Honestly, for me bolt-action gameplay is the most fun gameplay. Kar98-time is the best of times followed closely by MP40 time (not even a wehraboo, these guns just feel so smooth to shoot) & then knife time. Static defense with bolt-actions in things like Invasion is just extremely fun to play and the best thing in game for me.
Which makes me think, why not make a WW1 campaign? If there was any game that could pull it on a satisfactory level, it’s probably Enlisted. Once bayonets are properly implemented in-game, one could add the (already present in-game) ability to build machine-gun nests for setting up fixed MG08s and Vickers in maps.
The classical image of western-front trench warfare and assaults could easily be depicted in Enlisted with modes such as Invasion (and with the other modes too) - it could go like this: take no-man’s land, take 1st trench line, take forward command center, take 2nd trench line, take final command bunker (it would work marvelously in Assault mode, with counter-attacks, too). There is already some trench-fighting in-game especially in some Moscow maps and it is really fun. Things like laying barbed-wire & such, plus several bolt-action rifle models, are already in-game, so it would be quite easy to make such campaign. Some exclusive maps could include fort attacks (somewhat like D-Day map) & such.
It is something more unique and I would personally be more interested in playing such a campaign than, say, a Pacific campaign. Such Pacific campaign would probably face several issues anyway with balancing the factions (because it & the weaponry *wasn’*t balanced and it can’t be plausibly balanced in game - there is just no way to make-up for the fact that the Japanese did not have SMGs and semiautomatic rifles like the US did - they had a few, almost proto-type, SMGs late in the war and absolutely no semiautomatic rifles, while the US standard infantry rifle was the semiautomatic m1 garand).
Vehicles wouldn’t be so overpowered in such campaign (and can even be scraped from it altogether, giving an option for players who don’t like them in the game). Artillery would need to be revamped for that campaign though (after the excessive nerfs to it in the latest patches). Maybe add some sort of artilery turrets and make it a “3rd (or the only) vehicle option”.

I only agree partially with this.
Japanese campaign will be fun as hell. Arisakas are all you will need.
WWI seems like it would really fit the gameplay of enlisted.

See, you’re already having fun. Everybody will love it! And then test, and adjust things, hear the community. Shotguns would be a high-level weapon in any scenario, though.
Arisakas and Banzai because it will be suicidal! 
I would probably enjoy it as I love playing with bolt-actions, but, I mean, people like the Germans didn’t just sit idle when they saw the Soviets with their SVT rifles. They captured and used them & instantly set out to copy it and make their Gewehr 41 and Gewehr 43 rifles
The japanese made a modified version of reverse engineered Garands. Premium squaaaad.
There is or was a FPS out there with Bolt action only it was interesting because everything was even.
WW1 would suit enlisted better for me and imo overall.
Tanks will be very skill based and vulnerable and planes won’t be really a trouble for infantry but would still be rewarding I’d like them to explore WW1 as option overall.
Preferably Germany-Russia.

So Federov autmatic rifles vs MP18’s then?
I can already see the C capture zone in the middle of the no man’s land and lewis gun available to every trooper.
it will provable have other theathers that the WWII, WWI is not exeption, but i guess they will one day do Vietnam, and other stuffs, still we will provable won,t be wearing masks that time. because will take time to the dev full explore WWII, so they need to increse the expasions so people keep playing this awesome game. i know it because they got the same policy in war thunder, it started WWII and now we got some nice cold war tanks and so on.
As much as a WWI mode will play well in Enlisted, I doubt they’d do it. Which is a shame.
