Battlefield™ 1

just leaving a negative review because no longer playable on linux. Great game, though. EA is killing this.

I played 3 battlefield games before . AND this is the first Battlefield game I was played . It's still alive in 2025 with active players. this game is better than Battlefield 2042 .If you are new to Battlefield Franchise, You should play this , I'm sure you love this game like me.😀🥰

Spawned in a multiplayer match Died to Sniper Respawn Died to Sniper Respawn "Is that a tan-" Respawn Die to a guy charging at me with a knife Respawn Kill a guy fighting two of my teamates Feel insane amount of dopamine Died to a sniper Fun game 8/10

"we are losing objective apples" "we have lost objective apples" i can fix her...... amazing ptsd sim!

This game is very good and has great graphics even in 2025. Has Active player base and is the best world war game i have played

the sniper and tank was the way i have played it alot back then on 2016 2017 i was TOP 16 or 13 on the world i love sniper alot in this game

Great game , BUT Fix ur damn launcher . holy fuck, i can't even log in

Do not buy this game. It won't connect to EA servers, I am not the only one with this problem. EA isn't doing shit about it

Campaign was short but emotional, although Multiplayer is fun. Still one of the best Battlefield experiences till now. The WW1 setting is unique, brutal, and beautiful. Gunplay feels weighty, maps are massive and the sound design is unmatched, even years later. For gamers who love War and Chaos. 9/10

Game doesnt get past splash screen, and a seemingly shit ton of people get this error and nothing fixes it for most of us. Ty for your money come again I guess?

It's great first person shooter game with stunning visuals and a breathtaking artstyle (I think gaming peaked when this bad boi got released, correct me if I'm wrong because I think a sh9tty live service game called Anthem was being released during this time). However, if you're purchasing it for the campaign, it's not worth it even if you're getting it for 3 buckuroos. The main selling point of this game is it's multiplayer, and with the small playerbase of around 10k players, you'll have a hard time finding matches. EA, you stupid son of a mutt, you had a golden goose of game. It could've been the Helldivers 2, yet you followed for microtransactions just like how a gold digger follows Shiekhs in Dubai.

[Gameplay] 🕹️ The main fun is in massive multiplayer fights with many players, infantry, tanks, planes, and horses. Operations mode offers grand, multi-map battles. The single-player campaign has short stories that teach you the game, but multiplayer is the true highlight. [Graphics] 🖼️ The game looks amazing. Everything from war-torn landscapes to explosions is highly detailed and realistic. It beautifully captures the grim atmosphere of WWI. [Audio] 👂 The sound is outstanding. Gunfire, explosions, and vehicle noises are powerful and realistic, pulling you right into the battle. The epic soundtrack adds to the drama. [Storytelling] ✒️ There isn't one big story. Instead, you play short "War Stories" from different soldiers' viewpoints. These brief tales introduce you to different aspects of the war and the game. [Difficulty] 💪 The challenge comes from multiplayer skill and teamwork. It can be tough against experienced players. Single-player offers a good learning curve. Mastering different roles keeps the game challenging.

I racked up most of my hours back on the EA launcher, so my Steam playtime looks deceptively low. But Battlefield 1 is still my favorite entry in the series thanks to its distinctive atmosphere. Even after all these years, the game’s visuals and core mechanics hold up impressively well. The player base is alive and kicking too. you’ll find plenty of full community servers even on weekday afternoons. Most of the popular servers enforce K/D, KPM, or level caps, so the environment is surprisingly welcoming to newcomers.

great game, too bad it wont launch no matter what, shame its made by EA

I really wanted to enjoy Battlefield 1, but it just didn't click for me. I bought it for the campaign and oh man the campaign SUCKS. buggy sequences, boring, predictable, braindead AI enemies. Just not really as engaging as I was hoping. For the 2.50$ I got it for, sure, no biggie, but I definitely wouldn't say it's worth full price.

EA Launcher is worse then bloatware - both are undesired but at least one can function.

game is fine but the fucking ea app won't launch properly and won't let me play the game. bullshit ass ea

I was very much enjoying this game - I've owned it on 2 platforms now. We were all having fun until EA decided it'd be a bright idea to add a shady new anti-cheat which, aside from most anti-virus flagging it, destroyed my ability to even launch the game because it's flagging my drivers as cheats. A real shame, because this game is absolutely among the best in the series and was by far one of the most thrilling multiplayer games I'd ever played in a long time. Enough said - this review will stay negative until this glaring problem is addressed.

The best first person shooter made in the past 10+ years. So much care and attention to detail went into this masterpiece. Good campaign and maybe the best Battlefield multiplayer experiences in franchise history. Everything is exquisite from the lobby music down to the voice acting. A very beautiful game that has graphics on par with games made in 2024, this came out in 2016. In my opinion this game was Dice's magnum opus, and sadly it does not look like there will ever be a Battlefield game as good as Battlefield 1 again.

Still one of the most immersive shooters out there, and the servers are usually full, a must buy especially on sale.

Unable to play the game since EA's anticheat flags my wifi drivers.

a game so perfect for its time, if you want ptsd play this game. 10/10 hm: dont play multiplayer if you dont want to destroy your keyboard.

This game is fun and all, but theres a problem. The game is not supported on steam deck. They need to make this game playable again for steam deck players, i am a steam deck user myself, and forever will be. Cause PC costs alot of money nowadays, So PLEASE EA, PLEASE MAKE THIS GAME SUPPORTED ON STEAM DECK AGAIN!! Other steam deck users wanted to play this game too!! But we all cant, cause of the anti-cheat.

Battlefield 1 is an epic, emotional, and massive portrayal of World War I. The atmosphere, attention to detail, music, and campaigns are breathtaking. But it lacks Ukrainian localization. A game of this scale deserves to speak the language of millions of Ukrainian players. Subtitles, UI, and voiceover in Ukrainian matter — for culture, for inclusion, for fairness. EA, hear us out. Ukrainians are part of your story too.

This is one of my favorite games, even though its 8 years old it still holds up. graphics are grate, and the game play is awesome. i highly recommend the game. hope this helped <3

CONSISTENT and PERSISTENT crashing/freezing, currently running a 6800xt, and bf3, bf4, and bf5 all work properly, with bf3 requiring me to move a .dlf file to desktop. havent tried 2042 though.

Battlefield 1 delivers one of the most immersive and atmospheric multiplayer first-person shooter experiences of all time. It’s a must-try game and a personal favourite of mine in the genre.

One of the best WW1 Games on the market, This game came out almost 9 Years ago and the Graphics still look incredible to this day, Its also got some of the best destruction Physics I've ever seen, and it still has a big player base. One of the best Battlefields, And for $1.99, that's one hell of a steal

unemployed? no girlfriend? no friends? shit all of that if you want fun, play this game (required)

When trying to launch any multiplayer game mode, game freezes during menu transition and will not start match que at all. Maybe a 50 series GPU compatibility issue?

be me play old battlefield game cant find aussie servers awshit.mp4 load into japanese servers accidentally kill admin permabanned from server within three seconds 9/10

When Battlefield 1 was announced, the decision to set a major first-person shooter in World War I raised a lot of eyebrows. Could trench warfare, bolt-action rifles, and horseback charges compete with the flashiness of modern military tech or sci-fi weaponry? As it turns out, not only can it compete—it can deliver one of the most gripping, brutal, and beautiful multiplayer shooter experiences in recent memory. While the Battlefield franchise is traditionally known for its sprawling multiplayer, Battlefield 1’s War Stories campaign deserves attention. Instead of a single protagonist, the game offers a series of short narratives told from multiple perspectives: a British tank driver, an Italian shock trooper, an Australian runner at Gallipoli, and even a Bedouin rebel fighting alongside Lawrence of Arabia. Each vignette humanizes the war in its own way, portraying not just the violence, but the fear, desperation, and fleeting moments of heroism. The writing is uneven at times, and some stories are stronger than others (the opening "Storm of Steel" is especially haunting), but the emotional punch is undeniable. DICE made the bold choice to focus on soldiers' humanity, not just their kill count. Where Battlefield 1 truly shines, though, is in its 64-player multiplayer warfare. Every match feels like you're a cog in a massive, thundering machine of war. Infantry charges, cavalry units slicing through trenches, tanks grinding through villages, and biplanes dogfighting above the smoke—it’s chaotic, cinematic, and constantly dynamic. The shift to WWI weaponry doesn’t feel limiting. Instead, it emphasizes skill and strategy. Each weapon class is carefully tuned, from the reliable bolt-action rifles of Scouts to the brutal close-range weaponry of Assault troops. You’re forced to relearn patience, positioning, and timing—qualities often lost in twitchy, modern shooters. The Operations mode is a standout addition: a hybrid of conquest and narrative-driven objectives that stretches across multiple maps. It gives multiplayer context and stakes, turning every push or retreat into a micro-drama. Few games capture the aesthetic horror and beauty of war like Battlefield 1. From the shattered ruins of Amiens to the rolling dunes of Sinai, the game is graphically stunning. The sound design is world-class—every gunshot rings differently based on terrain, artillery shells scream with terrifying force, and the score swells during climactic pushes. Even the menu music has become iconic in its somber, mournful tone—an unusual but fitting mood for a war game. Not everything works perfectly. Vehicle dominance can still frustrate infantry players, especially in open maps where tanks and aircraft can dominate. Some maps are noticeably more lopsided than others in Operations. And while customization exists, it’s far less flexible than modern entries, which might disappoint players used to deep loadout tweaking. However, the game’s class system, combined with dynamic weather and destructible environments, keeps battles unpredictable and forces constant adaptation. No two matches play out the same. Battlefield 1 is a rare war shooter that respects the weight of its setting while delivering bombastic, high-quality gameplay. It trades in the flashy perks and gadgets of modern combat for mud, blood, and raw iron—and it’s better for it. Though not without its faults, it’s one of the most atmospheric, mechanically satisfying, and emotionally resonant shooters of its generation. Whether you’re a franchise veteran or a newcomer, Battlefield 1 stands as a bold and moving entry in a genre that often forgets what war really looks like. Rating: 8/10

Can't launch it because of security violation. Apparently daemon tools is somehow preventing this game to launch... Also doesn't work on steam deck anymore, as well as any other of your battlefield games, EA. So thanks for that very much.

I bought Battlefield 1 to relive the WW1 because I really wanted to feel the battle and various modes, but the game is now locked behind EA’s new “EA app” torture chamber. Here’s my journey: Launch from Steam → forced install of EA app. EA app installer fails with error INST-21-32. After an hour of manual fixes (registry edits, firewall exceptions, service restarts) didn't work, so I installed the EA app from some other non official site and the launcher finally opens. Click “Play” → the game fully closes after 30–40 seconds in the main menu. Repeat x3, same instant crash. Zero time in-game, maximum time spent nowhere. Key points: Mandatory third-party launcher and programs from Electronic Arts. Launcher won’t even install cleanly on a fully updated Windows 10 PC. Most support articles are wrong and not helpful. In short, I paid for a historical shooter but received an unpaid IT internship fixing EA’s backend. If you value your time, skip this relic until EA removes its own roadblocks (spoiler: they won’t). I was downloading this game 11 hours for nothing. Got a refund of course, I'm really thankful to steam support.

Failed to join game session. An unknown error occurred > Can't click away Failed to join game session. No available slots > Can't click away Invite people to party > Doesn't show up Restart game > Party invite shows up only first time > Accept > Doesn't join What a buggy sht game (happened to all 3 of us, btw)

Phenomenal game, graphics look better then most new games and age graciously, the campaign is actually fun and engaging with stunning pre-rendered cutscenes and full voice acting, can't speak much for the multiplayer but yeah its fine made by electronic arts, requires launcher. 0/10

its crazy that steam is removing reviews. THIS GAME DOES NOT RUN! the anti cheat causes and error and crashes. Dozens of reviews warned about it yesterday and now they are gone. i returned the game!

on the last mission on hear the dessert the train keeps destroying the field guns too quickly and i cant complete it

The campaign system is really bad. It's split into 6 different 'war stories' but each of them are completely disconnected from one another. It doesn't also help that the war stories are about an hour long, and you can't really tell a good story and flesh out characters in just an hour.

Battlefield 1 remains as one of the best games of this series and it's been almost 10 years since its initial release.

Current Battlefield Server Count via SteamDB. BF 1: 12,884 BF V: 10,600 BF 2042: 7,610 Pretty huge testament to a game holding its own after 9 years. Made some great memories in this game, making more now too.

This game is insanely good. You die a lot but when you get kills and start running throughout the trenches while your ears are ringing is an intense and dopamine filled experience. This is just a dopamine simulator. You feel like your on steroids when your in a bomber and the kill feed just flashes with your name, a bomb, and another persons name. Although its hard getting into the game since a lot of the playerbase are diehard fans with thousands of hours on it i feel like these you can get the hang of it pretty quickly. To be this old of a game (almost 10 years now) and still hold up this well with around 10-20k ppl online everyday is really nice too see. The only downside is a short campaign, although its really good. Some people buy it and find out that the EA launcher sucks because they've never owned an EA game before. JUST USE STEAM. It's not that har and most of the negative reviews are just teenagers that only play rust and fortnite. Overall this game is great, the games mechanics are so realistic that in 10 years when we have better vr experiences (if these servers are still running ofc). I feel like you would think you are actually in a battlefield on the verge of dying. There are some hackers tho, the anti cheat would need an update. They get banned or leave relatively quickly tho so it really isnt an issue. There is like 1 cheater 5-10% of the time. Graphics, gameplay, story and mechanics are phenomenal.. 9/10 would play more but im trying space marine 2 rn.

great game, peak story. all campaign is so emotional,

excellent game, wish more people were playing so the servers would be more packed, but excellent game

Ignore my measly 30hrs on steam, got this game twice first on that shoddy EA storefront then again on Steam just so i could stop dealing with EA's shoddy storefront. This is the last and only good modern Battlefield game that i will count after Battlefield 4. One word "photogrammetry", ok technically two words, but you get my point. Every time i get a new gpu i fire this game up, and every time the graphics hold up. Of course it ain't all about the pretty looks. This game has the hotness in all the right places be it when you're mowing down the enemy as they push up onto Monte Grappa or the visceral feeling of nailing those headshots with your favourite sniper rifle in the Sinai Desert (seriously, the sniper "feel" in this game is just mmmmmmmmmmmmm) 10/10 The Great War, lives upto its name.

This is the best WW1 game i ever played plus it hase the best atmosphere in the battlefield franchise i recommend this game to everyone 11/10

Battlefield 1 is one of - if not the - best games in the series. The setting is great, the atmosphere is great, the balance could use work but you can't complain. This game is nearing 10 years of being out, yet it still is graphically beautiful - largely thanks to photogrammetry.

Absolutely stunning game! The atmosphere, the sound design, and the visuals are top-notch Every match feels intense and immersive, especially in Operations mode. this game still holds up, and I highly recommend it ★★★★★

This game NEVER gets old, still (in my opinion) the best battlefield. The level of detail, immersive and FUN this game has is AMAZING. Love playin medic and just spammin heals and revives in operations dodging bullets and explosions.

nothing can explain how a good game battlefield 1 is and its not the first time im buying it anyway xd
