BF1 got a lot of things right. And a few things wrong. And it really lacked any WW1 atmosphere. That said it was a really strong release, probably the best BF launch since I’ve been playing. ---

But it does lead into the criticism. You wanted another BF3/4 type game, and got BF1. Everything wrong with BF1 is what is different from BF3/4. You can never like BF1, because you keep thinking of the game that you enjoyed playing. Personally, I hated the fast combat of BF3/4. Older Battlefields weren’t as fast. So BF1 was a dream come true for me, and reminded me of when I first played BF1942. If I’m honest, if they choose to go back to the modern era, and make a game similar to BF3/4, I don’t blame them, but I probably won’t be playing it. ---

> [@ragnarok013](#): > > I went back to play BF1 on PC recently to see if I’ve been too hard on the game and I found the base game to be acceptable despite my long standing design objections and that my main point of contention was the players who absolutely refused to play their classes.

Sure there’s always been some people who didn’t play their classes in BF games but it was never as universal\systemic as I saw in BF1. It really makes me wonder if the BF1 players who are not playing their class are the COD refugees from COD AW who never “went native” when they started playing Battlefield. It seemed as if there were lone wolves everywhere too and few people actually stuck with their squad. That statement could be applied to any version of Battlefield. ---

Because an animation would trigger 5 feet out from when they actually make contact, leaving you do nothing but what till it’s all over. Short grenade fuses were convenient since you never had to time the fuse correctly, but that convenience caused people to use them in just about any situation which lead to explosive spam. ---

I was quite clear that all BF entries suffer these scourges but that it was on a completely different level in BF1 from my experiences. I played BF1 on all platforms but mostly on PC. ---

I agree with this. As much as I love BF1 you could definitely play lone wolf if you wanted to better than in some of the other games. Mind you there was still quite a bit of team play though in most games. To this day I can play with randoms in BF1 but playing with randoms in BF5 makes for a very rough experience. ---

I tried going back to BF1, and just couldn’t. Player movement is so sluggish and not fluid at all… BFV got many things wrong, but movement is one of the things it got VERY right. ---

> [@research-kitchen](#): > > I still play BF1 all the time, been playing in 200% damage servers. It can be rough since half the weapons can 1 shot kill you. Give it a try! I only played hardcore in BF:BC2, BF3, and BF4. They didn’t up bullet damage they just dropped your health to 60% of it’s max. It worked out better. I didnt like BF1 hardcore because there were no friendly markers. One bad pass from a bomber and you’re kicked. ---

Cape Helles- sniper fest. That god dam boring island with the plateau you could land on. The ship wreck and beach. Every single Russian map… All awful. Even BF4 didn’t have so many duff maps.
