    Honestly I don't see why I need another WW mod to steal countless hours away from me. Even if the mod is well made, I think I've burned out on mods based on that era.

    Lets start a real WW1.















    .... what do you mean by "too late"??

    Woohoo way to miss the fact that I put WW instead of WW1 or WW2. Any mod from that era is off limits to me, because DOD stole many many days from my life.

    All it needs is some media. Sheesh. Why would I, your average cynical, jaded, played every mod under the sun half-life player care enough to download this mod and try it out without some sort of screenshots to make me say 'wow, this mod looks like it's worth my time' ? For all I know it could be stickmen shooting square blocks at eachother. Hmm... actually, a stickmen mod would be kind of neat. Anyway, that's off topic. No pic, no click!

    Did you test D3D yet ? Is it really an "OMGNOFOGH3X!!?" ?

    I also think the nades could use a small nerfing. And did they use flamethrowers in WW1 ? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    WAR OF 1812 BEOTCH


    I talked to a dev and he said using D3D was a cheat and laughingly I tested it to see....well this game REVOLVES AROUND THE EXCELLENT FOG....D3D= No fog. :|
  • esunaesuna Rock Bottom Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15175Members, Constellation
    I guess it's ok. The level design is absolutely dire (Admittedly i only looked through about 3 of them) and also the textures leave a lot to be desired.

    On the other hand, i love the system with the weapons, you have to manually load the next shot after each time you fire, and there's a whole boatload of animations for weapons switches and reloading, looks like they spent a lot of work on that.

    I guess it could be rather fun, but the crappy level design makes me never want to play it.

  • MavericMaveric Join Date: 2002-08-07 Member: 1101Members
    If D3D is a cheat mode because there's no fog in it, then a simple solution would be to remove the option of D3D from the mod.
    Plain and simple.



    Be sure to chew someone out if they kill you from inside the fog, too. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Having now just played a few rounds of The Trenches, god, avoid this mod!

    The gameplay is boring, repetative and slow, there's no weapon loadouts to chose from (Oh come on, who the hell would chose the grenadier with his stick?!). I can't believe i even gave it that much time of my life. The bland mapping fits the bland gameplay perfectly.

    This is to DOD what Hostile Intent is to CS. Yes, i know DOD is a different war, but they're still historic war mods. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Public betas are rarely good and this is NO exception!

    The mapping is good, with large amounts of vertex manipulation giving a very nice ground effect, but UGH! THE CONTRAST!

    The ground is nearly pitch-black and the sky is the default HL-"desert" skybox. My eyeballs were SO seared by the contrast between the ground and sky <b>i couldn't even see a enemy unless they fired their weapon</b>. And of course i was continually looking down at the ground to avoid giving myself perminate retinal damage.

    [The contrast is something like a white-stripe on a black background. Then make that white stripe glow neon-like and have the black background extend 360 degrees in all directions. UUUUGHHHH!!!!]

    As well, for a WW1 mod, there are <b>ZERO</b> machine guns! A WW1 mod without machine guns is like Chocolate ice-cream without the chocolate flavour!!! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> On top of this, there's only 3 weapons. A nade, a bayonet, and a rifle. multiply by two for the different sides for 6.


    Over all:

    "<b><i>BLEH!</i></b>"

    I to have played a little bit of this mod and all I have to ask is <i>what did you expect?</i> I mean there making a game about a war where the soldiers main job was to sit in trenches and get there **** shelled off. Ideally the main premise of this game would be who could survive an artillery barrage for longer. Thats how WW1 was fought, with static lines and lots of artillery. Not with this dynamic line stuff that they introduced with this mod. If they wanted to they could call it a ww2 mod and no one would notice.

    /end knee-jerk review. I haven't played much of the game, and I don't know much about ww1. Ideally everyone should try this game more than I have and decide if they like it or not.

    they just need to work out a few things but their weapon models/skins/animations were very impresive with all the transition animations

    I hear tell the next release is expecting a new player class and poison gas. Yay.

    And grenades dont need a nerfing, this is a realistic mod. Flaming shards of steel kill, quickly.
