I like how hes playing this too, hes confused, doesnt know where to go, hes just following soldiers and keeps on pushing like a real soldier in ww1

What humans see: oh cool couple of ants fighting lol What the ants see:

If you understand the german language , then you will agree , that the sound design of this game is on another ,an unique level in gaming history . The way each soldier is reacting and talking to every event happening is shocking realistic . In a way you nearly cant enjoy . I found myself many times getting killed ingame because the atmosphere got me way to hard .

It's crazy how many movie worthy scenes can happen in a completely unscripted multiplayer match on BF1. This game was something else.

Parents: he’s so cute playing with his nerf gun What the kid sees:

turtles 0.001 seconds after they're born

Been 7 years and it still looks better than games coming out this year

3:22 By far my favorite scene, it’s like the shells are actually being fired from the british howitzers and it also feels like they took there time to coordinate that attack.

Everybody: wow this guy really sells the confusion a soilder would feel during the first world war. Him: actually has no idea what's happening because his HUD is disabled

Call of Duty: we have better factors for trick shots and cool stuff Battlefield 1: we give players PTSD

8:03 A man, a comrade, a human being, one with a soul and a heart filled with love, hate and fear. 8:06 a corpse, an object, a body, just another number in a statistic, just another slab of stone in a field. How can something so precious be reduced to something so insignificant in a blink of an eye

Most terrifying moments 8:10 “We’re being murdered here!” 8:24 “Bloody hell we’re getting cut to pieces!” 7:58 “This can’t be happening!” 6:47 “Artillerie!” 6:40 German Panicking 3:50 Soldier gets shot by buckshot right in front of you 2:13 Sudden mortar bombardment 0:58 “Oh Mein Gott! Ok, ok, attake!” 7:08 Charging forward

Imagine trying to explain to a ww1 veteran that this is what people in the future do for fun

The fact that every single individual noise is generated by an actual player in-game is incredible

I feel like 6:18 - 6:54 hits the hardest. Pinned down, trench filling with gas, but you have to keep going. You hear shells impacting behind you, turn around, take off your mask, and your friends are all lying on the ground, contorted in unnatural shapes. Dead. One survived and is screaming for a medic, but another volley of shells silences his pleas. As this scene unfolds around you, the tank finally comes over. Too late to save you. You follow it forward, there is nothing you can do for the men strewn at your feet. Keep pushing forward.

Battlefield 5 would have 80,000 people on Steam and continued support right now if they had simply converted this game's design philosophy into a WW2 setting. The win was staring them in the fucking face and they consciously decided to spit on it.

Just here to re-affirm that a 5 year old game looks unquestionably better than 2042

Damn, props to that dedicated enemy mortar team. Holy shit, they knew all the right points, times, and choke areas to hit. Not only that, but giving us those damn good scenes

Bf1 is really the peak of battlefield so far. The sound design is still unmatched by any other multiplayer game I’ve encountered. The in-depth levelution of things like craters, barbed wire, boards, trees, buildings, destroyed vehicles, fallen behemoths, random weather events, and destructible field emplacements is really perfected. All of the player ragdolls and dirt buildup on weapons and player models really grounds you in the game world. To be honest I’m not sure we’ll ever see another battlefield on par with this, but I like to hope so.

8:23: Those pistol shots were brutal, you can see the blood splatter. Very incredibly well done.

Imagine training for years, being admired by others, having a loving family, made true friends. But ends up getting put on the front lines and died on the first second of your battle.

If you showed this to someone 30 years ago, they’d call it a film

7:08 is the moment the true experience of every soldier had going over the line had and it's truly heart wrenching and terrifying. Just hearing every troop scream ether in pure fear to keep going or in pain from being killed, and even that one soldier crying for his mother as they went over the hill. makes you feel, something you never did seeing them be blown apart and thrown back from the artillery half of all the ones that went foward to fall to the ground and die amongst their enemy's. The screams and sounds never end to be sound wrenching and terrifying to here each time in the ending the british troops on complete pain and fear trying to hold back the germans as most of the germans are all too in the same amount of fear.

I know I'm preaching to the choir but this game is unbelievable. Every round feels like a cinematic masterpiece

at first, i was excited then i was terrified holy shit, the voice actors did amazing in this game

Bf1 isn't only shooting at enemies. The whole time you hear people suffering and screaming

WWII was more devastating overall, but WWI was the most brutal combat that has ever happened, and you can tell the developers put effort into making it feel like that. Every scream and shout is an actual player character reacting to the events around them, there's dirt and smoke in the air, shells are raining down constantly, men are getting shredded by shrapnel and machine gun fire while screaming for their mothers. The terrain turns into a full blown no man's land over the course of a full match, and the soldiers get progressively dirtier and more frantic as the battle continues. Once you actually enter a firefight, it's pure chaos, and you can barely tell what's going on half the time from the sheer amount of gunfire and explosions happening around you. This game is very good.

You know, this is how you pay tribute to an event like this, making it fun and immersive, but still reminding the normal player every now and then that they can be beyond happy to only relive this moment through a virtual world, sitting in their homes safely; it is a respectful and well put-together game, made with passion, and it shows. BF1 isn't perfect, of course, but it is a really nice Battlefield game. BF1 is actually one of very few war games that made me really think about it all while playing, the horror it must've been for all these young men, sometimes even younger than me, to be trapped in this unfortunate situation and facing the dread of dying or getting crippled with sometimes little to no effect on the situation, to see their lives thrown away by a few power-hungry leaders... I mean how it all starts out already sets the mood; upon first bootup, you get thrown into a battlefield, you fight and fight and then you're out of bullets and die... But you won't respawn, you see the name of the soldier you played that just died and his date of birth and up to the next one, that too will die sooner or later. I think it's a respect to the real thing that nowadays, a lot of shooters seem to clearly miss, as the newest iteration of the game, BF20-42fps presents; try to sell war as a fun and cool activity for the hip kids that are there for the fun of it and come up with quotes beyond cringe and you'll undoubtly stand there as a fool. CoD or CSGO are a different story, they're more acardy and less serious, they don't have that problem. But a game, that wants to sell war, should potrait war and war is not a pretty thing.

Me: “Hey Grandpa, try playing this game” Grandpa: “I already played it”

The crying and fear in the soldiers voices is actually terrifying oh my goodness

2:12 has got to be one of the most adrenaline inducing moments in the video.

This game was so ahead of its time, it's insane. Easily one of the best games ever made

They should make a gamemode where everyone has it like this.

9 minutes of soothing ww1 trench warfare fror studying and relaxing

7:09 yo those screams went from adrenaline filled charging to painful and slow death real quick

Those stormtroopers at 8:28 yelling in a hoarse panick "ATTACK! SHOOT, SHOOT" and then charging pellmell into a trenchwork firing their smg's like madmen feels almost rehersed, like wow.

Bf1 had a better atmosphere in war than BFV

Girls locker room: PE is so stupid, now I smell sweaty. Boys locker rooms:

i've said it since 2016, this game is bloody beautiful and terrifying at the same time games like this don't make me violent, games like this are art

Battlefield 1: The only game that actually looks as good as it does in the trailers.

battlefield 5 will be forgotten in a couple of years but battlefield 1 will have a special place in our hearts for a life time

The effects, THE SOUND DESIGN. This game was DICE's masterpiece imo

The voice actors killed it

Its so sad to see how beautifully dark and gritty this game was when war broke out in different areas. It was not the same in BFV, Everything in BFVis too bright and the wars are more "cinematic" rather than slow and foggy like this game was. What a time to be alive.

He keeps putting is head down or turning around when there is artillery, acting like he is a real soldier experiencing war, I love that.

Five hundred miles of Germans Five hundred miles of French And English, Scotch and Irish men All fighting for a trench And when the Trench is taken And many thousands slain, The losers, with more slaughter, Retake the trench again -Edwin Dwight 1918

This game is unrealistically realistic, the atmosphere is insane it truly feels like hell playing on certain maps with no hud

I’ve brushed over this video a few times thinking ‘ah I’ve played bf1, it’s the same with no hud’. But to actually sit through this with headphones on and hearing everything is just wow. I have no words but to tip my hat to the selfless men who gave their lives in those wars.

"No HUD Immersion" **looks at top right corner** *RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Nothing says immersion like whipping around on 9000 sensitivity

the last true battlefield game. This was their peak in immersive combat and the grit of war.

This is why squads and teams should stick together. You get amazing immersive moments like these.

6:46 ARTILLERIEEEE the terror and pain in that soldiers voice is just so oppressive and heartbreaking. The sound design and voice acting in this game is outstanding.

my grandpa was playing without hud in real life

7:58 It felt so real... It felt like a true film... This game is a true immersion...

It’s crazy how realistic this game can be just watch at 2:17, it is horrifying. Then watch at 6:17 it’s even more terrifying

When someone throws a grenade by you your character starts to have panic breathing! Very detailed!!

Everything was so simple back then. Everyone just living in the moment and not a single phone in sight.

This game is so beautiful. Removing the HUD makes it look 10x more horrifying. Watching this made things stick out that I never really paid attention to. Like those air bursting artillery shells and the screaming of the dying. Freakin brutal!

THIS IS WAYYYYY TO EPIC HOLY CRAP THATS LITTERALLY WHAT I IMAGINE EVERYTIME IN MY HEAD, EVEN AFTER 6 YEARS THIS IS BRILLIANT

Reminder, this 9 minute video was months for thousands...

6:47 really gets me for some reason. Dude screams "artillery!" And then gets hit by it. Damn

One of the things that made Battlefield 1 special was the Atmosphere. The Realism and playerbase is a different topic in itself but the Atmosphere. Every match you play you feel like you're there. In the Trenches fighting for your life. There's no over epic music, just you in a war torn battlefield with a entire different battle each 2 miles away.

This online session is more realistic and cinematic than most campaign games we have today

8:00 this string of events feels so real. A enemy running for cover to get shot point blank and fall over dead. The player running around confused to see a body roll into the trench and the player just staring at them for a moment. About twenty seconds later you just hear someone scream “We’re getting torn to pieces!”

I know it's just footage from a game, but there is a part of me that feels utterly terrified and desperately hopeless knowing this was at one point a fraction of a grim reality.

The ants in my back yard fighting over a dead bug

SIX YEARS AGO THIS STILL LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE!

7:07 The excitement of all the soldiers screaming *CHARGE!!,* only to be silenced by a mortar shell while a body rolls next to you as all the screaming of excitement stops and become screams of fear, pain and anguish. Only then you realise what exactly you signed up for, except it’s too late to go back now.

When you only have 10 mins of recess left.

I always love these type of matches where you really feel like a soldier,like you really are in no mans land and hopeing you live with every step you take

Man the voice acting is incredible. Really puts a pit in my throat.

For everyone wondering, the audio is all from the game directly. In the audio settings, switch over to War Tapes and the audio will put heavy emphasis on the in-game audio.

8:10 “we’re being murdered here” 8:24 “bloody hell were being torn to pieces” You can clearly tell this was a passion project from Dice. So much detail and immersion and emphasis on the war Atmosphere. Hopefully they don’t fail the next battlefield like they did with BFV Edit: wow 2042 looks amazing 2nd Edit: how does dice and ea keep failing even harder each game…

6:40 the next ten seconds are the best. So geniune, so real. You hear and feel the fear in their voices. Most authentic Battlefield ever and the BF on my list overall as well.

This is the most tear jerking, heartbreaking, most horrific game ever made. The developers did an amazing job.

I cannot believe that all this was created in Multiplayer.

I'd be lying if I said I didnt miss this game...

BF1 is so good! 8:05 such a cinematic moment

Crazy how people still be coming back to this video years later. One of the better immersion clips I’ve seen from one the most immersive games I’ve played

My grandfather used to tell me about the burning zeppelins that would clip through the ground. Prototype submarines, I believe they were called.

Call of duty fan: “Sweet cutscene.”

I showed this to my great grandpa who is a ww1 vet, He liked it so much that he is break dancing on the floor for the past 10 minutes

I played 2042 for a few days on PS5 just because it's free and I still came back to this remembering "the good old days". The immersion is so good, add more destruction, even better graphics, new animations, just whatever to make it next-gen, also they should make the announcements be said by the soldiers.. I would pay a full price for this masterpiece again

Those screaming soldiers.... giving me some goosebumps.

0:57 Attention to sound detail: You hear a german screaming: "Oh mein Gott!" maybe because of this terrific scene when the airship drops to ground right beside you... Best shooter I've ever played.

When this game came out, this video wasn't anything but an incredible showcase of it's visual and audio effects. Now that i'm older, I can't help but cry while watching this video, it just feels so real. War is horrible man.

This is great gameplay footage. Just finished reading Storm of Steel and seeing this footage allowed me to better visualize EJ’s descriptions.

Its so fucking haunting to think this actually fucking happend...

The comment section: 50% memes 50% people having a PTSD

i remember playing for the first time, insaaaane i was just looking around stuned on the sheer amount of what is going on and how well it looked and played... really a piece of an gaming art, well put together, each game creates an unique experience

Battlefield 1 is still to this day amazing

Let's all just admire How this guy managed to Survive for almost 10 minutes

7:58 British soldier screaming “this can’t be happening” then gets shot by the player.

Those explosions from the artillery were epic and extremely well done.

Ww1 is so a overlooked war for game designers. I can count on 1 hand the ww1 games I know of. There might be a few more but I am probably unaware of them at this time.

This is ridiculous. This is so realistic I don't know how to react. The sounds are what do it for me. The screams, the constant explosions, the gunfire. How could they go from this to Battlefield V is beyond me. This game is a hallmark. This game should be looked on for future generations to upgrade and find influence upon. God bless those that died in this God forsaken war, and thank you those that produced this game.

So this is what my great grandfather went through....

I don't know why but the body falling into the trench at 8:05 is so immersive to me.

2:14 pretty much sums up how hellish it would have been to be a soldier on the ground and how well this game captures that.
