* PistolWhipping: The squad leaders generally have only pistols. If in melee, that's what happens. Chances are, it will be in vain.
* TheSquad: The gameplay is centred around this. Players fight in squads of four. Each squad has some benefits and weaknesses. The right kind of squad in the right situation can turn the tide of the battle, or screw the pooch if used poorly. In general, infantry squads are of two kinds - Specialists and Line Infantry. Specialists will have Snipers, Gas Artillery and two specialist fighters. Line Infantry will have one Rifleman, one Grenadier, and one Machine-Gunner. All squads have a leader called a Non-Commissioned Officer, who calls for artillery strikes and issues orders.

Verdun is a MMOFPS game produced by two independent game developers, Blackmill Games and M2H Games Studio. The setting is the [[WorldWarOne First World War]] in which players fight each other as members of one of the various factions during the conflict. Set entirely on the western front, it tries to recreate the scenario of trench warfare as it was during that time.
The game was in development by Blackmill Games for much of 2014 and was released on the 28th of April, 2015 after a year in Steam early access. The developers are still working on quite a few aspects of the game. A free expansion, ''Horrors of War'', which adds a gore mechanic, as well as new squads, was released in March 2016.
The initial release featured French, British, Canadian and German squads. The expansion added Belgians, Americans and a few more German squads.
The name for the game was taken from the infamous [[TitleDrop Battle of Verdun]] and for the most part is extremely realistic. It is also infamous for being [[NintendoHard pretty hard.]]

!! Welcome to the trenches, soldier! Here's what you'll be seeing:
* ArtisticLicenseGuns: Completely averted. All the guns are as realistic as they come, with gun jams, distance and environmental factors playing a role in determining the efficacy of your shot.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Some shots with some guns can come off as this.
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Averted. The French are among the most useful squads out there, and you're pretty much guaranteed to see some of them in every game. And they have some of the best grenadiers in the whole game.
* NintendoHard: Most of the guns are bolt-action rifles. The slow fire rate, plus range, ensures that it's a mix of skill, luck and a twitchy finger to shoot (and hit) the enemy.
* WarIsHell: Considering that this is the First World War, naturally. The futility of it can hit pretty quickly as you get mowed down trying to climb out of the trench over and over again.
