I Played Every WW1 FPS Ever

Imagine how much the Verdun series would have benefited if all three games were put into one

I must say, having recently bought both Verdun and Tanneburg, I can safely say that I've had the most fun I've ever had playing an FPS. It's such a breath of fresh air playing a game and not having to worry about an anime cosplayer 360• no scoping me out of nowhere. I just wish I could play against more players. I'm super excited to get Isonzo after these two bangers.

I played Beyond the Wire when there was a free week and hundreds of players, and had an ABSOLUTE BLAST. Just sad that the game dies instantly once those free weeks are over. And yes, the bots are atrocious.

One of the reasons that I love battlefield one so much is that it can feel like you are in a war, intense barrages of explosions and gunfire, the screams and shouts of soldiers. It actually makes me feel immersed and like I’m in a war

I can not get over how amazing BF1 is even today

Isonzo is probably my favorite. Lots of different maps and playing in the mountains is insanely fun. The holdfast WW1 mode is also a lot of fun.

I think BF1 and the WW1 series (Verdun, Tannenberg, and Isonzo) are the only ones with any staying power, which kinda sucks because the others are somewhat creative. The problem is, WW1 is much harder to make a game about: too authentic and it's boring or frustrating, too many liberties and it's not WW1. Also, for the WW1 series, you went with the Belgian M1889, the Romanian M1893, and the Mannlicher M95 stutzen, which I point out because those are all my favorite guns from each game lmao. Just a neat coincidence :)

It's sad Isonzo isn't appreciated as it should be. I have about 100h on it, and it's a really fun game, that gives a good experience of an otherwise mostly ignored theater of war. The maps a pretty diverse, the weapon selection is well crafted, well balanced and the gameplay is quite easy to grasp. You have a number of classes you can take, which all have different attributes that actually impact the battlefield (building defenses, spotting from afar, calling in artillery, etc...) and pushes cooperation between teammates. I played verdun when it came out, and later when it died down, it's really not the same experience but you can sense that Isonzo really learned and expended on the lessons from the previous games

For me Verdun, Tannenburg, and Isonzo captured the WWI feel to a T. The pacing the authentic true to life details, etc. It made you feel like you were actually fighting in the many battles of the Great War. The WWI mod for "Day of Infamy" called "Screaming Steel" was a great immersion also.

I'm sick of the obsession with multiplayer. They make a nice game, it's too niche to keep a playerbase going, it dies down to only organized clan battles or nothing at all, rinse, repeat. And I keep seeing new games like this being announced. Why? I do like Isonzo a lot though.

You are missing a few if we include alternate history games. Codename Eagle, Iron Storm, Bet On Soldier, Darkest Of Days, Necrovision, and Necrovision Lost Company all come to mind. Also you may want to have a look at the modding scene as well.

Isonzo, Verdun and Tannenberg are all made by the same developer and i enjoy all 3 games so much, i usually just play it in custom matches against bots

Beyond The Wire was by far the most fun for me when it was still active, since it really is just Squad in WW1. Great audio, incredible details in the gun models, and a really intense feeling when playing against dozens of players inside super crammed trenches or small villages. Sad to see the approx. 15 players that still play this game only on saturdays, tho. Like trying to ride a dead horse... Tannenberg and Verdun are classics, but I doubt the series will ever be majorly successful since the playerbase is already split between three reasonably similar games (with Isonzo). BF1 was the most arcadey but also by far the most popular, so that goes to show what modern audiences want in a multiplayer FPS. One of the reasons Beyond the Wire dies, I guess. Holdfast was super fun and increadibly chaotic when hundreds of guys on both sides just ran into each other, but the players eventually migrated back to the classic linebattles since it is a little less hectic than the MGs and artillery of the WW1 Frontlines mode.

i still regularly play bf1 with a friend every week. And even tho i moved from pc to ps4, its amazing. i wish they would make more new maps though... or make a sequel.

To get immersed when playing Bf1 I just tell myself that it’s not the actual WW1 but some steampunk version of WW1 in a parallel world.

i played verdun since it was playable on steam. At the beginning of the games life when you had loads of full servers the gameplay was insane, especially when they increased the max playercount on a server. The hail mary pushes, the frantic respawning to releave a foothold in the enemy trench, working out the perfect path through nomansland, getting ungodly amounts of kills with a forward deployed mg08/15, comebacks from your last line of defence or even slugging out a victory by capping just one trench that changed hands 10000 times already. In those times Verdun oftentimes felt like a 30min cs 1v3 clutch

Beyond The Wire has such amazing sound! What are you talking about? And while the game had people it was very fun, and it felt realistic. The only reason why i had to uninstall it, is because i prefered Squad and Post Scriptum, and i couldn't occupy that many space on my computer.

The WW1 Game Series is definitely some of the most fun FPS games ive played in a long time. I love the bot modes in them too, my favorite is definitely Verdun

Just a few things, 1. OWI was just the publisher they didn’t release they just recently bought it and have only released 2 updates so far under their jurisdiction, one the bots for the short coming of the player base and a hotfix. 2. The weekends have play sessions hosted by the community in the last weeks we had around 70-80 players at one time anyone is welcome and they are usually around 1pm EST. 3. Bots, are a short coming release by RSI team and not OWI, and they are piss poor, OWI in 2.0 will be releasing a major update and fixes to the game since majority of RSI left the team.

Now for every modern World War II FPS out there: Hell Let Loose, Post Scriptum, Enlisted, Battlefield V, COD Vanguard and WW2, World War 2 Online, Red Orchestra 2, Forgotten Hope 2, and Darkest Hour!
