To Homefront's credit, the story originally was supposed to be about China instead of North Korea, but THQ got cold feet about that and made the devs change it.
Made sense since China is the US largest trading partner. Even though the US is a warmongering nation with 800~ military bases around the world, can’t risk to pissed off your #1 trading partner when you’re haven’t *officially* declared war on them. FYI, the US is currently in a second Cold War with everything going on rn irl.
The entire idea of China or NK ever invading the US is ridiculous considering their entire history with the United States was them expressing a clear desire to stay distant from the United States and mind their own business and the US has constantly violated their sovereignty and tried to incite war over and over again
@@Freak_Offs_Lubricant The US is basically pulling every string to maintain peace and those bases are tripwires to deter invasion. If you want to invade Japan, South Korea, etc you have to attack Americans which gives you cold feet. Why is the US the warmonger when its OTHERS who want the US to go away so they can invade?
@@playedtoomuch5259 Bruh its China clearly laying claim over territories that belong to other nations and North Korea holding Seoul hostage with artillery fire. South Korea has huge bunkers for the population in case North Korea decides to just shell their cities close to the border.
Seriously I am no longer fan or even play call of duty But if they change AI it will be great to play single player campaign Love how in fear ai will fire you from cover nonstop And another flanking you and something throwing grenade to corner you into no escape
@@glibchubik4090 It's kinda fucking sad, but at the rate we're going it's literally going to be AI developing video game "AI" to be better someday. There's maybe 2 dozen games over the past TWENTY years that have truly innovated on video game AI, if you include minor/indie hits probably too. Anything much better than what we have is very expensive to make and requires the kind of talent that's smart enough to stay away from the toxic video game industry. It kinda sucks; hopefully we get AI-generated AI sooner rather than later so that we can enjoy a refined version of it before we die of old age....
A bit of a gripe I have with FC6 is that they say “some of these are just conscripts, needing to feed their families” yet all of them are bloodthirsty killers or you kill them without question.
I love Ghost Recon Wildlands on extreme. Literally changes the way you play, and forces you to change your tactics. I think I might do another Ghost Mode run...
I've found one of the most important strategies to be setting up an overwatch position and calling for rebel strikes on weak points. You're not actually doing hit and run attacks, but from a distance it *looks* like they are since the ability recharges over time and once they all die. Despite the smoke and mirrors approach, this fits the fantasy of being a foreign advisor for an insurgency really well since narratively your enemies are meant to assume that Kitaris is responsible for your actions until it's too late
Huh, I must have left it below the hardest then, I swear I went all the way this time because people told me it's the best way to play the game but it felt exactly the same as last time I played, enemies will down me in a burst but that's about it, the AI is still stupid and extremely exploitable.
This is a pretty damn good video on how video games tend to sanitize warfare to make it far less complicated. good stuff. Also, love the fact that you bring up ArmA 3 Antistasi, every time I go and play a AAA game that does the "guerrilla warfare" thing, Im always reminded of just how much better Antistasi does it.
Oh dude, you've just expressed what I've always thought. I hope Arma 4 will have an insurgency based SP campaign. There's excuse for using whatever weapon you want, there's a variety of tools to use just like in an imsim... and an occasion to tell something provocative.
@@onemorescout Well.... They do kinda work with the military all over the world with their training sims so they kinda are in that position where they need to care about backlash after all.
Far Cry 4 is my favourite, the rebels aren't exactly the good guys, at some point they're even worse than the tyrant they're fighting against. That's why they're so unique.
Often the Difference between a freedom fighter, and a terrorist depends on what side your on of the conflict. Now obviously their actions matter as well, but in most cases there is so much propaganda by the Stronger force, that you will only hear of the evils they Commit, or if there is not enough evils, then make something up or, misconstrue their actions to something worse than they are. while also not down playing any of their evil actions, or removing them from the media entirely. crazy times were living in. good on you for bringing it up, and I cant wait for Arma 4 so we can liberate one something that actually looks and play well, lol.
Arma 2 Freedom Fighters scenario is exactly that. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being a small group fighting a larger foe that can squash you with overwhelming firepower. Furthermore, due to a bug, it was nearly impossible to actually win.
21:14 the only downside to antistasi is you can kinda cheese it. But you can choose not to. It’s kinda sportsmanship on the players part to play ‘correctly’ not like it matters to much your fighting ai after all.
Helldivers actually does a decent job of this on the highest difficulties. A lot of the fun I had in both the first and second game was playing on the highest difficulties, slinking around patrols, and setting up ambushes to quickly dispatch troops or emplacements before they even knew what hit them. Especially when not using the most OP gear in the game
Sent by Dazed. This was really good, still haven't able to spend time messing with arma but it definitely have practically endless potential of any types of combat whether it makes sense or not.

Playing Antistasi with radios mod, with my friends was one of the best gaming experiences I've had. Coordinating an attack on a base, radioing a distant teammate driving a loot truck back, and even messing about in the HQ are so immersive, fun and actually kinda chill. Cant recommend enough if you game on PC.
yessterday while i was playing halo antistasie we hit a factory dealth with the QRF but since i used AT indiscrimetly a lot of wounded enemies got blown up upping our agression since part of our Plan to deel with the QRF was a bloking the road with a explosive near it it also mean't we lost our vic so we continued on foot to the town to get a car and ddeal with the military administration only to get ambushed by a team of spartens with a sniper and rifleman acting as support for them on a nearby hill the only reason we even ssurvied was becuase i had a buble sshield where we healed and i pussed my snipers barrel past it and since it is a strong one started 1 or 2 shoting spartens only for when we go to loot their bodies to almost run into mines they placed near them
I remember even back when this came out thinking about how ridiculous the whole “NK invaded and occupied America” thing was. Party due to how stupid the idea was (at least make it some alliance of Russia, China and NK or some shit) and the fact that we had just done this irl to Iraq lol.
What game was it where they did the alliance thing..? Like they couldn't decide on just one Eastern authoritarian villain, so they went with all of them
I am a long time Arma player, and I love the concept of fighting that you've mentioned here. Myself and some friends have done a LOT of this in the past with multiplayer in the ArmA Series. I've got some videos on my channel from Takistan Life where we did this kind of stuff super frequently. It was always a blast being outnumbered and out gunned and yet causing so much chaos for the police and whatever blufor faction was in control. I think the best thing we ever did (and unfortunately I did not record it) was get the local civi population in the server on our side and managed to drive a truck full of makarovs and ammo to them to start a revolution. It was short lived, and ended as you'd expect, but man was it awesome. We've also taken the same tactics and such into other gamemodes. CTF on the RHS mod is perfect for this. I have many videos of this as well in the "Takistan News" series in which we just took our characters we played as on Takistan Life and brought it to the CTF scenario. It's full of us just goofing off but also ambush tactics and hit and run stuff. To see a more dedicated game with the right mechanics to something like this would be absolutely amazing. Awesome video.
Home front 2 had some of the best forcing you to hit and run mechanics in a game I’ve ever played. I didn’t appreciate it at the time. I wanted to like conquest the game kill all the bad guys on a block and this is ours now kinda of thing. But if you hangout in an area after attacking. You die. End of story. You have to run because there are more of them and they will overwhelm you.
All of these games forget the political aspect (mostly because its not convenient to ask why people were fighting for their freedom and from who) communist gueillas have often fought with the support of the urban factory workers, and directly against the capiralists funded by the west, this is dramatically different to a fascist paramilitary that acts with the support of the CIA who acts at the behest of the ruling class against the workers
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD Not really, they had actual grievances with the regimes they were resisting, and unless they were in Eurasia or Africa, they got little to no material support, unless you think the Cubans were capable of supplying guerrillas throughout an entire continent by themselves, even with the leftover American military supplies from the Batista dictatorship and the limited stream of Soviet aid that could even make it to the Caribbean without the US catching wind of it. Also, which side do you think has more organic support from people, the one that's trying to end a US-installed military coup because they're mad the Communists beat them at their own democratic game by getting elected into power or the fascist paramilitary death squad funded by CIA cartel drug money genociding Indigenous and unionized campesinos on behalf of a US fruit company?
Nonsense for westoids. the Bolshevik occupation of Europe, which led to poverty, famines, and oppression, commie dictatorships are the same across the world. Even then Bolshevik revolutionaries and Soviet industrialization were backed by Westerners, and China only is a power because of USA, no communist country won by itself.
arma 3's antistasi is decent but certainly not the most realistic. outposts magically get reinforced when you go outside the loading zone, guerilla tactics are only useful during specific missions etc etc. there's a very good mod that is more dynamic, realistic and in which guerilla tactics work better (i.e. enemies need to actually drive trucks to resupply and there is a larger, more overarching command structure) called Vindicta. it's only in alpha and from what i've heard the save system is sometimes fucky, and it might be too hardcore for you but i 100% recommend at least checking it out
This one came up under the concept of communication. Many game's AI have minimal awareness of what each other are actually doing, but using barks you can create the illusion they're informing each other of important developments combined with multiple actors choosing the same option in the FSM at the same time so they create smaller groups. The telltale sign of a behavior tree with actual awareness is if another actor shows uo to fill in the job of one you just killed. Spec Ops has *insanely* good barks, just constant shouting over the gunfire and sometimes each other. They even progress throughout the campaign as the situation becomes more dire. A great example of barks actually informing the player of inter-unit awareness is MGSV
I'd also wager is the actual want for these kinds of games. Not every player agrees with the actual want for the style of game. This kinda gameplay is niche in of itself. Its fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not my main go to most of the time either. (This coming from someone who almost 100%'d Farcry 5 and loved every moment of it cuz reasons). The zomboid stuff at the end, from experience, is one of those really gets into it kinda games when you give the players enough freedom. I've seen PVP maps where there's always at least 3 people playing villain, and exist to cause as much trouble and the tactics get very... very underhanded. I watched on guy spend a week looking at one screenshot and a map, studying trees and grass patterns in a screenshot to find a hidden base just to burn it. Edit: Just because I can go more into it. Zomboid legit being my "we can do whatever we want game" but always with the fear of zombies has legit lead to some really crazy stories, gameplay ideas, long lists of mods and different experiences that I can never stop recommending it. Have fun, make a big server, go for it. Right now I'm in a Signalis based one that's more casual survival compared to hardcore. Let's us see how crazy things get when people actually build up. we're at the point of politics now with factions and work set up that I now have to watch what kills I make to make sure I don't have a molotov hit me in my sleep
Freedom fighters, when you get down to it, is quite the tactical game. Command is pretty basic (but effective), but aside from that, it's the larger scale tactics that help with your strategy. If you want the helicopter gone for the entire op, or the duration of a mission, take out the helipad. But you need C4, so go to a level with an armory. Get the C4 from. That level, and come back to the helipad, blow it up, and the chopper can't bother you no more. More tactical shooters should probably invest in more macro tactics like this.
Far Cry 2 is the best Far Cry game made. Far Cry 2 is the best Ubisoft game made, one of the few good ones. Far Cy 2 is just amazing. I highly recommend playing the game, especially with the realism+ redux mod.
Look up Mao Zedong's military doctrine: Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention. Every successful _______ movement has conducted its struggle either by adhering to this exact framework or a similar version of it.
What's happening in the Far Cry franchise is what happens when developers listen to the "I don't like politics in games" crowd. A game can be fun and engaging and still talk or allude to real-world issues
Complete disagree. I think the type of politics that those types of people are complaining about are more present in Far Cry 6 than in any other far cry. The game literally stops mid-mission to call America racist despite nothing in the plot having anything to do with America whatsoever
0:52 what's the bgm you used here? I swear I've heard it long ago yet I cannot remember for the life of me anything other than it being game soundtrack?
There is an arma 3 mod which is even better than antistasi: its vindicta. While very unfortunately its a dead project und unstable in the late game, it still has better features und systems than antistasi. Most importently it has actual usable stealth and the enemy has a limetet pool of manpower an resources. In antistasi they just throw 20 helicopters at you...
I disagree with Far Cry 5 being a cop-out to avoid politics. They are pretty overt references to groups that exist in real life not to mention the fact that they are fanactically devoted to the largest world religion (also they were right as well you're more like a counter-revolutionary in that game). I do think they should have done more to make them sympathetic; like he talks about losing his child and then being chosen to save humanity. Despite this the cult blinds people, tortures and kills pointlessly and makes zombies to remind you you're the good guy. Anyway my point is I don't think the idea behind Far Cry 5 is flawed I just feel that they didn't comnit.
That's kind of my point. The "references to real groups" are all bad guys. The "keep your rifle by your side" stuff is all said by the bad guys, despite the gameplay clearly putting you on the insurgent side of the tactics, you have to be framed as a state actor to justify your actions in the meta
@@TheButterAnvil yeah don't get me wrong I get your main point (a very good point and a good video we should force some producers to watch). All I mean is that fighting against a Montana militia style cult is far more interesting a concept than fighting a tyrannical US government so I don't think it was a political choice. Also I don't usually watch video essays but this one captivated me so much I almost forgot to feed my dog so thanks!
Not sure what half the video is about. Sounds to me like you are bashing AAA but fail to understand another side to gaming: bloodlust. It's just fun to go on a rambo spree. I enjoyed FarCry 6 more than any other Far Cry because my enemy was relentless, brutal, stronger and as bloodthirsty as i was. You completely fail to understand the arcade side of gaming, it's not always about being accurate and depicting a precise picture of what things should be like. The only thing i can agree on is AAA usually fails at least in some categories if not all of them most of the time.
Project Reality has a game mode called Insurgency that came up during the research phase, but didn't make the cut. The location of the objectives is defined by the insurgent players and hidden from the counterinsurgents, so you can get creative with OPSEC by staging ambushes at expected investigation areas or concentrating players where the objective isn't as a red herring. There's a civilian spy class they lose tickets for killing, there's VBIEDs, and it's based on real world GWOT locations like Fallujah

A great example of barks actually informing the player of inter-unit awareness is MGSV
Thanks for recommending dazed Canadian. Gonna go check out their stuff because of you
29:59 - That sudden hit on unspecific nostalgia...
Far cry 2, ahhhhhh the memories. I liked building my own multiplayer maps on that game too!
Ahhhh Far Cry 2
insurgency 2014 in thumbnail :]
Yeah FC6 becomes kinda laughable imo if you know any bit about how much it sucks to be a guerillia fighter lol.
23:44 "what if you doodoo it" hehe
I'd also wager is the actual want for these kinds of games. Not every player agrees with the actual want for the style of game. This kinda gameplay is niche in of itself. Its fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not my main go to most of the time either. (This coming from someone who almost 100%'d Farcry 5 and loved every moment of it cuz reasons). The zomboid stuff at the end, from experience, is one of those really gets into it kinda games when you give the players enough freedom. I've seen PVP maps where there's always at least 3 people playing villain, and exist to cause as much trouble and the tactics get very... very underhanded. I watched on guy spend a week looking at one screenshot and a map, studying trees and grass patterns in a screenshot to find a hidden base just to burn it.
Edit: Just because I can go more into it. Zomboid legit being my "we can do whatever we want game" but always with the fear of zombies has legit lead to some really crazy stories, gameplay ideas, long lists of mods and different experiences that I can never stop recommending it. Have fun, make a big server, go for it. Right now I'm in a Signalis based one that's more casual survival compared to hardcore. Let's us see how crazy things get when people actually build up. we're at the point of politics now with factions and work set up that I now have to watch what kills I make to make sure I don't have a molotov hit me in my sleep

I love your content its so well made
Why didn't you mention Freedomfighters? It perfected the formula but it was never picked up again.
I need to play that one. Criterion made that right?

Freedom fighters, when you get down to it, is quite the tactical game. Command is pretty basic (but effective), but aside from that, it's the larger scale tactics that help with your strategy.
If you want the helicopter gone for the entire op, or the duration of a mission, take out the helipad. But you need C4, so go to a level with an armory. Get the C4 from. That level, and come back to the helipad, blow it up, and the chopper can't bother you no more.
More tactical shooters should probably invest in more macro tactics like this.
It's not a gorrila it's GER-ila!

Far Cry 6 would've been a better game if they made being the whole guerilla thing less fun than it is and make it grittier than it is.

You deserve more views
Far Cry 2 is the best Far Cry game made. Far Cry 2 is the best Ubisoft game made, one of the few good ones. Far Cy 2 is just amazing.
I highly recommend playing the game, especially with the realism+ redux mod.
I dont see that ark video or that zomboid civilization video in the description
Looks like it's there now. "Using Guerilla Warfare to Fight the Biggest Tribe"
Subbed. This is an awesome video. Hope you blow up, i am looking at your vids and they are cool too.
Arma 3 is the closest AAA game to play as a terrorist.
Can Boiling Point Road to Hell be considered as an insurgency game?
Look up Mao Zedong's military doctrine: Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention.
Every successful _______ movement has conducted its struggle either by adhering to this exact framework or a similar version of it.
What's happening in the Far Cry franchise is what happens when developers listen to the "I don't like politics in games" crowd. A game can be fun and engaging and still talk or allude to real-world issues
Complete disagree. I think the type of politics that those types of people are complaining about are more present in Far Cry 6 than in any other far cry. The game literally stops mid-mission to call America racist despite nothing in the plot having anything to do with America whatsoever
as the number one and only homefront: the revolution fan. thank you for mentioning that stupid game its peak
0:52 what's the bgm you used here? I swear I've heard it long ago yet I cannot remember for the life of me anything other than it being game soundtrack?
It's a track from yt creator music
@@TheButterAnvil could you tell me the name or ID?
22:09 Don’t be posting no traps micah
How did I not make that connection 😭
22:50 i guess its because they wanted to sell the game in china, so the swap the names a bit
There is an arma 3 mod which is even better than antistasi: its vindicta. While very unfortunately its a dead project und unstable in the late game, it still has better features und systems than antistasi. Most importently it has actual usable stealth and the enemy has a limetet pool of manpower an resources. In antistasi they just throw 20 helicopters at you...

Did we REALLY have to include AI slop?

I disagree with Far Cry 5 being a cop-out to avoid politics. They are pretty overt references to groups that exist in real life not to mention the fact that they are fanactically devoted to the largest world religion (also they were right as well you're more like a counter-revolutionary in that game). I do think they should have done more to make them sympathetic; like he talks about losing his child and then being chosen to save humanity. Despite this the cult blinds people, tortures and kills pointlessly and makes zombies to remind you you're the good guy. Anyway my point is I don't think the idea behind Far Cry 5 is flawed I just feel that they didn't comnit.
That's kind of my point. The "references to real groups" are all bad guys. The "keep your rifle by your side" stuff is all said by the bad guys, despite the gameplay clearly putting you on the insurgent side of the tactics, you have to be framed as a state actor to justify your actions in the meta
Not to say they didn't do anything cool with the concept they did come up with. Far Cry 5 has interesting villains at the very least
@@TheButterAnvil yeah don't get me wrong I get your main point (a very good point and a good video we should force some producers to watch). All I mean is that fighting against a Montana militia style cult is far more interesting a concept than fighting a tyrannical US government so I don't think it was a political choice.
Also I don't usually watch video essays but this one captivated me so much I almost forgot to feed my dog so thanks!

good video
PLs send me to the mega gay zone i want to meet big buff men 🙏
does anyone know the game at 2:07
Delta Force Hawk Ops. Sadly I couldn’t get it to start on my computer even tho it passes the required specs
Where the views gang
Not sure what half the video is about.
Sounds to me like you are bashing AAA but fail to understand another side to gaming: bloodlust. It's just fun to go on a rambo spree.
I enjoyed FarCry 6 more than any other Far Cry because my enemy was relentless, brutal, stronger and as bloodthirsty as i was.
You completely fail to understand the arcade side of gaming, it's not always about being accurate and depicting a precise picture of what things should be like.
The only thing i can agree on is AAA usually fails at least in some categories if not all of them most of the time.
2:29 you think that's why we left afghanistan? all this knowledge but you dont know we left prematurely for no reason?

God, I've wanted a real asymmetric experience that's NOT ARMA. Broken ass game. I know Squad tried but... c'mon.
Project Reality has a game mode called Insurgency that came up during the research phase, but didn't make the cut. The location of the objectives is defined by the insurgent players and hidden from the counterinsurgents, so you can get creative with OPSEC by staging ambushes at expected investigation areas or concentrating players where the objective isn't as a red herring. There's a civilian spy class they lose tickets for killing, there's VBIEDs, and it's based on real world GWOT locations like Fallujah
