Why Is Battlefield 1 SO AWESOME?! 

If we judged a game solely by it's trailer Battlefield 1 would be a 10/10! What are your thoughts on the game? ____TIME STAMPS____ Cheesy Opening Skit - 0:00 Introduction - 1:20 Historical Value - 4:30 War Stories - 13:26 Multiplayer - 25:05 Extra Features, Loot Boxes, Etc - 33:26 Conclusion - 38:41

The BF1 trailer literally sent me to the hospital, cause you’re supposed to seek immediate medical attention if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours.

"You're Australian, we're impossible to kill" Proceeds to lose war to a bunch of birds

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.

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.

“ it’s hard to mess up a World War Two game” that didn’t age well

Did he say “objective alpha” instead of “objective apples”...

I seriously can't stop coming back to this game. It's so satisfying to play, and every match feels unique.

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

27:12 "Theres so much freedom in how you can approach in any situation" *Return to the combat area*

Bf1 wasn't historically accurate but it was historically immersive, bfv does not do either

Battlefield 1 came out when I was in middle school. I’m a Sophomore in college and I still play all the time. Really goes to show how good of a game it is.

I remember during the mud and blood story, when they finally getting the tank running was such a success for me. Because I’ve never seen such desperation finally pay off

i really wish bf5 was like a ww2 equivalent to bf1

The best part of the game is.. ITS NOT ONLY THE US AND GERMANY

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.

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

“The dawn of modern combat!” Guy gets slapped with rock

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

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

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."

“ it’s hard to mess up a World War Two game” Vanguard so far : *Am I a joke to you*

Battlefield 3: Best Maps Battlefield 4: Best Gameplay/customization Battlefield 1: Best Atmosphere.

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.

2022, still the best shooter out there in my humble opinion. Fun, gritty, amazing setting, good historicity. Most satisfying kills as well.

This game has the most cinematic multiplayer I’ve ever experienced.

Me before Bf1: The germans were cool I guess... Me after Bf1: FÜR GOTT KAISER UND VATERLAND!!

This game is historically accurate enough to get you interested in the actual history, and that’s all I care about tbh

It's 2022 and I still play this game over new AAA games

BF3: Amazing BF4: GREAT! BF1: MASTERPIECE!!! BFV: wha...what is happening here..?

“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.

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.

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

*THE FOLLOWING IS FRONT LINE COMBAT* *YOU ARE NOT EXPECTED TO SURVIVE.*

"The Dawn of modern combat" *Proceeds to show a guy clobbering someone to death with a rock*

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.

"Battlefield doesn't pick a side." *All war stories from the Allied side*

"I love bolt action rifles" Shows a lever action rifle

12:49. I was a cadet in an Australian unit and when I received my slouch hat I did not let a single person touch it. My first ceremonial parade I got to pin up up just like that with the rising sun

Idk if its just me, but every time I see the part where Luca is mourning his brother, and that quote I always get tears in my eyes. This game is so damn good at portraying what these people went through and how awful war is.

9:05 "I absolutely love bolt-action rifles" *Preceeds to show gameplay of a lever-action rifle*

I love how the first level for the campaign starts with the message "you are not expected to survive" or something like that, that was honestly the best way to start the game for me Dying didn't reload your last checkpoint, if you died that person you were playing as was dead and you move on to the next guy just like how the war was, you die that's it, no do overs

This game is like playing a WW1 movie, that's how cinematic it can be at times and it holds up so well graphically even 7 years later and Imma be honest sometimes when the music starts amping up in operations I get goosebumps and feel motivated to win more lol

When you said each life can feel cinematic, it gave me flashbacks to when I was playing with my friends and I didn't die (or got revived, no actual deaths) for two games in a row. It felt so badass, and my squad was so upset when I got shot down in the third game and they couldn't revive me. What a game, man

"Australians are impossible to kill?" Tell that to the emus.

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)

I just replayed all the war stories and wow yea the Pidgeon scene hits so hard, you fly back over the battlefield you just fought thru and you see exactly what you did to the buildings and landscape. you see the tanks you rolled in alongside burning where you last saw them, and the thing that really hit me is how the Pidgeon just exists in it all. for the first time it made me think of the impact the world wars must have had on the wild life in Europe and the Pacific.

I love the soundtrack to this game. The flight of the pigeon is one of my favourites. And the scene accompanying that was stella

Dumb people: there were no black people in WWI Harlem Hellfighters: Am I joke to you

"Would you have preferred if Dice made a game where everyone sits in their trenches with a shotgun and you're constantly pummeled with mustard gas and artillery, there's no man's land and if you go out there you're dead?" *Laughs in Verdun*

the thing i like most about bf1 is the balancing of the classes. all of them have their place and are strong in their own regard

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.

That soldier and commander in the opening look a lot alike. Must be related

Act man: “waaay to much time” Shows 138 hours Me: “those are rookie numbers”

9:05 “I absolutely love bolt action rifles” **proceeds to show clip with lever action rifle**

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

My little small opinion: *Historical accuracy only really matters when the developers promisse a realistic game*

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

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 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!

one of the only games where the trailer translated directly to gameplay

Forgotten Weapons freaking rocks. It was very cool of you to mention the channel.

"He never got older, And here I am still. Who decides such things?" was such a powerful quote, probably in its truth. Everybody suffers in war. Regardless of the side.

“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

One of my favourite multiplayer games because of the chaotic feel and sense of scale and fear it can instil in you

Featuring the Harlem Hellfighters was literally diversity done RIGHT and in a non-woke, non-ridiculous way. Had arguably one of the most American mottos too: “God damn let’s go!”

You discovered “forgotten weapons”? One does not simply discover gun Jesus.

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

Act Man. Best videos ever. I've found myself listening to your videos lately during my commute. You sir, are the best on RU-vid.

Act man: Mentions PT boat Me: *flashbacks to world at war* My ally: TAKE OUT THOSE F***ING PT BOATS!!

Lol the beginning scene reminds me of an Angry Joe introduction.

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

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.

9:32 legends say he’s still reloading his rifle to this day

Fun fact: Every codex were written by the channel "The Great War".

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

Dude the amount of pride when you said (Conker's Bad Fur Day/Conker's Live and Reloaded), made a epic WW1 beach invasion and did it tight, among numerous other things earned you a clap out load! LMAO! EPIC, SUBCRIBED...

We got a 'why Republic commando deserved a sequel' but where's our *WHY Star wars republic commando was so good*

Battlefield 5 is just a bootleg version of battlefield 1

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.

I remember playing on Christmas day one year, at one point the entire server agreed to a "Christmas truce" where almost no fighting happened and players from opposite teams would meet each other and some threw health and ammo packs as "presents"

"I absolutely love Bolt-action rifles" *Proceeds to use a Lever-action*

"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

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.

There are a few good short films on YT depicting the German side (most after 44 where they were the most desperate) most of them are in German, a good example is „Verstaubt sind die Gesichter“, it’s a story primarily about a mg gunner in a Unit, sort of, but it’s really well made and a now 10 part series Ranging from Russia to occupied Poland

Act Man: "i love bolt action rifles" *shows footage of a lever action rifle*

"20 Million men participated in fighting the 'War to End All Wars'. It ended nothing." That quote honestly stings the most to me, mostly because of how harshly and coldly true it is (as it pertains to wars on the same scale and danger as WW1). I mean, WW2 happened right after and the extended Cold War with proxy wars in between happening after WW2... The first World War was a war of pointlessness and Sunk-Cost Fallacy, and kind of showed how everyone involved were in some way failing to learn from the past. EDIT: Some guy pointed out that I got the quote wrong and I double checked; they were right. So I changed it.

This is the only game where I got goosebumps from playing the multiplayer

I have played scout solely for the bolt actions. It felt so right to use iron sights and dump on players.

The war stories in this game genuinely made me emotional sometimes and I’m not ashamed to admit that

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

I have relatives that were from Austria. According to my grandfather, my Godfather served in the Luftstreitkräfte and I may have had more relatives serve. The funny thing is, my great grandfather immigrated from Austria, and served in the 3rd Infantry Division in the Mexican Border War and World War 1. I may have had relatives fight each other in this war.

The US also did far less in WWI so I am not surprised they talk about it less in history.

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.

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.

Every once and a while I go back to that game, just to play the campaigns.

you will probably never see this, but you talking about the war stories at 19:57 brought a tear to my eye. it is just so powerful :')

I still remember in 2016 when I was 15 I was giddy as a school girl to open the game and play it on Christmas. Will never forget that memory.

"Don't lie to yourself, you never played a World War 1 game" *Well, if Verdun doesn't count, I guess not?*

This video is abselutely hilarious, and very entertaining. U just earned another sub.
