Verdun is the first multiplayer FPS set in a realistic World War One setting. Merciless trench warfare offers a unique battlefield experience, immersing you and your squad into intense battles of attack and defense. Verdun is part of the WW1 Game Series, with the second entry Tannenberg taking players to the Eastern Front.
The game takes place on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918, in one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history. The developers were inspired by the infamous Battle of Verdun in 1916. The game offers 4 distinct game-modes with many historically accurate features such as realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on the real battlefields of France and Belgium.
Verdun key features include:
- Experience World War 1 gameplay: Accurate weaponry with realistic bullet physics, skill based weapon handling, poisonous gas with a claustrophobic gas mask experience, horrendous gore effects, and ferocious artillery barrages
- Tactical squad-based FPS: Unique squad leveling system with distinct squad types and roles
- True trench warfare: Real-time dynamic frontline with momentum based attack and counter-attack gameplay
- Authentic World War 1 setting: Typical WW1 music and style, historical battlefields representing the key theaters on the Western Front
- Challenging game modes: Team-based Frontlines, tactical Attrition, and skill-based Rifle Deathmatch and desperate survival in Squad Defense

Well done, mountaineers! The mountain was conquered many times - overall the Austro-Hungarian defenders won more often than the attacking Italians, but not by as much as you might think. A mountain is a big place, and it's not easy to observe the entire cliff face from above, or to spot individual Alpini against the rock. For most of the event the Italians managed around to win around 40-45% of the time. A very respectable success rate.
On the other hand, it seems that for all their elegant simplicity, rocks are actually not the most effective weapons. Only 1% of players earned the Rock 'n Roll achievement for killing someone with a rock. And considering how many rocks we've seen in our matches, it wasn't from lack of trying!
Don't worry! Ascent will be back.
As with the special modes for Verdun and Tannenberg, you can expect Ascent to return on a semi-regular basis. This won't be the last time you'll be scaling the 'Queen of the Dolomites'!
Community Screenshots
Most of you were too busy throwing or dodging rocks to indulge in any combat photography, but there were a number of shots we enjoyed from the event.
Cinematic action shot by North_Dumpling.

Not Ascent, but a fantastic shot by Wulfess from earlier this year, who has been taking great screenshots since Verdun!
What's coming up?
There's still plenty on the roadmap for Isonzo! First up will be the third new map in the White War expansion, to arrive later this year along with some new weapons. It's not a huge spoiler to say you can expect some more snow there :)
After that we get into the Solstice expansion, which when complete will include two new maps, each one releasing alongside new weapons and a new cosmetic DLC pack. The fog of war hides when Solstice will go live, but rest assured we'll let you know as soon as there's an updated roadmap with dates.
Until next time, soldiers.

I love this game.
If you ever need a idea for an expansion, please think about the spanish civil war. Altough gcould sound a very local conflict with a little public, it was the almost direct predecessor of the IIWW.
It would have a similar rifle based gameplay,with potentially tanks, airplanes, more lighter machineguns and smg. The selling point could be the war of ideologies, where traditionalist, nationalist and fascist were fighting against republicans, anarchists and communist, with a lot of foreigners volunteers; more urban fights; and one of the Wire creators, it's making a mini tv short about the american volunteers. There hasn't been a real fps about this period, except a mod for CoD2.
Cheers!
