Battlefield 1 First Impressions

Disclaimer:  Personal opinion on the game, played bad company 2 and past two main titles.

Battlefield one open beta is here, feels very much like Battlefield.  DICE have learn lessons from the previous titles.  Best way to describe the game feels like old family recipe.  DICE have gone over recipe fixing any faults from past titles.  Strip away unnecessary parts reviewed what goes into the recipe. Previous titles suffered from bloat unnecessary ideas floating around.   Studio has refined overall recipe taking long look at the core.   Process behind production feels refined with only best ingredients included.  Many ways Battlefield one feels like team fixing mistakes going with safe sequel.   Design structure behind game feels planned.  Saying that title carries on series does best provides you everything you want.  Safe sequel title which returns game back to quality expected.  Various minor changes which only dedicated players would spot.

Whatever happened good to see DICE still know how to make great games.   Company suffered couple years back producing okay games on short timelines.  Something went wrong lost of focus when came to EA biggest studio.  Team behind Battlefield one feels rested full of creative life. Marketing material has put focus on WW1 theme, feels closer to WW2.  Freedom to explore the theme providing gamers with new experience.   Change in theme however does not change the gameplay.  Fans of modern shooters should enjoy this title.  Possible even non Battlefield fans many love this title.

First impressions

Good – Triple AAA game million dollar production values.

  • Art –  Styled to suit the theme, team have created world which fits together.  Graphics are what you would expect.  Realism overtones when comes to graphic design.
  • Sound – DICE known for great sound design,  weapons sound good.  Everything sounds great, talented sound artists have crafted a masterpiece.
  • Weapons – Feel unique each one has it own role.

Bad

  • Worries about amount content on the disc.

Ugly

  • Melee combat – Not fan current melee system being able instant kill over 50 health.

In conclusion

Nothing short of positive impressions hope launch day is smooth.  Enjoyed my time with the title,  DICE have a success.
