One moment I was in a tank, the next I was sneaking into a town, and then the next I was a carrier pigeon. None of these short stories will take more than two hours to finish, but this brevity means that Battlefield 1 cuts out the long slogs of boring combat that some modern shooter campaigns feel stuffed with. Every ten minutes I was moving on and doing something new, and it’s excellent. Instead, the script often mentions the futility of war and how awful it is… Even how many people died.īreaking away from the Call of Duty mold in other ways, Battlefield 1 does something different with its campaign by giving the player a series of vignettes that can be chosen in any order. Hell, most people’s favorite in the series, Bad Company 2, is a series of jokes set during a war. No so with BF1. The Battlefield series has long been chasing Call of Duty’s campaigns, and that often led to bland writing and attempts at epic-slash-global stories.
To its credit, Battlefield 1’s depiction of World War 1 and how it discusses the subject are more somber and respectful than I expected. I was excited to play a game based on a period of history that I rarely get to see in videogames, but nervous as hell to write about it because I know this war means a lot to people around the world in ways I’ll never fully understand. This lack of knowledge is why I was both excited and nervous about Battlefield 1. I can name WW2 battles, list the countries who fought, where they fought, how the war ended and so on, but not so with its predecessor. Our pop culture and education seem more obsessed about WWII than the first Great War, and I actually feel a bit embarrassed with how little I know about it.
LOW Some balancing issues with assault class.Īs an American, World War I is a bit strange to me.
