Who And When
"The Trenches" is a World War I mod for the Half-Life engine. Included in our first release are the British and Germans, two large players of the "Great War". Players will be able to fight for their homelands with six different weapons on many locations on the Western Front with two different kinds of gameplay.

Game Play
Rush over the top with your teammates or stay in your trench to pick off enemy troops in "Trench Capture" gameplay (tt) and cover the advance of your army to in territorial push (tp) play.

Special Features
The Trenches will have some features that will make this an even more unique mod than it already is. Some of these features (for the first release) include:

-Custom Faces (no additional files needed!)
-Built in MP3 Player with Exclusive Tracks
-Realistic ambient sound system
-Two classes for the Germans and British Imperial Forces
-Manual "game action" system
-High damage variables
-Anti-"Cheap" measures against spawn camping, absurd weapon reload times, ect.

Multi-Country Team Select
You can choose from 6 countries that were involved in the First World War. Only two will be available in the first release, but we do plan on more.

Allied Forces:
British Empire

Central Powers:
Germany

Well, it is time for some new news on this page, don't you think? With Morphew unable to update the site regularly, I will be filling in a bit to keep you all informed on our situation.

We are currently still working diligently on getting 1.1 released, and we are honestly closer than ever. To hold you all over for a bit, I figured I would make this news release a 2-part facet.

One is the release of tp_city, made by our mapper extraordinaire Hawk. It can be downloaded here or you can browse on over to the Downloads page and get it there as well. Remember, this is a custom map for The Trenches 1.0b.

Now to the other part of the post, 1.1 media. While we have been fairly skimpy with the media on the front page, we have been posting more and more on the forums. I figured I would share a few of those pictures with you as well as one never before seen outside a few select people. Here they are:

tt1.1 ad6 tt1.1 ad5
tt1.1 ad4 tt1.1 ad2

Remember! The shots of 1.1 should be considered as work-in-progress. The content shown within is subject to change before release.

Hi guys,

I've gotten tired of not being able to reliably find games for old Gold Source (GoldSrc, HL1, Half Life 1) mods or Source (Half Life 2, HL2) mods, so I made a discord about just that. I am also trying to make this place an informational hub. I'm trying to centralize and unite the multiplayer mod communities for all of the various multiplayer mods out there. We play a mod of the week every Friday/Saturday.

The Trenches is an option up for voting on mod of the week right now!

Check us out.

I got to play this game back in it's hey day I guess you could call it. It was not very populated even back then, but it was fun. Felt like the Battlegrounds in a sense, but still held to it's own merits. Had this game been fully realized we could of had true trench warfare with whole squads rushing over the open field as a wall of bullets were fired to stop them. Or mortar rounds, gas attacks, tanks even could of been included in some form or fashion. What a shame it was not meant to be. Anyone still play this game though?

Did someone say "SERVERS?"
Here's one IP: 213.91.124.242:27026
The server uses V1.0b since the 1.1 is hella buggy

I've also made an exe file to act as a standalone so u can play the game without having to move files
Here's the link: Mediafire.com
the server is added in this "standalone"
