For the uninitiated, Battlefield 1’s single-player campaign gives fans a narrative in installments with five separate War Stories, as they’re called, occurring in the different theaters of the conflict around the world. As is to be expected, though, the multiplayer mode will more than likely be one of the major components of the title that grabs gamers’ attentions, and it has nine maps, with the developers having put in revamped versions the traditional classes, by giving the soldiers more complex gadgetry than one might associate with The Great War.
Although a lot of press outlets haven’t been able to spend a large amount of time with Battlefield 1, the title’s open beta gave critics and casual players alike the chance to try out earlier builds, which offered a decent idea of what the final product would offer. Needless to say, although the trial was incredibly successful, there’s no way for developers to have included everything that the day one version of Battlefield 1 would contain. So, for those who are still undecided as to whether or not they should buy the game, check out the following reviews below.

Should fans still not be sold by all of the Battlefield 1 reviews listed above, Electronic Arts will be continuing its live streams for the game all the way through its release tomorrow. Each of the sessions are set to last for roughly two hours, and they have been going since Wednesday of last week, so there ought to be plenty of recorded footage for fans to check out by now and make an informed decision.
Taking all of this into consideration, with so many positive reviews for Battlefield 1 already in circulation, it will be interesting to see if the shooter will be able to surpass its competition in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare by the end of the year when it comes to total accumulated sales. Both titles are easily two of the most eagerly awaited releases of holiday 2016, with a recent Nielsen survey even suggesting as much. Of course, only time will tell if Battlefield 1 can come out on top.
Battlefield 1 is set to launch tomorrow on October 21, 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
