Yep, you heard me, I was not pleased. Sure, it looks good, sure, it's WW1, but the gameplay, the running, the OP Snipers, and damn tanks, pretty much you can't do anything without getting shot at.

Let's start off, the map is absolute horribly, it's unnecessarily huge, like half the map is a waste of space, and they have the audacity to put a flag in the middle of nowhere instead of where the rest of the flags are. I get it, Battlefield is big open warfare, but Battlefield 1943, a PSN/XBL download title, compressed the size of the maps, which not only made the maps much more clear and smaller, but also increases the action, something of which in Battlefield 1, it's like less 10% of the game.

Speaking of which, it's an absolute running simulator. I know, it's just one map right now, but if other maps are going to be like this, then this is going to kill Battlefield 1 once idiotic bandwagon non/self-proclaimed Battlefield players realized that what they're playing is a dull game that's not only a reskin of BF3 and BF4, but also a game that only has its setting worth mentioning otherwise. Because of how huge the maps are, you think the vehicles would help, but horses are worth ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when you're getting shot at. Should I mention that if you dare to try to move from one flag to another, you're going to get shot at by literally 5-7 guys of the enemy team who come in squads? I know, teammates, well, it would be fine if the "realistic" aiming and physics didn't screw you over all the damn time.

Because of how big these maps are, Snipers galore, the game. Seriously, there's like 2-3 Snipers in almost every building or somewhere near the desert, so you're the type of guy who rushes to the objective, well, tough luck buddy, enjoy getting sniped. Heck, you can get sniped just for spawning, because there's almost no cover in any of the spawns, so you basically have no choice but to run away before coming close to 1% health.

As for vehicles, they're familar Battlefield vehicles, like jeeps, jets, and of course, tanks. Tanks in WW1 aren't exactly efficient, but DICE decided to make them powerful like an actual tank we know now, except they went overboard. While yes, I do give props that you can now spawn in tanks if you died, which is great, the problem comes with that there are 4-5 gunner seats with the main driver, so basically, tanks are powerful in that it's not the driver you have to worry about, it's also the 4 annoying passengers shooting at you when you're trying to destroy it. Destroying tanks may as well be a luck game since it's hard to get close or throw ant-tank grenades when you have not only the passengers shooting at you, but also 3 Snipers with 2 SMG users shooting you as well. Seriously, there is not one moment when anything impressive or "wow" can happen in this game due to how limited you are, unlike BF3 and BF4.

Lastly, the physics and aiming. Regardless of what version you have, aiming feels stiff, because apparently, despite only carrying like a 5% of what Soldiers carry today, you somehow move so sluggish and slow to the point that you're wondering if you're playing as some soldier or just a poor sob drafted to join the war (Then again, the latter is true). Also, you can't jump three feet without losing like 10-20% of your health, because apparently, moving forward fast is a punishment. Because of this, the melee bayonet charge is like your only source of running speed, and even at that, you move like a rock if you didn't hit an enemy when charging, which rewards an insta-kill, which is neat and somewhat satisfying. As for aiming, on top of the "heavy" physics, the aiming is poor in that sometimes, you can feel the sensitivy right, other times, your aim feels "slower" or "faster" than usual, causing inconsistency in how you can take on enemies when shooting directly at them. It's funny when a game like Killzone 2, a PS3 exclusive FPS game, has a better feel in weight and aiming than Battlefield 1, which is supposed to the "realistic engine" game that it's claimed to be.

Did I mention how much I hate Snipers?
