Review: Battlefield 1 (PlayStation 4)

Battlefield 1 takes you back to The Great War, WW1, where new technology and worldwide conflict changed the face of warfare forever.

Pros:

• Absolutely stunning graphics, Really is the best looking Battlefield to date.

• Campaign has 6 war stories to play through.
• Multiplayer-Operations, Quick match, server browser and custom matches.
• Multiplayer modes-Conquest, Domination, Operations, Rush, Team deathmatch and war pigeons.
• Atmosphere is that of a darker more grittier time. The game depicts a much more visceral experience and you get sucked right in.
• Extensive controller settings from deadzone to swapping buttons, To being able to tweak every movements sensitivity. Its the most comprehensive settings list.
• War bonds- Currency used in game. You earn them from leveling up and use them to buy your new gear and weapons.
• FOV slider.
• Can change cross hair colour for each thing like hits and head shots.
• Easy to use UI and front end. Actually marries all the Battlefield games in one front end.
• Soldier load-out allows you to have 3 loud-outs per class.
• Weather changes during matches including fog and heavy rain.
• Collectibles in campaign- codex entries and field manuals.
• 10 base multiplayer maps.
• Medals in mp. Medals change every week and see you do set objectives and earn bonus EXP.
• You can invite and squad up with a total of 4 mates making it 5 total.
• You can do battlepacks, and viewing menus when matchmaking.
• Can collect dog tags from enemies in mp.
• Bayonet charge attack. Scream as you run and impale your enemy.
• 30hz and 60hz servers available.
• Operations are a series of games that take place on multiple maps and tell a certain story. You have 4 operations to choose from. There is a 2 map operation or two 3 maps and one 4 map operation. Can be played as a 40 or 64 player version.
• Really fun to play.
• Horses! Now you can ride horses and use your gun or swap to a sword!
• Powerful weapons spawn in mp, Flamethrowers, Anti tank etc.
• When dead in MP, You have a notification telling you if a medic is nearby and how far away.
• Rush objectives and powerful weapon drops actually rotate there spawn locations. Really mixes the game up and changes it a lot.

Cons:

• You don’t get battlepacks for leveling up.
• Slow loading times. Like really slow even for things like quitting a game or joining one.
• To squad/group up you have to join a party chat as well. This was used in Battlefront and it was crap in that as well.
• IAP for battlepacks.
• Not many if any, 60HZ servers.
• Annoying that gas and fire come through walls and floors.
• Gun play takes some getting used too. Its a lot slower and unforgiving than previous games.
