After an invigorating romp through the Great War in 2016’s Battlefield 1, the teamwork-focused series returns to WWII with a game that promises more gigantic maps and insanely addictive gameplay.
First up, the single-player War Stories campaign returns, with four vignettes to play through (one of which will be available as free DLC in December). From going behind enemy lines with a salty squad of Cockneys to sneaking through the snowy mountains as part of the Norwegian resistance, chapters are nicely varied, and give you different perspectives on a war that’s well-trodden in gaming. They effectively introduce you to different gameplay styles, and are acted well enough that it doesn’t feel like a glorified tutorial.
