Battlefield 1 is going through lots of ups and downs. It is believed that the players are forced to play an African-American character in the game. Not only is this it has inaccurate depiction of the involvement of African-Americans during World War 1.

This game was released on October 21 and the game developers and publishers had to undergo lots of criticism as they had featured African-American character on the cover of the game.

 After the release, the criticism has become stronger as the players pointed out that Battlefield 1 is black washing people and there is an unrealistic depiction of the historical world war 1which serves as the setting of the video game.

The game has overlooked the efforts of the white soldiers while putting more emphasis on African-American soldiers who had a small role in the war.

 Some players are mad at the fact that they are forced to play a black character in the game.

Despite the criticism Battlefield 1 is getting strong figures as far as the sales are concerned. Companies like Electronic Arts declared that they are expecting to sell 80 million units for PS4 and Xbox one version this year.

Company's further state that emphases are not on the idea that which community was involved more during the world war one.

In fact, the thing to be noticed is the amazing job EA Dice did in designing the elaborate digital environments which could resemble the battlefields of the war.

The opening of this game is focused on Harlem hell fighters. Players already know that survival is not expected and every death sees them thrust into the boost of another soldier. The game reminds its audiences that world war one was a horror show that was inflicted on human beings in reality.

The players are taught from the outset that life is cheap and death is free. Apart from producing heroes war creates more corpses and lives end within minutes.
