With the return of more than 100 years back in time, DICE has turned the Battlefield series with Battlefield 1 for a full 180 degrees and brought much-needed freshness in today’s multiplayer skirmishes first person scene. Instead of yet another modern or futuristic conflict where or running on the walls or knocking with robots, we are entering the battlefields of the Great War. No more different jets and helicopters, accompanied by guided missiles because they have been replaced with a flies static and anti-aircraft guns. Everything else remains virtually the same, actually known, which retains the existing fan base and attracting new because, World War I did not experience the popularity of what had next world conflict on a virtual battlefield.

Changing period opened the possibility of developers not only to try to experiment with expanding the roots that make Battlefield what is, but also get the opportunity to create a campaign unlike anything played. Unfortunately, neither has been used because it seems that the risk of changing a winning formula still was too high, because today’s budget needed for the development of AAA titles is too high. If nothing else, Battlefield 1 sets the foundation for how the future like addresses with high production should look. This is particularly evident when I say that the developers managed audio-visual surpass its previous title in the Star Wars universe. There can be no problem to witness a fantastic graphic scenes that simply call for stopping and observing the environment despite many bullets flying in all directions.

It is known that Swedes from DICE are not masters known for creating high-quality single-player campaign and while the Bad Company 2 proved to have some knowledge in the fingers, the past two Battlefield titles are equally disappointing in this field. It is this sequel that has offered a chance at redemption, because with superb graphics driver and the fact that it thematically lies in the territory which has not been properly explored in the gaming world, we have made good progress not only with the narrative part, but also the gameplay. Somewhat expected, DICE has once again managed to kill all hope in the single player field in terms of fun and memorable campaign so they shown us once again that they are still graduate and doctorate on the subject of multiplayer environment.

The first launch of the game, you immediately enter the campaign and go to the battlefield covered with scars of war where we witness the first attempts with which developers want to connect us with the characters and the horrors that come with armed conflicts. This would somewhat make sense if chapters or stories of characters from different parts of the world last longer than an hour. This whole aspect is done rather superficial because each story is too short to create connection, the whole gameplay concept was presented through the ‘one man army’ march like John Rambo nor John Matrix.

The First World War provided an opportunity for developers to try out something new and wild in the Battlefield series, but instead we’ve got the classic Battlefield experience with different equipment under the arms and legs. All who seek fun punching cannot go wrong with this game because they will get the ultimate visual treat that is especially evident with the dynamic weather change. In the desert maps can be booted sandstorm, at locations along the coast, we can witness a fantastic present storm, and the maps in the interior of the continent are hampered with foggy warfare.

But unfortunately, as far as multiplayer was impressive and even if it did not receive any significant changes in the gameplay that could be easily justified as a new era, DICE once again failed with a single player. Instead of showing the real war environment that is no longer limited to hardware, we get ‘one man’ scenario as that which is written by Michael Bay. Unfortunately, the developers did not have the courage to make at least one map or script in the right view of the Great War, where the trenches and the massacre in no man’s land were a significant feature of this period, but who knows, maybe we are waiting for it in the new announced DLC packs.
