#Verdun battlefield series

They're both going to play completely differently and I'm sure lots of people (just look at the thread) know this. I don't think the Verdun community is made up of sheep that are just going to flock to BF1 just because it's also set in WW1. Now this may sound harsh, but these comparison threads really piss me off. And honestly, I imagine the same community who play RO2 and Insurgency also play Verdun. Because they're well designed games that stand out from the crowd and people enjoy. Both of them are shooters set in similar timespans and locations as a ton of other shooters on the market. Look at Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm or Insurgency. The only reason people are making a big deal about it is because it's Battlefield. Everything in the game has been tailored to recreate the grim atmosphere so typical of WW1, from the immersive interface and war torn maps to realistic sounds and voices that evoke the feeling of actually being there in the mud covered trenches, peering out over no man's land in search of the enemy.Verdun is a mighty fine game and it's no secret that another WW1 shooter was bound to come around at some point. Uniforms have been recreated to the tiniest detail, the weapons are modeled to exact references and the maps use realistic props and terrain layouts.
