Watch the Battle of Passchendaele right now!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/neCPg7qatLXWqWw.html

I recall reading a soldier's diary about this battle. He wrote that the shelling was so intense, a tree would be blasted into the air, and just as it is coming back to the earth, another shell would hit and send the tree back into the air before hitting the ground. This would repeat itself, two, three, even four times.

0:32 "General Petain trusts us soldiers ! He's like us, a French citizen who loves his land ! Let's fight for him ! And for FRAAAANCE !"

1:06 “ow” famous last words

0:58 i didn’t know hoodini fought in WW1

From Pac-Man to this, it's incredible how far video games have come.

Real Verdun battle was a 10 time dirtier than this

6:24 The horrors of trench warfare on display

6:06 holy, that is truly terrifying

This is the part that is missing in this dlc... a campaign story

6:04 Guy turns into a fucking TIE fighter

6:04 IMMERSION

The battle lasted 303 days. And it also lead to the French forces losing more men in those 303 days then the US Army has ever lost in its entire existence.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), writer of LotR and Hobbit novels, fought there (as British soldier) and recycled motto (actually quote of Robert Nivelle)"They shall not pass" as Gandalfs yelling against demon Balrog #YOU SHALL NOT PASS# in "Fellowship of the Ring"

6:03 LOL look at the airtime on that one

12:10 there’s a secret for those who don’t know.

1:14 that bullet was so close to killing him

the once beautiful landscape now nothing more than a husk tainted in the blood and sweat of men who died in this fearsome war to end all wars but in reality it didn't end anything but laid a path for future wars with even more bloodshed

The fact thay they made France a DLC shows how much Dice cares for creating an accurate portrayal of the war.

COD = We give them fun Battlefield = We give them PTSD

"Hell cannot be so terrible as this. Humanity is mad, it must be mad to do what it is doing." - French soldier at Verdun, 1916.

i can't even imagine the condition of these brave soldiers, they could've ran away if they wanted to, but they didn't. They fought to the death. RIP.

Υοu trying to make a realistic video. That one dude 6:05

12:13 "Uh mister Frederickson I don't think we should be here" "Quiet down Russell! I have some unfinished business with the jerries!"

I am in the french military and did my initial formation in Verdun. It was special to learn how to be a soldier in these fields where millions died. During our walks, we used to go next to fields that have been shreded by artillery, with enormous holes that were like 5 meters deep... Can't imagine what these guys went through.

It's harder to be immersed if the camera moves quickly. It's strange enough having first person because most movies don't do that. Moving the view slowly really captures the horrors of war and is easier to be immersed into.

6:04 the way that guy fly away and the sound makes me laugh

This game is just outstanding, the atmosphere is unbeatable. Constant screams of pain and terror. The noise of gunfire and artillery shells overhead is terrifying. This game is such a gem

I like (i think) random names you put after each death

I wanna play on a full server with the new night map, standard issue rifles, 200% damage, and no hud

This game would be 10x more realistic if the movement speed wasn't so fast

How battlefield went from this to 2042 is just beyond me. This game makes you feel like you’re in something bigger than yourself.

I love how you put names of lost ones after each death.

In my opinion, this is a very respectful representation of the fallen Frenchmen at Verdun, but of course to the Germans too. Brings largely 'black and white' history quite realistically into the present, so that we may begin to better comprehend the horror of WW1 carnage. Thank you.

0:33 LE GÉNÉRAL PÉTAIN À FOIS EN VOUS SOLDATS ! IL EST COMME NOUS ! UN SIMPLE FRANÇAIS ANIMÉ PAR L'AMOUR DE SA PATRIE ! ALORS BATTEZ VOUS POUR LUI... ET POUR LA FRANCE 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Descend into darkness 303 days below the sun Fields of Verdun And the battle has begun Nowhere to run Father and son Fall one by one Under the gun Thy will be done And the judgement has begun Nowhere to run Father and son Fall one by one Fields of Verdun

2:15 INCOMING!!!

6:04 Jesus Christ he got thrown far

Finally the right weapons! God how long did I wait for that?!

The Stalingrad of WW1

From the variety of BF1 immersion videos, it seems the game inspires respect and a somber acknowledgement of the horrors of war and the devastating cruelty a man can unleash upon another

La vrai histoire de Samogneux : Verdun était un secteur calme pas réellement défendue juste quelques bunkers et canon d'artilleries. Les allemands savaient que le secteur n'étais pas défendue et on donc créé un millions d'obus et amener tous les soldats nécessaire pour pénétrer la France. Samogneux, c'est que,quels milliers de soldats français qui se sont fait bombardés un millions d'obus pendant 16 heures à la fin de ce bombardement horrible. Les allemands avance ils allaient perce la seul ligne permettant de prendre la France. Mais il rester là, à Samogneux à peu près milles soldats français qui était toujours debout qui avaient survécu. Qui se sont regroupés, et on mener une énorme résistance inattendue par les allemands. Cette défensive retarda l'énorme offensive allemande d'un jours entier. Ce qui permettait aux arrières lignes de ce préparer à recevoir l'ennemi. C'est grâce à milles soldats français qui sont tous morts. Que la France a pue se préparer et résister à la plus grande bataille de tous les temps. Nous rentrerons victorieux. Vive la France 🇫🇷

Damn I need to buy this dlc.

I like it how they made it so when you die in the game you don’t re spawn as the same character. It makes the whole ww1 experience much more realistic

Doesn't this just makes you wanna sing La Marseillaise?

6:04 this scene... *Edit* For those who want to see more of the Battlefield 1 No HUD videos for the French Army, here's a link to go ahead and watch it! :D kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMhyqsJosZbdnps.html

As an Italian, I always loved the french army in WW1

5:58 that scream...

Whereas most other youtube videos about BF1 focus on game features, and basic WWI history, your videos are like the youtube version of "All Quiet on The Western Front" or something. I like how you seem to make BF1 gameplay almost movie-like, but don't play like some super soldier Rambo gunning down thousands of enemies, but make the gameplay look like you're just another average soldier in the conflict. Hell, some of your gameplay seems more realistic then the BF1 campaign. Props to you! edit: I laughed my ass off when I looked at the info box and it said the game was "Verdun"

Btws Dice confirmed that the Russian Empire is coming

After so many years I keep coming back to this game. It was made with so much passion and care, nothing like Battlefield 2042

Et dire que mon ancêtre était là et a survécu a cette bataille.. Merci, Éloi mon arrière arrière grand-père, grâce à toi je vis dans une Europe en paix. Éloi 1891 - 1972 ✌🏻✝️🇫🇷

"Le général Pétain a foi en vous soldats, il est comme nous ! Un simple Français, animé par l'amour de la Patrie ! Battez-vous pour lui et pour la France !!!!!!!" Les gars, ce discours m'émeut... Une pensée pour nos braves qui ont souffert et sont morts durant cette grande bataille.

For an avid reader of WW1 and especially Verdun, this game is an incredible achievement. In the right mind state, you feel that you are there visually. You don't feel the strain of the event or the smell of something that is a churned up mixture men, trees, roads, horses, dirt, metal, all taking place of the ground beneath your feet.

I was humming "Fields of Verdun" while watching this. Anyone here excited for the new Sabaton album?

I really like how sometimes in this game on Operations your team can just be stuck on a point because of the enemies constant motor strikes and mustard gas. Everything is so loud and all you hear are explosions, gun shots, and screaming as everything around you is shaking. This game gets really intense at times and I have no idea how these brave young men got through this war.

Easily one of the best looking games of all time. I just admire the beauty that this game has to offer every time I play it.

I was able to walk the trenches of Verdun on the 100 year anniversary. Watching this brings to me to tears thinking about what happened so long ago. Je suis fier. Vive la France.

6:05 Bro flew 😭

5:00 this just looks like hell

I love it when they speak baguette *Edit* This is just joke pls don't take this seriously

Man, putting in the names of soldiers after each time you die is a great detail, this video is on another level!

Teacher: Ok class we're going on a trip to Verdun, France. Girls: OMG! I love France I hope I can see some cute boys there! Boys: This is Verdun. Here... They shall not pass!

The corpse flying though the air at 6:04 is very realistic

what a realistic way to represent one of the most bloody battles

le bordel sans nom, quand je pense que la vrai bataille était encore pire

1:05 memers who mocks France in real life

Verdun: chilling Fire: let me introduce myself

The definition of art in 12 minutes

The music during the combat sequences greatly adds to the ominous sense of horrors that await once the Germans reach the French lines. Very well done.

One of the things Battlefield 1 excelled at was creating a chaotic, nightmarish, almost apocalyptic atmosphere in it's maps. That image of the entire forest skyline burning sticks in your head. To a young man in 1916 at the Battle of Verdun, it must have seemed like the world was ending.

I remember being so blown away by these graphics. I still am. This is one of the coolest war games

the French are badasse

5 years on and this game still captures the horrors of WW1

My grand grand father fought in Verdun, he was a French Machinegunner...

6 years later I appreciate your work putting this together. With the names. Beautiful touch had the same idea right before I watched this video. So cool.

🇫🇷Viva la France🇫🇷 With big respect from Russia...

Imagine what the French can do now with the technology now.

Verdun, 1916 Bachmut, 2022 History repeats itself..

Vive la France 🇫🇷

5:53 Now that broke the immersion...

My great-grandaddy, Pepe, fought and survived the entire battle of Verdun. I try to focus on this whenever I think I am having a hard day

Great job dude ! I'm french and I'm touched that people like you do those "tribute" thanks !

This is one of my favorites, the first no HUD I ever watched

We just finished learning about World War 1 in History, and I already knew many things, which was awesome. My favorite and most fascinating unit of the year so far.

Petain here: leads France to victory and demonstrates pure strength and resolve of the French people Petain 24 years later: I am gonna do what's called a pro-gamer move

The ultra fast reload, extremely fast running, no shaky view while running, everything so clear to see makes it a video game

I'd love to see more vids like these recreating the battles of WW1, super interesting to get a first person perspective on how these battles played out

if this game had bots it would be my favorite game❤️

J'espère qu'il y a des Français qui comprennent les conneries que sortent les amerloques sur nous.

WW1 but no one gets stuck in the mud and everyone runs around like there's nothing wrong with their feet

This makes us feels the actual horrors of ww1,thank you dice from making me think that ww1 is fun,thank you

I didn`t know that dementors had participated in the IWW 6:04

I'm here just to tell you a story : I live not for from Verdun , and it's amazing going there sometimes. The landscape looks like a doomed sea, with holes , sometimes 20 meters deep. You feel very tiny besides them. In 1916, French Poilus were "prepared" in Verdun. In fact , Alsace-Moselle were germans (today french territory). So, people who lived in those region were enrolled in the german army. Before Verdun, many alsatians deserter from the german army, who spoke french and german, went to the french commandment to tell something big was preparing. German thought Verdun was the weakest point of the french Defense, they were wrong.

The audio never fails me

Easily my favorite bf1 map. God I hope this game gets preserved in a time capsule or something. It’s absolutely insane we can enter a new reality just by turning on a plastic device. What a time to be alive.

Battlefield1: I have the best graphi- Minecraft 4K mods: hold my texture packs

For some reason that scene at 5:36 with the soldier reloading and a gunner standing on the hill in front of the flames is eerie. I can’t imagine this

Love this kind of videos, thank you so much. +1 sub

Those violins at the start gives me the chills and really showed how undeveloped as a humanity we were just over 100 years ago 🙏
