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.

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:

Latest News: Mapping TT Wants You!

Official The Trenches mappers like Hawk and gotrick weren't always on the team. After dedication, persistance, and demonstration of a great degree of both talent and character, they proved themselves worthy of the title of TT Development Team members. There's no better feeling to have a concept or physical work make it into a game that hundreds and thousands of other people will be playing.
Here's your chance to have that feeling! Mapping The Trenches, our development run project to cater to the needs of our third party mapping community, is offering you the chance to have an official map. Note that The Trenches has been reviewed by many members of the online gaming community as well as a handful of European gaming magazines!
So here's the scoop:
Think of some innovative ideas and turn it into a bsp file! There's no set deadline but the contest will end around the end of spring. Make sure you keep the following in mind:
-Historical Accuracy
-Trench maps should be in the "tt" format, not "tp"
-Management of r_speeds
-Enough spawn points and spawn exits
-Uniqueness
PM HotelSecurity (me!) if you need any textures. So long as the requests are not too great, we can possibly make some for you. If you use other's textures, be sure to ask them for permission of use. Plagarism is immediate and unarguable means for disqualification: please, use YOUR work!
Best of luck to everyone and we hope to see you on our mapping forums.
In other news, 1.1 is still being developed. Bear with us guys! I know we have not been posting many screenshots or even text posts in the forums. We want the development to be a secret to everyone who has been waiting for the next Trenches release. Inevitably some people will say that we're really making no progress and just stalling. Let me assure you from a few beta testing sessions that things are progressing along quite nicely and remind you that similar people said our 1.0 version would be a complete failure. Thousands of hits, hundreds of new forum users, and dozens of new servers later, we're still here. Thanks for your patience and your constructive input.

In reply to ceacar99.
Thats why their new leader is a historian.if you were on the team you'd know how much work they put into making this thing real. HotelSecurity writes 8 page documents just on small pieces of the mod for historical accuracy.
Looking foward to its release Jman - dont forget my modeling offer is still up if u wanna take it ;)

"i cant wait for this mod to get released. world wars are just so fuckin tight! if u like this mod, read the book called All Quiet on the Western Front(also a movie,) its a great WW1 book and its all about everything in this mod"
even though that is a great book i sujest you do some plain research as well. however realistic the book is it wont teach you all that is ww1. anyway i have been watchin this mod for a while now and i can say that it will be a great mod for those who have low end machines. the old leader, j-man made it clear to the public that this game will work on all systems. also it isnt set in early war, they decided to set this mod in late war so they can get all the cool guns in.
I played the trenches for a lil while a bit ago when it seemed like there was no work being done to update it. Now I'm re-downloading it - last time I played there was practically no one playing it. I'd like to see a version for source as well...we all know they'd get it done sooner than the guys over workingon SommeyValley. lol
im serious this is gon be the shiznitz!!!
lol
the whore watches ...
even though im workon on americanwarfare, i cant wait for this mod, HURRY THE HELL UP! I WANT TO PLAY!
i cant wait for this mod to get released. world wars are just so fuckin tight! if u like this mod, read the book called All Quiet on the Western Front(also a movie,) its a great WW1 book and its all about everything in this mod.
hey, -=M@ty=-, if you would, i'd like your msnm contact, icq #, or aim s/n if you got one, the reason is about you modeling for mi-mod... you posted that you would like to model for us? well, im responding to that, thanks!
