The last night I popped EA’s WWI epic into the PS4 was months ago. I used to play daily. Where did the game do me wrong?! I really can’t say too much about the single player in “Battlefield 1” (I heard it was really good) but the multiplayer, in my opinion, is a dud.
Players can choose from 6 gamemodes: Rush, Conquest, Team Deathmatch, Domination, War Pigeons and Operations. Peoples seem to love War Pigeons but I haven’t put much time in that bird-centric mode. I think Operations is hands down the most fun out of the bunch and it could have been the mainstay of the game.
The objective of the gamemode is for the attacking team to push back the defenders from one sector to the next until they completely control the large map. It’s a blast but there are only four campaigns–and only two are really worth playing, Kaiserschlacht and Iron Walls. Sadly, playing these two scenario over-and-over again gets old quick. You want more campaigns? EA expects you to shell out another 40 bucks to buy a couple more Operations maps while the other content goes untouched… Not cool!
I’m not going to pay for more content. Meaning I won’t be playing much more “BF1,” unless it’s for a quick revisit.
