BATTLEFIELD 1
They called it the “war to end all wars”, but it could offer a new lease of life for Battlefield. While still widely beloved, DICE’s flagship series has arguably spent the past few years under a cloud. Battlefield 4 was a great game perhaps the definitive Battlefield, if only in terms of sheer detritus but it is remembered as much for its rocky online performance at launch as for tumbling skyscrapers and tidal waves. Leaning on the example of Netflix crime shows, Visceral’s spin-off Battlefield: Hardline turned the series into a banter-ific bout of cops and robbers, but was censured for it's casually authoritarian politics on the one hand and shortage of proper
military-grade hardware on the other. Battlefield 1 is set not just on the
Western Front, that torturous warren of craters and barbed wire where
millions of soldiers lost their lives from 1914 to 1918. It takes you all
across the face of the war, from the forests of the Argonne to the crisp
peaks of the Italian Alps and onward to the Arabian desert.
