The Australian guy in Gallipoli was my favorite mission in BF1, this game was pretty good, I wish they added single player campaigns alongside with the DLCs, but I guess nowadays is a capital sin to make single player DLCs.
As an Australian I was ecstatic to learn they made a Gallipoli campaign; the Commonwealth of Australia at the time was less then 20 years old during WW1, it was our trail by fire as our nation, 300,000 Australians served in the war, and that was 1/16 people of a country of 5 million at the time; the post war cynicism around the war was huge, 60,000 Australian men died so some countries half the world a way could fight over a small Balkan country. Battlefield 1 was a great game.
I was going to say. Like the whole "mini campaign/ stories" thing would be perfect to bundle a new little 2 hour campaign with the multiplayer DLC's you wouldn't even have to make a full campaign or whatever but they just didn't. Sucks.
I feel that if they wanted the campaigns to stand out more it would’ve been beneficial to add a new War Story with each DLC. Maybe add in the Battle of Verdun with TSNP, a story of the Russian Civil War or the last days of the Russian Empire with ITNOTT, a naval battle with TT, and the Somme with Apocalypse. Just adding that stuff I think would’ve really made more people go back to the campaign. For what it’s worth though, I think they did a good job and I enjoyed them all.
Wasn't that the plan from the beginning? But then they went "nobody plays the campaigns anymore" and cut them from the DLC and the community complain about it or I'm confusing the game
That would have been great. The war stories were pretty basic, but adding more would make up for it. It's crazy to think there's no French or Russian war story in a WWI game.
@@xXxKAMIKAZExXx Right? I was shocked when nothing was added. I know that at it’s core it’s a multiplayer game, but surely even if they only added 2 (one for the French and another for the Russians) that would’ve sufficed.
I still remember Totalbiscuits review of the campaign where it goes from “yes very serious horrible war,” and then the very next mission “I am now a space marine who is immune to bullets.”
rip my wigga tb, things just aren't the same without arguably the biggest consumer advocate of gaming. i think the closest we got in the gaming space right now is ACG, but he has nowhere near the same reach or aggressiveness and is nowhere near as influential...
Still my favorite multiplayer Battlefield game, but the campaign was just a bunch of wasted potential. The opening is really effective at conveying that "pointless slaughter" feeling of WW1, but soon you're defeating legions of bad guys in an iron man suit and taking down zeppelins like you're straight out of a crappy movie.
And do not forget all that: *"Yeah war is bad, many lives were taken that day, look how sad those soldiers from Triple Entente dying ... btw dont worry about the Triple Alliance tho, they are just Germans and random third world Ottomans, nothing of valour was lost on this side of the war, just shoot'em"*
@@NewPaulActs17 Man got fired and had that incident be a haunting incident in his career and life till World war 2. So Yeah.. didn't effect him at all..
I agree, I prefer campaign style vs war stories, but to get that message of unnecessary slaughter they should've done it like how you're saying. Particularly if you played as central powers for a bit
The skin you got the "daylight gun" irl that gun was called the daylight gun because of the guns loading mechanism. It makes it extremely difficult to reload at nighttime
Why was battlefield 5 not better than battlefield 1? Dice has seriously let us down and bf1 should have been a stepping stone example for what historical games really should look like
My dude is still beating a dead horse 3 years later, I think the battlefield community has already accepted that Battlefield V is just a fantasy game set in WW2 and even then Battlefield 1 is nowhere near historically accurate.
@@riograndedosulball248 You can try Hell Let Loose, its basically like a battlefield game but more hardcore. You can drive tanks, trucks, armored vehicle, halftracks, and operating an artillery piece. No planes sadly
@@worlds3061 That's the problem. Sure, there are games like HLL and Post Scriptum and Enlisted, and they have their place, but they're just not Battlefield. Somehow, at least for me, Battlefield managed to strike the perfect balance of arcade gameplay and authentic presentation. It's hard to describe, but none of these other games scratch the itch I'm left with after the crappening of Battlefield.
The opening was awesome, that’s all I really remember most from the campaign. Still wish they gave us some Central Power stories. It would’ve been cool to play as a German or Austrian-Hungarian soldier.
If you actually are interested in a more authentic ww1 game try Verdun or Tannenburg, they have all sorts of historically accurate weapons and maps, though the servers are a bit dead due to it being a little old
@@jakemitchell6578 immersion? I’m completely unimmersed in bf1, all these prototype sub machine guns and semi auto rifles, the same run and gun gameplay as other battlefields. It feels like other battlefields with a faux world war 1 skin on it. And then the way the battles go about. It’s just nothing like world war 1 and completely feels unimmersive to me.
The prologue was damn amazing because it actually made you *feel* something and portrayed war in a way games rarely are ever able to. It portrayed the war in such a visceral and depressing way that humanized the people fighting it while simultaneously portraying how pointless their deaths were in the grand scheme... it made you *think* about the gruesome reality of the Great War. That prologue transcended into art with how it was able to be thought provoking and respectful of a very real and horrible subject while still being something we enjoyed experiencing. Then all the stories were just like action films that had undertones of seriousness and sadness to them, but didn't hit the same way at all because you're playing as dudes [and a lady] who (almost) singlehandedly defeat hundreds of people and get to retry whenever they die. Doesn't feel like war anymore then. You're no longer a cog in the machine, but an action hero who is destined to win against insurmountable odds. At least they were ok in terms of gameplay. Not much memorable in that regard, but it's better than being memorably bad.
The absolute best battlefield game ever made! Been playing battlefield since 1942 came out back in 2003ish and I have to say, bf1 is and always will be fun. It's the only battlefield I continuously go back to!
This game benefited greatly from the hate mob that was swarming the new cod. It gave them something to hold up as a “champion” against cod. BF1 was pretty good but not as much as you would think based on the community reaction at the time.
They were inversions of each other. Infinite Warfare had a good and interesting campaign (mechanically, the story is trash naturally) but bad multiplayer. BF1 had a insipid and linear campaign but good multiplayer with interesting stuff like Behemoth units.
@@SecuR0M I'd add that the introductory level to BF1's campaign was REALLY cool at the time and set a tone that the rest of the campaigns absolutely failed to live up to, so I think part of the positive reception the game got was due to that excellent first impression. Also, as bad as BF1's campaign was, its fucking MW2 compared to BF3 and 4.
Battlefield 1 was my first introduction to the Battlefield series. It was also my first Xbox One game. It was also the first WW1 game I played. It's a lot of firsts for me.
No argument there heck BF1's campaign did a better job of highlighting how a female operative could play a role in helping turn the tide of the war, cause while yes Zara a couple of times in the missions that make up Nothing is ever Written does mention that she wishes she could be on the frontlines, and be recorded in the history books like the guys within the rebel Bedouin Army Colonel TE Lawerance created but she doesn't make that her main character focus as she takes to heart what Colonel Lawerance states during the operation to destroy the supply train that being she has a right to feel annoyed over not being able to fight on the frontlines or that she won't be remembered as a war hero by most of her tribesmen but he and the few other members of the tribe who choose to remember will acknowledge that her actions as a spy/assassin/saboteur helped play a role in bringing down the Ottoman Empire and that personal knowledge can never be taken away.
Just editing your streams into this format has been so good content dude. Used to always try to watch your vods but when I miss one this is honestly better.
I enjoyed that game not gonna lie, the campaign was cool but I don't think it was meant to be very replayable. The multiplayer was fun. Also good job on the videos m8
Honestly I really only like three out of the five campaign offerings here The pilot one was good, the tank crew one was good, and then that one where you Don the iron Man suit was okay The other ones felt like a slog to go through, and I really only remember one of them Maybe I'm even imagining that there were five instead of four
There were five, it's just that they were forgettable, one is the Australian dude running around Gallipoli and then there's the beduin women fighter replacing Lawrence of Arabia bullshit that's just completely awful and would go on to influence the garbage fest that is BFV.
@@JohnnyLouisXIX I completely forgot the Australian campaign lol The Lawrence of Arabia spin-off is the one that I was remembering. And I remember how disconnected and boring it felt compared to the other ones. Apparently the Australian campaign was even more boring though because it literally totally escaped my mind
Probably one of my favorite battlefields. Gave battlefield a new look and a fresh one at that. The overall setting and graphics gave it its ww1 feel that I feel games such as battlefield V lacked. Campaign always seemed to have stuff to do in my opinion. Secret skins to unlock or secret achievements. Overall splendid game.
The freshly ground pepper animation made me chuckle out loud. Nice one. And if it's anything like Olive Garden cheese, they never tell you to stop and you just keep grinding forever.
This was one of those things that was really cool back when I was younger when it came out, but may not have been all that. I at least standby the multiplayer. If there's maybe something that hasn't been said yet, one thing I loved about the multiplayer was the brutal simplicity of the gun loadouts. You didn't feel like you were always getting it wrong like in Battlefield 4, where attachments seemed to hurt more than they helped. In BF1, guns usually felt effective and basically came ready to use when you unlocked them.
I like the campaign but really they made strange choices with the logic, missing many key locations and adding some obscure ass cei rigotti instead of the Carcano
@@Immolator772 for some reason, both these dont have for PC. But for PC, i rather play 1942 and Vietnam with bots than any campaign (expect to tactic games like Swat, Operation flashpoint and Arma), bots are the only way to bring a Battlefiled expirience to single player, and this is what BF needs, even Bad Company is limited compared to the first two games single player.
I'd honestly rather play Verdun/Tannenburg or the Great war Total War mod than the campaign. Multiplayer doesn't really care about historical accuracy all that much so I wouldn't knock it too much. The "historical" immersion of the campaign ends up getting killed by the fact that everybody is running around with weapons they wouldn't have historically used. For example, I don't remember the Australians running around with trench guns at Gallipoli or the British using silenced sniper rifles.
The only genuinely good part of the campaign was the prologue. Set a very awesome tone with the “you are not expected to survive” prompt. Everything else was just… what? Battlefield but make it stealth missions? So dumb. The game made a point to portray a respectful, almost reverent tone about the war (again, delivered effectively in the prologue). But that respect does not extend to the French (totally absent from the base game and therefore all campaigns) or to any soldiers of the central powers. Germans, Austrians and Turks are all portrayed as faceless villains to be mowed down in a very non respectful, non reverent manner. Honestly I’d get it if it were a WW2 game. (Ironically Battlefield V’s campaign made more of an effort to portray and humanize Germans even though they were the aggressors in a war of racial annihilation. Fodder for the Wehraboo demo I guess). When you beat all the war stories there is a bonus “level” that’s just a video montage of how the war’s not over, we’ll keep fighting. And this video makes WW1 looks cool as hell and very fun. Which is the exact opposite of the tone the game tried to strike at the beginning. But who plays Bf for the single player anyway?
Learn a thing or two about history. Crying about not giving respect to countries that colonized foreign lands with the sole reason being to exploit the land/population for their own gain. Or, in the case of the Turks, Bulgarians, Italians, Japanese, Romanians, and even the US, willingly joining the war for no other reason than to try and gain land or prestige. Oh, and speaking of the Turks, just casually murdering a million or so Armenians in the space of a year. That's roughly the same number the Einsatzgruppen killed in 3+ years, in a much larger swathe of land, BTW. But we don't like to talk about that, because it's not cool to say negative things about the Turks.
@@RIP_Greedo Of course they did. They fit in the "countries that colonized foreign lands with the sole reason being to exploit the land/population for their own gain" category. I didn't mention them with Romania, Bulgaria, etc. because it was a rare case where they didn't join a war solely for land gain. They were actually honoring the 1839 Treaty of London which guaranteed Belgian independence and neutrality. I don't doubt they probably wanted to knock the Germans down off their recently acquired high-horse, but still, they have solid ground to stand on for joining the war, unlike most countries.
The Germans, Austrians, and Turks as faceless villains?! Bro, have you even taken notice of the end of the prologue with the German soldier with despair on his face? The pre-round operations in MP when you play as the central powers and the soldiers tell about their experiences? The intense battle reactions for the central power factions where the soldiers scream in agony and call for their mothers? The hidden dialogue of the soldiers in the campaign that paint them as regular people? smh
"That guys name Adolf Hilter" Actually there is story that a British soldier had him in his sights but chose not to shoot and years later Hitler said that he was spared
I get that they can’t just make everyone use a bolt action rifle in the multiplayer, but I mean, cmon, can’t you exclude the experimental red-dot sights, MP-18s in 1915, and French tanks from late 1918 in ottoman hands in 1916 from the SINGLEplayer?
I found the campaign was interesting but waaaaay to short.. It was like a tutorial for online play. These games should think about working on the single player campaigns more like they used to. Online fun but some people enjoy the story modes and why not a co-op story mode?
I have to strongly disagree with your opinion about Seven Nation Army being a bad choice for the trailer for this. At least for me it stands out as one of the most hyped a trailer has ever got me
My favourite thing about the trailer for this game is that immediately afterwards, a bunch of Americans who'd never heard of half the countries involved suddenly became "experts" in WW1 history and began with the whole "trust me bro, it wasn't just miserably sitting in a trench dying of diarrhea, it was exciting"
Bro the trailer was so fucking hype when it came out. Say what you want about the game but having come off the high of BF4 (and being disappointed by Hardline) and the hype for a AAA WW1 game in 2016 on a new version of the frostbite engine, I was so excited for this game when it came out
The campaign was fun, but very unrealistic, too many prototype weapons and attachments. There were also many lost opportunities, like adding more and better campaigns with each DLC
Day 527 of trying to get Oboe to do a Skyrim Sigurd RP I hope this “series” of playing cod/bf campaigns continues, it’s been fun to see the single player side of games which are mostly known for the multiplayer
The Australian guy in Gallipoli was my favorite mission in BF1, this game was pretty good, I wish they added single player campaigns alongside with the DLCs, but I guess nowadays is a capital sin to make single player DLCs.

0:52: No. Seven Nation Army fit the trailer well.
I'm addicted to your videos. My dealer is going bankrupt because of you.
the handsome jack corrosion got me
5:35 The moment this song started, the Balkans had to struggle not to go to war with each other.
That ending summed up the past 8 years of gaming
The title of this video is insane. It just made me ask "you mean it was good? I don't remember that at all!"
I'm pretty sure that the song is a reference to turkey in the late years of the war. Its a great sadness that the entente failed there.
I'd honestly rather play Verdun/Tannenburg or the Great war Total War mod than the campaign. Multiplayer doesn't really care about historical accuracy all that much so I wouldn't knock it too much.
The "historical" immersion of the campaign ends up getting killed by the fact that everybody is running around with weapons they wouldn't have historically used. For example, I don't remember the Australians running around with trench guns at Gallipoli or the British using silenced sniper rifles.
1:00 True but NGL that bass still fucking slaps.
The anti tank weapon on a guy bit had me rolling 🤣
you got me with the end man, hahaha
"Perry the pilot with a shovel?!"
The only genuinely good part of the campaign was the prologue. Set a very awesome tone with the “you are not expected to survive” prompt. Everything else was just… what? Battlefield but make it stealth missions? So dumb.
The game made a point to portray a respectful, almost reverent tone about the war (again, delivered effectively in the prologue). But that respect does not extend to the French (totally absent from the base game and therefore all campaigns) or to any soldiers of the central powers. Germans, Austrians and Turks are all portrayed as faceless villains to be mowed down in a very non respectful, non reverent manner. Honestly I’d get it if it were a WW2 game. (Ironically Battlefield V’s campaign made more of an effort to portray and humanize Germans even though they were the aggressors in a war of racial annihilation. Fodder for the Wehraboo demo I guess).
When you beat all the war stories there is a bonus “level” that’s just a video montage of how the war’s not over, we’ll keep fighting. And this video makes WW1 looks cool as hell and very fun. Which is the exact opposite of the tone the game tried to strike at the beginning.
But who plays Bf for the single player anyway?
I do because I like it
Learn a thing or two about history. Crying about not giving respect to countries that colonized foreign lands with the sole reason being to exploit the land/population for their own gain. Or, in the case of the Turks, Bulgarians, Italians, Japanese, Romanians, and even the US, willingly joining the war for no other reason than to try and gain land or prestige. Oh, and speaking of the Turks, just casually murdering a million or so Armenians in the space of a year. That's roughly the same number the Einsatzgruppen killed in 3+ years, in a much larger swathe of land, BTW. But we don't like to talk about that, because it's not cool to say negative things about the Turks.
@@rodafowa1279 You're right the British never did any of that either.
@@RIP_Greedo Of course they did. They fit in the "countries that colonized foreign lands with the sole reason being to exploit the land/population for their own gain" category. I didn't mention them with Romania, Bulgaria, etc. because it was a rare case where they didn't join a war solely for land gain. They were actually honoring the 1839 Treaty of London which guaranteed Belgian independence and neutrality. I don't doubt they probably wanted to knock the Germans down off their recently acquired high-horse, but still, they have solid ground to stand on for joining the war, unlike most countries.
The Germans, Austrians, and Turks as faceless villains?! Bro, have you even taken notice of the end of the prologue with the German soldier with despair on his face? The pre-round operations in MP when you play as the central powers and the soldiers tell about their experiences? The intense battle reactions for the central power factions where the soldiers scream in agony and call for their mothers? The hidden dialogue of the soldiers in the campaign that paint them as regular people?
smh
I honestly think bf1 is the best battlefield game. Its just such a solid game
It's ironic how this is the only recent battlefield game with tutorials for every vehicle even though it has the easiest vehicle controls.
The intro and the tank one are the best ones
Haha Hattie Hawks tell us you're from Buckeye City without telling us you're from Buckeye City. OH
i loved BF1, still play its campaign to this day, would play the MP but sadly no one plays it anymore
There’s not many games on world war 1 but damn dice did a good job on it
"That guys name Adolf Hilter"
Actually there is story that a British soldier had him in his sights but chose not to shoot and years later Hitler said that he was spared
.... Which is why he said "that guys named Adolf Hitler"..

“Who thought Gallipoli was a good idea?”
That would be Winston Churchill
pickle rick joke 16 seconds into the video
yep, it's gamer time
I liked the tank mission and the one set in Italy where you start off as a Terminator 😄
I get that they can’t just make everyone use a bolt action rifle in the multiplayer, but I mean, cmon, can’t you exclude the experimental red-dot sights, MP-18s in 1915, and French tanks from late 1918 in ottoman hands in 1916 from the SINGLEplayer?
I found the campaign was interesting but waaaaay to short.. It was like a tutorial for online play. These games should think about working on the single player campaigns more like they used to. Online fun but some people enjoy the story modes and why not a co-op story mode?
I miss the borderlands days when editing wasn't weird
I have to strongly disagree with your opinion about Seven Nation Army being a bad choice for the trailer for this. At least for me it stands out as one of the most hyped a trailer has ever got me
I’d have to remember it all to answer
It ain't as bad as I remember, but it still ain't good
The intro mission was the best part really
It’s staggering how beautiful bf1 looks I miss this game so much. What the hell were they thinking with 2042 man…
My favourite thing about the trailer for this game is that immediately afterwards, a bunch of Americans who'd never heard of half the countries involved suddenly became "experts" in WW1 history and began with the whole "trust me bro, it wasn't just miserably sitting in a trench dying of diarrhea, it was exciting"
3:37
Great impression
BF1 will always be my favorite BF. The campaign always hits for me, especially the pilot campaign.
Bro the trailer was so fucking hype when it came out. Say what you want about the game but having come off the high of BF4 (and being disappointed by Hardline) and the hype for a AAA WW1 game in 2016 on a new version of the frostbite engine, I was so excited for this game when it came out
legit. I cannot play any game involving airplanes that aren't the ace combat controls
The Mass Effect reference was nice
‘I think the Gallipoli campaign was a resounding success’
I mean, the Turks won decisively
No?
The perry the platypus took me tf out
The campaign was fun, but very unrealistic, too many prototype weapons and attachments. There were also many lost opportunities, like adding more and better campaigns with each DLC

I hope this “series” of playing cod/bf campaigns continues, it’s been fun to see the single player side of games which are mostly known for the multiplayer
