I've beaten all story missions and i own every dlc, this game is just a big sandbox with the dlcs, but the vanilla part is just as good, if you're wanting the best ww2 RTS game out there, call to arms ostfront is for you
i'm still stuck on the very last finnish mission and most of the soviet missions. the finnish mission because it is SO fucking hard (on heroic anyway) and the soviet ones because it's the weakest campaign imo. strongest campaign was definitely the german one, the last stand missions toward the end as the war becomes hopeless were really really fun and engaging. US campaign also deserves and honourable mention i really enjoyed that one too
I really just want a game that merges Arma 3 with Gates of Hell. Take Arma 3's UI and gameplay and pair it with GoH's AI and sheer amount of content and... Boom. Oh, and Arma's maps are preferable. Of course.
my advice is to avoid the PVP like the plague but the campaign is easily the most fun i've ever had on a strategy game before. the skirmishes were also really fun too. great game also if you're wondering if the DLC is worth it or not, play the base game german campaign. if you liked it, then yes 100% the DLC is worth it. i own all of the DLC and i have almost 900 hours
I would say PVP with friends is fun, if you're referring to public PVP then yeah, the few times I've played in public in these types of games its just been me being curb stomped.
This Game is a Awesome RTS, My favorite(I have over 70). A very Steep Learning curve. If You like RTS Games like "Company of Hero's", think Twice before Buying GoH, maybe think again. Nice Vid.
@@javajohnny7759 It can't be copyrighted, that's a (very) common myth. The Red Cross' "copyright" of the symbol(s) is unenforceable in court. So the reason you don't see it in games anymore is because no developer wants to spend the millions of dollars in international courts just to have a red cross in their video game.
I also got the idea that this feel like playing green army men, lol. I do still take issue with the jank tho. I regularly have some complete BS happen, and it's often something towing related. The most extreme example: I ordered a tankette to tow a gun to the front for defense and after it almost made the trip it *disappeared* and reappeared at spawn together with the gun. I was shocked that this is even possible... I really want to love this game but I wish it wasn't such a janky bugfest. Also, as someone who played the CoH series quite a bit, both have a couple similarities with GoH (and MoW in general) like focus on positioning, similar unit types, destructive environment but I think that's about it. CoH has no inventory system and things like AT grenades are just abilities that certain troops have. Unit health is way more arcadey, and in CoH you have to tech up your base like in traditional RTS games. Also you have 3 different resources (manpower, munitions and fuel), as opposed to GoH that essentially only has manpower. Lastly, CoH is very PvP focused and it's way easier to get into than GoH, with tons of guides, replays and matchmaking.
14:43 That's the first i ever seen someone bounce off a shot from the ground to hit a tank in the turret. This game never stops to surprise me.

*Graviteam Tactics entered the chat*
I mean the Cold War mod got a mini nuke, all I need
Great video, a shame you don’t have more subs

Cool video. Best WW2 strategy game!
It is. In the autistic universe where combat mission and graviteam tactics never existed.
@@calumlittle9828 combat mission and graviteam tactics are way too much of hardcore simulators lol
Not everybody enjoy that kind of game, include me
@@dungnguyenkhac7340
But they are objectively the better strategy games.
thanks for always providing a balanced and thoughtful view! ⚖️
God I hate this game. 9/10 would suffer more
Those slow motion scenes were awesome.
Enjoyed your vid, thanks.
great vid! this game is a killer for sure

For me this is simply the best rts game
I’ve spent 1000+ hrs on this game
Firs--- **dies**
blessed video
Can't recommend Valor enough, the units and factions are amazingly well done.
what specs do you have?
Dont forget you can control in men of war assault squad 2bas well
Same with all the options
Good video!
Did these srsly use green instead of red crosses, though?
I asked the same thing, turns out the red cross is copyright protected, lol

@@johnhighway7399 makes sense tbh
15:15 Yeah, mods are fun. Right now Im making my own. 20GB of new vehicles as of now.
Hows the name of your mod?
men of war assault squad 2 is just a older cheaper (i think) version of this i have 285 hours in that game. i also love gates of hell
Hawka and Mr cookie mentioned 🐮🐮🐮
Its a shame that you need dlc for the skirmishes

Its fun to play WoT minus the shit that surrounds WoT on this game.
Pvp is just tank spam
