Battlefield 1 'What a wonderful World'

The last true Battlefield.

Back when medics actually tossed medkits and revived, supports tossed ammo and gave suppresing fire, assaults went full on with AT weapons and grenades, and the scouts gave us spidey-sense.

I love the chaotic aura that surrounds this song in the right context like this

[Clydemere]

“They’re really saying, I love you” as someone is getting stabbed in the neck

*Battlefield 1 is based upon events that unfolded over one hundred years ago.*

*More than 60 million soldiers fought in "The War to End All Wars".*

*It ended nothing.*

*Yet it changed the world forever.*

*What follows is frontline combat.*

*You are not expected to survive.*

1:43 *Tank explodes and soldiers burning*

"What a wonderful world"

My mom came in saying "wow you stop playing those violent video games"

Me: yeah....

[isaaccole]

I hear babies crying…
*gunfire intensifies*

What Louis Armstrong is trying to say is “look at what a wonderful world we have if we only gave it a chance”

[TreacherousFennec]

Its shocking how creative and smart we get when it comes to destroying each other.

[MiguelMitchelMichiel]

What I loved about the BF1 (and BF5) campaigns is how well they mix an entertaining game with the fact that war is hell. Makes me feel thankful and privileged for sitting behind a screen with countless of games to play, while these men fought for their life and country.

I saw trees of green
But not anymore
That crater once
Was a house with a door
And I think to my self
This is Battlefield 1

This is not my doing, I just think it is very creative, and wanted to share it. For those of you who know where this has come from and who made it, just note I’m trying to bring that same smile you had to others.

"I see trees of green"


**shows a scene of a monochrome and dead battlefield**

Battlefield 1 was one of the greatest games I've experienced. Really showed the brutality of World War 1, although maybe not accurate, certainly felt immersive as hell. I hope the next Battlefield and Arma can pull this amount of immersion I got from BF1

Edit: this aged like milk

[calebharris]

“I see trees of green
*We see dead trees*

“Red roses too”
*we see a splash of red blood as someone his hit*

“I see them bloom”
*we see multiple explosions “blooming” behind the soldiers”

“For me and you”
*we see to soldiers desperately fighting*

Man, the lyrics fit so well

[carlsjolund]

While there were many problems I had with many of the campaigns; I adore the first sequence. It’s so hard to even fathom the insurmountable hopelessness that ww1 entailed, particularly when it comes to the trenches of the western front.
While bf 1’s opening doesn’t even come close to accurately depicting the brutality and gore of the conflict it does give a sense of how worthless it was. You take the place of someone, a person with a name, who goes to die. And after that you go to the next, repeat... it’s a clear but not disrespectful way of showing the player that these people where effectively sent to the slaughterhouses.

[auberginereverie]

I see trees *are dead*
Red *bloods* too
I see them *boom*
For me and *Fritz*
And I think to myself
*What a wonderful world*

I see skies so blue
And clouds so white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
*What a wonderful world*

The *Zeppelins falling down*
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people *passing away*

I see friends *getting shot*
Saying *I got killed*
They're really saying
I *killed* you
I hear *the Max firing*
I watch *people die*
They'll *die much more*
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
*What a wonderful world*
Yes, I think to myself
*What a wonderful world*

My friend: Think of it in a good perspective way

Edit: everyone please be civilised for once and stop fighting in the comments, there's been a lot of name-calling down there
