This is realistic but very disturbing...

So this is Battlefield 1 gameplay, the REAL LIFE perspective of how such "rush" and offensives in general would usually end up.
What do you think?

"That's it, thank you for serving." Is actually an extremely chilling sentence.

" To artillery, all men are equal " Napoléon

[diooverheaven]

Fun fact: soldiers using mp18 would hold magazine from the bottom as it supposedly was more comfortable and when crouching you could put your elbow on the knee for more stability

BF1 with no HUD was one of the most beautifully terrifying experiences I’ve ever had in a video game. Man I miss the times when AAA games had heart.

[TarsonTalon]

This is why in real war, 90% of it is camping.

[zilowa]

Battlefield 1 without hud is the most scary thing in the game history. No horror game can reach to that level. Because whenever you try it, you will never know who is friend or foe

[andreacasazza]

That's the sad reality of war. Milions of people thrown in the middle of a battlefield.

Battlefield itself is very immersive and helps us to understand (edit) a little bit



EDIT:

YES I KNOW, war in not a game
YES I KNOW, we have to understand the differences
Thank you. to all the "professors" that reminded me that in games you don't die for real, i didn't know, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[Rayfireful]

I honestly dig if there's a mode like this, no HUD, no minimap, no kill feed, just you and your squad, trying to do your objective while in constant alert, perhaps resulting in more team work

[swojal]

As incredibly unrealistic as battlefield games are, this guy has a pretty good point

[AcuraAddicted]

I find the fact that the guy in front of you was carrying crutches, hillarious.

"You are excited!"

Said no soldier ever going into war

[treyjohannes]

As a veteran of this century, we don't just rush out into the open, like in the previous war's. Everything is strategized, you would usually go prone. For example a sand hill peak in the video, the only reason to rush into the open is if you had no other option or if rare (a commanded order, which is unrealistic) or if it was a ambush.

[ChclateChimp]

"THAT'S IT! Thank you for serving" is such a haunting line. Remember that the government sees their troops as statistics instead of people. If you die in the line of duty no one would care outside of your loved ones. You are expendable in the governments' eye.

[kyousey]

Let us not forget those who trained for days, weeks and months. Hoping they could make a change, only to die in the first hour of the war.

Any war have similar perspective.
- Be just a typical farmguy. Great war started so huge hands of draft takes You to trenches. You fix bayonet and await for whistle. You get up and charge with dozens of people. MG mows Your stomach and legs. Your last minutes are filled with agonizing pain.
- Be a citizen of freshly regained independence country after 123 years of occupation. After one year You had to defend Your country because communists wanted to force their way of life outside their country - on bayonets of course. Also after 20 years they made a pact with another country and both invaded You again. You die under occupation because unfortunetly You weren't "okay" with occupiers so they shot You and Your body lie buried somewhere in the forest.
- Be one of the best trained soldier, freshly finished West Point. USA planned a big landing operation. You and Your pals are on one barge. Just before touching the sand You got hit from howitzer and whole barge exploded. Your skills and training wasted. At least Your death was quick.
- Be a normal man, trying to work and live as best as You can. Unfortunetly some ex-KGB asshole wanted to be a new tzar and decided to invade You country. You didn't even had any chance because rocket blasted Your home with Your family. You thought we are too modern for wars? Unfortunetly You was wrong.
What is in common? War is a waste of human life and it is one of the worst invention humanity ever made.

[ballsackfart]

Playing games like battle feild and hll really put into perspective just how little those who die get to participate, it mostly happens when you least expect it

[vallo]

I’m a seasoned BF1 player but I’m confounded by the “artillery” death. Never seen that before, can someone explain? Usually it’s a mortar, vehicle, or behemoth on suez but it looked like a Bad company 2 scout artillery gadget

[smrzgk]

"thank you for serving"

Wait I cant respawn??

[SirPlusOfCamelot]

One of my biggest fears as a soldier is dying before I could kill anyone.

[Czarewich]

The majority of casualties in industrial warfare come from artillery and aerial bombardments. In both world wars, supposedly the majority of soldiers didn't shoot to kill, and often even faked shooting at enemies.
