Verdun was enjoyable when I played it, but I felt that it could become stale and repetitive after a while…the muddy cratered no-mans land doesn’t offer much tactical variety.Red Orchestra Ostfront 41-45 offers a first-person perspective on the Russian front during WWII. RO2 is more dynamic since you can advance under the protection of cover and suppressing fire and try out varied tactics. Most of the gameplay consisted of laying flat against the earth in a non-conspicuous area and scanning the enemy trenchline with your bolt action rifle for any movement. So I suppose it has some historical accuracy in that sense. As soon as you peaked over the top of the trench you were dead if the opposing team even partially knew what they were doing. I played Verdun, probably 8 months ago, and while it mimics the high lethality of RO2 it lacked the excellent map design and basic things like cover (besides crouching in trenches). Part of the fun of RO2 is figuring out workable tactics in that ultra lethal environment. There were ways to adjust to that in RO2 like slower, more deliberate movement, using the environment and cover as much as possible, etc. Haha pretty much, reminds me a lot of Red Orchestra 2, where its just not fun to run for 30-60 seconds into battle only to die as soon as you are out of cover from 1 bullet.
