2:13 For me this was always a powerful scene to watch. All of the politics, the command, and history are gone in the moment. Just two people looking each other in the eyes to realize they are both human and both just want a good life and they don't want to die.
The beginning of the intro and the end give me chills. Because these brave men on both side de fought and died for what they believed and nobody won the war because after this there is a war in the mind. war changes a man. I may not be a solider or a veteran, but those who have faith and believe in god are his children. Me personally, if there was a way to save a man and turn his life around to Christ in warfare I would gladly choose that option, over killing him and trying to live with my self knowing I killed another brain washed man or women or even child. As far as I've learned from video games, movies, documentarys, and articles and storys, that war is unforgiving and he'll.
When I started up the war stories and saw that intro exposition about ww1 and frontline combat and how when you died it showed you the name of that soldier with their date of birth and death then just dropped you into the shoes of someone else. Shit was too real
What scared me the most was when one of the soldiers was just simply named "A soldier of the great war". Really shows that some people who died were just a number
@@seanbarrio_s exactly but people and our government nowadays don’t care about our military or our soldiers but I do They are my hero’s and I wish I didn’t have autism so I could join the military I have wanted to all my life but I can’t. It makes me mad when I’m working and a veteran or a soldier asks if we do military discounts (we do) other people get all mad and say “why do they get a discount and I don’t I’m a single parent (no joke people say this shit)” and our government just sees them as numbers. When they do that I just say to them “what is wrong with you they fought for our country so you didn’t have to” makes me mad how they do this to our boys.
@@seanbarrio_s I think there's a "Tomb of the unknown soldier" in every country that fought, I've seen the on in Westminster Abbey, and it is honestly a very humbling experience

What a badass and beautiful tribute to the Harlem Hellfighters a extremely under appreciated battalion of African American soldiers and all others who fought in the trenches.
Ron Royce One solider called Henry Johnson killed five Germans and scared off as many as 30 Germans while under fire and wounded many times but didn't receive any recognition or rewards or even financial support after the war. He was only rewarded 73 years after his death in around 1920. And I bet money you never ever learned anything about the Harlem hellfigthers in school so you tell me if they were under appreciated.
Ever heard about Garret Morgan? He invented the stoplight and the fire retardant mask saving countless lives in the same decade. Guess who wins the Nobel Prize? A white man who invented poisonous gas. And many soldiers did not receive financial support, the Harlem Hellfighters were volunteers and heroes. My great great grandfather fought for France in the battle of Verdun, the only thing he received was his wife that he had not been in contact with for years because France censored letters home that told the truth.
I think you might be confused I'm saying they were unappreciated by their government not their fellow soldiers hell even by their enemies that gave them that badass name but hey maybe I'm the one confused but all I know is this men should have got some damn medals from the American Army not the French Army.. Also I'm very sorry your grandfather had to go through that hell on earth Ils n'ont pas passé
The intro is chilling to the bone. That Dice had the balls to show us a fraction of a percent of how this fucking war was , is something we don't give them to much credit for. Scary
When the two soldiers lowered their guns was nothing short of good writing. They are both exhausted , fatigued and literally surrounded by the bodies of their fallen comrades. And neither of them wishes to further add to the death and destruction that has already taken place.
I don't think I've ever seen a better intro to a video game. One about a war that probably most young gamers had never heard of before. And it really was a "A war to end all wars" that ended nothing and yet set the stage for the most important war of modern times and the reason for the current state of affairs.
This cutscene my knowledge and attitude towards war. From “ya wars cool, it would be fun to be in one” to “it’s just an endless battle with the only outcome being death and suffering, no one good or bad should experience it”
This is an amazing intro. Just the first minuet shows everything about war and how it truly is, with no glory or greatness, and just bloodshed and death.
I can tell that these 2 soldiers had enough fighting in the war, they wanted to end it for causing a lot bad habits, but not just that. The pain of their main on the fronts of death, killing and following what needs to he done. But these 2 when I see the look in their eyes it mean they don't wanna fight no more. They just wanna go home and enjoy their family.
As came back and rewatched this after seeing battlefield 5s story I really feel like this game had much more respect for its topic and was as serious as it needed to be
“The soldier's minute: in a battle, that's all you get. One minute of everything at once. And anything before is nothing. Everything after: nothing. Nothing in comparison to that one minute.”
Those two soldiers... At first, their defensive instincts took over, and they raised their sights against another. But then, they continue to ponder among all their fallen comrades around each other. Everyone when they fought with, and everyone they killed. Most importantly, they looked into each other's eyes. They saw through the dogma of mankind's wrath. They asked themselves the existential question of the nature of consciousness: Is this what life is about? Is this why we live? We are both people. We don't have to fight... They don't have to fight... At the end of the day, it all comes down to poor decisions made my nations and its leaders to justify sending masses to the front lines against your fellow man, to settle petty differences and express the arrogance of supremacy. Those two soldiers, regardless of the endless scenarios in their mind or their future endeavors, in that moment, they defied the very nature of existence. They decided what only the wisest and the strongest are able to discern: We will not destroy ourselves. How long is it gonna take for the rest of humanity to get the goddamn message? I challenge you, mankind. Become greater, stronger, smarter. Don't cower to the vices of greed and power. Dare to defy.
for a Battlefield game, BF1 has the best writing Battlefield 3 is a close second, in my opinion. well, both of those statements are technically my opinion, but, I dunno
This intro makes me sad everytime, some of the people who died weren't even 18, and that shows that wars like this are horrible for our world because the deaths are always in the millions.
2:10 is accurate for the Russia - Ukraine situation right now. People want to make war, and the simple people are the one who pay the price, Not even knowing why.
One is afraid that the other will be killed and the other well it's the same they both want to live so no shit they are going to fight until the other is dead
“They push, we push... every once in a while, we push hard enough that the light breaks through the clouds, so the world beyond the war glimmers, just out of reach.”
God knows much about war. That is why he assisted the Hebrews in the Old Testament during wartime, and brought destruction upon their enemies. I like to think he sent Christ down as an antithesis to war, someone who would preach nonviolence.
Decided to read up about this game on Wikipedia, and I have a feeling that this game could be a pretty powerful teaching/learning tool about World War I if used right.
It's such a real intro! Those people, those soldier endured so much. Just because some country wanted control, or a meaning, a fight! All soldiers are human, all humans can be tainted, killed, and manipulated. But all humans have a soul. And war can never tear the soul out of the human.
When I played this I kept dying and it showed the person birth date and death date and name and it made me realize that real people fought this war, millions died. That’s sad
Play this with Sabaton's "Sarajevo", and "Versailles" over it. Chills. Edit: Start Sarejevo as this starts, and the chorus lines up perfectly with the quotes
I love how BF5 and BF1 have such powerful intros like it shows they did respect these conflicts and aren’t like cod vanguard which is like “alright guys grab ur neon deluxe Godzilla mg 42s we are about to land”
This is literally my favorite intro to any video game
We totally agree with you bro. It's the best opening for a fps of 2016, hands down.
It's up there along with fallout new vegas and mgs v
Same, it really shows that video games are a form of art.

I remember when I got this game and saw that intro I was overwhelmed by the beautiful graphics, song and the fighting.

honestly don't know what's better out of this or the COD MW2 intro
One of the greatest opening's of all time
the intro is like a modernized version of the Normandy beach scene in spr

But all humans have a soul.
And war can never tear the soul out of the human.
