![]() With modern and future-set shooters dominating the market, the Battlefield series losing some its luster over some negative buzz on its last two releases, and a lack of period-set "triple-A" games on current-generation consoles, EA and DICE made the brilliantly timed move to unveil Battlefield 1 - its title reflective of its World War I setting. It didn't take long for a sequel to rush out the gates in Battlefield 4 which suffered from stability issues at launch, and even less time for EA to assign another developer in Visceral Games to rush out a forgettable spinoff in Battlefield: Hardline. The franchise was never really gone, but BF3 served as a semi-relaunch of the core series and an introduction to the impressively upgraded Frostbite game engine. In 2011 Battlefield 3 brought developer DICE's epic multiplayer shooter series back in a big way, quickly becoming the fastest-selling game ever for publisher Electronic Arts. Battlefield 1 is one of the best-looking and most dynamic shooters ever made, and appropriately honors its World War I themes and setting.
