Such strides towards realism are seen in many other places within Tannenberg’s overarching design too.ĭeath, for example, comes extremely quickly in Tannenberg as there’s none of the bullet-soakery that permeates other shooter shooters. Clearly, developers M2H and Blackmill Games have done their homework here too, as the uniforms which are bespoke to each army are highly detailed and wholly representative of what those troops wore into battle over one hundred years ago.īeyond painstakingly detailed uniforms, Tannenberg also strives for a feeling of authenticity with the nationalities of the troops themselves, in which each soldier actually speaks the language of their native tongue on the battlefield something that is a world away from the accented English seen in other war games. In its relentless pursuit of authenticity, Tannenberg allows players to take roles in the Russian, Roumanian, Latvian, Austro-Hungarian, German and Bulgarian armies of the time, as they engage in a variety of battles that span the width and breadth of the Eastern Front. Verdun is regularly on sale, so you won't be missing much if you end up not liking it, or just get a refund.Tannenberg prizes realism and authenticity over Hollywood style bombast and false drama. All in all, I recommend this game if you enjoy something like Insurgency, Red Orchestra 2 or hardcore modes in the Battlefield games. I play on the European servers, but I heard some others have even less players. But still, you usually play with only 2/3 of your lobby being players, sometimes it's even less than a half. Luckily, there is AI support, so all the empty player slots are filled with bots. Verdun's small playerbase is both a good thing, because it keeps the toxicity at minimum, and a bad thing, because you can rarely find more than one semi-populated match. If you want to, you can still limit the framerate to 30, but I personally play with it unlocked. Don't get me wrong, it's completely playable, but the framerate definitely isn't steady. Now the negatives: The game is rather chuggy on consoles. Voice acting is pretty neat too, characters' voice intonations don't sound fake, their screams of pain and orders sound convincing. Weapons look and feel great, the reload animations are detailed, gunshots sound realistic, so do the explosions. If it's set to ultra, explosions will often tear limbs off, shots will deform heads, sometimes after you die your character will start to roll on the ground and scream in agony. There is also a gore system which can be turned off in the game's options. Verdun is overall a lot slower than Battlefield or Call of Duty, reloading takes more time and you have to recharge your stamina. If you are dueling an enemy, usually the quicker one will win. One rifle shot in the torso is pretty much always an instant death, pistols usually take 1-2 body shots to kill at short to medium range and 2-3 at longer range. It should be noted that this game is rather unforgiving at times. There is a total of 9 maps in the "Frontlines" mode, each of which is based on real life battlefields. A point is given once a team succesfully attacks and defends a trench, which makes the enemies fall back and defend the next trench. There are two teams, who take turns attacking and defending trenches, with the goal being to either score more points than the other team or capture the enemy team's headquarters. There is a bunch of modes, with the most popular being "Frontlines". The gameplay is enjoyable once you get into it. Obviously it doesn't look as good as the Battlefield games, Verdun has a smaller budget and a smaller development team, plus, it runs on Unity, but the graphics aren't really bad, they are just passable. I once heard two guys in my squad have a historical disscussion about WW1, so this is definitely a community I enjoy being in. Now onto Verdun: I noticed a solid part of the playerbase being really interested in history, and the players are mostly nice. Both games try to accomplish different things, feel and look differently, they just both are first person shooters set during World War 1.
First of all, I see a lot of people comparing this game to Battlefield 1, but I personally find them hard to compare.
