You have to hand it to EA and DICE, they knew exactly what they were doing with Battlefield.

The trailer dropping right around the time everyone was getting that little bit too sick of COD's insistence on future warfare, Battlefield 1 took us right back to the trenches, doing so with one of the most impressive graphics engines seen this generation.

Its campaign is a uniquely framed take on the conflict, focusing on five different stories ranging from dogfighting pilots over London, to the sand dunes and horse-ridden warfare of the Middle-East. It works remarkably well, the only drawback being that you'll clock all these sections in an afternoon, tops.

Granted, the multiplayer is where it's at - and Battlefield 1's cerebral, spectacle-filled dynamic battles are a sight to behold - it's just a shame DICE didn't have the development time to craft a campaign that could rival the likes of the legendary Medal of Honor games.
