If you played that 1918 mod for BF1942 that right there shows that a WW1 game would work. A lot of the maps for the game aren't trench warfare. There's a lot of movement to them. Even if the maps are not histrionically accurate they don't have to be. People would still buy the game just for the fun factor. True there weren't many weapons in WW1 but you don't need a shit load of them. Using riles is just fine. If you played CoD 2 the game is still fun using bolt action. If people really want to use a machine gun then they can run around with one like in the mod. Like I said the game doesn't have to be true to life. It just has to be based off o the war and be close enough to it like the mod.

Well, operation metro prepared them to develop a good no mans land map.

It is. It has one side attacking and the other defending. It's basically the same setup.

Well, operation metro prepared them to develop a good meat grinder* map.
