14:18 - goosebumps

That BF1 reference was nice, specially the statue. It gives some continuity to the games. "The Great War ended with a deafening silence. The world moved on. And in the silence, we forgot". Powerful.

I wish the entire campaign was like the prouloge.

2:58 that silence with the piano

8:40 the photograph of a woman and a child.. This pilot had a family..

0:44 goosebumps, my grandma heard that when she was only 4

7:18 "Allied Sniper blatantly breaks the Geneva Convention, Algeria 1942. Colorized."

14:12 that must've hurt real much.

Its sad cause this game really did have alot of potential.

if they wanted to include women in the game why cant they present the soviet union or french resistance fighters or even polish home army

Say what you will about BF, but at least they know how to load a Sniper Rifle correctly and without a Stripper clip. *Stares at COD WW2*

1:08 "this country is at war with Germany" chills

“Within each of us lies the seeds to an undefined greatness” Thanks for that. I needed that.

2:40 Aurora borealis? At this time of year, _at this part of day,_ *at this part of the country,* *`localized entirely within this battlefield?`*

Sure BFV had it's issues, but can we all appreciate how at 11:52, when the tank fires the dudes clothes react to the force of the explosion? Hell of an attention to detail, and this prologue is beautiful. So excited for 6

14:30 to end should of been the trailer.

This is all going to be ruined when you see 5 dudes t-bagging on top of a tank in multiplayer lol

Man, this is like time travel, we have tigers in 1941, stens in 1940...

13:12 - Goosebumps, the slowmo while narrating, seconds before death and yet fighting.

06:21 .. the Battlefield Theme made this moment so unbelievably epic. Was a great feeling to play it.

08:35 No one realises that these men fought to defend their families from being bombed

*"My Father asked me if i was truly ready to go to war... he said the good soldier kills without ever thinking of the enemy as a fellow human being...and i was a good soldier...god help me"*

This might’ve - quite possibly - been the best intro I’ve ever seen in any game ever.

14:05 Pfc. Desmond T. Doss has something to say to that.

That statue in the beginning is a reference to storm of steel

"Beginnings. Endings. In between one and the other. Between first, and last. Always searching. Sometimes finding… brothers. Sons and daughters. Mothers and fathers. We have no world without them. And there is no other world."

0:44 Imagine hearing something like this from your prime minister or President. That would be scary ngl.

“Suffering is the same in every language.”

Ahh the scene from BF1 at the beginning and the soundtrack from Apocalypse DLC at 2:15. I love these references from previous game.

Guess everyone just forgot about the eastern front

"The Great War ended in a deafining silence. The world moved on. And in the silence we forgot." That to me is so scary, as we in school are learning less and less about the Great War and WWII, I feel as though we are forgetting again.

My great grandfather fought here. It always makes me tear up looking at this because he lost a lot of friends but always stayed with a smile on his face. I miss him.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. No propaganda, no demonizing one side or the other, just accurate portrayal of the hell that is war.

The music that plays when you become the pilot is epic. You see very few video games that execute musical scores during gameplay, and do it well. Battlefield did very well in that area during this whole video tbh (not just cutscenes but music playing while you're engaging enemies/objectives etc)

2:31 - 3:10. The Music. The Scene. The sound fx. *Goosebumps*

Can we all just agree that the music in this game is amazing?

No swastikas again. And these people blamed Call of Duty...

The intro in my opinion is a masterpiece

The first time I played this I literally just sat there in disbelief at the end of it

The fact that this video doesn't even have 1k dislikes yet really tells you how good the BFV prologue is. Honestly always get goosebumps when i rewatch this beautifully done.

Did I see playing as Germans?! Yes!!!

God the part where you parachute down at 2:33 gives me chills

What Battlefield V could've been...

The battlefield 1 prologue will always be my favorite. When ever I watch it it always sends shivers down my spine, it really shows that although WW2 had more blood shed, WW1 was extremely brutal for how it was fought

I'm going back to play Red Orchestra

Tiger tanks in Libya in 1941? 🤔

Do not care if there are innacuracies. The most important thing is how deeply this prologue portraits people equally and as a human beings. This is the most beautiful thing about it.....accuracy or not, all these people lost their life in this mad war. I know what I'm talking about because my great grandfather fought and lost his life. My grandfather always talked about him.....when he was going to war, he told my grandfather this "I am only going to protect my country and family from any danger that is on the other side of this world, just the thought of killing someone is horrible but you have to do it in order to protect someone you cherish the most. Remember son, if you kill someone, he also has family like I do....and that family will miss him and will be crying like your mama would be if I would die. Remember that everyone will always protect someone they love, if they lose that someone in their life it will be very hard for them. If something happens to me, remember that someone who hurt me just protected their family.....never hold grudge against anyone". This is how I know his story from my grandad and dad.....REST IN PEACE ALL WAR HEROES

This really was beautiful. I remember getting quite emotional playing it through for the first time. It’s a shame the game didn’t really live up to what could’ve been something amazing.

Admittedly,it truly is a beautiful prologue,but for History Buffs like myself,the amount on anachronisms in this is just off-putting. A Tiger I in Narvik and 1941 Libya,British Troops using Stens,FG-42s and Browning Automatic Rifles,not to mention their usage of M1 Helmets,during the 1940 Battle of Narvik...I could go on.

"Man's unworthiest creation, what lead it back to us ? Does a hidden hand guide it ?" *These* *lines* *really* *fit* *to* *the* *current* *situation* *in* *Europe*😢

8:20 the best and most realistic part. I love this part

The dialogue at 13:28 is IMO the best thing about the intro

8:39 gave me so much emotion with the music and on the right side the pilot has a family which is very sad.

Spine chilling is an understatement , it’s insane how a video game can make you freeze and really think of the stories our grandparents told us.

I cried durin the mission "the last tiger"

13:05 where's the iron sights

There where neither American helmets or BAR Lmgs in Norway 1940 and for sure there was no Tiger 1 as they were introduced 1942. Just to mention the so called historical accuracy...

Good prologue....minus the historical accuracy problem.

My grandfather was 8 when he heard Neville chamberlains speech on the U.K. declaring war with Germany. rest his soul. I could never imagine hearing that live

I love how many scenes show the point of the Prologue. Objectiveness. They make you play allies prioritizing killing medics that are simply trying to save wounded. Then they make you play a German pilot protecting his family from a British air raid. They also show you German soldiers standing up to the Nazi regime. To hell with historical accuracy. This mission sends its message clearly. It's refreshing to see a game that shows directly the "villain" side of things.

British greyhounds shooting at Tiger tanks xD

The narration was great, but it was the music that brought this intro to the next level. So intense, emotional, and powerful.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in any video game

I really like that they included that statue in the beginning reflecting what happened in BF 1 and I'm almost certain that 01:43 that is the same soldier from that mission in BF1 but older. The little hint at 14:46 pretty much confirms it.

When I first bought this game 2 years ago, for completing chores. When I inserted the disc in my Xbox, it made me go through this, I had no idea that this was about World War 2, and every minute of it, my jaw was dropped. My whole family watched me go through the intro, and they were as shocked as I was.

"Son's and daughter's, mother's and father's. We have no world without them. And there is no other world." Holy shit that hit my feels like a wrecking ball

14:18 I played this piece of music for my schools band and it was beautiful! Hearing it again but like this just gives me pure goosebumps

That moment where you're in the plane with that epic music gave me chills !

I had a POV of me dying in a German airplain and immediately after that I got an Oreo ad Death is truly horrifying

12:20 Teammate: oh you going to that mg?*YOINK*

15:04 as a kinda old bf player i kinda see this as beautiful to see this. that just shows how deadly we humans can turn on each other, our own race

one of the best game openings ive ever seen. well played

This is some beautiful writing and storytelling. Kudos to the scriptwriters. You're my heroes.

Ignoring all historical inaccuracies (especially Tiger in 1940-41), it's great to see the German perspective of the war: fighting with the Afrika Korps and defending homeland from inhuman destruction. I did not go to this game to look for historical accuracy, I came to enjoy the bits of history; I'd just read books and watch documentaries if I'm looking for historical accuracy, not by a game.

Hands down to the best title introduction in a video game ever. The built-up, soundtrack, cinematic. It makes me imagine mother earth cries upon the sad future of humanity. Perfection.

1:00 I love this part

The men that fought in this war had lives. But to the enemy, they were a machine. Another man. Another target. Another enemy. Behind every gunsight is a human being. Behind every trigger is a life. Behind every weapon, there is a story. Battlefield 1 captured this so easily. And yet, it all fell apart. To the men that fell in these wars. Men who stood up to the powers of evil. Men who signed up for duty. Teenagers who had brave hearts. Unknowingly stepping into hell. To the men and conscripts who stood in the line of duty. And those who died in it. *Lest we forget.*

Greatest intro to a game ever

This game and BF1 had super emotional campaigns Especially the prologues and epilogues

Literally every other species: **takes care of their young** Baby Turtles: 3:11

I loved every part of this prologue, and I actually cried during 13:00 and onwards. The speech and the music, it's just so sad.

10:20 that music. This is what makes Battlefield great.

I wish they update the game with the eastern front and the soviets too. Not just pacific theater 😢

I remember playing this back in 2018. After I finished the opening, I actually cried thinking that a lot of people had to fight like this. And as much as I love BF1’s opening, to me, it’s more gut wrenching than sorrowful, even tho it is sorrowful

At 1:21 that quote about being a good soldier I found in the forgotten voices of the Great War book. It was from an interview with Sergeant Stefan Westmann who was in the 29th Division of the German Army in World War 1. The quote might be from the book I'm not sure though

So this multi million dollar company can’t get facts right yet some individual at home with an interest can this is sad

1:21 this quote was from the father of German WW1 veteran Stefan Westmann . There is a video of his interview It's called German soldier talks about stabbing an french officer something like this

0:55 this music still gives me goosebumps

We have no world without them... and there is no other world. Jeez that hit me hard in the feels

Tiger in 1940 is fiction. First battle the Tigers in Russia 1941/1942 near Leningrad. In North Africa Tiger Tank was battle in 1942.

I’m here before WWIII starts

This is the first thing to actually let me shed tears

Regardless of your opinion of the game the music is so beautiful the last song gives me chills every time

This video needs a standing ovation.

i always get goosebumps in the Narvik scene, just the transition from the music and the view

"Men do not kill fellow humans. The uniform does."

Love the use of I vow to thee my country at the end

“ A good soilder kills without thinking as his enemy as a human being. And the moment he sees him as a fellow man he is not a good soldier. And I was a good soldier”

"within each of us lie the seeds of an undefined greatness" that honestly has been stuck in my head the first time playing this

"If We Don't End Wars..... Wars Will End Us" H.G Wells.
