Battlefield 1 is an interesting specimen in the modern era of gaming. A time period no triple A developer had dared to go, a premise some would say is foolish, and the brand of one of the biggest First-Person Shooters ever. So how did it turn out? Well, let's find out....

I remember playing Gallipoli as Ottomans and desperately defending the final objective for 10+ minutes straight. Squads and Squad leaders were literally shouting orders over voice chat while entire swathes of brits were being gunned down by that one dude in the static MG. It was one of the best MP games I ever played.
The multiplayer is still like this, man. Tons of players and very fun
@@BananaPhoPhilly just found my way back and its crazy how much fun it still is
I had so many memorable moments myself. I remember the last sector of the Alp map where the defensive team have that crazy strong base at the end. It was nuts because we were on the ground trying to push through the main wall of that base, but had constant machine gun fire around us with fighter biplanes overhead, but this tank came out of nowhere from our team and started to suppress the fire for us to jump the wall and take the main courtyard. We ran past him and his team for the building and the underground tunnels just to see the tank get blasted to pieces by the biplane's bombs. Just a crazy scenario to see and I have so many other moments like that such as storming the beaches, pushing with four other squads through the trenches of the green hilly map, or ambushing enemies in the forest map.
I was the medic class and I had to revive a lot of people including squad mates whiles being theres gunfire and grenades being tossed at me and still remember that
Bro that exactly how it happened with me
As an Australian I found it really awesome to see Gallipoli represented from Australian perspectives. So often we see English, American, Russian etc in video games, but rarely Aussies, especially something as important to us as the Gallipoli campaign. It means a lot to us.
Whenever I play as commonwealth Soldier close to Turkey, I feel like I Am a Kiwi or an Aussie myself, You guys earned your place in History!
Australians have proven to be some of the world's best soldiers time and time again. Having worked with them on a few occasions they really are made of something else entirely.

I like to imagine that the italian mission is so ridiculous because of how its a story the main character’s telling his daughter. That’s why every time she gets scared he tells her about his impenetrable armor
It was actually slightly accurate. The Italians did attempt to have soldiers covered in thick metal to then charge and gain ground. While the overall design was different (I’ve never seen images like the one portrayed in the game) there are real photos of soldiers having armor in WW1.
the irony of the fact that the Farina armours were famous in Italy for being absolutely useless in open combat lmao

Alex The Awsome If innovating means releasing an unfinished game at full price and avoids what people like about WW2 and Battlefield...then yes.
I think WW1 really lends itself well to Battlefield. WW1 was known for how it turned small villages and luscious fields into empty lifeless no-mans-land. Battlefield with its destructible environment reflects that perfectly. I've had operations on St.Quentin Scar, in which most of the village and the windmills were reduced to piles of rubble. All the bombs, shells and explosives had torn craters into the earth. One more thing that sets the Battlefield franchise apart is the gameplay with vehicles. In WW1, each side fielded new vehicles to give them the edge and break the stalemate. You can really get a feel for that when you have been struggling to take an objective but then a tank shows up to lead the attack. Often you'll see people running behind the tank to use it as cover. Some of the tanks have surplus seats, so they can act as a mobile spawn point for the entire team. That way, a single tank can create a new frontline. One thing that is unique to BF1 is how it treats the conflict. BF1 doesn't just put you in a battle on some imaginary map and says "have fun". The game tells you what lead to this battle, why it is important, how the people fighting in it thought and how its outcome changed the course of history. It this context that makes your actions feel so important.
We need a COD WAW like game in WW1
Spot on. The game is not historically accurate per se but it is accurate to concepts that shaped WW1. Another example is Beyond The Marne. The French has access to shit tons of tanks in that operation, which is based on a battle that's famous for the use of tanks. While the tanks the French team may be using in the game may not be accurate, it really gives the feeling of how tanks played a huge role in that battle.
Well everything you said is on the mark about but however Bad Company 2 had more destructability
I felt like watching this again. Btw the Italian story is an actual story😭😭 it’s over the top, but it’s a good representation of how in ww1 and 2 there was very little stop time. You never stopped fighting and even when you did, you where just waiting for the enemies turn
Battlefield 3: Best Maps Battlefield 4: Best Gameplay/customization Battlefield 1: Best Atmosphere.
straight truth right here
I completely fucking agree
Fuck yeah
BF4 was the last Battlefield game that actually felt like a Battlefield game.
Bf4 isn’t accurate. Bf4 had the MOST customization, not the best. That’s not a good thing, considering there were many attachments that all functioned the same, but just looked different. Just put the best looking attachments with each weapon and cut out all the junk. It also heavily relied upon lootboxes instead of a progression system for the customizables, so that’s a negative. BF3 or bad company 1/2 could also hold the gameplay title as well.

@@thedonkey6704 facts.
I love lines included such as, "The war for oil continues to this day". This connects this war story to a current affair that is still relevant in the eyes of the people, and so players are interested in this.
in the war stories, i didn't need a bunch of time to grow with the characters. i was able to tell the devastation, the hurt, the anguish, just by the atmosphere and character portrayal. the war stories show the brutality and unforgiving nature of war, such as the desperate hope of the tank captain in Through Mud and Blood as he blows the lines of Bess, or the anger of Clyde Blackburn as he struggles with indecision in No Mans Land. i found myself almost tearing up in The Runner when Bishop meets his end. hes happy to pass the torch, accepting of his successor and his fate. he knows its the end, yet he still smiles in the face of certain death because he knows he did what he could. battlefield one had, what is in my opinion, the best take of singleplayer campaign in any battlefield game. not because of gameplay or story, but because of the themes, the emotions, the characters, the quotes, and so much more. not to mention one of the greatest opening scenes in gaming history. i know this is a wall of text, but i mean it when i say that battlefield one is that game that you can go back and say, "yeah, i remember that. i played that."
Fun fact: Many soldiers in the British Army during WW1 lied about their age to get into the army. Now there are a lot of underaged gamers playing BF1
Haha good point
Another Fact: During WW1 in Serbia. The Serbian Army allowed an 8 YEAR OLD boy to enlist

BF 3 and 4 were closer to masterpieces than BF 1
I honestly I really like it when fights become slow or even grind to a halt because it reminds me of the actual irl battles, you had a strong fast attacks that slowly ground to a halt and become slow, like having to clear out or defend trench systems. It balances out the combat
I love that when an operation stagnates at one point, the area gets progressively more war torn. Like, after 30 mins on one checkpoint, the ground is riddled with explosion holes, and all of the structures in the area have collapsed.
This game is historically accurate enough to get you interested in the actual history, and that’s all I care about tbh
This game has the most cinematic multiplayer I’ve ever experienced.

I really like history and games and I understand that you don't want it to be too realistic or historical to make the game still fun
Exactly. I don’t think enough people understand that if this game were realistic, it would literally just be one side camping the whole time with mostly scout class weapons while the other just get their asses beat. Maybe after a few hours, or days, or weeks the the roles would switch up. There’d be basically little to no vehicles (especially if you were on the Central Powers’ side). And the ones you do have would probably die of engine failure in the middle of no man’s land. And, if it were realistic, the majority of the gameplay wouldn’t be spent fighting. You’d get to repair trenches, hide in dugouts for several hours at a time from artillery barrages or spend several hours loading artillery, be on guard duty, execute dying horses, spend several hours stealing food from nearby towns because your rations haven’t arrived yet, and best of all, maintaining the local latrines!
I can understand why there are usually no campaigns about Germans or Japanese in WWII games, however in a game set in WWI, I was actually hoping that we might get something from the Central Powers POV as well. I really feel that was a missed opportunity.
“Props to the Harlem Hellfighters. I didn’t even know they existed.” You see, thats how to tell the unknown, unseen, and untold. Not what BFV's shown.

"Bitch!"
18:55 The only thing i kinda don't like about Bf1 is that the story mission are all (with one half exception) from the entante perspective. The central powers are eather mostly ignored or actively villafied. They even have that really good set up in the first mission/tutorial where you will switch between soliders from different nationaleties to show that everyone suffered in that war and nobody was truly the bad guy. But then as the mission go on they elemnt is lost more and more, the germans at best get some funny dialouge you can't understand without subtitles, the austro-hungarians (wich are only displayed as being austrian and never hungarian) are practicly ignored. And the ottomans are displayed as being nothing but rapists and murderes. Don't get me wrong i love this game, they clearly had an idea of what they where going for and they most certantly did it better than most other games but they just dropped it. They then added this perspective change for BfV just to prove that they COULD have done it. So yay we get to humanise the Nazis, becouse that's what everyone wants but the turks or austrians? Fuck no.
Woah what? Since when is there anything about Turks being rapists?
Well, to be fair, The Hungarian part was kinda just for show. The Austrians were still calling The shots, so it KINDA makes sense to have them be a tad bit more Austrian. But other than that i 100% agree with you
The Central Powers absolutely were the bad guys, though. They committed genocide against the Armenians, Greeks and Namibians, slaughtered Belgian civilians, attacked civilian ships, used chemical weapons, treated the ethnic minorities in their nations terribly, etc
@@brotastic8601 I think it would've been a nice attention to detail if the Aus-Hun sides had multiple native dialogues such German, Hungarian, Croatian and Czech. Like a soldier goes to say something in one language and another just asks in confusion cause he doesn't understand. We've got to remember that Aus-Hun was a very diverse empire, it's partly why it couldn't stay together, and thus had soldiers from all of its territories that made giving commands and just overall communication very difficult
Avanti Savoia got me really emotional at the end, my great grandfather fought in WW1, his entire division annihilated he was the only survivor so it really hit me what these guys went trough also would have been cool if the added multiple voicelines for the italians like dialects because WW1 is what helped to form the "italian language" before people spoke dialect and some are completely different from italian something like PIGLIA, HARTUCCE instead of PRENDI, MUNIZIONI or similar things like in sicilian or similar

And here I am, 3 years after this video released still playing BF1. Such an intense multiplayer feeling with all the chaos.
As someone who this game not only got into history but writing as well, I can safely say that Battlefield 1 operations is the PEAK of battlefield, and this game is my favorite of all time. Not only did EA and DICE make it stand out for its ww1 setting, but they pay an INCREDIBLE amount homage and dedication to the history and interesting things of World War One. An era practically forgotten by most FPS games and glossed over in schools, I can’t even begin to describe how much more this game alone got me into history and an introduction to battlefield as a franchise. Operations is so chaotic and infuriating but when it ends, no matter what side your on, the ending speeches feel straight out of a documentary, not to mention how it gives you the perspective of the soldiers which I just think is really cool. And the behemoths were a really good addition, sure most of the time they don’t make much of a difference and usually die within 5 minutes, but when you get to pilot a dreadnought and get 50 or so kills is just so satisfying, just as satisfying as destroying the behemoths, the animations of them alone is just great, the sounds the dreadnought makes when it sinks, the creaking and groaning as it slips beneath the waves, the massive explosion of the Char 2C and the collapse of the Zeppelin, it’s just so good. Not to mention the DLC’s, how it doesn’t only focus on one front, even the base game touches on the Italian and Middle Eastern fronts, but Turning Tides, TSNP and In the name of the tsar? Every one of the DLC’s felt so damn unique and had me stoked to play it way back when, Apocalypse was meh but still great, I could go on for literally hours explaining how much I love this game. It did so much right, it has so much dedication and passion in it and you can EASILY tell. again, it is my favorite game of all time HANDS DOWN. Because it’s truly a brilliant, magnificent game. Far better than BfV and 2042.

I love the soundtrack to this game. The flight of the pigeon is one of my favourites. And the scene accompanying that was stella
One of my favourite multiplayer games because of the chaotic feel and sense of scale and fear it can instil in you
"would you have prefered a game where you sat in the trenches all day and you are constantly pummled with mustard gas" Hell yeah that sounds like a pretty awesome horror-FPS game
DivinityOfBLaze sounds like verdun (the game) if you ask me
@@benno._.72 yeah
@@benno._.72 Sounds like a boring ass game - > Verdun
you gave me an idea
@@cantingvenus2 Is not that boring. Is a bit hard because is pretty realistic (trenches, carges in the no man land, die in literaly in one shot) and it can be hard at the first matches, but once you learn how to play well and how to use the various types of weapons you can get a lot of fun. I think that if you like ww1 and you are searching for a game that try to be as much realistic as possible, you should at least try it ;) try to search for some gameplays on Youtbe
Codename: Eagle (Grandfather) Battlefield: 1942 (Father) Vietnam (Uncle) Battlefield 2 (Son) Battlefield: 2142 (Nephew) Bad Company 1 and 2 (Nephew's kids) Battlefield: 1943 (Adopted) Battlefield 3 and 4 (Grandsons) Hardline (Stepson) Battlefield 1 (Great Grandson) Battlefield V (Child of pregnant smoker) Battlefield: 2042 (Abortion)
The pregnant smoker being EA and the child being DICE.
The best part is that Battlefield V isn't even a part of the family
this would imply even hardline is better than battlefield 5. Lets not get ridiculous.
Jebus it’s not ridiculous, hardline is soooooo much better
Jebus according to the www, Hardline sold more than BFV on launch
The actual reason I got bf1 is because I love ww1 games, and having a battlefield game set in it, was just pure delight for me
“Remember us” still gives me chills for a year (yes I am a newer player to the battlefield games) so much that I IRL salute them all at the end. o7
Battlefield 5 is just a bootleg version of battlefield 1

Battlefield 1 was the internet’s prayer. We were fed up with COD being futuristic, especially with Infinite Warfare releasing that same year. Part of the reason BF1 did do well tho was how badly IW did
Doi Doi That was the reason I got BF1. I had bf3 and 4 but didn’t exactly play them a lot. After waiting forever for a good cod game I decided fuck it I’m buying battlefield. BF1 is one of if not my favourite game of all time. But this goes both ways as I assume a lot of battlefield players like me have switched to cod because of the disaster of BF5.
Ben Forster still not playing modern warfare camp fest of a game it’s horrible. Just kept playing the older battlefields and rainbow.
Jerome Schlinger i haven’t experienced as much camping in ground war, at least not anymore. I don’t play any cod traditional modes because as you said it is most definitely a camp fest.
Ben Forster ya I agree warzone at to bad but the base game was one of the biggest waste of 60 bucks. The only good thing about the game was the campaign. I tried ground war and was the worst experience ever everybody camps on the roofs with one shoot snipers without bullet drop. then after a week I went back to battlefield
Jerome Schlinger well I’m not gonna lie and say that I didn’t feel the same way at some point. I did the least ideal action and decided to try to adapt the way I play. I don’t know if there are still campers on roofs as much anymore because I have played the maps enough that I know how to avoid them anyways. However even in ground war you don’t get the same feeling of all out war than in battlefield. The environment in battlefield 1 is unbeatable and ground war is most definitely cod just on a bigger map. Battlefield has an amazing talent of making you feel like your in a movie. However ground war doesn’t capture that same feeling however personally I find it fun anyways.
This is the only game where I got goosebumps from playing the multiplayer
When you were talking about how the defence is stronger on some maps, I just had to think back on how I was part of a desperate defence on conquer hell. We were down to the last sector and the enemy still had a lot of reserves and all 3 battalions. But against all odds and with constantly shifting battle lines, we held the line for ze glory of ze kaiser! Anyway, wanted to share that.
I like to think for Avanti that since it's being retold by the guy to his daughter as a story, he made himself out to be much tougher plus the armor as to reassure his daughter that he wasn't close to dying but in reality was.
It's obviously propaganda. Italy wasn't that good in ww1... *12 battles of the isonzo for example*
@@AB-bg7os They weren't excellent but still badass and courageous, as much as any other military during that horrible time.
@@AB-bg7os I saw this on the trailer for the upcoming ww1 game isonzo, thought I would share. "Generalissimo Luigi something is using this game as crowdfunding for his 111th battle of isonzo river".
@Andrei Salvaleon YOur talking about a country that regained its independence from the ottoman empire when it was still a thing. It still was credible.
@@Birdman369 you have the same first name as me lol
The opening of battlefield 1 will always stay with me. I remember the first time I played it, I had no idea what would happen. There was a real sense of fear and anxiety. I was thrust into a battlefield, without a safe place, without explanation and with a weapon I know nothing about. The unwinnable nature scared me and I was panicked. Then the ending when they lower their weapons. Gave me chills and I stopped playing for a bit when it was over. The bit that sticks with me is "You are not expected to survive"
You are one big pussy then
dude this is way too deep for a ww1 game where 99% of the weapons are automatic
I enjoy games like that. Halo:Reach was another one that did it pretty well imo. Objective: Survive
I think an underrated factor of the game is the music. So badass.
I still to this day think this is the best trailer ever released. like i was in the back of my work van taking a "break" just watching this over and over again with my apprentice.
Lol the beginning scene reminds me of an Angry Joe introduction.
The Act Man has actually said a while back that he has been inspired by Angry Joe
Except it didn't drag on for too long
lol ikr
Sort of a rip off
I was gonna say the same thing xD
9:32 legends say he’s still reloading his rifle to this day
Celebriting birthday and reloading
Act Man. Best videos ever. I've found myself listening to your videos lately during my commute. You sir, are the best on KZhead.
Great video. I think this game has brought a lot of awareness to this part of history. In terms of gameplay, one thing I love is that each class feels overpowered in the right situation.
Act man: Mentions PT boat Me: *flashbacks to world at war* My ally: TAKE OUT THOSE F***ING PT BOATS!!
me: IM FUCKING TRYING
Cowieman25 Moo! Me to me to
Save those men and TAKE OUT THOSE FUCKING PT BOATS

You discovered “forgotten weapons”? One does not simply discover gun Jesus.
I knowwww I started motioning the cross after I saw him.
All hail Gun Jesus!!!! 😂😂😂
@@TexasHellcat1836 amen my brother.
He has been chosen bg gun jesus
I watched this, ignored this part, and have now watched it again months later having found gun jesus.
verdun is what got me into battlefield as the trench warfare and old weapons aspect was really a really new experience compared to the other fps games where everyone had a full auto gun
Honestly adding experimental and weapons we know existed with a single photo is really awesome seeing how ww1 could have been which I think is cool some guns I never knew existed I had no idea sub machine guns originated from the trenches but makes sense
History lesson in screaming on the battle field. Soldiers did actually scream during battle to hype themselves up and also put fear into the bones of the enemy. It also helped getting the last bit of strength out they're bodies. That's it class have fun and stay hydrated
Still present today in things like Karate
@@PsychoDog_Music or jiu jutsu
Isn't getting every last bir of your strength out... Hyping yourself...
@@lxeedye7one662 not really hyping yourself up is building energy do do
I can only imagine how tired and miserable so many soldiers felt. When I hear stories of marching through the freezing cold, starving to death, and to trying to make it somewhere where you'll only be surrounded by horror and death it just makes me all the more thankful for every single day that I'm blessed with food, shelter, and my family not under any constant threat or anything. Even as crummy as life can seem, most of us here are still so lucky. I wish we'd all remember that and help lessen the world's misery.
"I absolutely love Bolt-action rifles" *Proceeds to use a Lever-action*

Eh close enough. They're both manually operated rifles.
Oof
Do people really have to point out stuff like this, especially in this way?
@@user-zy3dh4cm5r yeah
30:32 personally my favorite moments are when both teams are fighting tooth and nail to win the game and in those moments even if my team loses the offensive or defense im still left with that rush of achievement knowing both sides gave it their all.
that pigeon scene always makes me cry. i know im a sucker but man that scene just hits so hard!
The war stories in this game genuinely made me emotional sometimes and I’m not ashamed to admit that
Gamers Home definitely. Bf1 had a legendary soundtrack

@@LinkRnr1 we need a expansion pack that Has Indy voice over the Codex Entries.

I watched their videos on WW1, subbed to them early 2016.
Jeez, its been years and the bf1 ad still gives me chills
Battlefield 1 and 5 are my favorites, this is mostly due to the opening scenes on the story. The stories are the best parts, and the weapons are Soo cool to use due the realism in it. The sounds in the background and the visuals are insane and I love them, the maps are insane too, there then best games in my opinion. Also, WW1 is one of my favorite events because there was not one bad guy side like WW2, because if anything, both side were the bad guys, it was literally Imperialism vs Imperialism This just shows how far they fell off in 2042
We got a 'why Republic commando deserved a sequel' but where's our *WHY Star wars republic commando was so good*
Sgtsmith - yes
Eh, kinda the same thing
Why am I hyped now for a game that’s been out for years?
because it is truly the best of the best battlefield game ea have ever made. Bf4 is fun and all, but its not as good as bf1.
Because it's a MASTERPIECE...
Its on sale on steam i think. Your lucky.
I actually bought it at GameStop for 99 cents no cap
Got the ultimate pass on Xbox for 1 quid and it has this game on it I'm so stoked
I love to come back to this legendary video every now and then
As happy as I am you mentioned Gun Jesus' KZhead channel Forgotten Weapons it hurt my soul immediately when I heard Bad Company 2's campaign and Boring being in the same sentence
What I loved about this game is that every moment feels like you’re playing the trailer. It’s crazy, chaotic, explosive...it captures that feeling of storming the trenches with your brothers in arms every time you spawn in.
I could not agree more and if you really like that feeling titanfall 2 recreates that feeling just as good
The only other game to every make me feel like that (to a slightly lesser extent at that despite how much I loved it) was titanfall 2. The level of intensity felt when trying to defend a fortress in operations or the feeling of badassery of riding a horse through the back lines cutting down the enemy cannot be matched. The war stories were perfect. The maps were beautiful unique and actually provide good gameplay and depth for tactics. The weapon design is phenomenal. They were so satisfying to use.
@@markneillmusic9082 dude Tf2 made me feel exactly what you’re talking about
Yes and I really do feel like I’m in a trailer when it’s operations and their are no tickets left and I’m on the defending team
@@donslykong7312 it really does feel the same
As someone who is more on the "historical accuracy" side of games, I can say without a doubt that Battlefield 1 did an incredible job. Hell, they were even able to be diverse without pandering to anybody! The 1st Russian Women's Battalion of Death, the Harlem Hellfighters, people from French-occupied northwestern Africa, the list goes on. What sets this game's inclusivity of a variety of people and groups from other games is that it does so when it has a reason to and is still accurate to the time and setting. That's one of the main reasons why Battlefield V pissed me off so much. Instead of a British woman with a prosthetic arm wielding a cricket bat in WW2, why not include Lyudmila Pavlichenko, aka Lady Death, a female Russian sniper who had 309 confirmed kills? What about the French women who fought? They were in extremely small numbers, but they were a thing. Historically accurate inclusion is fucking awesome, and I love when games do it. But inclusivity for its own sake is terrible and cheapens said character's presence in the game's setting.
I think the main issue with Battlefield 5 is that the character stole the achievements of real heroes, the mission she takes part in was a real one that involved real men who sacrificed significantly to make it happen. It's grossly insulting to take that success away from real people, especially when (as you say) there were real female soldiers they could've used
I would have loved it if you played as the russians in the attack of the dead men And the serbs when they were fighting the austriahungarians
chill
Very well put
Yeah that's true although there were still triggered racists complaining about a Harlem Hellfighter soldier was on the front cover. Can't please everyone
You know what I love about the opening skit? The ACT Soldier's expression when he charges for a second time and how his CO is simultaneously resigned and proud.
