Verdun: Difference between revisions

* [[Highly-Conspicuous Uniform]]: French soldiers tend to have uniforms that are glaringly blue. Which is [[Truth in Television]], given how this more or less happened during the actual Great War.

* [[Hollywood History]]: Averted. The game goes through quite a few lengths to show that there's a lot more to the Western Front than just static trenches. And proceeds to show said lengths in all their harrowing glory.

* [[Imperial Germany]]: One of the playable factions in the game.

* [[Invisible Wall]]: Similarly to the ''[[Battlefield]]'' series, going out of bounds is treated as a sign of desertion and eventually, insta-death.

* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: The British/Commonwealth sidearm, the Webley Mk. VI.

* [[Scenery Gorn]]: The Western Front is as desolate and brutal as it is a sight to behold.

* [[Selective Historical Armory]]: Averted. All the weapons available in-game are what would have commonly been available to soldiers during the Great War, such as the Lee-Enfield, Mauser or M1911.

* [[Shotguns Are Just Better]]: In the confined spaces of a trench, they're especially useful. So much so that there were those in real life who thought it was too barbaric.

* [[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.

* [[Yanks With Tanks]]: The US military also shows up, albeit as "Doughboys" befitting the era.
