Delta got me more exciting than i have been in a long time. Prob since BF4 days tbh.
Same, every FPS has felt a bit disappointing until this one
You’re so right. I hope this game come as soon as possible.
@@MrTrip666 NAH, bf1 was thé last one
@@mathijs1345 BF1 was good, but for different reasons. Bf4 was the last true BF experience with bf premium DLC, and that was guaranteed.
After playing Delta Force Land Warrior, Black Hawk Down, Joint Operations Typhoon Rising/Escalation back in the mid 2000's I never imagined that the Delta Force series would ever make a come back. But here they are making waves once again. Before Battlefield there was Novalogic Delta Force games.
Yeah I was surprised when I seen this
Joint operations ❤ played that game more than bf1942 because the better flight controls, the option to transport vehicles with the chopper or hovercraft etc.
@@SFNL1984 the beauty of that game and other Novalogic games was that you can go anywhere on the map because it was limitless. You could fly for miles and miles and miles...
This is NOT a similar game by a long shot! I played joint ops since 2003 till 2008, and delta force games as a child. This is like COD or battlefield.. with enemy tags and WH.
@@fenrispedersen8935 wh?
I will say, i just dont believe hero character's belong in a battlefield game, but they do look good in Delta and make it much more interesting.
@@MrTrip666 only ability i’d get rid of is wallhack.
@@WorkInProgressX I'm actually fine with wallhack Bow being in Delta. Think they just need to nurf the cool cool-down on it and possibly limit it to only allowing your direct squad and not the entire team to see it. None of the abilities/gadgets belong in BF imo.
No nonsense video as always! I will try this game out as soon as possible. Thank you
The progression issue you brought up with dmz is exactly the reason i stopped after a month. Excited to hear that delta force has some sort of progression.
yeah that's the biggest thing that feels better than DMZ to me, being able to get valuable items out and actually have a use for them is quite a big deal!
Will some of these hero-shooter PLEASE give us the option to play as/show teammates/opponents as generic soldiers??? 4 people in capes looks ridiculous. APART from this, I'm VERY excited about this game actually :D
Bots killed my vibe 100% I don’t care how good ai gets i don’t want to be second guessing if that was a player or what only way I tolerate them is like Titanfall with visually distinguished from real players
I don't think you'll see them very often if you're in a high population area. We just saw them a lot because there were so few people in the test
They were players that joined through the Delta Force launcher, so unfortunately they weren’t bots and thats why there were many more players than what steam charts suggested 😅
But the tech test was Steam only wasn't it? It's weird they all never used game chat either
@@GeekyPastimes It will be the same case for the alpha aswell, with the devs confirming it will be taking place both through «steam and the official launcher».
@@user-bt5ur1pr7r but Im saying I'm pretty sure this technical test was only in Steam, I don't think anyone is playing this version through their launcher
@@GeekyPastimesplaying the game not from steam
Even the mobile test
@@GeekyPastimes It wasn't. I registered from their website and was invited to download their launcher through an external link, not in Steam
I'll get excited when it has the breadth of content that BF4 had.
Every gun
Every variant
Every attachment
Every way to customize
Respect for the subject matter to keep it authentic without having to be milsim.
Im so glad they pit the sig 553/553 in this game. Its my most favorite gun of all time, and it seems like its quite good as well
This game looks cool, but I hate extraction modes, and I hope they wont get greedy and focus mostly on that mode and give us a proper regular MP experience as well as good content added with time.
Hawk ops kind of a stupid name, it reeks of some cheesy Seagal movie. Copying the specialists was also a stupid idea, seeing as they were the most hated part of 2042.
I agree the name is bad, maybe a translation issue, maybe it sounds better in Chinese.
I don't think the specialists were the worst part of 2042, the worst part was that the core of the game was really bad. Shooting felt bad, moving felt bad, driving felt bad, it was ugly, and they made that weird decision to build everything around insane player counts
@@feraligatorade99 Call of duty is a more cheesy name
Black ops - black operations
Hawk ops - hawk operations
Spec ops - special operations
Does it mean something special, nah but it's just a distinguisher
Yeah I mean who cares about stating any good points. Gameplay is what is important not the name and enjoy your half empty glass 👍
12:31 my main gripe with these abilities isn't so much the skill involved, more so how some of them fit in a combined arms shooter. They seem out of place, and the characters themselves as well are out of place. It's supposed to be 2 large armies from 2 different countries fighting (well in battlefield anyway) not two armies made up of the exact same set of characters who have these quirky personalities and quips, but rather generic military dudes not using wingsuits and bows.
I guess the game is supposed to be whatever the creators want it to be
As a former delta force player im so happy to see that this is looking good. 2:27 man this was my biggest appeal of playing black hawk down. The way the guns FELT. Anytime i thought about someone making a new version of this game i always hoped that they would get this part right. Every fps ive played since bhd ive compared this aspect and non were as fun and satisfying as getting a kill in bhd. Black ops 2 was close, for sure. Also the character movements. Bhd characters had really nuanced controls where they were very agile and evasive, i loved that, it was a skill that if mastered would set you apart.
I would've given you three whole Chicken Nuggets if you would've given me your Test Account, but now it's too late...😔
But jokes aside, really looking forward to this. Thanks for the in-depth review 👍
Commenting on this as of the late Alpha test. I have a 3060 and on Ultra. Gameplay is smooth and never suffer any sort of stutter. It seems the dev really focused on having smooth, optimized gameplay with decent graphics. Im enjoying the game, even with the limited maps and modes.
I'd like to see a lot more mixed pve/pvp modes/missions. things seen in destiny, warface, and sniper elite 5. Seems every fps is focused on competitive gameplay. I'd really love to see more mixed/casual experiences.
The only problem I have with this game are the specialists
I'd wait until you try them in the alpha before you judge too much, they feel pretty good and balanced already
@GeekyPastimes abilities aren't really that bad, I can stand them, but I hate the design of operators, I want real soldiers not stylized corny disney characters like in bf2042
@@niezniszczalnychinczyk8701 I agree 100% I hate this specialist bs.
@@niezniszczalnychinczyk8701 man
The movement of COD, gameplay of battlefield and game mode of chivalry 2, havoc warfare is the best game mode I've ever played.
Great news from you and others during the test. It seems like the really important parts, gunplay, maps the look and feel and things that are fundimental to the game that connot be changed have hit the mark. Then things that can be changed will or may be changed by the devs to accommodate the feed back from players overall with what is working and what is not. Considereing this is a Alpha seems quite amazing. Can't wait to get into and see if it takes over COD - DMZ Thasnk for your vids!!!
I do miss full destruction buildings and no hero operator. Look so dumb all is same character operator. In battle field. But so far it look good.
remember in this test there were no alternate skins, since it's free to play I'm sure there'll be a lot more skins quickly
@@GeekyPastimes true i still will give it a try it look good so far.
Only with these clips you can tell abilities are a problem... you've been seing people through smokes for the whole video ^^
It is a good reflex to throw a smoke grenade when you find yourself in a bad spot to ecape or flank ennemies but what's the point of being smart if a nonsense ability can give your opponent a "wallhack" through your smoke ?
but the abilities to let you see through the smoke also prevent you from having any smokes of your own to throw. If you want the recon abilities you have to give up the ability to hide.
@@GeekyPastimes well , because someone decided not to be able to have smokes I have to endure wallhack ? Pretty weak point in my opinion.
And I am pointing smokes here because that's what I saw from your video but I am 100% conviced I could talk about another problem... the fact is, besides of making money by selling skins I really don't get the point of making hero shooters in a non competitve environment such as this BF type game. You're right tho I will see by myself when the game comes out but we saw what happened with 2042...
not even 10 min and i’m already loving the content. dropped a sub for you king keep it up! 💯
It’s a shame they don’t have factions, or operators distinct to one of two factions. Hopefully there winds up being so many different skins for the operators that it just winds up being less ‘clonefield’. Even 2042 managed that later on in its lifecycle.
Guess I just miss BF classes and factions…
as a free to play game I'm sure they'll have a million skins available to buy
@@GeekyPastimes I don’t even mind that, as long as they’re relatively grounded and cool. I really hope they don’t copy the Cod thing and get the likes of Nikki Minaj in there. Christ.
@@UnifiedFilms why does that bug you so much?
@@nahfr. what? Niki Minaj or the factions?
@@UnifiedFilms man f nikki im just talking about fun skins as a whole i dont think it affects the experience all that much i mostly dont buy skins in games but theres always that one cool looking skin sure most of em might be garbo but hey it makes other players easier targets wearing their bring pink skins
Hi! New here and excited to try this game! Great video dude
Welcome to the channel!
Thank you dude!!!
Great video. Balanced opinion. Awesome game too. I haven’t been this excited for a game since the finals and even then they are dropping the ball. This game should be the shock Western devs need to stop feeding big tech, also I’m glad that the game is so well optimised it runs on potatoes. I run a 1060 and it’s above 60fps steady. Companies have to stop making specs high just so they can sell better consoles and gpus. This game proves that unreal engine 5 is a great engine for low end gpus
Most fun I’ve had since the first time playing BF3 on metro map
I don’t think you should be worried. The game is being put out by people who actually care about their product! Stay tuned it’s going to be a banger IMO! The Chinese are her to save the gaming industry. 😂 who would have thought? They usually rip things off and make them ten times worse but for whatever reason the opposite is true with this game.
That’s because this is Tencent game 1 of the biggest gaming company in the world
@@ItchyTrigahFingah CCP saving gaming by copying bf5 . Look at the skulls when you get a kill that's ripped straight from BF5. You shouldn't praise a game company that steals assets for proper game companies. This game sninks off arena breakout.
When all the Pay to win comes out people will drop this game faster than a flaming turd.
@@tobyFOTS they also stole the amoung us sound effects whenever a flag is captured lol. they havent created anything new at all its just a mashup of features, models, animations, sounds, etc from other games but they packaged it in a good way
I am really happy this game exist. Seems like the perfect hold-over until Battlefield in 2025. I need that fix and this looks good. F2P is nice, as long as they don't do pay to win and charge for guns and attachments. But just monetize skins and such.
Hopefully a lot of maps and would be nice with a straight up conquest/domination flag point game mode as well.
To be honest here, the game literally looks like a bf 2042 copy
I could care less about the extraction shooter aspect of the game but the fact it has a game mode more akin to Battlefield makes me actually wanna give it a try.
Competition is always good for customers. If this Hawk ops will be good on release, Dice/EA can't mess up the upcoming BF title.
Yeah I really hope DICE developers are watching this and will play it in the alpha to learn from what it does right
It's EA their greed WILL mess things up.
I'm worried with the rhetoric around the game so far. People are saying "This is exactly what battlefield should have been!" which is just wrong. Battlefield should have never been a hero shooter, and using 2042 as the benchmark is just wrong. I'm worried that DICE will see this and say, oh look, they weren't against the hero shooter aspect! People are so quick to glaze this game that they don't realize it's just 2042 with more polish.
@@jax5683 I think the rhetoric is more 'these guys made it work, and Dice didnt'. It's not that this is what Battlefield should be, it's that this is what 2042 could have been if they had got it right
From what I have heard it does sounds very good...but I am not a fan of attack and defend modes, so I hope the game has a Conquest Mode or something similar.
But I've been here before with CZcamsrs saying the game was good and it turned out to be a turd...but this time the game is free to play.
I so agree about the insane accuracy about the guns for sure.
It makes gunfights much more boring if every gun is a laser
Stodeh said recoil is overrated. I agree especially in casual games.
@GeekyPastimes BFV weapon accuracy was terrible, the aiming should be at least be easier than that
@GeekyPastimes
Hey man, thanks for making a video that is NOT about 10 minutes long and worth about 1 word per minute. It's hard to find decent worthwhile content these days and you have provided. Just wanted to show some appreciation.
Thank you! I try to only make videos when I have something to say
Both maps are so defensively heavy that it's becoming exhausting to play. Ascension specifically is just absurd. Capping the low ground is hard enough, but even if you do, then you got into the mountains where it's even harder. Both maps suffer from pigeon holeing with little opportunities for flanking or attacking the objective from altternate angles. Craked is literally just either run down the main road or cram yourself into an alleyway, both options usually lead to getting obliterated by the defenses LAV.
1. I'm not care at all for the extraction mode .
2. I'm completely 100% agree with anything in the part of the recoil and gunsmith ( im demand this to add or make realistik recoil + slow down bullet speed from ages ) people wake up - vote and suggest in discord those laser beams will make the game extreme boring after the hype wave end most active players will be those who playing Fortnite , Xdefiant ,League of Legends ...
3. Great work Greeky thanks for the quality video .
Looks okay, but it's still hero shooter with Seasons, I imagine full blown life service game with cosmetic shop.
This game does seem really similar to 2042, and I really don’t hate that too much. Even the description of the way that you get xp broken up in four different ways is kinda exactly how 2042 does it. I think the extraction mode being slightly more serious than hazard zone will be fun but other than that this seem super similar to 2042, not a problem because I did kinda enjoy that game
FINALLY someone noticed the issues
it's worth saying the game is still super fun despite these
Novalogic promised this for decades now! I am a BHD green screen pro... looks like game mechanics is similar. I would disagree on weapons however. Let the guns beam from jump! If weapons constantly hot... a week later its not then gameplay gets lost in plating up and shitxzle. Gameplay looked great with lots of players and new graphics! I can't wait
Looks very promising, can’t wait to test it myself. Is there some sort of weapon list available and is a release date for the game already out? Great video as usual btw💪🏻
I'll make a weapons list for you now will post it here as a short or on Twitter.
No release date sadly - just '2024'
@@GeekyPastimes thank you 🙏 I am a bit of a gun geek. Is it like in cod where there are only two or three weapons which are usable or are all of them viable from your experience? Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Here you go: czcams.com/users/shortsb4g5TBkIsug?feature=share
So far every gun I've used has seemed at least decent, if anything they're too good!
It just needs a hardcore cyber attack mode from modern warfare 2019 and it'll be my main game
I'm hyped! I'm sad it was delayed again :(
It's what DMZ, Battlefield , and console players who want a decent extraction shooter, it' gives us what we want....free to play.
So, Activision/Sledgehammer and EA/Dice, really need to get their shit together. But t😅hen again, they've had a good run and should bow out now before they flood shelves and hard drives with more trash. With DF:HawkOps and The Last Decendant , glad Asia's developers are doing killer work.
Thx, I don't agree to all.. but to most of the things u pointed out. I also played it some time in pre-alpha. Thx!
I been worried since they said blackhawk down campaign and nothing about any quick single missions
The Devs of this game have done phenomenal A.I NPC programming. Expect bots to be more aggressive for the extraction mode as compared to DMZ.
Nice video! I absolutely agree with your statement that people just like to complain about the Operators/Specialists, without even playing the game. They just hear the word abilities and get ptsd, because other games handled hero abilities bad
@@erikmueller2651 exactly mate
While I’m excited from the quality especially since bf hasn’t felt good in years but I’m not sure I’m comfortable as a consumer as to who is delivering it and how they’ve gone about making it
you sound like you havent played Tarkov but maybe i can reassure you a little here, Tarkov *also* has crafting timers, and never sold timer skips. they werent 72 hours long, sure, usually they were at most 12hrs, and you COULD upgrade your base to build faster, but there's at least precedence for this idea without it resulting in timer skips.
also the flea market is something Tarkov had as well, so if you're interested in how that ended up working in practice once theres a larger playerbase and a full live service running, you might wanna look into that.
Glad to see someone not immediately put off by the hero aspects. Video was very informative, as someone who enjoyed DMZ quite a bit (played after all the additions) I look forward to this game
overall, the game is fun. The Extraction Shooter for me is still very much a bit odd and I don't know what to make of it really. Gameplay is fun, gunplay, audio, mobility is all fun. However, the maps we have gotten have been a bit too small for my taste (though I'm mostly used to DMZ lately, after the whole EFT debacle). In short it's too early to say if it's going to be any good or not, but I think it has some great bones and has the potential to be something great if the developers listens to what the community wants
Im not worried. I like the abilities, will give a winning clutch.
Some great points but i have to disagree with the gear score match making and wanting MORE recoil.
The risk of fighting much higher geared players is what makes extraction games fun. Its a challenge and leads to more ways to play than just shoot everything u see. You have to judge wether the gunfight is worth the risk.
As for the recoil i think keeping everything realistic in the sense that the shoot where you put the dot then drop off and add visual recoil keeps keeps the game competitive and promotes higher skill players while also being accessible to lower skill players.
Looks good, hopefully the game will offer some smaller gamemodes (conquest small, rush, even domination) or at the very least some good infantry maps for conquest/breakthrough etc. BF2042 really lacked in this.
Just discovered you a few days ago through JF. I'm excited to try this game out but I'm ngl, I'm one of those that is 'complaining' about the hero system. I'm open to it if done right but the thing I hated about BF2024 is that every hero or however the fck they call 'm, could take any gun.. medics taking ammo boxes, snipers taking medkits etc.. like wtf man. I've been playing BF since BF2 and it just doesn't feel like BF anymore and it breaks my heart. I haven't seen a lot of ganmeplay yet so could you please answer me this: There are heroes.. fine.. can they all take any gun with them? Or can they all take medkits, ammo etc? Do you have to level up each 'class' or is there just an overall leveling system? Great video man!
No, each operator has a set of guns they can use, like in Rainbow Six Siege, they share some and have others that they can't use to balance them. Only the healer characters can take medic crates or ammo crates as far as I can tell, the engineers have the rocket launchers, the recons have the spawn beacon. You don't have to level up each class, but you do need to level up each weapon.
Thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel!
Still waiting for acces for the beta today even i signedup months ago
The technical test is over now and the alpha has been delayed. They haven't said when it's going to happen
well there are people comparing delta with battlefield but when they know delta is the original content 🗿
I really feel like this has very little in common with the old Delta Force
the biggest issue my friends and I are running into is the fact its locked to 3 people
This game is looking great from a gameplay perspective, but often we are disappointed. I just hope the game is an all around good package. It does look great. Even if it does have a little bs, the gameplay does look like itll make up for it.
I also would like to see more gun recoil. Then adding attachments and tuning gets them to how you like it. Also requires you to learn the gun pattern a bit.
Man i want to Play that! Battlefield is my Teenager hood, If you call it that. How Long do i have to wait? Take my Money!!!
sbmm in extraction is needed but we've already seen in call of duty multiplayer how it can be too strict and make progression feel meaningless.
If everyone also has the exact same level of gear than you then there is no difference between having the best or worst gear
The unreal engine is probably why the gunplay feels good.
I did notice how low recoil the whole game was. There should be some more upwards trouble instead of shaking around the same spot mostly.
Something that has always REALLY ground my gears is the reverse realism balance in video game guns. Devs completely ignore the advances in technology and training in favor of some weird imagination of what is "balanced".
From a real world perspective.
SMG: Superceeded in almost every context other than anti-civilian/criminal scenarios like private protection and SWAT teams. The caliber, penetration, and physical profile of the weapon has been replaced nearly ubiquitously by SBR's with intermediate cartridges like 5.56 and 5.45.
AR: The primary arms choice of every military and increasing majority of law enforcement. Why? Because it is THE modern jack-of-all-trades weapon. Recoil even under full auto is easily controlled with proper stance and grip, effective range and accuracy is competitive with everything within unaided human sight range, there are builds that maximize effectiveness at either short range or long range, and they are incredibly customizable for a given task.
Battle Rifle: Has all of the advantages of an AR with the tradeoff of weight and ammo capacity for increased power and range. These weapons rival the old DMR and Marksman rifle categories in terms of power and range, but can effectively be used in CQB and close contact scenarios like an AR. Sure, you can't fire full auto laser beams at the greater ranges but slowing down is simple and effective.
Sniper Rifle: Deadly and accurate, these are special purpose weapons designed to push extremes in combat range. You might survive a body shot if you have excellent armor, but it will still put you on your ass and likely from so far away you wouldn't know from where the shot came without your battle buddies working together to figure it out. Not a "quick-scope killfeed" kind of weapon, but even then there are examples of "scout rifles" that are built around that very operational mindset.
Shotgun: Terrible effectiveness against armor, but incredible effectiveness against flesh. Typically used in CQB situations like trenches and buildings, but can effectively reach out to the range of most engagements found in modern video games no problem. A ton of special use ammo types. A great secondary weapon for specific use cases.
LMG: Heavy and powerful variant of the AR that sacrifices CQB potential for providing incredible support value for a squad of troops. Difficult to control unless mounted on terrain or lying prone, the whole point is power projection from a defensively advantageous firing position. Sure, most rounds fired are missed, but when 1-2 can be a kill it's enough to provide a tactical advantage for every ally using something lighter and closer ranged.
From the video game balance master's perspective.
SMG: The king of cool and meta master of tight spaces. Pistol cartridges somehow do more damage than intermediate or full-power rifle cartridges and at a faster rate. Also gives you roadrunner legs for some reason. Only recoil and some magic damage falloff past the distance of a large room can approach the pretense of balance. In some games, you will see one in every player's hands.
AR: The 'meh' option for people who want to engage farther than an SMG and don't like sniping. Boring, but somewhat effective.
Battle Rifle: YOU CANT HAVE RANGE, POWER, AND RPM, THAT'S AN OP PERFECT WEAPON! We have to make these impossible to control in full auto and abusively weak compared to sniper rifles. Honestly no one should pick these guns, but we'll put them in the game anyway.
Sniper Rifle: The children are complaining about camping, lucky 1-shots, and not being able to fight back. Let's make the guns effective only against really stupid targets that stand still, run out in the open for far too long, and make it a gun only for the highest aim skill players out there. Oh and make it glow like a floodlight when they aim with it too. That's nothing like real snipers? Well we don't care because BALANCE, forget unique use cases.
Shotgun: SOMETHING needs to compete with the SMG, we will just flip the damage per shot and damage per second numbers. Spread has got to be wild so that it can't be used outside of CQB. We can't be bothered to make actual armor mechanics so let's say one shot to the head, two shots to the body, and you have to stuff the barrel inside the target's character model to get that quick of a kill. Otherwise it will take the entire magazine. Can I get a clap on the back for inventing the close range sniper?
LMG: It fires lots of bullets real fast? Let's make it weak, slow moving and aiming, and hard to control. What's an SMG? No we already have that category and they are the BEST.
It's because these games are meant to be fun, not realistic
@@GeekyPastimes I see this argument a lot, and it doesn't actually make sense. Real guns are much easier to shoot IRL than they are in modern video games, with the possible exception of LMG's and pistols. These games act like we are asthmatic teens that couldn't bench 70lbs, while giving us the movement of 6th generation jet fighters.
All I'm asking for is guns that work as well as what's out there. If anything it'd make FPS games more approachable, not less.
@@murdurmuffin7872 but it's not about being easy, it's about making it just challenging enough to get a kill that it's interesting. If the weapons are too good the gameplay gets boring
@@GeekyPastimes Oh I whole heartedly agree... except for the last sentence. Before the era of never ending balance patches, FPS was about more than selling new gun skins and unlocking attachment trees. It was about perfecting the actual play. Counterstrike, Halo, OLD Call of Duty and more... they all had weapons with unique identity and 'realistically adhered' to their role. The fun, and challenge to climb, was the player's tactics and skill. Metas were situational depending on each combat encounter within a match, not dictated for the entire game a season or three at a time.
The two main outliers in the FPS genre were the Sniper and Shotgun, primarily because devs at the time didn't have the best technology and techniques to represent them well. Remember playing the old Battlefields (3 and earlier). Remember playing classic Slayer at a LAN? There was plenty of fun to be had back when guns functioned as expected. And it had nothing to do with some, pardon me, imaginary Realism vs Fun axis. The attitude you describe, fun is 'challenging to get a kill' is exactly what has driven the widening skill gap among playerbases. It's been the advent of SBMM and 'pro-gaming' taking over the industry instead of being a hobby for everyone.
I had a whole other section but I don't want to rant. You should get a chance to respond.
My only gripe is the style aspect of the operators.
Abilities are cool, ive always loved the realistic military setting being mixed with futurism to create stuff that slightly borders the hero shooter area. Like how soldiers in Advanced Warfare were superhuman thanks to their gadgets.
What i dont like is that instead of a soldier with cool gadgets youre an operator, complete with quircky voicelines and all. I know they want something marketable, but dont they realise no one remembers a single COD operator besides the ones from the campaing like Price or Ghost, or that one girl with huge tits?
My issue is healing someone and my character being like ''aww someone scraped their knee? ill patch you up buddy''. Even if you manage to make actual charming characters, its a huge game, having 30 of the same dude spouting the same lines is way worse than having a bunch of diverse but symilar looking soldiers.
Otherwise this game is liteal god tier, best gunplay, practically best graphics, actually well optimised, a variety of gamemodes. NO SBMM thank all the gods for all eternity. Just the most refined variatio nof the cod/battlefield formula. Really looking forward to it
I'm pretty sure there's heavy SBMM in the extraction mode at least. When you play with new people on your team the enemies are much easier. I guess it'll be in the other mode once there's enough players for it to work
Support should have ammo not a medic just to hide ,self heal and grab ammo, not a fan of Ready brek men and it looks abit like that cod game with the vehicles. Buying and selling gear on ebay for other players ? not for me
The menu are strage so many page with diff challenge and reward, the biggest problem in this game are vehicle and the menu that's it no bugs (except one with the reward unlock that was fix)
And please add the possibiity to change weapon in game
"Bad Company 2" good times
Unfortunately the servers are down...
I honestly wish they would just not do the specialists everything else looks great
I get the same feeling i got when BF3 came out
Hope we get more games like this
DMZ doesn't even deserve to be mention that much, had no loot/no progression hardly extraction/shooter
The gunplay feels great because they follow in the footsteps of Infinity Ward, unlike Treyarch and Sledgehammer
Thanks ! Nice
Waiting on the extraction mode.
crafting timers serve no purpose for gameplay
a game making you wait for any timer is a red-flag that they're planning on shafting you with mtx to reduce or eliminate them.
No building destruction? Then it's nothing like OG battlefield
It does have building destruction in the mode that's like Battlefield... Not every building, like Battlefield
As someone that grew up play the Delta Force and Battlefield series. I feel like this game is going to be a disappointment. It seems like it's going to be something that already released, many times now. After seeing a few videos of the game, I get the overwhelming sense that I already played this before and it looks like every other multiplayer FPS game that I already play(ed) that doesn't have 'ARMA' in the name.
Biggest issue for me is the fallout/skyrim engine they using. Floating arms and a weapon is absolutely fucking ridiculous. And the devs should be barred from creating anything ever again. When I look down and see floating arms only it’s a pass. If I wanna play Skyrim/starfield/fallout I’ll play a Bethesda game
This is literally an early tech test before the alpha, I really wouldn't worry about stuff like that. No need to be harsh on developers
Yrah, Unreal 5 is SO UNREALISTIC smh
Can I ask how you feel about the TTK , would you say it was maybe a little quick or just right ?
In the big team mode it felt great, in the extraction mode I think it's a little too fast. Armour breaks too easily and is too hard to repair, so once your armour is gone, you'll be killed in one or two shots
I’d love to see you play some Tarkov
Bro what is he talking about this game looks more polished than bf2042 currently! 😅
I HIGHLY disagree with the gearscore part. A MASSIVE part of the enjoyment of extraction modes is the fact that you could go in with a shitter loadout and leave with something amazing because you killed highly geared players and vice versa. The idea that just because you spent a ton of ingame money on gear means you should have any kind of guarantee is goofy to me. It's more that it increases your chances of survival, not the guarantee of it.
@@TheBrick534 yeah I didn't say it should guarantee survival, I said you should be up against people with similar gear, so it's a fair fight.
I also think if you go in with nothing and then randomly get amazing gear you've just skipped the whole progression, everything else would feel crap after that
@@GeekyPastimes Coming from a Tarkov background, a lot of the joy AND pain of the extraction game mode, imo, is the unpredictability of it. You could load into a raid with a bunch of geared out Chads and get dumped on or load into a game full of timmies, have the great gear, and come out on top. As for the progression concern, you're able to lose the gear just as easily as you found it, which adds to that unpredictability. I've had raids where I went in, scooped some amazing loot, put it on, load into the next and am dead within 30 seconds. That's the beauty of extraction shooters and systems that minimize that experience kind of detract from the whole thing imo. At that point, it's just a glorified battle royale.
@@TheBrick534 100% agree. Extraction shooters are the most fun when u have the risk of loosing everything if u don't play smart. U have to pick your fights and think about risk vs reward. If everyone is just running around with the same level gear, u take all the risk out of the raid.
@@GeekyPastimes thats not an extraction shooter its just a level tiered battle royale mode at that point. extraction shooters are meant to be unpredictable, meant to keep you on edge because when you come across a real player you wont know what it is they came equipped with and you only know what you have, so unless you die without seeing the enemy or within the first bullet they send to you the first time you engage with them youve gathered intel, maybe your wounded maybe they are now the chess game is on. Its not mindless you gotta approach things based on the individual scenarios. a gear score based match making would just destroy that entire premise of the genre and make any sort of engagement with real players completely boring and redundant. If i go in with crappy armour but with a high level gun and powerful ammo and am able to take out a chad fully kitted out my gamble will have paid off, if i die at least i didnt lose high tier expensive armour.
Im worried there are "dmz players". I wasnt aware of their existense.
Nice review, this game is what BF2042 should have been(you nailed on this), it shows how badly managed EA is, the only thing I disagree on is the delay, I understand a game being delayed, but delayed indefinitely, that is fishy, to say the least, it already happened for XDefiant now this game(XDefiant disappeared for a year coming back without any progress, it even showed an update for people that played the closed alpha, and got delayed again, at release it was worse than what they showed when the first gameplay of the game was revealed), I hope the game world didn't get into heavy bribing(like Big Pharma or Politics), text not showing or things like that are not a huge deal, if compare it to how BF2042 or BFV state at release, for me the game in this state is fine, and the developers could fix it and update it as people play it on 3 platforms, something tells me and I predicted that for XDefiant, that we will never see this game after a year, god it's not that I hate COD, I think MW2019 and WZ1 was a masterpiece, it just that we're playing the same game for 5 years, and now that Microsoft bought ACTIVISION, if my theory is true we will be playing IW8 engine FPS games for 10 years, especially if the next BF is a fiasco(and there is a solid probability of that happening).
I think we'll hear about the alpha in the next week or two, they just said they found more localisation issues than they realised (there's a bunch of UI elements that only have chinese text) and the matchmaking didn't work the way they wanted it to.
@@GeekyPastimes Thanks for the response, keep up the good work :)
I’m not a fan of extraction shooters, do they have a type of conquest game mode
Alot of content for a free game.😇
Yeah there was so much to do even in the test!
Good Video, but gear matchmaking is absolute trash.
I like how Operators look like real operators not a walking clown or Nikki Minaj. I hope this game succeeds.
Strange take this is the game BF2042 "should've been" when Delta Force is arguably worse than 2042 anyway.
how so?
I think it's much better than 2042
I couldn't find a single way it's better so far I'll play more again today.
Delta Force Hawk Ops need a BR mode 1000% I will switch to Delta Force Hawk Ops if it's having Br mode
No
No offence , but this looks actually like Call of duty mixed with Apex Legend which I hate it.Battlefield 2042 looks and plays much better
Ah did you play this? If not maybe withhold judgement until the alpha comes out. It really doesn't feel anything like Apex at all, the abilities aren't anywhere near as consequential. I guess there's a touch of Call of Duty in it. I can say it feels much better than BF2042 in every way, all the Battlefield creators I was playing with seemed to think the same
@@GeekyPastimes I hope , I will give my full opinion when I Try this game
Just gonna say 1 thing "ITS FREE"
Strongly disagree with matchmaking based on gear. If youre always going to be on a semi-level playing field, then why strive for better gear?
To make you stronger against the AI. When you're in crap gear the AI really is a threat, and the bosses can kill you in 1-2 shots with their weapons.
Plus in the brackets with higher tier gear, you'd get better loot from players you kill, so make much more money
When can we get this game on steam?
Its just another multiplayer FPS. It can only be so good.
I wonder if people said that about COD 4 or Bad Company 2 or Halo 3?
Weapon feel and animation is a carbon copy of mw2019 and the rest bf 2042. Honestly the game i wanted battlefield to be 😂
I wouldn't quite say a carbon copy, there's something a bit more punchy about these guns, but it's so hard to describe
