History Awesome / Battlefield1

* Blackburn, despite all his misadventures [[spoiler:and (possible) lies]] manage to escape court-martial at the last minute.

** The openning cutscene can be one of the most realistic protrayals of WW1.. Just utter chaos and bloodshed everywhere you look.

** The openning cutscene can be one of the most realistic protrayals of WW1.. Just men turned into animals, using anything they can use.

** The openning cutscene can be one of the most realistic protrayals of WW1.. Just chaos all around you.

** The last mission of the war story. ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis All. Of. It.]]'' Flying up to defend London against a swarm of bombers and fighters, then taking on a massive zeppelin. Crashing and boarding said zeppelin, taking over its anti-aircraft gun to take out ''another'' zeppelin ''while your co-pilot is having a fist fight right in front of you with the guy who was manning it originally''. Then the enemy zep crashes into yours, and the three of you OutrunTheFireball to escape. While all this is going on, the British and German airforces are engaged in a massive dogfight all around you. ''[[{{HSQ}} Holy shit!]]''

* The trailer for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msXl2ZybwTk They Shall Not Pass]] really encompasses the desperate struggle and sacrifices made at the Battle of Verdun. If anything can begin to subvert the CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkey stereotype, this will, with the French Army looking incredibly badass as they push back the Germans. [[ShurFineGuns Even if more than two characters are wielding the Chauchat]].

* Managing to acquire The Peacekeeper revolver, a secret easter egg revolver which can only be acquired by completing a very long series of easter eggs. The gun itself is very deadly in close quarters, and the animations are over the top, with gunslinging that’d make [[{{Metal Gear Solid}} Revolver Ocelot]] say “You’re pretty good.”

* The fact that bolt-action rifles, the ''real'' primary weapons of the war and often treated as little more than slow-firing sniper rifles by most video games, are realistically presented as lethal, accurate and reliable enough that even with the countless machine guns and prototype firearms lying around, there's always going to be a sizable amount of players running around with bolt-actions and racking up a fair amount of kills. Special mention goes to the SMLE Mk. III, which is both a first-class combat rifle in its own right ''and'' quickly becoming the most beloved bolt-action rifle by many players for its magazine size and firing speed.

** If you are the Assault Class, one of your gadget is an [[{{BFG}} AT Rocket Gun]], it seems to pale in comparison to other anti-tank weapons, until you realize that you can actually use it ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill against infantrymen]]'' like a [[NotTheIntendedUse modern day anti-materiel rifle]]. Nothing is more satisfying than delivering numerous [[OneHitKill One-Hit Kills]] with a {{BFG}}, [[MoodWhiplash Enjoy]] CountingBullets...

** Even cooler, one shot in the trailer shows a German soldier shot dead in the poppy fields of Rupture, but the scene shifts sideways following his falling path and shows the blue sky, the white clouds, and the red poppies forming the ''Tricolore'', the Flag of France. Cool moment of nationalistic imagery indeed.

* First of all, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7nRTF2SowQ reveal trailer]], that made hundreds of Battlefield players who barely knew anything about WorldWarOne rush off to research it, and it's not hard to see why. From the beautiful graphics to the epic shots of tanks rolling through trenches, to biplanes speeding through the desert, to hand-to-hand combat in the middle of No Man's Land, it's a CMOA from start to finish. Oh, and it became [[http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/05/09/battlefield-1-is-the-most-liked-trailer-in-youtube-history-infinite-warfare-the-most-disliked/#1451ab5f35c2 the most liked trailer]] in [=YouTube=] history.

* First, a standing ovation for the fact that the game itself has sparked off a new wave of interest in WorldWarOne from gamers and helped truly show that WorldWarOne-themed video games ''can'' be huge successes.
