Battlefield 1 Reviews
Some poor mechanics keep the campaign from being superb, but fans come to the series for its competitive multiplayer. Battlefield 1 is successful in turning back the clock while other franchises are aiming for the future.
Many have accused Battlefield 1 of being a WW2 shooter with a WW1 skin. I can’t argue with that, but I also can’t get that upset about it either. I love running out of the trenches with a group of teammates, as we charge towards the enemy and get mowed down by turrets and sub-machine guns. If we survive, there’s a good chance we’ll end up choking on mustard gas as we try to claim a control point. I’ve not experienced this in any modern FPS, and it does make a difference, regardless of historical accuracy. And that whistle. Holy crap, that whistle.
Battlefield 1 goes beyond what we thought was possible to deliver one of the best World War I imaginings in gaming
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.

Its campaign is a well-rounded and suitably crafted anthology of Great War tales. It will raise some questions about how it deals with war and conflict, but I’m confident that Battlefield 1 will stand the test of time as a respectful contributor to the discussion.
With such breathtaking locations and a range of activities to keep everyone entertained, this is one title that’ll be sticking around for a long time.
Battlefield 1 is a masterpiece of shooters. Verdun showed us how to make WWI FPS, Battlefield 1 showed us how to master it. Amazing graphics, animated embarking, plenty of experimental weapons, great gameplay, what else a player might want?

In essence, this is the same Battlefield you’ve being playing for a while except that it has remembered what it does best and ran with it more often than not. The risk of taking on a World War I scenario has been tackled excellently within the single-player and multiplayer modes, leaving a refreshing experience that sees Battlefield return to its absolute best. Throughout the entire time I’ve been playing Battlefield 1, the series’ arch rival didn’t come into my mind once – and that’s probably the biggest compliment I could pay it. Battlefield is once again comfortable in its own skin, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier.
Battlefield 1 is a great game recommended to all gamers. The campaign is great but too short.
Battlefield 1 is a rarity, a game that in my humble opinion, has most certainly lived up to the hype.
Battlefield One is a worthy addition to the Battlefield franchise, harkens back to the days of Codename Eagle and is a great game with an interesting single player.
"EA DICE’s bold decision to turn Battlefield 1’s campaign into segmented “War Stories” has massively paid off, with a variety of battles from many countries both captivating, heart wrenching and enthralling at the same time. Uneasy load times aside, Battlefield 1 delivers the greatest single player campaign in series history with a multiplayer element that brilliantly compliments it. "
With a campaign that tells a tantalizing story, and a multiplayer mode that belongs near the top of its class for the series, fans of the franchise have plenty of reasons to keep coming back to this until DICE releases another game. Battlefield 1 takes me back to the Medal of Honor era that I thoroughly enjoyed and quite miss, and makes me realize how badly we needed a historical setting once again in today’s first person shooter market.
I went in to Battlefield 1 with admittedly low expectations. I was excited about the setting, but I had my doubts that DICE could execute on it given their recent track record. Thankfully, DICE not only does justice to World War I, but refocuses the series as well. Battlefield 1 does a great job of getting back to basics, and it's aided by some fantastic map design. Overall, this is the most fun that I've had with the series since Battlefield Bad Company 2, making it one of 2016's best shooters.
Battlefield 1 still offers players something that they can’t find anywhere else and this installment is without doubt the best looking Battlefield game yet. Partnering up with a squad of mates and methodically taking over points on the map truly immerses you in a very dark and gruesome war. Whilst the campaign may be short but sweet, the multiplayer modes are as strong as ever.
In a genre that is so flooded with big budget titles the only way to stand out is to do something completely different and hope it pays off, and that is exactly what DICE and Battlefield 1 have done.
Battlefield 1 is an incredible experience, both in the remarkably varied and excellent multiplayer modes, and the meticulously well-crafted and fantastically written War Stories for you to experience.
"Simply put, I haven't had this much fun in a Battlefield title since Battlefield 1943 and haven't enjoyed myself in a shooter like this since Resistance 2. The multiplayer is above all fun and the campaign is as exciting as it is traumatizing. The sounds, sights, and atmosphere all scream in unison of a job well done by DICE. This is easily my favorite Battlefield so far and I see myself playing it for a very long time. Rocket League and RIGS will sadly have to make some room. If you had to choose just one shooter this year (let alone for the foreseeable future) Battlefield 1 should definitely be high on your list."
Battlefield 1 feels like a massive improvement over its predecessor, and a genuinely great shooter. The single player campaign is fresh and exciting, and the multiplayer component rivals the series’ best.
