The gun play in BF1 is too simplistic, the explosive spam was oppressive as well. BF1 was an amazing game but BF4 had the bets gun play and mechanics. BF3 had the best level design though, so BF2042 really just needed to combine those 2.
Hands down, Bf1 is THE best battlefield title. A masterpiece of a game. The devs really gave it their most. The behemoths are always a perfect addition to the chaos. And Jack you went off!
@@РаЫо Games have continued to develop technically. Battlefield 2042 has significantly improved weather effects and The Finals has a novel destruction model and lighting that reacts much better in real-time to those destructions (using UE5's Lumen RT). Not to mention higher resolution textures, reflections, shadows, etc.
The battles through trenches were amazing, totally unlike any other game or game mode. I can't believe they thought Grand Operations in BF5 was an improvement
The attention to detail in this game is unmatched. If someone throws a grenade near you, your character starts to panic, breathing heavily and sometimes screams.
BF5 does this too but with way better visuals, I just don't get the hype with BF1 when BF5 is the same but with the best visuals of any battlefield game
@@eafan48 because Battlefield one has a better atmosphere overall. It really feels like a tribute to the war rather than just making a game about it. It also has weapon balancing, maps, Fun game modes, and even an ARG for people who are into that (me).
One of the coolest little details I ever witnessed in BF1 was when I levelled up while playing - as one does, nothing special -, but a friendly soldier literally said "Congraulations to your promotion!". It's not a normal voice line, and I am pretty sure the teammate who's soldeir said that didn't get it on his end, but I'm to this day amazed it's in the game... That's something you wouldn't notice or see (or rather, hear) that often, but still the devs took the time and effort to put it in the game... I think BF1 very much deserves it's title of best BF game, it certanly is for me!
I think they put in rare call outs. I remember in battlefield Hardline we where all stuck in a staircase with molotovs and bullets flying everywhere and one of the models randomly call out, "who's f***n idea was this!?" I've only heard it once in years of playing it
Also, A fellow soldier will commend you ehen you get a satisfying kill. I appreciate the fact that its one of the few WW1 games that made through the WW2 cluster(which is usually the mainstream genre). Verdun and Isonzo couldnt get 'Beyond The Wire'(DoI mod), all were fun
For me, it's the map design that really gets my nostalgia for BF1 flowing. The maps looked incredible and were super immersive. They felt like actual places and, for the most part, played incredibly well, too.
I just downloaded it again after I've seen this video and it's still INCREDIBLE!!!! OMG!! I can't remember when i enjoyed gaming this much last time!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!! Thank you man, so appreciate you!!
I was a COD player, but when I saw your videos of BF1, I subbed and started playing BF1 and it's one of my favorite games in terms of graphics, gameplay and immersion. I was able to bring even my PUBG friends over to this game. They were all blown away and still respect this game.
I stopped playing BF1 in 2019, when I started to exclusively play Apex for its competitive scene. Today I re-installed BF1. Loaded it up, and was blown away just like I was so many years ago. It’s gotta be one of the single best stand alone FPS games ever made. I mean they still have a multiplayer scene and the game looks and plays EXCEPTIONALLY and its October 2024. What the fuck?!?
One of the most underated or less noticed things in video games that bf1 did amazing is sound design. From the planes firing overhead to the echoing gunshots from others fighting it out. Even stuff like advancing in operations. Explosions and screams in the background. Everything was so on point with the sound. It felt like you were on an actual battlefield. evrything else was on point too. The destruction and visuals were epic. Starting on a clean map and ending with a bunch of muddy craters and collapsed buildings all across the map. It was truly epic. A true battlefield experience.
The attention to detail in the sound design was amazing, when you fired your weapons depending on the surface the shell casing landed on like sand, wood, tile, concrete etc. it would have a different sound for each.
@@VintageGameZ Yeah they really thought of everything its pretty crazy. And than you compare it to 2042 release and they wonder why there numbers are dropping.
@@lcn2snipeit was the OST, SFX and art pallet all 2gether that's sold it. Also BF was coming off of BF4 being loved after the bad launch. Combined with the BF1 trailer going viral and the lack of WW2 themed games at the time made this WW1 game pop in many eyes. Also being in the middle of a console generation meant they didn't have to make it for 5 platforms. Plus COD was doing really bad at the time and FPS games in general. The timing was literally perfect for its launch. There was alot of luck that made BF1 so successful at the same time as skill and passion ppl forget. Compare it to BFV or BF2042 they both they were almost doomed from launch. BR games were in full swing during their launches, 2042 came out right when a new console was just launched so it was bound to have alot of bugs. BFV trailer doomed it from the start. 2042 trailer actually was good but it was lies. 2042 was too ambitious with 128 players making the maps poorly designed to allow the higher player count. 2042 eas coming off of BFV which gave it a disadvantage. BFV came out the same time as Warzone I believe so it had no chance and alot of ppl forget BF1 got alot of hate during its life cycle so that hurt BFV chances. BF1 only got love after BFV came out I noticed
BF1 was such a crafted experience that I moved to Belgium just to have better access to all the Great War museums here. Shout-out to the In Flanders Fields museum of Ypres.
so when i got my first job (parents never bought me a console growing up) my first check i bought a xbox 1 bf1 bundle, and for the longest time i only played this game and god was i contempt with that. this game is phenomenal.
4:39 BRUH…. 😂💀 “WITNESS ME!!!!!! YEEEEESSSSS” I am surprised to see BF1 at the top. But I can see their point. I feel we all took it for granted during its time. I would love a BF1 pt2
I’ve never seen a comment for this but I loved being the squad leader and issuing the Go Go Go command, you blew a whistle and it felt so cinematic with everybody movie forward during the start of the game or during compact environments
Dude FR! When playing Operations and you capture the zones there is a whistle audio that plays with the roaring of the soldiers. I used to love blowing my whistle after the initial audio to be more cinematic!
Battlefield 1 had the most fun gameplay loop out of all of them, the modern BFs kind of felt more like a big CoD. BF1 felt epic every game it was so good I miss those days so much.
Hey Jack, just wanted to let you know that yes, the French did indeed have blue postal boxes during the time depicted: "From 1830 to 1899, wooden boxes were painted grey with a white or grey door. Until 1912 they were bronze green. Then, up until 1939, they were sky blue, dark blue or dark green. From 1940 to 1955 they were petrol or dark blue, then navy blue up to 1961. From then until 1985 postboxes were orange yellow, and from 1985 onwards, daffodil yellow." Another win for a title that DICE clearly poured all their collective passion and skill into (let's hope they do it again some day!)
The fact it states on that first opening mission that you're not expected to survive the war to end all wars that changed nothing. So real intense game play and cut scenes in this and bf5 pretty much every bf game has had epic cutscenes
I think the soundtrack of this game really creates the immersion. A good soundtrack cannot be overstated. When you get down to 50 tickets in operations and the music starts to kick in it creates that tension and then it ramps up and it really creates that sense of urgency to get to that flag. Haha maybe that soundd a little weird, but a games soundtrack and sound design are important to me, and in BF1 I feel like I'm in a WW1 movie. And this game is a stand out especially in the audio department
Call of duty world at war had the samething as well in the war mode the music would kick in when you needed to capture remaining flags to win the game you could feel the intensity kick up as the music changed into a higher pace tune
The most epic game ever, atmosphere, sounds, immersion, gameplay. I could play this forever, imagine if they just updated this with new maps and operations...
On the postboxes, in the UK if someone from your town won a gold medal at the London Olympics you got a gold post box. We got one for Bradley Wiggins 🥇
I became a subscriber when you were posting bf1 vids daily (around 2017). As someone who was new to BF, I loved watching your videos because it made me play better and I'd always learn something new about the game. I remember bf1 being pretty controversial back then, so I'm glad to see it's finally getting all the love and praise it deserves! Also arguably the best soundtrack ever made.
It’s the sound. BF1 immediately immerses you into the harsh environment and landscapes by capturing your auditory senses; every explosion, distant crack of a rifle, nearby flames, or eery screams. The majestic overhead rush of a plane, or the deep grumbling of a tank around the corner. It all fits perfectly. The sweep of wind as you crest a ridge, the finality of the blast of a fortress gun aimed at you, or the total absurdity of chaos from the behemoth airship. It’s detail, detail, beauty, and design and creation from love.
I think one of the most underrated parts about this game is how well they delineated the classes. Yes, some guns are a little overtuned, but each class' role feels so unique and defined within the game that you can kind of use whatever you want and not feel like a wet towel simply because you're not using the hellriegel.
Battlefield one was amazing. The sound, visuals, music, atmosphere, it got so many things right. The guns and how they sound, explosions, hit markers, kill sounds, animation, all amazing. If you look at any other Battlefield game and compare it to this you'll really understand how different and truly enjoyable bf1 really was. I wish more people played this game, so I could relive 2017 again.
From the very first beta access in the desert, me and my friends had some of the best battlefield experiences we've ever had. Flying the bomber together, and switching seats had you (still in first person!) actually climb through the plane into the seat. All while under fighter fire or some random ground fire hitting us. It was very good gameplay. Extremely immersive which i think theres quite a few BF games that do that.
Your videos from Christmas 2022 slaying on BF1 is what made me build a new PC last summer and put hundreds of hours into it since last October after getting bored with the latest CODs. BF1 is like playing in a movie and I've never experienced a game that captures you on so many levels of emotions, sensation and senses in general. Keep em vids coming with the GOAT that is BF1
battlefield 1 had some of the best gunplay ever. I can’t describe it, but the clunky old feeling of the weapons, wether having a semi, full auto, shotgun or sniper, seriously gave the gunfights weight to them. It made skill not really as focused, but how much you knew your weapon. Seriously, BF1 plays unlike any other battlefield game. Unique, and definitely amazing.
I loved that each weapon and class played so differently, especially after BF4 where so many classes kinda merged with similar weapon and gadget choices. The weapons in BF1 with unique secondary modes, like the Pedersen device and General Liu, and variations like the RSC SMG made the weapon choices incredibly unique compared to any game ever.
I thought the game had mid grade gun mechanics. The bullet drop and shooting in BF3 and BC2 2 was just better. Sure the guns of the era have a part in that but they didn't feel the same in BF1.
Frontlines was the greatest mode of any battlefield, especially at first when the games had no time limits. Had some crazy fights on this map on operations too.
I started on BF Bad Company, and Bad Company 2, but my first real entry I dived into was BF3. Since then, only BF1 has me still coming back. I can boot up BF1 right now and have a blast. BFV not so much. I would say BF3 for the nostalgia but BF1 captured something magical and special, I have such fond memories of that game.
BF1 and BF3 are the kings of battlefield, bf3 for modern and bf1 for world war content. DICE can literally remaster BF3 and release it with zero changes outside of updated graphics and they would PRINT money. So many people want to play BF3 but it's unplayable in any real way at the moment. BF4 blows and doesn't even close to scratch the itch bf3 gave.
You were the first UA-cam gamer I subscribed to, around when this game dropped. You gave me a lot of pointers, got better. Love this game, Cheers jack.
well, the trailer of this game was a banger with seven nation army playing. Everything about this game is epic. I think its the best of the battlefields because has a lot of real events and battles that indeed happened. And the opening when you re just a normal soldier fighting and getting overruned. The peace of the pigeon flying and hell beneath it... so awesome, thats was battlefield.
I’m in my early 30’s as I’m sure many of you are around the same age. I have very little time to play games anymore with work/family and I’m okay with that. I still enjoy playing BF1 to this day as many of you. I just don’t understand why a game like this can’t be released again. Lastly, I got new OLED TV recently and seeing this game on there was incredible to say the least. Please Dice, make us all happy again!
Jack - *goes prone next to two tanks chucking dynamite at them* Jack - "WITNESS ME!!!" There's a reason your my favorite UA-camr. Awesome video as always Jack. Much love.
I first played this when I was 9…and I’m nearly 17 now. Under the supervision of my dad of course 🤣. BF1 is one of my favourite games of all time. Still play it now.
BF1 is such a solid game. Im still playing it whenever i can for long hour sessions, mainly hardcore. One you understand the mechanics and especially once you understand the difference of enemy foot and gun sounds you can trully exploit the potential in gameplay. The very only thing about the game that i wish wasn't a thing is the supression affecting your aim. But everything else is TOP!
Bf1 is a masterpiece. The feel, movement, and truly rewarding each playing style. Sniping is so satisfying, being medic is rewarding, and assault you can actually be damaging and not just in a blender. The graphics are just the icing on top for a game that is nearly 10 years old.
3100 hours between PC and PS4. The perfect mix of PTFO sweat and chill fragging. The atmosphere and visuals are aging like wine in a basement. Best multiplayer FPS ever.
I think currently, battlefield 1 is definitely the best. But at it's height battlefield 3 felt like the franchise peak. The game was fun, the community was cool, the lobbies were awesome. Everything just worked. I was also in college when life was simple and fun.
Bf1 was always my favorite. But I never thought it would win! I remember back when it released that I loved it, but there were always so many bf4 and bf3 people complaining about it, that I didn't think it was that popular. I'm glad to see though, it means I can download it again lmao
Jack you are like battlefield 1. An absolute masterclass that never gets old and lasts the test of time. Thank you for your content and long live battlefield 1!
The atmosphere, graphics and grittyness of BF1 The amount of content and gameplay possibilities from BF4 The destruction of BFBC2 and BF3(+ BF3 had some nice graphics as well for its age) The gunplay of BF5 = Perfect BF ever made.
It sold more than BF3 because it was riding off of the success is bf4 but after the launch everybody went back to bf3/4 because BF1 was mid and they ruined the soldier movement and gunplay from bf3/4 and BF1/5 totally destroyed RUSH battlefield’s greatest game mode
What made it my favorite was the amazing destruction mechanics. Each battle truly felt like their own, especially when a slain behemoth is fallen on the battlefield
People hate on 5 because it didn't "accurately" follow popular war periods but gameplay wise I still think it had the best mechanics and movement of all the games
@@allpraisewebb1142and they were following and agenda and didn’t really listen to the bf5 fans and even broke sum parts of the game luckily theyre gone
BF1 is my personal favorite BF. If 128 players and big maps were to be implemented in any BF, it's BF1. Imagine the behemoths out in the distance, knowing it's chaos where it's at.
BF1 was respectful of its history in all the ways BFV wasn't. I missed the expansive design philosophy of BF4, but the result was an extremely tight game that felt great on a fundamental level.
I love it because It covers the WW1, which at that time of release, no known shooter game that cover this particular timeline. (And I like the details such as why the announcer in BF1 using a narrator? Because at that time there's still no voice-over-radio, only telegraph/morse code)
I feel like an aspect no one talks about is the interface and the choice of typography used to relay information. It’s so clean and resonates so well with the era
My top three are 1st BF3, 2nd BF1 and 3rd BF4. BF3 will forever be one of my favorite games of all time as well as my favorite Battlefield. So many good memories of it playing with good friends, two of whom have passed away. It is irreplaceable.
This was by far my favorite and most played battle field. Was a huge fan of the series but you are 100% right with how this had such a unique feeling to it. I played on ps4 at the time on a 100inch projection screen. Sometimes i would use surround sound instead of headphones for a unreal cinematic experience.
Of all BF games this one became my favorite, and I sadly gave up on this game due to no support from EA & not banning cheaters. Like every single game I was getting in, there is at least 1 full hack-package guy.
13:50 seeing this suddenly reminds me of MoH: Airborne, at that time the parachute mechanic was still new in FPS, now seeing how effortlessly players can do this here, it's just amazing how far technology has been advancing in gaming industry.
Very surprised that this beat Battlefield 3 but it was very close! Which game do you think should have won out of them all?
Battlefield 3 no doubt. 1 is amazing as well tho. Nothing will too BF3 FOR ME
Battlefield 4
Bf 1, thus I’m happy with the result
Bf3 or bf4
BF3
The art style, the sound and ambience, the gun play, the maps. A true masterpiece, 1100h and counting.
agreed. i can still go back and play it till this day and enjoy it almost as much as day 1. the environments are really well done.
When the dreadnought and other behemoth show up is awesome.
@@im_cadillacTotally agree. This game is so good i still enjoy watching someone else play it.
1100h bro 10k and counting almost a million players crossed 3k already you are too far
1800 hours on this without playing much since warzone came out.
Best battlefield I've played
Saw bf1, immediately clicked
Same here!!
Same dude... its always nice to see Jack doing BF1 stuff
Same
Man I miss the sniping on this game
We are the same, you and I
All I wanted after Battlefield 1 & 5 was a modern era version of Battlefield 1
Youd want to be the guy thats making his own pistols out of materials, such as auto parts, in your area.
Quietly mending broken weapons systems.
Said the same thing. If BF1 was modern.
That but with better gunplay than BF1.
The gun play in BF1 is too simplistic, the explosive spam was oppressive as well. BF1 was an amazing game but BF4 had the bets gun play and mechanics. BF3 had the best level design though, so BF2042 really just needed to combine those 2.

The sweep of wind as you crest a ridge, the finality of the blast of a fortress gun aimed at you, or the total absurdity of chaos from the behemoth airship.
It’s detail, detail, beauty, and design and creation from love.
I loved the contrast between the modern UI and the old setting. Made it feel almost like playing inside a simulation, similar to ready player one.
1942 and 1943 were my go to BF game back in the day. I played bf2 which I quite enjoyed as well. Not played any of the others though.
Certainly the greatest multiplayer Battlefield title. Oh my stars.
Bad Company 2 still holds that title for me.
I think one of the most underrated parts about this game is how well they delineated the classes. Yes, some guns are a little overtuned, but each class' role feels so unique and defined within the game that you can kind of use whatever you want and not feel like a wet towel simply because you're not using the hellriegel.
The Attenborough impression was an under appreciated moment 😂 loved it
He nailed it! 😂😂😂
Battlefield one was amazing.
The sound, visuals, music, atmosphere, it got so many things right. The guns and how they sound, explosions, hit markers, kill sounds, animation, all amazing.
If you look at any other Battlefield game and compare it to this you'll really understand how different and truly enjoyable bf1 really was. I wish more people played this game, so I could relive 2017 again.
Also I really love watching these older battlefield vids, thanks Jack! GG
From the very first beta access in the desert, me and my friends had some of the best battlefield experiences we've ever had. Flying the bomber together, and switching seats had you (still in first person!) actually climb through the plane into the seat. All while under fighter fire or some random ground fire hitting us. It was very good gameplay. Extremely immersive which i think theres quite a few BF games that do that.
Your videos from Christmas 2022 slaying on BF1 is what made me build a new PC last summer and put hundreds of hours into it since last October after getting bored with the latest CODs. BF1 is like playing in a movie and I've never experienced a game that captures you on so many levels of emotions, sensation and senses in general. Keep em vids coming with the GOAT that is BF1
battlefield 1 had some of the best gunplay ever. I can’t describe it, but the clunky old feeling of the weapons, wether having a semi, full auto, shotgun or sniper, seriously gave the gunfights weight to them. It made skill not really as focused, but how much you knew your weapon.
Seriously, BF1 plays unlike any other battlefield game. Unique, and definitely amazing.
LOLz ,the game was designed to pull cod kids from cod, its not called casualfield 1 for nothing!
Literally never heard that before. @@ThMindFdr
I loved that each weapon and class played so differently, especially after BF4 where so many classes kinda merged with similar weapon and gadget choices. The weapons in BF1 with unique secondary modes, like the Pedersen device and General Liu, and variations like the RSC SMG made the weapon choices incredibly unique compared to any game ever.
I thought the game had mid grade gun mechanics. The bullet drop and shooting in BF3 and BC2 2 was just better. Sure the guns of the era have a part in that but they didn't feel the same in BF1.
@@ThMindFdrwut? That’s clearly what they did in 2042 but bf1 is not for cod players
You’re a legend jack. Thanks for continuing to upload battlefield content
1:20 THAT'S ME?! HOW DID I NOT NOTICE YOU?
Immediately makes me feel like loading up BF1
Man, I slayed on this game. BF4 was my all time favorite, followed by 1. Great Video Jack, I love your coverage on a game on grew up on!
Frontlines was the greatest mode of any battlefield, especially at first when the games had no time limits. Had some crazy fights on this map on operations too.
I started on BF Bad Company, and Bad Company 2, but my first real entry I dived into was BF3. Since then, only BF1 has me still coming back. I can boot up BF1 right now and have a blast. BFV not so much. I would say BF3 for the nostalgia but BF1 captured something magical and special, I have such fond memories of that game.
Same.
BF1 and BF3 are the kings of battlefield, bf3 for modern and bf1 for world war content. DICE can literally remaster BF3 and release it with zero changes outside of updated graphics and they would PRINT money. So many people want to play BF3 but it's unplayable in any real way at the moment. BF4 blows and doesn't even close to scratch the itch bf3 gave.
You were the first UA-cam gamer I subscribed to, around when this game dropped. You gave me a lot of pointers, got better. Love this game, Cheers jack.
well, the trailer of this game was a banger with seven nation army playing. Everything about this game is epic. I think its the best of the battlefields because has a lot of real events and battles that indeed happened. And the opening when you re just a normal soldier fighting and getting overruned. The peace of the pigeon flying and hell beneath it... so awesome, thats was battlefield.
I’m in my early 30’s as I’m sure many of you are around the same age. I have very little time to play games anymore with work/family and I’m okay with that. I still enjoy playing BF1 to this day as many of you. I just don’t understand why a game like this can’t be released again. Lastly, I got new OLED TV recently and seeing this game on there was incredible to say the least. Please Dice, make us all happy again!
OLED look so good!! Those deep blacks and punchy colour! I'm hoping to get one eventually. They're getting cheaper
Jack - *goes prone next to two tanks chucking dynamite at them*
Jack - "WITNESS ME!!!"
There's a reason your my favorite UA-camr. Awesome video as always Jack. Much love.
I first played this when I was 9…and I’m nearly 17 now. Under the supervision of my dad of course 🤣. BF1 is one of my favourite games of all time. Still play it now.

This is the first time someone has made me feel old, and I'm 26!

I first played this when I was 20, I'm 28 now. Fuck.
BF1 is such a solid game. Im still playing it whenever i can for long hour sessions, mainly hardcore. One you understand the mechanics and especially once you understand the difference of enemy foot and gun sounds you can trully exploit the potential in gameplay. The very only thing about the game that i wish wasn't a thing is the supression affecting your aim. But everything else is TOP!
I could watch you play this for hours. By far the best.
BF2:Modern Combat will always have a place in my heart though.
Bf1 is a masterpiece. The feel, movement, and truly rewarding each playing style. Sniping is so satisfying, being medic is rewarding, and assault you can actually be damaging and not just in a blender. The graphics are just the icing on top for a game that is nearly 10 years old.
12:16 - 12:26 I love this animation of this revolver, Hey jack great vid mate keep it up, my favorite would be BF5.
Thanks for another BF1 vid! Such an iconic game. Much love
I love it when Jack uploads a BF1 video! Keep it up!
Just installed Bf1 few days ago and it’s still a blast.
3100 hours between PC and PS4. The perfect mix of PTFO sweat and chill fragging. The atmosphere and visuals are aging like wine in a basement. Best multiplayer FPS ever.
its always great to see u playing bf1
more bf1 vids plz
I think currently, battlefield 1 is definitely the best. But at it's height battlefield 3 felt like the franchise peak. The game was fun, the community was cool, the lobbies were awesome. Everything just worked. I was also in college when life was simple and fun.
Just the ability to chat to the entire team just made gameplay so much better..
One of the best games ever made and still looks better than most games today it's absolutely stunning
From 4:30 to 5:10 - a lot of emotions going on in there from a calm gamer as Jack. Only BF can do that. Brilliant.
Bf1 was always my favorite. But I never thought it would win! I remember back when it released that I loved it, but there were always so many bf4 and bf3 people complaining about it, that I didn't think it was that popular. I'm glad to see though, it means I can download it again lmao
Jack you are like battlefield 1. An absolute masterclass that never gets old and lasts the test of time. Thank you for your content and long live battlefield 1!
BF1 has GOAT Status
jackfrags, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
I’ve been binge watching jacfrags BF1 videos I’m so happy he’s playing it again
The atmosphere, graphics and grittyness of BF1
The amount of content and gameplay possibilities from BF4
The destruction of BFBC2 and BF3(+ BF3 had some nice graphics as well for its age)
The gunplay of BF5
=
Perfect BF ever made.
BF1 was sold way more than BF3, no wonder it won a poll based on the modern Battlefield players
It sold more than BF3 because it was riding off of the success is bf4 but after the launch everybody went back to bf3/4 because BF1 was mid and they ruined the soldier movement and gunplay from bf3/4 and BF1/5 totally destroyed RUSH battlefield’s greatest game mode
Maybe bc there's more ppl playing video games now 2024 compare back then when ppl thought video games were 4 Lil kids 🤔 2010😂😂
@@Deeznutz581 Lies, who everybody? BF1 never lacked players even up to this day. If you like the other games more say that but don't lie
@@ricko2301yea the servers stay full everyday and nite. Graphics still phenomenal and the sound of war is top notch
Still playing this game.. the last great battlefield experience 🙌🏻 maybe BFV but I prefer this one, just amazing ..
What made it my favorite was the amazing destruction mechanics. Each battle truly felt like their own, especially when a slain behemoth is fallen on the battlefield
The music you hear combined with the battle cries of the soldiers when you advance to the next sector is just so epic
BF1 was something special. The graphics still look the sexiest lol. BFV what did that place? I’d assume P6 maybe.
Which is awful considering bfv had the best gameplay of the whole franchise
@@gamingeuphoria7928they placed 12th and for good reason. The launch was weak, marketing atrocious, and it took several years to get it playing good.
People hate on 5 because it didn't "accurately" follow popular war periods but gameplay wise I still think it had the best mechanics and movement of all the games
@@allpraisewebb1142and they were following and agenda and didn’t really listen to the bf5 fans and even broke sum parts of the game luckily theyre gone
Im a simple man; I see Jack post BF1, I like
BF1 is my personal favorite BF. If 128 players and big maps were to be implemented in any BF, it's BF1. Imagine the behemoths out in the distance, knowing it's chaos where it's at.
Love your BF1 videos … the game still gives me goosebumps now !
i´m surprised i was expecting Bad Company 2 to be on Nr 1 ( but i´m 32 , so i was growing up more with the old BF Games )
BF1 was respectful of its history in all the ways BFV wasn't. I missed the expansive design philosophy of BF4, but the result was an extremely tight game that felt great on a fundamental level.
I ate Popeyes now I’m on the toilet watching this video
What the hell… deadass same!
Didn't eat Popeyes but I'm on the toilet watching this
playing bf1 in vr rn on the toilet
U need to play operations
That’s why it’s number 1….operations was the best!
I love it because It covers the WW1, which at that time of release, no known shooter game that cover this particular timeline. (And I like the details such as why the announcer in BF1 using a narrator? Because at that time there's still no voice-over-radio, only telegraph/morse code)
Crazy how there is so much nostalgia for something I was so completely immersed in not so long ago.
This puts the newer Battlefield titles to shame. We will never get this back
I think BF1 took the top spot because EA was giving it away for free with all DLCs
BF1 frontlines gamemode is amazing, 64 players pushing for map control.
I feel like an aspect no one talks about is the interface and the choice of typography used to relay information. It’s so clean and resonates so well with the era
My top three are 1st BF3, 2nd BF1 and 3rd BF4. BF3 will forever be one of my favorite games of all time as well as my favorite Battlefield. So many good memories of it playing with good friends, two of whom have passed away. It is irreplaceable.
This was by far my favorite and most played battle field. Was a huge fan of the series but you are 100% right with how this had such a unique feeling to it. I played on ps4 at the time on a 100inch projection screen. Sometimes i would use surround sound instead of headphones for a unreal cinematic experience.
Bf3 was released in 2011.. a large portion of people probably never played it..
Yea BF1 was so amazing. Its funny that you say about the amazing stories from different situations. It seams more on here that any of the other BF1.
Of all BF games this one became my favorite, and I sadly gave up on this game due to no support from EA & not banning cheaters. Like every single game I was getting in, there is at least 1 full hack-package guy.
4:40 hearing you scream hyped like that was brilliant 😂
This was my first ever BF game and I would still go back and play this today .. Have lots of memories with cousins on this
I’m so happy BFV and 2042 didn’t get voted to top 5.
bf1 got me the best chills in gaming for me, getting out of a trench as a team to push an objective with the huge music of bf is a great feeling
13:50 seeing this suddenly reminds me of MoH: Airborne, at that time the parachute mechanic was still new in FPS, now seeing how effortlessly players can do this here, it's just amazing how far technology has been advancing in gaming industry.
The fight for B on Monte Grappa is nuts. I remember winning operations because our entire team was in the bunker and it was just chaos. Love BF1
