World War I returns to console with Battlefield 1

Alex Moreno, Staff Writer

With the release of Battlefield 1 in late October, it has become one of the most influential games in history, competing with top first-person shooter franchises such as, Call of Duty, Halo and Gears of War.

Overview:

EA (Electronic Arts) took a different outlook in the new Battlefield. Instead of making the new game futuristic they went to the past, placing players in the middle of the trench warfare of World War I.

Gameplay:

Battlefield is known for having bad campaigns in their franchises but this year was different. The campaign mode has larger and more open environments than those in previous installments in the franchise, with more options and choices in terms of paths to completing levels and how to approach combat. The campaign is a merge of very different people telling their stories and experience that they have been through the war.

The multiplayer maps are now bigger and more intense than its predecessors. Now you are able to ride horses and older versions of motorcycles that have a passenger seat installed which is useful because you know that the passenger has your back. They also have battleships, Armored trains, and many different vehicles.

The game launched with nine multiplayer maps and six game modes, which include Conquest, Domination, Operations, Rush, Team Deathmatch, and War Pigeons.

Battlefield has improved a lot over the year and now it is even more destructive. During the matches you have opportunities to take down air crafts, and when the aircraft’s crash to the ground they destroy parts of the battlefield.

Verdict:

I personally I have tried Battlefield 1 and it is one of the best first person shooter since Black ops 1 came out in my opinion. The graphics are great and it makes you feel as if you are in WWI and whenever you shoot you have to pre aim in order to kill an opponent .It is really intense.I really enjoyed it and I really recommend it if you like FPS(first person shooter) games. know that the passenger has your back.
