@@willysillyplays Wars were why we humans were able to advance as a race. Growth is always found through adversity. But it's still a shame that some people lost their lives. No life should ever be ended for the advancement of our species. But Im afraid thats just brutal reality.
Another lesser known fact. Back then, Shell Shock wasn't a recognized mental illness and instead was considered cowardice/disobedience. Soldiers suffering from Shell Shock were often executed because of this.
This was the first time Shell Shock WAS recognised as a condition and some people were treated compassionately. Makes you wonder about, say, the Victorian-era wars where empires would take over people with spears. What memories did those soldiers bring home, and wake up with at night?
hey bud, I had another video about it, this topic of deserting (shell shocked) soldiers being executed was painful to study. th-cam.com/video/aofkZ8Uq-tw/w-d-xo.html
@@worldcomicsreview354 Shell shock is different to PTSD or rather a different more specific type of PTSD. War in the old ages did not employ the use of explosive artillery shells anywhere near the scale of WWI it is the shock of the explosions that seprate Shell shock from PTSD as the shockwaves cause nerve damage over time.
Honesty the quote "You are not expected to survive" gave so much dread than any other game at the time could of achieved. Making the player feel for once that you are no longer a hero, just another soldier expected to die.
If more games/media sent that message, I believe you would have a lot less glorification of war. Everyone thinks they're going to go to the field and come home as the big hero. Nobody imagines being a nameless corpse laying face down in the dirt somewhere, family wondering where you are/if you're ok. Most men don't even consider it, they're so deluded by ego and rambo fantasies. Life is fragile guys, treat it as such.
@@Nomad0311I was in the Army (11B infantryman) and everyone does anticipate this. They literally tell you in every training event the first person to walk in the door is most likely going to get shot and possibly die. It's an unfortunate reality when clearing buildings you don't actually have full Intel on or are taking over a new area. That's why they train everyone to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible and they make us learn our medevac routine quite vigorously. Of course there is all that egotistical talk, what the hell do you think is gonna lift anyone's spirits when they are being sent to war? The thought of dying is in every one of their heads as well.
All battlefield 5 had to do was bring this atmosphere to WWII. All I wanted was for them to take the single most apocalyptic and deadly conflict ever known with SOME semblance of seriousness.
I feel the Last Tiger was the single best part of the campaign. It shows perfectly what radicalization can do to someone, especially when Kurt and the Commander you play knew it was a lost cause.
A small datail that I love is that the prologue does not tell you where it is. You are just in some muddy wasteland fighting for something you don´t even know, just because you were told you to do it. BF1 Is a masterpiece.
Imagine every time you died or got a kill there would also be a name and a random flashback just to remind you how each one was a real person who had their own lives from childhood to adulthood just to get capped by the main protagonist because he has more health than they do
That would be so devastating to experience even though it’s gimmicky in nature. Just no music, horror atmosphere with an even more gruesome detail added to each death. All Quiet on the Western Front eerieness
@@Just_a_Piano_ With AI they could even have an area where you could interact with that persons profile and the AI could generate dialogue as if it was that actual person where you can talk or type to Might actually give people PTSD though
Vietcong had something a bit similar, you could search killed enemies for ammo, and when you did you could find personal things and Hawkins (main character) actually had comments about it.
To me, shooting the defenseless and broken by accident is a mistake made. Its a reflex, we see an enemy, we right click..... we don't realize what has happened till later. Then we move on. Similar to real life incidents I believe.
very well said, this has been embedded into your mind that thats your enemy and you have to kill him, then its about reflexes that you will shoot at anyone who you think look like you enemy.
I shot them in the intro to be honest. Not because they are enemies, but because it's just like.....these are people who will never become normal people after what they have seen if they make it back home. They will *never* forget what they had to do and what they saw others do to each other, and they can never be a normal person again so its best to mercy kill them for their own sake. To me, the fact they give you the option to mercy kill them shows they understood this war way too well. Just reading letters is enough to churn your stomach, because what even was the war for? Absolutely nothing, and that realization is one of the few things that will genuinely haunt you when you think about WWI. At least with WWII you can say there were "bad guys" but with WWI? No one was a good guy or a bad guy, and that, is absolutely terrifying knowing that. No one was to blame wholly, because everyone used desperate tactics and technology to try to win the war and it just kept getting worse until one side basically couldn't take it anymore. It's depressing, and it makes you angry when you read about things like the Somme and makes you understand why there were mutinies and constant problems with soldiers denying orders. Too many by the end refused to kill because they realised there was no point. The Great War has very good videos on the entire timeline of WWI on YT, and there were times in videos he was actually genuinely angry because it's so hard to believe generals and officers actually made them go through with plans like the Battles of the Somme and the Battles of the Isonzo River. It's just madness.
thats jsut what happened...in the days of the great war, there was no PTSD, there was no shellshock, there was no warcrimes....each side pushed their men to breaking point, with barely a scrap to the name of each push, men that originally thought that they where fighting for what they believed in, but instead they fought for what other made them fight for, they all gave up something so we can breath the way we did today, thinking that they where making a change....thats why i believe their will never be a generation greater than the heroes who fought for what we have today
Another fact you may not know about WW1, At the time of the WW1, the leaders of the world's three greatest nations - King George V of Great Britain and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia on the one hand, and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany on the other - were first cousins, their grandmother was Queen Victoria, interesting, isn't it? Million thanks guys for the support, please don't forget to like and subscribe to support this small channel.
I remember it again. I accidentally killed one of "broken" Germans and immediately regret it. BF1 was a masterpiece of drama and cinematography in video games. After the Intro I needed a breather and stopped playing for that evening. I myself was in the Army but I never got deployed. My father, uncles, older cousins and grandfather on the other hand did see combat, some of them even very intense. I am glad that I never saw combat.
Yes it feels very bad, it feels like a war crime, and I am pretty sure your relatives who are in army and have seen war will never ever glorify war because they have seen it, btw thanks for watching please do subscribe if possible.
It’s just a game m8. No feels for fiction not one bit. If I was playing as a real character and I saw the history behind em yes. But I looked people up after the names came on screen and immediately just played as normal after.
@@maomaomaimaimao honestly?...if you want to be absolutly blunt then its almost mercv killing. All these soldiers went to experience something unimagineable and they have to life with it. Nobody around them understands them. Look at all those soldiers who come home after doing "their duty for their nation" and how they get treated.
The soldiers who were present took one last look at there families knowing damn well they were not coming back, and its sad because most people dont understand....they never will
@@willysillyplays its said that more than once, as french soldiers were being given their mission briefing and sent to the lines, the conscripted men would bleat like lambs, to mock their officers and paint the grimness of the situation
I understand. And that is why if I'm drafted, I'm going to immediately turn renegade. I have no land. I have no family. I have no future. Yet society wants me to die for it? Naw, I'd rather die spiting it, to enact revenge for all the previous victims of it. My beliefs were reaffirmed, when I saw the inside of a C-47 paratrooper plan. It feels like a haunted house, a testament to humanity's madness. Barren walls not thick enough to stop bullets, a cockpit two sizes too small. The outside looked dashing and inviting, the inside looked like you were sent to hell...because that would be exactly where you were going.There were no furnishings, only function, like what a Go-Kart looks like vs. a full sized car.
@@willysillyplays yeah that is true. I think it’s hard for non gamers to realize that we don’t have fun with killing people, but more with competition and sadly, fighting for your own life is the biggest competition you can get. I think that’s the reason why war games are that popular
@@willysillyplays "Do you think he will fight? When the blood, and the screams take hold. Do you think he would stay? He would flee! And he would be right to do so. War will be the death of man."
12:20 is a moment I'll never forget. The look of relief on the German soldier's face, after the nod from the Harlem hellfighter, says more than any amount of words too. 2 men tired from....everything deciding, in that moment, to be human again. It's a powerful image. This was brilliant from DICE.
What I love about the intro is the severe, haunting lack of music. Just ominous droning coming from shellshock, explosions, warmachines looming in the distance. If you put yourself there, to be there, you'll be scared. You will be scared.
You can hear some Silent Hill-ish ambient drones, though. Not that it detracts from the mood of the scene. Chlorine gas is far more terrifying than any fictional monster or demon.
I know it's probably the point, but that scene of the two soldiers lowering their weapons always makes me tear up slightly. It's such a powerful image. At the end of the day, those are people behind the guns and that's what BF1 was aiming for. To bring us closer to the human side, rather than just more shooty shooty boom boom, action hero BS.
@@dixenherize6969Learn some empathy you reptile. There's no shame in someone feeling sad over a tragic message. There is shame in whatever the hell you tried to bring though.
In so many games, you play as THE main character. People fall and die around you but you fight to the last, knowing you will canonically make it - even if you die and have to re-load the checkpoint. Battlefield 1’s campaigns and even the multiplayer too stripped me of whatever heroism I felt about joining up. Used to want to join up as a kid, but eventually realised it wasn’t for me. Even now, the threat of global conflict still looms, and I truly believe that the only way I could ever fight to the bitter end is if my country were to be invaded, same as these Ukrainians are likely feeling still now. This game played a vital role in reminding me that most likely, in the event I was shipped off to fight for a land I never knew, in a war completely alien to me, I’d likely be curled in a ball crying my eyes out same as anyone. War breaks people, and the army knows that, so they break you before war can, forcing you to be able to work well under a hail of fire, and to still remain somewhat sane amongst the insanity. To put it simply, war is hell.
Yeah bro, at least we are agreed on one thing, we hate war but when their is no other way around than you must brace yourself for it, like you said Ukrainians, doesn't matter if they love or hate war but they are forced to fight to protect what they love.
It was because for centuries war has been romanticized as a heroic battle between a purely good side and the evil side. Incredible heroes fight against evil and give peace back to the good. This is most commonly seen in cultural depictions such as art, music, literature and many more mediums that were and are still accesible today.
The you are not expected to survive part at first made me think, ya okay I'm the main guy I'm sure I'll be fine. Then you actually die and the name comes up and I was like holy shit I really wasn't gonna make it, it really made it feel like a real battle I was part of not just part of fighting bc I can die just like anyone else with no checkpoint load like real war, and damn my guy was only 19 that really hits ya when you get someone that young you die as
yeap bud, this first mission has another feeling to it and no doubt its a masterpiece, we have never experienced a game before like that, it tells you right away no matter how good you are at war you still going to die and won't survive.
Ngl, it would be cool a Battlefield campaign where you don't play as a single Main character instead play ZombiU style (You die, you control a new character while also losing the previous character skills and items) but instead control a soldier nearby and each soldier has a different class
As somebody who is 19 years old, has anxiety, and is a history buff, the idea that in ww1 and ww2 most of the soldiers were within a year or two of my age, oftentimes a year or two younger, and were going through this absolute Hellscape is very sobering. It makes me appreciate all of the sacrifices on both sides of the wars more. On the off chance that anybody who reads this served in the military, thank you for your service.
This entire game with no HUD and maxed out settings on a 4K monitor is probably one of the most visceral and grisly depictions of any armed conflicts in the history of gaming. All its missing is the blood and limbs flying everywhere to be honest
There's games on PC that capture the limbs. I played one that enemies that had been wounded would occasionally fall to the ground and sob, calling out for their mother until they died from their wounds. It really puts things into perspective.
I heard that Dice didnt go for intense g*re and blood because they didnt want to look disrespectful and turn killing in a war more brutally fun than it already is
I played it, i tried many times to survive the intro but failed. Hahaha. Just after the intro i already hate war. Not like cod, i desire to be like them, they look cool, though , hardcore & crazy commando guys who was a man idol. Good job dice, they tell the story really good for me to open my eyes that war is terrible & I announce to you I really hate war because that game
In Ottoman Empire, Sivas Highschool couldn't graduate anyone in year 1915 because every student of that year got killed in the war. War is a thing that should never happen.
I feel like BF1's greatest feat in its campaign is making the player feel emotions other than just sheer gaming excitement when pulling the trigger. The intro makes you feel desperate and not in control, the aircraft one seeds you doubt that you're not a good person behind the sights, the cavalry one plants disgust at each enemy because you're racing with time, the Italy one gives you revenge catharsis with each kill, etc etc. When you immerse yourself in it, you didn't just feel "haha headshot goes ding". A good game immerses you in both its fun and feelings.
Those aren't sad soldiers, those have PTSD or "shellshock" damages. Poor guys, they were the first in history to experiment that brain damage caused by the horror of that "new" war
Shellshock actually existed far far far FAR before the great war. It’s gone as far back as the romans suffering symptoms of PTSD after fighting in the colosseum. The american Civil War is another great example. Many cases of what I believe was called “Nostalgia” at the time, but it was the then unknown and undiscovered PTSD.
Hands down one of the greatest campaigns in the fact it faithfully (for the most part) depicted WW1 without glorifying it in a war that say COD black ops glorified the vietnam war
nailed it bro!! in most cases COD have glorified war, showing an unkillable protagonist, that campaign from BF1 is something different and closer to reality.
Honestly, if they had kept the weapons load out more realistic, it would have really cemented the helpless feeling of some poor conscript thrown into hell.. with nothing more than a bolt action rifle, facing off against hundreds of nameless conscripts just like yourself, having to charge a machine gun nest with nothing more than five rounds and a bayonet…
@@dixenherize6969 a few off the top of my head: Spec ops the line This War of mine Valiant hearts: The great war are all games with very clear War is horrible/bad messages and moments, spec ops the line has even made people not want to pick it up again from a particularly horrific sequence in the game
Those soldiers wandering like zombies have "shellshock". It's a type of mental illness that became prominent during WW1 from the endless bombardment. This was when DICE still cared about presentation & storytelling.
I was in the process of signing up for the army when bf1 came out, i will be forever thankful as i did not go tru in my decision after having a minuscule feel of the horrible possible fate i was signing my life away to.
one of the most saddening things i see in video games is enemies with oxygen tanks, flamethrower tanks or whatever they have on their back having those tanks get shot, ignite, the enemy panics, and the tanks explode and kill them. it really is just sad seeing them panic before their untimely demise
This is probably going to sound dumb but BF5 really helped me understand how it feels to be living with PTSD. Whenever those V-1 Rockets or JB-2s were called in, that distinct buzzing sound it made always stuck with me. So much so, that when I first heard it in real life, I legit started to feel anxious and was looking up in the sky to see if anything was coming down. I felt pretty stupid in that moment, but humbled that I don't have to live like that everyday
Oh god I remember my first jitterbug, fighting on OG twisted steel (UK vs. GR) I hear the sound and look up, trying to remember what the sound was. Seeing that flying tube, I just hit the deck nearby the town closest to allied spawn. Once I heard the cut and explosion and looked back, I could see alll the way to the rivers other side. All the buildings, soldiers, gone. It was one hell of a memory in game.
@@1991USsoldier that's great, I never made it out of Navy Bootcamp as I messed up my knee while I was in, but I've had ptsd from childhood so ik how difficult it is getting rid of it. Glad your doing better.
they just do an amazing job at showing how painful war really is. they show how it’s not just a good guy and a bad guy and i really appreciate dice for that.
people always see war through the eyes of the victors, but dont realize that neither side in war sees their side as evil, and often times they are convinced why their side is right, or even lied to in order to try and dehumanize the enemy forces in their minds even in modern day you can find genuine propaganda that does so, modern day north korea convinces their citizens that countries like the united staces actually eat babies, and the people there believe it because they are so isolated, similar tactics were used in ww1 and ww2 to try and get people to enlist, though not to the same extent as with north korea today basically, at the end of the day, propaganda sucks and in war everyone is fighting for what they think is right
This was, in every way, the best bf ever. One aspect of the game I really appreciate is the fact that the game maps are usually beautiful, full of life, peace and history, some place you would love to leave on, but as soon as the match actually starts, the destruction takes place piece by piece, and by the time the matche ends, you end up watching a place so rid of life and beauty that could only be compared to an apocalyptic and sadistic horror movie. The sadness hits hard, and you can even have fun playing and causing destruction, but the moment you stop for a second and realized your surroundings, it hits hard. What a brilliant game.
As well as being a phenomenal way to tell a story, it's a great gameplay mechanic. It allowed them to show off different weapons and mechanics without it feeling pushed onto the player. It felt fluid although maybe a little jarring. Just shows that death can be used as a mechanic in multiple ways. Well done.
As a soldier in the US Army, generation Z, I sure hope we don’t resort to this sort of madness. I haven’t experienced any combat as I am just a support unit. But my job entails being in convoys. Driving HMMWVs, LMTVs, MRAPS, anything that’s got wheels on it. God bless those who have fallen before my time that have sacrificed everything to get me where I am today.
Hey buddy, it's quite honor for me that an ex-soldier saw my video and commented, can't feel better than this :) and yes so many young men sacrificed their lives so Gen Z like us can live in peace XD Thanks again buddy for stopping by, I hope you have a nice day today!
Well, we're all lucky to have the rules of war in place now because of this. Though it's still a tragedy nonetheless that all those people that died in the World Wars was what had to be paid in blood, for us to finally realize 'We need to hold ourselves to a standard if we're going to start anymore wars'
"Hold at all cost" the objectives didn't specify how much time to defend that position, it just want you to do the objective and never expect you to complete the objective
Battlefield ended with the war to end all wars, everything that came after was a mistake. I never gave ea a single penny for the atrocity that they created post bf1. I'm still waiting for a new battlefield whilst playing BF1.
and another thing is they totally massacred historical facts in their new BF V, those last 2 releases from EA were really bad not sure what happened to them after BF1.
Good on you man, too few people are boycotting new BF while that is the only language EA understands - money. The people who complain about it, yet keep buying it are hypocrites.
@@willysillyplays I'm sure it's because many old devs left the studio, this is what usually happens when once remarkable studios degenerate with games that are unrecognizable to their past titles.
Out of all the triple A fps games, this is probably the one that is most respectful. Not in terms of historical accuracy (because it really isn't), but in terms of dealing with the futility and horror of war.
My great grandfather fought in WW1 for the entire length of the war. He was 14 when he and all of the other men and boys from his village volunteered. He was 1 of very few to come back. He never once spoke of the war. Just pretended it never happened till he died in 1962 so none of know what he did.
I love playing these war games because to me it teaches me just how horrible war can be to an extent. Playing those games also taught me that I can never be a soldier in a war. I'm not brave to run head first into oncoming fire, I wouldn't like letting the smell of gunpowder, smoke and rot in my nostrils nor would I have the stomach to pull the trigger on another person. And even if I did, I'd probably end up just going crazy about it. I hear talk from people and it's mostly just the internet how soldiers (they mostly say US but rarely about any other country) are nothing but serial killers, child rapists, devils, any sort of bad name really. To an extent, I can understand where they are coming from. War brings the WORST out of everyone that is affected by it directly and there are stories during the Vietnam war for example that just didn't make the US look good at all. The US did a lot of fucked up shit and civilians were literally getting fucked from both sides. But I sometimes wonder those people who love to bad mouth a lot behind a screen, I wonder how they would do in a warzone. Sometimes to help someone understand, they just need to experience something first-hand that allows them to comprehend it all.
see the thing is bud im the same...but i have this....feeling...that if i was stuck under those circumstances, under those conditions i believe i could do stuff like that...i mean, id be shit scared to, so would anyone if they were in those situations, we are all able to make amazing human feats, from you managing to push all the way through to the enemies trench and somehow not get shot to landing the perfect shot to take outt he one guy that has been stopping your side from doing anything....if you was under the rigth conditions i know youd 100% be brave enough to push yourself to be a hero like everyone has the ability to
Beautifully explained buddy, the only way we could ever jump in a war is when we know there no other way, glorify war as much as one can but once you die in a war as a soldier no body remembers your name unless you are some sort of general or a leader, how many of us know names of poor soldiers died in ww1 or WW2? So I would never jump in a war knowing no one will remember me that I went through this shit and died.
Man this video made me emotional, war is a terrifying thing to exist. Over all my live playing war, shooter , and zombie games, I now understand how bad it is, all the men getting sent off and probably not returning home to their families truly is sad.
yeap bud, honestly when I saw these soldiers for the first time, it instantly made me emotional and was cursing myself how I missed these soldiers when I was playing it First, but I guess we were trying to get as many enemies as possible when we first played it.
This scene also was important to how the war affected people because the song playing while the man has flashbacks is actually from the 20s (may have to check the battlefield wiki again,) therefore adding a level of people having post war trauma. I like how Battlefield 1 doesn't just make a fun experience, but tried to also show the horrors of war through the campaign, and it shows the loss of people important to these characters. Storm of Steel makes you deal with all these flashbacks, the unnamed 369th infantry regiment soldier has to deal with the loss of the tank driver, the guy with the automatico, and the shotgunner. Luca searched the Austrian Alps till the end of the earth in order to find his brother Mateo, only for him to be dead. Edwards and McManus lost everyone. They lost Townsend, Finch, Pritchard, and Black Bess. Poor little Jack Foster lost Bishop, who was his current father figure. We, the player, outside of the game, lost Wilson, who we actually got the chance to deeply bond with through the story, and we think he lives, but Blackburn says at the beginning "If you ask me to name my biggest fault, I'd have to tell you i'm just not a very honest person." and at the end says "What you heard from me is the truth. I wouldn't tell you if it wasn't... would I?" after telling a quick variation of the story where he's a rogue pilot, Winston dies, and he uses a german air raid to escape punishment for his actions. Winston never made it out of that wreckage and died as Blackburn went back to friendly territory on his own. If we go off of the historical story of T.E. Lawrence and not just the BF1 appearance, he lost someone close to him (also has been implied and believed to be a lover of sorts) to typhus pre-1918. At least one person in every campaign has loss.
My only hate for this game, is the fact that the devs refuse to release the modding SDK support for single player levels so we can create our own...its what makes old games like Half-Life or Doom 1993 last longer (prolly even compared to this game) than typical games nowadays. I cant really comment on the game's message about war cuz im not a historian or military games addict.
@@mightyx5441 yea it might be, but in the past older cod games does have support for mods. Ever heard of Back to Fronts mod for CoD2? Thats kind of mods im talking, its not really MP mod, but rather SP mod....
As a war historian, everyone thinks I love war. Honestly knowing more makes me hate it so much more than staying in the dark. War is hell. Never forget that.
Miré este video en un televisor, y después de ver una demo de un juego de terror indie situado en la defensa de una trinchera rusa. Creo que ambas cosas lograron que este gameplay se sintiera aún más... incómodo Con el sabor agrio que me dejó el anterior video, la imposibilidad de leer los comentarios, y sobretodo esa oración del principio... "No se supone que sobrevivas" Esas palabras, y; cómo esta misión está hecha en general, me recordó a varios videos de terror análogo de supuestos juegos flash que vi alguna vez. Siempre mostrando caras deformadas que representan los peligros que nos ocurren en la realidad, que nos van persiguiendo poco a poco hasta que finalmente nos alcanzan y cuando eso ocurre, podemos ver sus horrendos rostros en primer plano, antes de ser secuestrados, comidos o descuartizados, y solo cuando llegas a ese fatidico final, te das cuenta que nunca tuviste el control de nada en primer lugar...
Rarely do you experience a campaign mission where you're playing what is seen as the "good guys" and are expected to lose. Even rarer still are the missions that give the context and nuance required to feel bad for the enemy as well as the allies.
Yeap buddy, this is something that you never see or feel in other games, BF1 just make you feels so guilty even if you accidently kill one of these soldiers.
8:28 I always forget until it's too late the soldier on his back in that section. Like his legs are broken or something and all he can see is a moving pillar of metal and death roll up next to him. Seeing him writhe around like he can't grip anything feels pretty bad
It's worse when you go and research about it later, you find about aobut stuff like trench foot, shellshock, ptsd, and other conditions that at the time, were just seen as irrational fear so they'd be yelled at and turned back around. It's almost depressing that any of that had to happen in the first place, twice for that matter.
BF1 imo still has great world building because it shows you what soldiers of ww1 go through with them thinking this will be one of the adventures and experiences of a lifetime thats quickly overshadowed by how grim the situation has really dug itself into Its like All Quiet On The Western Front while maintaining a fun game
one of line that I loved in that movie was: That senior German soldier (forgot his name) sees underage soldiers instantly says "damn if this war kept going, next time they are going to send toddlers" the line was something like, this movie was very well written though.
The Prologue Mission to BF1 makes you think of the ending Mission to Halo Reach (Lone Wolf), "You are not expected to survive" and yet as Gamers we try our best to hold out for as long as possible against impossible odds
bf1 shows the reality of war something they messed up in on bf V where a finish or denish girl jumps of a twintower sized bridge and survives. Still hope some day they make a historically acurate bf V cause the one they have now seems like its rushed to completion wich is kinda sad. Only story i rly enioyed was the last tiger. That one had a little more realism put into it but the rest was just a mess sadly enough :/
haha yeah BFV was a disappointment when they did so good with BF1, they must have a clear idea what the bf fans really love but they decided to go exactly opposite in case of BFV.
@@willysillyplays yeah like i said i think they rushed it and thats how they fuqqed it up. They didnt do their research otherwhise they knew the tiger tanks wasnt made in 1940 or 1941 Same with the story lines they dont feel realistic they feel like they come from a marvel movie. Only the last tiger i enjoyed watching but the other story lines i didnt feel like they were very realistic maybe the french story line? But the british one felt fake the norway one definately felt fake and the online battles you almost only hear women screams if it was a modern war game i understand but in ww2 women didnt fight with exceptions for france and russia ofcourse
@@gino-cz9zu not 1000 but often very small teams of specially trained men would go out into the desert for days scouting and destroying or sabotaging Axis airbases and camps. Troublemakers like Bridger would have been recruited because by nature the LRDG and later the SAS were much more lax on orders, generally being "see that axis base, go in a blow it up".
The game becomes so much more terrifying when you turn all the music down, turn the hud off, and get rid of the kill confirmation. All that happens then is the bodies fall and the shells rain overhead, perfectly encapsulating how it may have been like
Not gonna lie, I've played Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1 too late after their prime has passed, and now that I've gonne through Overwatch 2, and engaged with that atrocity... I cannot understand how that piece of crap won Goty 2016, when that year we had Battlefield I
It showed hopelessness. That mission was frustrating as no matter what you did you end up losing one way or another. There is not a way to win and you are suppose to lose. Shows that in war you are probably not the hero and no matter how hard you struggle death is the most likely outcome. It also shows how one persons epic battle is meaningless to the others. You fight as a soldier holding the line only to die. The tank crew takes over and manages to slaughter many enemies but they to end up in the same fate. You then take over a squad further behind the tank and valiantly defend the area. You are doing well until suddenly you are overwhelmed and your entire squad and everything what happened there gets forgotten to history. In each part you think you are the hero until you are not. Hard to explain the exact feeling I get from this but at the end of the day all lose and that is what you are suppose to do in war. Throw away your life thinking you are doing good, only to be replaced by another "hero" until one side has no more left
I love how this game dosent revolve around an Mc it goes around from soldier to soldier because there is no Mc in war you are not expected to survive anyways and this game truly shows how war is there are no winners only death,destruction, and misery
You know, after playing the BF1 I didn't really think much of it. Just thought it was a casual arcade type shooter but now after a couple years I watch this video and it never really crossed my mind like at all. War is really a deadly and brutal landscape that not many soldiers come back the same way ever again. My mom's told me stuff about how most soldiers never come back the same again and that they act like they've lost sanity and this just proves that. And the fact that most of them were young and died that young really made me think about how horrifying yet truly heartbreaking it was. Other than that, thanks for opening my mind onto this and I appreciate it :D
Hey bud, yes very well said, it doesn't brief or train you, just throws you in and tells you you won't survive there. This is something that you don't see in other games, props to DICE for this one :)
I wish devs peered more into this type of story Showing the depths of hell soldiers go through, showing the depravity of the war and how it impacted both sides of the conflict. One game I always felt that hit that mark was Spec Ops: The Line, It lulled you into the sense of being this good guy fighting in a non-descriptive battle fighting regular baddies when you slowly reveal the truth and witness the consequences of your actions God I might play that game again hahaha
even the calm song choice in the beginning “dream a little dream about me” goes perfect with the transition from being in a dream to a chaotic battlefield.
The intro in BF1 makes you realize, that those things depicted happened, and you realize you are fighting pepole that Did nothing to you. You realize that you are fighting a war that shouldnt even happen. Games like battlefield 1 , far cry 3 and other titles give you the realization that you arent killing random pepole, all of them had lives that you took in one way or another. Maybe they had families that they wont return to. There are alot of shooters where this is skipped Over, or not mentioned at all. I wish game designers would give us something just like that, but that wont be possible anymore, atleast not in the near future.
I have a valiant distant relative who fought for the U.S. army in the battle of the Argonne forest. He was hit by mustard gas and survived. We still have his campaign medal.
i played BF1 and BF5 for at least two hundred hours, both total war gamemodes and breakthrough gamemodes. it doesnt matter what role i play as, its always overwhelming, its always difficult to win, it always make you lose your sense of direction and situational awareness. the longer you survive, the longer you notice little details, notice enemy and allied patterns, even go as far as flinching to every little vibration or noise, your survival insticts is stronger than your duty as a soldier, i believe its what those who return from war suffer from, what we call PTSD. the sense of ultimate survival. as an assault you're always overwhelmed by the sheer number of infantry and vehicles. as an engineer you have unlimited ammo, but almost always you'll be firing non-stop. if it were a real war you'd run out of ammo for goddamn sure. as a medic you're constantly overwhelmed between staying alive, doing objectives, and keeping the rest on this plane. as a sniper you are never safe because soldiers dont like getting shot by snipers from 200 meters away so they'd carry weapons that can fire back at you. the harder you push, the harder they push back. its chaotic. and im glad i only get to experience it in a video game, and not in real life.
no way I will ever kill them it feels like worse war crime, it breaks your heart instantly you spot them I don't think anyone can kill them unless they dont know about WW1 history and how bad that was for these poor soldiers.
@@willysillyplays After the one mistake I did, I never tried to shoot them again. To me, these men had enough of war. Their on instinct now. Maybe in their own mute world surrounded by the death.
@@olivesandgrapesareok9324 yeah buddy, seems like they are done with everything around them and doesn't care if someone kills them, spare them or whatever.
It is not the most accurate WW1 media. But like vanilla World at War, without mods, it is Authentic. And a hidden lesson. War is Fun in games, but it is also, really, a terrible, terrible, terrible, thing created by mankind to settle scores, in which by the end, seem very stupid, after you look at the ruins, and the mangled, smashed, broken, physically and mentally human beings. I remember seeing a german soldier, walking from battle, in a tattered exhausted state. And after I had well, stupidly shot him, I actually reloaded the mission to avoid that, and just said merely, "what have I done". A game rarely did that for me.
Yeap buddy, this is far the most immersive and historically accurate game that DICE has come close to, it's too good in many aspects, it helped me learn about WW1, I only knew about WW2 especially allied offenses before that game, due to curiosity after playing this game I searched and learned alot of WW1. And yes, it feels like a bloo*y war crime shooting these heartbroken soldier, it doesn't even feels like a game at some point it feels like I have done it in real life.
actually it's right after gaming went to shit it was one shining ray of hope in the industry we hoped that games would be more like this and they only got worse
You gotta remember that these people are not like us we see war in video games movies and tv. So to them all this is new and a real hell on earth situation
So many wars happened in history and still so many believes how epic they are. Its terrifying how goverment propaganda is powerful and will beat experience of fathers and their telling to their sons about the hell. And sadly this is not only on one side.
yeah buddy, and all of the Achievement / land gained by war were taken back sooner or later, so a war is never a solution instead it creates more problem, but leaders of world, the power of their nations gets into their heads, and they decide to occupy others land, and that put millions of people lives at stake.
Medieval wars weren’t much better. They didn’t have internet, or as great of information gathering/sharing techniques. And with castle sieges, being the first up a ladder in a ladder rush often meant meeting a Mancatcher, Spear, Billhook, Polehammer, Halberd, Warhammer, and any number of weapons to the face. You go up the ladder first, you die first. Hell, most sieges were usually just waiting for the people in the town or castle to starve to death. And open-fields weren’t great either, with all the horns, yelling, chainmail or plate scraping, and the terrible wounds every single Medieval weapons can inflict with not much effort put into it. (For context, holding a Longsword and letting it “fall” while holding and using the falseedge it will tear apart an unarmored person. Now imagine what a full Halberd or Billhook swing would do.) In my opinion, the only honor to be found in violence is defending your own, or those who cannot defend themselves, but even then there are much more honorable options than violence. War is hell. Time periods change nothing.
I once bayonet charged through gas and fire in forest's bunker and of the enemy wrote: 'I had a heart attack seeing a quy runnig out of gas and flames just to kill someone'
The last clips makes me cry. From how easy the war is; from taking lives of others, total destruction towards surrounding, how evil human's madness are. Driving people into fear, savage and being animals; hungry for others blood only for the sake of survivability.... until there's only 1 person for both sides, they realised... what they have been fighting for... what's the body count killed for... what war is for... *It's all useless*
I know this probably sounds stupid but the opening song "Dream a little dream of me" just activates some weird trauma response in me ever since I played Battlefield 1 for the first time. Again, I know it sounds stupid to be traumatized by a video game but Storm of Steel opened my eyes as a teenager to what war really is. The phrase "war is hell" is an understatement, because we created this, humans created a "hell on earth" and if hell is anything like what we've created in World War 1, then I don't want to fight anymore. My hands clench, my teeth grind, I got feel the very vessel that is my body shake in fear of the reality of war and what it means, suffering, carnage, loss, fear, hatred, frenzy... that is what goes through my mind everytime I hear the opening song of Storm of Steel, it will NEVER leave my mind.
The value of a soldier's life is often overlooked. It takes years to raise a person, but only seconds for them to die. As a Souls game developer once said, "They want to show you death more than usual." This means that in reality, soldiers care much more about life than they are often given credit for. They do not take the lives of their enemies lightly, and they know that every soldier who dies has a family and memories. It is a painful thought to know that you have killed someone who had so much to live for. The value of a soldier's life is not just in their ability to fight, but also in their humanity. They are people who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country and their loved ones.
I'm excited to be picking up a WWI 1911 that was refitted/parjerized for WWII, one of only 21,000 made, likely only one of hundreds surviving in its condition

Hey, thank you
Makes you hate war, yet gives a cathartic ding with every kill.
hehe I agree its because of wars that we get masterpiece games like these XD, but I still wished these wars never happened.
@@willysillyplays Well it's sad but it was inevitable, the world is very evil.
The MOST cathartic ding
Clem?
@@willysillyplays Wars were why we humans were able to advance as a race. Growth is always found through adversity. But it's still a shame that some people lost their lives. No life should ever be ended for the advancement of our species. But Im afraid thats just brutal reality.
Another lesser known fact. Back then, Shell Shock wasn't a recognized mental illness and instead was considered cowardice/disobedience. Soldiers suffering from Shell Shock were often executed because of this.
Being executed in battle is....better than suffering in ww1
Dont you think ?
If you think about it, executed soldier got the best death than suffering
This was the first time Shell Shock WAS recognised as a condition and some people were treated compassionately.
Makes you wonder about, say, the Victorian-era wars where empires would take over people with spears. What memories did those soldiers bring home, and wake up with at night?
hey bud, I had another video about it, this topic of deserting (shell shocked) soldiers being executed was painful to study.

@@worldcomicsreview354 Shell shock is different to PTSD or rather a different more specific type of PTSD. War in the old ages did not employ the use of explosive artillery shells anywhere near the scale of WWI it is the shock of the explosions that seprate Shell shock from PTSD as the shockwaves cause nerve damage over time.
Honesty the quote "You are not expected to survive" gave so much dread than any other game at the time could of achieved. Making the player feel for once that you are no longer a hero, just another soldier expected to die.
yeap buddy well said, there are no heroes and villains in war just ordinary human beings trying to serve their nation and carryout orders.
@@willysillyplays hell sometimes it’s not even that they are just trying to survive man
If more games/media sent that message, I believe you would have a lot less glorification of war. Everyone thinks they're going to go to the field and come home as the big hero. Nobody imagines being a nameless corpse laying face down in the dirt somewhere, family wondering where you are/if you're ok. Most men don't even consider it, they're so deluded by ego and rambo fantasies. Life is fragile guys, treat it as such.
@@Nomad0311I was in the Army (11B infantryman) and everyone does anticipate this. They literally tell you in every training event the first person to walk in the door is most likely going to get shot and possibly die. It's an unfortunate reality when clearing buildings you don't actually have full Intel on or are taking over a new area. That's why they train everyone to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible and they make us learn our medevac routine quite vigorously. Of course there is all that egotistical talk, what the hell do you think is gonna lift anyone's spirits when they are being sent to war? The thought of dying is in every one of their heads as well.
there never are any heroes to start with, war is hell, no matter what its shown in, games, movies, anything
I love how people are still mesmorised by bf1 even 7 years after release. The game and it's message will never die
It's like a wine, the older it is getting the more value it is holding within.
Such a masterpiece.

All battlefield 5 had to do was bring this atmosphere to WWII. All I wanted was for them to take the single most apocalyptic and deadly conflict ever known with SOME semblance of seriousness.
Totally agreed buddy, they knew what gamers want from feedback bf1 had, yet they decided to go opposite of it.
I feel the Last Tiger was the single best part of the campaign. It shows perfectly what radicalization can do to someone, especially when Kurt and the Commander you play knew it was a lost cause.
D-Day would have been an amazing campaign mission

A small datail that I love is that the prologue does not tell you where it is. You are just in some muddy wasteland fighting for something you don´t even know, just because you were told you to do it. BF1 Is a masterpiece.
France most likely iirc most guys you play in the prolouge are supposed to be harlem hellfighters
@@agentpuggles5704 Yes, and during the cinematic, you hear soldiers screaming "à couvert !" which means "take cover" in french.
given the accuracy of this game in depicting WW1, it could be anywhere...even Mars.
Imagine every time you died or got a kill there would also be a name and a random flashback just to remind you how each one was a real person who had their own lives from childhood to adulthood just to get capped by the main protagonist because he has more health than they do
Damn buddy, that would be sick never thought of this but would have loved if they added this.
That would be so devastating to experience even though it’s gimmicky in nature. Just no music, horror atmosphere with an even more gruesome detail added to each death. All Quiet on the Western Front eerieness
maybe not after like every kill because it would just get annoying after a bit. but maybe each time you die or something
@@Just_a_Piano_ With AI they could even have an area where you could interact with that persons profile and the AI could generate dialogue as if it was that actual person where you can talk or type to
Might actually give people PTSD though
Vietcong had something a bit similar, you could search killed enemies for ammo, and when you did you could find personal things and Hawkins (main character) actually had comments about it.
To me, shooting the defenseless and broken by accident is a mistake made. Its a reflex, we see an enemy, we right click..... we don't realize what has happened till later. Then we move on. Similar to real life incidents I believe.
very well said, this has been embedded into your mind that thats your enemy and you have to kill him, then its about reflexes that you will shoot at anyone who you think look like you enemy.
happens a lot, sometimes with civilians and even allies.
I shot them in the intro to be honest. Not because they are enemies, but because it's just like.....these are people who will never become normal people after what they have seen if they make it back home. They will *never* forget what they had to do and what they saw others do to each other, and they can never be a normal person again so its best to mercy kill them for their own sake. To me, the fact they give you the option to mercy kill them shows they understood this war way too well.
Just reading letters is enough to churn your stomach, because what even was the war for? Absolutely nothing, and that realization is one of the few things that will genuinely haunt you when you think about WWI. At least with WWII you can say there were "bad guys" but with WWI? No one was a good guy or a bad guy, and that, is absolutely terrifying knowing that. No one was to blame wholly, because everyone used desperate tactics and technology to try to win the war and it just kept getting worse until one side basically couldn't take it anymore. It's depressing, and it makes you angry when you read about things like the Somme and makes you understand why there were mutinies and constant problems with soldiers denying orders. Too many by the end refused to kill because they realised there was no point.
The Great War has very good videos on the entire timeline of WWI on YT, and there were times in videos he was actually genuinely angry because it's so hard to believe generals and officers actually made them go through with plans like the Battles of the Somme and the Battles of the Isonzo River. It's just madness.
thats jsut what happened...in the days of the great war, there was no PTSD, there was no shellshock, there was no warcrimes....each side pushed their men to breaking point, with barely a scrap to the name of each push, men that originally thought that they where fighting for what they believed in, but instead they fought for what other made them fight for, they all gave up something so we can breath the way we did today, thinking that they where making a change....thats why i believe their will never be a generation greater than the heroes who fought for what we have today
Left click you mean?
Another fact you may not know about WW1,
At the time of the WW1, the leaders of the world's three greatest nations - King George V of Great Britain and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia on the one hand, and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany on the other - were first cousins, their grandmother was Queen Victoria, interesting, isn't it?
Million thanks guys for the support, please don't forget to like and subscribe to support this small channel.
its insane, but interesting. a lot of the royal families who were at war with one another ended up being related somehow.
Most brilliant game opening ever. Every game should be like this.
I learned that for the first time in Kings Man
also the king of romania
Family drama escalating to the World's stage 😭
I remember it again. I accidentally killed one of "broken" Germans and immediately regret it. BF1 was a masterpiece of drama and cinematography in video games. After the Intro I needed a breather and stopped playing for that evening. I myself was in the Army but I never got deployed. My father, uncles, older cousins and grandfather on the other hand did see combat, some of them even very intense. I am glad that I never saw combat.
Yes it feels very bad, it feels like a war crime, and I am pretty sure your relatives who are in army and have seen war will never ever glorify war because they have seen it, btw thanks for watching please do subscribe if possible.

The soldiers who were present took one last look at there families knowing damn well they were not coming back, and its sad because most people dont understand....they never will
yup bud, totally agreed but unfortunately the young boys that were sent to War were told exactly opposite of this.
@@willysillyplays its said that more than once, as french soldiers were being given their mission briefing and sent to the lines, the conscripted men would bleat like lambs, to mock their officers and paint the grimness of the situation
I understand. And that is why if I'm drafted, I'm going to immediately turn renegade. I have no land. I have no family. I have no future. Yet society wants me to die for it? Naw, I'd rather die spiting it, to enact revenge for all the previous victims of it. My beliefs were reaffirmed, when I saw the inside of a C-47 paratrooper plan. It feels like a haunted house, a testament to humanity's madness. Barren walls not thick enough to stop bullets, a cockpit two sizes too small. The outside looked dashing and inviting, the inside looked like you were sent to hell...because that would be exactly where you were going.There were no furnishings, only function, like what a Go-Kart looks like vs. a full sized car.

@@willysillyplays "Do you think he will fight? When the blood, and the screams take hold. Do you think he would stay? He would flee! And he would be right to do so. War will be the death of man."

@@albinoyak2755 sure there is, alot of current soldiers and veterans would of loved to see their enemy pummeled by artillery. who wouldnt?
12:20 is a moment I'll never forget. The look of relief on the German soldier's face, after the nod from the Harlem hellfighter, says more than any amount of words too. 2 men tired from....everything deciding, in that moment, to be human again. It's a powerful image. This was brilliant from DICE.
What I love about the intro is the severe, haunting lack of music. Just ominous droning coming from shellshock, explosions, warmachines looming in the distance. If you put yourself there, to be there, you'll be scared. You will be scared.
I’d be broken 😢
I'd be scared or scarred? Because I know I'd be both
You can hear some Silent Hill-ish ambient drones, though. Not that it detracts from the mood of the scene. Chlorine gas is far more terrifying than any fictional monster or demon.
I know it's probably the point, but that scene of the two soldiers lowering their weapons always makes me tear up slightly. It's such a powerful image. At the end of the day, those are people behind the guns and that's what BF1 was aiming for. To bring us closer to the human side, rather than just more shooty shooty boom boom, action hero BS.

In so many games, you play as THE main character. People fall and die around you but you fight to the last, knowing you will canonically make it - even if you die and have to re-load the checkpoint. Battlefield 1’s campaigns and even the multiplayer too stripped me of whatever heroism I felt about joining up. Used to want to join up as a kid, but eventually realised it wasn’t for me. Even now, the threat of global conflict still looms, and I truly believe that the only way I could ever fight to the bitter end is if my country were to be invaded, same as these Ukrainians are likely feeling still now.
This game played a vital role in reminding me that most likely, in the event I was shipped off to fight for a land I never knew, in a war completely alien to me, I’d likely be curled in a ball crying my eyes out same as anyone.
War breaks people, and the army knows that, so they break you before war can, forcing you to be able to work well under a hail of fire, and to still remain somewhat sane amongst the insanity. To put it simply, war is hell.
Yeah bro, at least we are agreed on one thing, we hate war but when their is no other way around than you must brace yourself for it, like you said Ukrainians, doesn't matter if they love or hate war but they are forced to fight to protect what they love.

It was because for centuries war has been romanticized as a heroic battle between a purely good side and the evil side. Incredible heroes fight against evil and give peace back to the good. This is most commonly seen in cultural depictions such as art, music, literature and many more mediums that were and are still accesible today.
The you are not expected to survive part at first made me think, ya okay I'm the main guy I'm sure I'll be fine. Then you actually die and the name comes up and I was like holy shit I really wasn't gonna make it, it really made it feel like a real battle I was part of not just part of fighting bc I can die just like anyone else with no checkpoint load like real war, and damn my guy was only 19 that really hits ya when you get someone that young you die as
yeap bud, this first mission has another feeling to it and no doubt its a masterpiece, we have never experienced a game before like that, it tells you right away no matter how good you are at war you still going to die and won't survive.
Ngl, it would be cool a Battlefield campaign where you don't play as a single Main character instead play ZombiU style (You die, you control a new character while also losing the previous character skills and items) but instead control a soldier nearby and each soldier has a different class
As somebody who is 19 years old, has anxiety, and is a history buff, the idea that in ww1 and ww2 most of the soldiers were within a year or two of my age, oftentimes a year or two younger, and were going through this absolute Hellscape is very sobering. It makes me appreciate all of the sacrifices on both sides of the wars more. On the off chance that anybody who reads this served in the military, thank you for your service.
facts, when I first played the prologue no matter how hard I tried to stay alive I always ended up getting killed. Like it was inevitable
This entire game with no HUD and maxed out settings on a 4K monitor is probably one of the most visceral and grisly depictions of any armed conflicts in the history of gaming. All its missing is the blood and limbs flying everywhere to be honest
There's games on PC that capture the limbs.

that intro to bf1 campaign never fails to get me chills, one of the best openings i've seen in a video game
This and bioshocks one is my favourite
In Ottoman Empire, Sivas Highschool couldn't graduate anyone in year 1915 because every student of that year got killed in the war. War is a thing that should never happen.
i love it when games show that most wars dont have a bad guy, and that everyone out there has a family waiting for them at home.
I feel like BF1's greatest feat in its campaign is making the player feel emotions other than just sheer gaming excitement when pulling the trigger. The intro makes you feel desperate and not in control, the aircraft one seeds you doubt that you're not a good person behind the sights, the cavalry one plants disgust at each enemy because you're racing with time, the Italy one gives you revenge catharsis with each kill, etc etc. When you immerse yourself in it, you didn't just feel "haha headshot goes ding".
A good game immerses you in both its fun and feelings.
Those aren't sad soldiers, those have PTSD or "shellshock" damages. Poor guys, they were the first in history to experiment that brain damage caused by the horror of that "new" war
I’m fairly certain shell shock has been a thing since Cain and Abel…
Shellshock actually existed far far far FAR before the great war. It’s gone as far back as the romans suffering symptoms of PTSD after fighting in the colosseum. The american Civil War is another great example. Many cases of what I believe was called “Nostalgia” at the time, but it was the then unknown and undiscovered PTSD.
those are reasons i loved gaming. Art showing what movies and books cant, immersive stories and brutal honesty.
Yeap buddy, very true...
Watch movie "Come and See"
Hands down one of the greatest campaigns in the fact it faithfully (for the most part) depicted WW1 without glorifying it in a war that say COD black ops glorified the vietnam war
nailed it bro!! in most cases COD have glorified war, showing an unkillable protagonist, that campaign from BF1 is something different and closer to reality.
Honestly, if they had kept the weapons load out more realistic, it would have really cemented the helpless feeling of some poor conscript thrown into hell.. with nothing more than a bolt action rifle, facing off against hundreds of nameless conscripts just like yourself, having to charge a machine gun nest with nothing more than five rounds and a bayonet…

Those soldiers wandering like zombies have "shellshock". It's a type of mental illness that became prominent during WW1 from the endless bombardment. This was when DICE still cared about presentation & storytelling.
I was in the process of signing up for the army when bf1 came out, i will be forever thankful as i did not go tru in my decision after having a minuscule feel of the horrible possible fate i was signing my life away to.
one of the most saddening things i see in video games is enemies with oxygen tanks, flamethrower tanks or whatever they have on their back having those tanks get shot, ignite, the enemy panics, and the tanks explode and kill them. it really is just sad seeing them panic before their untimely demise
This is probably going to sound dumb but BF5 really helped me understand how it feels to be living with PTSD. Whenever those V-1 Rockets or JB-2s were called in, that distinct buzzing sound it made always stuck with me. So much so, that when I first heard it in real life, I legit started to feel anxious and was looking up in the sky to see if anything was coming down. I felt pretty stupid in that moment, but humbled that I don't have to live like that everyday
Oh god I remember my first jitterbug, fighting on OG twisted steel (UK vs. GR) I hear the sound and look up, trying to remember what the sound was. Seeing that flying tube, I just hit the deck nearby the town closest to allied spawn. Once I heard the cut and explosion and looked back, I could see alll the way to the rivers other side.

@@1991USsoldier that's great, I never made it out of Navy Bootcamp as I messed up my knee while I was in, but I've had ptsd from childhood so ik how difficult it is getting rid of it. Glad your doing better.
Truly horrific and the fact they were all killed in the vein hope to bring glory to their leaders is so sad, nobody won this war, everyone lost.
they just do an amazing job at showing how painful war really is. they show how it’s not just a good guy and a bad guy and i really appreciate dice for that.
yeap buddy, thats why BF1 stand out among all other war games.
people always see war through the eyes of the victors, but dont realize that neither side in war sees their side as evil, and often times they are convinced why their side is right, or even lied to in order to try and dehumanize the enemy forces in their minds
even in modern day you can find genuine propaganda that does so, modern day north korea convinces their citizens that countries like the united staces actually eat babies, and the people there believe it because they are so isolated, similar tactics were used in ww1 and ww2 to try and get people to enlist, though not to the same extent as with north korea today
basically, at the end of the day, propaganda sucks and in war everyone is fighting for what they think is right
Every soldier and nationalist man would fight for their country, but this kind of warfare is the one even the thougest of men cant stomach it
GREAT WAR, I CANNOT TAKE MORE!
these aren't a song lyric, but I am sure were words of many soldiers in war, who vanished into the war afterwards.

@@driestmarlin4317yeah it's definitely sabaton
This was, in every way, the best bf ever. One aspect of the game I really appreciate is the fact that the game maps are usually beautiful, full of life, peace and history, some place you would love to leave on, but as soon as the match actually starts, the destruction takes place piece by piece, and by the time the matche ends, you end up watching a place so rid of life and beauty that could only be compared to an apocalyptic and sadistic horror movie. The sadness hits hard, and you can even have fun playing and causing destruction, but the moment you stop for a second and realized your surroundings, it hits hard. What a brilliant game.
As well as being a phenomenal way to tell a story, it's a great gameplay mechanic. It allowed them to show off different weapons and mechanics without it feeling pushed onto the player. It felt fluid although maybe a little jarring. Just shows that death can be used as a mechanic in multiple ways. Well done.
this is....incredible. I mean, the attention to detail, the portrayals, the ptsd, everything
BF1 was amazing, The way it made you feel for each character. The tank commander story was so tragic in the end
As a soldier in the US Army, generation Z, I sure hope we don’t resort to this sort of madness. I haven’t experienced any combat as I am just a support unit. But my job entails being in convoys. Driving HMMWVs, LMTVs, MRAPS, anything that’s got wheels on it. God bless those who have fallen before my time that have sacrificed everything to get me where I am today.
Hey buddy, it's quite honor for me that an ex-soldier saw my video and commented, can't feel better than this :)
and yes so many young men sacrificed their lives so Gen Z like us can live in peace XD
Thanks again buddy for stopping by, I hope you have a nice day today!
Well, we're all lucky to have the rules of war in place now because of this. Though it's still a tragedy nonetheless that all those people that died in the World Wars was what had to be paid in blood, for us to finally realize 'We need to hold ourselves to a standard if we're going to start anymore wars'
@@Furydragonstormer rules of war? are you joking me? do you know what Isreal is doing to children in gaza?
"Hold at all cost" the objectives didn't specify how much time to defend that position, it just want you to do the objective and never expect you to complete the objective
Battlefield ended with the war to end all wars, everything that came after was a mistake. I never gave ea a single penny for the atrocity that they created post bf1. I'm still waiting for a new battlefield whilst playing BF1.
and another thing is they totally massacred historical facts in their new BF V, those last 2 releases from EA were really bad not sure what happened to them after BF1.
Good on you man, too few people are boycotting new BF while that is the only language EA understands - money. The people who complain about it, yet keep buying it are hypocrites.
@@willysillyplays I'm sure it's because many old devs left the studio, this is what usually happens when once remarkable studios degenerate with games that are unrecognizable to their past titles.
BF5 is good though
Typical internet. Entirely missing the point of the video, and just showing up to bitch.
That's a lot of friendly fire. Makes you wonder how much there really must have been in all that chaos.
Out of all the triple A fps games, this is probably the one that is most respectful. Not in terms of historical accuracy (because it really isn't), but in terms of dealing with the futility and horror of war.
yeap bud, thats is what makes this game special and a masterpiece. The first campaign if one of its kind.
My great grandfather fought in WW1 for the entire length of the war. He was 14 when he and all of the other men and boys from his village volunteered. He was 1 of very few to come back. He never once spoke of the war. Just pretended it never happened till he died in 1962 so none of know what he did.
Maybe he just remained hidden
@@mcmerry2846 Yeah he stayed hidden in all the 4 years of the war as if it is that simple.
Maybe think before commenting something stupid

I love playing these war games because to me it teaches me just how horrible war can be to an extent. Playing those games also taught me that I can never be a soldier in a war. I'm not brave to run head first into oncoming fire, I wouldn't like letting the smell of gunpowder, smoke and rot in my nostrils nor would I have the stomach to pull the trigger on another person. And even if I did, I'd probably end up just going crazy about it. I hear talk from people and it's mostly just the internet how soldiers (they mostly say US but rarely about any other country) are nothing but serial killers, child rapists, devils, any sort of bad name really. To an extent, I can understand where they are coming from. War brings the WORST out of everyone that is affected by it directly and there are stories during the Vietnam war for example that just didn't make the US look good at all. The US did a lot of fucked up shit and civilians were literally getting fucked from both sides. But I sometimes wonder those people who love to bad mouth a lot behind a screen, I wonder how they would do in a warzone. Sometimes to help someone understand, they just need to experience something first-hand that allows them to comprehend it all.
see the thing is bud im the same...but i have this....feeling...that if i was stuck under those circumstances, under those conditions i believe i could do stuff like that...i mean, id be shit scared to, so would anyone if they were in those situations, we are all able to make amazing human feats, from you managing to push all the way through to the enemies trench and somehow not get shot to landing the perfect shot to take outt he one guy that has been stopping your side from doing anything....if you was under the rigth conditions i know youd 100% be brave enough to push yourself to be a hero like everyone has the ability to
Beautifully explained buddy, the only way we could ever jump in a war is when we know there no other way, glorify war as much as one can but once you die in a war as a soldier no body remembers your name unless you are some sort of general or a leader, how many of us know names of poor soldiers died in ww1 or WW2? So I would never jump in a war knowing no one will remember me that I went through this shit and died.
@@DEATHSxNEMASISthere are no hero’s.
@HyperNova808 yea your right...but it doesn't stop people in times of need from exhibiting heroic traits and strength...we are a remarkable species
Man this video made me emotional, war is a terrifying thing to exist. Over all my live playing war, shooter , and zombie games, I now understand how bad it is, all the men getting sent off and probably not returning home to their families truly is sad.
yeap bud, honestly when I saw these soldiers for the first time, it instantly made me emotional and was cursing myself how I missed these soldiers when I was playing it First, but I guess we were trying to get as many enemies as possible when we first played it.
I met a WWII veteran and he said he probably would've been friends with most of those people if they met on different terms.
This scene also was important to how the war affected people because the song playing while the man has flashbacks is actually from the 20s (may have to check the battlefield wiki again,) therefore adding a level of people having post war trauma.
I like how Battlefield 1 doesn't just make a fun experience, but tried to also show the horrors of war through the campaign, and it shows the loss of people important to these characters.
Storm of Steel makes you deal with all these flashbacks, the unnamed 369th infantry regiment soldier has to deal with the loss of the tank driver, the guy with the automatico, and the shotgunner.
Luca searched the Austrian Alps till the end of the earth in order to find his brother Mateo, only for him to be dead.
Edwards and McManus lost everyone. They lost Townsend, Finch, Pritchard, and Black Bess.
Poor little Jack Foster lost Bishop, who was his current father figure.
We, the player, outside of the game, lost Wilson, who we actually got the chance to deeply bond with through the story, and we think he lives, but Blackburn says at the beginning "If you ask me to name my biggest fault, I'd have to tell you i'm just not a very honest person." and at the end says "What you heard from me is the truth. I wouldn't tell you if it wasn't... would I?" after telling a quick variation of the story where he's a rogue pilot, Winston dies, and he uses a german air raid to escape punishment for his actions. Winston never made it out of that wreckage and died as Blackburn went back to friendly territory on his own.
If we go off of the historical story of T.E. Lawrence and not just the BF1 appearance, he lost someone close to him (also has been implied and believed to be a lover of sorts) to typhus pre-1918.
At least one person in every campaign has loss.
My only hate for this game, is the fact that the devs refuse to release the modding SDK support for single player levels so we can create our own...its what makes old games like Half-Life or Doom 1993 last longer (prolly even compared to this game) than typical games nowadays. I cant really comment on the game's message about war cuz im not a historian or military games addict.
Be nice because it completely ignores the German, Austrian, Russian and French perspectives

As a war historian, everyone thinks I love war. Honestly knowing more makes me hate it so much more than staying in the dark. War is hell. Never forget that.
Miré este video en un televisor, y después de ver una demo de un juego de terror indie situado en la defensa de una trinchera rusa.
Creo que ambas cosas lograron que este gameplay se sintiera aún más... incómodo
Con el sabor agrio que me dejó el anterior video, la imposibilidad de leer los comentarios, y sobretodo esa oración del principio... "No se supone que sobrevivas"
Esas palabras, y; cómo esta misión está hecha en general, me recordó a varios videos de terror análogo de supuestos juegos flash que vi alguna vez. Siempre mostrando caras deformadas que representan los peligros que nos ocurren en la realidad, que nos van persiguiendo poco a poco hasta que finalmente nos alcanzan y cuando eso ocurre, podemos ver sus horrendos rostros en primer plano, antes de ser secuestrados, comidos o descuartizados, y solo cuando llegas a ese fatidico final, te das cuenta que nunca tuviste el control de nada en primer lugar...
Rarely do you experience a campaign mission where you're playing what is seen as the "good guys" and are expected to lose. Even rarer still are the missions that give the context and nuance required to feel bad for the enemy as well as the allies.
Yeap buddy, this is something that you never see or feel in other games, BF1 just make you feels so guilty even if you accidently kill one of these soldiers.
8:28 I always forget until it's too late the soldier on his back in that section. Like his legs are broken or something and all he can see is a moving pillar of metal and death roll up next to him. Seeing him writhe around like he can't grip anything feels pretty bad
It's worse when you go and research about it later, you find about aobut stuff like trench foot, shellshock, ptsd, and other conditions that at the time, were just seen as irrational fear so they'd be yelled at and turned back around. It's almost depressing that any of that had to happen in the first place, twice for that matter.
For the first time in literally forever, I didn’t feel like the main character that was unkillable, but a side character that was to die in 5 minutes
BF1 imo still has great world building because it shows you what soldiers of ww1 go through with them thinking this will be one of the adventures and experiences of a lifetime thats quickly overshadowed by how grim the situation has really dug itself into
Its like All Quiet On The Western Front while maintaining a fun game
yeap absolutely right, btw that movie is absolutely masterpiece especially the 1979 one,
one of line that I loved in that movie was: That senior German soldier (forgot his name) sees underage soldiers instantly says "damn if this war kept going, next time they are going to send toddlers" the line was something like, this movie was very well written though.
BF1 is the old DICE final masterpiece. This team had passion when they went to work.
You know it's a good game when it makes you refuse to shoot at the enemy.
The Prologue Mission to BF1 makes you think of the ending Mission to Halo Reach (Lone Wolf), "You are not expected to survive" and yet as Gamers we try our best to hold out for as long as possible against impossible odds
bf1 shows the reality of war something they messed up in on bf V where a finish or denish girl jumps of a twintower sized bridge and survives.
Still hope some day they make a historically acurate bf V cause the one they have now seems like its rushed to completion wich is kinda sad. Only story i rly enioyed was the last tiger.
That one had a little more realism put into it but the rest was just a mess sadly enough :/
haha yeah BFV was a disappointment when they did so good with BF1, they must have a clear idea what the bf fans really love but they decided to go exactly opposite in case of BFV.
@@willysillyplays yeah like i said i think they rushed it and thats how they fuqqed it up.
They didnt do their research otherwhise they knew the tiger tanks wasnt made in 1940 or 1941
Same with the story lines they dont feel realistic they feel like they come from a marvel movie.
Only the last tiger i enjoyed watching but the other story lines i didnt feel like they were very realistic maybe the french story line?
But the british one felt fake the norway one definately felt fake and the online battles you almost only hear women screams if it was a modern war game i understand but in ww2 women didnt fight with exceptions for france and russia ofcourse
@@gino-cz9zuthe British one wasn't fake lmao it was based on the operations of the LRDG, and then the SAS in the North African campaign
@@PBI45 aint no way ur telling me 2 british soldiers stopped a 1000 nazis on their own
@@gino-cz9zu not 1000 but often very small teams of specially trained men would go out into the desert for days scouting and destroying or sabotaging Axis airbases and camps. Troublemakers like Bridger would have been recruited because by nature the LRDG and later the SAS were much more lax on orders, generally being "see that axis base, go in a blow it up".
The game becomes so much more terrifying when you turn all the music down, turn the hud off, and get rid of the kill confirmation. All that happens then is the bodies fall and the shells rain overhead, perfectly encapsulating how it may have been like
Damn buddy, I have never tried this gonna try this soon.
I have tried turning off the hud but not the music and kill confirmation.
Not gonna lie, I've played Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1 too late after their prime has passed, and now that I've gonne through Overwatch 2, and engaged with that atrocity... I cannot understand how that piece of crap won Goty 2016, when that year we had Battlefield I
I guess that's the reason, devs don't make games these anymore and instead go for something exactly opposite if this,
It showed hopelessness. That mission was frustrating as no matter what you did you end up losing one way or another. There is not a way to win and you are suppose to lose. Shows that in war you are probably not the hero and no matter how hard you struggle death is the most likely outcome. It also shows how one persons epic battle is meaningless to the others. You fight as a soldier holding the line only to die. The tank crew takes over and manages to slaughter many enemies but they to end up in the same fate. You then take over a squad further behind the tank and valiantly defend the area. You are doing well until suddenly you are overwhelmed and your entire squad and everything what happened there gets forgotten to history. In each part you think you are the hero until you are not. Hard to explain the exact feeling I get from this but at the end of the day all lose and that is what you are suppose to do in war. Throw away your life thinking you are doing good, only to be replaced by another "hero" until one side has no more left
I love how this game dosent revolve around an Mc it goes around from soldier to soldier because there is no Mc in war you are not expected to survive anyways and this game truly shows how war is there are no winners only death,destruction, and misery
yeap bud, absolutely right.
The men you see wandering around are shellshocked. Not sad and lonely, much much worse than sad and lonely
This is why Storm of Steel was the best of the episodic levels of BF1. Felt like war.
You know, after playing the BF1 I didn't really think much of it. Just thought it was a casual arcade type shooter but now after a couple years I watch this video and it never really crossed my mind like at all. War is really a deadly and brutal landscape that not many soldiers come back the same way ever again.
My mom's told me stuff about how most soldiers never come back the same again and that they act like they've lost sanity and this just proves that.
And the fact that most of them were young and died that young really made me think about how horrifying yet truly heartbreaking it was.
Other than that, thanks for opening my mind onto this and I appreciate it :D
Battlefield 1 and CoD: World at War are at the top of my list of war games, the intensity and realism give you a renewed perspective on the conflict.
I agree it makes us hate war, But that bell ring after a kill makes my bloodlust go up to the skies.
this game was pure art. likely wont see another like it.
hell yeah buddy.
I love how BF1 just threw you in the fray with little understanding, just figure it out as you go and survive if you can.
Hey bud, yes very well said, it doesn't brief or train you, just throws you in and tells you you won't survive there.
This is something that you don't see in other games, props to DICE for this one :)
I wish devs peered more into this type of story
Showing the depths of hell soldiers go through, showing the depravity of the war and how it impacted both sides of the conflict.
One game I always felt that hit that mark was Spec Ops: The Line,
It lulled you into the sense of being this good guy fighting in a non-descriptive battle fighting regular baddies when you slowly reveal the truth and witness the consequences of your actions
God I might play that game again hahaha
even the calm song choice in the beginning “dream a little dream about me” goes perfect with the transition from being in a dream to a chaotic battlefield.
The intro in BF1 makes you realize, that those things depicted happened, and you realize you are fighting pepole that Did nothing to you. You realize that you are fighting a war that shouldnt even happen. Games like battlefield 1 , far cry 3 and other titles give you the realization that you arent killing random pepole, all of them had lives that you took in one way or another. Maybe they had families that they wont return to. There are alot of shooters where this is skipped Over, or not mentioned at all. I wish game designers would give us something just like that, but that wont be possible anymore, atleast not in the near future.
I have a valiant distant relative who fought for the U.S. army in the battle of the Argonne forest. He was hit by mustard gas and survived. We still have his campaign medal.
damn bud, that's actually quite cool to have a medal that dates back to more than 100 years and from final major battle of WW1.
If battlefield 5 had
Customizable characters like bf 5 it would’ve been better for some.
yeah agreed, they did so much wrong in BFV.
i played BF1 and BF5 for at least two hundred hours, both total war gamemodes and breakthrough gamemodes. it doesnt matter what role i play as, its always overwhelming, its always difficult to win, it always make you lose your sense of direction and situational awareness. the longer you survive, the longer you notice little details, notice enemy and allied patterns, even go as far as flinching to every little vibration or noise, your survival insticts is stronger than your duty as a soldier, i believe its what those who return from war suffer from, what we call PTSD. the sense of ultimate survival. as an assault you're always overwhelmed by the sheer number of infantry and vehicles. as an engineer you have unlimited ammo, but almost always you'll be firing non-stop. if it were a real war you'd run out of ammo for goddamn sure. as a medic you're constantly overwhelmed between staying alive, doing objectives, and keeping the rest on this plane. as a sniper you are never safe because soldiers dont like getting shot by snipers from 200 meters away so they'd carry weapons that can fire back at you. the harder you push, the harder they push back. its chaotic. and im glad i only get to experience it in a video game, and not in real life.
It gives you a choice to kill the broken ones
no way I will ever kill them it feels like worse war crime, it breaks your heart instantly you spot them I don't think anyone can kill them unless they dont know about WW1 history and how bad that was for these poor soldiers.
@@willysillyplays After the one mistake I did, I never tried to shoot them again. To me, these men had enough of war. Their on instinct now. Maybe in their own mute world surrounded by the death.
@@olivesandgrapesareok9324 yeah buddy, seems like they are done with everything around them and doesn't care if someone kills them, spare them or whatever.
When i played battle field 1 i got distracted by the airship exploding and got meleed from the back
I felt my heart slow down while watching the wandering soldiers 😢
:(
The sound of those horns when you switch to the machine gun always gives me goosebumps.
truly a solid game, and one that will hold up well for decades to come.
no doubt buddy
Last great battlefield game a masterpiece of a game.
It is not the most accurate WW1 media. But like vanilla World at War, without mods, it is Authentic. And a hidden lesson. War is Fun in games, but it is also, really, a terrible, terrible, terrible, thing created by mankind to settle scores, in which by the end, seem very stupid, after you look at the ruins, and the mangled, smashed, broken, physically and mentally human beings. I remember seeing a german soldier, walking from battle, in a tattered exhausted state. And after I had well, stupidly shot him, I actually reloaded the mission to avoid that, and just said merely, "what have I done". A game rarely did that for me.
Yeap buddy, this is far the most immersive and historically accurate game that DICE has come close to, it's too good in many aspects, it helped me learn about WW1, I only knew about WW2 especially allied offenses before that game, due to curiosity after playing this game I searched and learned alot of WW1.
And yes, it feels like a bloo*y war crime shooting these heartbroken soldier, it doesn't even feels like a game at some point it feels like I have done it in real life.
seen the soldiers crying and wondering as they where lost or without hope hits hard
Back when games where artforms, by far my favourite game of all time
actually it's right after gaming went to shit
it was one shining ray of hope in the industry
we hoped that games would be more like this
and they only got worse
you nailed it bro!!!
yeap mate, not sure who the heck advised DICE to go exactly opposite of BF1???????
@@willysillyplaysold devs left. That's what everyone's saying.
You gotta remember that these people are not like us we see war in video games movies and tv. So to them all this is new and a real hell on earth situation
So many wars happened in history and still so many believes how epic they are. Its terrifying how goverment propaganda is powerful and will beat experience of fathers and their telling to their sons about the hell. And sadly this is not only on one side.
yeah buddy, and all of the Achievement / land gained by war were taken back sooner or later, so a war is never a solution instead it creates more problem, but leaders of world, the power of their nations gets into their heads, and they decide to occupy others land, and that put millions of people lives at stake.
I only like medieval wars... When guns were invented, war became honourless
@@mcmerry2846it became worse than hell…
Medieval wars weren’t much better. They didn’t have internet, or as great of information gathering/sharing techniques. And with castle sieges, being the first up a ladder in a ladder rush often meant meeting a Mancatcher, Spear, Billhook, Polehammer, Halberd, Warhammer, and any number of weapons to the face. You go up the ladder first, you die first. Hell, most sieges were usually just waiting for the people in the town or castle to starve to death. And open-fields weren’t great either, with all the horns, yelling, chainmail or plate scraping, and the terrible wounds every single Medieval weapons can inflict with not much effort put into it. (For context, holding a Longsword and letting it “fall” while holding and using the falseedge it will tear apart an unarmored person. Now imagine what a full Halberd or Billhook swing would do.)
In my opinion, the only honor to be found in violence is defending your own, or those who cannot defend themselves, but even then there are much more honorable options than violence. War is hell. Time periods change nothing.
@@mcmerry2846 lol
I once bayonet charged through gas and fire in forest's bunker and of the enemy wrote: 'I had a heart attack seeing a quy runnig out of gas and flames just to kill someone'
The last clips makes me cry. From how easy the war is; from taking lives of others, total destruction towards surrounding, how evil human's madness are. Driving people into fear, savage and being animals; hungry for others blood only for the sake of survivability.... until there's only 1 person for both sides, they realised...
what they have been fighting for...
what's the body count killed for...
what war is for...
*It's all useless*
I know this probably sounds stupid but the opening song "Dream a little dream of me" just activates some weird trauma response in me ever since I played Battlefield 1 for the first time.
Again, I know it sounds stupid to be traumatized by a video game but Storm of Steel opened my eyes as a teenager to what war really is. The phrase "war is hell" is an understatement, because we created this, humans created a "hell on earth" and if hell is anything like what we've created in World War 1, then I don't want to fight anymore.
My hands clench, my teeth grind, I got feel the very vessel that is my body shake in fear of the reality of war and what it means, suffering, carnage, loss, fear, hatred, frenzy... that is what goes through my mind everytime I hear the opening song of Storm of Steel, it will NEVER leave my mind.
7:26 it wasn't showing that the soldier was sad or tired it was showing the extreme amount of shellshock that soldiers experienced
"War is a cowardice soution to peace"
The value of a soldier's life is often overlooked. It takes years to raise a person, but only seconds for them to die. As a Souls game developer once said, "They want to show you death more than usual." This means that in reality, soldiers care much more about life than they are often given credit for. They do not take the lives of their enemies lightly, and they know that every soldier who dies has a family and memories.
It is a painful thought to know that you have killed someone who had so much to live for. The value of a soldier's life is not just in their ability to fight, but also in their humanity. They are people who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country and their loved ones.
“The War to End All Wars”. “Ended nothing”. That hits so hard
