Battlefield One

Had a quick try with the beta. DICE do like re-using old code - this time from Battlefront. Same menu layout (finally Battlelog is optional now) and general UI layout.

Graphics are okay, nothing particularly outstanding (BF4 is much better in that regard). Had a quick drive of a tank and a horse.

Rather sluggish game with dubious players too (obviously cheats are out now).

Very meh, and quite skippable (or stay with BF4 or even 3).

Dont think its really a suitable idea for a game anyway.

It's only the Beta so it will get better

Why don't you like the idea of a WW1 game?


I found the gun positions in the vehicles were very hard to aim with especially when they were being driven over rough ground, But that would be realistic

Aside from the subject matter, I prefer games with more advanced weaponary

The objective names are funny : Objective Apple and Banana... What am I doing, setting up a fruit store?

It's a war game. Is there a difference between war past present or future?

I prefer games with older weaponary

Haha yea I thought that

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. are from the NATO phonetic alphabet used since 1956. During WW1 (1914-18) these were genuine phonetics used.

Apples
Butter
Charlie
Duff
Edward
Freddy
George
Harry
Ink
Johnnie
King
London
Monkey
Nuts
Orange
Pudding
Queenie
Robert
Sugar
Tommy
Uncle
Vinegar
Willie
Xerxes
Yellow
Zebra

Yes - Going for Apples and Butter is just too humorous to take the game seriously!

See what I did there ?

Yeah - present onwards has much better weaponary!

A video of where I (try) to play Battlefield One is available here : Battlefield "One"

Its a game to avoid. I've un-installed it now. Don't want it darkening my hard drive ever again.

Lets go for Apples!

Whenever I see scoreboards with the top three spots like this:

K D. Ping

36 - 0. 248ms
15 - 0. 286ms
22 - 6. 255ms

I'm like, whatever...

I feel the same way as you do, and I only watched!
