"Sir, there's a church to our 1 o'clock and there might be a sniper in the bell tower, what should we do?" "I see, the church, remove it completely" "sir?"
“Remove the church? But sir if we do that it will reduce the accuracy of our maps.” “The Air Force leveled a mountain last month, and the navy sank an island just last week. So I’ll be damned if we’re going to be the only ones that haven’t removed a location from the maps is that understood private.” “Sir yes sir!”
Let me see if I’ve got this right: This is an expansion pack, set on the Western Front of World War II, for an expansion pack, set on the Eastern Front of World War II, for a spinoff, set in the modern game, of a game set on the Western Front and Eastern Front of World War II. You’re playing Deconstructed Men of War
It’s kinda weird but I would also add it’s effectively a modernized and more detailed version of Men of War, with a healthy dose of influence from the old games. There’s some missions that feel like the first game, other that feel like assault squad, and others that feel more original. I’m pretty sure it’s on sale right now too, for the record. I checked and the main game (GOH I mean) and all bundles are on sale for the next couple days.
No. Gates of Hell is independent, the publisher is the one who created Call to Arms. You don't need the base game 'Call to Arms' to even own Gates of Hell.
"Okay, massive question, why did you hull-down the flak gun instead of the tank?" "Because the tank, unironically, does not have enough gas to make it there, my friend." Heck of a way to start of a video showcasing the authentic late war WW2 German experience.
The secret objective is a reference to the Clint Eastwood movie Kelly's Heroes, I think. The tank commander looks just like one of the characters, and there's a similar scene in the movie.
Yeah the moment in the movie is when Telly Savalas's Character (Big Joe) finds them enjoying a picnic as their sherman's drive shaft is broken (after taking out 2 tigers tho)
I’ve played this mission, if you send men over there it’ll talk about them being drunk and not know how to fix the tank they have (a calliope) and fixing it is the objective, you get a nice little tank but it’s stuck until it opens up more of the map, which I didn’t know it would do and I drove it into the river
holy crap rimmy gates of hell upload i really liked how with the german campaign you can actually tell you're losing instead of it being a wehraboo power fantasy where you constantly win against all odds, i think the most memorable part of the festung europe campaign for me was a captured char b1 turning up in support of my defence - in 1944
@@aaroncabatingan5238 You're right, in fact during the very early stages of the Battle of Normandy they tended to make up a majority of available German armour. German high command had specifically ordered a minimization of new resources being sent to France pre-Overlord hence why you see so many captured Allied tanks or amalgamations of them turned into Marder-esque tank destroyers/SPGs.
Could you perhaps do the Dynamic campaign? The one where you research and then buy units, and use said units to fight battles? I think it Would be really cool to see you and your squad try to defend against far too many soviets as the Germans. (I think it will be funny when you accidently kill your best and most expensive tank by hitting it with your artillery :P)
The dynamic campaign is definatly the best part of this game, including the fact that the best way to play it is to steal ennemy vehicle, making it that your army is almost entirely composed of ennemy tanks by the end of the game lol.
16:23 Those guys were holding themselves in reverse, in case the krauts mount a counter offensive that threatens Paris or even, New York, then they could push in, and stop them.
0:200:30 That is very accurate for Germans in late WW2, they were losing the war due to supply issues such as oil, fuel and metal to repair and on the vehicle side some German platoons had to resort to stealing allied tanks and other vehicles. Edit: Sorry for being a nerd at this, WW2 is just such an interesting and fascinating war to learn.
As it turns out, the bow gunner of the Panther and gunner of the Pershing both survived the war. They met in 2013 back in the same spot they’d once fought over in Cologne, the sole remaining survivors of their crews thanks to a combination of war and time. I recommend the book _Spearhead_ by Adam Makos, which heavily focuses on the stories of both crews, for those who want more information.
This is single handedly one of my most played games, after you introduced it to me I love this game too bits I'd recommend the valour mod after you put a lot of time into it, I play a lot of Hungary :>
That first mission reminded me of the probably apocryphal saying of German Eastern Front veterans fighting in Normandy: "If the Americans used infantry like the Russians they'd be in Paris in 2 weeks." (with ~seven times the IRL casualties)
Gates of Hell has to be the best WW2 RTS out right now. It's a tighter, more refined cousin to Men of War with the fat trimmed, way more variety in missions, a ludicrious attention to detail and some awesome support from the devs. I truly hope to see it's community thrive for many years to come.
Hears the Americans coming "Hanz, schtart ze panzer" "I can't zer's no fuel" "Get ze luger" "Ve have no ammunition" "...surrender?" "They are coming from ze train station. They are not here for prisoners..."
Gates To Hell is good, man, atleast, I really enjoyed it, as somebody who enjoyed Men of War: Assault Squad 2. The first campaign missions kinda sucked, but it was all made up for by the 'persistent units between attack-defense battles' conquest mode. As for being a WW2 PVP RTS, it is good. Less developed modding scene of course but that's still kind of present.
If you enjoyed Men of War then Gates of Hell is definitely worth it. It's a big improvement on pretty much every aspect, and the dynamic conquest mode rocks
The man who's Panther didn't have enough gas didn't learn enough from MoW, you gotta be a greedy little jerry can gremlin and steal all the fuel from the "free" units on the field, cars, buses, trucks (your friend's hull down tank). Anything's free game here for fuel
I don't really see how it is better, it looks identical. Not worse or better 😂 The schizophrenic AI I mean...obviously the cookoff animation makes it look slightly visually better than MOWAS2.
@@esmeecampbell7396 Not only does it look better visually, the game runs like a charm despite those improvements and the AI despite still being dumb in some places has been improved vastly. For example soldiers actually break out of cover to try to kill your tank snipping their positions now, instead of just sitting there. It also has actual campaigns, although the mission design can still be a bit hit or miss it is vastly better than just crappy skirmish missions, and the skirmish missions that exist are far better. Every issue was also improved in some way, it's still a bit jank but now you don't get vehicles flipping almost constantly sometimes. There is much more to it than just visual fidelity and GUI design, they did a lot of work under the hood and with the game design itself.
tip for you guys, inside vehicles there is a fuel can, you can put it in a guys inventory double click on it, he will equip it, you can then right click on a vehicle to fill fuel can, then you can fuel other vehicles :)
The Calliope crew you find eating cheese and drinking beer is a reference to Kelly’s Heroes, it’s noticeable with the tank commander looking like Oddball along with him even saying similar lines from the movie when their tank's engine was busted.
After clocking in over 300 hours on the original call to arms, I only recently started playing ostfront (bought along all the dlc's) and this has pretty much become my favorite game ever... To the point where every other rts games have now been ruined as this is the only one I'm able to play now...
Man ya'll had some bad luck on these missions XD I must've been lucky beating the first with minimal losses... probably had difficulty increase due to multiple commanders, or ya'll braved veteran difficulty.
this is literally my experience when I play modded gates of hell conquest on hard. Enemy spams millions of units and by the fifth battle, my whole army is practically soviet equipment save for maybe a tiger or panther that'll get blown up by a stray katyusha rocket
18:40 the 15cm field gun is so accurate is ridiculous lol, assuming you dont get sniped by counter battery it can dominate infantry and medium armor and it's max range (roughly 160 meters) there's practically no spread
10:05 This dude from New York and his buddies drove all the way from Kasserine Pass to tell you in particular that FDR sends his regards. 10:45 to 11:45 Literally, Fury But It's A Panther. 16:17 If the American Sniper praying wasn't enough proof The Gates of Hell Devs are based history nerds, the Battle of the Bulge mission has War Daddy go yell at Oddball to get his tank working.
I was searching for someone who realize that the Panther was like Fury and it was also accurate considering that the movie stated that they held the crossroad and it's very much awesome.
Rimmy you missed that the secret objective tank commander eating cheese is highly likely to be Oddball from Kelly's Heroes, and it looks like the armoured division commander is Brad Pitt from Fury.
Okay so apparently I actually managed to play a new game before Rimmy makes a video about it. Goddamm. (DLC technically, but I’m still taking that win)
been doing all the missions on the hardest difficulty with a friend, gotta say, the normal campaign missions are a decent challenge, but whoever tf made skirmishes needs to be sent to hell, those missions are dead ass impossible
