Verdun
About
Verdun is an indie multiplayer squad-based FPS developed by M2H and Blackmill Games.
Gameplay
Verdun is set in the World War I period and is inspired by the French Battle of Verdun. The game is historically accurate, featuring multiple WWI weaponry, uniforms, and equipment. To display the horrors of war, the game also features a detailed injury and decapitation models.
Most of the matches of Verdun feature 32 players, yet it is possible to up that number to 64 in a private Frontlines mode match.
There are four game modes in Verdun:
The main mode is Frontlines, in which two teams fight over the sectors of an enormous and authentic frontline maps. Depicting the typical trench warfare of WWI, the players attack and counter-attack each other in turns. Each player is a part of a 4-player squad, with each squad having its own perks. 12 types of squads are available. Upon joining a squad, the players have to choose a class available to their squad type.
The Attrition Warfare mode is basically a common Team Deathmatch. Each team spawns with a number of tickets that deplete when a team member dies. The first team to lose all their tickets loses the match.
Squad Defense is a cooperative horde mode when a squad of players defend themselves from waves of opposing forces.
In Rifle Deathmatch, the players participate in a free-for-all deathmatch, where every player fights for themselves. Players can purchase attachments for their weapons after killing their enemies.

Verdun reviews and comments
«World War I» is trench warfare, where the main tactic is to shoot at the enemy and take cover, rather than launching direct attacks.
The main game mode is «Frontlines», where players advance the front line and fortify positions.
The high-quality map design should be noted: Argonne Forest, Arras, Flanders, Picardy, Vaucouleurs, Vosges, and others. Each map has its own unique atmosphere.
Each side has its specialized squads:
«Entente» - Canadians, French Alpine Troops, French Infantry, British.
«Central» - German Alpine Troops, German Infantry, German Shock Troops.
This game is an excellent example of balance, combining hardcore gameplay and realism.
