Which of these solutions do you think is the one that could save El Alamein? More Cover? A rework of the paths? SECRET TUNNELS? A Night Version? Sandstorms? Eager to hear, what people think :)
Tunnels would be great. I fear sandstorms will lower the performance even more. The developer should create more cover with more different height differences.
He goes from short stream compilations, clips, pro-game commentary, and now video essays. Berg, I love you. Easily the best video you have ever done, please keep creating. *superhugs* :>
Thanks Excel! It took quite the time, but lets see if people enjoy the format. My biggest hope would of course be, that the devs get to see the feedback and maybe think about some points :)
Im going to be honest, awesomely and smoothly put together video! Going into details and problems, but yet providing a wide perspective how those problems arose! Even providing ways how to fix those! Amazing video, amazing commentary, amazing cuts, amazing work and amazig PUNS!
Thank you kindly! I tried keeping it slightly entertaining yet keep the important bits in. It was... a lot to analyze and not all responses clearly made it into the video - but if we had a hundred different points on what needs to be fixed, the video would have gone for hours :D
Informational and entertaining , yum yum. And all those little effects and edits in this video, you have outdone yourself Bergie. Also, bonus points for using footage Enemy Territory.
Thanks! The footage was actually recorded the other day....since even nowadays, theres a ton of servers for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. The license seems to have changed, and the game is available online legally. Theres servers, theres communities...its...really fascinating :D
@@BergBergBerg it was planed to release with single player campaign, for normal price. But then that fell through so they decided to release multiplayer for free
Thanks! Took me quite some time, but I think I'm okay with the outcome. Now I'm just hoping that it gets some attention and some people see it - maybe even the devs, so they see what the community thinks :)
For a proper El Alamein with visibility-infuenced weather effects I guess we will need to just wait for Resolve. HLL would need to be overhauled from ground up in many its areas of the game for such kinds of map to work (sector behavior, gamemodes rules and gunplay as the 1st stuff imo). Same goes for HLL river maps.
I still have the hope, that they can somehow "fake" a weather system. Would it be grand an amazing? No. But surely we could at least get something, that would improve the quality and yet not ruin the 'immersion' on El Alamein.
Oddly enough, I was onced asked by one of the HLL moderators back under Black Matter, if I could make a potential trailer for an upcoming Update. Didnt work out timewise, but sometimes still remember the days. :)
Using half-tracks to move around can work quite well, I wish there were closed-roof versions so MGs can't spray in and kill your squad or get picked off by snipers, but moving along the high ground and avoiding the low valleys can solve this, but you have to be lucky enough not to get spotted by an enemy tank along the way. There also needs to be enough of them on the field to use effectively, not just one, but more like 3-4 minimum or so squads can actually use them and advance and not be expected to be permanently anchored as a team garrison. One of my first games on Al Alamein was as the Germans where I drove a half-track through a hail of bullets to reach our first defensive capture point in a village allowing the team to spawn and then counter-attacking to win the middle point from there. I don't know their fuel costs, so I can't say whether this limits their use by taking away from tanks.
Don't sadly work most of the time. Even if you somehow manage to spread the smoke across the whole valley. You get some smoke up and the many, many MGs and others that stay in the hills fire blindly into the smoke. Was also one of the problems people had in the responses.
@@BergBergBerg The developers need to address areas like ammunition in the game, having machine gunners with unlimited ammunition through respawns means they can fire all day in most instances. But say for example we had something like first mg spawn = full ammo, second, respawn = reduced ammo, third = reduce it even more... replenish through support, ammunition drop power or ammo dropped from the jeep (ammo should also be in the supply trucks also) and after say 5 deaths every player gets full ammo back regardless - or we need over-heating barrels, which would apply more to Germans and give the British air-cooled MGs more of an advantage in this regard. I'm not even sure the MG42 was used in North Africa? The MG34 would be more on par with the Lewis machine gun in terms of map balance.
I also do a ton of trailers and posters for tournaments. As most things - it all flies under the radar, nobody noticing until they stumble over here :D
I dont understand the performance issues. Battlefield 1 for instance (Arcade style aside), beautiful maps, amazing lighting and flowers look like flowers. Trees actually look like Trees, explosions hit HARD, buildings crumble and.....it was released in 2016. It works AMAZING on a majority of gaming pcs woth no fps drops. Why are we all still having this discussion about performance issues. It takes 6 months to change run speed only to change it back again and equally as long to make copy paste maps. 😂😂😂
Same with Enlisted and its huge yet beautiful maps. Then again, both games come from studios with developers that have done this 'scale' and optimization before. My best guess would be, that the bare-bones / basic structure of this game is just not that well optimized. At least that would be one reason I could see being a thing.
Can't wait for DC vs ODST on this map this weekend. Legit the best team in the world, playing the worst map this game has to offer, who will come out on top 😂

Probably your best video ive seen! The extra effort editing really paid off

I think you did very well with summarizing everyone's opinions and presenting them in a fun way. 👍

0:52 You take that back man! Nobody touches my beloved Normandy. :D
I could play it all year long. :)
Neveeeer. Think of Mercury in Grease!
Nice video, well edited smooth not too much memes. Constructive criticism, feedback and offering solutions I do agree with.
Thank you kindly. Now let's see if the issues get much attention - it is after all an information video, and those aren't as flashy :D

@@BergBergBerg ET was always free. First game I played competitively and stayed with it for years. I need to jump back in for few rounds.

Loved the video, well done Berg! Good mix between fun and discussing the topic. Keep em coming!
Glad you enjoyed it! I was worried about the mixing between fun and informative, but I think it went alright :)
Dune mod when? we need sandworms :P Great analysis on Alamein, hope we can have more on the future ^^
I'll try getting some more videos out.
This one took quite some time, but I also experimented with some editing, so it took longer.
@@BergBergBerg and still is such great quality, i loved all references and puns!
Masterpiece Berg!!!
Will probably stay a hidden gem, since it's not as flashy or clickbait-themed as youtube algorithm wants it to be :D
OH shit I can,t stop seeing thoses 'Copy an Paste' formations uuuuhghghghhghghghghhg
I know that pain. Everytime I see the oddly shaped one (red circle), I notice the rock formations being the same nearby.
Great editing, loved every bit of it. What could make this map better? Probably you editing the next Team 17 promotional video :D

Yes
Love the video essay format!
Glad to hear it! It took quite a bit of time, but overall I'm happy with the end product :)
Smoke grenades/artillery shells would do wonders to reduce visibility in all weather conditions and be historically accurate.

Fantastic video, with great editing and a solid comprehensive breakdown. Huge respect to you man, I didnt know you did more than stream, insta-subbed

I am a simple man, I see a Berg Video, I like it.

T17 pls gib Owen gun, but exactly the same as in this vid
Wow
