hckydntst Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 and of course delayed once again.... ;p Quote
DestroidsRage Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Man, I want them to make a WW1 game like this! That'd be so cool! This game looks pretty damn cool though. Will there be vehicle support? It'd be pretty sweet to drive around in Tiger I and really bust up those inferior allies. LOL. -BEN-MAN- Quote
bsu legato Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 No vehicles in DoD, I'm afraid. The Half Life engine doesn't support them very well anyhow. Half Life 2, however, is another matter... If you want a game where infantry and tanks mix it up, it looks like BF1942 is your only option. Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Man, I want them to make a WW1 game like this! That'd be so cool! World War ONE? Gameplay: Player characters wait in a trench for the whistle to blow. When whistle blows they go "over the top" and charge the opposing side's trench. Those that somehow survive the lewis and maxim fire can fight it out until they are driven back. Repeat ad nauseum. Quote
DestroidsRage Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 LOL! I guess your right Still.. I wish there was a game.. Any game.. That could let you recreate battles in WW1... Say. Can anyone tell me if this boardgame is worth getting? It seems to be the only WW1 game out there. Computer, or conventional. http://www.clashofarms.com/graphics/landships.jpg You can find it in the WW1 Boardgame section of this site: http://www.clashofarms.com/ It could be neat... Dunno. Sorry, didnt mean to start up a new subject. If I want to play this game, will I need Halflife in order to play it? -BEN-MAN- Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 (edited) Wasn't there a cheap FPS that came out this year that pulled a Wolfenstien on World War One? They called it like "Iron Reign" or some crap like that. It was only on the shelves for like a week... it was definately a World War One computer game but it was one of those warped "what if?" games. Edit: Found it. The game is called Iron Storm and it contains levels of crap that a johnny on the spot could not contain. Basically the premise was that World War One did not end in 1918 and that it still went on... into the freaking '60s! The game is about as realistic to WW1 as Quake III is to actual combat. Avoid at all costs. Edited November 14, 2003 by JsARCLIGHT Quote

Check these HL mods out. http://www.xtremegn.com/overthetop/index.php http://www.warwickmedia.com/trenchratshl2/index.shtml I can't guarantee they'll be any fun, as JsARC pointed out, but they're out there for those who're interested. I'm also interested in the new Unreal Tournament mod, called Red Orchestra. It's yet another WW2 mod, but this time it's on the Russian front. It's apparently geared towards uber-realism with iron sights and severe class restrictions. That means no 12 man squads composed of snipers or SMGs. Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Its out, I played it today. I only played one of the new maps though, Switch. Quote
bsu legato Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Switch looks like it's going to be one of my new favorites. I can see it supporting some pretty pitched battles. The only problems I can forsee is the sheer number of rooms and buildings that are accessible in this map. You just know that all of the n00bs won't bother clearing them out, meaning it'll be fun to sneak behind enemy lines and cause havok. Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Yeah, all the rooms are going to be a big problem. I am more of a infantry, run at and kill type player, so all the snipers are going to be a big pain. Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 Mg shoot REALLY through walls i love that ! Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Yeah to day, I shot a guy though a tree with a K98. Quote
