As much as EA deserves criticism for its many blunders, they make some really fun, addicting shooters. BF1 was one of my favorite games last year, and I stuck with it for a while thanks to its spectacle and relative simplicity. Super stoked to see if DICE actually improves on Battlefront this year, as I still feel like the core of the first game was very fun, even if the package was light on features and depth. Lot of room to grow this time.
I liked Battlefield 1, I've stopped playing as I had other things to play but will go back soon a bit, before Tekken comes out. However, one of their updates added some odd things to the game which affected the gameplay, blood splatter, lighting effect and such alike meaning the experience was different and affected my enjoyment. Wish these companies wouldn't change things like that, there's nothing wrong with it. BO3 changed once where the lighting on one map completely changed, it was weird and I saw no reason to change it.
bf1 is a really great game the operations are amazing, im playing it on x1 and the graphics are really nice!
