With so many Battlefield games released since the series launched over 20 years ago, there are so many fantastic entries to choose from as well as one or two stinkers, unfortunately.
In recent weeks, it seems that the series fromElectronic ArtsandDICEhas been getting quite a bit of love, especially when it comes to the cult-classicBattlefield: Bad Company 2, a game released in 2010 which is still being fondly talked about today. However, despite the disappointing launch ofBattlefield 2042in 2021, there have been some good releases within the last decade, such as the topic of today’s discussion,Battlefield 1released in 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Check out theBattlefield 1trailer below!
“Battlefield 1takes you back to The Great War, WW1, where new technology and worldwide conflict changed the face of warfare forever. Take part in every battle, control every massive vehicle, and execute every manoeuvre that turns an entire fight around. The whole world is at war – see what’s beyond the trenches,” reads the synopsis ofBattlefield 1.

On theaggregate websiteMetacritic,Battlefield 1scored as high as 89, cementing itself as a series favourite. This is in comparison to the average score of 68 forBattlefield 2042, whichalso scoreda spiteful 2.2 from fans. In fairness toBattlefield 2042, from what we hear, the game is in a much better state now but the damage is already done for many. Hopefully, the series will have better luck with thenext Battlefield game, that’sif it’s ever released.
In the meantime, until the next entry in the series arrives, fans on Reddit have been sharing their love forBattlefield 1. Despite being released nearly eight years ago, ReddituserBobMama says thatBattlefield 1“still looks better than most games released today,” and it’s hard to disagree with that statement.
“The environmental details are unmatched. Seeing a tank plough through a building and accurately crumble to how and where it was hit will not be amusing. Or when bombs are going off everywhere, airships/planes dropping down and it completely alters the look of the map because of all the blasted mud, rubble and debris everywhere. This game is still a technical marvel,” exclaimed BlueLonk.

“And on top of all that, it was just a well-executed FPS. Great maps, well-enough balanced weapons and classes, great game modes that actually worked with those maps and classes, and all the cosmetics actually made sense for the period the game was set in. Truly a gem of a game,” replied chronberries
Battlefield 1is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. What’s more, it’s also backwards compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
