Battlefield 1 ist eine gelungene Abwechslung und liefert eine der bisher besten Kampagnen der Serie und einen soliden Multiplayer, mit ein paar netten Neuerungen. Die Kampagne wirkt zwar etwas zu Hollywood-Like inszeniert und fällt dieses mal sehr kurz aus, aber ansonsten bietet Battlefield 1 wieder mal ein umfangreiches Gesamtpaket für Shooter-Fans. Auch in Sachen Seaons Pass bleibt noch die Frage offen, ob sich kommende Inhalte wirklich für so einen hohen Aufpreis lohnen werden.

Battlefield remixes the formula for its move to WWI, resulting in a patchy but playable campaign and outstanding multiplayer.

What many worried would be a simple reskin is so much more than that; this is a very different, slower paced and more serious Battlefield that is genuinely refreshing to play through.

Battlefield 1 is a bold reinvention of the Battlefield series, proving not only that DICE aren't afraid to move in brave new directions, but also that they have a genuine understanding of what makes a Battlefield game really tick. Series veterans will feel immediately at home in the multiplayer, while those scared by the online battlefields will find the campaign, while short, provides a great diversion and a good way to ease yourself into the chaotic world of Battlefield.

By returning to the past, Battlefield 1 feels renewed. The best game in the series since Bad Company 2.

Battlefield 1's solemn campaign and over-the-top multiplayer may feel like polar opposites, but the complete package is all-around excellent.

If you’re looking to buy only one multiplayer FPS this year Battlefield 1 is more than worthy of your hard-earned cash – I honestly can’t envisage anything being better.

A few minor shortcomings aside, Battlefield 1 is just the type of reinvigoration that the franchise needed.

Special super-powered boats and airships also appear in Conquest mode, but only when one side dominates the other. As a result, they're not as impactful. In practice, they feel like a Mario Kart blue shell thrown at a racer who's already on track to winning a race handily. Conquest is a purely symmetrical battle, where both sides have equal shots at claiming and maintaining turf control. In the beta, super-powered craft turned the tide too severely and too often in Conquest; now, it's just a light perk to help way-behind teams have a little more hope in at least racking up XP or knocking out badge-related goals.

World class multiplayer and an original, successful approach to single-player make Battlefield 1 the shooter to beat this Christmas.

Battlefield 1 does an amazing job of transplanting the fantastic chemistry of the series’ traditional multiplayer action into the weaponry and vehicles of World War I. The era brings with it not only a visually striking backdrop for classic game modes like Conquest and the compelling new Operations, but a distinct personality that touches everything from its rich lineup of archaic and distinctively designed weapons to the somber anthology of character-driven stories in its brief but surprisingly poignant single-player scenarios. While maps are not its strong point, Battlefield 1’s dynamically destructible environments and the minutely balanced mechanics of its classes and gadgets keep the moment-to-moment first-person shooting varied and engaging.

I didn't see myself playing through (and enjoying) Battlefield 1's campaign even just weeks prior to this assessment, but here we are. It somehow manages to be a good amalgam of the staple formula DICE has relied on for years, with a bit of anime (flashes of Metal Gear Solid V and flowing shonen capes) sprinkled in for good measure. I'm really not looking forward to spending $50 on the DLC to get more maps, but for now, I'll be coasting along in Operations for the next few months.

Battlefield 1 is a hugely refreshing take on not only the series but the shooter genre in general. It’s exciting to see the series explore such an underused time period in video games, and properly represent not only the insanity of battle but the horror of it all as well.

In many ways Battlefield 1 is as strong as the series has ever been - but DICE haven't found a way to truly marry the historical setting with its mechanics in a way that feels satisfying or unique. Still, at least the launch was smooth.

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.
