Battlefield 1 doesn't feature a single, continuous storyline with one central protagonist. Instead, its single-player campaign, titled "War Stories," is an anthology of five distinct and self-contained narratives that focus on different individuals and their experiences during World War I across various theaters of the conflict.
Here's a breakdown of the "War Stories" in Battlefield 1:
Storm of Steel (Prologue): This introductory mission puts you in the boots of various soldiers of the Harlem Hellfighters as they desperately try to defend their position against a massive German offensive in France during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in 1918. It highlights the brutal and often futile nature of trench warfare and serves as a grim introduction to the Great War.
Through Mud and Blood: Set during the Battle of Cambrai in 1917, this story follows Daniel Edwards, a young and inexperienced British chauffeur who becomes the driver of a Mark V tank named "Black Bess." The narrative focuses on the challenges faced by the tank crew as they push through enemy lines and Daniel's struggle to earn the respect of his fellow crew members.
Friends in High Places: This story puts you in the role of Clyde Blackburn, a roguish American pilot in the British Royal Flying Corps during 1917-1918. It involves thrilling dogfights over the Western Front, daring missions, and a tale of friendship amidst the chaos of aerial warfare.
Avanti Savoia: Taking place in the Italian Alps during 1915-1918, this story centers on Luca Vincenzo Cocchiola, an Italian Arditi soldier who participates in the arduous mountain battles against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It emphasizes the brutal conditions and the desperate fighting in this often-overlooked front.
The Runner: Set during the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915, this story follows Frederick Bishop, an ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) runner tasked with delivering vital messages across the dangerous battlefield. It depicts the intense bombardments, beach landings, and the challenges of communication under heavy fire.
Nothing is Written: Located in the deserts of the Middle East during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire (1917-1918), this story puts you in the shoes of Zara Ghufran, a Bedouin warrior fighting alongside Lawrence of Arabia. It involves guerrilla warfare, sabotage missions, and confronting a technologically superior enemy.
Key aspects of the Battlefield 1 "War Stories":
Anthology Format: Each story is independent with its own characters, setting, and plot, offering diverse perspectives on World War I.
Focus on Individual Experiences: The stories emphasize the personal struggles, heroism, and tragedies of ordinary soldiers caught in the global conflict, rather than grand historical narratives.
Variety of Gameplay: Each "War Story" offers different gameplay experiences, including tank warfare, aerial combat, infantry assaults, stealth, and more.
Emotional Tone: The narratives often explore themes of loss, camaraderie, the horrors of war, and the resilience of the human spirit.
While there isn't a single overarching plot, the "War Stories" collectively aim to provide a more intimate and varied portrayal of World War I than traditional historical accounts, highlighting the human cost and the diverse experiences of those who fought in it.
