Tannenberg vs verdun game9/28/2023 This hurts the atmosphere the game drives for, which consists of blood, mud, and screaming. You lose details on the model the further out you are from a given object which means most of the targets you’re shooting at are non-descript claymen. This applies to the environment as well but commendably, these locations look similar to their real-world counterparts. Its only weakness is the graphics, which have been downgraded compared to “Verdun.” It has really good looking character models and rifle designs but also a really short render distance. The guns are heavy, hit hard, and fire slow, especially the entrenched machine guns, which are capable of mowing down dozens of charging infantry. Though the gameplay is slow, it’s still engaging and even deadly. The engagements are dynamic, from forest skirmishes to rushing or defending flags. Entrenched machine gun nests in particular are absolutely devastating if you’re on the receiving end. Each shot takes a while to aim to shoot, but each shot could be death, so a gunfight can end pretty quickly. You fight mostly with long bolt action rifles. With this in mind, the game plays much slower for it. This game aims for historical accuracy, as its Steam page reads, “With uniforms recreated to the tiniest detail and weapons modelled to exact references.” When playing online, the game holds 40 players with bots making up the difference. Whereas in “Tannenberg,” the teams fight to capture and defend flags in order to control the battlefield. In “Verdun,” the battle took place along vast trench lines, where each side attempts to attack and defend. Right now, let’s focus on the question: How does “Tannenberg” differ from “Verdun”? But this is something I’ll get into later. Tannenberg covers the Eastern front of WW1, although it doesn’t play as fast as its trench rushing half, “Verdun.” This is for a few reasons, console limitations being the main cause. They were both developed by Blackmill Games and published M2H games. “Verdun” was released in 2015 and “Tannenberg” in 2017 on PC. “Tannenberg” is a part of a two-game package, “It” and “Verdun,” portraying the Western and Eastern fronts of World War 1. What’s even more obscure, are the tales from the Eastern Front. It had a few offshoot movies and a few video games, but it is largely overshadowed by the Second World War. World War 1 is an obscure era in history. Correction: This article was updated to change the image.
