Wonder why they never make a WWI shooter instead. Trench warfare, tunnel warfare and if you want an "exp grind game" like everyone makes these days... just throw in the battle at Verdun...

That aside, it's probably easier to design this than a continuous large scale multiplayer. Only two sides and probably more linearity. And of course, no jumpjets. Surely they'll be able to make some reasonable maps. Most important thing at that population scale is to make the capture points and spawning system reasonable and create proper lines of defense.

Enough of Zombie games already!
Enough of the WWII and Vietnam games too, tbh. There were other wars that could be far more interesting...


At least if you made a game about the invasion of Zanzibar, you could actually have a 30 minute round and cover the entire war on a minute by minute basis.


Course... Nobody would pick the Zanzibar team... >.>
