Battlefield 1

Like most of the main games in the series it combines a single-player campaign with an extensive amount of multiplayer modes.

The campaign consists of six large missions, dubbed War Stories, each with a different protagonist, a different setting and distinct gameplay elements.

The prologue "Storm of Steel" is experienced through the eyes of several Harlem Hellfighters in France and "Through Mud and Blood" is about controlling a tank in France as a British driver. "Friends in High Places" takes it to the skies in France and England as a fighter pilot for the Royal Flying Corp and in "Avanti Savoia" you are a member of the Arditi in Italy.

In "The Runner" you are an ANZAC runner in Turkey and the final story "Nothing is Written" is about controlling a Bedouin warrior commanded by Lawrence of Arabia in Mesopotamia.

Each story has a different approach and offers specific vehicles, weapons or play styles.

Multiplayer usually supports 24, 32 or 64 players on a single map depending on the game mode and most of these are based on the settings of the single-player War Stories.

The game was launched with nine multiplayer maps: Amiens, Argonne Forest, Ballroom Blitz, Empire's Edge, Fao Fortress, Monte Grappa, Sinai Desert, St.

Quentin Scar, and Suez.

There are seven game modes: Air Superiority, Conquest, Domination, Operations, Rush, Team Deathmatch, and War Pigeons.
