There are two different genres which Battlefield 1 would come under as it says in The Guardian the first is a military shooter this is because the game is set within World War One they said that it was a ‘new idea’ making it stand out to the gaming community. Because you are able to play online with other players from around the world it also makes it an online multiplayer game meaning that people can play with their friends as well as people from around the world.

This news report says that they had inspiration from Star Wars: Battlefront which was released a year by the same gaming developers DICE and EA.  Because of this they said that the game is for an audience who like First Person Shooters (FPS), as well as action games that would have a good narrative/storyline to the game. Because every game needs a rating the article stated that the game has a PEGI rating of 18 because it is for ‘mature audiences’ because of this people over the age of 18 are only allowed to purchase this game.

This article states that this game is set within World War One and has six different real war storylines. This would mean that you would play the story with different characters during different stories meaning that it would make the game feel more real as if you were getting a connection between you and the characters. Due to the fact that the story is within battlefields it would mean that you get to play within tank regiments as well as play as heroes in the war. There are many different characters in the game which are all from different countries and armed forces for example it says that you can play as the Australian Special Forces, British Tank Regiment, and the Italian Arditi there is a uniqueness to this story line because it allows you to be on both sides of the war the side which is losing and the side which is winning meaning that you also play as the Germans in the war.

In the articles it says that there is tank combat, as well as dog fights within trenches, plane combat, and horse combat. All the vehicles are controlled by the person playing the game. As well as this it also says that the multiplayer maps are large and games are able to last up to an hour long. When you play the multiplayer you get to choose what solider class you would like to play as for example there are four they are the following; Assault this is when you use a SMG, Medic when you use a rifle, Support when you use a heavy machine gun, and Scout which you use when you want to be a sniper.

This Guardian reviews is positive and doesn’t stand on just one view that the game is good but also the fact that the game also has some negative factors to the game. One example would be spawning in front of tanks during online games, when you want to be out the way when you spawn in.
