Battlefield 1 Reviews
Battlefield 1 is the greatest addition to the franchise since Bad Company , and its lone sequel, pairing its beloved 64-player combat with an innovative new take on the single-player campaign. The stories told within can definitely be a bummer at times but it’s rare that we felt anything but positive about our time with Battlefield 1.
Battlefield 1 is the best version of the franchise since the Bad company 2. Despite having the same problems like the narrative and level design, the game succeeds to offer a better experience with the story, and this success is achieved by the enchanted narration and the developer’s creativity. But the best part of the game is in the online multi player mode, which is now at the peak of the well known “battlefield formula”. You don't have to spend all your time in the Conquest mode, because with the revolutionary operations mode and the other interesting modes like the War pigeon, you can enjoy the power of the Battlefield’s multiplayer much more and better than ever.

All said and done, Battlefield 1 is slick, fresh entry in a franchise that helped pioneer the first-person military shooter genre. World War I has been thought of as the dawn of modern warfare and Battlefield 1 sets the standard of what to expect.
Battlefield 1 is a fantastic game, but not necessarily a fantastic Battlefield game. The boots on the ground multiplayer is second to none, but the vehicular action which was always the focus of Battlefield has moved to the wayside, replaced by run and gun action and a surplus of snipers picking people off. That said, like Star Wars Battlefront it’s an absolute feast for the eyes, and half the fun is the visual spectacle of seeing just what insanity can unfold when 64 players are given hundreds of ludicrously dangerous toys to play with. Backed up by the most solid campaign in Battlefield history, Battlefield 1 gets a wavering thumbs up from me.
If you can look past the shortcomings (length, glitches) and enjoy the awesome experience that comes with Battlefield 1, you’ll find it to be a welcome addition to your library. It’s definitely found a spot in my best-of-year list.
The fantasies I want to fulfil aren’t found in the trenches.
The fact of the matter is that DICE has created one of the flat-out best multiplayer games in years. And with 60hz servers from the get-go and no noticeable issues with hit detection, it has clearly learned from Battlefield 4's launch.
Battlefield 1 manages to break up the monotony of current first person shooter trends by offering a fresh setting. Despite some issues, it offers one of the better Battlefield campaigns and a robust multiplayer component that will keep you hooked up for quite a while.
EA DICE came through in the clutch and provided an engaging title that’s both entertaining and challenging. Battlefield 1 is certainly worth your investment and should carry you well past fall and into the winter.
Battlefield 1's solemn campaign and over-the-top multiplayer may feel like polar opposites, but the complete package is all-around excellent.
A few minor shortcomings aside, Battlefield 1 is just the type of reinvigoration that the franchise needed.
Overall, I still emphasize the fact that for those who expect a Battlefield game, that is exactly what you are given. At its core, it’s a competent shooter from a company that knows what it is doing, but it really should have been so much more. Perhaps shifting eras will be enough for most, but it feels like EA Dice went through the motions here. From the ho-hum campaign to the by-the-numbers multiplayer, it feels like a manufactured product rather than a game that developers poured their hearts and souls into, and that’s a real shame.
Make sure you do yourself a favour and grab a copy as soon as you can. It really will change the way you look at first person shooters. Utterly amazing.
Frustrating, yet spectacular all-out war
Putting to rest any qualms about the World War I setting, Battlefield 1 is a true Battlefield game with everything you’ve come expect from the franchise.
While the campaign’s experimental short stories may just be the most interesting thing about Battlefield 1, this is not a niche experience to accurately portray the history its borrowing. This is a Battlefield game, and that means World War One in the Battlefield style, with all the compromises therein.
Shooting down the blimp for the first time or blowing up a tank with dynamite gives you that great sense of accomplishment, that you are making a difference on the battlefield. These epic moments are what make the Battlefield franchise great and keep people coming back for more.
With a fantastic single-player segment this year's Battlefield feels like a very complete package. The multiplayer adds some impressive new modes and features but at its core its the same old Battlefield experience.
DICE should be praised for taking the risky move and turning back the clock with Battlefield 1, both in terms of the era and the direction for the franchise. Very often these moves can cripple a series, but thankfully for us – and DICE – it’s a move that has revitalised the franchise.
DICE made a perfect game with Battlefield 1. It has a competent campaign that properly does justice to The Great War and a deep, fun multiplayer experience that reminds us why Battlefield does it better than anyone on a massive scale.
