And Battlefield V is like realising that that light at he end of a tunnel is actually train heading your way at full speed
Such a shame to, I figured it would be a BF1 copy n paste but they found a way to ruin it. Not releasing things chronologically, shying away from the historical battles, and doing an overall terrible job of projecting the bloodiest and most costly war in human history. It would've been amazing going through the Ardennes and into France in an operation or campaign. Same for the start of Barbarossa. Epic tank battles for Kursk, or the endless hedge rows of Normandy. All the way to the Rhine and eventually the heart of Berlin. So much could've been done. Battlefield V could've been a golden goose until the next gen had they done it right.
But no, they were too worried about glorifying Germany and making the game accessible to women. They could've easily just added the Night Witches and female Russian snipers but that's not PC enough. They tried to change history for the sake of Söderlund not being able to tell his child the truth of the war. Women played an integral part of WW2, just not always in battle. If he wanted to glorify women in war for the sake of his daughter then maybe he should've just made a modern warfare game. That could've had all the glorification of a female character he wanted in it. She could've ramboed the entire Russian and Chinese army for all I care.
Just don't mess with what we already know as fact and try to pass it off as sexism or bigotry because we won't accept his fantasy feel good world. I hope he's genuinely learned from his stupidity.
@@mindfreak078589 it also runs like shit
BF needs more stories from soldiers on different sides if it's portraying the world war. I wanted to play as the french.
Should have add Japanese campaign to show how bad they did in the Pacific.
i disagree. for all its faults i think it adds a lot of good changes to the multiplayer. the gunplay is excellent.
"Campers vs Bullrushers" no I'm pretty sure they nailed WW1 with that aspect
Idc if your comment is old, it's still fantastic
where the goal of each push is to make your frontline 6 inches closer to the objective
Well, historical accuracy doesn't equal fun gameplay.
And at that point you have to ask if WW1 was fun.

waVe64 then what’s the point of the historical setting? What’s the point Of historical technology? I don’t find super slow vehicles fun but it’s what was the standard in the First World War, I’ll never understand this weird argument that historical accuracy is arbitrarily too strict

Just like WWI.
Quite honestly, I found this very historically accurate.
It also means that with enemies cramped up into a smaller space, they're far more accesible by grenades and AT guns.
To be honest I found these situations to be fun as fuck.
I enjoy his critiques and praises of games but this critique I feel is misguided. It’s a ww1 game. Did generals and elites not push hundreds of thousands of men to their deaths in single battles to capture literal meters of territory?

I feel bad for Joseph Anderson dying in that tank @ 8:24. He was a great UA-camr.
Wyzzlex was?
Was looking forward to his Ringed City analysis too. Truly, a Bad War.
gonna miss him :(
What a shame.
He was a good man; What a rotten way to die.
Deus Ex references are among the greatest.
I wish the prologue for this game would switch between the two sides instead of just sticking with the "good guys".
Same, I found the good vs evil trope to be particularly strange in the final campaign. I don't think a WWI story should be reminding me of Avatar and Dances with Wolves.
This game had the potential to send a really powerful message that could make it incredibly memorable but instead it feels like one guy wanted to make a good story and moral and everyone else wanted a copy paste god shooter (i.e. easy money).
Another missed opportunity is an online "trench mode" or something that would be try to be 100% realistic with you defending trenches and slowly moving up the battlefield. No hud or healing as well. I think that would've been pretty cool.
Yeah like in WW2 they were really bad guys but in WW1 they were just fighting like Russia our Britain
Well the Germans once did massacre a whole small village a few hundred Belgium kids and women. This was in WW1.
and the British specifically fire bombed hundreds of thousands of German women and children with glee in WW2. Your point? @@articcenturion8387
Dope video as always, bro! You definitely can change the outcome of an operation on your own, but more importantly as a squad. There are many times where I've taken a whole point by myself, or snuck in behind enemy lines then had my 5 man squad spawn in on me to attack the objective. There were times where a single enemy plane was able to rack up 60+ kills because he kept bombing us on the objectives.
It's not about being able to One-Man-Army the entire team and win the match singlehandedly, but moreso in smaller victories like destroying a tank that's pestering your team, using a horse to flank the enemy snipers to give your frontline infantry some breathing room. Or reviving your teammates, these smaller victories can lead to greater success overall, and that's what makes the multiplayer feel so rewarding, as there are opportunites for every class and vehicle to make an impact on the outcome of the match.
As far as campaign goes, they definitely should've made the War Stories longer, would've given players more time to empathize and more time to flesh out the unique perspectives of WWI. For me, I was able to have fun with the campaign just because of the setting & time period, it's not an innovative or even original type of gameplay, but the setting of WWI is what makes it interesting to me personally.
Good shit, dude. Keep it up!

One of the most underappreciated shooters of all time. Scorch pilot for life.
Thank you for pointing out the issues of poor AI work & the "superhero" gameplay trope. There's a reason why people gravitated to games such as Dark Souls, as cliche as it sounds.
Human beings need to be challenged. It's fine to turn your brain off every so often but in a game about war, I need my enemies to be as good or better. Whether it's strategically or simply in weaponry. I need my victory to be earned, not given.
Another excellent video man.
The common denominator is what AAA games strive for. Its the masses they want to please, thats why indie and B games are the only ones doing different things and not just going the safe route.
Core Ideas And whose fault is it if the enemy team sucks?
The devs for not programming decent AI.
SHRED: Setting isnt the prevalent matter at hand, Im speaking about tone, feeling, gameplay. It can be any setting its still the same safe play.
Core Ideas You summed up how I feel about Battlefield 1 exactly. I love the game and it's fun to turn my brain off and dump lead into Germans for 2-3 hours but after that I feel like I'm not being challenged and I burn out. 90% of deaths in BF1 I feel like I could have avoided had I not made a simple mistake which would have never happened if I was seriously in try hard mode. BF1 is just a fun console couch game, but after a while I feel the urge to play something more challenging and rewarding like Rainbow Six Siege or Overwatch
no shooter will ever match the feeling i had when i first played planetside 2 and saw a column of tanks heading out from the base with hundreds of people yomping along with them.
highlandrab19 Too bad that game just devolves into massive spawn rapes.
highlandrab19 I actually still play planetside, the game is going down fast sadly and the devs don't seem to care as much, you can still see massive tank columns and air raids rather frequently though
I went back a while ago and was playing on esamir but for some reason the game kept trying to deploy me to hossin? anyway esamir was empty so i went to hossin and found a a mess of trees and impassable terrain that was nearly empty. the whole time i had just wanted to play on indar to try and recapture those feels but for some reason that continent was locked
Awesome! that's kind of a retarded thing to say considering you're not forced to spawn anywhere
no but it is a nuisance to be shown a different continent everytime you open the map and have quick deploy want to take you there too
I miss this game. Especially the dlc, they had some of the best maps and at least this felt like a war..

So they made Battlefield 1 fast paced but set in a war where people were told to walk, not run and to stand in trenches all day?
Should've been a WWII game. It feels like one, but in an out-of-place setting
Brit'N'Birb In the deserts, and jungles, and some scenarios like trench takeovers, or the Drachenhohle we're very intense and fast paced, not all of it was slow trench fighting smh.
Brit'N'Birb to be fair the walking stopped pretty early on and during the mid to later portions of the war (when this game takes place) people were either sneaking or running towards the other trenches.
Brit'N'Birb they chose fun over realism in which i agree
should have been a WW2 game?? Im sorry but Im kinda sick of seeing the same Garand, STG and Mp-40. seeing weapons like the Lewis Gun, Trench Clubs and all the experimental Pre-War Weapons was a breath of fresh air. WW2 is done to death. leave that to Wolfenstein and the old Battlefields.
"To bring a toy soilder set to life." Man, that was good.
I truly love how I come to a video of yours and learn about the history of these games, not just a review of them. I thank you so much for that as it is a nice touch to not only be entertained, but learn about all these different backgrounds of games. This is why I will always support this kind of content as it is not just a game review, but feels like a history lesson that could be archived for others to learn from.
I know I do not provide much criticism, as an engineer seeing all these types of videos seem so well made that I do not know how to point out any flaws in editing, writing, or well anything lol Hopefully with enough comparison of other content I can bring some criticism that can help you become better instead of me always just saying how awesome the videos are lol I do have to say though that your latest videos have had some really good background music that fit the narrative of the video so well that I would love to keep seeing /hearing that.
oh before I forget, about the question channel on discord.... I do apologize.... but its only going to get worse! lol

Was my favourite game for 5 years before I discovered Hell Let Loose recently. Will never forget Battlefield 1 and the impact it had on my life.
I feel like one of those bitter old men who see all the new technology and decide instead to go back to the classic ways of the 70's or 80's. Except the new tech is BF1 and the classic ways are BF3 and BF4
For me the good old days is BC2.
raycevick, talk about the cod zombies series. I know it's technically a game mode of the more large and toxic cod, but treyarch has really created something truly amazing that has not gotten enough of the love it deserved because people don't enjoy cod and overlook it's intricacies. I saw your comment on Jr.Rizzos video, so I do know you played black ops 1 at least, but with the sheer detail, amount of things to do and story, it's worth getting into as an outsider
Jmplaza 21 the story only got dumb in black ops 2/3.
Jmplaza 21 The story was pretty good in Waw and Bo1. Bo2 made it confusing and Bo3 was clearly running out of ideas considering all these important characters are just now being introduced into a story that's basically over. But at least we got the full timeline
TheJRMproductions wait there was a story to tht mode?

Always top-notch and AWESOME videos - Thanks for keeping them coming!
Fantastic review, you always know you're going to get a quality video on this channel.
Great video but I disagree with only one thing. Your constant agenda of "Battlefield was close to dying"... Bruh I don't think you understand what "dying" actually means. Sure, Battlefield 4 sold less than Battlefield 3 but it still sold over 15 million copies over all platforms and still sold 5 million Premium Passes. Not to mention Battlefield 4 was the most played FPS on the market behind CSGO, Overwatch and BO3. And that was 2 years after it's launch. I mean if you call that dying I really don't know what to say to you. Just like COD and CS, this is one of those franchises that it's just very very very hard to die.
It's the same as the people thinking that COD was dead with Infinite Warfare. As much as I dislike COD for the countless of terrible things it did... it was the most idiotic thing ever to push the agenda that COD was dying.
Selling less copies but still MILLIONS is not dying. By any means. Let alone when you sell 15 million copies lol. Other than that glad you enjoy the game and that you finally gave it a shot.
Jove89 I think he meant dying in terms of reputation, which it was. Similar to how CoD is now. That sells better then any game on the market, despite being the butt of every joke.
In my research I never came across a post that confirmed 15 million copies sold for BF4. The number I kept running into was 7 million, less than half of BF3's 15 million. With Hardline's multiplayer dying within months of being released (at least on PC), the series was quickly on its course to going under. A game can sell MILLIONS and still be considered a failure if the franchise is not living up to the publishers expectations, which 4 & Hardline according to the data I saw, was not. But I'm all for being corrected if this information is wrong.
Jove89"most played behind csgo except that about 40 people ever played csgo, if you can define them people

Amazing video as always. Thanks.
If I had a dollar for every time you mention Metal Gear Solid.
I actually think BF4 (in its current state), is a better, more balanced, and content rich game, than BF1. I found the campaign of BF1 to be a joke, and the mp didn't hold my interest for as long as BF4 did.
Yes I agree the bf1 multiplayer is fun at first but gets old very fast.
Well I mean battlefield 4 is out for so long that it got mostly balanced out and alle the dlc dropped, just wait till bf1 is finished and all the people will say good things about bf1 when the next Battlefield game releases.
***** I found BF4 campaign to a be joke also. However, in BF4, Dice didn't recycle conquest maps for missions.
Jmplaza 21 Battlefield 1, to me feels dumbed down compared to BF4.
MrReyno Tanks I total agree but bf4 has fully matured. I find current bf4 more enjoyable than current bf1. We still have to wait for bf1 to mature as well although, I feel that bf4 will still feel better than a fully matured bf1
The way you make your videos... even tho it's about a game your videos tell a story of its own while telling the games story. The photos you show correlate with what you're saying but tell a story. And the way you talk also correlates with what the mood should be. You are an impeccable UA-camr.
I really love this guy. You do extremely good reviews man. Keep it up.
The mood that truely made BF1 was Frontlines before the update. You could play one map for hours. Pushing and falling back numerous times with no time limit. I miss those days
15:28 You are so true. As a Turkish person I must say in The Runner and Nothing is Written Ottoman army is not that weak. We fucking hold the Biritish Army in Gallipoli
Awesome video. Thanks for that.
This is such a high quality review, never seen anything like this before. I agree with you on all the points.
this is your first play through, trust me the lack of depth becomes apparent, yes the game is the best looking and the physics are amazing and it did put COD to shame, however i still turn back to BF4
The physics aren't good at all. Look at planes when they crash.
KUSHTEA Turn back to BF4? But what about BF3?
fan9775 the canals map (I forgot its name) is the worst conquest map in my opinion since if you spawn on the ship, you can’t leave because there’s always an enemy helicopter flying around killing anybody that tries to leave
Indeed, BF4 has alot more depth and interesting gameplay compared to BF1, it looks and plays nice but i got bored of it after 50 hours.
BF3 for life! Crappy terrain collision, crappy vehicle hitboxes, beyond buggy physics, horrible resolution and igla/stringer garbage aside, I still play it to this day.

Ryland Barton same I moved when overwatch came to my life
I never did understand what's so fun about overwatch... I've always seen it as an arcade shooter, and the only arcade shooter I would play is halo 5, because I can build my own maps.
THE POWWWERRR Haha, how can you not understand it, or the appeal? It's similar to Team Fortress. Haven't you played that game? Characters, that are class-based, have different weapons and abilities and basically the battlefield turns into a royal rumble of everyones different character choices and skill levels playing out. It's a blast.
It's just not my favorite game. It's ok (for me) just not my favorite. I'm more into games like mechwarrior: online, if we're being futuristic, and warthunder is a close second, being WWII. Mechwarrior: online, I recommend, unless you don't like operating a giant robot.
And who doesn't like operating a giant robot?
Battlefield 1 was a pulse... and Battlefield 5 was a heart attack.
And 2042 was the flatline
This is like the first channel where I've watched every single upload. Thanks again Raycevick
You made smile when you brought up F.E.A.R.. I miss that game so much. The first and second parts were the only good ones but it was so good. The story had me going and the action and sense of need to survive was beautiful.
Battlefield hardline could have really stuck out of the crowd if perhaps they took the Cops and Robbers concept and ran with it completely instead of half assing it. They removed tanks and attack helicopters, but kept the high-tech IRNV FLIR MLG KFC sights and ubiquity of hand grenades which doesn’t make sense.
They perhaps could have removed long guns such as assault rifles or shotguns and instead made your primary gun a hand-gun, likely making up for it findable weapons like BF4 but more common and grabbable by multiple people.
Also, adding the arrest system to multiplayer would be pretty neat. One of your gadgets could be handcuffs that could “finish off” revivable enemies and be a quicker melee animation and both would provide extra points or maybe unlock certain things.
Obviously I’m not providing many suggestions to fix it, but that’s the job of the multi billion dollar game companies who sell numerous micro-transactions and then smuggle an incredible amount of money in to offshore tax havens.
Battlefield V only made me physically sick because this was my game of the year when it dropped

Between Infinite Warfare, Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.... Titanfall 2 has the best movement system by far.
different types of shooters but I still agree
They aren’t really comparable, CoD and Battlefield are normal shooters, but Titanfall 2 is a movement shooter. Extremely fast paced gameplay and with giant mechs. There’s a big difference from Titanfall to CoD IW.

Thanks! For this video, it's on PC.
I disagree with your point about bf4's unlock system. After putting 200+ hours into bf4 I still had weapons to unlock, and it gave me a reason to keep coming back to the game, whereas in bf1 I have put 40 hours into the game and have already unlocked all but 3 guns in the game. Every weapon in bf1 feels samey, and not rewarding. The weapon diversity in bf4 was one of its strong points in my opinion, because at the end of the games life, dice managed to balance most of them, and most people use different weapons, instead of the hellriegel being the best sniper, shotgun, assault weapon, LMG, and everything else.
There's a middle ground that I think Bad Company and BF3 hit closer to. BF4 is bloated as fuck with unnecessary guns, while BF1 has a pathetic selection and a dumb "variant" system.
Rian Mach vehiclefield 4
I remember the AEK-971 spam. I once had a match where every players was literally using the gun! Talk about weapon diversity.
Miko Like BF1 is any better
Miko one game in BF1 it's all games
We were neck and neck with the enemy in fao fortress. This was operations and the final point to take was obj E inside the fortress. I new that we were going to lose if that obj was not cleared quick. We had a min left and I immediately was able to spawn into st chamond tank. I rushed it into obj and immediately called a airstrike. As 30 secounds counted down I saw almost all the enemy’s die around me in a hail of my artillery strike. I died, but as I zoomed out I saw tons of my teammates that were at a stand still rush into the obj and take it over while the clock was at 10 sec. one of my favorite memories playing ANY multiplayer games. I have so many more.
There's so many great and epic things that happen like that in BF1! Such a damn good game!
Nice man, you have earned my sub.
Good video. Really enjoyed it.
I am a little surprised you didn't go more into Battlefield 1's multiplayer. I like that they tried to make the multiplayer less about unlocks, but I don't think they made up for it with enough depth. It lacks a feeling of progression, which is very important to keep people coming back to a multiplayer game. Progression isn't just about unlocks or xp, it's also about skill and a sense of reward. In that regard, I feel that at least right now, Battlefield 1 is kind of shallow.
FPS titles shouldn't be about unlocks. It's about gun play, and BF1 does a pretty good job with it. Guns will more or less be effective at a certain range so you have to set up your engagement distances wisely. I feel like FPS players expect sick customization and an insane progression system but that really isn't what it's all about.
Miko I agree with many of those things, but a sense of progression is important. It's not really even a leveling system either, it's becoming more skilled and gaining more experience. It's getting rewarded for your effort (as said previously, gaining more skill is an example). BF1 just sort of lacks this in some regards.
For me a major issue if variety, each class has a few guns, and then they are designed for certain situations, it just kinda isn't interesting to me.
Raycevick,
I can't say I agree with how positive this review was with regards to the multiplayer. With regards to the weapons, I understand that the previous titles can feel bloated with unlocks but the truth is that they expand the sandbox for one thing, and they give players something to chase after which tries to keep this extremely repetitive game from getting stale, I don't see how that's negative. As it is in BF1, the smaller weapon pool seems as if there are 'correct' choices as to the best weapons, and the lack of attachments and horrendous UI make it discouraging to try to experiment with different weapons. I have put many hours into the game and I still just use the starting guns for the most part. And your comment about this games movement seemed a bit odd as well. While I agree that battlefield's movement is much more liberating than any generic 'realistic' shooter crap, it is extremely buggy and calling it "perfection" while games like Titanfall, Halo, Doom, or Destiny exist is pretty funny (and yes obviously I understand the genre and gameplay restrictions at play here). And as a side note, the soundrack is pretty bland, never been a strongpoint for battlefield games I know, but it grates me every time I boot up the game.
In addition, I don't see what the setting of WWI really adds to the game other than simply being a novel idea for the sake of novelty. The same types of weapons, map designs, and gameplay tropes appear despite many not making any sense in the time period, and what isn't carried over from the old games is simply lost, such as the team play found with helicopters, and added verticality to maps. I somewhat agree with the argument that gameplay should take precedent over historical accuracy, but it reaches a point when I find myself questioning what the shift in setting adds at all. Again, novelty for the sake of novelty and marketing I suppose. Some of the other problems I have will all battlefield games, such as the lack f consequence for death and lack of real impact on the outcome of games, feel exacerbated in this installment for some reason. Overall, I can't shake the feeling that this game just bores me, especially once the initial awe of the grande spectacle wears off. Perhaps its me outgrowing the genre of 'realistic' shooters, but I honestly regret spending $60 dollars on this game.
This. I just reached 140 in BF4 and found a gun I HAVEN'T USED AT ALL, so I'm going to use it, unlock the stuff for it and keep playing. (not that I wouldn't anyways) he says feature creep, and maybe that true, but I say content and variety. Note: I have over 1000 hours in the game.
WayTooAverage wait for the next battlefield game

Uh... what? I simply didn't have the opportunity or time to respond. I try to reply to as many I can, but there is a 1000+ comments. I can never guarantee a response, but everything is read.
That final line you did was great.
Solid review!
lol 4:34 chat box
The chat box is the lowkey MVP of this video lmao
Go to say that this is the first time I have disagreed with one of your videos.
I think BF1 is awful for multiplayer, I will go ahead and say that I am a hardcore BF player and loved what BF4 became, in almost every way that matters BF1 feels less refined, less balanced and less fun to play. Yes technical presentation wise it is effectively without peers IMO but multiplayer isn't fun. And this is someone who agrees with most of your gripes about BF4.
I have something like 20 hours total playing BF1 which for a game in my favourite series that I was hyped about is essentially an abject failure. I've put more time into BF4 since BF1 launched by a factor of 2. The same can be said for Overwatch and CSGO of the games I already owned. Hell I've even put nearly triple the time into Titanfall 2 which was a game I only purchased due to its reception post launch and BF1 just not doing it at all for me.
Still a good analysis and good video, just not one I agree with which was always going to happen at some point. And hell maybe I'll go back and look at the game with fresh eyes as if you see something in it then maybe its worthy of my renewed attention.
eldoherz the opposite for me , I hate titianfall 2 and love battlefield 1 .
Peetar Ster Vive la difference.
oh my god what a fucking crybaby

Obvious troll is obvious
I loved BF3 and 4 but 1 lacked so hard that it wasn’t fun with all the grenade spam.
Nice video :) Battlefield 1's campaign is my guilty pleasure and was my favourite of 2016.. mainly because I was left wanting more. It came at a time when I just wanted to be told a story while playing a game. It's characters, cinematography, environments are all I've ever wanted in my WW games and it includes a criminally underappreciated score. I agreed with pretty much every point but my mind seems to choose to ignore them :P
I partly agree with your monte grappa bunker objective opinions but attacking them felt so realistic as you kept pressing and waiting for that one opening, that one loop to make the most satisfying of successes while defending them was amazing as you never got a down time and had to always be defending against wave after wave I personally liked it also, your like the cinema sins but for video games
Not all games can end as amazingly as Halo Reach
Perhaps halo 3 haha!

Battlefield 1 could have been so good but the cons for me were:
-Lack of maps on release (9 isn't good enough especially when considering lack of weapons)
-Inclusion of experimental and unused weapons for that era. (MP-18 rarely used irl but almost everyone has one in game)
-Lack of trench warfare on a WW1 game...
-Lack or no character customisation despite it being in other Dice titles such as Battlefront.
-Just feels like a WW2 game with inclusion of automatic and semi automatic weapons, quick tanks and type of maps.
-Lack of accuracy on soldier skins.
-Too much political correctness in inclusion of black characters despite being rare to non existent on the western front.
-Stupid variants of weapons just to make up for lack of weapons in the first place. Get rid of scopes (rare in WW1) and replace with iron sights.
-Inclusion of factions without their own standard issue rifle (Italian and US rifles)
-Campaign really poor depiction of WW1
Vermivorous the Invincible What are you on about? Very few scopes were used in WW1. Rifles were used with iron sights. Sick of people on here with no idea what happened in WW1
"-Lack of trench warfare on a WW1 game... " They even had a chance to make it an entire game-mode.
There's also the parachute issue the game has. Flying a plane at all should be a death sentence if you get shot-down.
Cade Whaley of my research serves me correctly only 5000 models saw action.
The 5000 number isn't confirmed they could've but up to the tens of thousands however the gun was almost exclusively used by stormtroopers and wasn't used by the average German soldier.
so your mad that dice is valuing game mechanics over accuracy
I honestly love those moments in battlefield when the entire team is trying to breach an objective but they keep losing, that chaos is just so fun
The end for friends in high places was fantastic, I don't know what you are talking about, and The Runner actually made me care about the main character.
Bf1 was a small electrical shock from the defibs. The franchise is alive, but no one knows for how long.
YourLocalAsianBot701 I'm sorry what. Why are you needy people so moody with the game just SHUTUP and play the game
+Aidhan Roberts He wasn’t criticizing the game you stupid fuck.
Bf is not dying anytime soon. They always push the envelope, and have a very dedicated playerbase that loves everything about bf. The graphics, animation, realism, and variation of the games makes me a lifetime fan.
@@whocares9402 this aged like milk
A lot of youtubers perfer battlefield 4 or 3
I like the campers against the bull rushers aspect, it was kinda cool to have to constantly push to a single point which meant absolute chaos, thus equalling fun
also operation locker on bf4 in large conquest was soo fun, it was chaotic and hectic and truly felt like a warzone
I love this game, for a reason you labeled a negative. The 'mean-grinder' aspect bring World War 1 to life, which is excellent from a history standpoint, and some can still find enjoyment in meat-grinder gameplay
I just hate those who claim that BF is realistic lol
I don't think many people do.
I don’t play bf1 for realism I play it for the addicting levelution mechanics. I love blowing up buildings that the enemy is holding out in or firing a rocket gun at a machine gun nest that’s been giving our team hell throughout the entire game. But if you don’t like that sort of thing that’s fine it’s your opinion and I can’t change that.
It’s way more realistic than cod so that’s why people say it lol
That and look at the map design, even in bfv if you go look at narvik on google maps today, you’ll see how that map fits into the irl location, or Rotterdam, everything is made to be a perfect replica of the real life location, it’s the attention to detail that sets dice apart from the rest, a lot of bf1 maps are like that too.
This game is awesome. The flow is great. The movement and weapons feel wonderful. And it’s quite the spectacle
I love this game, the fort on Monte Grappa was difficult to take but I enjoyed it, it was an intense realistic battle. Trying to burn out the defenders with gas, grenades, and gunfire was super fun to me.

Missing the point of pretending to be WW1.
Did I play the same game as u, The multiplayer is in my opinion worst than BF4 and ect, the tanks can be destroyed in a matter of seconds because 90% of players have the rocket gun, if your playing medic, players will skip back to the respawn screen as you get to them, and don't get me started with the the average weapon you will see in the game, in BF4 there was a large amount of weapons that u can pick and customise but in BF1, most players run around with the Hellriger
I love choke points on maps, not becuase of the chaos (well some) but you can relax and take a break while your team does the work.
It's an undeniably gorgeous game. This is a relief having gone from bf3 to preordering bf4.
