<div class="IPBDescription">a Half-life beta mod</div> I strongly urge people to download this mod, the trenches, so far its just a beta so theres not alot in it, 2 classes, one gun, and a gernade, and knife. But updates with new weapons and maps are comming soon. This is a realism type game, so if you dont like to play realism, you wont like this.

    The Trenches, otherwise known as "Will Never Be As Good As DoD". The reason there's a shortage of WWI mods is... no one wants to play a WWI mod. It's boring.

    =P

    broad statements ftw.

    I was going to say something mean, but /golfclap really sums it up.

    Screw it. <span style='color:red'>personal insults are not tolerated</span> You have bad taste. You sound like the person who spazzes out in joy over another WW2 shooter, and when something INTERESTING comes along, like a WW1 game, you so broadly and elegantly state "WW1 IS STUPID! LMAO!" Good job, sir, good job. You really do humanity justice.

    I heard some ppl saying that this may become the next DoD. But I ain't sure about that. I played it for a while (3 days actually) and it becomes boring after 30 minutes.

    that's because of:

    - boring maps (what kind of newbee mappers does this MOD have??), they are very monotone
    - objects based on false information (you can see a german tank with chains in one map - the germans didn't have any tanks - they only had some armoured vehicles at the very end of the war which only had regular tires)
    - one weapon for each side +1 grenade type for each side
    - no austrian,french or american soldiers are included (I mean okay if they don't include austrian or american soldiers they should propaply include french soldiers because the fight between german and french soldiers mostly took place in belgium the americans and brits joined the battle lately)
    - no machine guns are included
    - no chemical weapons are included
    - no motars are included
    and the list goes on...

    -edit-
    yes I know it's in it's betas but, there aren't any announces for fixing those things, the only thing they may change are the machineguns..

    Yea, come on. Give 'em some credit for making a WW1 mod. Yes, it has been in beta for a long time. But when I did play it, I enjoyed it quite a bit. ATM there is a lack of depth in the gameplay, but that's why it's a beta. I'll definitely keep my eye on this for a final release.

    Oh, as far as the mod goes, good for them. Seriously. I've wanted a WW1 game for ages. I'll check it out.

    EDIT: I missed Lt Realness' post. All I can say is "damn."

    Played it. Its kind of fun, for a while. But soon you see why World War I was such a horrific war: trench warfare is <u>POINTLESS</u>.

    exactly what I said above <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    it's quite fun for a few hours on a LAN party. but you mostly don't see your enemys face to face like it happens in DoD. there's acutally not much movement. when it comes to close combat in melee situations you have your bayonett. but that's all.mostly you see the enemys head or just a part of the body and pull the trigger of your gun - KILL - see the next head - pull the trigger - KILL - looking for another target - YOU GET KILLED - this repeats many times. the only thing I started to do is rushing all the time with nades and more agressive, but that ain't help that much if only you and your friend does it.

    Terribly boring mod in my opinion. I don't get why anyone would make a WWI game, unless you enjoy just sitting there.
  • PRTePRTe Join Date: 2003-10-25 Member: 21919Members
    played it for a few hours when it got released. it is pretty damned boring even though the concept of a ww1 mod seems cool. especially the maps. gosh they suck

    You realize it used to take days to score kills sometimes over no-mans-land? heh. Grenades were often timed and thrown so they could explode them over their enemies head, then they got into the habit.

    Mustard Gas Grenades for the win! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Have you even played the game? It's awful. It is not interesting; it is not innovative.

    Seriously try playing a game before you defend it - you'll seem so much more intelligent (not to mention, people might even give you a little bit of respect).

    It's a good idea and could of been impletented a lot better but tis just a big grind and not fun needs more new ideas like gas attack you gotta put gas mask on n stuff etc.

    This being said, I will only play this game if they implement a certain defense against gas attacks.
