Gonzo's Game Reviews - Battlefield 1 - PS4
Alright gents! Lest our commanders start giving us the business, shall we go drive back the bloody Hun?
Jerry is quite saucy today so grab your 8mm rifle and let's bring a victory to our homeland!
Seriously though, for once EA might've got something right.
The music, the graphics, the vehicles all feel wonderfully accurate.
The weapons? Well, you still have to appeal towards the 15 and under crowd. I get that.
However, I own two rifles from the time period that they utilized in this game and I have to admit, they sound and look quite accurate.
Let's start with multiplayer since that's always been the crux of the battlefield games.
I like the fact that you can have huge battles of 64. However, I've found a new love. The pidgeon capture. You run around like a pidgeon with its head cut off until someone in your squad (or you) captured the bird. Then shit hits the fan. The goddamned Hun comes after your ass and unless you have a great defense set up, your bird won't deliver said message.
They have included the same old boring modes like capture the flag or team COD *I mean team deathmatch. However, the point of playing this game on multiplayer is to work as a team to capture an objective. Many of the players online right now know this and I've had a lot of great games.
If you're into multiplayer, I highly recommend you get this game. Just don't be one of those asshats that buys the "super premium get every gun" edition. That's just showing off that you don't have the patience or skill to rank up, douchebag.
Campaign:
It's probably what sold me in this there's no way in hell I would've bought this game if it didn't have the campaign mode. Now then, it's only about 6 hours long but I have a feeling that they're going to add to it. You can play several different theaters of war at any time so it's not linear. This makes it easy to add new missions and new stories. I think they just wanted to see how popular a WWI setting would be with the pew-die-pie/Call of Duty generation.
All in all? This game runs smoothly on my console, it has a few issues regarding multiplayer asshats running like a bunch of ****heads but I still enjoy it when actual strategy comes into play.
I give Battlefield 1 a solid 8 out of 10.
Maybe some of these snot nosed kids will actually learn something about our forgotten generation.
