It looks pretty freakin awesome, at least animation wise.

I am looking forward to this game.  Ive kept my eye on it but so far they've shown very little. It shows some gun animations and a video showing the rain ,a map, and Binocs.

Just waiting to see some actual ingame footage. Not just a map and binocs.

Yea true I've followed it on indiedb for like 6 months and I still think they haven't announced all the factions
But looks good nonetheless

Looks great animation-wise.

However, some of the German uniforms look terrible. The textures are pretty good while the actual stylistic choices are bad. For example, slate gray instead of field gray, and the officer having an uncovered pickelhaube. Not to mention the minuscule mauser pouches.

It's in develpment, that's why it looks like that.

Yeah, hope it gets fixed up. Otherwise looking good. Other simple fixes are recruitment posters in the trenches (a bit redundant, yeah? Haha!) and more support beams in the underground sections.

Have they made it better now? Because the last time I played it when it was in Alpha or something it was pretty terrible and similar to cod with everyone just sprinting around on a small map and shooting each other. It didn't really even try to simulate ww1 and was basically just a generic cod-fps with WW1-era guns.

They have improved a bit. But its mainly like that because no one actually plays as a team or a unit. Which kind of fucks it up. I still find it extremely fun. I love the maps though.
