amazing to think one and only one of them is still around. Sucks that he is knocking on death's door. also sucks that no one cares about WWI. I dont think I've played any WWI games ever.
[Feb 2,2010 9:25am - autisticretard ""]

repost from a few weeks ago. MSD said there's no tanks in wwi :(
I love WWI.
[Feb 2,2010 9:48am - sever ""]
lol wut? tanks originated from WWI. I dont see why there aren't any WWI games, because in certain situations it was far more intense and brutal than any other war in human history.
[Feb 2,2010 9:53am - SkinSandwich ""]
Yup, tanks started in WWI. Here it is. The British invented the tank during the great war. A lot of the tank crews got very sick in the tanks due to carbon monoxide. The tank went a whopping 4 MPH.

this guy is great. i hope he gets his wish.
[Feb 2,2010 9:54am - arilliusbm ""]
Yea man. Trench warfare + mustard gas.
I love the old dog fights with the biplanes too. Anyone that flew an open cockpit biplane had balls o steel. That shit was intense.
[Feb 2,2010 9:55am - arilliusbm ""]
Leonardo daVinci invented the tank. Fact!

No parachutes either. If you were shot down, there is no backup plan haha.

Red Baron. Great mystery surrounds his death. I remember something like how people believe it was a stray bullet from the ground that got him. He was untouchable.. How many planes did he shoot down? 50? 100?
Now we have an epic pizza in his name.
[Feb 2,2010 10:01am - dreadkill ""]
when i was in college, someone broke into our place and stole a bunch of stuff, including our tv and all the red baron pizzas i had in the freezer. i was more pissed about the pizzas than the tv.
[Feb 2,2010 10:04am - arilliusbm ""]
Hahaha Ken
I just looked it up.. Red baron was credited for winning 80 dogfights. Read about his death, epic shctuff.
[Feb 2,2010 10:07am - arilliusbm ""]
Someone needs to make a solid wwi movie. A story about the red baron would be sweet. But oh no, he's German, that's bad. We can't make movies about the enemy.. That's so not PC!

There were no tanks in WW I.

Tanks were not invented until the Korean war against Japan.

Jeez, what was I thinking?

There were no tanks 250 years ago.
[Feb 2,2010 10:18am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
Exactly. WWI was 250 years ago. Do the fucking math people, Jesus.

Hitlers face was actually made of tapioca pudding. Hitler started the very first black metal band back in 1917 after he recovered from a gas attack. Himmler was his filthy slam slut. Fact.

Best WWI game:
The Trenches MOD for HL1. Noone plays it anymore but it was popular for 6 months back in 2003.
[Feb 2,2010 10:22am - sever ""]
Are you calling the seven years war WWI? Fair enough... but if that's how we're gonna do things, we're up to world war 5 now.

I played it back then, that shit was great and about as realistic as you can get with the HL engine.

French n Indian War was the first time tanks were used. How do you assholes think the French King Bridge got built?

The concept may have been around before but they weren't actually invented until the late 1970's during the Korean war.

stanks have been around since the dawn of time.

"Tanks were developed and first used in combat by the British during World War I as a means to break the deadlock of trench warfare."

Tanks were invented by DaVinci. Jesus Christ.

I'm pretty sure the UFC invented the tank.

That's all a lie. If there were tanks in WWI there would be real pictures of them. Tanks weren't around then. Why is this concept so hard to grasp?

a good WWI movie is "The Trench". Takes place entirely inside a trench. You dont really even see the sky for the entire movie. Except for the last 30 seconds or so where they charge over the top of the trench and then all die. oh shit i gave away the ending.
The Lost Battalion is pretty good too.
