UGH!! It’s time for another WW2 FPS that we’ve played a 1000 times. Will this have D-day in it? Wait… This isn’t WW2 but takes place in World War 1! Fuck yes I’m in. Hello everyone B-rod here again to talk about the latest Battlefield. EA has said enough of this modern war, and you guys didn’t buy enough copies when we did future war so let’s do a war that is hardly ever covered in the media World War 1. If you’re like me a love history knowing the historical facts about how truly brutal and terrifying trench warfare is would make you super excited before this game came out. Sadly you can’t really make sitting in a trench for weeks into a game, but what they did came out fantastic. The game actually has a story, unlike typical FPS stories where you follow one character who somehow is at every important battle in history you follow five different characters all from different countries, all different styles of gameplay. You follow the British tank crew, an American pilot, an Italian soldier who plays like a walking tank, a Australian sharpshooter, and a Syrian I believe that is hanging with Lawrence of Arabia. This stories are great little snippits of the war and all play out as if you were watching a short film with these characters. The story isn’t super long, but because the stories are all so different in gameplay it acts as a tutorial to the multiplayer. That what everyone gets Battlefield for the the multiplayer and I must say holy shit is that fun. I personally love this multiplayer because it really captures the hecticness of war. There are times you are in firefight were bullets and explosions are happening all around you, and then out of the blue some crazy asshole on a horse comes charging at you, and you forgot to reload… This gameplay seems authentic enough to how battles were fought except the zero trench warfare. This is just me, but I do with there was either a story mission or a beginning of a multiplayer segment where you must jump out of the trenches and full on charge at the enemy encampment. Load in your pants dropping fun. The game only had a couple of hiccups in the multiplayer, and the vehicles never to seem to be overpowering, but if utilized correctly can be very dangerous. I personally had a great tank crew for over half a match we were the scourge of the battlefield. Until the enemy team had us outnumbered two to one in fire power, but it still was just the greatest experience having that badass tank crew that can mop the floor with the enemy team. The game looks beautiful, with the guns seeming authentic honestly with the decade of WW2 shooters I only know that era of guns, and not so much The Great War era of weaponry. Overall if you’re looking for a fantastic large scale multiplayer look no further than Battlefield 1. If though you’re a more single player focused gamer I’d honestly say skip even if you’re into historical games or were excited by the trailers. The singleplayer is so short that it acts more like a tutorial than an actual single player experience. I personally hope World War 1 turns into the new thing FPS shooters milk because I’d love to see what they can do with that era. Until next time folks.
