Only way to get immersed into WWI. Make a gamemode where you shell the enemy trenches and maintain a trench for two months... in real time.

Rewatching this makes me shed a tear. How far this franchise has fallen...

Battlefield went downhill after BF1, handsdown the most immersive BF in the franchise.

the music, the landscape, the gunplay, the hit register and the satisfying kill effect, EVERYTHING ! How did they go from this to BF5 and BF2042. HOW ?

let's be honest here...as a guy who studied WW1 big time if Dice were to put realistic trench warfare in Battlefield 1 your death would not come by the enemy but by rats and mud

That intro: 10/10!

This angry rant to battlefield 1 compared to 2042 is night and day, it’s great.

It really was EA's best game in a while

*There are 12 Medics nearby* Me: Alright... Anytime now... *There are 13 Medics nearby* Me: Alright... Should get revive soon now... *All Medics run past me* Me: Goddamn it guys. I cannot even make a video on BF1 if they keep me rotting :(

If this was like World war 1 you would be in trenches for 90% of the time and be dying to diseases, and instantly die on the battlefield ( No man's land)

4 years in and its still fun

Anyone else come here after watching the BFV review? :(

If campaign was longer, players would get vietnam flashbacks.

Lol that intro!

The last true Battlefield game. Enjoyed every second of this amazing game.

How did we go from this, to BfV.. So sad.

If they made a game exactly like WW1 you'd be soooo bored.

They should've implemented a multiplayer mode called trench rush where you start from two trenches on opposite sides with rifles only and you have to try and overrun the other trench position

5 years later... After the flop of BF5 and the EMBARRASSING FAIL of BF2042, Time to return to this game again.

still fun after 1 year playing. COD WW2 got me bored after 5 hour playing.

Meanwhile in Call of Duty, a window shatters

"9 out of 10, Needs more trenches" - IGN

If he had seen what was coming he definitely would have gave it a 10/10

Who’s here after the 2042 review for a happy piece of nostalgia after the absolute train wreck of 2042

Am I the only one who thinks that the music in this game is absolutely fantastic?

Why people complain about this game not being Historically accurate? You can revive a dead guy after being shot in the head by putting syringe up his ass. Historical accuracy amirite?

Battlefield 1 was definitely a masterpiece. I wish I could relive the times it first came out. That was truly awesome

watching this video after watching his review on COD WW2

They should have done 2 characters for the campaign, for example one English and one German. You get to see both perspectives of the war. You learn that both sides are practically the same, fighting an unknown enemy for unknown reasons. The only thing that changes between missions is the flag you fight under. The whole campaign should be a build up of intensity as the war grows increasingly more gruesome, getting you more and more involved in the lives of these men. Then, in the second to last mission you get to know that both main characters will be getting send to the same front. In the final mission you get the orders to do a full on assault on the enemy line. This is where the player gets confronted with the reality of war: shooting at men no different to themselves. You reluctantly charge the enemy position, knowing that probably only one of the main characters will survive the encounter. After this mission you play it again but now from the other perspective, you try to hold the enemy off as long as you can, seeing the comrades you had the entire campaign die all around you, helplessly trying to survive, only to be killed meaninglessly like so many others on the battlefields of WW1. It would show the true sadness of war in a much better way than it tried to do with the BF1 campaign. It would also show both sides of the war, something BF1 also missed out on. With a campaign like this you get the chance to cover all fronts, like dice did with BF1 but in a less generic way, and still get the grand finale with the hellish trench warfare which people wanted.

What? Pigeons saved thousands of lives in WW1 by delivering important strategic messages O.o. What is not historical about that ?

"this franchise is my go to for wartime games" boy that didn't fucking aged well lol

who's here after he battlefield 2042 rant

I'm pretty sure DICE is thinking of doing World War 2 for their next game.

Joe's reviews for games always sum up exactly how I feel, I felt something was missing despite how fun it is and Joe nailed it better than I could have.

0:03 When you forget to change class

Joe smiling and breaking character in the intro is gold.

I think a trench to trench game mode could have been done, both teams start in a trench, the whistle blows and they both charge. You get one life and the round is over when one side kills the other and then it restarts, it should be somewhat fast paced.

If the game was 100% historically accurate it wouldn't be fun at all. You would sit in a trench and shoot off a few shots before you inevitably were killed.

More authentic than BFV :(

Was the intro scripted? Because it seemed just too hilarious real!

Can't wait for the COD AW Angry Review XDDDDDDD

This was the easiest setting ever where you could have played as the opposing side for once in single player and they squandered it. The Central Powers weren't run by evil dictators, they were just countries protecting their allies or their interest. I'm really disappointed we didn't get a German, Austro-Hungarian, or Ottoman mission.

As a history graduate, I would argue that the weapons and locations were fairly accurate compared to most interpretations of WWI.

Game is 4 years old and to this day BF1 still holds a special place in my heart. I loved the soundtrack, gameplay, multiplayer was addicting and for a while alongside “DOOM (2016)” it was one of the best FPS games I’ve played in a long time. The game has aged like fine wine, and will be remembered for years.

The only bad thing about bf1 in my opinion is the overuse of automatic wepons likr every game 80% of the enemy team are players with MP18s and Automaticos etc

that Automatic M1 Grand intro killed me xD

Who’s here after playing the the BF2042 early access and crying 😢😭

The pinnacle of the BF series. Everything came crashing down after this game

Legend says if you're here early joe will reply

We are losing objective Duff

While people were buying Battlefieldrobotvaginas 5. I held onto Battlefield 1. Pffffffft. My Horse Gameplay is Amazing!

Release of BF2042 gave a me a whole new appreciation for this great game.

Both sides did use machine guns in WW1. The guns just took 4-6 men to operate and were mounted on turrets. Nobody could run-and-gun with automatic weapons until at least 2018... which is when the war ended.

Wait, BF1's launch was... smooth? I've been with the series since BF2. Poor launches are, and have been since the beginning, a running gag.

I love the bayonet charge. So damn thrilling and satisfying when you charge the hill and stab a guy right in the chest. Maybe not as cool in real life back then, but in this game its badass.

This is unironically the best intro to any KZfaq video I’ve ever seen.

That intro killed me. ;D

No Russia and France in BF1 yet? The most fucking important side of WW1

Aftet five years this is still the best BF game to play.

0:56 AngryJoe: French Are Not In This Game EA: Adds French In The Game AngryJoe: Am I A Joke To You

Am I the only person who isn't complaining about BF1's weapon choices?

Giving EA credit for not including microtransactions is like thanking an abusive spouse for not beating you this week.

Who’s here during 2042?😂

Who is here afte joe's rant of bf 2042

The French are not even in this game? Seriously? WWI without France. Wow EA. Wow.

This game is essentially a WW2 game with a WW1 skin.

I will never get tired of that opening skit. 1:00 gets me every time

Tanks where first really used in WW1 so its logical that there is no "big" Customize for Tanks

These Operations in Battlefield sound familiar. You mean to tell me they have "Operations" here, but they couldn't handle putting Galactic Conquest in Battlefront? I'm calling bullshit. You just KNOW this shit is gonna be added in Battlefront 2 (EA).

god joe would you just stop having an opinion and only think what we want you to think?

Just sucks that BF 20-42 fps can't compete like 5 years later....

I once played BF1 on acid and the TV screen consumed my peripheral vision. I became so immersed in the game that at one point in conquest, we were being out numbered and as I died I watched my teammates get shot in the head from afar and rushed and stabbed with bayonets. I truly felt like I was in the battle watching the massacre of war around me. It was a reminder as to why they call it Battlefield. It’s a shame the state BFV is in.

No micro transactions? Am i witnessing EA's path of redemption starting?

It looks like Dice went for quality over quantity

"Germany wins this day!! We are going to put a techno disco here where your houses used to be" whoever that was I was dying of laughter when that came up 🤣🤣

the blimp crashing down is still one of the most epic things I've in a video game ever

the intro killed me.

I love how the pidgeon jumps into hyperspace.

The downfall since BF1 is unbelievable. Dice had such a perfect formula going, and the ripped it up to chase the CoD/Fortnite live service model....

what the fuck happened with BF5 and 2042. BF1 was fucking amazing

Im just happy that they brought back the 1942 theme song!!!

I would love a "Historic mode" without the exotic weapons, no crosshair etc.

Game aged like fine wine

We can all agree Battlefield One was the PEAK of the series so far.

If AJ thinks that this is 8/10 and for some 7/10, I feel sorry for the upcoming shooters.. With this new level of quality set by BF1 hardly any of them should score over 4-5/10... lol

DAMMIT JOE I DIDN'T LET MYSELF BUY THIS GAME UNTIL YOU REVIEWED IT AND IT WAS TORTURE

0:50 “You notice uh?” Gets me every time 🤣

OJ not even pressing the trigger with the fully-semiauto bolt action rifle. Illusion 100

I feel like the team at DICE missed a big opportunity on a game based on WWI. The campaign followed the least involved sides of the war and never went outside of cookie cutter missions. Yes BF1 needs to have a familiar multiplayer for fans so they could base the multiplayer on the end of WWI when all the tech was involved. But the campaign had so much opportunity to really shake a person. Imagine the first 3 missions just you fighting in trenches and then on the 4th mission out of nowhere you have to fight a tank with NO antitank weapons and ha e to think of a solution on the fly. Or how about the first mission where you play as the French army and have to march across open ground in brightly dressed uniforms while the Germans are shelling the hell out of you. BF1 favors the power fantasy instead of the horror of WWI

Stop treating Battlefield like is not for casuals

Btw the full game, with the premium pass, all the dlcs etc is available for like 8 bucks bundled with titan fall 2. It’s such a steal it’s unreal *on ps4*

That skit at the beginning is my favourite, like that one kid with a Famas running around capping heads in WW1.

A good summary is this: Quality>>>>>>>Quanity

this was/will be the best shooter this season. no more space fighting or booster pack crap.

I'm watching this after playing 2042. Man where tf did the devs that made this game go?

“The French aren’t even in this game!!!” Well, they are now

Am i the only medic that likes to revive and heal everyone?

instead of wasting the largest map on a boring desert, the largest map should have ben no mans land.

Now you wished 2042 was like bf1

How we went from this masterpiece to a Santa Soldier?
