Even worse than youtube comments 
We need a magic duplicating machine to duplicate modders (mappers) Iron Europe is my last hope for a good WWI shooter and sadly at the moment I need a lot of hope .

Don't forget modelers, and texture artists, and coders. I actually had two modelers but they decided to stop responding to emails, which leaves me alone for modeling. And after about 6 months since the start of this mod we still have barely anything to show for it, and only two other members that have been with me since the start.
The first two or so months were planning what to do and what not, but I really don't know how we manged to go the next three months accomplishing barely anything. I feel like I've been sitting on my *** for too long wasting other people's time.
With that aside I hope to have something of a preview within a week or two.
Is it just me or has there been alot of WW1 games announced recently? Two for consoles, the Trenches 2, seems like WW1 is going to be the new WW2, but it'll take just one game done right to break the ice, and I'll be damned if it's not Iron Europe.
I'll probably regret posting this but I don't care.

Concept is great, but it's doomed to failure. It's purely a console game ffs. "Console shooters" and "tactics" don't belong in the same paragraph unless it's a comparison of one against the other. You can't have a slow paced, intense war on consoles designed for kids with ADHD. Don't believe me? Search for "halo online" on YouTube and knock yourself out. See you back here when you've become classically conditioned to automatically stab someone in the face whenever you hear "NOOOOOB!" screamed nearby. That is the target audience.
Do you have any idea how sad I became when I heard that UT3 mods will be playable on PS3 and possibly on X-Box 360 too? If I understood correctly, the PC and console gamers could join same servers. Brrr...
Rather than running through Teutonic castles with chain guns or through French villages with BAR's, you'll be running down trenches with bayonet-fixed SMLE's.
Its kinda like inflation and unemployment, WWI history and sensible game development are inversely related. That's why mods like The Trenches never worked out in the long run, people who know the proper history can't a fun game with fun maps to save their lives. I was looking forward to Over the Top, but it never even made it to launch.
Eastern front could be interesting.
In terms of trench warfare, troops equipped with primarily nades employing infiltration tactics were fairly successful. From what I understand, the high command didn't like it, and eventually defenders caught on.
Anyways, I'd bet the nade spam would be worse than Basovka on first spawn.

A realistic game for a console is a waste of time.
No matter how 'realistic' you get it, the controls will bork up anyway.
And why do they show so many hate for the bolt action rifles? ^^
Bolt rifles rule!

Bolt action rifles that jam! *insert incredulous smiley face here* i don't suppose these people realise that a bolt action rifle is one of the simplest and most reliable firearm ever made, i've never had a rifle even think of jamming on me because of the mechanism (split cases from old ammo is the only thing i can remember happening)
Don't forget Verdun! http://www.verdun-online.com
We're gonna bring the first first person shooter game set in the first world war to the pc!
It's a pitty that because of the lack of 2D artists we havent been able to put up some news lately, but we've got alot of weapon models done. Engine wise we've set up ragdoll physics and normal and specular mapping...
