The BF4 campaign was great, I don't know what you're talking about. Not as good as BF3, admittedly, but still up there. Arguably I think they went more in the direction of COD SP with the ridiculous set pieces in BF4 and that is why it wasn't as good as BF3.Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4 (Campaign). Grade C (average).
It is said that you should not buy a Battlefield game for its single player campaign, the best stuff is in the muliplayer mode. This is indeed true. DO NOT BUY EITHER OF THESE BF GAMES FOR THE SP CAMPAIGN! They suck. Look great, though.
Battlefield 1 is supposed to be better than 4. Okay, slightly better, but not much. Game is still too dark. Lots of dumb design decisions, like telling the player to use binoculars WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY! I do like that in BF1 they have an onscreen icon showing if you are crouched or prone, 4 did not have that. Story is slightly better in 1. 4 had a bunch of clipping issues, 1 seemed to fix that. Both are very short games. I did like 4 better for showing the player weapon stats. Despite fond memories of Call of Duty Modern Warfare and COD2, BF games are not even close in terms of quality for the SP mode.
If all this sounds bad, let's save the best for last. Even in 2021, the Frostbite engine that runs the BF games is amazing. Graphics are terrific and framerates are high. A+ for looks. Sound effects also excellent. Playing on the PC it blows away the consoles, even if you have an older GPU like a 1050 ti. If someone at Dice/EA ever decides to really push hard for a SP mode with quality of the classic COD games then that will be fantastic for gamers. Until then, buyer beware, not intended for SP.
