How One Trailer Broke the Internet

It took 8 seconds for this trailer to break the internet. Battlefield 1 was the most successful Battlefield game to date, and a large part of its success came down to the reveal trailer.

[@carlh0352]

I mean, it wasn’t actually in-game footage, it was in-game engine footage, which is definitely not the same thing by a long shot. It still looks pretty damn close to the actual game though in this case, so you’re not completely wrong.

By the time it came out in October, a lot of us had permanently gone our separate ways

[@ye_nope]

As someone who played BF1 A LOT: 1. People were mad at COD for releasing another futuristic game in Infinite Warfare, so the World War One setting was a great contrast as a setting. 2. The trailer is really fast and focuses on showcasing the setting and game. It keeps viewer retention and the sound is engaging with the sounds of the game and Seven Nation Army. 3. The game is brutal and that’s showcased in the trailer. People were really tired of clean futuristic games and the shear brutality of bf1 made people want to play it. Overall I love BF1 and it’s what got me into history, which led to my major in college nearly a decade later. Probably my favorite historical game of all time.

Back in the days, most of my friends were COD fans, I remember telling them “ come play BF4 with me “ but they would never. THEN everything changed. BF1 showed up, and for the first time ever, they left COD and bought BF1! They even played the beta! It was just EPIC.

[@PW.6060]

Same here, but I was the one who preferred CoD. At that time, I was still playing the original MW trilogy and WaW. BF1 just looked so good. I got the BF1 edition Xbox One and game. Haven't looked back.

[@SockTheBop]

My single only complaint with BF1 is that it doesn’t have a single extensive campaign. I understand the meaning of the multiple different stories, but I do wish we could have had something a bit longer

[@pretzelbomb6105]

Agreed. BF1’s greatest weakness is its campaign. Those War Stories, as beautifully done and varied as they are, still make it clear that the campaign’s main purpose is to prepare you for multiplayer. It definitely feels like the Operations mode was designed to be the game’s actual “campaign” mode. Also: BF1 is in my top three favorite games ever played, but I still remember the disappointment I felt when I finished the campaign and found out there was no Central Powers perspective. Maybe my thoughts on Operations have just been skewed then since the Germans, Austro-Hungarians, and Ottomans get plenty of love in the intros to those. Either way, it seemed like a major instance of WW2-game traditions of good guy side/bad guy side leaking into a game about WW1, a war which has those on little more than a technicality.

[@estebanatachaoarguedas6321]

​@@pretzelbomb6105 To be fair the amount of voice acting in multiplayer is kinda the equivalent of the effort they could have put in a campaign.

To be fair, BF1’s campaign is the best BF campaign ever. Although that says more about how bad BF campaigns usually are than how good BF1’s campaign is. Still that first mission was epic and really captured the bleak and brutal feel of WWI combat.

[@tyleryoung306]

Honestly, BFV was a really great game. The advanced omnidirectional physics that only now COD is replicating with Black Ops 6 was so good. It felt amazing to play. I really enjoyed playing campaigns that I hadn't played before like the maps in Greece, France, and Tunisia. I get that the US market wasn't that interested until the Pacific content dropped, but it was still incredibly fun. The squad call ins were great and rewarded working as a squad, and also gave you a chance to take a flag or breakthrough in the final moments with the smoke screens, mortar strikes, or V1 Rockets. As buggy as it was, it was incredibly detailed and visually stunning. I also loved being able to customize your soldier. All in all, I do think the game got a lot of undeserved flack at a time when it was "cool" to complain about women being in the game or the prosthetics (despite the prosthetics being historically accurate). It also didn't really have the same excitement/immersion/chaos that BF1 had, which I think behemoths contributed a lot too. And they really did Grand Operations dirty... they should have built on that, and made it even better with BFV. Really wish they gave it more development time, rather than release it in such short time after Battlefront 2.

[@Fridgemasters]

BF1’s success was something that I remember pulling so many CoD fans (me included) to get the game. The issue with CoD is that every 3-4 years there needs to be some semblance of a change of setting/era. Nowadays, if you asked the average CoD fan if they would want a WW2 CoD game, they would probably say no. But if you asked the average CoD fan back in 2016 if they wanted a WW2 game, they would say hell fucking yes. This is because CoD was stuck in the future for like 4 years. BF1 taking that need for an old, boots on the ground world war game and taking it to WW1, a barely explored era, was what pulled so many people in. Frankly, I’d go as far as to say that the game heavily increased the interest in what was seen as a long forgotten era. It did such an incredible job at painting war itself in such a gritty, horrific manner that hadn’t really been portrayed in a mainline AAA shooter since CoD: WAW. Battlefield 1 was the first and only game I ever preordered and I do not regret it. The game is nothing but a work of art and I will always remember it fondly.

[@athingwhichexists]

Part of me wonder's if we will ever see anything like BF1 again: A game that respected the era it was set in, chose an era that had largely been ignored by the industry, depicted it so viscerally and immersively without sacrificing gameplay, Brought in millions of players all together enjoying the same thing for 3 whole years, Complete with AAA level graphics, destructible terrain, terrain altering player controlled events, full combined arms combat, and a clear and noticeable enthusiasm from the developers, singleplayer available, the ability for players to host their own servers so the game could live on past developer support, and not be a live service game chock full of microtransactions while requiring several DLC just to be playable and was functional with little to no issues at launch. Often BF1 seems like it wasn't just the last great multiplayer shooter, but was also the last of it's era of actually good AAA games that wanted to do new things and push the limits with their big budgets.

Bf1 was literally the most beautiful and jaw dropping game ever to be put out by any game company. No one will ever be able to replicate it. Wich is very sad. I wish i could go back to when many people were playing the game. It was so fun i miss the old times

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

All of BF1's trailers are excellent. The launch trailer is probably my favorite, but Apocalypse's was also incredible even to the others. And all of them are gameplay footage or engine footage with the in-game graphics (though on the highest available settings, they're still on available settings to begin with).

That trailer hooked me up to FPS and Battlefield, still to this day! And the best part was that the game offered all the things showed in the trailer! 💯

[@durfdawg6990]

If only i could feel the pure extacy of reaching 1k subs, I think i would ascend. Congrats dude

[@BrandonGiordano]

Battlefield 1 is still may favorite in the franchise as someone who grew up playing every game since bad company 2. This game captured an atmosphere so perfectly in a way that i havent seen many other games achieve let alone just a BF game

[@dorek9999]

There are people who fell for clever marketing tricks and there was me who waited forever until I see a decent WW1 FPS, and when I saw this trailer at first there was a disbelief and then it was love. I play it to this day

[@foxley95]

BF1 is the only game I didn't regret pre ordering

[@TaskForceGamingHD]

As a 14 year old when this game came out I hadn’t really heard seven nation army before, and now every time I hear or play that song it reminds me of the trailer. Did such a good job even 8 years later it gives me an itch to play the game.

7:20 It's honestly insane how they didn't pick up on this sooner. COD sniping montages have been doing this since WaW

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

Battlefield 1 is a masterpiece, from the gameplay to the music. It’s the only game that I have an entire playlist dedicated to just the music to listen to. If 2042 was made like 1 was, it would have been a massive success.

[@mr.skully8787]

Back when game devs actually did their job with passion

[@ShowLSWH]

If they re-released this game or updated servers I think it would come roaring back. The immersion of this game was unreal. And it’s sad hopping into games now and finding the lobbies empty.

[@gmailalt6928]

Immersion 😂 it’s cartoonish as hell

[@kennylemley7081]

Funny how I just rewatched the actually trailer and this comes ups in my recommendations 😂

[@farhanpramudita9601]

the only game that match the trailer whenever you play operations and finally occupied a sector

[@Hugo-ux2rf]

The most impressive thing is that a random game of Operations is somehow more cinematic than the trailer

[@smasherrr07]

The trailer puts a tear in my eye. It's shivering.

[@cocorambo9587]

I still play bf1 instead of any newer bf or cod games or any other fps games. Bf1 is absolutely beautiful, top-tier fps games ever made. Brings memories and dunno. It's freaking amazing.

[@laruegaming9989]

bf1 reveal trailer still give me goosebumps

[@ethanlane9873]

Is that Sly Cooper heard at 4:17 ????? 🦝🦯

[@Aeghf]

This was my childhood milestone for games. Everyone before had WoW, Halo Combat Evolve, etc. But this. Seeing this as a kid gave me absolute chills. Sad to see the BF franchise dwindle. But it gave hours and hours of fun.

[@prestigehunter9729]

Music is indeed important for a trailer. I lost count of how many times I saw Zhongli’s trailer.

[@themightyironoak]

Battlefield 1 and Helldivers 2 trailers are absolutely insane. Best gaming trailers of all time

[@saintstriker5292]

very good video, thought you had more sub's tbh you're underrated, deserves a sub

[@redf0xzer085]

I usually dont spend the time giving out subs, but he definitely deserves all the subs he can get, thanks for getting my attention on it

[@thecosmonaut4221]

You just had to be there to truly experience the bf1 hype train

[@gabrielpetersen8528]

A fully loaded tank in bf1 absolutely tearing through the lines bring death and destruction while one lone hero picks up the anti tank rifle kit and does his bit by punching holes into the demons one by one while running and gunning in order to avoid counter sniper fire. I swear, this game offered so many moments that made you feel like a war hero. Such a great game. And that kill sound was orgasmic.

[@mikoto7693]

Fascinating. I knew there is manipulation in everything but sometimes it surprises me just how deep it goes.

[@SoupSultan]

It kills me that they didn’t just recreate BF1 but WW2 for BFV. It would’ve been so fucking good.

[@ericschneider7174]

that Bf1 trailer really hit different. I had goosebumps the whole time.
