can you ask them to unban me
I have a computer ' but I don't have a clue what I need to do to make it be able to play this😥 If i give you the stats of it could you tell me what I need to buy to fix it up🤔
@@user-rn4xv6kx4w You have all the info you need at your finger tips. Type out your question in google and your journey to enlightenment shall begin.
"I Have the high ground!"
now all it needs is a VR camera mod
We're so lucky as fans that talented people can create a game out of passion rather than for profit - and give us the experience we always dreamed of as kids
love the channel man
@@isaacchillman11 Thank you!
your channel made me buy the PC, And now I got to meet druski cause of that (I was monimtg) So thank youuuu broooooo!
Hell with the star wars game drought we seem to stay in, im just happy for anything at this point 😂
Heyyyy it's Bullwon I subscribed like 2 weeks ago cuz I was missing Galactic Contention content been keeping me afloat 🤣
Hey Drewski, sorry to bring up your last video, but thank you for putting Arma reforger in the spotlight again. We doubled our player base after your video and saw thousands of new players, so we cannot truly thank you enough for being a stepping stone for bringing this game back to life again.
I actually started playing Arma cause of that video
It's great they made it console as well, as console players make up at least 60% of the player base. Since there's no way of tracking console players, it could even be that we tripled our original player count.
I am planning a build simply because of his videos..
It was the reason I decided to give it a try again!
Sad it even had to be brought back to life considering every other bohemia title is solid and never died on arrival
You wanna know what would make this mod even better? Voice-filters applied such that they're accurate to each character type.
That tank chatter 51:40 was Fuckin crazy
roger roger
Im 100% going to make some battle droid voice filters in voicemod for this exact game
@@sammy_wills Don't forget to make B2 voicefilters and not just B1 voicefilters! And also clone trooper voicefilters, for that matter.
I think having the Empire versus rebels would be nice
Look mom I'm on TV! I was Oddball at 8:00, and the BARC speeder you guys hit at 32:40 lol. So glad that Galactic Contention is finally back!
haha used to play with you lots
My first game felt like I was instantly transported to a star wars movie.
Flying in the back of a LAAT with a full squad of clones is insanely immersive
I'm thinking about buying squad just to play this mod, is it worth it?
@@ahetzel9054 I've pretty much only played squad for this mod, so i think it's worth it but the main game isn't bad either so def worth.
@@ahetzel9054 100%, Squads a lot slower paced and tactical than your average shooter, but theres nothing more immersive then holding down a hardpoint as orbitals and mortars crash around you and a collective "FOR THE REPUBLIC!" from 20 players sounds as you push the offensive and a chain gunner literally just laughing like a madman mows down half a squad of droids and then immediately eats a headshot from the death squad of magna droids that are now collapsing on you as they come out of stealth
SAME HERE ITS SO GOOD
Man I think I have more time in galactic contention than normal squad at this point , I’m so glad it’s back out
Yeah I'm right with you on that! I spent all weekend playing the mod when it dropped
I give it a week before Disney shuts it down.
@@NecramoniumVideo this mod has been up for years lol its alll non profit they cant really touch it
@@aurelian8297 They could if they wanted to. Hence why Nintendo always shuts down fan made games.
Didn't know it's back up again, last time I played it I had I7 2600K and RX580 it was a bit laggy, now I have I7 8700K + RX6700XT but when I went to try it it was OFF due to Squad updates...
I also prefer it to Squad 😎
This reminds me of PlanetSide 2. The maps being super open, the variety of vehicles doing crazy maneuvers, and the instant shift from nothing really happening to a super intense firefight.
Yep. I hear ya - I still play to this day.
@@zangcheye I tried to get into it, but I'm no where near good enough to fight alone and I don't have any friends who still play it regularly.
They ruined Planetside 2 with the player created bases.
@@dazeen9591 That and also they optimized the gameplay for "sweats" and KD ratio whores instead of sandbox fun and creative gameplay strategies.
Came to the comments to comment this glad to see others agree
Galactic Contention is honestly such an upgrade compared to the actual Star Wars Battlefront games. It's just arcadey enough to be fun to play mindlessly, but still has those Big War Vibes that come with being able to build bases, use vehicles, and play strategically. So glad the devs continue to bring it back and make it better.
Thanks for bringing more attention to the mod!
Is just different i like both battlefront and Squad Galactic contention mod, Battlefront is the only AAA star wars game i like.
Bro said clanker with the hard R 😂
He had the pass
LMAO
"What up my clanka?"
My clanka
CLANKA
Galactic Contention is what battlefront wishes it was
@@CivilianTactics2024 it’s more the scale of the game I mean in this case, coop on Battlefront will always be fun, and Ewok hunt is absolutely terrifying. But Galactic contention is just something else on a completely massive scale in comparison.
@@reanukeeves420 What about OG Battlefront?
@@Mayflower-Yev I feel like comparing a game this recent with something on the original Xbox isn’t quite right, but that game was amazing for its time made memories on that thing
All they'd really have to do to make it into that would be to remove microtransactions and add better* vehicles
@@Mayflower-Yevit has excuses beyond being goated it was so made on ps2 so tech limitations
19:30 "They fly now" being not only the only meme from that movie, but the only part anyone remembers is hilarious
People also remember "somehow, Palpatine returned."
Because that was all the explanation the movie thought we needed for that...
When a game mod is more accurate and closer to the original battlefront games than whatever EA put out. Thats just sad
15:25 Definition of your parent saying, "Fine I'll do it"
Fr that was so funny
The fact that you can see the Star Destroyer sweep over the battlefield when it bombards is badass!
What an incredible mod, easily the match of any Star Wars game that has been released recently. The mod team should be very proud!
Republic cruiser
the amount of extremely high quality star wars mods i see just show how much people want a starwars battlefront 3
Didn't Battlefront 2 drop like only a couple years ago?
@@botezsimp5808 2017, so 7ish years ago. I think that's enough time for a 3rd imo
@@kalexs1661 Dang didn't realize it's been that long. I feel like the first Battlefront dropped just yesterday..
@@botezsimp5808 fr, I played the hell out of it
As long as it’s not made by dice cause I want a Battlefront closer to this mod than the shit we got with BF 2015 and 2017
That view of the star destroyer firing through the clouds at 24:04 was beautiful
That's a venator but yeah it looks sick
@@iwalkmygoose7732 The Venator is classed as a star destroyer
@@TheZombifiedGuy its way smaller than a star destroyer\
@@Sabarsttv yeah. it's still classed as a star destroyer. I didn't write the lore, lol
Anyone that grew up with the groundbreaking gameplay and charm of 2004's Battlefronts will have plenty to cherish here. The passion of a community never ceases to amaze me.
1:40 this is actually a pretty nice cinematic moment - A squad infiltrating a base, they open a door with a prepared grenade expecting some enemies, see nothing but a couple of corpses, the thrower takes two steps, gets shot and releases the grenade, and the squad gets wiped out.
Brings back good times on Planetside 2 many years ago ,over 6000 hours.
I was gonna say this really just looks like planetside 2 but starwars
Looking for this comment, reminds me of the good old days
I hear ya - I'm around 6000 myself. Yeah, good times, and a fair amount of the time it's still good!
@@jaceallen3270 Yes that jet pack . Seeing Drewski jetting about brought it all back.
@@Bread-hy1fc Absolutely, hundreds of players at a time ,so much fun.
Did you just invite 300.000 viewers to a 100 player server?
All this mode needs is a Galactic Civil War era and I'd never go back
Me when AT-AT spam is OP
Jokes aside i'd also kill for KOTOR, SWTOR or Post-Endor version of this mod
Nah, Clone Wars are much larger in scale with huge armies with equal powers slugging each other out in every battlefields.
Also you can play with stormtrooper skin vs droids or clones
Being a Jet Trooper in Galactic Contention looks just like Light Assault from Planetside 2, hell yeah. I'm sold.
*"What are you doing with this game?"*
*"Sir, proving those AAA game companies they're wrong"*
Why is this so much better than any official star wars game ever released.
Because it wasn't made by EA (who held exclusive rights to the franchise for VGs, afaik, for several years). But there's a bright side, though; Ubisoft is making some girl-boss slop Star Wars game. So you'll have yet another game to compare to this mod, which will make it look even better!
@@skinnyweeny2178 FACTS LOL PMSL WAHAHAHAHA!!!
This is 32 gig star wars skins with insurgency explosions and and graphic capabilities the scene were drew was watching the lone guy running up a mountain shows just how powerful and detailed the software this game runs on is you could see all his little details down to the snow spray from his feet . Battlefront was a console game. if you got the right team on a new battlefront for modern systems it would be a whole new animal but to ask why they can't and aren't doing it and properly is the question and it's just as well these guys are making mods like this and just through in game conversations it sounds like they are constantly updating . I thought the snow map was great the plant life map needs some in depth lighting and the massive amounts of the large blue flowers need to dim in the daytime then fluctuate in vibrancy at night maybe even make a few dynamic Venus fly trap style ones to pick off the unsuspecting player it's all doable and you can see what they are going for it's stunning really .
because it isn't a product some corporation is looking to make a profit from, but rather just a free act of human production and creativity, unrestrained by market forces and market logic.
Because it's made outta pure intention, love.
Not the corporate greed,
just wanna milk as much as they could from their fans
*1:56* Drew you're literally going to cause people to hug it to death
Hey druski that was me at 36:08 XD. i was having a bad day and talking to you made it fs!!!! Keep up the good work!!
1:40 that’s me lol
Nice
15:24 bro he is
15:27 bro he isn't
bro he was
1:20 i like that this sniper scope is just a car mirror they tore off a car, and gave it a magnifier
The fact that the big flowers on Felucia all have changing glowing and lighting effects is crazy.
I wonder how many people bought squad just to play this mod
guilty. I bought when it was down but I'm glad I played vanilla so I wouldn't be clueless when the mod got fixed.
@@AkimboJVat least you did that, many people buy it for the mod and are clueless as to how the mechanics work so you got a bunch of headless chickens running around and your match quality goes way down because of it
@@fro1044 Yeahh I found myself being a SL a lot more nowadays.
One too many
This is the Battlefront 3 we never got
Bro your sniping out of a rear view mirror at 1:24🤣🤣
I’ve been playing this mod lately and I can confirm that it is extremely fun. There’s a few maps that feel pretty empty, but most of them are beautifully made and the vehicles and roles you can play as are incredible.
But this is inside wich game
bro that’s crazy… i thought this was going to be a battlefront 2 mod, but the fact that’s it’s a mod for a game unrelated to star wars is mind blowing 🤯
Those orbital bombardments are gorgeous! Just watching the shots falling from the heavens and blasting up geysers of dirt and snow could keep me entertained for an hour 😂
1:32 that scene brings me back to the meatgrinder on the capital ships in SW Battlefront 2.
the battlefront 3 we were all wanting
@OperatorDrewski Love your vids my dude. Feels like I get to watch myself play games only its myself from a long time ago in a galaxy far far into making awesome CZcams videos. - A personal thank you for all your DCS, STALKER, Squad/Galactic Contention videos man, they keep me going some days. Keep it up bud. Also, I wanna see you and @Luetin09 do another 40k game.
So glad its back! Hopefully they can fix the crashing / stability issues soon and also needs some more servers, quite long queues to get in a game at times!
13:30 that whole segment with the tank made me feel so much 2nd hand anger at the tank driver lmfao had 20 chances to hit it but didnt and then tried talking shit about you not killing that droid
One can only imagine a game with passion of modders and funding of AAA, needs to be more comon
I love that you put in Demo ranch as part of your ad. The brotherly love and support is awesome!
That tank action on Coruscant was amazing. It was so cool seeing teamwork with other tanks to take out stronger foes.
idk why but this gives me some nostolgia to having a giant friendgroup playing planetside 2, best memories of gaming ive had
Again, modders doing the work that AAA developers fail and refuse to do.
I remember old days of this mod when it was dying and the few of us that were on would get the devs to set the map to Galban I think it was and those on the droid side would lay in the water with knives and would have to try and kill the clones. Was a lot of fun even then but glad it was revived and is still being worked on
the funny thing about star wars is that even though there is no bullet drop
there are people who still manage to completely miss a target
Roleplaying Stormtroopers 🤣
There may be no "bullet drop", but there is still "bullet time".
@@jonathanoriley8260 true, but you also see the lasers fly over a target like how is that possible
@@allenliu8820 Well, in the lore of SW, blasters are not actually lasers. Blasters are more akin to plasma weapons in terms of sci-fi tech.
@@jonathanoriley8260 i dont care
i rather not say tibanna gas plasma bolts
the best part is the map arent loaded with graphic fidelity, there is actually room to play and your eyes arent bombarded with details
This looks insane!
How hard is it for all these massive franchises to give players what they want!?!
This was a really cool episode, I'd love to see more of this game
more of this please, its so fun to watch
So glad they got this back and running. I hopped on the other day and it was so much fun. Crazy they used the new squad updates better than it seems squad did lol
Wow- the view of the orbital strike starship breaking through the clouds... Absolutely amazing mod
I love that I managed to say "MAC rounds! In atmosphere?" in perfect sync with that clip as soon as you made the joke. Good to know we all still "Remember Reach" just recently found your stuff and I'm loving all of it, although I gotta admit this one has to be a personal favorite... maybe due to some Star Wars bias
Also is there a channel that does a lot of transport/sidegunner gameplay? Love watching clips of that but can never find full videos.
If you hadn't told me it was Squad, I would've thought it was a Battlefield 4/5/1 mod
The look of the gamefeel from the footage is so similar
I just love that people are still making stuff like this. The EU is something special.
- Felucia looks pretty good already, but the ground cover could be a bit more green, blue, and sickly yellow. Right now, the ground looks too dry. Felucia should look soft and damp and disgusting, like the inside of a mushroom.
- Ryloth makes no sense. It's a largely-desert planet with little surface water, and the only known snowy areas are on the night side. I guess that there might also be snow at the poles -- but since Ryloth is tidally-locked to its star, the lighting at the poles should look like perpetual sunset instead of a bright afternoon.
I think that the planet is just mislabeled. The gray towers in the snow look like the architecture from Rhen Var (which would totally fit with the snow).
- Coruscant looks a bit open, but that makes sense for a map with vehicle combat -- and the planet is so vast that you could totally have a less-dense part like this somewhere on it. I'd love to see way more of the holographic signs on the buildings, but I can see how that might affect performance.
- Kashyyyk looks really good. I would just make some of the tree trunks thicker. Wroshyr trees are _big._
- Geonosis looks great.
What about the EU though?
Jesus here comes the Star Wars planetary biologist
The snow map is Rhen Var, not Ryloth (video just mislabeled it)
@@ar.k854 hey man at least somebody knows it lol
@@ar.k854 I am the "while you were doing X, I studied the blade" meme. Except that it was a lightsaber blade.
Bro this is amazing! Holy underrated content and mod, was this community made?
15:27 “Bro, he is-“ *BOOM!!*
Funking dead.
This is extremely impressive. I hope OWI will be able to make a deal with Disney and let them develop it into a full blown Star Wars game like they did with Starship Troopers
Knowing disney, this will disappear within hours of them finding out because of their exclusivity deal with EA (plus, you know, being DISNEY)
I thought the exclusivity deal with EA ended.
I didn’t know the mod was back up and running.
For a while now actually, haven’t played the new update yet tho
Sick, definitely gotta get back to it.
Would definitely love more of this. Especially with that sniper rifle thing that looked amazing.
THE FINAL SHOT WAS SO GOOOOD
this is sick man good content yet again
Jet Trooper is always the most fun if you can't be Boba Fett
This looks great. Just a question, do you need a mic to be able to play this or can you just hop on a server and have fun?
You don't need a mic but when there used to be bugs where no one could hear me. I would restart the game just to have voip.... it adds so much! But you don't need it
mic preferred but not essential
You don't need a mic but I'd recommend it! Comms with teammates is a good time :)
For games like these a mic is STRONGLY recommended. Lone wolfing is nowhere near as much fun as playing in a Squad with proper cohesion.
PLEASE get a mic, nothing is more frustrating than playing with someone who is mute in a team communication based game.
Love the GC content. Keep it up! Might buy Squad soon just for this mod haha
Drewski, watching this reminded me so much of Starseige Tribes (circa 1998). If you ever talk with Matt Best, ask him.
...also ask him if he remembers a Tribe called Imperial Elite. We all watched vids from [IE] Natural.
...Then ask him if he remembers the GDU. We were #1 on Shifter mod.
HERCs are better. You can take your infantry and stuff it.
(I mean this with all the kind heartedness I can muster. Long live the Starsiege Discord server.)
Are we not going to talk about that absolutely cursed aircraft FOV at 01:56?
1:40 that’s me dyeing with the thermal detonator
The jet droid on felucia segment is giving me serious Planetside 2 Light assault vibes and the whole video is reminding me of the good old days of the original SW BF2. Man that is tempting to get squad just for this...
The thumbnail of 2 Rebel soldiers, with Republic symbols on their backpacks, with LAATs shooting at them will never not crack me up.
I fucking hate titles like this. It's totally clear that the mod is unpolished and has a lot of flaws
The Jettrooper gameplay reminds me a lot of Light Assault gameplay in Planetside 2
Please do more of this I wish we could have a kotor era game like this these mods are so sick I’m just glad to watch your videos
0:22 WOAH THERE, no need to use the hard R
Nice, always fun to see some high skill jetpack kit shenanigans
That was hilarious watching you miss that dude just for it the video to cut when your driver shot the dude with the tank xD
Him flying with the jet pack is giving me planetside vibes and I love it
That Coruscant map is SICK! I always dreamed about a star wars battle in the middle of a city and now it's become reality.
Man I wish someone would make a "Titan Mode" mod in Squad. Of course the only problem is if it'd be popular enough to be worth the effort. I'm afraid I'll never see it from DICE/EA so it'll have to come from a mod. Loved 2142 for the Titan Mode!
Every once in a while I think about how cool it would be to have battlefront but behaves like Squad.
A scream game I always wanted to make was something between a risk and battlefront where you command an armada to do strategic objective, but then you take over a hero at a battlefield to help guarantee that objective. Wherever you DIDN’T go will get a random outcome based on what troops got sent in, but then you get to control the battlefield much better where you actually went.
3:10 - Some really deep Planetside vibes going on here.
The end gives a whole new meaning to "fly high, brother..."💀🤣😭
It'd be cool if you could change the color of your sights specifically for situations like you faced on Rhen Var where you weren't able to even see them well enough to aim
15:23 Tank had enough of your tomfoolery.😂
fantasy/scifi milsim games with simulated ballistics and tactics is something we need more of, imagine how much more creative you could get.
Thank you for showing me this.
This is what I've always wanted in a SW game.
Hopefully, like other Squad mods, this game takes off and goes standalone. Knowing the SW license, though, that's a pretty slim chance.
That guy who opened the door to throw the frag just instantly getting rocked is GOLD
I loved those dudes who said they were ready for it then smoked and ran from the tank XD! Awesome video
hey Drew, the game looks much different on your end than mine, what are your graphics settings? also can you turn off toggle mode on the jetpack? because whenever i try to land i tap the boost key before hitting the ground and that toggles it and sends me back up, but you seem to be landing smoothly. Great vid!
I just wish it expanded to the Original and Sequel trilogies as well, this looks awesome!
There needs to be a study on how one of the most recognizable ips ever doesn’t have a ongoing AAA multiplayer shooter
It does, it's just a boring game unfortunately.
It would be cool if you made a video on the DVL-10 in tarkov. Great looking satisfying, integrally suppressed bolt. Definitely would love to see it.
I don't think I've ever dropped everything to buy and install a game so fast in my entire life. Thank you for showcasing this mod!
Really great video - this mod looks amazing. Great to see some well co-ordinated teamwork too
10:05
For some reason him saying "roger" just made me crack a bit lol
Isnt it Funny, when you get oneshot from the sniper, who is far away and mostly hidding behind a Rock, the moment you dare to get out of the schild and try to have fun?
Got so confused when the adroll started and just started playing background footage of Halo Reach started playing lol
I'd love to see more of this
