Nice thumbnail.

>>13775220

I have no idea. I stopped following the news after getting Cold War.

I love how World War I happened for literally fucking nothing but everyone in Europe getting butthurt at each other.

>>13775286

There was far more autism back then.

>>13775307

Still, it's amusing to think Serbia wanting to rule itself ended up blowing up so legendarily because when Austria-Hungary had enough of their shit and called Germany for help, France, Britain and Russia got dragged in just to protect their own interests and basically went from simply not getting along to trying to kill the other side with a perfect excuse of being on the opposing team. It's both tragic because of the sheer earth shaking consequences of this and hilarious from sheer stupidity and meaninglessness.

Jews didn't do this one.

>>13775286

Don't forget the greatest part in it's starting. A bunch of anally ravaged turkroaches decided they should kill the Archduke of Austria, but they failed miserably. The only reason he was killed was because one of the assassins was bored and hungry and just so happened to get a sub at the exact location that the duke's car broke down. It's like a fucking Monty Python comedy sketch, except very tragic and very real.

>>13775242

>google 'macadam shovel'

>it's fucking real

>it was invented when some Canadian minister's secretary made a stupid suggestion

This is why women shouldn't have rights.

>>13775386

>It is also an illustration of the economic nationalism whereby locally developed technologies were ardently believed by their proponents inherently superior because they were products of the country.

Good old Wikipedia, never missing an oppurtunity to push the poz.

>>13775337

Austria Hungary were right bastards here, Serbia actually accepted all points of the ultimatum they were sent by AH, except for one concerning spies in Serbian territory. AH used this as their cases belli which was regarded. Then Russia tried to step in and negotiate a truce during the July crisis, AH were prepared to listen I think but then GERMANY who had already been called to help started mobilising which was when France mobilised in reaction, and then Britain.

It's always the Germans.

>>13775345

I faintly remember something along the lines from my big ass Macmillan McGraw textbook history book saying the assassin was lucky or destiny was just fucking cruel that day. Yeah, there was something about blowing the first time then impossibly getting another chance.

Why do anons call them "turkroaches" anyways? All I know about is that one funny as fuck midget, Koksal Baba.

>>13775370

They weren't fucking anarchists or "liberals", they just wanted to not be annexed.

>>13775419

>gavrilo princip wasn't an anarchist

I can see you're a man of learning and facts.

>>13775370

Wait, I don't understand. Are you calling me a goon? What made you say that?

Am I the only person who finds it disrespectful to make a video game based around this war? I would say the same thing about WW2 but the veterans themselves seem to like to glorify it. It just feels wrong to create entertainment and profit off of such a horrible human tragedy.

>>13775414 (sage for double post)

They had way more than one chance. I recall there being 5 or so assassins and every time their attempts failed. For example, they tried to use a five second grenade, but the fuse unlit after it hit the ground. As a backup for getting out of being caught, they used cyanide to kill themselves. Unfortunately the cyanide was outdated and only gave them a stomach ache and vomiting. One assassin decided to jump into a nearby river and take cyanide just to be sure, but the river was only a few inches deep. It's fucked in so many ways that you can't help but laugh at how incompetent they are.

>>13775398

>Serbs dindunuffin

You faggots have been stirring up shit in the region for the better part of 500 years. Half the wars in the Balkans wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Serbs.

>>13775476

No, I feel exactly the same. Something about the horror of WW1 makes it just seem off-limits for entertainment in general.

>>13775500

It reminds you too much of how people usually play RTS games?

>>13775504

Good way of putting it.

>>13775476

LOL?

>>13775510

I don't really think it's disrespectful to show what the war was like, or to put players in a situation where they are forced to face the same challenges that the officers and soldiers did. I mean, it's easy to talk about the waste and brutality, but when you're put in charge of assaulting the enemy line with what they had at their disposal back then it does illustrate why things happened the way they did.

And then, of course, you have Marxist filth like Battlefield 1 where the whole point is for Swedish cucks to shit on as many whites as they possibly can and beg the rest of us to exterminate them.

>>13775500

I can only imagine some poor draftee sitting a flooded, muddy, rat infested trench, contemplating the deaths of all of his closest comrades, and wondering how future generations will look back on this farce of a war. And then the Battlefield 1 trailer plays.

>>13775109

necrovision, (^:

Tannenberg should come out soon, a "standalone expansion" to Verdun

>>13775476

Only disrepectful if it's done like Niggerfield was.

>>13775531

I've got Necrovision and the sequel sitting on my HD, what are they like?

>>13775531

>general broni

Fucking polaks.

>>13775544

Why not try it?

>>13775133

Looks like a mod for coh1 tbh

>>13775524

>or to put players in a situation where they are forced to face the same challenges that the officers and soldiers did

>but when you're put in charge of assaulting the enemy line with what they had at their disposal back then it does illustrate why things happened the way they did

No video game can do that.

>>13775580

There is a COH1 WW1 mod funny enough.

>>13775607

After being most dedicated servants and allies of the Turks for centuries, nothing remains to distinguish them from their former lords except the variety of eastern semitic superstition they adhere to.

>>13775109

Ace of Spades.

>>13775398

It was the Russians that mobilized their army. The German Foreign Minister tried to draft a peace deal but at the same dinner he proposed the plan to the Russian ambassador, the ambassador dropped dead of cardiac arrest. The Russians blamed the Germans for his death and that’s how The bloodiest war in history happened all because a lanky serblet went for a sandwich and some Russian fuck thought that it was a good idea to die at an important meeting.

>>13775699

>Lelelelelelelelelel, they went back to Orthodox Christianity, the religion they had before Communism. They should have just started worshiping trees like me, Christianity and Islam are litteraly the same, kekekekkememememe

There's some kind of RTS game coming out that looks really similar to your pic, OP. I can't remember what it's called, but it's basically Scythe the Video Game.

>>13775926

It's coming out on consoles too so you know it will be shit. Also, it breaks my heart that it's a fucking RTS game and not an RTT with mech customization. Way to throw all the potential away.

Tannenberg goes into early access this Wednesday.

>>13775607

I got confused because the group they worked for was called The Young Turks (lel) and their specific subgroup was The Black Hand (lel again)

>>13775109

There's an old TBS named "Historyline 1914-1918"

>>13775593

Y'know, it wouldn't have been such a bad idea if there'd been a little plate with a latch or something to cover the hole when you want to use it as a shovel.

>>13776191

Holy shit this game looks good.

Good old Ubisoft, pushing WE WUZ WW1 even before EA sunk their kike claws into it.

>>13775607

It's ongoing meme that Serbs are Turks because they were ruled by Ottomans for 350+ years.

But actual genetic studies don't really support that.

>>13776278

>leafs overengineer a SHOVEL

>>13775965

Someone here ought to buy it on release so I can see if it's as bad as Verdun.

>>13775526

>>13775526

It's hurt…

>>13775337

>jews didn’t do WWI

This is how fucking retarded you actually are.

>>13776765

Verdun really needs a new engine.

>no Iron Storm a.k.a. WWI lasted for 60 years

>>13776428

I wish the First World War had never happened

>>13775843

>Kaiser thought it wasn't going to be a big deal so he went on his yearly vacation after he made the promise to Austria.

It was that kind of thinking that made WW I the greatest piece of black comedy in the history of mankind.

>>13777947

To be fair no one though WW1 would turn into the clusterfuck it became. Everyone was expecting a swift victory, or at the very least a replay of 19th century wars. Granted, people should have paid more attention to the American Civil War and the Russo-Japanese War, but you always prepare to fight the last war you fought, not a future one.

>>13775391

Fixed.

>>13778144

I remember /v/ bitching more that everyone seems to think that WW1 was only fought in the Western trenches ignoring Eastern, Balkans, African, Asian and even fronts in South America.

>>13778554

It went even further than that, the general public seems to ignore aspects of the Western Front itself, let alone notice all the fucking around in the Alps and Middle East. The average schmuck will only be able to tell stories about mass infantry waves getting shelled to pieces in no-man's-land or gassed in trenches. Maneuver warfare of 1914, underground sapper combat, the development of strategic bombing and rudimentary combined-arms tactics simply don't exist to them.

Now thanks to BF1 people will believe that armor-plated infantrymen storming along with light machineguns was a typical sight in 1918

>>13777625

It does but this doesn't look too bad.

>>13775447

>>13777263

Any manipulating tensions afterwards might have been Jewry, but the spark, Black Hand assassinating Ferdinand to keep Serbia independent, inherently wasn't. It was a matter of nationalism and extremism. Also, WW1 was the result of secret alliances that dragged everyone in that didn't even care, which were banned after it, otherwise Serbia or Austria-Hungary would have just killed the other and been done with it or even just fought each other while the rest of the world watched.

And how did that faggot think he was going to sow anarchy?

>>13778707

I thought there was an NDA for alpha players.

>working bots

>HMGs

>better sounds

>longer range

It's better than I expected, but they should have removed the squad level system.

>>13777884

Without WWI we wouldn't have eventually received the saviour of mankind, der fuhrer

>>13780579

Ideas are bulletproof, sadly in some cases.

>>13776428

Didn't Hitler only survive WW1 because some American or British Soldier saved him

>>13780534

I found it on their forums, aside from that I don't mind that whole squad system.

Back in the day, Red Baron by Dynamix was awesome. In the career mode, once you got promoted to Rittmeister (or captain if you played on the allied side), you'd be given a personal aircraft which you could paint with your personal colors. It was from this game where I learned that Herman Göring was a fighter pilot.

>>13778707

Looks better than I thought it would be but I hope they don't cave in and add sniper rifles. That was one of the worst things they ever did to Verdun.

>>13776765

You should take a look at the modern shovels

>>13777863

this game was ok at best

>>13780663

A "realistic" FPS could work if, instead of being a single character, you were actually a military unit, and the number of soldiers are your "lives". The game would be divided into turns, before each turn you get your objective and plan your assault, equip your soldiers, direct how each squad will proceed and where they will go and then initiate the attack. Each time your character dies you move to another one in the squad, and if they are all wiped out you switch to the next squad etc.

>>13783108

Please tell me there's a version with someone dubbing over this "as seen on TV" style.

>>13780458

Just pirate it, fag.

>>13775145

this has become my new favorite war-time song. i played it in my community band back in the spring, hear it all the time in verdun and the wasted land, just recently played it again for a veteran's day thing, it's just a top song all around.

>>13775398

This is just a plain lie. Germany was, from the countries who were initially involved in the war, the last power to mobilise its armies and the last one to break down peace negotiations. But keep believing ebbin XD:D:D /commypol/ webms on the internet. The first country who mobilised its army for a big war was Britain by the way, whole six months before the war has even started.

Bump, Tannenberg was just released.

>>13792735

I'd rather not play it at all if that's the level of jewery was around during the games designing.

>>13807286

So is it any shit?

>>13778673

>people never know Austrian were aiming to maim and shoot medics

>people never know that to avenge this Italian charged the bullets upside down so when the would be fired they would spin and make more dmg to the body and organs

>>13807677

This is decent if you really like the Blitzkrieg games. It's slow and methodical, and unfortunately infantry is really vulnerable, like in regular Blitzkrieg. Also, you can really tell that some of the people making missions had a decent idea of what WW1 was and others didn't. On some missions you'll have real battles with realistic armies and objectives, and then in the next you'll be fighting German tanks in 1914.

Oh, and Iron Grip is fucking dead. The developer seems to have disappeared from the net.

>>13775560

I can't help but laugh at this picture. I imagine he's laughing and making some silly comment

>fufufu I pity those poor fucks who didn't dig their own trench

>>13810520

He's laughing because otherwise he'll probably end up thinking about all the times he nearly died

>>13775497

Oh is anon butthurt? All that BBC in your ass is what usually is that cause of that

>>13810917

I remember they had like 20 spells mapped to the same number key, that was annoying as fuck, the whole point of mapping weapons to keys is so you don't have to scroll through a bunch of shit you don't want to use. they should have just allowed you to bind them to individual hotkeys, goddamn. Good game otherwise, I felt the sequel was better but I can't elaborate on that since it's been several years since I played them.

>>13775500

WW1 kicked off a century of violence that would destroy Europe, leave its old values in wreckage and ready to be replaced by consumer capitalism or totalitarian communism.

Ace of Spades

>8/v/ thinks some fruity Duke getting shot was the real reason for ww1 kicking off

jesus what happened while i was gone

>>13775345

>turkroaches

You mean Slavs.

>>13817571

That's factually why the fighting started. Everyone got dragged in because of alliances.

Oh yeah some guys are making a WWI standalone mod for Day of Infamy.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/ww1-source/news/screaming-steel-changing-vanilla

Supposed to come out in December.

The question is, could you make a WWI FPS game that accurately plays out as spending 95% of your time in a trench trying to keep yourself healthy (which could effect running speed, accuracy, response time) and not getting a illness from the horrible conditions, listening out for gas shell attacks and then 5% HIGH INTENSITY action of running across no man land, shooting the enemy while a bunch of your comrades get shot and or even drown in mud all in a vain effort to get to the next trench to push forward because no one has invented the tank yet.

>>13775725

>Zebra riding

Did Africans even try to domesticate them and use them like horses?

>>13783108

>Slicing

No one is going to fucking use that for actually slicing up food, especially after you digging through the dirt

>Oar

ANY FUCKING SHOVEL CAN DO THAT!

>>13829180

Aces of Spades then?

>>13828962

But day of infamy is putrid shit. A a shit copy of DoD, I bought it and insta refunded it.

Anime girl WW1 game when?

>>13775500

>>13775476

Why? You could say the same about WW2, and in fact I'd argue WW2 is way worse, because of the massive amount of civilian casualties. This might sound wrong, but soldiers are "supposed" to fight and die. They are expendables. Now, there is more to warfare depending on the period, but the World Wars had come about in a time where materialism > higher ideals. Tired, but point is the only time I would agree is when

<modern "game makers"

>>13810971

To be honest, it felt pretty par for the course when it comes to mid 2000s railroad vehicle segments.

So is Tannenberg worth getting? Also gonna bump the thread

>>13859978

Not yet.

>>13828962

Isn't there already a WW1 Sauce Engine Mod?

>>13829475

>trading fags for biscuits

Hell no, you keep those fags like your life depends on it. You go steal the good biscuits when your captain tells you to get his swagger stick

>>13860827

But zebras are notoriously difficult to domesticate.
