Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also LOVE that both sides are portrayed through their perspective in the preround and intermissions instead of strictly through a "good" and "bad" team lens (this only applies to multiplayer I have to add, War stories aka Singleplayer campaigns are Entente-sided, but credit where credit is due to the war stories that portray a good story and play well).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sheer level of dedication that the game got is something that we just don't see today, just awesome gameplay, interesting campaign, great maps, an incredibly immersive experience, an epic soundtrack and just overall fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The destruction physics, mud sticking to your gun's bolt, realistic lighting, and smooth optimization make it a technical miracle.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s very well made and definitely has that addictive Battlefield gameplay loop.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is also one of the best I've heard in a game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s even faster if you know someone who already has all the weapons and is willing to help you boost it.
