This is Battlefield 1 gameplay and I will show you why Battlefield makes you hate wars and basically make you a pacifist. ♦ YOUR SUB IS EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!
Alr bf2042 operators dont even talk anymore, plus ppl saying the game is a major failure doesn't have the game, for me it's just like when bf3 or 4 cameout all buggy and the community bitching about it, trust me this game will turn out just like bf3 or 4's type of love.
just noticed that the Alexander Marshall was 32 years old when he died in the game, Myron Brown was 19 when he died and Paul McClatchi is 33 years old when he died. That's interesting knowing the age of the people we play as in the opening scene of BF1.
@@PrasathMGM I think it's not about the devs overall it's usually about 1 particular person who really brings the idea and is actually interested in making a good product to prove his idea was good. This is the only case when it's not about money, otherwise it's just a business.
@@sin4rule it’s like the kitchen cabinet inside the whole assembly. Important decision making body of nearly 50 devs among the total of 700 devs of dice. That whole cabinet mostly left dice during 2016 to 2019 period. Now they founded embark studios and TTK studios. Look at their game like “Finals” having more destruction and smoothness than Battlefield.
@@PrasathMGM Looks sick! Didn't know about Embark. The destruction aspect is really incredible in the trailer but it also looks like some Apex Legends kind of game, idk. Will add to wishlist anyway, thanks)
I’ve always thought the beginning of this game hit differently to any other shooting game. It was impactful as it humanised all sides in war, and as someone with ancestors who fought and died on both sides of both word wars I think this is an immensely important message, perhaps today more than ever. Don’t vilify the soldier, vilify the war. This game was truly one of its kind and I doubt anything else will be able to come close to it for a very long time…
Cough cough Fallujah, red orchestra, spec ops the line Basically any game not made by a million dollar AAA company…. Fr play spec ops the line, very good story
When I played this campaign it really struck me quite deep. Such treacherous ways to go man. And the fact that many soldiers were just regular teenagers too...
I have died so many times without really knowing where the bullets are coming from. And being confused and frustrated while being shot at. I remember thinking this must be how real war must be like. Imagine spending your last seconds feeling frustrated by how you weren’t even given a chance to fight what ended you.
hell, one of the most likely cases might be you dying from disease without ever firing a shot at the enemy. Although that's probably more of a case back then when medicine wasn't as good and leaders cared a lot less
@@nam3ey ….no…. I think games can be a great medium to show ideals and or history Sometimes better than movies But a EA game made to compete with COD is not what I would consider “historical” like, at all
This was the best start of any game. When I died as first character and saw dogtag with years of life, it sent shivers down my spine. This was more than five years ago and I still remember it better than anything else in this game
What's incredibly sad is the ages of the soldier's If you actually look at the ages of the soldier's after you die you see most of them are in their late teens to early 20s and this is painfully historical accurate as that's the average age for a soldier in this time World war 1 was known as the lost generation because so many young men died
especially when you had so many soldiers from Britain and France, coming from the same towns and being put in the same groups. one shell and everyone's gone.
I never played bf1, but did the game depict the horror realistically? I once heard a ww2 vet describe the scene as simply hell on earth. He saw blew up corpse lying around everywhere with separated limbs and inner organs. He said, afterward, he just couldn't stuff any food into his mouth.
@@firstclaw1 This war of mine is interesting the first few runs, and after it starts to play like any other roguelike. I really didn't like that game, I guess that might have been the point though. A war game that plays out entirely like the prologue of battlefield 1 would be a lot more tolerable to play. Regardless of what message you're sending, people still need to enjoy your game to a certain extent and not feel like they're doing chores.
@@Yobyman While I think the prologue of BF1 is well made, it is meant to kill the Player rather quickly and brutally. A game entirely like this would feel too frustrating. Maybe one day there will be better AI bots to play in a more realistic manner instead of run-gunning around like a bunch of madmen. But with BF, I doubt that will happen.
@@firstclaw1 What about a "multiple endings" kind of game? Example: touhou is hard but if you do without dying you get a different ending. The more you die the easier the next part is, or keep retrying the same path.
Absolutely unmatched, the campaign, story, multiplayer even had a story.. based on real world events.. the atmosphere... Everything.. Multiplayer conquest it really felt like your were grinding down skin and bone and that victory felt so satisfying while even the defeat felt amazing... Even after all of the approvments to BF2042. I can only play 1 or 2 matches at a time and then get bored.. BF1.. All night because it felt like your fighting for something
So many of my family members have been in war, I myself wanted to go to war to prove to everyone that I too accomplished an served my country... but after watching this I feel that I might end up in a body bag if I were to go to war the pain an suffering I would leave everyone... thankyou for making this video.
I remember playing this part for the first time and I was flabbergasted. I didn't really know how to feel, it spoke volumes of the horrors of war and how life was lost so cheaply and easily
That's what I always say, Never willingly go to war, no matter how desperate you are for money or how much they insult your manliness. Although if everyone was smart like that and nobody willingly went there. They'll just force to (like so many times already) And if nobody goes to war. All the people of the country will suffer the war and torture.
I thought I just sucked at gaming when I started playing, immediately dying 5 times. Took a minute to realize it was how the story was told. Fantastic game and it always goes on sale on steam
Yes you dying five times immediately was realistic. Do you have any idea how many brave poor men died pretty much instantly when entering the horrors of war?! Look at saving private Ryan for instance. Soooo many men didn’t even have a chance to fight!
I don't think DICE's message was for us to hate war more than it is to just educate us war isn't the all action bulletfest that we mostly see in video games and movies and is instead a form of hell that should never ever happen. This is more evident with the line: "So many of us thinking this war would be our rite of passage, our great adventure. Let me tell you, it was no adventure."
It honestly reminds me of All Quiet on the Western Front. How they start off so excited and happy and in the end they're torn to pieces, emotionally and literally
What shocked me the most in the campaign and why I couldn't play it was the fact that it is not a main character story. If your soldier dies, the story continues without him and you then play someone else and this is a too realistic and honest gameplay for me..
The only thing that had me somewhat hasp was when I first died playing on hard, the soldier I was playing as was only 17 years old. So after I beat the level I just sat back and kind of thought about how sad and scared a 17 year old must have been in his final moments. His life cut to short. War is hell
It’s horrific to think about. But in some strange way i like the game more for it. It’s rare they actually make a game capable of provoking such thought.
What? This litterally only happened in one single mission, the rest of the game is strictly one character that you play until you are done with that characters story.
I guess you didnt played for that long, that section you are talking about is merely the tutorial, after that you get to do missions with different storylines,, following the stories of different soldier to a certain point,, its like a lot of mini campaigns
I honestly think, that the prologue of bf1 is one of the most chilling experiences I've had. Each time i reinstall the game, I play it and nearly cry by the end. This game solely made me realize, that war isn't about glory and fame. Its about blood, fear and death. For this reason alone I say that bf1 is my favorite bf title
War is about imposing the power and will of your state upon the ‘enemy’ And people are in the way of that….. so people have to die Simple…… as…….. that…….
the dude who "total war" as a specific concept that meant a specific thing and not just two words idiots put together randomly when it does not mean what it means later decided war isn't a good idea. "It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of wounded who cry aloud for blood, vengeance, desolation. War is hell" - General Sherman.
@@summonerbraddysg51well actually, they say that WWII was simply a continuation of The Great War, and there actually hasn't been a major conflict since the second world war
and just for reference, WW1 combat was never ever like this, it was just straight over the top suicide, you got out a trench 80-90% of your assault is gonna die. THATS JUST the typical combat, there was sickness, suicide, drowning in your trench while your asleep, the cold, artillery if long enough could just cause you to go insane. WW1 was a different beast, combat and war is very different today (Ukraine is a small but most recent example of Trench warfare)
@Sin well its easier to treat the wounded, treat the ill, and supply the men in modern times. You are also supposed to neutralise the threat, which doesn't necessarily mean to kill. Wounded soldiers that can't fight back are not allowed to be shot, nor or those who are actively trying to surrender. These and other reasons overall lower the casualty rate
@@Craigstatch Don't take it so lightly, at least consider the reason of the war and what's your country really fighting for, whould you fight for your country if a new Hitler is in the power of your country? Or would you fight if the war started because of a false flag attack by your own goverment (Remember the Maine...)?
I 've read 'Nothing New In The West' a few years ago, and it made me think really deep about the horrors of war. For those of you who haven't got the opportunity to read it, I strongly recommend it is a great book.
Also watch the 1930 all quiet on the western front movie It’s a 30’s movie so it’s a bit dated, but more than half the cast and crew were actual veterans of world war 1, and put their experiences into the war The barbed wire scene being one of them You can just google “all quiet on the western front barbed wire” and it will show up Spoilers for the scene German was holding the line of his trench, one enemy soldier made it to the barbed wire in no man’s land, falls down, puts both of his hands on the barbed wire to pull himself up The German takes aim Suddenly an arty shell lands on the enemy soldier leaving nothing but his arms still clenched onto the barbed wire That was a real thing the props guy went through and asked them to put it in the movie
Easy Red 2 has this type of mechanic where you die as a soldier and it displays their name and date born/ended then you switch to a soldier somewhere else in the field, wish more games had it
Taking the role of multiple different soldiers then moving on to another after you die is the most respectful tribute to all those who died for nothing
In that same mission, during the tank sequence, you can spot a shell-shocked soldier just slowly walking through the battlefield as bullets whiz around him. I'm disappointed that wasn't shown in this video. It would have been a great addition.
I really liked that opening in BF1. It's beautifully done. I think more campaigns could have used this mechanic when your character's death is terminal and the game just carries on. Especially with the names and dates showing when you die, it makes it feel personal and true.
I don't think an FPS as great as BF1 will ever happen again The immersion of this game was OFF THE CHARTS The opening alone is why it's one of the greatest.
i miss it everyday.... my borther played it on ps4 he had crazy scores like going 40-0 or some stupid probably he spent many thousand hours on it mastering now. miss it everyday :(
Even in the multiplayer sometimes I wanted to quit the game because I got disgusted by the hardcore violence and terrified by the screams of the dying people in intense pain. Truly a masterpiece.
This is the reason why I play lots of war Games, Battlefield shows the emotions of a soldier and their story in a war, and Hell Let Loose shows the realistic part of the war that it's so easy to die in combat, Enlisted not only offer the real part but also shows me how awful it is to have my platoon being killed because of a small tactic mistake and the rank difference between my weapon and the enemy's weapon, and Ace Combat shows how weak a facility is under the heavy fire by a plane. The more I understand how war goes, the more I want to avoid it. Humans should cooperate like a race, it's meaningless to have wars occur on this planet and destroy millions of families.
When all other means - economic, spiritual, political - fail, what do we resolve to? Our last argument: violence. Unless it is addressed in societal architecture, unless our society is reformed - and that's gonna be slow af - wars never cease, they will be wages each generation simply because the experience of one isn't carried
I just played this game recently and boy, that opening hit hard. Idt I've ever played a game that hit like that before. The weight of each death, knowing damn well you gave it all you had and the distress of each situation. There was one in the ruins where they just didn't stop coming. You were out of ammo picking up anything you got. You were scared for your life. there was one point the flame troopers were breeching our lines and I just sat in the corner scared shooting what came at me cause there was nothing I could do. This game is a true masterpiece.
The prologue and the Flight of The Pigeon scene are the best moments of the game, it represents perfectly the size of the war with a melancholic and nostalgic ambience, making you see that in the future, but remembering you that all this people and his names at the prologue are real people who died in those exact moments in real life, this happened on the past, and the game let you see that on the present, to remember on the future, a MASTERPIECE. At the same time, the horrifying part is not the war, but the automatic weapons, the tank roaring and most importantly, the pain and fear screams when you shoot someone, and this last part is perfectly represented in Battlefield 1 and specially in Isonzo, where you shoot someone and they cry, scream, fight for breath and the terrifying sounds of your enemies drowning on their own blood
To be honest I didn't expect this video to get many views at all. Most people these days just want an easy consumable content like memes. But I'm so freaking happy to be proven wrong! This comment section is seriously making my day. People are actually sharing their thoughts in detail. I'm proud of everyone here for keeping it real and having a meaningful discussion. Keep it up brothers!
Battlefield 1 is easily one of the most meaningful FPS games of the 2010’s. I learned more about ww1 from that game than any history class. Never forget history and never let anyone clown on you for studying it.
That’s really fucking sad bro… It’s a very unrealistic game, doesn’t show u shit about ww1 Stop getting your history knowledge from video games for fucks sake
@@Sid567892010's means from 2010-2019 headass, secondly, have you seen all the information about weapons, battles etc in the loading screens alone? You don't know what you're talking about and it shows.
I played this for the first time ever trying not to die in the first mission (or just like any other game) and was actually surprised by the turn it took. Never played a game quite like this. The closest thing I can think to this is Lone Wolf from Halo Reach.
Battfield 1 came out when I was at my lowest. One of the missions that still makes me tear up is the one with Mateo, being that I have 3 brothers. 2 younger and 1 older
And the ages for soldiers in these wars were as young as even 16 years old. More commonly between 18-23 year olds were the ones killing, dying, and overall surviving in a world where death is as easy as getting stung by a bee when passing through an angry nest.
The experience of being bogged down behind the sand dunes in Suez, the entire enemy team trenched in the town facing the hill, charging time after time to try and break their defense , the town slowly turning into rubbles under the fire of tanks and rocket launchers, is one off the most immersive and striking moments I’ve ever witnessed in a multiplayer game, or even in any game. Bf1 was something else…
I love how it covered multiple aspects of the war, from the western front, the eastern front, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, to even the Russian Civil war. BFV didn’t even show the eastern front of WW2 whatsoever. A map based around Stalingrad was such a missed opportunity. Even BF1 had Stalingrad (then called Tsaritsyn during WW1 before the communists renamed it).
@@Pygmyz06o what, now people can't appreciate their favorite games? These are amazing details most people would miss. If that's all it takes to be told to go outside, then that phrase has completely lost all meaning.
Before the chapter begins, there's a line which reads "What follows is frontline combat. You are not expected to survive." Those words sat in my head for a really long time.
I remember buying this game when it was on sale and I was so excited to fire it up! I used to volunteer at the legion as a youth and worked there when I was of age because I was raised by my grandfather and grandmother; who both never enlisted but experienced the war and bombings as a civilian/child.. I played this game for the first time and was a little bit drunk after hanging with friends, we agreed to fire it up when we got home and everybody left my house so I decided to warm up by playing the campaign and I'll be honest I was playing this in the dark half cut with my headphones on so got super immersed, and then I started to read the first sentence and it gives you a brief background story about your character. I could be remembering this wrong but it said something along the lines of; "You are a 19 year old young man who has been conscripted for war, you have 2 younger siblings and a mother at home. You love baseball and doing chores around the house, and you won't make it back home." Then it started showing me the age of the people dying, and after the 3rd time dying I just started to sob.
Correct.. Everything about war is nothing but hatred, fear and death.. There is little to no honor in war.. What this game's cutscene narrated to us is the truth.. War is not an adventure or an exciting experience.. I remember, when i signed up for the Ground Force, my relatives and other family members were so proud and provided support for me.. I was just as naive and stupid as those who died on WW1 & WW2... All i thought about was just honor and glory about serving my country.. When i finished my training, i got sent to Syria.. Stationed in Aleppo as reinforcements for combat and peace keeping mission for 3 years... On 20 October 2019, my unit got an order to reinforce the 3rd motorized infantry unit which was struggling againts 700 strong militants.. Against my own judgement for my unit's safety, we departed from camp to this part of ancient city of Aleppo named Bab al Fijrin.. The night on the same date around 22:00 hours, we took a little rest on this destroyed district named Suleimani.. It went so suddenly and violently.. We got ambushed by the militants reinforcement waiting there... They came at us from all sides... Numbering around 250 of them... Some armed with rocket launchers, IEDs and they had this modified armored toyota trucks with large calibre machine gun on the back.. I gave the order to fall back and we took refuge in this still intact of a building that seemed to be a 8 story department store.. We fought them as hard as we could.. They fired everything they have upon us... We managed to fend them off after a hard fight... Killing 171 of them but, i lost my buddy Ilya in the process.. He got blown in half by a rocket.. I took a shrapnel to my forehead but, luckily it didn't penetrate through, a richocet grazed my right cheek bone, some more shrapnel to the knee and thigh.. 27 men we went, only 7 survived.. After my unit was relieved, i was sent back home and discharged from the army with the rank of Sergeant at the age of 24 due to severe wounds and trauma... I got decorated with Medal of Suvorov, Medal of Courage, and Medal of Merit to the Fatherland 2nd class with sword.. Some of my friends and family members said that i must have felt some pride and honor after i earned that medal.. No.. I did not.. What good honor and pride do for you if you lost a part of yourself earning it? Even today, i still remember the scream and agony of my men... I feel i don't deserve these medals... Those who died in battle, should be the one deserves it.. They were the true heroes... Now, I'm slowly recovering from the PTSD and thanks to my family and my lovely Japanese wife for helping me with it.. From a Former Russian Ground Force Sergeant.. Hopefully there would be no need for war in the upcoming future..
Your story makes me feel sad😢, war could destroy a person entirely if one didn't receive support from anyone. However , I would like to ask you a serious question, what's your opinion on Russia invasion of Ukraine as a retired russian soilder ?
@@adrianproud It's meaningless, useless, and stupid.. I could never come up with any idea of what the top brass in Kremlin are actually thinking.. The official news said that, the Special Military Operation is to rid Ukraine of Nazism and to prevent NATO to expand eastward for it would be a grave danger for Russia's security and sovereignty.. But that is just a lie.. Just think about it.. The only plausible idea i could come up with is that, the top brass in Kremlin probably thinks that Russia need more suitable land for economic, and military purposes.. As you can see that our country is just 1 big inhospitable land mass on the east with little population so, it would not be a suitable land for economic and military development.. At least that's what i think..
I like Dao (Dao De Jing) view on wars: to win a war is to end it asap, the victory day is a celebration of those returned alive but also a mourning for those who didn't make it. There is no pride in winning the war, war is a mistake that someone had to fix by ending it
This game was amazing. I had my girlfriend try this mission for the first time, wanted to show her one of my favorite game. She asked to stop playing after her first death, she said it felt too real; the stress, the fear that she was going to get killed, the sounds.. she said it was too overwhelming
This game was so damn good. It still to this day has the best sound design and immersion I've ever experienced in a FPS. No agendas being pushed, no attacking the fans; just an amazing war game with its history treated with respect.
This and COD MW Remastered were my first two FPS games. BF1 will always be my favorite. I used to play the multiplayer for hours when it was thriving with people. It was genuinely a tough game to be good at.
This part was shocking and brilliant. A highlight of the battlefield series. Before this I'd only played the pulpy, gungho war games like COD. Not only seeing a piece of history I wasn't aware of (all black regiment in WWI fighting in no man's land) but also playing multiple characters that quickly die chaotic and brutal deaths was a new kind of gaming experience for me. It was a different kind of realism and had emotional weight. Like, these could easily be real stories, if you're just taking a snapshot of the battlefield.
@@perocigla4425 you're right, I didn't give COD enough credit, I was just making a point. COD for me is all about the huge cinematic setpieces, like Michael Bay films but way better because you're in them and they're actually smarter than his films in their attention to detail. As for shocking realism in COD WWII, D-Day was like being in Saving Private Ryan. Also (SPOILER) when you find your buddy in the concentration camp. It was a real gut punch, especially because that character seems so broken and completely changed when you find him. It's actually heartbreaking.
To be honest, I would've love that the whole campaign would've been played like that. Not with a monologue between each death, but to be transfered in another soldier's life. In my first playthrough I was playing pretty casual, thinking I was in a nobody with a name but don't care he'll survive through the whole shit, like every other games. But you got to go into another soldier with a name, you got the birth and death year after the death. In my second playthrough, I did EVERYTHING that was in my power to survive as much as freakin' possible to keep the buddy alive. That was something unique I've never felt into an FPS before, I would've paid for a DLC with missions only with that mechanic, awesome way to put you through war and how horrible it is, even though you can already see how devastating it is without that.
BF 2 for ps2 was more or less like that, in fact when I went to play the third I expected something similar. Idk why they never continued this style, it was so fucking fun.
This intro of the game literally made my jaw drop in disbelief & immersed me so much & made me imagine what those poor lives had to go through at such a young age just by mentioning their name and date of birth & death. Most of them were late teens or early 20's.
I’ll still remember the first time I played this to start of the game. I was blown away by what I was being presented with, the immersion and the brutality of world war 1. It is this game alone that got me so intrigued into learning about ww1 and ww2 and the hell it brought. And may I add, the introduction of ‘operations’ in multiplayer was one of the best experiences of my life, learning the story of certain operations throughout the war and you learn what each country was doing and then you just jump straight into the fight as either side and as you start you hear a speech and then a war cry to pump you up. Phenomenal, simply phenomenal.
Kid this is just fuckin sad, operations is a stripped down copy of a game mode they had back in the day, sucks now a days compared to how it was And the game is unrealistic as shit Stop learning your history from games
Theres this documentary called they shall not grow old, I think that ontop of the visceral experiences from this game really just fills me with emotion. Such a tragedy the great war is
This prologue to the war stories is what ive been missing in a triple A fps since world at war. Depicting killing each other as something that isnt fun and light hearted. Showing war as brutal, dirty, ugly, and gritty. I thought this game was going to set the precident moving forward, boy was i wrong... What a mess it became. The added touch of reading a name after you die, seeing the death date written as if reading a tombstone, gave so much character to the "unnamed" person you play as. Truly a once in a lifetime game.
The death date is eerie just by the date itself. One of them said 1899-1918, kid was only 19 years old being thrown into that meat grinder. There were boys reported as young as 14 enlisted.
It's good if games portray these basically haphazard outcomes. How many times did Hackworth (who wrote about his life in "About Face") make it out alive of some situation by some grace which can not be attributed to skill or preparation or vigilance? No one should come away from these games with a sense that war is simply a matter of skill or that infantry combat is a sort of choreography which, if executed perfectly, guarantees some kind of applause. People can do everything right and still end up dead.
@@user-gp4vo6sw1c A lot of the profits simply come from preparing for war. Think about how much the F-22 program has cost...and this is a plane that will be retired almost as soon as it came online. There are many programs like that.
@@jasondusek1792 I mean current situation in Ukraine kickstarted many war programs including rearmament in Europe, Poland bought F35s for ~$5bn, UK grows military budget amidst crisis in socioeconomical sphere. Is Rheinmetall going to be fined for making profits from this conflict? I don't think so. Quoting another game, the war will continue as an institution, an industry
@@user-gp4vo6sw1c What should Rheinmetall be fined for? For selling arms to countries that, to be completely frank, were not spending enough to defend themselves? The programs you're talking about in Europe are not actual wars -- they are defense procurement programs. The cost of weapons procurement in Europe has increased dramatically since WW2, but what is the scope of wars since then in Europe? The revenues and the spending have no actual effect of increasing hostility. If anything, the more expensive procurement process, which necessitates more planning and predicting, forces a more rational and basically conservative way of thinking on the whole venture.
@@jasondusek1792 what about Iraq, Afganistan? Germany had conscription till 2011. War at Serbia, Kosovo? Recently were fightings there, blocked some roads. Use of depleted uranium at Europe, basically.
I was in the Army at the time this game came out. My then girlfriend, now wife got visibly sick and flooded with anxiety when I played the intro, thinking the same would happen to me one day. DICE really did one hell of a job with BF1.
To be honest it's one of the best war games, if not the best one, it really feels like something else, the way it's represented, the graphics and the gameplay, everything
I loved this intro to BF1, the mechanic of it going for as long as you can remain alive, and then switching seemlessly to another soldier on death was so cool. I was disappointed when I found out none of the other campaign missions were like that. I really want a game to be based on that mechanic. I know enlisted is almost similar because you have a AI squad that you can swap to on death, but it isn't seemless and it just isn't as satisfying or gritty. Its also a multiplayer game so it doesn't come with the same story drive as a campaign.
Man those earlier BF and COD storylines hit different, absolutely beautiful and masterpieces. I've not played those for almost 12 years, i hope someday I'll find the time to revisit those old memories of mine
if you realize everytime you get control of other character, and remind yourself that this character in a real war, have a life, have dreams, have family most of the time, have things that have to care about, and you can just go out there and end up dying, is crazy to think about this before knowing how easy is to die in a war
المدنيين يموتون بهذه الطريقة الفظيعة في فلسطين ، يموتون بالصواريخ يحرقون بقنابل الفوسور أحياء يعذبون حتى الموت ، يدهسون بمركبات الجيش الإسرائيلي وقد توفي منهم حوالي 37000 إنسان😢 و 73000 جريح !!!!
I feel like the worst thing about being a soldier is having a quick, unmemorable, dirty and forgettable death. Your name is forgotten and your actions only matter for that stone they guard 24/7 on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Its worse than a slow painful death, your life which you so much cherish just ends in a blind of an eye, or being abandoned by your very own comrades or squadmates in order for you to die and buy time for their escape without informing you where chosen to dedicate the rest of your short life for their sake, and might not even remember your sacrifice afterwards. Lives dont have time to confess their final words to their families nor to their comrades or country, they just lay there dead, unable to express anything while your comrades leave you behind thinking youre dead already, and suddenly you too realize you already are unsaveable. War is only glorious to those who gain glory standing on thousants of corpses looking upon the hero of the battlefield. You can live throught the war and survive it but you can develop Shell Shock or PTSD and regret humanity's decision as a whole, that thousants or millions of innocents just had to die for minor factors such as, a dead Archduke, oil, and soon even water and religion all over again, the disagreement of a mere group of people who consider themselves above you, yes you, conscipt, whom they forced to grab a gun and shoot at a man you do not know or hate. "For your country and Fatherland!", they say, but is a Fatherland worth dying such an unglorious death for if it's just some useless government stealing the tax payer money, oppress their own natives and homeless people, dont care about the country all for their luxuries? In the past their fought for Kings and Lords who actually cared for them, a Medieval peasant worked less days than you do, and soon now again, you too will be called to defend a "Fatherland" held together by corruption, fear, faint freedom of speech, movement, anything. If you do end up going to war and surviving, make me a promise, Anon. Promise me that along with the poeple you were forced to kill, you also kill those who forced you to, get rid of the scums and dirt off your beautiful land, O' Glorious soldier, humans always come first, not resources or some high class.

@@sefin84 when a game promises too much, always doubt ^^
Really Battlefield 2042 characters are way too cocky. Even Airsoft players are more serious than these 'soldiers'.
Alr bf2042 operators dont even talk anymore, plus ppl saying the game is a major failure doesn't have the game, for me it's just like when bf3 or 4 cameout all buggy and the community bitching about it, trust me this game will turn out just like bf3 or 4's type of love.
@@WeavesDehehe At least Bf 3 and 4 were quality games map wise, vehicle wise and had actual voicelines for fighting.
the moment you realize actual people have died like that in war your mood can take a completely different turn. Lets keep wars in games only🙏
Fr especially considering the situation in Palestine rn where innocent civilians are being killed, its not even a war at this point😢
@@oodark_ninjaoo9775 millions of civilians have died all over the world in wars, palestine is nothing different. its the truth

That's who MOST of you voted for over TRUMP when we DIDN'T have war. So FJB & F his supporters. And if you disagree, you're part of the problem.
just noticed that the Alexander Marshall was 32 years old when he died in the game, Myron Brown was 19 when he died and Paul McClatchi is 33 years old when he died. That's interesting knowing the age of the people we play as in the opening scene of BF1.
Nicee brooo❤ thanx for the detail , I didn't noticed that
I don't think DICE will ever make a battlefield as good as BF1. Truly a special game
A man can hope)
If their old devs are present, then dice would had given us a game like bf1 in modern era setting by now.
@@PrasathMGM I think it's not about the devs overall it's usually about 1 particular person who really brings the idea and is actually interested in making a good product to prove his idea was good. This is the only case when it's not about money, otherwise it's just a business.
@@sin4rule it’s like the kitchen cabinet inside the whole assembly. Important decision making body of nearly 50 devs among the total of 700 devs of dice. That whole cabinet mostly left dice during 2016 to 2019 period. Now they founded embark studios and TTK studios. Look at their game like “Finals” having more destruction and smoothness than Battlefield.
@@PrasathMGM Looks sick! Didn't know about Embark. The destruction aspect is really incredible in the trailer but it also looks like some Apex Legends kind of game, idk. Will add to wishlist anyway, thanks)
Sadest part of this is getting shot by a friendly tank as a paramedic helping others.
I'm really sorry
Thing is, that probably actually happened a lot. Friendly fire wasn't uncommon.
@@Magst3r1 If you google it, friendly fire actually took more human lives than well, normal fire against enemies
@@sin4rule That is definitely not true at all you absolute dingus lmao
In the heat of the battle where hesitation can get you killed, it gets hard to differentiate friend from foe.
I’ve always thought the beginning of this game hit differently to any other shooting game. It was impactful as it humanised all sides in war, and as someone with ancestors who fought and died on both sides of both word wars I think this is an immensely important message, perhaps today more than ever. Don’t vilify the soldier, vilify the war. This game was truly one of its kind and I doubt anything else will be able to come close to it for a very long time…
Cough cough Fallujah, red orchestra, spec ops the line

Are these available on the PS4 by chance?@@bioniclologist
When I played this campaign it really struck me quite deep. Such treacherous ways to go man. And the fact that many soldiers were just regular teenagers too...
Many soldiers are still teenagers today too bruh
Everyone I joined up with was 16-17. The average age in Vietnam was 19
My death as the first soldier was from running out of ammo. I ran into cover and tried so hard to run back to my allies but never made it.
Rookie mistake)
Wow thats fucked up...now imagine there were in fact situations like this in real war
@@trippinpandaz7520 And only to have your teammate shot you in the head with a pistol like the Russian did in Ukraine
@@Yayaloy9 I dunno what u mean...why a teammate should shoot his teammate in the head?
@@trippinpandaz7520 because according to propaganda evil russians shoot their retreating troops to make them turn back. Or somewhat.
I have died so many times without really knowing where the bullets are coming from. And being confused and frustrated while being shot at. I remember thinking this must be how real war must be like. Imagine spending your last seconds feeling frustrated by how you weren’t even given a chance to fight what ended you.
That or artillery blows up at some distance , blows out your heardrums and fills you with shrapnels ...
hell, one of the most likely cases might be you dying from disease without ever firing a shot at the enemy.
Although that's probably more of a case back then when medicine wasn't as good and leaders cared a lot less
Imagine playing what is essentially COD and thinking you learned something about war….
@@bioniclologistare you one of those people who think just because something is a fake videogame they cant learn from it?
@@nam3ey ….no….
I think games can be a great medium to show ideals and or history
Sometimes better than movies
But a EA game made to compete with COD is not what I would consider “historical” like, at all
This was the best start of any game. When I died as first character and saw dogtag with years of life, it sent shivers down my spine. This was more than five years ago and I still remember it better than anything else in this game
"War is delightful for those who had no experience of it."-Desiderius Erasmus
What's incredibly sad is the ages of the soldier's
If you actually look at the ages of the soldier's after you die you see most of them are in their late teens to early 20s and this is painfully historical accurate as that's the average age for a soldier in this time
World war 1 was known as the lost generation because so many young men died
especially when you had so many soldiers from Britain and France, coming from the same towns and being put in the same groups. one shell and everyone's gone.
I never played bf1, but did the game depict the horror realistically? I once heard a ww2 vet describe the scene as simply hell on earth. He saw blew up corpse lying around everywhere with separated limbs and inner organs. He said, afterward, he just couldn't stuff any food into his mouth.
@@qull3840 no not really, its pretty tame and focuses alot more on fun than realism
@@qull3840 there’s one where a ton of soldiers get buried underground and you can hear their screams.
Now being 25, it feels so surreal we send such young men off to die. For what? Trade deals?
If we could have got an entire game comprised of just this, it would be a masterpiece and a work of horrifying art
Maybe you might find "This war of mine" a good game. It is not action, but mostly about the struggles of civilians caught up in the middle of war.
Go to Ukraine. The experience is once in a lifetime
@@firstclaw1 This war of mine is interesting the first few runs, and after it starts to play like any other roguelike. I really didn't like that game, I guess that might have been the point though.
A war game that plays out entirely like the prologue of battlefield 1 would be a lot more tolerable to play. Regardless of what message you're sending, people still need to enjoy your game to a certain extent and not feel like they're doing chores.
@@Yobyman While I think the prologue of BF1 is well made, it is meant to kill the Player rather quickly and brutally. A game entirely like this would feel too frustrating.
Maybe one day there will be better AI bots to play in a more realistic manner instead of run-gunning around like a bunch of madmen. But with BF, I doubt that will happen.
@@firstclaw1 What about a "multiple endings" kind of game? Example: touhou is hard but if you do without dying you get a different ending. The more you die the easier the next part is, or keep retrying the same path.
Absolutely unmatched, the campaign, story, multiplayer even had a story.. based on real world events.. the atmosphere... Everything.. Multiplayer conquest it really felt like your were grinding down skin and bone and that victory felt so satisfying while even the defeat felt amazing... Even after all of the approvments to BF2042. I can only play 1 or 2 matches at a time and then get bored.. BF1.. All night because it felt like your fighting for something
So many of my family members have been in war, I myself wanted to go to war to prove to everyone that I too accomplished an served my country... but after watching this I feel that I might end up in a body bag if I were to go to war the pain an suffering I would leave everyone... thankyou for making this video.
"What follows is frontline combat. You are not expected to survive."

@@reacher8042 even now shivers send shivers down my spine
I remember playing this part for the first time and I was flabbergasted. I didn't really know how to feel, it spoke volumes of the horrors of war and how life was lost so cheaply and easily
Exactly this, the most valuable thing we have becomes the cheapest one... It's very deep, and very very wrong
That's what I always say,
Never willingly go to war, no matter how desperate you are for money or how much they insult your manliness.
Although if everyone was smart like that and nobody willingly went there.
They'll just force to (like so many times already)
And if nobody goes to war. All the people of the country will suffer the war and torture.
It's always a good vibe when Sin uploads!
Thank you :)
I thought I just sucked at gaming when I started playing, immediately dying 5 times. Took a minute to realize it was how the story was told. Fantastic game and it always goes on sale on steam
lol
Yes you dying five times immediately was realistic. Do you have any idea how many brave poor men died pretty much instantly when entering the horrors of war?! Look at saving private Ryan for instance. Soooo many men didn’t even have a chance to fight!
I don't think DICE's message was for us to hate war more than it is to just educate us war isn't the all action bulletfest that we mostly see in video games and movies and is instead a form of hell that should never ever happen.
This is more evident with the line: "So many of us thinking this war would be our rite of passage, our great adventure. Let me tell you, it was no adventure."
You are right, but I needed to describe it with 1 word in the title, and I think "hate" was a good option for this.
It honestly reminds me of All Quiet on the Western Front. How they start off so excited and happy and in the end they're torn to pieces, emotionally and literally
It is an adventure... to _hell_
So yeah it was for us to hate war...
@@Wulfjager great movie.
Playing BF1 during 2016-2018 on my first Xbox ever gifted by my father this was an absolute BLAST. I miss those good days so much dude
No game Will give you the true war vibes like bf1 did, Simply a masterpiece, you can feel the Chaos of the war even in online gameplay
What shocked me the most in the campaign and why I couldn't play it was the fact that it is not a main character story. If your soldier dies, the story continues without him and you then play someone else and this is a too realistic and honest gameplay for me..
You'll be fiiiine
The only thing that had me somewhat hasp was when I first died playing on hard, the soldier I was playing as was only 17 years old. So after I beat the level I just sat back and kind of thought about how sad and scared a 17 year old must have been in his final moments. His life cut to short. War is hell
It’s horrific to think about. But in some strange way i like the game more for it. It’s rare they actually make a game capable of provoking such thought.
What? This litterally only happened in one single mission, the rest of the game is strictly one character that you play until you are done with that characters story.
I guess you didnt played for that long, that section you are talking about is merely the tutorial, after that you get to do missions with different storylines,, following the stories of different soldier to a certain point,, its like a lot of mini campaigns
I honestly think, that the prologue of bf1 is one of the most chilling experiences I've had. Each time i reinstall the game, I play it and nearly cry by the end. This game solely made me realize, that war isn't about glory and fame. Its about blood, fear and death. For this reason alone I say that bf1 is my favorite bf title
War is about imposing the power and will of your state upon the ‘enemy’
And people are in the way of that….. so people have to die
Simple…… as…….. that…….
The war to end all wars
@@chamgod007but it ended nothing
the dude who "total war" as a specific concept that meant a specific thing and not just two words idiots put together randomly when it does not mean what it means later decided war isn't a good idea. "It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of wounded who cry aloud for blood, vengeance, desolation. War is hell" - General Sherman.
@@summonerbraddysg51well actually, they say that WWII was simply a continuation of The Great War, and there actually hasn't been a major conflict since the second world war
Meanwhile in BF2042: "What a time to be alive !"
And the last DLC, apocalypse.. Passchendaele is truly terrifying, that map gave me the chills
and just for reference, WW1 combat was never ever like this, it was just straight over the top suicide, you got out a trench 80-90% of your assault is gonna die. THATS JUST the typical combat, there was sickness, suicide, drowning in your trench while your asleep, the cold, artillery if long enough could just cause you to go insane. WW1 was a different beast, combat and war is very different today (Ukraine is a small but most recent example of Trench warfare)
Less % or people are dying in modern wars, but it's still pure hell on earth
Its not like that on every front of WW1.
@Sin well its easier to treat the wounded, treat the ill, and supply the men in modern times. You are also supposed to neutralise the threat, which doesn't necessarily mean to kill. Wounded soldiers that can't fight back are not allowed to be shot, nor or those who are actively trying to surrender. These and other reasons overall lower the casualty rate
@@ibraheemshuaib8954 do you think russians care about war laws?

BFBC2 is the best
“Well well well, that was fun!”
I 've read 'Nothing New In The West' a few years ago, and it made me think really deep about the horrors of war. For those of you who haven't got the opportunity to read it, I strongly recommend it is a great book.
AKA "All Quiet on the Western Front " in English publications.
@@failureforbeginners10 thank you! I was confused lmao
Also watch the 1930 all quiet on the western front movie
It’s a 30’s movie so it’s a bit dated, but more than half the cast and crew were actual veterans of world war 1, and put their experiences into the war
The barbed wire scene being one of them
You can just google “all quiet on the western front barbed wire” and it will show up
Spoilers for the scene
German was holding the line of his trench, one enemy soldier made it to the barbed wire in no man’s land, falls down, puts both of his hands on the barbed wire to pull himself up
The German takes aim
Suddenly an arty shell lands on the enemy soldier leaving nothing but his arms still clenched onto the barbed wire
That was a real thing the props guy went through and asked them to put it in the movie

Battlefield 1 wasn't a game it was an experience...
Yes, one of the best battlefield if not the best
Taking the role of multiple different soldiers then moving on to another after you die is the most respectful tribute to all those who died for nothing
In that same mission, during the tank sequence, you can spot a shell-shocked soldier just slowly walking through the battlefield as bullets whiz around him. I'm disappointed that wasn't shown in this video. It would have been a great addition.
I really liked that opening in BF1. It's beautifully done. I think more campaigns could have used this mechanic when your character's death is terminal and the game just carries on. Especially with the names and dates showing when you die, it makes it feel personal and true.
It really does and it was funny seeing the names of myself or peers
I don't think an FPS as great as BF1 will ever happen again
The immersion of this game was OFF THE CHARTS
The opening alone is why it's one of the greatest.
i miss it everyday.... my borther played it on ps4 he had crazy scores like going 40-0 or some stupid probably he spent many thousand hours on it mastering now. miss it everyday :(

this is so ahead of everything else back then.
was this a a 2016 or 2017 release either way either way the gameplay was just so standout.
"Do you feel like a hero yet?"
Even in the multiplayer sometimes I wanted to quit the game because I got disgusted by the hardcore violence and terrified by the screams of the dying people in intense pain. Truly a masterpiece.
I feel just the exact same way. Its just truly horrifying how the atmosphere of this game just feels so real. Sometimes I just struggle to play it
I know it is too surreal but you gotta give it a thumbs up for how well the game portrays real life
This is why snowflakes should stick to the nintendo games
@@daftfunk This is why trolls should stick to flying with oil
@@daftfunk if you are not afraid of war, then you lack humanity.
This is the reason why I play lots of war Games, Battlefield shows the emotions of a soldier and their story in a war, and Hell Let Loose shows the realistic part of the war that it's so easy to die in combat, Enlisted not only offer the real part but also shows me how awful it is to have my platoon being killed because of a small tactic mistake and the rank difference between my weapon and the enemy's weapon, and Ace Combat shows how weak a facility is under the heavy fire by a plane. The more I understand how war goes, the more I want to avoid it. Humans should cooperate like a race, it's meaningless to have wars occur on this planet and destroy millions of families.
Well said bro!
When all other means - economic, spiritual, political - fail, what do we resolve to? Our last argument: violence. Unless it is addressed in societal architecture, unless our society is reformed - and that's gonna be slow af - wars never cease, they will be wages each generation simply because the experience of one isn't carried
@@user-gp4vo6sw1c TL;DR: War is the last resort, and it's hard to eliminate it.
COD: Hehe Guns go PewPew
war is inevitable
I just played this game recently and boy, that opening hit hard. Idt I've ever played a game that hit like that before. The weight of each death, knowing damn well you gave it all you had and the distress of each situation. There was one in the ruins where they just didn't stop coming. You were out of ammo picking up anything you got. You were scared for your life. there was one point the flame troopers were breeching our lines and I just sat in the corner scared shooting what came at me cause there was nothing I could do.
This game is a true masterpiece.
The prologue and the Flight of The Pigeon scene are the best moments of the game, it represents perfectly the size of the war with a melancholic and nostalgic ambience, making you see that in the future, but remembering you that all this people and his names at the prologue are real people who died in those exact moments in real life, this happened on the past, and the game let you see that on the present, to remember on the future, a MASTERPIECE.
At the same time, the horrifying part is not the war, but the automatic weapons, the tank roaring and most importantly, the pain and fear screams when you shoot someone, and this last part is perfectly represented in Battlefield 1 and specially in Isonzo, where you shoot someone and they cry, scream, fight for breath and the terrifying sounds of your enemies drowning on their own blood

Battfield 1 came out when I was at my lowest. One of the missions that still makes me tear up is the one with Mateo, being that I have 3 brothers. 2 younger and 1 older
And the ages for soldiers in these wars were as young as even 16 years old. More commonly between 18-23 year olds were the ones killing, dying, and overall surviving in a world where death is as easy as getting stung by a bee when passing through an angry nest.
The experience of being bogged down behind the sand dunes in Suez, the entire enemy team trenched in the town facing the hill, charging time after time to try and break their defense , the town slowly turning into rubbles under the fire of tanks and rocket launchers, is one off the most immersive and striking moments I’ve ever witnessed in a multiplayer game, or even in any game. Bf1 was something else…
I love how it covered multiple aspects of the war, from the western front, the eastern front, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, to even the Russian Civil war. BFV didn’t even show the eastern front of WW2 whatsoever. A map based around Stalingrad was such a missed opportunity. Even BF1 had Stalingrad (then called Tsaritsyn during WW1 before the communists renamed it).

I remember buying this game when it was on sale and I was so excited to fire it up!
I used to volunteer at the legion as a youth and worked there when I was of age because I was raised by my grandfather and grandmother; who both never enlisted but experienced the war and bombings as a civilian/child..
I played this game for the first time and was a little bit drunk after hanging with friends, we agreed to fire it up when we got home and everybody left my house so I decided to warm up by playing the campaign and I'll be honest I was playing this in the dark half cut with my headphones on so got super immersed, and then I started to read the first sentence and it gives you a brief background story about your character. I could be remembering this wrong but it said something along the lines of; "You are a 19 year old young man who has been conscripted for war, you have 2 younger siblings and a mother at home. You love baseball and doing chores around the house, and you won't make it back home."
Then it started showing me the age of the people dying, and after the 3rd time dying I just started to sob.
Love the message at the end bro
Correct..
Everything about war is nothing but hatred, fear and death..
There is little to no honor in war..
What this game's cutscene narrated to us is the truth..
War is not an adventure or an exciting experience..
I remember, when i signed up for the Ground Force, my relatives and other family members were so proud and provided support for me..
I was just as naive and stupid as those who died on WW1 & WW2... All i thought about was just honor and glory about serving my country..
When i finished my training, i got sent to Syria.. Stationed in Aleppo as reinforcements for combat and peace keeping mission for 3 years...
On 20 October 2019, my unit got an order to reinforce the 3rd motorized infantry unit which was struggling againts 700 strong militants..
Against my own judgement for my unit's safety, we departed from camp to this part of ancient city of Aleppo named Bab al Fijrin..
The night on the same date around 22:00 hours, we took a little rest on this destroyed district named Suleimani..
It went so suddenly and violently..
We got ambushed by the militants reinforcement waiting there...
They came at us from all sides...
Numbering around 250 of them...
Some armed with rocket launchers, IEDs and they had this modified armored toyota trucks with large calibre machine gun on the back..
I gave the order to fall back and we took refuge in this still intact of a building that seemed to be a 8 story department store..
We fought them as hard as we could..
They fired everything they have upon us...
We managed to fend them off after a hard fight... Killing 171 of them but, i lost my buddy Ilya in the process..
He got blown in half by a rocket..
I took a shrapnel to my forehead but, luckily it didn't penetrate through, a richocet grazed my right cheek bone, some more shrapnel to the knee and thigh..
27 men we went, only 7 survived..
After my unit was relieved, i was sent back home and discharged from the army with the rank of Sergeant at the age of 24 due to severe wounds and trauma...
I got decorated with Medal of Suvorov, Medal of Courage, and Medal of Merit to the Fatherland 2nd class with sword..
Some of my friends and family members said that i must have felt some pride and honor after i earned that medal..
No.. I did not..
What good honor and pride do for you if you lost a part of yourself earning it?
Even today, i still remember the scream and agony of my men...
I feel i don't deserve these medals...
Those who died in battle, should be the one deserves it..
They were the true heroes...
Now, I'm slowly recovering from the PTSD and thanks to my family and my lovely Japanese wife for helping me with it..
From a Former Russian Ground Force Sergeant..
Hopefully there would be no need for war in the upcoming future..
Your story makes me feel sad😢, war could destroy a person entirely if one didn't receive support from anyone. However , I would like to ask you a serious question, what's your opinion on Russia invasion of Ukraine as a retired russian soilder ?
@@adrianproud It's meaningless, useless, and stupid..
I could never come up with any idea of what the top brass in Kremlin are actually thinking..
The official news said that, the Special Military Operation is to rid Ukraine of Nazism and to prevent NATO to expand eastward for it would be a grave danger for Russia's security and sovereignty..
But that is just a lie.. Just think about it..
The only plausible idea i could come up with is that, the top brass in Kremlin probably thinks that Russia need more suitable land for economic, and military purposes.. As you can see that our country is just 1 big inhospitable land mass on the east with little population so, it would not be a suitable land for economic and military development.. At least that's what i think..

It was indeed, they say it when you complete the campaign
I like Dao (Dao De Jing) view on wars: to win a war is to end it asap, the victory day is a celebration of those returned alive but also a mourning for those who didn't make it. There is no pride in winning the war, war is a mistake that someone had to fix by ending it
intro of BF1 was so damn genius! This immersion...unparalleled!
Ehh
This game was amazing. I had my girlfriend try this mission for the first time, wanted to show her one of my favorite game. She asked to stop playing after her first death, she said it felt too real; the stress, the fear that she was going to get killed, the sounds.. she said it was too overwhelming
Really? That's all it takes? I guess some people can't handle violence that well.
How did she feel about the game though?

started it again yesterday.. sad none is playing it, but at least this intro missiond and the short stories are still amazing
This game was so damn good. It still to this day has the best sound design and immersion I've ever experienced in a FPS. No agendas being pushed, no attacking the fans; just an amazing war game with its history treated with respect.
Oh my Geraldo, they literally added black people into the game and you telling me no agendas? The game is literally unplayable because of this
I miss the old BF games. How could they go from the masterpiece that was BF1 to BFV?
@@alexandersalter6686BFV was still quite good, but nowhere near BF1. The newest one 1942 is pure shit
@@Mark-xd5up dude it's 2042 that's trash. 1942 was great, and 2142 was great too.
This is why I hate the new generation…. Y’all are dumb as fuck
My man really got in the tank and the first thing he shot was his own medic
This and COD MW Remastered were my first two FPS games. BF1 will always be my favorite. I used to play the multiplayer for hours when it was thriving with people. It was genuinely a tough game to be good at.
This part was shocking and brilliant. A highlight of the battlefield series. Before this I'd only played the pulpy, gungho war games like COD. Not only seeing a piece of history I wasn't aware of (all black regiment in WWI fighting in no man's land) but also playing multiple characters that quickly die chaotic and brutal deaths was a new kind of gaming experience for me. It was a different kind of realism and had emotional weight. Like, these could easily be real stories, if you're just taking a snapshot of the battlefield.
CoDs set in WW2 are shocking. Maybe even more.
@@perocigla4425 you're right, I didn't give COD enough credit, I was just making a point. COD for me is all about the huge cinematic setpieces, like Michael Bay films but way better because you're in them and they're actually smarter than his films in their attention to detail. As for shocking realism in COD WWII, D-Day was like being in Saving Private Ryan. Also (SPOILER) when you find your buddy in the concentration camp. It was a real gut punch, especially because that character seems so broken and completely changed when you find him. It's actually heartbreaking.
@@rizzo-films Yeah. That scene in the beginning of the D-Day mission makes me wonder how big human stupidity can be.
To be honest, I would've love that the whole campaign would've been played like that. Not with a monologue between each death, but to be transfered in another soldier's life. In my first playthrough I was playing pretty casual, thinking I was in a nobody with a name but don't care he'll survive through the whole shit, like every other games. But you got to go into another soldier with a name, you got the birth and death year after the death.
In my second playthrough, I did EVERYTHING that was in my power to survive as much as freakin' possible to keep the buddy alive. That was something unique I've never felt into an FPS before, I would've paid for a DLC with missions only with that mechanic, awesome way to put you through war and how horrible it is, even though you can already see how devastating it is without that.
BF 2 for ps2 was more or less like that, in fact when I went to play the third I expected something similar. Idk why they never continued this style, it was so fucking fun.
This game was a masterpiece with it’s immersion and cinematics. You felt like you were living through the gameplay!
This intro mission and the missions in Italy are god.
This intro of the game literally made my jaw drop in disbelief & immersed me so much & made me imagine what those poor lives had to go through at such a young age just by mentioning their name and date of birth & death. Most of them were late teens or early 20's.
I’ll still remember the first time I played this to start of the game. I was blown away by what I was being presented with, the immersion and the brutality of world war 1. It is this game alone that got me so intrigued into learning about ww1 and ww2 and the hell it brought.
And may I add, the introduction of ‘operations’ in multiplayer was one of the best experiences of my life, learning the story of certain operations throughout the war and you learn what each country was doing and then you just jump straight into the fight as either side and as you start you hear a speech and then a war cry to pump you up. Phenomenal, simply phenomenal.
Kid this is just fuckin sad, operations is a stripped down copy of a game mode they had back in the day, sucks now a days compared to how it was
And the game is unrealistic as shit
Stop learning your history from games
One of the best intros to a game
Theres this documentary called they shall not grow old, I think that ontop of the visceral experiences from this game really just fills me with emotion. Such a tragedy the great war is
This prologue to the war stories is what ive been missing in a triple A fps since world at war. Depicting killing each other as something that isnt fun and light hearted. Showing war as brutal, dirty, ugly, and gritty. I thought this game was going to set the precident moving forward, boy was i wrong... What a mess it became.
The added touch of reading a name after you die, seeing the death date written as if reading a tombstone, gave so much character to the "unnamed" person you play as. Truly a once in a lifetime game.
The death date is eerie just by the date itself. One of them said 1899-1918, kid was only 19 years old being thrown into that meat grinder. There were boys reported as young as 14 enlisted.
It's good if games portray these basically haphazard outcomes.
How many times did Hackworth (who wrote about his life in "About Face") make it out alive of some situation by some grace which can not be attributed to skill or preparation or vigilance?
No one should come away from these games with a sense that war is simply a matter of skill or that infantry combat is a sort of choreography which, if executed perfectly, guarantees some kind of applause. People can do everything right and still end up dead.
To stop wars from occuring is to prevent it being profitable
@@user-gp4vo6sw1c A lot of the profits simply come from preparing for war. Think about how much the F-22 program has cost...and this is a plane that will be retired almost as soon as it came online. There are many programs like that.
@@jasondusek1792 I mean current situation in Ukraine kickstarted many war programs including rearmament in Europe, Poland bought F35s for ~$5bn, UK grows military budget amidst crisis in socioeconomical sphere. Is Rheinmetall going to be fined for making profits from this conflict? I don't think so. Quoting another game, the war will continue as an institution, an industry
@@user-gp4vo6sw1c What should Rheinmetall be fined for? For selling arms to countries that, to be completely frank, were not spending enough to defend themselves? The programs you're talking about in Europe are not actual wars -- they are defense procurement programs. The cost of weapons procurement in Europe has increased dramatically since WW2, but what is the scope of wars since then in Europe? The revenues and the spending have no actual effect of increasing hostility. If anything, the more expensive procurement process, which necessitates more planning and predicting, forces a more rational and basically conservative way of thinking on the whole venture.
@@jasondusek1792 what about Iraq, Afganistan? Germany had conscription till 2011. War at Serbia, Kosovo? Recently were fightings there, blocked some roads. Use of depleted uranium at Europe, basically.
The intro is so powerful, really impressive coming from dice, almost would've mistaken it for a rockstar or naughty dog game.
The two dudes in that standoff being the last ones left and just not even attempting to win and just lower their weapons just hits hard
The Alien reference still gives me chills
I was in the Army at the time this game came out. My then girlfriend, now wife got visibly sick and flooded with anxiety when I played the intro, thinking the same would happen to me one day.
DICE really did one hell of a job with BF1.
it will happen
@@Nein14 no it wont, modern wars have changed
You do realize whats happening in Ukraine right now?
@@Nein14 not world war 1 lmao
I did not mean ww1. I meant war in general and it will be as unpleasend as always.
"Tanks were on our side"
"Mostly"
*Shoots a friendly medic with a tank*
Lol this is comment is underrated!
Prolog actually made me cry the first time. Thinking about the massive loss of life war has really did it.
Love the message at the end
just started playing this game yesterday and i was mindblowned for how good the intro cutscene was! ❤
Welcome to the battlefield
Its been 7 years since this game released and people still can't make a better looking battlefield.
I love the Epilog from BF1. Not only how often and random you die. At some point you can’t even differentiate your enemies from allies and vice versa
*differentiate your enemies from allies and vice versa
Lol me just sitting here with my “I’m just here for the violence t-shirt” 😂
the things man can do to another man just to get his women and his ale
id give him a few dollars hbu
Really sad
“Let’s keep war in video games only” bro single handedly ended all war with that sentence
Yeah. Vids a tad pretentious.
It's the thought that counts
@@theviniso 🤓
@@MikeHunt-mb6vl Y tho
To be honest it's one of the best war games, if not the best one, it really feels like something else, the way it's represented, the graphics and the gameplay, everything
My great great grandfather fought in WW1 he came back with one arm.
I loved this intro to BF1, the mechanic of it going for as long as you can remain alive, and then switching seemlessly to another soldier on death was so cool. I was disappointed when I found out none of the other campaign missions were like that. I really want a game to be based on that mechanic. I know enlisted is almost similar because you have a AI squad that you can swap to on death, but it isn't seemless and it just isn't as satisfying or gritty. Its also a multiplayer game so it doesn't come with the same story drive as a campaign.
Man those earlier BF and COD storylines hit different, absolutely beautiful and masterpieces. I've not played those for almost 12 years, i hope someday I'll find the time to revisit those old memories of mine
if you realize everytime you get control of other character, and remind yourself that this character in a real war, have a life, have dreams, have family most of the time, have things that have to care about, and you can just go out there and end up dying, is crazy to think about this before knowing how easy is to die in a war
المدنيين يموتون بهذه الطريقة الفظيعة في فلسطين ، يموتون بالصواريخ يحرقون بقنابل الفوسور أحياء يعذبون حتى الموت ، يدهسون بمركبات الجيش الإسرائيلي وقد توفي منهم حوالي 37000 إنسان😢 و 73000 جريح !!!!
Masterpieces can't be re-created.
I feel like the worst thing about being a soldier is having a quick, unmemorable, dirty and forgettable death. Your name is forgotten and your actions only matter for that stone they guard 24/7 on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Its worse than a slow painful death, your life which you so much cherish just ends in a blind of an eye, or being abandoned by your very own comrades or squadmates in order for you to die and buy time for their escape without informing you where chosen to dedicate the rest of your short life for their sake, and might not even remember your sacrifice afterwards. Lives dont have time to confess their final words to their families nor to their comrades or country, they just lay there dead, unable to express anything while your comrades leave you behind thinking youre dead already, and suddenly you too realize you already are unsaveable. War is only glorious to those who gain glory standing on thousants of corpses looking upon the hero of the battlefield. You can live throught the war and survive it but you can develop Shell Shock or PTSD and regret humanity's decision as a whole, that thousants or millions of innocents just had to die for minor factors such as, a dead Archduke, oil, and soon even water and religion all over again, the disagreement of a mere group of people who consider themselves above you, yes you, conscipt, whom they forced to grab a gun and shoot at a man you do not know or hate. "For your country and Fatherland!", they say, but is a Fatherland worth dying such an unglorious death for if it's just some useless government stealing the tax payer money, oppress their own natives and homeless people, dont care about the country all for their luxuries? In the past their fought for Kings and Lords who actually cared for them, a Medieval peasant worked less days than you do, and soon now again, you too will be called to defend a "Fatherland" held together by corruption, fear, faint freedom of speech, movement, anything. If you do end up going to war and surviving, make me a promise, Anon. Promise me that along with the poeple you were forced to kill, you also kill those who forced you to, get rid of the scums and dirt off your beautiful land, O' Glorious soldier, humans always come first, not resources or some high class.
Amen, brother. 🙏
All quiet on the western front gives a similar feeling when it comes to war
Lots of people who have watched this video could use a history lesson...what did they imagine war is like then?
"Mankind must put an end to war or war must put an end to mankind." (John F. Kennedy)
I don't think there will be a game ever this thematic, it's greatest strength was destroying the romanticized vision of what war truly is.
