Verdun
By Uruk-Hai | TBD
Verdun
Verdun is a first person shooter set in the first world war' Based on the amazing ogre3D rendering engine'
Nations
The first versions of Verdun will feature 3 factions directly involved in the battle of Verdun' Find yourself in the epic struggle around the fortresses of Verdun in 1916 as either a French or a German soldier' Or see action as a rookie American marine in the Meuse Argonne offensive in 1918'
Later on, Verdun will also include the British, Canadian, ANZAC and Belgian forces in the western front battles of the Somme, Ypres, Vimy and Cambrai' In later releases we are especially interested in the Italian front with fighting between the Italian and Austria-Hungarian forces in mountainious settings' The lesser known battles of the eastern front will not be forgotten; not to mention the Mesopotamian and Galipoli front' With the community growing and with more people on the team this shouldn't be hard to realize soon'
Locations
In Verdun a variety of locations will be offered' You will meet your opponent in the shell-torn landscapes which dominated the Verdun salient' Maps that are going to be added contain names like Cote 304, Mort Homme and Fort Vaux/Douaumont for the French/German 1916 campaign' Trench warfare will be the main theme of this campaign with claustrofobic close combat, nightly trench raids, and massive infantry charges' Indoor locations like Fort Vaux and Douaumont, as well as some destroyed villages will be featured'
The American part will have a different theme, this time the front is more mobile' You will see the Meuse Argonne battle first hand while entering the Argonne forest, clearing huge bunker complexes' Another part will be the Meuse plains behind the Verdun front where you will face elite German sniper teams and machine gun outposts'

Today we introduce the United States as a faction. Firstly we have a new character model from Snipergen. It represents the "doughboy" also called "sammie", the United States soldier on the western front. Equipped with a number of eye-catching details like the Brodie helmet and the small box respirator (gas mask) slung around the neck. The United States launched their famous 'Meuse-Argonne' offensive on the old Verdun battlefield on the west bank of the Meuse river. Some fierce fighting took place during the last months of the war which reflects itself on the Doughboy.
Secondly Fabiodan and FaN have given shape to the famous Colt 1911 which most of you will recognise from the second world war. This was the primary side arm for the Doughboys on the western front.
Some hard months have passed our development, but we are heading strong with team multiplayer testing coming up next week. The game is finally pulling together and we hope to give you more frequent updates.

a world war 1 mod would be a breath of fresh air since we do have a distinct lack of them in this world. keep up the good work and please soon do the battle of vimy ridge.

1. 'Source' doesn't buy games, Valve give a distribution opportunity to a developer to have the game made available over Steam.
2. Red Orchestra on Steam isn't the same as the RO mod. The Red Orchestra devs won a Unreal '2.5' engine licence in the "Make Something Unreal" competition held by Epic.
Holy crap, get a clue.
...Back on topic. It's looking amazing guys, OGRE3d is great to work with and should benefit you guys vastly (although my experience is with MOGRE3D). I was also wondering, could we possibly get any more info on other engines and api's you're using and even some shots of engine tests (renderer functionality implementation, shaders, etc)?
I'll be adding this to my watch list. Keep going!
stewball
