I still love how the British were able to stick two artillery pieces and 5 squads worth of machine guns inside a metal box with an exposed engine, and still make it move effectively.
Don't interrupt our tea break, what-what.
As ridiculous as the Mark V was when you look at it in a vacuum, it was positively sane compared to what the Germans did, put a tractor in a metal box, or what the French did, putting a metal box *on* a tractor (twice, the second one existing to spite the first one) even though Renault basically had a workable prototype of what would become the venerable FT.
As opposed to 3 machine guns and a autocannon on a plane that’s barely keeping together from engine vibration
The British design team has an continuing tradition of pouring their top quality tea into their blueprints of highly experimental armored tractor and then says " *F*ck it if it looks like it would work, then it will work. Trust me mate..* ", it did work fine in the battlefield and the Germans decided to capture hundreds or more British tanks who quickly realized that capturing the British tanks was much more efficient than producing their own tanks.. *And then proceed to make their own tanks and made it for better and for worse.* That's World War Juan for you, F to trillions of brain cells who have perished in the War..
Are you in Mac or am I schizophrenic? 🗿

The most underrated feature in this game is the Codex Entries. You get the entertaintment value in multiplayer but also the history of WW1 and its weapons, factions and equipment if you choose to dig deep. After playing this game when it came out, I never lost my interest for WW1 history and its many stories.
And they were done by the absolute legends at TimeGhost History, namely Indy Nidell
Same. I now have a strong WW1 itch and I love reading about the technology and development during that time.
The anti history of the main game is balanced very well with the codex entries which actually give insight into how the conflict played out. This is something sorely lacking in BFV unfortunately.
If you like dogfighting, play Wings of War. It's an old game, but it's a WW1 historically accurate dogfighting game. Absolutely incredible for what it was and there apparently still are functional online servers somewhere.
It's amazing how this game immortalized WW1 in a way that had never been done successfully since the publication of All Quiet in the Western Front
I love the behemoth aspect of the gameplay. The fact a dreadnought or zeppelin can be called in normal multiplayer gameplay is such an awesome idea. They’re fun to bring down and fun to operate. Plus the sound design with them from their opening cutscene with the lady announcing them and the fog horn blasting. Bloody brilliant
I completely agree. BF1 Operations had to be one of the most fun game modes ever
I would have to kindly disagree with you. I feel that the ship was the most useless one, only being a glorified mortar to annoy the enemy team with. The airship and the Char 2C tank were kind of useful though. You could navigate them to points and cap them and also clear out bottlenecks and resistance on the point. The train was dubious, on the one hand it could cap at least one point usually, but again it was a bit of a glorified mortar usually hanging back in a safe place instead of pushing the front line for your team. All in all, the concept of the behemoths were cool but the implementation of them was quite flawed.
@@freedomisntfreeffs fair enough but their inclusion gives such personality to the game. That’s why I was immensely disappointed in BFV when all we got was an admittedly cool V1 Rocket strike but just some other lousy airdrops and smoke barrage
@@freedomisntfreeffs Cool easter egg: the ship incoming sound from the fog horn is the Jaws theme.
The destruction of the Zeppelin makes me stop and watch it every time. It's awesome and terrifying.
Despite the historical inaccuracies, I always felt DICE nailed the atmosphere and scale of the conflict. Easily one of my favorite multiplayer games of all time. Thanks for the vid!
Yeah, they "gamiefied" the setting just right, beats sitting in a trench for 32 hours and dying to the flu.
@@user-go1sl6rd7u Or trench foot, which apparently can be horrifying, oh and the big rats in the trenches.
Sadly they butchered WWII atmosphere in BFV
@@histhoryk2648 They did. To be honest I can't think of many good WW2 games except for COD World At War. Although I'm sure there's plenty more.
@@histhoryk2648 Man, BFV makes me so sad. The gunplay and graphics were solid, and the Pacific update showed that they still had some nice environments to share. But all of the gameplay "tweaks," monetization practices and bugs put it in an early grave. Glad they left a skeleton crew to work on the game, in favor of developing their next title - Battlefield 2042. That sure worked in their favor 😑
One aspect I don’t think was brought up enough was the presentation. HOLY SHIT, no other FPS game has an atmosphere like BF1. The sound design is exquisite. The voice acting is fantastic. (Look up how they made the German voices, it’s really impressive.) The hail of gunfire, the screams of soldiers, the boom of explosions, and the grinding engines of vehicles. When the music kicks in, it’s go time, either because you’ve taken the point and your characters all scream as the whistles blow and you all charge the next point, or defense is about to win and the horns are BLARING for the last stand or desperate push. Each map looks gorgeous. Caporetto, Monte Grappa, Nivelle Nights, Somme, Verdun Heights, and so, so many more. From bombed out towns that will be left even more bombed out by the end of the match, to No Man’s Land with trenches and wrecked buildings lining the barbed wire hellscape, giant forts, and the most gorgeous vistas to ever die on. And all of it is enveloped by and drowned in absolute chaos, and oppressive brutality, and I love it.
Couldn't have said it better if you paid me
As for the artistic design, Amiens and Prise de Tahure as urban combat is INSANE. Somme is pretty much how somme was, an open killing field, if you stick your head out for more than 2 seconds you're very dead. And the top notch ww1 experience for me is Passchendaele. It represents everything that was horrible about ww1.
@@Dourkan No mention of how most Frontline matches in Verdun play exactly like Verdun? Cap C. Cap B. Get pushed back. Cap C. Get pushed back. Cap C. Get pushed back. Get pushed back. Cap D. Cap C.

@maxducks2001 you described bf1 and all ITS beauty in one comment…
Well done soldier! Now join the frontline, your comrades need you!
The real core of the multiplayer experience in BF1 is Operations. It concentrates all the chaos of conquest into small sectors, so you spend way less time trying to find the action. Also, very atmospheric

Even if not many companies pick the WW1 settings for their games, I'm at the very least happy that THIS one was made. That we at least have 1 WW1 game that isn't (like you said) barely playable, or some alt-history BS. This is such an amazing game, flaws and all.
It was all I wanted in a WW1 game, and I am so happy I got to play it.

There is a lot of political shit between the prime minister and the king of Italy inbetween, but basically the king pussied out. If Italy had attacked France on the south, even if not as effective as other armies, it would've been too much for the french to defend and they would've possibly capitulated not long after.

I love bf1 I am in love with it’s attempt at showing the horror and sadness of war. While it is a game for dopamine rushes as a first, the atmosphere and level of immersion you can feel is amazing. In operations whenever a sector is taken you are bombarded with the war cries of your comrades, the whistles of gunfire and explosions, and the amazing music. It’s one of the best feelings
If that gets your goat, try Red Orchestra 2 as well
Even tho the campaign chapters were short, i was really amazed at how memorable they all were. they made the most of it.
Wish they had just focused on a couple and made them much longer
Kinda wished you talked about the soldiers dialogue in multiplayer. I remember playing it when it first came out and rushing with a bayonet would cause your character to scream like a banshee. Your character even acts like his having a panic attack when being bombarded or shot at.
kzhead.info/sun/fstycqesaZ6lda8/bejne.html this vid really highlights the difference between 1 and 2042
I remember spawning on a trench under enemy fire and hearing other player character saying almost like crying "im so glad to see you still alive" just to inmediately be blasted by a tank and hearing just screams all around. I have never experience other game that could create such organic dread especially on a dinamic scenario like a multiplayer.
I remember pushing the enemy back in grand operations, and when you are allowed to go for the next sector and you hear the whistle and the war cries of your fellow soldiers with a triumphant orchestral tune playing, man it felt epic
The dialogue of your soldier and other players's soldiers varies wildly depending on context. Supressed, hurt, under fire, relaxed with no enemies around or even crouching and whispering for stealth. It is truly an immersive masterpiece.
I remember when i ran out of ammo and started swinging my melee in the enemy Their character started screaming something among the lines: -why did i come here, whyyy?!?!?? That kinda gave me shivers
As a huge fan of 1900s history seeing a AAA game take a shot at WW1 was so cool when the game was released, few games get me so hyped with the music and atmosphere. Shame that we did not receive any war stories from the Central Powers at least there was an attempt to humanize them in the intro campaign.
Meh
At least they did with the enemies story in BFV campaign But yeah, I think it's more suitable here because at least the Central Power was more neutral, making it more suitable for them to use them as a part of the story mode Maybe the plane mission was set through a German side where they are a part of a unit under Manfred Von Richthofen himself, and Gallipoli on Turkish perspective, protecting their own motherland from those ANZAC
The reason why I like this game is simple. When I've started it for the first time, it threw me into the battle... it told me - "You are not expected to survive.", managing my expectations. This is why, despite being absoluely horrible at this game - I have never EVER been frustrated with losing... because the game simply communicated to me - "You are part of the war machine. You are just a soldier, a spec of dust. You are not significant, you will die anyway." This set the way I've approached the game. Instead of wanting to be high on the leaderboards, I have instead played like I was truly that soldier on that battlefield. I was hiding, I was trying to sneak up on the enemy, I was avoiding combat to survive as long as I've could. Despite my best efforts I was never able to survive longer than 3 minutes. When I've got kills, they truly felt like victories, so despite having ratio of 5 kills to often upwards of 10-15 deaths, I still felt like I've accomplished something.
The early multiplayer game feels like that. When you get pro, it's no longer about surviving, it's about styling and doing as much cool shit as can possibly be done in one life.
@@brandonmorel2658 yeah, sometimes I like to try to charge in fights on horseback and trample people or cut them down with my sabre. Makes me feel like a badass. (also found my love of the Russian 1895 rifle for scouts)
The first hours of MP are unforgetable. Loaded to the Operation and was genuinly shell shocked from all the explosions around me. It gave me just a small glance at the fear and tragedy that these soldiers went through.
Lmao as a top scoreboard player i see you 5-15 kd ratios and it just hurts me. Then again I usually get so posessed playing this shit that I forget it's a game and everyone is free of having fun in their own way.
couldn't have said it better myself, this goes for alot of battlefield games too. the scale of the battles truly make you *feel* like a soldier fighting a war and makes you act accordingly
That Jason Blundell "did I mention" meme caught me off guard, man. Another great vid
5:00 fun fact, British Tanks were in a literal death trap. German Anti tanks weapons and units were trying to kill it while the British guns were aiming at them too in case the tank broke down and could be captured by the Germans. Did I mention how likely it was for tanks to brake down until the later versions ?
Verdun is pretty good. I like BF1 more but Verdun is more true to the setting and has a nice vibe (if you can find active servers lmao). Their version of push is pretty well designed and leads to some great moments. My favorite shit has to be the massive maze trenches, followed by a large open field you have to cross. Melee combat is also pretty fun (and viable) even if its jank lmao. Honestly I'd love to see Tripwire make a WW1 game. They already did a great job capturing both WW2 and Vietnam without them feeling too same-y.
The game is still doing well on its native PC and there are at least 1-2 full matches on either console for the three titles for the series. It’s just the sad proof that a historical fps will not do well unless it’s a fast-paced run n gun with goofy blinged out camo(not to mention it’s just 5-6 Dutch guys in a rented out studio and not a AAA title with thousands of employees, also I know BF I doesn’t fall into that category and both games were fun). When you look that it through that lense it’s more impressive what they did come out with. Also dudes using pre-2020 footage which the current form the game is in is actually pretty well polished looking now. The game went through several graphics updates over a period of near on a decade and a half. This is no hate towards BF I, I equally enjoyed both it and Verdun for what they were and Operations mode absolutely knocked atmosphere and immersion out of the park. Especially with the pre-battle speeches of your avatar sitting in your first line trench and hearing your commanding officer shout over artillery and gunfire going off.
The two soldiers from the prologue can be seen as memorial statues in the BFV Campaign. The statue has the text "The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children." I thought it was pretty neat as it foreshadows the second world war.
KZhead did a terrible job recommending me this video 2 days after release. A solid video that really got me a bit more curious about WW1 history. Humor mixed with some additional information that feels way more fun and educational than what I saw in highschool, seriously how the fuck does one fail to make WW1 history boring? My school was not good at storytelling, but at least you've stepped up your editing and analytical prowess for this video. A big improvement from the previous and I feel like you've found the perfect balance between humoring the audience while informing us about WW1 that makes the video fun even on a re-watch. Keep up the great work man.
Even the sponsor had Battlefield 1 on it
"a Czechoslovakian taxi driver took a wrong turn, and now 20 million people are dead" I bot hate and love how that is an accurate summary
To be fair, the first silencer (yes he called it a silencer) was made by the same guy who made the first machine gun, Hiram Maxim. Obviously wouldn’t have been used in any sort of number to justify their appearance as far as authenticity goes, they did technically exist!
This game is, in my opinion, one of the best fps games ever made. It is so immersive and there is so much detail put into everything. Every life has the chance to play out like a movie, and you can really tell how much care the devs put into the guns, sound design maps, balance classes etc. The only issues however would probably be the classic EA monetization schemes for dlc weapons and game version- which isn't really unique to the game, some weapon balancing, and grenade spam
10:48 A Jason Blundell joke in a video about Battlefield from a channel I’ve just found was the very last thing I was expecting today.
The sawed off LMG is pure pain, like assault reeeeallly needed another good full auto with a massive ammo count.
Smg 08/18 is bollocks. And I absolutely hate to have 30 stars with it.
@@Dourkan its inconsistant for sure, when its bad its BAD but get into proper range at the perfect time and it really makes you wonder why Assault gets so much ammo for their full autos
Doesn't have that great range, has pretty poor damage falloff, and has pretty bad horizontal recoil. It's extremely effective up close but every other class will beat it beyond 20m.
To be honest the relationship didn't zip around like you said between the two Aussie blokes, they just interacted like Australians do.
Everytime this guy uploads I watch his new videos 3 times and go back and rewatch his older videos 10 more times they are just that good 😂
I'll never understand why there was never a bandwagon effect of WW1 media after BF1. It's like they hit a gold vein of ideas and then immediately ran away in terror of their new ideas.
Suppressors were a thing by WW1 but they werent widely used
One thing as well that no one ever mentions when bringing up Battlefield 1, is the codex entries. You’d unlock them when using weaponry, gear, playing new modes, maps, etc. when unlocked, you’d be given historical information on said item you did if for. For example play on Fort De Vaux, unlock a codex explaining the actual battle for the fort during the Battle of Verdun. These little historical tidbits not only show people context for what they’re using or what they’re seeing, but get people interested in the overall game and conflict, as did I. It could be the entrance to the rabbit hole of learning about the First World War, what led to it, and the aftermath. To anybody who read this far, have a good day👍.
One thing I gotta give to this game, is the voice acting. I only can understand the Italians, englishs/englishn't, and a tad of German, and I have never heard Turkish in my live. But man, hearing the characters went they are in fire,gives the chills. And the Speeches before an Operation begins is top writing. There is also the OST. It made my favorite music genre, Audiable Stress. The only thing the campaign needed,its a German episode
For a war that had no good or bad side it was really misrepresented as the Central Powers being the bad guys. At that time all countries were imperialistic, racist, anti semitic and they opressed minorities, in fact one could argue that Britain and Belgium were way worse than Germany. It should've really had more war stories from all sides. I find it disturbing that the french, even though they had the 3rd highest military casualty rate (just behind germany and russia) were not represented. Same as the russians and their monumental effor to the war.
They had a chance to recreate a Red Baron type story or even that of a Tank Hunter. It was a chance to create a bunch of individual battles against truly impossible odds. Granted... FPS campaign storylines generally tend to be pretty basic.
That's because "muh central powers are evil!", Can't mention the Lusitania being loaded with war supplies or Britain starving the civilian population of Germany, or Italy executing men for "cowardice" (retreating after suffering horrific casualties)
“My source is that I made it the fuck up” is KILLING me.
I think the Avanti Savoia chapter is perfectly described with your italian accent at 14:05
Thank you for shining a light on those cockroaches who spam the SMG08 and nothing else. For gods sake, just check Battlefield Tracker, Assault has ZERO balance, the usage is comically lopsided, 60% of shotguns, is JUST the Model 10A Hunter. And Hellriegal and SMG08 overwhelmingly dominate too, with half usage of the whole class. And I am a medic, I heal, I revive! Whats worse then not being revived is wanting to revive people and they NEVER let you....
I believe in M1917 Trench Carbine supremacy.
@@weezersthebluealbum9479 I do like that one, but for marksmanship on assault I rather like the Ribeye Roller :D that bypod and sight is great.
The sound design and voice acting alone makes this the best Battlefield game in the franchise, by far. The commitment to (mostly) historical accuracy and the sheer immersion that so many of the maps and environments are capable of have basically never been topped in the genre. That this game isn't praised more for its sheer gravity is astounding to me.

The Top Gear moments in this review really emphasize the sheer brutality of the First World War. Thank you for bringing this hidden truth to light, Black Yoshi.
4:30 - fun fact, this isn't actually the first time Battlefield has used this mechanic; Battlefield 2's singleplayer console port Battlefield 2 Modern Combat prominently featured the "hotswap" feature which basically allowed you to control any friendly AI on the battlefield. Need some air support? switch to the guy with the helicopter. Want to play tanks? swap to the guy driving the tank, etc. The only difference was that you could actively swap between characters mid-fight, rather than having to die to change perspectives.
World war 1 is like terminator 1 it's good but the sequel outshine it
I absolutely adore battlefield 1 and put so many hours into it back in the day. One aspect of gameplay which wasn't mentioned in this video but is surprisingly fleshed out in the DLC maps is naval combat. You have torpedo boats, destroyers which come in two varieties and dreadnoughts, plus naval bombers equipped with torpedoes. It often gets overlooked as most maps don't feature a lot of water, but I've had an absolute blast with squads commanding a destroyer in maps like Heligoland bight
Yes! One of the coolest moments in multiplayer was flying the bomber a bit above water, dropping the torpedo and watching from the plane as it hit the side of a ship. The naval maps were some of my favorites.
I play with friends BF1 sometimes and hunting down vehicles is propably our favourite stuff to do. When naval match starts, it's rush to the torpedo boats.
When this game first came out in the fall of 2016 I played it non stop, my GF at the time would lose her mind because I would be up until 2am repeating the phrase “1 more game”. And With conquest it’s never 1 more game. Recently I bought the game on sale in the Xbox store for $9.99 and have fallen in love with it all over again, my then girlfriend who’s now my wife has told me she gets flashbacks/PTSD when hearing the British female voiding say “return to the combat area” or “the enemy is taking Charlie”. Now in my early 30’s instead of my mid 20’s I can gladly say this is still one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played, the music the gameplay, the visuals and sounds. Great video
Hey, man, maybe «Verdun» and «Tannnenberg» can be better WW1 games.
So happy you finally reached the big 100k my dude. Earned it.
Nothing is Written's stealth section is best described by: Step 1: Locate tank Step 2: Steal tank Step 3: Effortlessly destroy all enemies Step 4: Profit
I think the war stories being cut short was actually a good design decision. When you're in the minute by minute, nitty gritty struggle of war; it feels like its consumed your entire life. Just like the stories do in the game. But when you zoom out, and truly think about it- your time spent in the field was naught but a blip on your life. 4 years isn't that much time, but in those 4 short years it felt like lifetimes. So why should the stories be any longer? Short blips, of ordinary people doing heroic things. So they could make these stories longer, but they shouldn't. [Edited] Although I will admit yes, NIW was rushed.
your writing and pacing of videos is getting really good bro, comedy as well
5:17 is one of the most haunting shit scary sound tracks ever made given the context and noise of the whistles and explosions in the background.
My favorite battlefield game. So immersive, so intense, fun to play.
I just wish there was a central power campaign
They will never allow the “losers” to be seen in a positive light. Not in the post-war era. Now they are afraid because people know.
@@ArgonNoble Battlefield 5 has a German mission. And those Germans were actually bad guys.
@@andrewleah1983 Millennial detected. Opinion discarded. You guys are almost as worse as Baby Boomers.
@ArgonNoble What an utterly brain dead response.
@@irarelyupload6930 Only the best for Millennial Andrew!
This is the first video I watch from this channel but I love it,it feels like a internet historian but in a more memeable way and just funnier
Bro really just slapped the hell out of WW2 nerds in the beginning, and I love it
I love when any story just kills characters randomly, it's Realistic and such a fresh breath of air in a world full of supersoldiers and never ending character stories.
I'm not gonna lie, battlefield 1's trailer was quite possibly the most hype game trailer I've ever witnessed. I still get a tingle in my spine every time I see it
Same
I loved when you’d level up during a round of multiplayer, in game teamates around you would congratulate you. It was pretty cool
This is a great video! BF1 is one of my favorite games ever. However, I would have liked to see your thoughts and emphasis on other aspects of the multiplayer. The atmosphere is a huge part of it with many of the voice lines from each faction, the speeches that take place before each match begins, the music, behemoths, a lot of the dialogue, and the many battles you can play through in the multiplayer operations.
Operations was the best game mode especially on the Verdun map. For some stupid reason Dice patched out the speeches that would play before the game started. It really added to the atmosphere
What? Why would they do that? That's lame.
@Todes Schnitzel I actually do remember that change and I didn't like that either.
@Todes Schnitzel Oh yeah lol! Some people would.... put a lot of effort in their profile pics.
@Todes Schnitzel Plus the relief you feel, after being shelled for 20mins straight, with the constant thought of "I am going to die right now!"
they have it in the base maps, plus the french dlc maps
Respect the restraint of waiting until 11:05 to make the mandatory blackadder joke
Absolutely loved this video ! Definitely bing watch your other vids
“They are cut way too short to fulfil their fullest potentials” That’s literally the point
I used to watch no HUD hours of gameplays just for the stunning visuals.
something that bugged me about the campaigns (aside from the points you made) is that we never get to play from the the Central powers point of view. There was this whole thing about the human cost and suffering of the war in the marketing and intro mission and then we just spend the whole thing from the perspective of the Entente mowing down hoards of Central powers soldiers.
Just as an extention of the single player, one must also commend the effort that went into the way around of Operations starts, with short unique introduction quips with accurate aaccents from the country you're fighting for. The photogrammetry tech and amazing sound design made this one of the most immervise Battlefiled - if not game ever created
thank you for bringing up the storm of steel prologue i genuinely wish they could have kept up the intensity of that one mission throughout but i also understand why they couldn’t and that doing so while staying enjoyable is super hard to do
I am an avid Battlefield 1 player - it is interesting to see just how many people have played the game (it's THE best selling Battlefield to date), yet few years from release, barely anyone talks about it. I feel like that's how it usually goes about every great Battlefield game. Which is a shame, those games deserve to be played and can bring you so much incredible and memorable moments you'll never get in anything else. The video was entertaining, even if you mostly focused on the single player, I appreciate it.
Battlefield 1 is one of the best examples of how a game could have terrible balancing but can still be great because it focuses on one thing.... being fun.
The intense battle responses are still some of the best battlefield Voice acting in forever because they did it for every faction.
Necrovision review when? I love that game, even interacted with the devs at one point on a semiofficial forum back in the day.
I think what made the sniping in this game unique is the sweet spot mechanic, wich if you hit them in the upper area of the body (with Headshots being the obvious one) there is a chance to kill them in one hit, no matter if you either hit the torso or shoulders (I think)
It was a really cool mechanic for snipers. Some rifles having the sweetspot 80 meters or 60 meters away, nudging them to stay closer to the action. Or you could just take an unscoped bolt action with 40 meter sweetspot and go aggressive. Gave the class nice options other than sitting still far away.
also the sweet sound of popping the helmet off someone with a headshot is so satisfying
The sound and satsifaction of one shotting someone with a sniper is unparalleled to any game, even more when it's a headshot. The sweet spot distance depends on the rifle itself, the only rifle that kills to the shoulders and lower torso is the Henry Martini, aka the cannon rifle. If you want to sweatlord tryhard quickscope you can SMLE Mk3 or Ross it with iron sights. Or if you feel extra spicy for headshots the Gewehr 95 is insanely fast.
@@Dourkan I used the fuck out of the Gewehr 95 bolt action rifle to snipe people from a distance. I even had a over 300 m Headshots while sniping. But it was a bit later, bc I mixed it up with the pull back action rifle of the Gewehr. You know the one like Ross Mk3
I still remember when people called this the worst battlefield when it came out, good times.
This game was (like every DICE game) a horribly unoptimized, buggy mess. I still remember being super pissed on release, but after about a year it ran smoothly on my turd PC
I swear I've seen you in lobbies before. At least once. Been a fan of BF1 since it came out and haven't stopped playing.
A black Yoshi video keeps the voices at bay and the depression away
You’re right, I always felt the campaign was too short. We need some more development. Maybe an interesting dynamic similar to the prologue where they reference your previous character in the next mission as having died in action
Makes me want to play Planetside 2.
Playing Planetside 2 makes me wish the devs saw it as the lost cause it is and made Planetside 3 already.
The best memory with any of the campaigns was during the finale to “Friends In High Places” right at the start I see the airships and start going full throttle, not knowing there were enemy planes right ahead. So when both sides collide into a dogfight frenzy, I blew right past all of them yet almost failed the mission because in a moment of panic I hit two of the planes. Absolutely wonderful
One more detail that I found interesting is the flametroopers trying to take off their fuel canister after it's been shot and about to explode before blowing up and killing everyone around them.
Finally, a new black yoshi upload. Things are now beginning to make sense.
Thanks for the shoutout!
No problem!
One great thing that I believe should have been more emphasized in the video is the immersive design of people screaming, sound being perfectly chaotic, soldiers crying for help when they get hit, whistles etc. First time in my life when I played bf1 and we were all stuck like a meat grinder, I literally stopped shooting for 2 seconds because I would hear soldier next to me getting burnt by a flamethrower and shouting for mercy for their life... Like, wow, they did an amazing job on that aspect.
I hope your channel grows bud. I laughed alot in this video. Good job.
First sseth and now black yoshi, damn.
I love battlefield 1 to the point it's why I got into ww1, despite its quirky "what if it extended to 1919" weapons. 10/10 game.
Those weapons from 1919 are actually not from ww1, but from the Russian civil war. That's why some of the maps from the in the name of the tsar dlc are white Russia vs red Russia.
@@edwardking9359 oh, shit, you're right. I always leave out the Russian Revolution and smaller conflicts after the war.
that clip from Come and See gave me some serious flashbacks...
thats one of the most creative sponsor i´ve seen
he finally got enough money to buy a good pc, extremely proud of my boy.
My best clips and killstreaks are from BF1 and I think that's when competitive FPS games peaked for me. EDIT: Upon my endeavors to reinstall and replay the game I have had nothing but issues with EA and the net code. It took 2 & 1/2 hours and 3 different pakis to get any kind of results from technical support to reactivate my account. And once being able to play again, the net code is virtually unplayable to the point where I've had better input response from a PSNow cloud streaming game. (Keep in mind I've had a physical copy since 2017) Sad because there's still very clearly a lot of players but the servers are put on the back burner because we aren't BFV/2142 simps.
Thats dice team indeed put so much effort in to this game. I love grand operations mode.
I would love it if you checked out the Ace Combat series. Really good games imo.
Incredibly based
And after that - Project Wingman.
One of the best, if not the best Battlefield game ever made.
Hell yea schwarz yoshi🔥🔥
First video I watched of yours and I liked the review soo much you earned my sub! 👍🏻
