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

Dear community and visitors!

Today I write to break the silence which overwhelmed the homepage for a long period of time. I don't want to babble around much so here is where we are:
The whole team is working hard to get as much into The Trenches 1.1 as possible. But unfortunately time is running away for us because we have some kind of deadline untill everything has to be implemented.
We recognized that it won't be possible to make a full The Trenches 1.1 release which means we have to make cuts to our previous plans. Some features get cut and many simplified. I've tried to compile a list where you can see what is planned.

* MG gunner class added
* Officer class added
* Artillery strikes added
* Gas attacks added
* Gasmasks added
* Flare guns added
* HMGs and LMGs added
* Pistols for officer class added
* Climbing added
* Map overviews added
* New Weapons added: Luger P08, Webley Revolver, FEK, Webley and Scott Flare Gun, Hebel Flare Gun, Webley and Scott Automatic, C96, MG0815, Vickers, Bergmann, Lewis
* Voice commands added
* Maps removed: tp_lost, tt_attack, tt_cliff, tt_hill, tt_trapped
* Maps added: tp_fromage, tp_fromage-night, tt_ardennes, tt_arras, tt_artois, tt_cote304, tt_retreat, tt_sumpf, tt_wald
* Fixes for known bugs (e. g. helmet camming)

I hope this gives you a little overview of what you can expect from 1.1. There still might be stuff cut (most likely the heavy machine guns due to technical issues) or added (e. g. maps which are not yet finished). We'll see what we can do.

For those of you who read the post untill the end I have a little reward. The deadline is reached in 4 weeks. We don't know how much work we can get done afterwards so we try to work as hard as possible until then. Please keep patient. And don't ask for a releasedate. We will provide media of the new stuff again in coming news posts.

I wish you the best of luck for the year of The Trenches 1.1 release.

And they dont even mention the airplane fights, mountedmachineguns and soon, so forth, to be released in the 1.1 version!

I don't really care if I can chance the face of my charekter, I would rather see gas attacks and "dogfights".

Bring something new.. And update your moddb with the flare animation video!
