Hello, everybody. My fellow TF2 fans, players, content creators, models, workshop people, the whole community. I come today before you all with one idea that could work, somewhat. I want to know if anybody here is willing to start a new era of TF2. Not generally the main theme of TF2, but something you could put in the alternative modes. You know what I'm talking about? The mode with a bunch of modes that most people don't play.

I mostly play 2Fort, I'm going to be honest. You know, capture the flag 2Fort. In this case, capture the intel. But I want to see WWI-themed modes. Characters, maps, guns, everything. I want to see a whole new world of cosmetics and guns. Now, how to keep them within the WWI era, I'm not sure. Demoman I can see, kind of. The grenade launcher might be a bit of a stretch. And figuring out the sticky bomb might be tricky as well.

Heavy is simple, Pyro is simple, and Soldier is simple, kind of, except for his RPG. I'm not positive. Scout, I can see. Scout can get a new weapon called the Double Barrel Shotgun if anybody's heard of it. Maybe a full-length shotgun. I'm not too sure. I want to see the iconic Trench Gun, which I think is what people call it. I'll look it up later. As of right now, I'm talking about the Trench Shotgun. It's a shotgun that annihilates everybody within its range. But this is a game, so it won't do that much damage. It's kind of like the base shotgun, just with more spread.

Heavy could have a machine gun that's based on World War I. Now, he's Russian, so I don't remember any Russian machine guns during World War I. But I know for a fact we have British machine guns, like the Maxim, I think. I'm not positive.

The game mode is the most difficult part for me, mostly because I don't know how a World War I-themed mode would go. But I just have one idea. And this idea is... Capture the Flag. Kind of. It's more like Capture the Trench. We will have, let's say, four points, all within a semi-straight line. The difference is, that there isn't a primary point you have to capture first to unlock the other points. You can go to this point or that point.

You can all-out attack any point. The only way you can respawn within an area you capture is if you capture two points close by to make it more of a base. That way, you can't just capture one point and start spamming the enemy. Want some turns, angles, ups, and downs to make it more difficult. Once you get into the trenches, the trench gun becomes very deadly.

This has been going on for a very long time now. I just want to see this idea come to life. I've been playing for years now. Although my current account only goes back to 2019, this is not my original account. I've been playing since around 2015 or 2016. I've always loved TF2 and I'm a huge history fan. A World War I-themed update would be amazing.

I hope to see a discussion about this idea, with people talking about character designs, cosmetic designs, gun design, map design, and maybe a new mode. I want to see more trench coats. We do have the Torturer's Trench Coat and the Trench Warfare, which are cosmetics for Soldier and Pyro. But they would look good on everybody. Scout is pretty American, so he would have something like Soldier, who is also American.


here are some ideas to build on
## Character and Weapon Concepts
- **Scout:** Double Barrel Shotgun or Trench Shotgun; bolt-action rifle.
- **Soldier:** WWI-era mortar or rifle with bayonet.
- **Pyro:** Flamethrower with WWI design.
- **Demoman:** Grenade thrower or mortar launcher; landmines instead of sticky bombs.
- **Heavy:** Maxim machine gun.
- **Engineer:** Early 20th-century sentry gun; telegraph-like teleporters.
- **Medic:** Vintage medical kits and syringes; era-appropriate Medigun.
- **Sniper:** WWI sniper rifle with iron sights.
- **Spy:** Period-specific revolvers and trench knives; gas masks and trench coats.

### Game Mode: Capture the Trench
- **Objective:** Capture and hold trenches.
- **Map Design:** Battlefield with trenches, bunkers, barbed wire, no-man’s-land.
- **Respawn Mechanic:** Capture two adjacent points for forward respawn.
- **Features:** Gas attacks (gas masks needed), artillery strikes, tunnels for movement.

### Cosmetic Ideas
- **Uniforms:** Authentic WWI uniforms with rank insignias.
- **Headgear:** Helmets, gas masks, officer caps.
- **Accessories:** Medals, bandoliers, trench coats.

### Map Ideas
- **Trench Warfare:** Famous WWI battlefields like the Somme, Verdun, and Ypres.
- **Urban Warfare:** Bombed-out towns and cities, indoor and outdoor combat.
