There's a reason that specific genre is hard to find.

There's a Half Life mod called "The Trenches" that nobody plays. In Flander's Fields is a WWI mod being made for HL2.

dont know about you, but that sounds fun to me. if done right with the right dramatic musics, effects, and stuff, a WW1 charge could be pretty epic. ever play Call of Duty's Russian campaign? The red square mission is my favorite in the whole game, its done so well, that even though you are supposed to stop and talk to a sergeant, i keep charging along with my fellow comrades and see how far i can get. imagine what an intense melee combat mini-game a talented developer could make out of storming a trench?

to the topic creator there is a WW1 game coming in 2008. its unreal engine 3 powered i believe and it sounds pretty awesome.

its called "To End All Wars" and is for PS3 and Xbox 360. keep an eye on it.

While it would be cool, the average charger probably wouldn't make it out of the trench before his head was blown off. Those lucky enough to make it out of the trench probably wouldn't last five feet. Trench warefare is the dumbest idea in a long line of dumb ideas. With my luck, I would probably be laying in the trench with my head splattered behind my corpse.

I played the trenches a long time ago, it was like just like DoD 1.0. The levels weren't trench based, it was just like dods maps.

I've always been wanting a WW1 game, but I have yet to find a good one :( Cool to see that there's a HL2 mod on the way, and another using the Unreal engine. I didn't know about either of those!

The closest thing is 'Ironstorm' where there is a premise that WWI (or is it WWII?, but I think it's WWI) went for 70 years and is ongoing. Cheap as chips now and comes recommended.

Agreed. I'm not sure I fancy that idea either tbh.

I've waited my entire gaming life for a quality dig your own grave WWI sim. There is simply no finer battle in the history of man than this mud soaked orgasm of death and privation. A huge mapped god view rts would be great. Sort of stronghold type characters meets codename panzers map style would work perfect, thousands of men in hundreds of trenches you can build on your own to defend and advance as either side until the rivers run red. Get to work!
