Verdun: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[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, by adding gore and more graphic deaths.

* [[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.
