True story,i have lots of friends who play RO2,Insurgency and paly verdun as well,an myself as well. Originally posted by InfidelWaffle:Honestly I don't see this as a problem.
There's no reason the devs would want to make their game play similar to their larger AAA-developed competitior and they've said they won't. They're both going to play completely differently and I'm sure lots of people (just look at the thread) know this. I don't think the Verdun community is made up of sheep that are just going to flock to BF1 just because it's also set in WW1. Now this may sound harsh, but these comparison threads really piss me off. A useful general guide to the battlefield is A Historical Tour of Verdun by Jean-Pascal Soudagne and Remi Villagi.
And honestly, I imagine the same community who play RO2 and Insurgency also play Verdun. It was reprinted in 1994 by G H Smith & Sons, Easingwold, Yorkshire, England. Because they're well designed games that stand out from the crowd and people enjoy. Both of them are shooters set in similar timespans and locations as a ton of other shooters on the market. Look at Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm or Insurgency. The only reason people are making a big deal about it is because it's Battlefield. During the Second World War, the French Resistance used the buildings here as hideouts.Verdun is a mighty fine game and it's no secret that another WW1 shooter was bound to come around at some point. Inside the commandant’s house and living quarters the traces of wall decorations can still be seen, with decorative borders towards the tops of some walls. There are the remains of living quarters, a shop and other buildings created for entertainment. Its purpose was to create somewhere for German troops to relax and try to forget the war when they were rotated out of the line. It is a German experimental concrete camp, almost a mini village. Today you can see the battered landscape and the white posts that are laid on the site of where houses once were.Ĭamp Marguerre: Is unlike anything you will have seen on the other First World War battlefields of Europe. By May 1916, the houses and shops were in ruins, and throughout the summer months the village changed hands 16 times. Must-See Sitesĭestroyed Village - Fleury: Before the war, the village of Fleury was home to around 400 people. You can stay in a room overlooking the River Meuse, and its location means you can easily stroll around town to explore and eat out. Sophie’s Great War Tours stays at Les Jardins du Mess, a lovely modern hotel with fantastic facilities.

Anyone that books a private tour with Sophie’s Great War Tours has the services of a full time chauffeur from pick up to drop off. You can either hire a car or book a local tour so that you can easily get around. Once you are in the region, you will need a car to get around. If you are starting from France, it is possible to take a train from Paris to Verdun.
If France could no longer fight, Britain too would be unable to continue the fighting and Germany would become victors. The Battle of Verdun, 21 February-15 December 1916, was the German Army’s plan to destroy the French Army, to “bleed her white”. It is what I call a very physical landscape. What people love about visiting Verdun is that there is so much still to see, and it doesn’t feel like too much has changed in the last 100 years. In the Germans’ nine-hour opening bombardment on 21st February 1916, they sent across 2.5 million artillery shells! While nature tries hard with the help of time to reclaim the landscape, it is understandably irreversibly changed. The statistics that surround the First World War’s longest battle are almost too staggering to believe. They can perhaps be seen most clearly across the battlefields of Verdun. The scars of war are left upon the landscapes that we visit on a First or Second World War Tour.
