The pace is a bit slower, a bit more methodical, with players forced into a more deliberate war. Weapons are heavy and mechanical, land vehicles are slow and clumsy, airplanes feel like they’re held together with duct tape and glue. History aside, it’s somewhat of a return to the Battlefield of old. It is, in all honesty, everything that World War I wasn’t. It’s dashing! It’s grand! It’s full of sweeping gestures and senseless bravado. The history lover says “Well actually, battles in World War I didn’t really play out like this at all, and a lot of these weapons are anachronistic or downright nonsensical.” The history lover wants to play more Verdun.īut the Battlefield fan in me has fallen in love with the dusty Sinai Peninsula, its beautifully-rendered rocky outcroppings full of snipers and its great rust-colored sand dunes rumbling with the sound of lightly-armored tanks and pounding artillery fire. The history lover says no game based on the tragedy of World War I, the war to end all wars, should be this fun. The history lover in me still objects to Battlefield 1. A cannon that was mounted on the front of an armored train car. Shot down another plane with a cannon.Killed two enemy soldiers with a damn cannon.Died when I was run through by a bayonet.Sniped by a cape-wearing man on horseback.
