My first and only battlefield game I’ve ever played…
The best thing that this game does is something which I personally find quite unique for triple AAA titles, and that’s the sense of respect and admiration towards the historic time in which its based. WW1 is probably one of my favourite topics I ever learnt in history class and I love reading and watching films about it (check “All quiet on the western front” what a wonderful film), and thanks to this videogames as well. Firstly, the visuals are absolutely amazing from the lighting in the war scenarios to the faces, everything looks gorgeous. The war stories were surprisingly good as I ended up genuinely invested in several characters and there is a fresh variety of places and plots to follow. Don’t expect some crazy new things to do but at least it gives you some very different points of view (all from allied forces though I would have loved a german POV) such as a tank driver, fighter pilot, or a horse-riding rebel against the ottomans. They are quite short but I way prefer this to a shitty and boring long campaign.
Now the online…I played this game 6 years after its release and the online was very active with lets say 8-12 almost full severs every time
I join. I’m not particularly good at this game or at any FPS but its extremely fun. Great variety of maps and modes, I don’t really care about the weapons (also don’t care if they aren’t realistic at all, because if they were then the game would be extremely tedious) but I love the choices of vehicle.
This game is beautiful to watch and feel, and probably for that reason I love it even though I’m not particularly fond of multiplayer FPS games. Occasionally I find myself playing online for a couple of matches when I fancy a grandiose old-school war experience, and the war stories are definetely worth it as well.
