Verdun is a squad-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game set during World War I.
The game includes historically accurate World War I weapons, authentic uniforms and equipment, detailed injury and gore modeling, and maps based on the real battlefields of the Western Front.
[3] Verdun is a realistic, tactical squad based game set in the trenches of World War I that can be played with up to 64 players (with 32 on each side).
NCOs can typically carry a self-loading pistol or revolver and melee weapons such as sabres and trench clubs.
Other members of the squad typically use plenty of bolt-action rifles, plenty of bayonets and melee weapons, grenades, revolvers, semi-automatic rifles, machine guns, SMGs depending on the type of unit and the real-life availability of those kinds of weapons to them and such.
Suppression affects player aiming and vision, by violently tilting the camera view to simulate a soldier's bobbing and weaving out of fire or reactions to almost being shot.
The players can choose to join one of the two historic sides of World War I, the Central Powers and the Triple Entente.
Staying true to the typical attrition warfare of that time, both sides attack and counter-attack each other in turn, so the player will be forced to defend each captured sector of trenches.
Verdun was met with "mixed or average" reception according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.
The game features authentic World War I elements, including weapons, uniforms, and maps inspired by real locations.
