I got the urge to indulge in some WW1 style games, so are there any good ones out there?

I know of some, like BF1 (trash), Valiant Hearts and an (propably) early access one I can't remember the name of.

His voice is ok tbh, what is more annoying is that he completely disregarded the consequences of WWI, and how they led to WWII.

He should have first done the WWI series, then a series on the interwar period, and then about WWII.

The ostfront series was extremely disappointing too.


f22a97 No.14112824

If you want full servers and are willing to overlook just how far DICE took the Sweden Yes! meme then BF1. If you want a slow game with empty servers and clunky movement, try Verdun. Verdun is without a doubt the more realistic of the two, but BF1 is hands down the more entertaining. BF1 just reminds me of a WW2 game with a WW1 reskin, some of the maps they released in the French DLC has good trench warfare, but the overwhelming majority of the fighting is just shit you'd expect to find in the ETO during WW2.

They had to go full historical revisionism for that. There are way too many automatic rifles.

They had a game mode to make it semi-realistic by having a bolt-action only loadouts (I think it was called "Back to Basics") but Dice never promoted it so all the servers are empty.

Speaking of Dice, I can't wait to see how they're going to fuck up Battlefield 5.

A war that was cause by an Austro-Serbian pissing contest that spilled out so that Russia had to get involved because they were allied with Serbia, which meant Germany was obligated to get involved because they were allied with Austria, which got France involved because they were allied with Russia, which made Germany have to attack France since they had declared war on both them and Austria, so they marched their armies through Belgium to thwart the French defenses, only to get Britain involved even thought they were not allied with any of the original parties in this situation, but WERE allied with Belgium.

The Men of War standalone mod is Battle of Empires: 1914-1918. It's pretty good if you liked the original Men of War campaign, but the developers were absolute retards and broke it up into a confusing mess of DLC. Right now I think there's a British, French, German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and kebab campaigns, along with a campaign that focuses more on armoured vehicles from different nations, and they all have about 8-10 missions.

Yeah, nah. Also: the distances aren't great enough. When you can just run up and around their defenses, and he riflecan puncture everything with just two hits, there is no real reason to dig trenches either, Larger, more open areas, with longer view distances and heavy machine guns that can only be moved very slowly or build for resources (which must be brought in from the base), as well as making fortifications tougher would solve most of these problems.

A mix of AoS and Foxholes would be rad.


20d0b9 No.14153698

>>14139336

And how would you fit all of that in an FPS?


d3609d No.14154271

>>14153698

It's simple:

You take Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm, and instead of tanks there are artillery crews. They can be killed by snipers if they are not careful, or be hit by the enemy artillery if they don't relocate in time.

The artillery is another platoon, that has their own leader. The infantry and artillery platoons need to communicate, since it will take a lot of time for the artillery to relocate, but if you want to keep your attack going, you need artillery at the new front lines ready to go, not where you have just captured an objective. You don't want to continue shelling a position you have already taken, or drop gas shells where they will kill your own troops.

Teams get respawn tickets, but depending on the current career score, they can get fewer or more tickets, depending on if they overextend their supply lines. Each side gets FTL like choices every match, where they get to decide between more artillery ammo, an extra grenade for each solider and stuff like that, or no bonus at all. If they take the bonus however, that means that their supply lines will suffer, soldiers will get less food/medical supplies and you get less tickets, or less hitpoints per player.

You know how, on the campaign map in RO2 the players get to decide where to attack?

Imagine the same thing, but every tile is also associated with a unit. Once a tile is taken, the unit that took it advances to the newly taken tile, while the unit that lost it is forced back.

If the players decide to attack using that unit again, they will have less tickets in the next game, since their unit didn't get any time to resupply, while the enemy probably has a fresh unit ready to defend it. This forces the players to carefully select their attack route.

While I agree that the last paragraph is not very easy to translate into a multilayer game (especially with "democratic" elements), but you could do it for a singleplayer game.

The problem with WW1 is that it essentially was fought between massive amounts of volunteers and conscripts rather than professional soldiers.

These rather ill-trained troops were not equipped with the moustache and thus fell en masse. The power of the moustache grants a soldier increased concentration, thinking power and a natural barrier that has the potential to bounce bullets. Any soldier without one was a massive disadvantage and a liability on the battlefield.
