I am new to the Battlefield franchise and after seeing the trailer and playing the BETA this game is something I've been wanting for a very long time, I love war games based on true events not the same old futuristic stuff we see nowadays. I'll start by saying this is by far the best FPS I've ever played (and I've played a ton of FPS over the years), the graphics, the game play, the really impressive draw distance and the realistic sounds effects all make this such an amazing experience, the level of detail gone into the maps is insane, the game has a dynamic weather feature which means the weather can change suddenly which will impact the game play massively not only that but I noticed when it was raining you can actually see little drops of rain hitting your gun and running down the sides which again adds to the realism (each map doesn't have a set programmed weather scheme either so you could literally play the same map 10 times without even seeing some of the more serious weather effects as it's all randomised). There are also many weapons in the game so every player will find something they like and feel comfortable using and each weapon has a little information about it so not only are you playing the game you're also learning about WW1. There are 9 multiplayer maps in total however we will be getting a free map in December, so that will make it up to 10 Multiplayer Maps, each Map is unique and extremely large you can choose between 20vs20 players or 32vs32 players (I think everyone just plays 32vs32 i'm not too sure why they have this as a feature), there are many different game modes to choose from each too so if you do eventually get tried of playing a certain game mode you will always have another game type to play, The game play is smooth, the loading times are very fast and depending on which game type you play on each match can last between 15 - 40 minutes (I play a game type called conquest and each game usually lasts for around 25 minutes on average) It's worth buying for the multiplayer player alone! I have included some screenshots from 4 of the multiplayer map, it's so you hopefully get an idea of the level of detail gone into the game. I purposely tried to not show much of the map so that it doesn't ruin too much as I think it's a special moment when you see it for yourself for the first time.
I'll now talk about the Single Player, although I haven't played much of the single player just yet however from what I have played I really enjoyed it the game doesn't just have 1 big campaign it is broken up into 6 mini campaign these are called 'War Stories' after completing the 2 prologue missions you are able to choose from any of the 6 war story's that you want to play first each war story has around 6 missions. I choose the war story called Through Mud and Blood which shows the life of a young soldier named Edwards who operates in a tank along side other soldiers. I have only played 2 of the 6 missions from the war story so far and i'm genuinely really enjoying it and I have to say they're lengthy and really interesting missions. One of my favourite moments was the pigeon scene which was absolutely incredible! I look forward to playing more of the single player and learning more about WW1 history and I think this game does and excellent job of teaching you that. 5/5 from me!

At least something good came out of WW1
A single player worth playing. A fresh multiplayer mode. An exciting new setting for Battlefield. Turns out WW1 works as a good gaming setting. After WW2 was done to death (no pun intended), various Cold War backgrounds flogged for all they're worth and now crazy space future battles being pitched for other titles, what a relief to have a decent historical world to play in. The best new feature is 'operations' mode in the multiplayer. An impressive new way to play capture the flag, that uses the wider map in an clever way. The single player is a combination of mini-stories. Each worth playing and investing some time in. A good return to form for Battlefield.
