There are six War Stories available at the start, most featuring two to five missions which focus on different characters and fronts from the 1914-18 war. Rather than one long, globe-trotting odyssey, Battlefield 1 finds rhythm with a multi-part narrative. After the technical disasters that befell Battlefield 4, it is a relief to report that, well, Battlefield 1 actually works. The newly invigorated multiplayer warfare adds the final flourish. Battlefield 1 discovers compelling and poignant stories, effective ways to tell them, and a campaign structure that should inspire any shooter after it. By jumping back to the first world war, developer EA Dice has not only discovered fresh game design ideas through the antiquated weaponry, it has also ensured that its game stands apart from other shooters, which have dominated disc-trays for the past 10 years. B attlefield 1 is a tectonic shift for the military shooter genre.
