found him the same way man... just randomly one day... this guy keeps it simple and is Halairious while being very honest... I will recommend him to anyone looking for a good opinion on a game
No problem, man. Just stating the facts. I'm curious, where did you learn all the technical game lingo? School? Or just from playing games for decades?
ACG Interesting... Thanks for replying and for all the great content that you make. I heard another channel use "the bearded shaman of gamin" the other day. I wanted to kill them!
***** oh. i thought you meant there was an option to have the in game commentator be an AI voice from the side you were playing on (like in previous bf games). that would be much better imo
Watched a Gamespot review that praised the game throughout the entire video and didn't bring up a SINGLE negative thing. Been waiting for the real reviewers to make their videos on it. Thanks for this, ACG!
They cut out french and russian campaigns in the multiplayer to sell them to us later?? That´s almost as bad as cutting out space battles in Battlefront
Been loving your reviews ACG. I'll settle your channel next to Jim Sterling, Zero Punctuation, Angry Joe, Totalbiscuit and TFS Gaming as my "go to" stop for gaming videos and critique. And yes, I'm allowed to like them all equally.
ACG Question, if you respond. Would you ever consider working with the aforementioned, or potentially being a guest on the podquisition or cooptional podcast? I feel like you'd make a great guest. Keep up the good work.
ACG Ah, I see. Hope to see a collaborative piece in the future regardless. To be fair (and I'm not trying to blame you or generalize your fanbase in saying this), I see a lot of borderline evangelist comments trashing content creators while praising your name. A top comment on your Mafia 3 video springs to mind, with a 200+ liked post stating "and fuck Angry Joe that sellout pos," in that exact spelling. I know you don't tolerate shitposting, and I greatly respect that about you, which is the only reason I mention it. Might want to tell your community that. Jim Sterling had to do the same awhile back.
Ya those are not the same thing. That kind of stuff can't and certainly wont be controlled here. Otherwise I would just delete those who attack me which I never would lol
Call of Duty: World at War had the "War" game mode that is pretty much the one described. Which peaks my interest since that was my favorite Call of Duty game, and a really fun game type.
"...like you held onto the bong just a bit-too-long". Enjoyed the entire review, but enjoyed this quote singularly. As if you need the motivation: keep it up, ACG. You are very good at what you do.
I have played over 100 hours of bf1 and I don't like the operations because most teamates don't play the objective they just lay down in the edge of the map with their rifles while enemy team takes over the objectives. I often find myself being the only one protecting the objectives. I also hope they would ad endles rotation to operations so I don't have to find a new game every time it ends.
Steve Napierala that doesn't make since because a lot of us are already playing it. By doing the Early Acces, then the Early Enlister, then the full launch they get to slowly bring the player levels on the servers. Smart move on their part.
Love how much actual information are in your reviews. This isn't a 60 second long video with a number pinned on the end of it, this is an actual in depth review of what works and what doesn't in the game. Keep up the great work.
its already 45 bucks on pc ( on certain sites ) and what i would do is just get it for Christmas. the only problem is that there is probably other games u want for Christmas like myself i want Civ 6 and the new South Park game both for Christmas.
OfficerBananas Yeah EA business strategy with the battlefield franchise making it a DLC platform with literally more content in the expansions than the core game means ill never pre order or buy the game at msrp. Paywalling two major countries outright is EA giving a big finger to their consumers as well. Its amazing what they get away with these days because the genre in large is so awful and full of cut content shenanigans.
game is stable tho. flawless netcode (60hz server on PC), no crashing like in BF4... of course some balancing issues, which considering the scale of this game simply can't be avoided... but we're starting from a much better point! Cannot recommend it enough
I completely agree with your pints on the sound design. I'm an avid player since release, and to this day I still notice new sound affects. Like how empty shells make different sounds based on what they land on. Or that your character will react differently when spotting an enemy player of the same class as he would any other class.
antisnipe snipers, plan your attack, and keep trying. I got ROLLED like a sumbitch for the first 4 hours. And then just rethought what I was doing. Flank, work with a teamate. That kind of thing
its already 45 bucks on pc ( on certain sites ) and what i would do is just get it for Christmas that way ur not spending any of your money on it hehehe.
Fastest, most in-depth reviews for brand new games that are just released. I don't know how other review channels stay relevant. It's like ordering gourmet food at the speed of a fast food restaurant, and then there's the less enticing choices of crappy food at the speed of a crockpot. I'm so glad I found this channel. You're the best Karek.
Hey Karak you're truly one of a kind game reviewer here on youtube, really love the constant quality content! keep up the great work bearded shamin' of gamin'!
We expecting any coverage on anything from PSVR? Never been upset with anything I've purchased based on your reviews in the past and since I've got a PSVR on the way it'd be great to see some of your opinions. Be good to see an honest review for some of these games that aren't just payed for by Sony.
Best multiplayer game I've ever played, more fun than I had back in the day drinking beers with my friends playing 4 player Golden eye on the N64, thats how much I enjoy this game.
Bruce Wayne Even the cod players get into the game, they're not effect the fun and gameplay in multiplayer, as they're slowly getting know how to play the game.
Nice work as usual. Battlefield games generally aren't my thing since not enough friends play them for the purchase. But nice to hear about what they did right and the weaknesses.
I'm a COD fanboy... let me restate I was a COD fanboy. I am proud to make BF1 my 2nd BF purchase and I am sold. COD really screwed the pooch with Infinite Warfare. It's MP isn't as good as BO3 and that is not good. I will suggest every casual gamer I know to buy BF1 over COD... for the first time ever. This was perfect . Thank you, DICE for realizing what fans wanted. Thank for not giving us Space Warfare.
Jack S you can't really blame iw for the game because they were in development when the community liked bo3. They can't just change the whole theme of the game if the community changes their mind with less than a year until release
mdima1234 To be honest this IW is a bunch of B list game makers. The last IW game that had some of the original members was MW3. After MW3, the rest of the original IW team left and now u have a bunch of new people under the banner of the same team that made the best COD games ever.
Holy crap man, I watched so many game reviews in my life, but I've never really enjoyed them until I started watching your videos. Your method of delivery is both informative and entertaining. I don't know how much effort are you putting into making of these videos, but it is working just fine.
I've been utterly fascinated about WW1 History for years, sadly i don't have anything that would run this. But if this make more people want to learn more abut the Conflict that's great stuff. And great review man.
Maybe check out Verdun and see if you can meat the requirements, it won't be as fast as BF1 but It does offer a nice attack/counter attack trench warfare system, it has a level progression in it which I feel slightly affects gameplay but that will iron out as you commit a little time and unlock what you need.
It's something along the lines of Red orchestra 2 just during The Great War right? think I've seen some gameplay videos of it. If so i'll probably love it ;)
As a German its pretty sick to play the game in english and hear REAL GERMAN VOICES without bad accents. They actually hired real germans to make the voices. Pretty good
I had my hopes up because apparently one of the mission names sounds like it could be played from a German perspective. If not, that would be a goddamn shame. Also there was no "evil" faction in WW1, everybody was just as bad or good. So fighting only Germans, once again (sigh)...,doesn't make sense at all.
British (tank), Australian(messenger), Italian(armor suit), Canadian(pilot), American(Hellfighter), and Arab are the types of single player characters you play as. I may forgotten a few.
great review! I'm actually not working a midnight release for once so I can't wait for 1201 to hit tonight so I can jump in with my friends and try the Operations mode!!!!
That was actually a really awesome fair review. You didn't hesitate to give the game some fair critiques that it deserved, all while at the same time making sure to point out the great aspects of the game. By far the best game reviewer on youtube.
Alexander de Montfort actually soon they will bring hardcore and classic modes ...don't let one review cloud your decision ...they also have operations which is a rush type of mode
Another solid review, Karak. Love your straight-shooting style; you really can't get that anywhere else, so I make it a point to watch all of your reviews before buying a game. Thanks!
I played Battlefield 3 a little before Battlefield 4's release and then I bought Battlefield 4. I've been playing BF4 for the past 3 years and I couldn't find an fps to beat it (except idk, CSGO) so when I heard that Battlefield was going back in time, I was hyped. I played the beta and was pleasantly surprised and in a state of wanting more. Now that the release date is within days, I'm literally suffering through the wait. If only I had bought the Deluxe Edition! If anyone is looking for a good player/squad mate hit me up Psn: AznNavy
Ever since I played Red Faction: Guerilla, I've never been that impressed by the destruction in Battlefield. It's cool to see WW1 being taken on, and I was hoping for more because this seems like yet another reskin with some graphical tweaks. Verdun didn't cut it for me, it doesn't handle that well and runs pretty shit for me. If someone should've done WW1, I would have chosen Tripwire, but they're doing Vietnam so I am not complaining about that. And EA just killed Battlefield for me. It's been happening since BF3. I'm so fucking sick of all this DLC and Premium bullshit.. Great review as always, Karak!
DLC and expansions were already an tradition for Battlefield franchise since before its own by EA, however most people state that the most of it's DLC and expansions were worth buying because of the fun gameplay is.
I know. But the games are carved out way before release. "Get Premium to get all the shit". Wanna play as the French? Buy the DLC. Personally, I just had it years ago with EA.
Nice review mate, I love this game so much. I was playing the trial the other day, and a heavy tank turned the corner, I legitimately screamed in real life and ran away in game, so intense and immersive.
For me personally, it's also a huge bummer that they didn't make at least one faction of the Central Power playable. Their marketing was all about how there were no bad guys in this conflict, that we're all the same, yet showing the conflict from the side of say, germany or so was apparently too much to ask. What better way of showing that, if not by letting you experience it first hand? They went out of their way to make up some nonsense (There were no female fighters in Arabia), but couldn't be bothered with including a singleplayer campaign for the biggest players of WW1. Really respectful, DICE.
Your reviews are so amazing, I'm really surprised your channel hasn't become the main reviewer of games on UA-cam yet because for real you have no bias and analyze every aspect of a game
Dude I love your style and creative and humorous word choice when describing things "turn a soldier into a meteor by shooting him with the highest caliber tank round" ahaha good stuff, subbed 👍
This is one of the games that I was getting no matter what. That being said I love what you do, and this review was no different. Excellent job as always.
great review as always Mr karak. What surprised me the most is to hear that there's only 25 weapons in this game. im actually happy to hear that considering how much more difficult it gets to balance multiplayer as you add weapons. I miss the old battlefields where you picked your class and it didmt really have any customization to it. leveled the playing field perfectly.
Outstanding work as usual, a really complete analysis which proves that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. and btw you speak so fast that by listening to you I feel like I'm improving my language skills, thank you kindly and keep up the good work
Actually a lot of people have been reporting latency and performance issues on the multiplayer side, Including myself. These are people with 970 or 1060's oh are getting constant FPS drops, and game breaking sttuter on the awful servers. Its actually ran better in beta for me, so I'm not sure what's going on there. It might be fixed by now, but the few days ago I was playing it wasn't working very well. SP on the other hand runs fine.
ACG PC is a very variable thing. I heard some of them problems might have been fixed since I played it. I have it redownloaded since I had uninstalled because of how unplayable it was for me, so I'll see how it goes.
Works fine for me thus far, although I do have a 980ti, maybe these people have meh cpu's my cpu usage is pretty high with bf1 it's around 92% and thats with a 6600K so their cpu could definitely be the cause. As for network issues theres so many people connecting at once and the game is basically just out so thats probably why, not really excusable but understandable.
swag Lord Nah, from what I can tell most of them had i5's, and apparently a few people I saw reported that their CPU was hitting 100%. So the game is definitely a very variable experience for some.
You are currently the only channel I follow to stay updated on PC and console games and you are doing an extraordinary job at it! Also, you have taken the role of the go-to fountain of inspiration for my own channel. Thank you very much for the amazing work, keep doing what you're doing!
Excellent review, thanks for the straight skinny. I was already leaning towards picking this up, now definitely getting it tomorrow. Just looks too damn pretty AND fun.
Love your humor as always. The only one of these Modern Military Shooters I've ever bought was BF: Bad Company 2. I was disappointed by the campaign being so ultra short, about 6 hours, even though it was really fun while it lasted. Sad they did it again here too. BC2 had good MP when I played it. The different classes allowed for my newb skills to be usefull... being a medic rezing people within a few seconds of mad dash into the open where they were, then trying to take cover before getting new assault rifle created orifices, or being a sniper and marking enemies to let allies know where to fire before trying to give their skull a sunroof myself. If I was more into competitive multiplayer I'd buy this because it looks and sounds awesome. As it is, I don't play Chivalry: MW as much as I should. Maybe next time. Back to playing Shadow Warrior 2 where I've already logged 24 hours.
i echo his comment, a very well presented review. keep it up m8 :) on a side note, i've been watching some other review channels and while they are entertaining, they are very inconsistent with their facts, opinions, stance etc. i hope they watch your videos to learn how to create proper reviews.
Best BF game every. Easily, no question. Played them all and this one stands out the most. From the WW1 setting, to gunplay mechanics that beat out every other game to the absolutely stunning visuals to the best audio production of any other game. I've put more hours into this than any other BF game and that is why. I can also say that operations was great fun but never really took off. It has always been so hard to find servers for it in the oceania region. Conquest is still the king. The campaign stories were fun but definitely felt lacking content, there are so many other factions and stories I would have liked to see included.
Just got my copy today, really enjoying and they've really done what the war was like on how brutal it was. Changing characters every time you die at the start, some were only 18 years old. Didn't expect flying a pigeon lol
Question: Does the PC version support a dual control scheme? In other words Can use both Mouse+Keyboard for when on foot and can easily pick up a controller for when you're in a vehicle during the same match?
laidbackTap ya I played two matches quit both of them early and deleted the beta off my PlayStation what a waste of 19 GB can you believe that a beta that is more or almost the same size of other games. Cod I hope you guys learned from you opponents and actually listen to your fans.
the next one will be battlefield 0.5 and will contain wall hacks and flying tanks in 42 a.d. in ancient rome. And you can fight as historical heroes such as fucking george washington and Cesar
I really respect you for being an unbiased voice. You are one of the only reviewers I can actually tolerate and get accurate information from. Keep it up ;)
Who even votes down on these reviews? Another stellar and essential watch. I'll wait for a sale just because I really wanted a decent campaign. Cheers Karak :)
Wow how come I never heard of this guy?UA-cam recommended him and this is an awesome review.
Completely agree. Recommended to all of my gaming friends. Very Thorough and in depth review. Somewhat better than AngyJoe
Angry joe sucks, his reviews are always late, he only reviews a couple of games and his humor is extremely lame
originaldelta Welcome to the ACG family.
found him the same way man... just randomly one day... this guy keeps it simple and is Halairious while being very honest... I will recommend him to anyone looking for a good opinion on a game
Probably the best reviewer I've found.
Who the hell needs IGN, Gamespot... for reviews, they are rubbish compared with this guy reviews. Top job 😉👍
thanks brother
I remember subbing when you had around 20k. I feel like an OG.
you rock
ACG as do you.
Best reviewer in the game! Not even a competition.
thanks Alan
No problem, man. Just stating the facts. I'm curious, where did you learn all the technical game lingo? School? Or just from playing games for decades?
a bit of both.
ACG Interesting... Thanks for replying and for all the great content that you make. I heard another channel use "the bearded shaman of gamin" the other day. I wanted to kill them!
Inb4 people say "They didn't change the robotic announcer" there is an option for your teammates to scream it instead
teammates? how do you do that?
***** oh. i thought you meant there was an option to have the in game commentator be an AI voice from the side you were playing on (like in previous bf games). that would be much better imo
I didn't like the commentator at first, but she is starting to grow on me. I'm on PC, so hopefully, some creative programmers will create voice packs.
you know you could change the female voice to a male in the settings
Prem Tamu the male voice is worse
your usage of words is absolutely amazing, you should be the standard
thanks hope
Your disgustingly articulate reviews are intriguing, subscribed.
thanks sir
Hear hear
Watched a Gamespot review that praised the game throughout the entire video and didn't bring up a SINGLE negative thing. Been waiting for the real reviewers to make their videos on it. Thanks for this, ACG!
Ya just being honest that would be a complete and utter lie
BF1 is a must buy.
EllisD not really because it's just more of the same for me, I won't buy it because I never liked bf and I prefer csgo or arma or even cod
Czechu PL yet you want to buy COD
Radial9Gaming I don't mind which cod cuz they all the same xd
Czechu PL battlefield is the same as well bf1 is just a bf4 dlc with world at war guns new maps
+Radial9Gaming so what if he wants cod... Some people dont give a shit about bf1 get over it
Finally a good reviewer, (FYI, I love you analogues)
Also if you see this what specs does your computer have?
Ben Lane Read the description mate. he has his specs there
good to see your sub count is rising quickly, well overdue!
thanks pat
its the internet, people get offended all the time. not worth to delete your comment because of that.
Delete what? What are you talking about crazy person?
They cut out french and russian campaigns in the multiplayer to sell them to us later?? That´s almost as bad as cutting out space battles in Battlefront
HrTjernobyl
Remember, EA
Always enjoy your reviews. It amazes me how fast you get these out.
thanks man
This is my first video and I love the way you explain things
You earned a subscriber
Thanks.
Been loving your reviews ACG. I'll settle your channel next to Jim Sterling, Zero Punctuation, Angry Joe, Totalbiscuit and TFS Gaming as my "go to" stop for gaming videos and critique.
And yes, I'm allowed to like them all equally.

ACG Question, if you respond. Would you ever consider working with the aforementioned, or potentially being a guest on the podquisition or cooptional podcast? I feel like you'd make a great guest. Keep up the good work.
+Big Boss I have no issues with anyone. That being said those folks listed have been contacted inthe past with no response ever
ACG Ah, I see. Hope to see a collaborative piece in the future regardless. To be fair (and I'm not trying to blame you or generalize your fanbase in saying this), I see a lot of borderline evangelist comments trashing content creators while praising your name.

Call of Duty: World at War had the "War" game mode that is pretty much the one described. Which peaks my interest since that was my favorite Call of Duty game, and a really fun game type.
"...like you held onto the bong just a bit-too-long".

I often find myself being the only one protecting the objectives. I also hope they would ad endles rotation to operations so I don't have to find a new game every time it ends.
can't wait for Friday
Knowing EA, we won't be playing until Monday lol.
Shabir Ali I'm getting it tommorow :)
Steve Napierala that doesn't make since because a lot of us are already playing it.
By doing the Early Acces, then the Early Enlister, then the full launch they get to slowly bring the player levels on the servers.
Smart move on their part.
Steve Napierala thats what im curious about when he said stable connection. That might change when 75% of the player base gets on 😂
can't wait for today
Love how much actual information are in your reviews. This isn't a 60 second long video with a number pinned on the end of it, this is an actual in depth review of what works and what doesn't in the game. Keep up the great work.
appreciate that Sir
are you a writer? the way you talk, the diction and syntax are just wonderful.
Always appreciate these reviews.
thanks
For real. No bullshit.
"Decision juice from your brain space" lol.
:)
Game looks like a ton of fun but there's no way I'm picking a DICE game up at launch. I'll be sure to pick it up for $30-$40 in a few months
OfficerBananas as long as you get it haha
both hardline and bf4 were crapshoots.
its already 45 bucks on pc ( on certain sites ) and what i would do is just get it for Christmas. the only problem is that there is probably other games u want for Christmas like myself i want Civ 6 and the new South Park game both for Christmas.

Like how empty shells make different sounds based on what they land on. Or that your character will react differently when spotting an enemy player of the same class as he would any other class.
but the real question is.... how have they remedied the over over abundance of tanks and snipers?
by me killing them in the face. The remedy is in better players
ACG ok thanks. that was my only complaint in the beta so I guess I will just have to "git gud" then haha.
antisnipe snipers, plan your attack, and keep trying. I got ROLLED like a sumbitch for the first 4 hours. And then just rethought what I was doing. Flank, work with a teamate. That kind of thing
ACG all right. I will be defiantly buying it tonight so this will come in handy. Love the reviews, Thanks!!!
Erik Musta tanks are supposed to be scary, at the same time you must know how to take them out, with the right it's possible. Easy peasy.
I was on the bench for this game but I guess I'll give it a chance.
Fantastic review, as always! I will definitely get to this at some point. Probably at a nice discount.
its already 45 bucks on pc ( on certain sites ) and what i would do is just get it for Christmas that way ur not spending any of your money on it hehehe.
At a nice discount....... AT a nice discount..........AT A NICE DISCOUNT!!!!!!
"Triggerd"
its 40 on origin now
Astral Frost I got it for $30 at best buy
Fastest, most in-depth reviews for brand new games that are just released. I don't know how other review channels stay relevant.

thanks man
love this dudes vocabulary lol
thanks
My pc broke and now im forced to play it on my xbox in glorious 700p
its actually above that
Wait really? Do you know what it is? Cause when i looked on google thats what it told me
did you watch the review...
Well i posted this when i started watching...but i see your point lol
Does the dynamic resolution kick in much on the ps4? Is it close to 1080p or 900p?
Hey Karak you're truly one of a kind game reviewer here on youtube, really love the constant quality content! keep up the great work bearded shamin' of gamin'!
thanks man. Tell others if you can
We expecting any coverage on anything from PSVR? Never been upset with anything I've purchased based on your reviews in the past and since I've got a PSVR on the way it'd be great to see some of your opinions. Be good to see an honest review for some of these games that aren't just payed for by Sony.
sure
Best multiplayer game I've ever played, more fun than I had back in the day drinking beers with my friends playing 4 player Golden eye on the N64, thats how much I enjoy this game.
Rick West Is it really that good thinking about buying it for $10?
this game is absolutely amazing. anyone who talks shit on it probably took one too many bayonets to the back.
Bruce Wayne Even the cod players get into the game, they're not effect the fun and gameplay in multiplayer, as they're slowly getting know how to play the game.
Bruce Wayne I agree but also disagree
"Bayonets to the back" haha!
Or they might have you know... an opinion
installing bf1 right now, cant wait to jump in! Thanks for the informative review.
***** Settledown Tron.
TRON do you like cod?
Lol he deletes his comments
Im Worth A Dolla nope
*Cory in the closet* lol
Operations is just rush without mcoms if i understand it correctly. Its also the main gametype in Red orchestra 2 so nothing new there.
Ok well then they are all DM if boiled down too. But we dont get that strict
ACG well obviously a fps is about shooting each other so im not going to argue that. operations is the exact same thing as rush though.
ACG dont get me wrong, im gonna get bf1 first thing on friday. Just gonna play conquest all day long :]
I guess if we ignore stuff it is. But by then its also assault from unreal 1999. By then its a reductionist nightmare
ACG Agreed.
Wow, I've avoided anything EA since BF4. Perhaps its time to give them another chance.
***** Yeah I won't be buying it any time soon, I might not buy it at all but I'm open to the possibility. Hell my old rig needs more RAM first anyway.
you're missing out because it's amazing
You're missing out its true well deserve hype, guess you are never look at its gameplay.
Battlefield should be the only EA games you buy.
I did the same I skipped bf4 completely I can say with confidence you will not be disappointed with bf1
Nice work as usual.
Battlefield games generally aren't my thing since not enough friends play them for the purchase. But nice to hear about what they did right and the weaknesses.
You have a good point ! BF is waaaay better when u play with friends , but i believe you can make friends from the BF community to play with
John Wayne
Well normally I think one would consider co-op to be pretty important...in a co-op focused game.
Blue Rain01
Solid point there.
FlareKnight If you got friends to squad up, it can almost give you that co op feel to it.
I'm a COD fanboy... let me restate I was a COD fanboy. I am proud to make BF1 my 2nd BF purchase and I am sold. COD really screwed the pooch with Infinite Warfare. It's MP isn't as good as BO3 and that is not good.
I will suggest every casual gamer I know to buy BF1 over COD... for the first time ever. This was perfect . Thank you, DICE for realizing what fans wanted. Thank for not giving us Space Warfare.
Bob Jeff U have no idea ;-)
Jack S you can't really blame iw for the game because they were in development when the community liked bo3. They can't just change the whole theme of the game if the community changes their mind with less than a year until release
mdima1234 To be honest this IW is a bunch of B list game makers. The last IW game that had some of the original members was MW3.
After MW3, the rest of the original IW team left and now u have a bunch of new people under the banner of the same team that made the best COD games ever.
blame the game designers
Dude i have not heard people use "screwed the pooch" in a long time
Holy crap man, I watched so many game reviews in my life, but I've never really enjoyed them until I started watching your videos. Your method of delivery is both informative and entertaining. I don't know how much effort are you putting into making of these videos, but it is working just fine.
Thanks Angel really appreciate it
I've been utterly fascinated about WW1 History for years, sadly i don't have anything that would run this. But if this make more people want to learn more abut the Conflict that's great stuff.
And great review man.
No its just a game
MM-528_HZ yes
Maybe check out Verdun and see if you can meat the requirements, it won't be as fast as BF1 but It does offer a nice attack/counter attack trench warfare system, it has a level progression in it which I feel slightly affects gameplay but that will iron out as you commit a little time and unlock what you need.
It's something along the lines of Red orchestra 2 just during The Great War right? think I've seen some gameplay videos of it. If so i'll probably love it ;)
Important question: Do you get to play as the Germans in the campaign?
You fight them... and they will say shit in German for real
Markus I've played through all the early access campaign and no you only play as a brit, but i haven't finished the campaign so don't know for sure
As a German its pretty sick to play the game in english and hear REAL GERMAN VOICES without bad accents. They actually hired real germans to make the voices. Pretty good
I had my hopes up because apparently one of the mission names sounds like it could be played from a German perspective. If not, that would be a goddamn shame. Also there was no "evil" faction in WW1, everybody was just as bad or good. So fighting only Germans, once again (sigh)...,doesn't make sense at all.
British (tank), Australian(messenger), Italian(armor suit), Canadian(pilot), American(Hellfighter), and Arab are the types of single player characters you play as. I may forgotten a few.
How the hell have i never come across this channel?!!! Excellent review. Subscribed!!!
Thaks Al. Please tell others
ACG Absolutely.
great review! I'm actually not working a midnight release for once so I can't wait for 1201 to hit tonight so I can jump in with my friends and try the Operations mode!!!!
That was actually a really awesome fair review. You didn't hesitate to give the game some fair critiques that it deserved, all while at the same time making sure to point out the great aspects of the game. By far the best game reviewer on youtube.
thanks man
So Operations is basically the main gameplay of Verdun done by DICE?
It's more like Red Orchestra 2's gameplay
boiiiiii you're dumb
Alexander de Montfort actually soon they will bring hardcore and classic modes ...don't let one review cloud your decision ...they also have operations which is a rush type of mode
Yeah operations is better rush than rush
its the same thing than assault in Battlefront
Another solid review, Karak. Love your straight-shooting style; you really can't get that anywhere else, so I make it a point to watch all of your reviews before buying a game. Thanks!
thanks
Hi Karak, amazing reviews as always keep up the awesome job, best reviewer ever!
I played Battlefield 3 a little before Battlefield 4's release and then I bought Battlefield 4. I've been playing BF4 for the past 3 years and I couldn't find an fps to beat it (except idk, CSGO) so when I heard that Battlefield was going back in time, I was hyped. I played the beta and was pleasantly surprised and in a state of wanting more. Now that the release date is within days, I'm literally suffering through the wait. If only I had bought the Deluxe Edition!
If anyone is looking for a good player/squad mate hit me up
Psn: AznNavy
Bf3 is much better than cs go
MM-528_HZ fuck the early enlister, literally only 10$ less if you wait a week
Lol
MM-528_HZ lol that's cute
Ryan Dandaraw what?
Ever since I played Red Faction: Guerilla, I've never been that impressed by the destruction in Battlefield. It's cool to see WW1 being taken on, and I was hoping for more because this seems like yet another reskin with some graphical tweaks. Verdun didn't cut it for me, it doesn't handle that well and runs pretty shit for me. If someone should've done WW1, I would have chosen Tripwire, but they're doing Vietnam so I am not complaining about that.
And EA just killed Battlefield for me. It's been happening since BF3. I'm so fucking sick of all this DLC and Premium bullshit..
Great review as always, Karak!
you couldn't be more wrong
timothy alphonse explain why you think his opinion is shit for us please
Alexander Dinesen the destruction in bf1 is way better than red faction gurellia
DLC and expansions were already an tradition for Battlefield franchise since before its own by EA, however most people state that the most of it's DLC and expansions were worth buying because of the fun gameplay is.
I know. But the games are carved out way before release. "Get Premium to get all the shit". Wanna play as the French? Buy the DLC. Personally, I just had it years ago with EA.
"Like you held on to the bong just a bit too long" 😂 1:10
its a bit true though lol
Nice review mate, I love this game so much. I was playing the trial the other day, and a heavy tank turned the corner, I legitimately screamed in real life and ran away in game, so intense and immersive.
thanks
Best gaming review channel! Thank you for all the hard work you do!
appreciate that
They have black troops on the western front but not French ones. Well done Dice, well done..
French are in the first DLC but I feel ya
For me personally, it's also a huge bummer that they didn't make at least one faction of the Central Power playable. Their marketing was all about how there were no bad guys in this conflict, that we're all the same, yet showing the conflict from the side of say, germany or so was apparently too much to ask.
What better way of showing that, if not by letting you experience it first hand?
They went out of their way to make up some nonsense (There were no female fighters in Arabia), but couldn't be bothered with including a singleplayer campaign for the biggest players of WW1. Really respectful, DICE.
Arthur Wild there were females fighter in arabia
16893 boi Proof please.
Arden Dro Pretty much. Having Indian troops on the Brit side is accurate; black Germans are not.
Your reviews are so amazing, I'm really surprised your channel hasn't become the main reviewer of games on UA-cam yet because for real you have no bias and analyze every aspect of a game
thanks man tell others PLEASE
Dude I love your style and creative and humorous word choice when describing things "turn a soldier into a meteor by shooting him with the highest caliber tank round" ahaha good stuff, subbed 👍
thanks man
Thanks ACG for making this video a few days before the game comes out your awesome!
yep!@
This is one of the games that I was getting no matter what. That being said I love what you do, and this review was no different. Excellent job as always.
enjoy brother
Excellent review! You cover all aspects of the game cogently and comprehensively,.
Subscribed!
thanks
great review as always Mr karak. What surprised me the most is to hear that there's only 25 weapons in this game. im actually happy to hear that considering how much more difficult it gets to balance multiplayer as you add weapons. I miss the old battlefields where you picked your class and it didmt really have any customization to it. leveled the playing field perfectly.
Outstanding work as usual, a really complete analysis which proves that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. and btw you speak so fast that by listening to you I feel like I'm improving my language skills, thank you kindly and keep up the good work
thanks sir
"as you get ready to drain someone's decision juice from their brainspace" I fucking love it. Subbed.
lol thanks for subbing
damn man, your vids are great, perfect rating system and zero waffle, subbed!
thanks man
Actually a lot of people have been reporting latency and performance issues on the multiplayer side, Including myself. These are people with 970 or 1060's oh are getting constant FPS drops, and game breaking sttuter on the awful servers. Its actually ran better in beta for me, so I'm not sure what's going on there. It might be fixed by now, but the few days ago I was playing it wasn't working very well. SP on the other hand runs fine.
+14supersonic too bad man. We had over 3.000 posting about it and 0 issue s
ACG PC is a very variable thing. I heard some of them problems might have been fixed since I played it. I have it redownloaded since I had uninstalled because of how unplayable it was for me, so I'll see how it goes.
Works fine for me thus far, although I do have a 980ti, maybe these people have meh cpu's my cpu usage is pretty high with bf1 it's around 92% and thats with a 6600K so their cpu could definitely be the cause. As for network issues theres so many people connecting at once and the game is basically just out so thats probably why, not really excusable but understandable.
swag Lord Nah, from what I can tell most of them had i5's, and apparently a few people I saw reported that their CPU was hitting 100%. So the game is definitely a very variable experience for some.
14supersonic uhm...exactly thats why I posted the info
You are currently the only channel I follow to stay updated on PC and console games and you are doing an extraordinary job at it! Also, you have taken the role of the go-to fountain of inspiration for my own channel. Thank you very much for the amazing work, keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks! Haven't played an online shooter since BF4 so it's been a couple years but you convinced me it's safe to jump in.
you bet
Excellent review, thanks for the straight skinny. I was already leaning towards picking this up, now definitely getting it tomorrow. Just looks too damn pretty AND fun.
thanks brother
Operations is awesome, but the when the attacking team gets the behemoth, holy shit they get a MASSIVE advantage
lol
Best game reviewer hands down. Even if I am not interested in the game I still watch the review.....funny bugger!
appreciate that red
Love your humor as always.
The only one of these Modern Military Shooters I've ever bought was BF: Bad Company 2. I was disappointed by the campaign being so ultra short, about 6 hours, even though it was really fun while it lasted. Sad they did it again here too. BC2 had good MP when I played it. The different classes allowed for my newb skills to be usefull... being a medic rezing people within a few seconds of mad dash into the open where they were, then trying to take cover before getting new assault rifle created orifices, or being a sniper and marking enemies to let allies know where to fire before trying to give their skull a sunroof myself.
If I was more into competitive multiplayer I'd buy this because it looks and sounds awesome. As it is, I don't play Chivalry: MW as much as I should. Maybe next time. Back to playing Shadow Warrior 2 where I've already logged 24 hours.
appreciate that
Great review! I subbed when you had 20k now you hit 100k! First off, nice job. Second, you've become my go to reviewer! Awesome videos.
you rock Austin.
I've been waiting for your review before I watched anyone else's.
it is now complete
love your review style keep it up mate!! fed up with shitty ign type reviews
thanks man
i echo his comment, a very well presented review. keep it up m8 :)
on a side note, i've been watching some other review channels and while they are entertaining, they are very inconsistent with their facts, opinions, stance etc. i hope they watch your videos to learn how to create proper reviews.
thanks sir
You, sir, are the only reviewer i trust now a days. keep up the good work
thanks!
Best BF game every. Easily, no question. Played them all and this one stands out the most. From the WW1 setting, to gunplay mechanics that beat out every other game to the absolutely stunning visuals to the best audio production of any other game. I've put more hours into this than any other BF game and that is why. I can also say that operations was great fun but never really took off. It has always been so hard to find servers for it in the oceania region. Conquest is still the king. The campaign stories were fun but definitely felt lacking content, there are so many other factions and stories I would have liked to see included.
Just got my copy today, really enjoying and they've really done what the war was like on how brutal it was. Changing characters every time you die at the start, some were only 18 years old. Didn't expect flying a pigeon lol
Question: Does the PC version support a dual control scheme?
In other words Can use both Mouse+Keyboard for when on foot and can easily pick up a controller for when you're in a vehicle during the same match?
TheDuckClock yes I have been playing that way
from what I remember from the beta some people used keyboard for foot and controller for airplanes in the same match. So basically yes
I believe so
thx guys
yep, been doing that in beta as well. M&K on foot, controller when tanking :)
see u on the battlefield
I played 10 mins of the call of duty infinite warfare beta and got right off to play this game this game is more fun
laidbackTap ya I played two matches quit both of them early and deleted the beta off my PlayStation what a waste of 19 GB can you believe that a beta that is more or almost the same size of other games. Cod I hope you guys learned from you opponents and actually listen to your fans.
***** nice exaggeration dummy its realistic all you have to do is play the objective
More like Battlefield 5? Nah, more like Battlefield 15
ABagOfIce You were close, it's 16! :D
16*
+missael lombera 16?
the next one will be battlefield 0.5 and will contain wall hacks and flying tanks in 42 a.d. in ancient rome. And you can fight as historical heroes such as fucking george washington and Cesar
X Tabell No sarcasm. That sounds like the best fucking game ever.
Love the obvious time and effort you put into the reviews. Well done.
thanks so much Jonie
Kind of a fresh review compared to other reviewers I've been watching. Keep it up. Shared this on FB to balance out the others.
my sincere thanks
what's it like having such a sick beard
He probably puts some tonic on it, so it doesn't get sick.👀👯
It's like an old man.
I love your review style! I feel like I can really trust a recommendation from ACG because you're actually thorough.
thanks!
Awesome! How would you rate this story mode compared to bf4 and 3 ?
Braixen Fox it looks better than both IMO
MUUUCCCH better
Braixen Fox just finished 3 of the war stories and they are far better than any story I. Battlefield
Thanks guys! I guess Im gona have a blast playing the story mode this time, even if it's short I still feel it's gona be an emotional and epic ride.
J. Kol34 Do you play as the Germans???
Been looking forward to this review from u. Wasn't disappointed. Another great review.
First time watching one of your reviews. It was excellent. Very fair and tons of info.
thanks
Seems like theyve learnt from Battlefront. And thats why im gonna buy it.
Im thinking about it. Someone mentioned the pay to play dlc additional costs and what not. IS that actually a concern
Fantastic review! You've just earned yourself a new fan.
appreciate that
Great review! Can't believe I've never seen your reviews. This game looks fucking sweet btw. Really feel like they breathed new life into Battlefield.
my thanks man
I really respect you for being an unbiased voice. You are one of the only reviewers I can actually tolerate and get accurate information from. Keep it up ;)
Love your no BS reviews. Greatly detailed and very informative. Thanks. SUBSCRIBED!!
Great review. Just subscribed. any advice for a player completely new to Battlefield?
thanks for subbing man. Ya if a sniper, only shoot from 1 spot a couple times then RUN
Thanks for the advice dude...lookout for a really bad sniper missing a couple of shots from one spot then running away giggling like Homer Simpson
Who even votes down on these reviews? Another stellar and essential watch. I'll wait for a sale just because I really wanted a decent campaign. Cheers Karak :)
lol thanks dave
