10 Things Battlefield 1 Already Does Better Than Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare

4. Riskier Than Call Of Duty Has Been In Years

It must be said, the decision to go back to World War I was a bold move from EA and DICE. It may have been a move fans have been asking for, but the current market is saturated with futuristic and fast-paced FPS games. Forgoing Ghosts, Call of Duty has been living in the future for the past four years, what with Black Ops II, III and Advanced Warfare. All these releases tend to blend into one: Fast paced movement, booster packs, exo-skeletons, robots - it gets further and further away from what established the franchise in the first place.

Battlefield on the other hand has shown more risk in the past two games than Call of Duty has in a long time. Battlefield Hardline, even if it wasn't received well by the fans, was something new; a cops n' robbers-type game with a unique structured story, all in a modern setting. A year later, Battlefield is going back nearly 100 years and giving us a war that has barely been covered in video games.

It's just nice to finally see a big AAA title take a risk with a more untapped time period, because other than Far Cry Primal, no one has done so in quite some time.
