@@mustdie27 I mean, we all know that THE FIRST MOD, is 100% guaranteed to be a nude mod of some form or make. The modders WILL put tits on the tanks if that is what they have to xD
Damn, this looks awesome. I'm imagining for backstory a WW3 scenario that didn't go nuclear but did basically tear down big government and large countries, leaving huge power vacuums and tons of small successor states, armed with a hodge-podge of old and new gear from the various old countries
Yeah, it really would be the best scenario, but tbh it would still be very bloody for all sides involved. But, no nuclear weapons = civilian casualties kept on the lower side (hopefully)
You could also include Private Military Companies (like Blackwater) being found to have helped orchestrate this event for personal gain- simply waiting for the most opportune time to establish a coup in their country of operation (or nearby, smaller ones that wouldn’t offer as much resistance). So now you have the PMCs promising to save the people from the tyranny of government as “vigilante heroes” even though they were for a large part, responsible for it. (This prompt was heavily inspired by MGS ngl)
@@andreasmuller2437 well we also probably would love to get rid of all nukes but then ww3 would almost certainly happen, and also that's never gonna happen
Tip: When moving tanks up they should have close infantry support. The tank draws the fire and the infantry can take down infantry targeting the tanks. The tank can also be used as cover if infantry is taking heavy fire.
Definitely looks like a really good game! I'm glad I was finally able to catch a premier of yours again, Shack! It's been a long time since I had the time to be around for a stream or premier, hopefully I can be around more in the future! The game definitely looks really good, a mix of Wargame Red Dragon, Arma 3 Zeusing, and Mount and Blade. The quality of the effects and everything is really impressive for such a small dev team, Can't wait for the full release!
@ricelover118 a new team took over and are working on updates for Freeman but this seems like what the original concept for it was and I’m holding out hope for freeman but this looks promising and like just what I think a lot of us wanted
I played this game during its Next Fest demo which was only a month ago and the game already has improved a lot, I can't wait to see how it continues to grow
This game is a massive mix between Total War, Mount and Blade, Hearts of Iron, and Battlefield games put together to make a massive immersion game that wants you to fight an enemy that you won't always see on the battlefield clearly. That is amazing actually.
The overall concept is awesome. With some fine tuning ..this could be a diamond in the rough. - Medics/Medevac ( allows you to possibly save some soldiers for latter battles) kind of XCOM with extract and wounded timelines. -CAS - Air insertions i.e. fries with UH-60 or have CH-47 carrying troops. -The ability to retrograde and fight another day - more movement options/orders.
yea! air and sea warfare added as DLC or something would be absolutely perfect... though the scaling would be hard to do. air and sea have much larger combat zones than strictly ground
This looks like my future new favorite game :) can't wait till it comes out! I would love to see a scouting mechanic implemented. Maybe some immersion animations, like boarding vehicles 👍
looks interesting, needs some kind of fog of war as the tactical view lets you see too much of the enemy. Maybe make the enemy turn invisible if you don't have line of sight
@@Wadser there are some instances where the game did not account for hills and distance. It mostly only takes into account buildings and sometimes trees.
Reminds me one pretty old game name of which I always constantly forget, similar idea of RTS + FPS hybrid (not FPS, but vehicle sim). You manage resource operations on resource lines then production on production islands, delivery to logistics and fortress island and vehicle designs are up to the player to decided (in terms of hull and weapons)
If this RTS-FPS game ran on UE5+, then even low-end PCs can handle its high-quality large maps (thanks to UE5+'s Nanite Foliage that further optimizing topology/polygons enough to boost performance)
A 7.62mm! Sir I do believe that that is the proper freedom dispenser itself the 12.7mm M2 .50 cal heavy mg on that Abrams. This game looks like a lot of fun after a few updates, definitely will keep my eye on it.
I went and played the demo after this and I was entranced the whole time. This is what Freeman GW should have been and I was legitimately dissapointed when the demo ended.
Freeman: Guerrilla Warfare is another game like this though it's more like Mount and Blade with guns than RTS, though still have a top down tactical screen you can use in battle like Starsector. My only problem with it is development is really slow, taking enough time between updates you start to wonder if the last update really was the last update.
This was my first thought. I was sad the game slowly lose traction in development, I played hours in it before the removing of features to refine them phase. This game will probably take Freemans spot in my library lol
This game reminds me of the men of war series games but with better graphics and modern instead of ww2. Call to arms is modern and allows first person like this where gates of hell ostfront was third person with first person mods and the original men of war games being kind of top down control it's reallllly nice to see more games like them though I can't wait to see how this game progresses!
this is cool! will definitely give this a look but also hope you will make this into a short series (or not, you are already very busy so no pressure).
So this is like Hearts of Iron, Warthunder, Call of Duty, Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth, Total War and Men of War combined together? Finally, my dream has come true.
Tank Controls: V changes from the main gun to the 7.62 up top. Holding down shift Zooms in (in infantry as well, as long as you are standing still, other wise it becomes sprint)
There's another game exactly like this called Freeman: Guerrilla Warfare. I haven't checked in on it in a long time though. It was still pretty early back when I tried it.
Since I don't want to be a spammer, this is my last attempt at suggesting/requesting this ;-;. You should return to Executive Assault 2, it's got tons of new content to the point of being a new game! As this is an FPS/RTS hybrid, it seems perfectly appropriate.
there are SOME gripes i have with the game rn: 1.) No leveling system for your "main character" - in fact, there is no "main character". Which is good and bad at the same time, because you will be able to respawn at any point during combat, but you won't feel a sense of progression. 2.) AI has Aimbot and will spot you from miles away. Once they've locked in on you, you're pretty much dead. They have far better ability in spotting you than you spotting them until you smack on a 8x or 10x scope - which sadly means that automatic weapons not mounted on vehicles are useless. 3.) Economy is questionable at best. During the global campaign you can only ever build one building at a time, which makes NO sense whatsoever and forces you into a standstill for several months when you've conquered a neighbouring country. You also have no oversight over what gets actually produced in a day/week/month and what gets taken out because all the productions are on seperate timers with seperate ressources required with seperate outputs (and you will never know how much output there is too!) - this needs desperate fixing. 4.) Fog of war makes about no sense. You're telling me satellite imaging is not available in 2024? Or that people have... oh, i dunno, a map of the area they live in? Imagine being in actual war and you ask your superior "sir, what's over that hill" and he goes: "Well gee, son, i have no idea. We need to go there and see it with our own eyes, no other way of finding out!" That being said, it's still a fun game, and i enjoy playing it. it has HUGE potential and I hope the devs expand on what they have.
Would be Super cool if you could bring 5-80 of your real world friends to play each battle (on both sides). players can control each NPC in just one squad and you can use squad tactics OR each player can take control of one squad of NPC. or Any combination depending on the situation. While the Main Player (YOU) can give overall orders and play any NPC as well. So instead of one afternoon moving chess pieces around a board for one player there are months of Strategy with weekends with your friends. Where you can choose to place the players into a cool combat situation that you create while NPCs (or you offline) handle the other battles all the way to players handling every battle as it comes up. OR you can play solo like now.
I recommend this to anyone whos looking for a good RTS, i would totally dump my money into it if i could preorder it now. Raytracing looks really cool too!
It'd be interesting to see a game with a procurement system. Interesting for me at least. Ideally you'd have a large set of parts with resource inputs. Then a class of players could be equipment designers. The equipment armies use is inseperable from their parent country's culture and economy.
Reminiscing of the days playing Ubisoft RUSE. I got this game I fuckin love it. With a little more work it will be a master piece. 🙌 I love trying to change the course of the battle by taking control of the units to Rambo the fuck out if the enemy. IFV are monsters trying to assault and just the Emersion when running through artillery and enemy fire is amazing. Very much enjoy it!!!
the sheer possibilities this brings are mind boggling , especially if it gets a modding community close to mount and blade
An army of tacticool waifus

This is really cool. I started downloading the demo about 15min into your video. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
“Fortunate son intensifies”
“Helicopters start up”
When you first got into a battle I was surprised it looked so good
This does give mount and blade vibes... i definitely would love to get it once its done
I've always dreamed of making a game like this....
It makes me want to pursue it again
Or try joining their dev team
If this RTS-FPS game ran on UE5+, then even low-end PCs can handle its high-quality large maps (thanks to UE5+'s Nanite Foliage that further optimizing topology/polygons enough to boost performance)
Really cool to see something that combines men of was assault squad 2 or gates of hell ostfront with Squad and creates this amazing genre.
So basically, this game is Battlefront's Galactic Conquest? I'm sold. Getting this game.
it's like freeman guerrilla warfare, but better
A 7.62mm! Sir I do believe that that is the proper freedom dispenser itself the 12.7mm M2 .50 cal heavy mg on that Abrams. This game looks like a lot of fun after a few updates, definitely will keep my eye on it.
Reminds me of Freeman: Guerilla Warfare. By the way, Freeman is being remade from the ground up by the Devs because they weren't happy with it.
Kinda seems like what Freeman guerilla warfare wanted to be
My first though exactly lol. Hopefully this game doesn't die off like that one did
I went and played the demo after this and I was entranced the whole time. This is what Freeman GW should have been and I was legitimately dissapointed when the demo ended.
Looks like a more advanced version of Freeman: Guerilla Warfare. :)
You can take control of any particular solider in any squad as well, tons of playability here
Graphics is absolutely amazing as for RTS
Would love to see a Tiberian Sun version of this!
Now this would be amazing.
This is literally a flip of Freeman.
Fun fact. The map is based of the actual cayman islands
Would kill for a game like this. This one looks rough but I'm glad an attempt is being made. Definitely has potential.
This looks AWESOME!

Somewhere I already heard this soundtrack...
It was in some post apocalyptic settlement building sim
Oh Shack, you silly goose, you moved your infantry up into range of the enemy 50cal and they got slaughtered when you pulled your Abrams back.
this is cool! will definitely give this a look but also hope you will make this into a short series (or not, you are already very busy so no pressure).
Imagine having an integration with Hearts of Iron IV the same way CKIII allows you to play the battles in Mount and Blade. What a dream.
its basically the same as freeman guerilla warfare
So this is like Hearts of Iron, Warthunder, Call of Duty, Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth, Total War and Men of War combined together? Finally, my dream has come true.
This reminds me of Antistasi Arma3 mod sooooo god damn much and i LOVE IT!
It’d be cool to see this on a global scale
I think it’d also be cool to be able to have standard loadouts for squads or squad presets for custom built armies.
Tank Controls:
V changes from the main gun to the 7.62 up top.
Holding down shift Zooms in (in infantry as well, as long as you are standing still, other wise it becomes sprint)
Hey shack do you think you could do a series on this when its relesed like full on story cinematics and everything
reminds me of the old ps2 conflict games, like conflict desert storm and conflict vietnam. great war games back then... hope this gains ground...
certainly an interesting idea, modern day mount and blade, we will see if the execution can succeed.

Freeman guerilla warfare is modern mount and blade. This is more like a total war if you ask me due to the tech tree
12:53 did I just see a ninja?
Finally, the game I was waiting since.... 2004 or so.
This has such a HUGE potential !!!
You know XP is an Imperial Guard player, when he drools over having mobile artillery
Everyone Please go play the demo it is very worth the while and you will probably end up playing the demo again before release
This game looks awesome
If this gets a modding community id be imagining ancient romans using mg3 and riding MBTs lmao
I was born in humanopolis
Mate, I haven’t seen a vid of yours for…years…I now I’m back
Yeah I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this one.
Interesting concept still a little derpy but there is something special here

Had a game called Savage: The Battle for Newerth 2003 that did something similar.
The kind of game I always wanted
My dream game finally came true!
Kind of sad that this kind of reminds me of the cancelled cnc tiberium game
Wow, this looks like an FPS/Strategy gamechanger
This looks awesome, hope you could do this orrrr another could you do another XCOM campaign?
This looks great!
This game reminds me a little on „conflict of nations“ but just way better and with nearly all I wanted!
Damn this game has come far.
I've seen some channels where they were playing a more "Full" version of the game. Any idea on how to get access to it?
I like you video it sound fun i guess i will give this game a try feel like mount & blade with modern weapon and seem easy to command hope so
This game would be even better if they make dlcs or someone makes mods that are in WWII Era and Cold War Era stuff
looks like an improved Call to Arms
Looks like a modded ARMA 3 with extra steps, promising outlook!
Is there a patreon or Kickstarter for this game? It looks really awesome and I'd love to support it.
Do you have to worry about your starting artillery running out of ammo?
does have german vehicles like the leo 2?
Finally a modern RTS game that's not for children
This reminds me a lot of Freeman Guerilla Warfare
6:38 I don't think that is a .45 but Idk know if they have the rights to do so
I would love a WW2 setting in this.
Oh man… 40k mod I see you coming

didn't Battlezone 98 do this back in the day?
