![]() There’s also instructions, commands and observations to be yelled, though sadly these are selected by controls far too fiddly to be of any actual use. Tannenberg encourages teamwork by having squad spawns be by far the easiest and most effective method to return to battle. It’s vital that the squad works together, as just one or two shots are enough to put anyone down in Tannenberg, uttering some very convincing screams and moans as your avatar crumples to the ground. Each four player squad consists of complementary roles an officer to command, assault and long range specialists for combat, and a support to provide ammunition. In contrast to the predominantly ‘everyone for themselves’ chaos of an entry in the Battlefield series, Tannenberg attempts the Sisyphean task of getting people online to work together as a team. Sadly, the end result isn’t entirely successful. This is a game that attempts to bring movement and momentum to the Verdun formula, whilst also retaining the attempts at realism. Neither game is a fast-paced action fest, instead providing a slow and methodical combat experience, but whilst Verdun became bogged down in repetitive trench warfare, Tannenberg goes in the opposite direction. They also both take tremendous risks with their gameplay choices, attempting to offer a more historically ‘authentic’ experience than their genre rivals. Both games share a bleak colour palette, each hampered by antiquated visuals and elevated by killer sound design. ![]() Tannenberg is the follow up to the earlier Verdun, and the similarities are clear to see. Vast distances had to be crossed by both forces, resulting in a conflict where the victor was often decided by decisive tactical manoeuvring, and it is this strategic element, of utilising tactics to out manoeuvre your enemy, that forms the gameplay foundations of Tannenberg. Unlike the static and relatively unmoving trench warfare on the Western Front, there was far more troop movement to the east. All these settings - and even more - can also be set later during the match by using the commands explained below.The Eastern Front of World War 1 is an ideal historical setting for an online tactical first person shooter.
