Bought the game on saturday for my weekend fun since I'm exploring germany right from monday to friday doing my duty for the country.
I thought it's going to be a complete teenager fun shooter with no real facts about the first World War and all kind of prototype weapons and science fiction guns, typical meatgrinder maps and horrific fast-living gameplay. And kind of, it is.
Still, I really have to say that I haven't had so much fun with videogame for a very long time, MGS V was great but way too commercial and killed the best videogame series in my opinion, Far Cry 4 had it's nice story and countryside but was over way too fast and Battlefront II, well, it was Batllefront II....
Battlefield 1 has a huge potential to be an awesome game, the graphics are a blast, the destruction is driving me insane, the vehicle spawn system is perfect and the self-repair makes tanks and planes much more valuable for the player. They even were able to put a blasting atmosphere in the game, I mean, the distance sounds, the effects and the screaming soldiers really get you into the feeling of war.
The balancing also works out great, every team has the same guns, vehicles and the behemoths are game-changing. Plus there are many things to play around with and do foolish things (flare gun, flamethrowers, horses...), the typical battlefield feeling I missed for quite some long time.
It sure is disappointing that the historical facts are missing, I mean, MP18s with what appears to be a reddot sight, axis tanks for the entente and the over way around and many other things. If you are just looking at the game though, it sure is worth is money, games nowadays are sadly fixed on making money and not teaching you history but that's how it is and I accept that.
Don't want to miss the next battle in amiens, lurking around the ruins with my sniper rifle, putting down booby traps and hunting for enemies in the narrow roads, filled with gas, blood and screaming soldiers.
