I just couldn't get into BF1

BF4 by far. BF4 has some major flaws, but they're not as serious as BF1's. BF1's weapon and infantry v. vehicle balance is off, and the addition of behemoths and elite units doesn't help the matter. The customization is lacking and there's no real variety in the gadgets players carry. The changes to the weapon mechanics from 4 to 1 are horrible, LMGs in particular are a travesty. Reverse spread? Dafuq, DICE? Makes tap firing useless and just increases the TTK of LMGs unnecessarily. Secondly, making bolt-actions able to OHK with chest hits was idiotic. Way to casualize one of the most overused classes with a misguided attempt to force PTFOing. Class balance is also off, but this is something that DICE has struggled with since the first Battlefield. It's not as bad as BF3-4's Assault revive trains, but giving the Assault (Engineer) class the best weapons and the best gadgets for killing was a little much, because all their teamplay gadgets were removed as well (Repair Tool). And who even runs repair tool on the Support? It's like DICE just removed the ability for the best killers to revive, but forgot to give them something else to do.
