![]() One base has a small tank in the middle with a pilot ready to hop in at a moment’s notice. Similarly, in the final Arabian missions, one tasks you with taking out three outposts in the desert, which you can do in any order. Both are fun, both are productive, just do what feels right. In the beginning of The Runner, for instance, you can creep through a town to make you way from point A to point B, or you can literally sprint with a shotgun, too swift to ever really be pinned down by any enemies. Many of these missions sort of leave it up to you as to how you want to take them on. Patience is a virtue in many games, but especially here. It may not be very heroic, but it will keep you alive and it’s better than having to re-kill the last 20 soldiers you took down just because you thought you’d take on a flamethrower with 15 health left. Many of these missions let you use stealth for at least a while, so take advantage of that whenever possible. Focus on killing enemies one or two at a time rather than going full Rambo. What that means is that you have to be even more careful than you would otherwise about making progress. The game often goes for very, very long stretches of time without giving you checkpoints, unlike say, Call of Duty where every 10 feet will grant you a new respawn. The difficulty curve of the Battlefield 1 campaign is all over the place, but the best advice I can give you is that slow and steady wins the race here. ![]() And without saying anything about the story specifically, the way this tale plays out is the best note to end on, in my opinion, even if it lacks a thunderous boss battle like the war train. War Story #4 – The Runner – Parts of these missions are hard, including a portion where you essentially have to take over an entire enemy fort single-handedly. I almost put this last because of how much I like the ending, but I think that honor goes to… War Story #2 – Friends in High Places – Narratively, these pilot missions might be my favorite collection of the bunch, and this is a pretty decently long stretch of assignments. War Story #5 – Nothing is Written – I feel like this one was saved for “last” because of its connection to Lawrence of Arabia and its use of the armored train as a boss, but it’s pretty short and not all that difficult, so I’m slotting it in earlier. ![]()
