TotalBiscuit made similar remarks about the game on the Co Optional Podcast, and he was right, I was really surprised when Jim Sterling actually liked the campaign of this game.Wolf Hagen said:Thanks, at least one reviewer who saw the wallpaper swapjob from WW II to WW I with the centerforces essentially beeing grumpykrauts.

I think a sizable part of it is that a "large" amount of reviewers and consumers wanted something that wasn't knock-off Halo/Doom/Half-Life/TimeSplitters/[Wolf Hagen said:Thanks, at least one reviewer who saw the wallpaper swapjob from WW II to WW I with the centerforces essentially beeing grumpykrauts.

I was expecting him to compare and contrast BF1 to CoD:IW this week.master-xavier said:I wonder, considering the amount of BIG releases at this time of the year (Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2, Final Fantasy 15, Dead Rising 4, The Last Guardian), if Yahtzee will do a "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare VS Titanfall 2" to save space and that way being able to review more games before the year is over.
It makes sense because this time they are both Sci-Fi military shooters about fighting over control of a solar system, limited jet packs and free running, piloting as a big part of the gameplay (Starship in one and Mecha on the other) with an AI companion and relatively short campaigns, they're similar enough that a comparison review would be perfectly plausible.
Apparently they took big strides to find any prototype smgs they could so people could run around with automatics instead of the bolt action rifles pretty much everyone would have.Darth_Payn said:I was expecting him to compare and contrast BF1 to CoD:IW this week.master-xavier said:I wonder, considering the amount of BIG releases at this time of the year (Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2, Final Fantasy 15, Dead Rising 4, The Last Guardian), if Yahtzee will do a "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare VS Titanfall 2" to save space and that way being able to review more games before the year is over.

And they really still have automatic weapons like from WWII for this game? Why not the single-shot rifles they actually had in the war? I've played WWII shooters that had those.
From what I gather, he did not like it. Basically too much like previous Battlefield games with nothing to differentiate it for the better outside of model skins.Gorfias said:I got it and there is a lot to recommend it.
Maybe I'm think: did yahtzee particularly dislike this game?
So far, to me, I agree it is not a history lesson. There weren't so many automatic weapons then. Even so, the focus on fun and it is beautiful to look at.
1. I like it.
2. I don't really understand Yahtee's review. Did he particularly dislike it?
