I mean, it wasn’t actually in-game footage, it was in-game engine footage, which is definitely not the same thing by a long shot. It still looks pretty damn close to the actual game though in this case, so you’re not completely wrong.

As someone who played BF1 A LOT: 1. People were mad at COD for releasing another futuristic game in Infinite Warfare, so the World War One setting was a great contrast as a setting. 2. The trailer is really fast and focuses on showcasing the setting and game. It keeps viewer retention and the sound is engaging with the sounds of the game and Seven Nation Army. 3. The game is brutal and that’s showcased in the trailer. People were really tired of clean futuristic games and the shear brutality of bf1 made people want to play it. Overall I love BF1 and it’s what got me into history, which led to my major in college nearly a decade later. Probably my favorite historical game of all time.
Back in the days, most of my friends were COD fans, I remember telling them “ come play BF4 with me “ but they would never. THEN everything changed. BF1 showed up, and for the first time ever, they left COD and bought BF1! They even played the beta! It was just EPIC.
Same here, but I was the one who preferred CoD. At that time, I was still playing the original MW trilogy and WaW. BF1 just looked so good. I got the BF1 edition Xbox One and game. Haven't looked back.
Never understood the separation hype, I played both. Totally different experiences. CoD was more sweaty and competitive, battlefield was more immersive and relaxing. Sometimes I was in the mood for one or the other.
@@volkoff6357 Limited HUD and friendly fire too! so players needed to learn what uniforms looked like to know if they were aiming at friendlies or enemies
BF1’s success was something that I remember pulling so many CoD fans (me included) to get the game. The issue with CoD is that every 3-4 years there needs to be some semblance of a change of setting/era. Nowadays, if you asked the average CoD fan if they would want a WW2 CoD game, they would probably say no. But if you asked the average CoD fan back in 2016 if they wanted a WW2 game, they would say hell fucking yes. This is because CoD was stuck in the future for like 4 years. BF1 taking that need for an old, boots on the ground world war game and taking it to WW1, a barely explored era, was what pulled so many people in. Frankly, I’d go as far as to say that the game heavily increased the interest in what was seen as a long forgotten era. It did such an incredible job at painting war itself in such a gritty, horrific manner that hadn’t really been portrayed in a mainline AAA shooter since CoD: WAW. Battlefield 1 was the first and only game I ever preordered and I do not regret it. The game is nothing but a work of art and I will always remember it fondly.
Part of me wonder's if we will ever see anything like BF1 again: A game that respected the era it was set in, chose an era that had largely been ignored by the industry, depicted it so viscerally and immersively without sacrificing gameplay, Brought in millions of players all together enjoying the same thing for 3 whole years, Complete with AAA level graphics, destructible terrain, terrain altering player controlled events, full combined arms combat, and a clear and noticeable enthusiasm from the developers, singleplayer available, the ability for players to host their own servers so the game could live on past developer support, and not be a live service game chock full of microtransactions while requiring several DLC just to be playable and was functional with little to no issues at launch. Often BF1 seems like it wasn't just the last great multiplayer shooter, but was also the last of it's era of actually good AAA games that wanted to do new things and push the limits with their big budgets.
With the lack of great games for the current generation, yes. Even if they re-released it for the current generation, it would be one of the biggest of the decade.
Honestly, BFV was a really great game. The advanced omnidirectional physics that only now COD is replicating with Black Ops 6 was so good. It felt amazing to play. I really enjoyed playing campaigns that I hadn't played before like the maps in Greece, France, and Tunisia. I get that the US market wasn't that interested until the Pacific content dropped, but it was still incredibly fun. The squad call ins were great and rewarded working as a squad, and also gave you a chance to take a flag or breakthrough in the final moments with the smoke screens, mortar strikes, or V1 Rockets. As buggy as it was, it was incredibly detailed and visually stunning. I also loved being able to customize your soldier. All in all, I do think the game got a lot of undeserved flack at a time when it was "cool" to complain about women being in the game or the prosthetics (despite the prosthetics being historically accurate). It also didn't really have the same excitement/immersion/chaos that BF1 had, which I think behemoths contributed a lot too. And they really did Grand Operations dirty... they should have built on that, and made it even better with BFV. Really wish they gave it more development time, rather than release it in such short time after Battlefront 2.
I remember playing this game's multiplayer for the first time and being overwhelmed by everything, the sounds of gunshots, bullets soldiers screaming, shells dropping, combined with my screen being filled with mud and debris. I found myself having to lay prone being cover for a moment just to compose and reorient myself. It's complete chaos and it made me fall in love with it, I've never seen a multiplayer shooter game capture that feeling before.
My single only complaint with BF1 is that it doesn’t have a single extensive campaign. I understand the meaning of the multiple different stories, but I do wish we could have had something a bit longer
Agreed. BF1’s greatest weakness is its campaign. Those War Stories, as beautifully done and varied as they are, still make it clear that the campaign’s main purpose is to prepare you for multiplayer. It definitely feels like the Operations mode was designed to be the game’s actual “campaign” mode. Also: BF1 is in my top three favorite games ever played, but I still remember the disappointment I felt when I finished the campaign and found out there was no Central Powers perspective. Maybe my thoughts on Operations have just been skewed then since the Germans, Austro-Hungarians, and Ottomans get plenty of love in the intros to those. Either way, it seemed like a major instance of WW2-game traditions of good guy side/bad guy side leaking into a game about WW1, a war which has those on little more than a technicality.
To be fair, BF1’s campaign is the best BF campaign ever. Although that says more about how bad BF campaigns usually are than how good BF1’s campaign is. Still that first mission was epic and really captured the bleak and brutal feel of WWI combat.
@@ERAA-on-YT This is true. Hearing your fellow players cry out in agony as they die is so raw. This game is trying everything it can to authentically (not accurately) capture the feeling of WWI.
While i didnt play it nearly as much as i did 3 & 4, BF1 was the last time i was genuinely excited for a BF game. I've accepted that I'm probably never gonna feel that for a BF game again tbh. Which sucks, but im still thankful for the good games we *did* get.
I played the absolute fuck out of the Grand Operations mode, and always played as a squad leader because when you took sectors you had the whistles, but you as a squad leader could use the "Go! Go! Go!" command and you blare a whistle, and ultimately... The war cries and whistles made charging feel exhilarating, and just outright awesome.
The most incredible thing about it is that it actually lived up to the hype remarkably well, which is a lot more than what can be said of other titles.
BF1 really is perfection to be honest. The Multiplayer felt intense like an actual warzone that the devs and voice actors put so much into to honor what real horror World War I was. The campaign was solid where although it wasn’t long it had so much emotion into it in seperate battles. The soundtrack this game had was beautiful.
Bf1 has always been my favorite battlefield because every life felt like it’s own movie if you were in the trenches you were always moving if you were in a plane you could support your teammates this game nailed the aesthetic
2:15 It's also because it was the polar opposite of what cod did. People had been begging for a gritty boots on the ground game for ages, and that what was behind the backlash for infinite warfare trailer. BF1 then dropped as the polar opposite of what everyone hated and was basically exactly what everyone wanted.
On the money. Infinite warfare was released directly after bo2, advanced warfare, and bo3. People were getting a little tired of the advanced gameplay and futuristic settings. So when bf1 came out it was completely different then what most of us were used to.
@@khyrons5301 Yeab, it’s funny how they had their success in bf1 because of the more gritty/grounded setting and then go the opposite way with bfv lol. I mean it’s not futuristic obv, but it’s doesn’t have the same feeling at all because it doesn’t take itself anywhere near as seriously. And then 2042 doubled down on that and became futuristic. Whoever was making those decisions at dice needs a new job
What suprises me the most is that DICE/EA made one of the best reveal trailers only for them to make one of the worst reveal trailers in literally the next game. That BFV reveal trailer basically sealed it's future.
Dice really understood that going with a ww1 setting and taking that massive risk in a field saturated with modern settings and ww2, everything needed to be spectacular. The visuals, the audio, all the player feedback and gunplay, they really hit a homerun.
Being set in WW1 also helped at that time a lot of players were asking for a boots on the ground type of game and COD released the opposite of that while BF1 was boots on the ground but set in WW1 which is super cool
I still remember being in the cafeteria my senior year of high school when the leaks came out of the WW1 setting just a few days before the trailer. None of us believed it would be set in WW1 but we were absolutely blown away when the reveal came out. BF1 is still to this day the only game I've ever preordered, even though I haven't played it in almost 3 years now.
“Monkey See Monkey Do.” You’re right. And for the time being we just gotta accept it because no one has come up with a better marketing tactic and product to make some new and original. It always takes time and we may as well appreciate wheat we currently have
Oh my god you're right!!! Right down to the extra percussion hits. I've noticed it has been really bad lately at the movies even for like whimsical stuff. I'm not a huge fan of it.
3:12 you mentioned that BF1 would be different from anything we’ve seen before. Very fitting for the war that defined modern warfare and a war that humanity wasn’t prepared to be a part in.
Battlefield 1's amazing trailers and the entire presentation of the game itself was so good, that everyone either forgot or didn't notice a lot of the bad design decisions the game made. That's how important marketing and presentation is. To this day, Conquest's scoring system is still broken, among other things. I still love the heck out of the game though!
@ry_an. Indeed! Despite Battlefield 1 being the second worst Battlefield game I've played, I still love the hell out of it! I still main Battlefield V, but I do like to fire up Battlefield 1 every once in a while.
The thing is that artistic and sound design were so insanely good that made people get immersed in the game and forget a bit of the broken gameplay mechanics. Yes, I also dislike the ticket system and some weapons/classes are way too overpowered. (not proud to have my highest killing gun as the smg08). But what are you going to do... that's meta.
Your explanation is perfect, the quality of this is video is really high, I wanted to bring attention also to the trailer of bf1's single player campaign, for me that one is one of the best trailers in games history
Ik the reveal trailer is iconic but they followed it with the absolute banger that was the multiplayer reveal trailer which for me hits insanely hard to this day.
Yes!! It's put me in the world more immerisively than any other game I've ever played. And you can't get away from it. The sound design is unmatched imo and it did such a great job of making you feel like a sdierz not THE soldier.
I remember the trailer gave me goosebumps when I saw it first, I wasn't even looking at battlefield back then, especially after hardliners. But that trailer sold me right away.
Yeah this is why I dont get when publishers nowadays decide their reveal trailer will be a pure-CG or live-action teaser with no gameplay or at the very least in-engine visuals. If a reveal trailer doesnt have in-engine scenes or gameplay I immediately lose interest in it.
So glad someone made a video on this. I preordered BF1 a month early just because of this trailer, as I was learning to play Seven Nation Army's baseline at the time. Wonderful work man.
I remember the good old days of 64v64 BF1 Operations, the scale was epic, the clashes were localized and yet on a grand scale, holding the objectives were each like last stands. It was the second Golden Age of shooters
@@Spoopy_man No, at first BF1 operations had the option of 32v32 or 64v64, then after a few years less people played, and they shutdown the 64v64 servers
@@sw1nkz50That's just wrong. they had 20vs20 and 32vs32 options for Operations and then removed 20vs20 because 32vs32 servers were not getting populated after some years. Now 20vs20 is exclusive to only Shock Operations, which were added during the final updates. That's why 64vs64 was a marketing point for 2042 initially.
At 33 years old I went my entire life without hearing The White Stripes and pretty thankful I did but when that trailer dropped that guy the song way more than it probably should have and it was the most unique experience that I've ever seen for a battlefield game.
All of BF1's trailers are excellent. The launch trailer is probably my favorite, but Apocalypse's was also incredible even to the others. And all of them are gameplay footage or engine footage with the in-game graphics (though on the highest available settings, they're still on available settings to begin with).
This trailer made me buy my copy on day one and I'm glad to still have it. The multiplayer was intense and even the single player war stories delivered, the players deaths in the first one reminding us that this was a real nightmare of a war. Battlefield 1 well deserved it's acclaim both as a game and on RUclips. 'What follows is frontline combat, you are not expected to survive'.
I remember watching this trailer after school. It was simply the best trailer (and it still is today) I had ever seen in my entire life. I had never been so hyped for a game, I kept rewatching that trailer for hours.
All of the Battlefield 1 trailers for all of the DLC were incredible. So unique, they told a story for the DLC that they were associated with and had killer music. I also have to give props to the MW2019 reveal trailer because they used Enter Sandman as the music. They also timed the beats to the music and was so well done
Mainly because most of the devs of Dice (the people who made BF) were new, and pretty much all the previous devs left. What really crippled it was the game engine Frostbite. The old devs created it and updated it a bunch. Bad news is when all the old devs left nobody knew how to tinker with the engine. And right when it couldnt get worse the 19 sickness came and everyone worked from home. Over time 2042 healed but yeah, you can blame EA for Dice's suffering.
I still get goosebumps watching that trailer. My wife likes to sit and watch me play my games, so lately i've been replaying BF1, and she loves the cinematic nature
Man I remember my buddy and I watching this trailer over and over. This ended up only being my third ps4 game and man when I did get around to playing it it was a damn good time.
I still play bf1 instead of any newer bf or cod games or any other fps games. Bf1 is absolutely beautiful, top-tier fps games ever made. Brings memories and dunno. It's freaking amazing.
Very good video. Your points were made, backed up with evidence and supplementary information, and were succinctly delivered. Excellent job, this game deserves all the love it gets.
Battlefield was my first intro to video games, and i was so hyped for it that i saved up money for a whole year to be able to buy a console and was instantly hooked. Other games will come and go, but Battlefield 1 will always have that special place in my heart as far as games go.
I still remember when my friends and I saw both the cod trailer and the BF1 trailer. We were all long time cod players but after so many lack luster game releases, BF1 swept us off our feet with the trailer, and we bought the game day of release! We still play to this day
Recently installed the game for the first time and there are still a bunch of full servers with different game modes. The graphics have really stood the test of time and the WW1 setting is very unique and engaging.
Loved the video. Especially the editing! All cut aways were hilarious! The sponge bob butt slap and the ferris builders ooh yeah, and jj ice fish. Comedy gold! And I also enjoy your intro very much. "I'm peach and welcome to the pit" was smooth! Keep it up!
I would never thought I would love or any Triple A company make game about WW1. But this game just hit different. The atmosphere, sounds effects, gameplay, and the musics were all melded together for perfection.
Bf1 was literally the most beautiful and jaw dropping game ever to be put out by any game company. No one will ever be able to replicate it. Wich is very sad. I wish i could go back to when many people were playing the game. It was so fun i miss the old times
Battlefield 1 was one of my first and only battlefield games I've played and enjoyed, the game felt brutal and surreal, the game was so immersive and using seven nation army for a trailer from a ww1 game fit so perfectly, I may have missed the golden age of gaming but I didn't miss this one and I'm glad for it
One more thing
The game was the trailer and the trailer was the game, It was in game footage.
One thing about other games is that the game is nothing like the trailer but bf1 was better than the trailers
Yeah watching the trailer back now, I don't think of the trailer itself, I think of the gameplay I experienced when I played the game.
I mean, it wasn’t actually in-game footage, it was in-game engine footage, which is definitely not the same thing by a long shot. It still looks pretty damn close to the actual game though in this case, so you’re not completely wrong.
well no not exactly, only like 20% of it, the rest was cinematic but still the game delivered.
The fact that the engine footage feels so much like Game footage says more about the game.
Yeah the trailer looks slightly better but BF1 can be so cinematic that it feels like a trailer at points

Agreed. BF1’s greatest weakness is its campaign. Those War Stories, as beautifully done and varied as they are, still make it clear that the campaign’s main purpose is to prepare you for multiplayer. It definitely feels like the Operations mode was designed to be the game’s actual “campaign” mode.
Also: BF1 is in my top three favorite games ever played, but I still remember the disappointment I felt when I finished the campaign and found out there was no Central Powers perspective. Maybe my thoughts on Operations have just been skewed then since the Germans, Austro-Hungarians, and Ottomans get plenty of love in the intros to those. Either way, it seemed like a major instance of WW2-game traditions of good guy side/bad guy side leaking into a game about WW1, a war which has those on little more than a technicality.
@@pretzelbomb6105 To be fair the amount of voice acting in multiplayer is kinda the equivalent of the effort they could have put in a campaign.
To be fair, BF1’s campaign is the best BF campaign ever.
Although that says more about how bad BF campaigns usually are than how good BF1’s campaign is.
Still that first mission was epic and really captured the bleak and brutal feel of WWI combat.
@@ERAA-on-YT This is true.
Hearing your fellow players cry out in agony as they die is so raw.
This game is trying everything it can to authentically (not accurately) capture the feeling of WWI.
I fucking loved the tank campaign.
While i didnt play it nearly as much as i did 3 & 4, BF1 was the last time i was genuinely excited for a BF game.
I've accepted that I'm probably never gonna feel that for a BF game again tbh. Which sucks, but im still thankful for the good games we *did* get.
You said exactly how I feel. I will never be as excited for a new game now as I had in the past, but I cherish those old times
I played the absolute fuck out of the Grand Operations mode, and always played as a squad leader because when you took sectors you had the whistles, but you as a squad leader could use the "Go! Go! Go!" command and you blare a whistle, and ultimately... The war cries and whistles made charging feel exhilarating, and just outright awesome.
Grand operations were the SHIT. Such an immersive mode
I spam the whistle when my squad mates are useless blueberries camping in the back or when we have an arty truck wasting a tank slot.
The hype for this game was UNREAL
The most incredible thing about it is that it actually lived up to the hype remarkably well, which is a lot more than what can be said of other titles.
I have played BF1 for 5 years and it's a part of my heart
I missed the day when Call of Duty had Hans Zimmer music instead of hip hop one
Seven nation army is not hip hop...

BF1 really is perfection to be honest. The Multiplayer felt intense like an actual warzone that the devs and voice actors put so much into to honor what real horror World War I was. The campaign was solid where although it wasn’t long it had so much emotion into it in seperate battles. The soundtrack this game had was beautiful.
Truthfully my only complaint is I wish the campaign had more stories or they were longer, but this game was a masterpiece.
Shooters were going so far into the future at the time that the ww1 thing was an extreme reaction the people loved
Bf1 has always been my favorite battlefield because every life felt like it’s own movie if you were in the trenches you were always moving if you were in a plane you could support your teammates this game nailed the aesthetic
That all BF games though... Like all all of them.
2:15 It's also because it was the polar opposite of what cod did. People had been begging for a gritty boots on the ground game for ages, and that what was behind the backlash for infinite warfare trailer. BF1 then dropped as the polar opposite of what everyone hated and was basically exactly what everyone wanted.
On the money. Infinite warfare was released directly after bo2, advanced warfare, and bo3. People were getting a little tired of the advanced gameplay and futuristic settings. So when bf1 came out it was completely different then what most of us were used to.
@@khyrons5301 Yeab, it’s funny how they had their success in bf1 because of the more gritty/grounded setting and then go the opposite way with bfv lol. I mean it’s not futuristic obv, but it’s doesn’t have the same feeling at all because it doesn’t take itself anywhere near as seriously. And then 2042 doubled down on that and became futuristic. Whoever was making those decisions at dice needs a new job
What suprises me the most is that DICE/EA made one of the best reveal trailers only for them to make one of the worst reveal trailers in literally the next game. That BFV reveal trailer basically sealed it's future.
8 years past, like it was yesterday.
Dice really understood that going with a ww1 setting and taking that massive risk in a field saturated with modern settings and ww2, everything needed to be spectacular. The visuals, the audio, all the player feedback and gunplay, they really hit a homerun.
Being set in WW1 also helped at that time a lot of players were asking for a boots on the ground type of game and COD released the opposite of that while BF1 was boots on the ground but set in WW1 which is super cool
“The I’m gonna kms”
Caught me off guard
1:24 Me: Titanfall 2 :(
Titanfall 2 was a brilliant game but the hype around Battlefield 1 was outstanding which killed a lot of anticipation for Titanfall 2
@@MrSweedgaming2respawn launched Titanfall in-between the 2 largest fps franchises in the world 😭 TWICE!
Titanfalls downfall was an inside job blud.
EA set it up to fail.
One of the best trailers i've ever seen, and im still playing bf1 these days
This is why L4D2 hit different. I watched the trailer for the first time and my mouth was WIDE. It's bc the Trailer was accurate to the gameplay.
I still remember being in the cafeteria my senior year of high school when the leaks came out of the WW1 setting just a few days before the trailer. None of us believed it would be set in WW1 but we were absolutely blown away when the reveal came out. BF1 is still to this day the only game I've ever preordered, even though I haven't played it in almost 3 years now.
5:42 ever since bf1 ALL FPS TRAILERS DO THIS. EVEN MOVIE TRAILERS!! I’m so sick of seeing this.
“Monkey See Monkey Do.”
You’re right. And for the time being we just gotta accept it because no one has come up with a better marketing tactic and product to make some new and original.
It always takes time and we may as well appreciate wheat we currently have
More like since bf4
This is not a new marketing thing. This goes back way before BF1.
Oh my god you're right!!! Right down to the extra percussion hits. I've noticed it has been really bad lately at the movies even for like whimsical stuff. I'm not a huge fan of it.
BF1 was like playing in a movie game was cinematic af
I may have sucked on Xbox but god damn I had so much fun in this game with the boys
3:12 you mentioned that BF1 would be different from anything we’ve seen before. Very fitting for the war that defined modern warfare and a war that humanity wasn’t prepared to be a part in.
It wasn't a trailer, it was all just a huge edit.
Great wording
EA is putting the new anticheat in BF1 too. Rest in Trenches my old friend.
What’s wrong with the new anti cheat?
@scpfoundation9361 It's a kernel level anticheat, similar to Vanguard. So it is malware, Spyware and doesn't work on Linux.
i mean.... its very intrusive but i guess there wont be any more hackers...? @@dustojnikhummer
@@dustojnikhummer gross
Least cinematic Battlefield 1 scene is probably non existent. Every second I played that gem was absolutely perfect
bf1 is one of the most immersive games ever. the game is the only shooter game to have ever made me feel the terror of war.
Battlefield 1's amazing trailers and the entire presentation of the game itself was so good, that everyone either forgot or didn't notice a lot of the bad design decisions the game made. That's how important marketing and presentation is.
To this day, Conquest's scoring system is still broken, among other things. I still love the heck out of the game though!
Also elite kits, sweet spot, movement, indirect fire, heavy bomber. But the game is still very good
@ry_an. Indeed! Despite Battlefield 1 being the second worst Battlefield game I've played, I still love the hell out of it!
I still main Battlefield V, but I do like to fire up Battlefield 1 every once in a while.
The thing is that artistic and sound design were so insanely good that made people get immersed in the game and forget a bit of the broken gameplay mechanics. Yes, I also dislike the ticket system and some weapons/classes are way too overpowered. (not proud to have my highest killing gun as the smg08). But what are you going to do... that's meta.
@@ry_an.What's wrong with rhe kits and the scoring system?
the OST for this game is so goated, one of the greatest ever.
Your explanation is perfect, the quality of this is video is really high, I wanted to bring attention also to the trailer of bf1's single player campaign, for me that one is one of the best trailers in games history
Ik the reveal trailer is iconic but they followed it with the absolute banger that was the multiplayer reveal trailer which for me hits insanely hard to this day.
4:22 I was not expecting that ice jj fish 😂😂😂😂😂
I Feel like every developer who worked for each respective company making this game poured their hearts into this
It's just so atmospheric, to this day and the trailer captures it well.
Yes!! It's put me in the world more immerisively than any other game I've ever played. And you can't get away from it. The sound design is unmatched imo and it did such a great job of making you feel like a sdierz not THE soldier.
I remember the trailer gave me goosebumps when I saw it first, I wasn't even looking at battlefield back then, especially after hardliners. But that trailer sold me right away.
Yeah this is why I dont get when publishers nowadays decide their reveal trailer will be a pure-CG or live-action teaser with no gameplay or at the very least in-engine visuals. If a reveal trailer doesnt have in-engine scenes or gameplay I immediately lose interest in it.
So glad someone made a video on this. I preordered BF1 a month early just because of this trailer, as I was learning to play Seven Nation Army's baseline at the time.
Wonderful work man.
Subscribed because of Ice JJ Fish
"there's something about you girl" kills me every time
I literally get goosebumps every time I see the BF1 Trailer.
I remember the good old days of 64v64 BF1 Operations, the scale was epic, the clashes were localized and yet on a grand scale, holding the objectives were each like last stands.
It was the second Golden Age of shooters
32 vs 32?
@@Spoopy_man No, at first BF1 operations had the option of 32v32 or 64v64, then after a few years less people played, and they shutdown the 64v64 servers
@@sw1nkz50That's just wrong. they had 20vs20 and 32vs32 options for Operations and then removed 20vs20 because 32vs32 servers were not getting populated after some years. Now 20vs20 is exclusive to only Shock Operations, which were added during the final updates.
That's why 64vs64 was a marketing point for 2042 initially.
@@sw1nkz50 2042 was the only game to have 64v64

At 33 years old I went my entire life without hearing The White Stripes and pretty thankful I did but when that trailer dropped that guy the song way more than it probably should have and it was the most unique experience that I've ever seen for a battlefield game.
All of BF1's trailers are excellent. The launch trailer is probably my favorite, but Apocalypse's was also incredible even to the others. And all of them are gameplay footage or engine footage with the in-game graphics (though on the highest available settings, they're still on available settings to begin with).
This trailer made me buy my copy on day one and I'm glad to still have it. The multiplayer was intense and even the single player war stories delivered, the players deaths in the first one reminding us that this was a real nightmare of a war. Battlefield 1 well deserved it's acclaim both as a game and on RUclips. 'What follows is frontline combat, you are not expected to survive'.
0:22 it’s also the best
Debatable, but definitely top 3.
I remember watching this trailer after school. It was simply the best trailer (and it still is today) I had ever seen in my entire life. I had never been so hyped for a game, I kept rewatching that trailer for hours.
BF1 release year is my main orientation point for how long ago something was.
Pretty impactful I say.
All of the Battlefield 1 trailers for all of the DLC were incredible. So unique, they told a story for the DLC that they were associated with and had killer music.
I also have to give props to the MW2019 reveal trailer because they used Enter Sandman as the music. They also timed the beats to the music and was so well done
Battlefield 2042 trailer goes so hard with kickstart my heart im ngl
too bad the developers didn’t understand battlefield
Mainly because most of the devs of Dice (the people who made BF) were new, and pretty much all the previous devs left. What really crippled it was the game engine Frostbite.
The old devs created it and updated it a bunch. Bad news is when all the old devs left nobody knew how to tinker with the engine. And right when it couldnt get worse the 19 sickness came and everyone worked from home.
Over time 2042 healed but yeah, you can blame EA for Dice's suffering.
BF1 is just such a phenomenal game. Well done Dice, well done.
BF1 still has one of the best music and visuals among all war games. Dice truly created something legendary.
I still get goosebumps watching that trailer. My wife likes to sit and watch me play my games, so lately i've been replaying BF1, and she loves the cinematic nature
I still remember people saying, nah ww1 is too dull, they would never make a game about trench warfighting
those people were idiots man.
It's setting is WW1 but it plays more like WW2, that's not a bad thing though.
Man I remember my buddy and I watching this trailer over and over. This ended up only being my third ps4 game and man when I did get around to playing it it was a damn good time.
I still play bf1 instead of any newer bf or cod games or any other fps games. Bf1 is absolutely beautiful, top-tier fps games ever made. Brings memories and dunno. It's freaking amazing.
Very good video. Your points were made, backed up with evidence and supplementary information, and were succinctly delivered. Excellent job, this game deserves all the love it gets.
Bf1 isn't very accurate, in some places not authentic but it damn well captures quite a lot of fronts very well
Bf1 was the first shooter i was ever allowed to play by my mother and to this day the trailer still gives me goosebumps.
very good video, thought you had more sub's tbh you're underrated, deserves a sub
I usually dont spend the time giving out subs, but he definitely deserves all the subs he can get, thanks for getting my attention on it
2024 and I still play it at least 3 times a week. Monster of a game.
6:06 they did the exact opposite on bf 2042
This game really did live up to the hype. The chaos in the trailer felt the same in game. Nostalgic
Awesome video!
Thanks so much for watching!
Battlefield 1 was released on my birthday in 2016 and got it that same day, this game is truly the best game I've played.
Is that Sly Cooper heard at 4:17 ????? 🦝🦯
Battlefield was my first intro to video games, and i was so hyped for it that i saved up money for a whole year to be able to buy a console and was instantly hooked. Other games will come and go, but Battlefield 1 will always have that special place in my heart as far as games go.
When BF1 came out, blew my mind, ik it was the way of how well they created the trailer, but got my attention when they went far to WW1
Man. gameplay, setting, music. Just chef's kiss!
i like battlefield 1 but infinite warfare got a LOT of undeserved hate it was a genuinely good game
BF1 set the bar so high it can never be matched again
I still remember when my friends and I saw both the cod trailer and the BF1 trailer. We were all long time cod players but after so many lack luster game releases, BF1 swept us off our feet with the trailer, and we bought the game day of release! We still play to this day
Recently installed the game for the first time and there are still a bunch of full servers with different game modes. The graphics have really stood the test of time and the WW1 setting is very unique and engaging.
Loved the video. Especially the editing! All cut aways were hilarious! The sponge bob butt slap and the ferris builders ooh yeah, and jj ice fish. Comedy gold! And I also enjoy your intro very much. "I'm peach and welcome to the pit" was smooth! Keep it up!
I would never thought I would love or any Triple A company make game about WW1. But this game just hit different. The atmosphere, sounds effects, gameplay, and the musics were all melded together for perfection.
Bf1 was literally the most beautiful and jaw dropping game ever to be put out by any game company. No one will ever be able to replicate it. Wich is very sad. I wish i could go back to when many people were playing the game. It was so fun i miss the old times
Still tons of full conquest servers on PS4 North America
BF1 was the absolute peak of shooters, the game was perfect. Graphically it is still stunning
Battlefield 1 was one of my first and only battlefield games I've played and enjoyed, the game felt brutal and surreal, the game was so immersive and using seven nation army for a trailer from a ww1 game fit so perfectly, I may have missed the golden age of gaming but I didn't miss this one and I'm glad for it
Me and my friend returned to BF1 like two weeks ago and we’re enjoying it every day
Great video. Pulling for this channel to succeed. Great start. +1 fan
Whats crazy to me is how the hype grew so large and in my opinion they delivered fully.
The most bad ass move ever was the Battlefield 3 trailer ending with “Above and beyond the call”
Only trailer ever that made me hype and didnt disapoint me in the end.
We were 8 people in the party playing the beta. It was amazing
Whenever you put them trailerclips for BF1 my hype spiked over and over again haha it´s just PERFECT
Damn I got chills watching the trailer again good times
