Battlefield 1 Angry Review

what what are you doing what is that it's some fun no what is that this is an automatic weapon joke what's wrong with it it's battlefield one its World War one it's fine everybody's [ __ ] running around with no medical evidence I don't know every your on everybody Joe go back no one's gonna be standard is your eyes don't see me go back behind your standard rifle go back soldier you disobeying orders you over the track dammit don't what the [ __ ] are you doing another machine-gunned another [ __ ] assault rifle you notice time what is this this is uh this is French it's a famas yes I know it's a famas the French are never in the game Joe good bangle that I bought that wool wool one gun for this goddamn review and you're gonna [ __ ] use it's [ __ ] sweet it doesn't matter goes up everybody go back go back that's more like it Joe you ready ready we're gonna love this thing whatever Joe let's go guys I am ridiculously impressed with battlefield one it looks amazing it feels amazing and it plays amazing dice did a wonderful job in giving us something different but also instantly familiar with it setting the entire game makes a very strong first impression but I gotta admit it does eventually give way to some of its faults making it a bit less of a legendary game than I was initially expecting now that's not to say that it's not polished hell this one worked at release far better than the infamous botched battlefield 4 release can we be on a team now or do you want me to spank you again everyone what what it what what am I look what am I looking at then do you see this on my screen right now do you see this [ __ ] here oh this [ __ ] here this [ __ ] is unacceptable and the triple-a levels sound design graphics and combined arms warfare that we all love are here in their full glory [Music] I just dodged that plane there are so few things that get my blood pumping like blaring my World War one whistle and charging the enemy positions while gunfire streaks by me in all directions the chaos of war just erupts in full effect it's awesome yeah the giant son of a [ __ ] Wow this game wow this game is fun [ __ ] emergent is amazing you're done good so let's start with multiplayer this time when we're reviewing now with your friends playing with you in your squad it is a damn cool experience that few other games can match I just love this squad based gameplay okay the fact that there are in most modes very clear objectives a sense of battle lines just combined arms this franchise is my go-to for my wartime simulations yes even over Call of Duty from a technical aspect it's amazing the dynamic weather effects the impressive looking explosion smoke muzzle flashes particle effects even down to the rubble on the ground it's all expertly crafted fully immersing you in its world this dish we're going to put the techno disco houses though there is perhaps a bit more casual Ness in it and some battlefront DNA thrown in there then I would have prefered yeah yeah come on come on deaf [ __ ] you got definitely fun the game is more inspired by World War one than any sort of real historical accuracy right fun is clearly prioritized over the way warfare was actually fought back then and let's face it real World War one wouldn't have been all that fun and here there's a bit too many automatic weapons and rare exotic you know things that that are over-represented they existed but perhaps over-represented and overall it feels it makes it feel more like World War two just with a skin of World War one over it and while that sounds like an insult it's really not that big of a deal in my eyes as I was getting a bit bored of the modern warfare so I was up for going back in time with a historically you know based on title or more of a hybrid like this one actually is so outside of the core combined arms and squad gameplay what makes this particular battlefield so fun to play well one of the single best additions to it is a new multiplayer gameplay mode called operations good game dude this is the [ __ ] coolest [ __ ] there's like all this extra [ __ ] this is the most fun I'm Adam battlefield sends Bad Company 2 there's the second phase holy [ __ ] if they won then that this would be over but we push so we get to go the next map that's amazing I love it this feels like a [ __ ] war dude this is great it really helps things feel like this epic war raging across multiple objectives multiple maps and areas and in it you have this clear goal to capture all of the enemy points pushing them back you have a certain number of lives for your side in order to accomplish these objectives and should you lose all your lives before taking all of the objectives you have two more battalions which are essentially two additional retries but this time with a blimp or a destroyer as backup it makes both attacking and defending incredibly intense as you desperately try to kill enough of the enemy before they overrun your position or as you fight back and before you run out of lives it is a perfect addition for the grand scale in battles of World War 1 I haven't had this much fun and the first-person shooter in a long time she did he jump over some other [ __ ] when he stole a coaster this is definitely reminding me of the old battlefield days people were complaining because Russia got like that she's number a player nerf but it was because of this of course there's most of all the original modes bf is known for rush conquest make a return as well as team deathmatch and domination which is essentially capture the areas that the the latter those latter two have some funky spawns which have those modes remind more of Call of Duty than battlefield but they are there for those who enjoy those more unpredictable Rambo based battles this is the reason why I play battlefield is that I can have a sense of war and battle lines and pushing and retreating and flanking you know that's why I don't really play Call of Duty all that much there is something here for everyone however one missing thing I would have appreciated more specific game modes on what we're more historical or maybe more roleplay like gameplay with trenches hordes of infantry no-man's land with standard bolt-action weapons going at it no no automatics maybe to one officer and while you get that in it's single-player sometimes there is a serious lack of that trench warfare in multiplayer and without custom third-party servers this is pretty much impossible to set up nicely y dice has decided to selfishly refuse third-party companies and the ability to host these servers that I would have created in roleplay is beyond me and it stinks of the company's console oriented decision-making so without this we have to hope that it's built in for us and outside of the new operations mode the only period type mode is seriously disappointing the fifth and final mode is war pigeons it's more of a joke than anything else teams race to find a pigeon on the map but you don't even get to see as you're holding him but you hold on to them for a certain amount of time before releasing him to deliver a message back to HQ it feels oddly comical it's frantic it's out of place though it is a good amount of fun I'm gonna admit to that in it but it just doesn't serve to scratch any historical itch I've got it guard me blame them all when we need to get out I need to go I'm going out I'm going out clear the way go over the [ __ ] door and the presence of hairlike units like the heads of heavy flamethrower guy they could take a billion bullets or the juggernaut class which can take more it can swing smaller matches in smaller player count modes and those guys will stay on the battlefield until death and that stuff is carried over from battlefront a little more casual than I'd like now in larger games they're less of an issue tanks still dominate as counters for them in the assault class feels a bit lacking here but perhaps this was done on purpose for this particular time period a feeling of the game a bombers has had an increase in health since beta but maybe a bit too much cuz they get often out dogfight fighters like 1 to 2 even 2 to 1 odds sometimes 3 to 1 odds but thankfully when shot with dedicated artillery trucks they can crumble pretty quickly so keep that tactic in mind horse gameplay is incredibly satisfying and fun although less useful and as an indicator of the times probably but it sure does get you around quickly and with style you know when you're not slamming into walls that is rides argh in it seeing the destruction and must talk about the destruction in this game it's such a joy to be whole from buildings crumbling and falling apart to huge Zeppelin's just crashing to the ground in epic fashion looks then oh [ __ ] the blimp is down blimp is down let's get it look at this [ __ ] sniper it is all breathtaking not since Bad Company 2 one of my favorite battlefields have I noticed this most destruction and have I had this much fun online okay but what about single-player it starts very strong with an awesome prologue which introduces you to the type of warfare it's taking a little more seriously it's shown from like multiple sides not necessarily these guys are evil it is a legitimately fantastic campaign filled with great moments oh [ __ ] alarm the [ __ ] Emma for all this god damn it get some armor on the bait show em oh damn it god dammit unfortunately it is so damn short then it lacks the full emotional impact that it was clearly aiming for shockingly it lasts less than five hours what the [ __ ] hardly enough time with any of these individual characters when there's like four or five of them in their individual store story moments are jumping all around you just don't feel as invested as you should three characters max would have been more effective with at least double or triple this current campaign length to ten or fifteen hours that would have been awesome it's absolutely anemic and it stinks of EI and dices continued you know late single player laziness or stin genus and you can see if it was just longer and more fulfilling it would have been amazing and that is where Battlefield ones biggest faults start to creep in its lack of content not well not as bad as Battlefront there does seem to be clear missing elements it's even displayed prominently and proudly on the multiplayer screen missing custom matches and missing multiple modes that just sit there and say coming soon and this isn't a retail full $60 game when you consider that you may have paid $80 or a hundred and twenty dollars or two hundred and ten dollars upfront this kind of unfinished feeling is unacceptable from the beginning progression initially feels good but the attachments and unlocks leave a lot to be desired especially after you're playing for extended periods of time which I wanted to do with this review you start to realize that there's no unlock depth and there's very little class depth each class only really has around four primary weapons yeah there's different variations but some of them are really not that useful and after you level to four in that class the only other gun to grab is at level ten that means in between four and ten there's absolutely nothing to unlock no weapons no customization it just feels empty and unfinished it's odd and don't tell me it's because all there weren't very many weapons back then Joe well if you do a simple google or wiki search you will be staggered by the amount and variety of weapons that actually did exist it's just it's almost as if they're holding back many of these weapons for future DLC or expansions and I'm sure some of those weapons are even finished and they're just holding them and then consider even that some of the wet weapons in each class aren't worth using as with others are completely opie like the final assault shotgun that's range in power so effective it is insane Donald 10 a factory it's so ridiculous and because it's the most powerful hitting shotgun it just [ __ ] destroys I'm a leaf on the wind I'm totally stealth and they do add custom skins from battle packs which very surprisingly currently cannot be bought with real money in the game Bravo yay I did not expect you to show restraint here but you did so credit to you thank you guys and these are earned rather through hard work and gang play which I like however at least more meaningful personalization and customization between levels would have been appreciated in addition to this he even if it was just more cosmetic stuff like this are you telling me I don't even get the whole item I gotta assemble a [ __ ] puzzle for $20 he gave me another white and a [ __ ] puzzle piece yay no please no yeah god damn this up-and-down roller coaster [ __ ] [ __ ] Vegas slot machine [ __ ] and finally there's a few other things that nod you like having to hold spacebar to respond quickly absolutely no joystick support for pilots is unforgivable tank commanders and those pilots get no real unlocks besides maybe one gun but nothing for their actual vehicles to customize as they did in pre past battlefields the metal system is all there for challenges that those could have resulted in something more rewarding like unique skins or our customization but they don't give you anything making them hardly worth doing and that's the same thing for the dog tags I mean there's no real meaningful point to equipping them I understand is to show off your achievement but just nobody really uses it and more incentive could have been given custom emblems right is only if you download their companion app and you have to create it in this real City app it's just it's just [ __ ] ok and finally I've noticed this very odd lack of population on the PC version with many official servers being straight empty and Road modes like rush almost impossible to find a game in at certain times a day and I'm not sure why I tested it it's not a bug I go in there and I sit and I wait and wait and wait and wait 20 30 an hour sometimes 5 or 6 people will show up and it's on because there is plenty of people playing the games stats are healthy when you actually look at them but I I don't understand what's going on there oh yeah the video freezes don't it just lacks in some content which is something I wasn't expecting to this degree but despite all this battlefield one still feels like a resounding success and I can still recommend it to any fan of military shooter or squad based game play a few more steps in the right direction like this from dice and I've no doubt that they will eventually nail that higher status the final verdict for battlefield one is a very solid eight out of ten with a badass feel of approval yes it could very well be a seven out of ten for some I can understand that but I feel the high amount of Polish the new world war one setting and the undeniable visuals and sound design make for a military shooter that cannot be passed up this year go out and get it just make sure it's the $60 version at map anymore isn't spending your money smartly okay and how EA can think they can get away with some $50 season pass to gain access to vitally important World War one armies like France and Russia and probably all the rest of the weapons in between level 4 to 10 it's it's kind of insulting so even if you like the game I would take a wait-and-see approach with some of that content until then I'll see you guys on the next and Greedo so the plan to play our shooting his legs new technology what the [ __ ] is this thing [Music]

I really hate the YouTube comment section. There all hating on the game like he gave it a negative review, yet he praised it while stating it's few faults. Disgusting.

[u/RoebuckThirtyFour]

That intro was beautiful

[u/nayn5]

Totally agree on the missing content aspect, where the hell are all the guns from level 4-10?

[u/darkknightxda]

That intro was amazing

[u/hornwalker]

A very fair review IMO. I haven't played through the whole game, and if you set the campaign difficulty to Hard it does take a lot more time to get through the levels(both in dying and playing more cautiously). 5 hours seemed short to me, even on the easy difficulty.

[u/Nerfedhands]

This actually was a fair review. And i agree on all points. Didn't care about single player campaigns that was not the reason i got the game but the rest of the stuff spot on.

Question, why is the danish flag used in the game for the operations gamemode? (at 8:57)
As far as my history lessons go, Denmark was reasonably passive during WW1, not doing any fighting. So why's the flag there?
