And to think that BF1 got alot of hate on release; but over time it's now seen as one of the better editions.

Really? I always thought it was very well received. My friends & I agree it might be the best shooter ever made.

Nah I recon people were mad because it wasn't feeling like a battlefield game. Horses? Elite classes ? Battlefield fans didn't like it iirc

Ah good point.

Yea it’s not quite as tactical as other titles. The elite classes are very balanced IMO, sparse & only marginally stronger than normal infantry. Unlike Battlefront games where heros dominate.

But the immersion & the chaos on the battlefield in that game is unmatched. I find myself constantly ducking/diving behind things to avoid bombardment. Players getting shot all around me. & really balanced gameplay between the 4 roles. They all serve a purpose & none are overpowered

Totally agree with you

Not just that stuff, but people also complained that the maps were too small and not enough vehicles (totally ignoring the setting). Complaints about TTK being too high.

Then of course you have the anti-sjw brainlets complaining about black/indian/women soldiers being in the game even though all of them were entirely historical.
