Battlefield 1

Publisher: Electronic Arts

From our Battlefield 1 review:

'There’s no question that Battlefield 1 is the change in direction the series needed. It’s certainly a far better fit than the fetishisation of a militarised police force seen in Hardline. It also does justice to both the scale and intensity of the 20th century’s most mourned conflict, albeit perhaps not the human horror of it (pigeon hot-potato, anyone?). It isn’t a revolution for the series, but the improved single-player and back-to-good multiplayer make it the best Battlefield since 3, and well worth a look if you’ve written the series off.

We use the DirectX 12 API and the game's 'Ultra' preset. We benchmark a section of the single-player campaign as this is the most repeatable and reliable means, though we've chosen a part that we found to be representative of the more demanding areas. Specifically, it's a manual, 30-second run through the start of the mission 'The Runner'.
