hectic game hits different. “Flight of the Pigeon” even made it into my “classical movie soundtracks” playlist along with songs like “Across the Stars” from Star Wars or the Interstellar soundtrack
Battlefield 1 will always hold a very special place in my heart.
I'll never forget that reveal trailer, and how after all the hype the game absolutely lived up to all expectations 🙌
Battlefield 1 was truly a masterpiece, and honestly historic too
Let us promise here, to never let this game die.
I’m in
I volunteer
Bf1 servers must run till the end of time!
You have my sword
Loved the video! You're spot on with your commentary and you have a great voice for it too. I'm also glad you took the time to talk about the sound design, I know that personally, it's one of the aspect of the game that got me hooked the most. When your shots feel punchy and the sound design gives you such positive feedback (satisfying headshot sound, chunky shotgun blast, etc), it's so much more immersive and BF1 did a stellar job at it!
“Dawn of a new time” is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard from a games soundtrack. When the girl comes in and starts singing is just perfect. The first time I heard it, I sat there on the main menu and listened to the whole thing.
my only ever "viral" gaming clip was in BF1 when i sniped like 3 guys back to back to back off the top of the blimp. The official Battlefield facebook page reposted it and it got a few million views.
The sound it makes when you sit in gunner seat in a tank is incredible, it was my first day in BF1 and I will never forget its
Just started playing this game again. Hard to find servers, but the people who still play are very dedicated. Best FPS of all time in my book.
You can find US servers easy on pc
how about ps4?@@splashboi898
Idk what server you are or what platform, but here in asia, there are so many servers with full of players lol
The Martini Henry shot followed by the headshot kill sound causes an eargasm everytime it happens, and it NEVER gets old.
Game companies now are too afraid to expose their soft audiences to anything grounded in reality…this may be the last of its kind. Awesome vid man!
the audiences aren’t soft, studio executives and suits keep everything PG and corny to please investors
@@Fridgemasters Also true!
I'm so glad I got to experience this game from launch 1700h and I'm still having fun it's incredible
The teamwork in this game is amazing
This is the pinnacle of FPS games. Nothing I have played before or since has come close to giving me the same feeling that this game did.
Ripe for a re-release.
Titan fall 2 is my kind of game and one I would personally put above it just for it's gameplay and campaign, but bf1 is solidly in second place, and I don't really have a solid 3rd so yeah it's definitely these 2 in my book that take the cake.
The fact these games were released days apart is actually kind of insane to me, 2016 will go down as one of the best years in media in general, the shear amount of great games and music to come out that year is astounding.
I just recently started playing Battlefield 1 and the plane controls are a big step up from V! I'm excited to see what this game has to offer.
I grew up playing CoD and stopped playing in College. Then this game drops, never played a BF game in my life, and BF1 instantly becomes my favorite game of all time. I have nothing bad to say about this game, everything from the graphics, gameplay, gun play, audio, SOUNDTRACK! And so much more. Only thing that is bad is I struggle finding lobbies today!
Edit: phenomenal job on this video! You captured everything I’ve felt and said before
The only word is Masterpiece. GO GO GO
I go back to BF1 and BF5 during the holidays months. Gets me in the cold winter vibes every time!
My favorite battlefield. and it will always be ❤ unbeatable in every aspect. fantastic game, a legend ❤
I was 15 when this came up, I'm 23 now and still play it from time to time. Probably my favourite Battlefield, along with BF3 and BF4.
I wish people still played it in my area so I could still experience this masterpiece!
where u from bro

@@BGLNZ well seem dead bf1
Battlefield 1 is the only shooter i find myself just looking around and taking in the scene mid combat. Bullets flying from all directions, shells exploding, fire burning. The atmosphere this game provides is unmatched
I live in New Zealand, I recently downloaded this game and the only servers that show up are in other reigons and high as ping. If I were to get a vpn would that help me a bit?
I’m only asking because you’re the most recent comment and I miss playing this game. Can’t find many Australian servers at all.
played this game and honestly it brought me back, just reminded me of when games were fun, i played cod with a friend and was like "Jesus i know exactly why i ditched this game" then after decided to try out battlefield, is was cheap, just got done downloading and the user experience was just on a whole new level from the ui, to the actual gameplay
it was just fun....which is something i honestly forget games can be sometimes and of course i only get reminded when i boot up a 7 year old game, every modern game is a morsel of fun you can only experience after you've torn through the 1000 layers of wrapping thats made up of tedium and shitty business decisions fueled by greed and out of touch fucking idiots
That reveal trailer STILL gives me chills like nothing else has.
Unpopular opinion: Verdun was a better WW1 shooter then BF1
There's a reason why that is unpopular
@@Prodrentjetbecause the game isn't mainstream?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂exactly !!!!
You're right when it comes to authenticity
This was the first multiplayer fps other than CS go I've played at that time. The story was beautiful, multiplayer was great, guns felt real and sniping was sooo satisfying
Never could get into this game. I preferred Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, and Hardline over 1. It’s still better than the disasters that 4 and 5 are.
Battlefield 4 and 5 are disasters? 🤨 They’re awesome games
This is probably my third favorite battlefield game right behind Battlefield Vietnam and BF2142. One of my family members was one of the last Americans that was killed near Verdun in Meuse-Argonne Offensive. He was a 19 year old farmer from Wisconsin that was really good with horses.
Remember when everyone hated this game until BF5 came out. Just like how everyone hated BF5 until 2042 came out….. this community lol
i played this game day 1 and loved it. Sales numbers speak for themselves on this one too. I do remember the hardcore battlefield fans having problems with the casualization of the game, but as a fan since Bad Company 2, I really loved this entry even more than 3 or 4 personally. Bad Company 2 just barely misses my number one spot though lol
I dont know what crack you are smoking this game was amazing day 1.
I started gaming on NES and Atari. It was 2000 and I was 10 years old. I was poor so I got the consoles late. By 2002 I finally had a PSOne. One of my first FPS games was Medal of Honor. I loved it. Then Medal of Honor: Underground came out. I was hooked. Spec Ops was another one. Later I moved to Brothers in Arms, Rainbow Six and Call of Duty 1 and 2 on PC and PS2. Half Life 2, the list goes on. I hadn't really found a game I got hooked on for a long time until Battlefield: Bad Company 2 came out. It for me was a masterpiece. Even now the game visually looks pretty nice. I loved how, I guess raw the game felt. The story line was great which you don't see that much anymore. There wasn't a ton of HUD clutter, it was just simple, and it worked. There's bullet drop you have to account for on the rifles. The helicopters were a blast to fly and to shoot down. There was tanks. It was my go to for a long time. I hadn't even moved on to BF1 yet because I was usually playing BC2 or another game I was hooked on. I was having Punk Buster issues with BC2 on a new install and could never figure it out so I stopped playing. Finally this year I picked up BF1 and it didn't grab me at first. I felt like I was having to re-learn FPS all over again but after a few weeks I wanted to play more and more. It really is a solid game.
It is peak battlefield. The visuals, the mechanics, the atmosphere, the sound. It was jaw dropping when it came out. I still remember the first time i sniped a pilot out of a cockpit while he was swooping to lay down fire... what a game. 30k multiplayer kills with the Mondragon Storm alone on xbox.
Only thing it needs is a human playerbase
@@EarthGeographicalRecon wtf are you talking about? Multiplayer is exclusively real people. There is no AI whatsoever in multiplayer for this title.
I play with 63 other real people every time I play, I even have to wait in server queues most of the time.
Think before you speak.

@@EarthGeographicalRecon lol… you are liking your own comments while having nothing to say.
I know who the 🤡 is.
I’m 2016 I lost my grand father and my great grand mother I went into a depression when the game came out on ps4 I felt happiness again thanks to this game I feel happiness again
How games like old school battlefront 2 are still popular, we need to keep this game popular
If you watched the making of BF1. It'll be no surprise why this game was so well made. The amount of hard work and passion from everyone involved in the creation of this game is astounding. And because this game was not politically driven like most anything that comes out these days are. It was a fantastic experience since everything felt it was real in this game. Of course it's not 100% historically accurate. But because it was so well made it feels like it was.
I literally bought bf1 right after i saw this clip. Such unique introductuon of the game. Thanks for sharing thr clip btw
This is to this day my favorite video game of all time. No other game even comes close to how I feel when I'm playing this game and I am so immersed it's like I feel like I am literally playing a movie or actually a soldier in the war. And those epic moments are a regular occurrence in this game, not a rarity like in other games. I especially like the Operations game mode. The linear attack and defend back and forth is so well done. There will never be another game like this one. We are literally living peak total war immersive fps gaming, and I'm glad that I got to be part of it since the open beta. Dice and EA, my hat's off to you on this one. You have captured pure magic in video game form, and for that I thank you.
Battlefield 1 shows just how good AAA games can be if they're made with genuine passion. So many AAA games feel rushed for profit, that the actual game designers were forced to scrap good ideas so that someone in a better suit could get another yacht. But Battlefield 1 is a game where a group of professionals sat down and created their masterpiece with a near unlimited budget, completely unfettered by suits.
Bf1 was broken on launch lmao
I had the honor of playing the game since launch. Absolutely blew me away, set a fucken standard. At the time i even knew it was something special. Great times and memories
7 YEARS ALREADY????? Holy shit, I'm getting old. Fuck me.
Battlefield 1
Team Fortress 2
and Hearts of Iron.
These 3 games just refuses to die.
Honestly, the only thing bugging me about the singleplayer is the fact that there are only stories from the entente side.
as a battlefield enjoyer since 1942, the thing i like most is they didnt forget to focus on naval warfare aspect.
This game isn't talked about enough, it literally still holds up with the games of recent. Truly a masterpiece.
The poor launch of bf5 is a tragedy, the game was honestly a refined version of bf1 in terms of gameplay and balancing
I compare every FPS game I play to this game, and so far nothing has. Somehow we have gone backwards in producing quality FPS games.
the main theme to the kill sound, all of it was fucking perfect cuh 😞
Can we just appreciate the SOUND of this game too, awesome sound effects and a STELLAR Soundtrack.
Bf1 was poppin last night played for 8 hours and didnt even realize it. Little tired at work today but worth it.
Battlefield 1 is what you get when developers can actually make a game & not prioritise bundles.
I just got back into the game september 2024 on console. Its still alot of fun an holds up...
I might be in the minority but both BF1 and BF5 are my most disliked Battlefields . The soldier movement nerfs to speed and jumping mixed with the campy nature killed my vibe . And they destroyed Rush in both games
Absolutely spot on review.
This game was amazing when it dropped. My friends and I sunk so many hours into it and had an absolute blast.
I was a huge fan of the horses and the artillery truck.
Imagine if Battlefield 1 had the call of duty death where you switch to 3rd person and die, then you have to watch someone shoot you. It would break immersion.
Instead, when you die, there are zero cuts. It pans on the person who killed you, and then zooms out to overlook the battlefield. Then when you respawn, it zooms back in, and boom you’re in first person. THAT’S immersion. Zero breaks or cuts. All one take.
Bro made me get back on Battlefield 1 agian.
it gets me when you start the game and it says "do your best, you're not supposed to survive" that hits hard haha
It's weird to think about the voice acting in multiplayer shooter being one of the standout aspects, but the callouts, yells, and screams of teammates are a huge part of what makes BF1's combat feel so immersive. It really sells the horror and adrenaline of battle.
I went back to the game this year and it still is goated!
I feel like this game gets you as close to what war feels like. Often I’m hiding in foxholes in fear
I would love to go back but tbh it won’t be the same. Remembering the memories I made on that game with “friends” that are no longer in my life
12 year old cousin got me back into this game. Ngl it feels like a retired soldier coming back to the old gaurd
I dont have memorable memories of playing BF3, BF4, BF5 and BF2042. But from BF2 and BF1 I got a lot.
the game is just amazing overall, 7 years later and always feel great to go back and play it like back in the days
I am spoiled by the sound design of BF1.
When I play other FPS games, it makes me realize how great the sound design of BF1 is, while I'm playing.
I can't help it.
I recently got bf1 (a week ago) and I did jot regret it! It felt way more immersive than any other game. The sound design, game mechanics and everything is just amazing like when an airship slowly descends to the ground as it burns, running to the next sector with your teammates as the music intensifies, mortar shells hitting everywhere and being lucky to miss it. Truly one of my fav games of all time
I remember watching my brother play this when it first came out 7 years ago, i thought of it a few days ago and i bought battlefield 1 and damn i am having a blast.
Got back into the game myself again recently very fun.
Heck of a video!! Brought back all the memories of the long online play sessions me and bro used to have. Passing the stick and trying to rank up. Time to finish the war stories. Maybe try to hit 86. Servers on PS5 are still full. As they should be
Missed this on release having my first play through at the moment. Amazing game.
Just started playing again the other night, i was getting wrecked big time but i had so much fun
For me, BF1 looses almost all that atmosphere with the full auto weapons everyone runs around with, not even in WW2 did the average soldier have full auto guns
BF1 does have the “Back to Basics” game mode which is awesome for that very reason. It’s a rifles and pistols only game mode. Lots of fun too
I've been returning to this game for 7 years every february... I just feel an annual urge to play the game again. It just has something extra
As one of the top 1% of the top 1% medic/sniper build, and as a millennial, this will be the single greatest pvp game I’ve ever played. Long live BF1.
The sounds in battlefield 1 is pretty much what you would hear in Ww1 and that’s why I like it
No game has the art like when the blimp is blown up and falling.
Wow. I agree with everything you said 100%. I recently got back into this game and I don't know why I ever stopped playing it. It is just so freaking good.
