Red Orchestra 2. The only other populated one that I know if is DoD, which is not realistic at all. And the new WW2 mod for Arma which I can't remember the name for. Ro2 is your best bet, though. Goes on sale pretty often.

Why is RO2 the most realistic?

When was the "typical WWI" starting to get usual? (A lot of trenches, artillery barrages, going over the no man's land etc)

The armies at the western front started to dig in around the end of the first year of the war. So around fall/winter 1914.

NO. GAVRILO PRINCIP. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!1!!

The armies at the western front started to dig in around the end of the first year of the war. So around fall/winter 1914.

They dug in September 1914. So yeah, I'd say they got used to the trenches or adjusted to them in around Late 1914/Early 1915.

No, the Serb just shot. Austria then decided to go to War. Well they had to, otherwise no one could have taken them serious anymore. But that happened anyway lol

Asking who actually started WW1 is asking different people what their favourite colour is. There's a lot of different opinions on who or what did it, and it is a very complex situation. And al though the shooting of Franz Ferdinand certainly had impact, a lot of factors that played along went back way further than 1914.
