What the hell? Thanks for reviving a dead thread.

YEAH GENERAL E

DEUCEBAG

When we think of WW1, we think of grainy black and white footage. So I think the drab colors of the terrain and the sky tend to give it a WW1 feel.

WW2 reminds me of tanks, fighter planes, bombers etc. Since none of these vehicles are in the game (yet!), the part of my brain that says "WW2" doesn't light up when I play this.

SHUT. DOWN. THE TOPIC.

Silence plebian!

Requesting this thread be closed!

Arbitrary Interjection: ignoring Noire

Annoyed recitation: bump

if this game is based of ww2 physics is based on the wizard of fucking oz!!!

Don't necro threads dude.

dont call me dude dude

Just shut the fuck up and close the fucking topic.

those who don't care about the topic, be quiet and just ignore the topic.

Did this thread really need reviving?

In an interview Ben said "It's not modelled after a
specific war although there are some Vietnam influences (the namesake
of the game). I'm keeping things a little abstract because it gives me
more freedom when adding features, and gives players more freedom with
their imagination."
There now shut up about the date, does it really matter in this game anyway?
EDIT:(looks at other comments)Holy crap people stop yelling at the guy who made the trhead no ones forcing you to read it.

Want it to be ww1? Skin pack. Want it to be the civil war? Skin pack. Want it to be modern-day middle-eastern warfare? Skin pack. We really don't know what exact war it is, so just use your imagination. And, don't get ticked when somebody has a different theory as to what war this game took place in.

Hey afro samurai, did you notice that this thread is 3 fucking months old?

Why do people hate this thread so much? Christ, this had potential for a serious discussion, yet everyone acts like there's only one right answer and everyone else is an ignorant heaten.

Anyways, you should know that WWI was basically TRENCHESTRENCHESTRENCHESTRENCHES, plus a wide usage of the rifle.The fact is, that this was a heavily defensive war: each time a side tried a serious offensive, they got their shit slapped back to their trenches.

Germans and Allies took turns to break their heads against each other defenses. And that's what, for me, makes this game feel like i'm in ww1, specially playing Pinpoint: every time a team rushes, they get pwnd to dust by constant rifle fire from trenches and towers. And that's why it also reminds me a lot of the russian front in ww2 and zerg rushes

actually, this game is set in 1 CTF. Yea, first year of it being with capture the flag. Its a generic but unique FPS that we all play. Does time really matter? You want ww1, go mak a ww1 skin. Want it to be a space battle? Make some astronaut skins. Its ace of spades, simple, unique, and modifiable. We love it, so why change it?
