Tannenberg also offers bots for its offline mode and the main game mode, Maneuver. (Along with access to creating private matches offline) Which gives a decent amount of support for single player.
As for these private matches. How does a guy with zero friends get on one of those?
Let me in, you elitists! :)
P.S - I don't think we'll be seeing many bots for long. I've seen it on a lot of Top 5 lists in anticipation of release. These are the same lists that had Post-Scrotum around #9, or #8. I'm sure I speak for the whole community when I say, we would love to have you onboard.
I am considering buying Battlefield 1 on PS4 just for the campaign, but I would never waste my time on-line in Multi-player. If you're looking for a great multi-player experience this is where you want to be. It never gets old. :)
It may not be feasible to buy both, right now, for you. Also, a deals a deal, right?
Hope to see you in the community, soon. You won't regret it. :)
You sound like your hearts in taking advantage of the sale. I know what it's like to have to carefully select your titles, and wait for sales. I don't want to steer you into disapointments. I've found enough of those on my own (Bethesda ports, Post Scriptum). Double-downer when gaming on a budget.
They are just games, though. It sounds like you really want to go with Battlefiald 1. It would be cool if you posted your feelings on B1 vs. Tannenberg, when you pick up this title.
Good luck with your decision. There'll be much more elements to this game when you come back. They haven't even started on the beautiful gore factor, additions to current maps and new maps. factions, weapons, etc. Expect huge things down the road from Tannenberg! :)
Final assumption - If you played Verdun, you wouldn't think twice about picking up this one. It's going to make that game look like "Pong" by comparison.
Hope to see you on the field, soon. :)
Don't buy battlefield 1 for campaign, it's 5 missions of recycled mechanics where you are by yourself killing about 5-8 people by yourself. Not worth it. Battlefield 3 and 4 actually have a real campaign.
And I can tell you I prefer Tannenberg over BF1... - BF1 has better graphic and gameplay is more smooth, you ve got planes there, more weapons... BUT it just ISNT WW1 .... Its smth between WW1 and WW2 - but its closer to WW2 when you ll play it you ll see it - almost all players use automatic or semiautomatic weapons... It far away from reality...Not only that weapons, but that damage too... Sometimes it takes rly long time to kill smbdy, even when you have some semi-automatic rifle - you need atleast 3 bullets to body to gain 1 kill.. With autoweapons its much much more... - its like half of magazine sometimes...
On the other hand you ve got Tanneberg (or Verdun)- graphic isnt bad, its pretty nice IMO, but not so impresive like in BF1... there are any cars, any planes, any motorbikes you can use... BUT its the most historically accurate WW1 game I played... Around 70% of weapons are only bolt action rifles..! - and what we know about WW1 ? - there were mainly bolt actions rifles, automatic weapons were pretty pretty rare there and only higher ranks owned them if so...
Usually hit means kill - its pretty nice and simple and I like it - on long distances when you hit enemy to the leg you need sometimes 2 hits... So, its more about aim, and not run and gun and sprey enemies...
If you want accurate WW1 experience during playing, go for Tannenberg and its more HC game...
If you want more arcade game (not HC) , but with pretty nice graphic and smooth gameplay, go for BF1... _ BUT you ll never have historically accurate experience there - because as I said, almost all kiddos run there with auto weapons, so... its more WW2 than WW1 rly... :/ (they did it for money of course - kids want to run and spray... In Tannenberg - bolt action mainly - boring for kids - you need precise aim and you ve got shot by shot slowly - not spraying...) :D
Watch some vids and make some decision, but if you rly want to see WW1 atmosphere and you like bolt action rifles - Tannenberg is your winner...
All this doesnt even matter since this game is abandoned by its players. Dev's seem to thing this is because there werent enough pistols or uniforms but they might be wrong..
@Bram - sorry you feel that way, but we've been doing regular updates addressing a range of issues that people have submitted to our support site and that we've found ourselves, not only adding new content. We also have another update on the way.
The main gamemode is a much more linear knock-off of Battlefield's Conquest mode. Coupled with the somewhat interchangeable setting and lack of unique gameplay aspects found in Verdun, it makes for a much less unique and engaging experience all-the-while offering veterans and regulars from Verdun absolutely nothing they can't experience, or have a better experience, with Verdun.
The weapon variety is horribly lacking. There are only Bolt-Action Rifles, Carbines (also bolt-action) and Pistols. There's grenades and the odd melee weapon as well, of course, but they don't count. Aside from that fact, a lot of weapons in the game are no fun to shoot, and feel generic and unspecial - the Mosin family for example, or the Romanian M1892. I'd argue the only fun weapons, other than the tried and tested German weapons, are the Austro-Hungarian straight-pull rifles, since they're the only ones that offer anything unique to the bolt-action formula.
Squads like you found in Verdun are pretty much non-existant in Tannenberg. The only real difference between Squads are the weapons and uniforms they use, and there's even less of a distinction between the individual classes of each Squad because they pretty much all use the same loadouts.
Verdun's squad-levelling system in which you level up your squad by playing well with friends is also completely butchered. In Verdun, you were rewarded every 25 Squad Levels with passive skill upgrades. The rifleman, for example, would get much less rifle sway, the Aufklarer would get extra bayonet range, and some grenadiers would get a longer grenade throw range. This is completely absent from Tannenberg, which instead decides to give you interchangeable upgrades right at the beginning, while only offering different uniforms and XP boosts (because high level players need XP boosts, right) to high Squad-Level players. Another unique element from Tannenberg's parent game taken out back and euthanized.
Then there's the BOTs. They're really bad. REALLY bad. You can only ever do so much with BOTs in your multiplayer shooter, and they're only really there because the developers knew the playerbase would be way too small to sustain the 64 player matches required to sustain them (which makes me question why they even bothered with the game anyway).
Let's just put it this way: I hypothesize the human brain gets a tiny fraction of the endorphin release when killing a BOT compared to killing a human Player, because there's also that little part in your brain that is constantly reminding you that you're not confronting an equally dangerous and reasonably intelligent human Player, but rather a braindead line of code that can't even one-shot you. The positive feedback you get from the game is reduced, the overall game experience feels less intense and exciting, and it leaves you feeling bored by the end of it.
Aside from the overall quality of the game, the slow progress made during this supposedly Early Access title rivals that of DayZ. What's been added since the game started it's open beta? One map, one new squad that brings weapons over from Verdun, and three pistols. That's unacceptable, especially when you consider the game has been in beta for almost a year now.
So overall? No. I do not reccomend Tannenberg whatsoever. It's a failed experiment that, while good on paper, fails to engage and entertain the majority of the playerbase to the point where even Verdun's minute playerbase dwarves the size of Tannenberg's. It's a shame, but I feel I've illustrated my points as best as I can.
