Battlefield 1 Any% Speedrun World Record

Battlefield 1 full game speedrun on easy difficulty. A sub 1h 33min run is surely possible. I was actually scared after the chapter Be Safe that I would choke the run as the last three chapters are quite easy to mess up and have big time losses. Thankfully chapters In Plain Sight and Young Men's Work went rather smoothly but I lost some time in the last chapter. But still, I'm quite happy with this run even though some chapters were quite sloppy in my opinion.

Some things to note in BF1:

- In Break of Dawn it doesn't seem to matter how many times you die in the final fight. As long as you die after about 8 minutes and 5 seconds you get the last spawn.
- Most objective capture times seem to have been changed since release. This means some levels are now slower to do than at release, most notably Over the Top is about 1 minute slower now by default.
- You can skip a lot of waiting or some cutscenes by reloading last checkpoint. This is used in Fog of War, Test Flight and Young Men's Work.
- Running into barbed wire in O La Vittoria allows you to run at normal speed. In O Tutti Accoppati you run faster with your secondary or equipment out than with the double barrel machine gun.
