It's our kind of battlefield
The fifteenth entry in series, and the fifth in the main series after Battlefield 4 really captures the image of WWI for the most part. It thankfully came out during a time when futuristic video games became kinda too prevalent, so it was really nice to have one about the First World War, especially considering that it's a really overlooked conflict when it comes to video games. But unfortunately that was during the worst time of the worst year ever.
Whatever. With a bunch of interesting storylines from different characters and their countries, well-executed violence and stealth, amazing weapon selection (including weapons that were rarely seen or used in WWI), awesome visuals and strong attention to details in the maps, outstanding take on the maps, taking part of armies, both within the Entente and Central Powers, this game is one for all fans out there. You even get to ride on horses like western-era cowboys and natives for the first time in the Battlefield franchise!
While some of the "diverse" cast in MP can be pretty eye-cutting, some of them actually make sense and add variety, representing some of the unknown parts of some armies from WW1. Such as Russian Imperial/White Army Scout who represents a Russian Women's Battalion and British Scout from "Turning Tides" DLC maps who represents a New Zealand Māori Battalion. The questionable design choices for some of the MP characters (like afore mentioned black German Cavalry and Scout inclusions) and female Russian trooper from the all-female battalion from "In The Name of the Tzar" DLC being heavily highlighted can be seen as a telltale sign of DICE's high pandering to SJWs. Speaking of, the DLC "In The Name of The Tzar" also has maps that take place during the Russian Civil War and put the White Army against the Red Army, which is a good thing, since the Russian Civil War is also a heavily ignored conflict in the video game history. Despite the fact that France played one of the biggest roles in the conflict, it didn't receive any recognition in the game until the arrival of "They Shall Not Pass" DLC. And the last major DLC, "Apocalypse", was a major letdown and a massive waste of potential.
Although this is an awesome game, it does has its fair share of errors. In fact it has a lot of errors and inaccuracies like the use of late-war/experimental weapons, incorrect uniforms, presence of parachutes, German Cavalry and Scout classes being Africans, and other things that can somewhat break the immersion of the WWI setting the game takes place in. Though some of these can be excused if considering that they could be done for the sake of gameplay. It also feels like a watered-down experience for veteran fans of Battlefield, with simplified gunplay and teamwork mechanics compared to past installments. Even the time gap between the DLCs, "They Shall Not Pass" and "In The Name of The Tzar" was criticised for being too long, thanks to the fact DICE was working on the infamous Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
The Assault class was deemed overpowered, as the class was given the Hellriegel M1915, an experimental weapon that not seen combat in WWI. It's infamous in-game for having a fast time to kill and high magazine capacity. Because of this weapon prevalence, a balance update was made in February 2018 boosted the time to kill of other weapons so other weapons can compete with the Hellriegel.
