1. Multiplayer Needs To Be Your Reason To Purchase

"For every cool moment I have in Battlefield 1, whether it’s bayoneting a soldier or chopping someone in half from horseback, I’ll be blown up by twenty tanks or be headshot by twenty snipers. The campaign is mostly great, but again, probably no more than a 6-7 hour experience, and obviously not the worth the price of admission by itself. You will have to love multiplayer to make this game worth it, and if you don’t, well, you’re out of luck." - Forbes

Taking into account all of the previous entry, Forbes make a huge point of essentially saying, 'If you didn't buy Battlefield for the campaign in the past, don't start now.'

You need to be completely sure when dropping $60 on something like Battlefield, that you're going to make the most of the multiplayer component. The campaign is definitely a worthwhile experience, but nowhere near enough to justify the hefty price tag.

Many things have been changed and aesthetically overhauled for Battlefield 1, but this element of its core appeal has remained concrete: If you're playing Battlefield, you're playing online.
