Battlefield 1 from EA - First World War FPS

[Trooperc7]

It is a fun game,,,, but its not worth that kind of money!

You got it?

I am also very much looking forward to Infinite Warfare and Dishonored 2...

You got it?

I am also very much looking forward to Infinite Warfare and Dishonored 2...

I got BF 1, Civ VI and Titanfall 2. I will also be getting COD: IW and Dishonored as they get closer to release.

Did you get a BF1 discount?

Only one SP mission (or 'War Story') left.
So for those who are looking to buy BF1 for SP only; wait until a sale.  O0 The SP part is VERY high quality, each War Story is like a seperate movie with intense gameplay, superb voice acting and great cutscenes, but... It's far too short to warrant full price for SP only. You can get it done in under 8 hours. Only if you want to start collecting the the collectibles you might go up to double or so.
With any BF game the meat is in the multiplayer part of the game and even though this time the SP is truely awesome, its certainly not enough to warrant paying full price for SP only.

^I need to read that over and over.

BTW, sorry for the off topic but I didn't know Titanfall 2 had a SP campaign...hopefully it is a bit meatier than BF1's.

Hard to not purchase BF1....but staying strong so far...if I was more of a multiplayer, would be tempted even more..

I have the first 2hours of MP in the game, and it feels good so far :)

very atmospheric, graphics are stunning ....hollywood WW1 war movie with strewn in fantasy elements kind of style   
I played on 3 maps and they seem to be large enuf, and the killing-mechanic /gun play seems to have found a good balance to be fun for some old chap from the "BF1942 enjoying time period"
Not to much arcade like in for example The Division (i hate it when you can release a full mag into the face of an opponent from 5m and he just shrug it off...)

i made a pass on BF4 and because i was already unhappy with BF3 ...the last FPS i had played extensively was BFBC2 and COD4 (Ahh, those were the days with the now-Grogheads community :) ....) before

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and purchasing BF1. Anyone got any more time in MP? How are you're chances of staying alive for very long? Which mode is best for a better chance of survival?

[JudgeDredd]

Strangely quiet in here considering it's a AAA title and it was released last week.

Any further thoughts to add to MikeGER's?

[Yskonyn]

I have been busy playing, not posting about it.  :P

It's a more realistic approach to the Battlefield concepy, IMO, so your chances of staying alive are a little better if you make good use of cover and play controlled. The uniforms blend in nicely with the surroundings and the spot markers are temporary and fade quite quickly.
There is a flare gun for the Sniper which shows incoming enemies on the minimap for a while, but it doesn't mark them as spotted on your HUD.

But that said, controlled play has always been the best way to play any BF game. All too often I see guys holding the sprint button all the time, rushing into known hot zones. That will get you killed fast, in any BF game.

Besides, the game is all about brutal combat, so you life expectancy is very short in any case. That's part of the deal here. :)

[JudgeDredd]

Of course Yskonyn...why post when you can play.

I likely wouldn't play MP so is the single player long enough or is it as short as I've read (on here I believe)

[Yskonyn]

Yeah the SP is short. You can play through it in about 8 hours. If you want to hunt for every collectible you can add 8 more easily if you dont cheat. But that would involve playing missions several times over.
And it will grant you some modifications on weapons in MP, so not much incentive for SP only people.

[JudgeDredd]

Choose one of four classes and jump into the frontlines...then immediately get shot in the face from across the map...and respawn as a different class...like that'll help somehow

lmao - I have done that soooooo many times!

I am sorely tempted for the single player - but it's a lot of dosh for 8 hours
