Battlefield 1

Operations succeeds as an effective educational primer on the battles that this gripping adversarial mode are based on. Battlefield 1 is just an introduction to one of the deadliest world events in history, but it is an outstanding, feature-rich package in both its emotional stories and strong multiplayer.

It’s an absolutely fantastic game. It shows the courage to break the mold of the established FPS settings, by bringing forth a nearly forgotten era, that comes packed with a lot of charm of its own. On top of that, it does so with tight and impactful gameplay that will keep the fans busy for a long time.

The World War I setting is a refreshing change of pace to the space shooters currently dominating the landscape. In an era dominated by modern military and sci-fi shooters, Battlefield 1 going back to the Great War is a refreshing change of pace. After 40-plus hours with the riveting multiplayer action, I’m still eager to charge once more into the breach.

Battlefield 1 might not be the best Battlefield game, or the best FPS game I've ever played, but it succeeds at doing what it needs to do. It feels like Battlefield, it works like Battlefield, and it has plenty of opportunities for amazing things to happen that have only ever happened in a Battlefield game.

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.

Battlefield 1 remains a fulfilling experience on par with this year’s other premier shooters. I get the impression from some commenters out there that I’m supposed to dislike this one, but I’m going to have to disappoint them – Battlefield 1 has provided me with a damn good time and I don’t regret it.

I went full history nerd when this title came across my desk and having the ability to play a piece of what I consider living history has been a real treat. Everything from the unique presentation of the campaign mode, to the ridiculously insane amount of vehicles, to the sheer awesomeness of Conquest had me hooked from the minute my console booted up.

Battlefield's tried and tested multiplayer feels wonderfully at home in the WW1 setting, and the solo campaign tells interesting - if historically lightweight - stories.

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.

Though the “1” in its name may officially stand for the Great War, it could also represent the rebirth of a franchise that took a bit of a beating with Battlefield 4, went down an awkward path with Hardline, before finally rising as the Battlefield title that simply all shooter fans must buy.

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

While the multiplayer rightfully chooses to be a fun shooter first, the campaign tries to strike a reasonable balance on this front, delivering a memorable series of war stories that drive home the cost of war. And while it can't resist urge to go over the top at times, in doing so, it at least delivers one of the best Battlefield campaigns to date.

There’s very little to dislike about Battlefield 1. What the game is at its core is a beautiful-looking and exciting period shooter that will give fans of the series (and those that have been clamouring for a AAA historical FPS) hours of fun. Whether in the single-player or multiplayer modes, the game delivers a top-notch experience.

Battlefield 1 is a triumphant return to form for the series and a must-have for any first-person shooter aficionado.

Battlefield 1's campaign is thin as ever, but most will be on board for the multiplayer, which – while simplified compared with recent entries – remains practically peerless when it comes to delivering intense, large-scale battles.

Battlefield 1 ha cumplido con nuestras expectativas y ha creado un videojuego sobresaliente. El multijugador ofrece variedad y novedades en los modos de juego, un acabado gráfico sensacional y lo más importante, una jugabilidad que, pese a ser continuista, ofrece novedades y se siente igual de divertida y realista.

Todo el drama de su corta y a veces inconsistente campaña, sumada a un multiplayer increíblemente sólido y lleno de variantes que seguramente se robará gran parte de tu tiempo, hacen a Battlefield 1 sea uno de los juegos más completos de este año. Al final, esta experiencia se mantiene fiel a la franquicia que representa, por lo que si estás esperando un cambio radical sólo por el contexto histórico que nos presenta, temo decirte que este no es el caso. Si eres seguidor de la serie, seguro que ya está dentro de tus prioridades.

Multiplayer ist aber ein Meilenstein. Nicht, weil er Dinge neu macht oder verändert. Sondern weil er sie verfeinert und verbessert. Einheiten-, Waffen- und Fahrzeugbalancing sind in diesem Jahr fast perfekt gelungen und noch nie war die Schlachtfeldatmosphäre auf Online-Karten so dicht, dass das Geschehen sich intensiver anfühlt als manch eine geskriptete Kampagne. Es gibt zwar auch einige kleinere Bugs und Ärgernisse, doch die fallen im Gesamtwerk nicht störend ins Gewicht.

Jouissant d'une technique extraordinaire, à la fois visuelle et sonore, ce nouvel épisode est signe d'aboutissement pour DICE, malgré quelques problèmes venant parsemer l'expérience console (filtre grisâtre sur Xbox One et quelques saccades sur PS4) . Sans eux et sans cet "oubli" des armées française et russe, Battlefield 1 était tout proche du chef d'oeuvre vidéo-ludique.

Avec Battlefield 1, DICE réussit à efficacement dépoussiérer la franchise, malgré un contexte de Première Guerre Mondiale qui aurait pu limiter le gameplay du fait des armes de l'époque. Librement adapté, ce contexte historique permet de faire repartir la série sur de bonnes bases avec pour la première fois depuis très longtemps un mode solo réellement intéressant.

Battlefield 1 est une claque de réalisation et de plaisir, parfois limitée par un contenu que l'on aurait aimé plus dense et plus fourni concernant la version de base. Son multi est assez riche pour tenir le joueur sur le long terme et son solo repensé s'avère intelligent et bien fichu, loin des classiques campagnes de héros survitaminés. On aurait toutefois aimé en voir plus à travers des War Stories plus nombreuses et plus longues.

Bien moins versatile que ses prédécesseurs mais produit avec un soin et une volonté d’intensité, Battlefield 1 a tout gagné en se recentrant sur son coeur de jeu. Faisant en quelque sorte un lien entre Bad Company 2 et la paire BF3 & 4, cette mouture est excellente en tous points : des cartes aussi belles que bien conçues, des sensations arme en main géniales, une réalisation tout bonnement grandiose et un jeu en équipe qui poussera sans cesse vers l’avant.

Battlefield 1 não só consegue ajustar a temática escolhida à fórmula tradicional, como ainda encontrou um modo de a enriquecer nos dois principais modos de jogo. A campanha traz-nos um curto mas delicioso retrato histórico, do ponto de vista humano, numa sessão de preparação para um multijogador como sempre imponente, e que continua a ter tanto de metódico, como de caótico.

С моральной точки зрения любая игра о Первой мировой обязана хотя бы намекать – та война должна стать последней. Battlefield 1 же вопит: ЕЩЕ! ЕЩЕ! Больше колючей проволоки и воронок! Бомбы! Минометы! Три миллиона снарядов за пять часов! К Рождеству победим фрицев и поедем домой, ребята, пить эль и щупать девок!

Although the single player mode in the game is relatively playable everyone, there is a multiplayer mode that will require long waktulebih to be mastered. But, if you managed to reach that point, then the first Battlefield game will be a very rewarding and have a class of its own. Highly recommended for those who want to find an authentic war experience.

Naast een erg leuke singleplayer is de multiplayer van Battlefield 1 ook echt fantastisch. Het leveldesign is erg verbeterd ten opzichte van Battlefield 4 en de balanstussen alle elementen is bijna perfect. De toevoeging van de behemoths en de nieuwe game modi dragen alleen maar bij aan de fantastische chaos wat Battlefield zo mooi maakt.

DICE heeft met Battlefield 1 op alle vlakken een voltreffer te pakken. Online werkt het prima en grafisch gezien is het één van de beste games van het moment, zelfs met 64 man. Ook de singleplayer weet sinds jaren eindelijk weer te overtuigen met iconische momenten die we nog lang zullen herinneren. Dat de AI en de moeilijkheidsgraad dan wat tegenvallen, nemen we voor lief. Dit is namelijk het enige wat beter had gekund aan Battlefield 1, de afwerking van de game.
