Line 10:
* [[The Many Deaths of You]]: There are a lot of ways to die in the game that aren't just from gunshots, be it death by bayonet, gas attack or barbed wire. ''Horrors of War'' adds even more ways, complete with your dying soldier pitifully groaning in the ground.
* [[More Dakka]]: As most standard-issue firearms of the period are bolt-action rifles, having a machine gun by default is this.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: This is a game where it's horrifically easy to die.
* [[Obvious Beta]]: ''Verdun'' has undergone several updates over time hand continues to be in development even after being released.
* [[Deadly Gas]]: Poison gas is very much a danger, making the use of gas masks a necessity if you don't want to suffer a painful death. Said gas also conveniently serves as a smokescreen.
* [[Selective Historical Armory]]: Averted. All the weapons available in-game are what would have commonly been available to soldiers during the Great War.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: The developers have done their research, which shows in-game. Whether it's the bolt-action rifles used, the kinds of trenches deployed or even the particular gear soldiers would have had on them at the time. The maps themselves are based on actual battlefields in the Western Front.
* [[The Squad]]: Gameplay revolves around this; simply going lone wolf on enemies is a guaranteed way to die quickly.
* [[War Is Hell]]: In spades, given how ''Verdun'' is set in the trench warfare-laden Western Front, not to mention being inspired by one of the bloodiest battles in the Great War. The ''Horrors of War'' expansion also takes this even further,
* [[Widget Series]]: Unlike [[World War II]]-themed works, there aren't many first-person shooters, let alone games in general that focus on the Great War.
* [[World War I]]: The game covers the conflict in the Western Front from 1914-18.
