30. Battlefield 1

Battlefield 1 is the game fans have been asking for. Set during WW1, players will go through a vast amount of historical locations. From the Italian shore to the Arabian deserts, uncover the good old Battlefield gameplay through a campaign filled with journey, or take to the big multiplayer 64 player battles. Use the original World War 1 weapons and vehicles as you go on land, fly to the air and set sail on the sea.

In Battlefield 1 you’ll experience a variety of battles that span across numerous fronts. Conquer territories and push back the offense, run through the battlefield with your fellow soldiers and break through the enemy’s defenses. Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter set to make war feel even more intense and exciting.

The game keeps the many features from previous entries in the series, but puts vehicles in a much bigger light then typically seen, such as the bi- and tri-planes, airships, first-generation tanks, and even soldiers on horseback will make an appearance. WW1 wasn’t just all about trench warfare, and Battlefield 1 is setting out to show that. Melee combat also comes with higher priority than in previous games. Battlefield 1 will include chemical weapons such as the Mustard Gas which was used a lot back in WW1. There will of course be gas masks to counter it, too.

Immerse yourself in the dark times of World War 1.

Battlefield 1 is trying to go back to the time fans have most wanted to see made, and Battlefield 1 is answering to the fans with this entry in the series that is set to release on October 21, 2016. Use spiked maces, trench spades or swords to bash the enemy’s skull in close-quarters combat.

Battlefield 1 looks visually stunning thanks to the amazing Frostbite engine. This seems like it will be one of the best Battlefield games ever, and let’s hope the developers succeed in doing so.
