This is like the original ghost recon on steroids, what I still can't get over is the fact this has been developed by one person smh, this guy's doing 10 times a better job than AAA companies with millions in budget and thousands of developers. This is crazy, someone needs to take notes.
@@theneurologist1 yeah one guy, out if his own packet, with zero support from any major company, it shows you what passion and talent can do, when a company like Ubisoft can't pull this off, and one guy can, something is very wrong.
covered this one right at the beginning of last year. It's still not hitting where i personally need it to in terms of game feel, but even back then, vision-wise this game is going for exactly what i've been wanting for years. It's still not there IMO, but no ones swinging for the fences quite like BOBB
I could just play Tactical Barbie like that for hours without ever starting a mission. I need to check this out. That map does remind me of a LIDAR scan too. I knew exactly what you meant. It's like they had someone scan the whole area before the mission.
@@kekistanimememan170this game has been developed by this one guy, with many updates, for years now, it’s pretty much his baby. I don’t see him ever abandoning this
Fun fact: This game is developed by a french dev, and the "Commander Jaubert" name in the intel screen at 19:51 is a reference to the french special forces "commando marine" unit called Jaubert.
I love it. It’s great to be able to set up 2 of your guys as a sniper/spider team, or a support by fire team, and have them cover your infil/exfil whatever.
If i remember correctly the guy that developed this made really cool Arma 3 missions that i enjoyed playing. I recall in the Steam Workshop he was commenting that he was ditching Arma 3's notoriously buggy and difficult SDK. He stated he was making an indie game. I did purchase this game early on just to support him as i am right behind where he is coming from. It was a bit of a mess at the start and i, like many others were happy to let our investment grow over time. I am stoked that this has paid off and after watching your video i will be diving back in. Cheers.
is this game operator-focused only? or the dev want it to be a large-scale combat Arma like style also? if that's the case.. I do reaaally interested on how the AI system develops
This is basically the OG Ghost Recon games with modern graphics, GR 1 you could have your team move around and independently engage targets by commands in the command map, switch between troops etc... Seeing this 23 years after GR brings back some memories.
I got this game on STEAM some time ago when it was very basic, and I haven't played or looked at it in ages. I'm so glad to see what it's become; in my mind, it was what a modern RAINBOW SIX should have been instead of what we ended up with. Great video. The game can only improve, and I hope everyone shows it the love it deserves. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
@@ControlledPairsGaming Yeah there's people that have talked trash on it hard, not seeming to understand that this is 1 dude making a very ambitious tactical shooter. But bro, it works, everything about it works and is awesome.
I'm a Cyberpunk 2077 player, somehow the algorithm sent this video into my recommended, but I'm getting _so_ many mod ideas here. The stance thing is nuts, stance and going prone is one of those things I wish Cyberpunk had, detailed gun modding is another. This level of detail is friggin gorgeous.
I have it paused right now on the planning map, and I've got to say that that is stylized coolness! It is truely amazing what these single person developers can come up with.
Damn again. I need this kind of game for console! Ubisoft take notes! This is from someone who was mad that Ubisoft wasn’t listening and said “I’ll do it myself then” lol. This exactly what everyone wants for GR!
I don't think ubisoft will exist anymore after AC Shadows, some youtubers talked to ubisoft employes, when they asked them weather there was the risk they would go bankrupt, their answer literally was "there ain't a chance in hell we don't" Yup, their cooked, and they deserved it, they even said that the team who made Star Wars outlaws had the balls to call it Red Dead Star Wars during production, like Red Dead should be kept out their fucking mouths
Looking back, Drummer is super chad. He waltzes up to the door, picks it, opens it, looks in without drawing a gun, then waltzes in, whips out a gat to blast some guy who's apparently like: Oh shit one of the boys got some drip! before he has thoughts related to lead and copper.
God Bless This Dev ... I have been longing for the days of RB6, GR, Full Spectrum Warrior, SOCOM. Can't wait to build and try to recreate some of my favorite missions!
Ubisoft sent out a survey recently asking some very specific questions revolving around the future of the gr franchise. I referenced this game in one of my responses. Hope they peek it🤞
Broooo the main person I wanted to review this game. Thanks controlled pairs. The fact that a single developer can pretty much nail, what Ubisoft couldn't with the current ghost recon. Is sad. Smh. Yeah i know its not a finished game. But this game is no doubt going in the right direction. 💯😁
That's the power of UE5, we'll be seeing a lot more solo devs coming out of the woodwork. I've met Robert and know his family, he got a lot of stuff in-kind as well, which kept the El Mariachi film cost down.
I’ve had it for about 2 years now and been constantly impressed the dev’s, the one, singular, dev’s work lol. It’s not a “bad” thing and I don’t want people to read it as such, but the game is kind of like, wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle, if that makes sense. Again, not a bad thing. I got it because of OG ghost recon nostalgia and it is still the best brain off, tactical Barbie experience I’ve found yet. ‘Along sure your team has all the right gear for a mission, breathing kits, electronic and defuse kits, recon drones… it’s really awesome. Can’t wait to see what else he comes up with!
Note that you are able to adjust the distance in which they are able to fire for Rules of Engagement on the bottom of the Instant Orders section. It works especially well for your snipers that you have posted at a vantage point. I usually set sniper ROE at 150 meters for coverage. They'll fire automatically once the enemy is within their sector of fire.
The original Ghost Recon even awarded medals like the Purple Heart if your soldier was injured but not killed. Permadeath made you really try to keep everyone alive.
Hey, man. Just discovered both your channel and this game by finding this video. I’m an American who serves in a recon/assault company in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I can’t explain how entertained I am just by the beginning of the video, and watching/listening to you set up and talk about gear the same way we do rather than how typical game review TH-camrs do 😂 I love it, truly. Awesome stuff already lol, looking forward to the gameplay 🤘
Why the F are you serving in another countries military? Did you serve in the US military? Actual combat is a nightmare and risking your life for another country seems like a fools errand…
I’m so surprised to see all of the small things that were added to this game. It’s the small things that large developers utterly fail at that breaks my immersion or what have you. The fact that a one-man team did this is incredible
The length of time - that I've been waiting for a "Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear / Ghost Recon" game... And God blesses me with the mention of *this*. My inner 12 year old is happy - as - fuck.
Also, I know I may be excitedly jabbering, but even so, I adore this amount tac-planning in games with this much management and customization, because in a way it can be and get so cinematic like Call of Duty but with 2001 Ghost Recon + 2001 Rainbow Six levels of intricate planning, not to mention that it's "Delta Force"-y feeling that it brings. This is why I like what Combat Mission and (a similarly played yet eventual title i want to see be real) Battle Tactics, (despite both or one of them not getting in too deep about individual soldier loadouts) has to offer in terms of management and orders to give in combat situations.
Ok, did Pairs just admit to being in Special Operations? I mean it's not like we all didn't know it, but for years I've been watching this channel and he's refused to say a single word about it. I don't get on TH-cam for this kind of content that much anymore, so what did I miss? Has Pairs talked about his background at all? Someone please tell me, this is my favorite tactical game channel and I feel the FOMO right now
Wow, this game looks sick! It def still needs some time in the oven so to speak, but realistically it’s not too far out. It gives me hope as i haven’t heard of this game yet and i didn’t think anyone was taking up the daunting task of developing a tactical game such as this one. Really looking forward to some AI improvements and overall polish/QOL. This is basically what i’ve been looking for after i found Door Kickers 1 & 2 couple years back. I always wished those games were real-time and full 3D scale.
The game is sick, definitely not over selling it. What was better though was hearing your thought process in how you were fulfilling the mission - for someone with no military experience (outside the movies) that was brilliant
i played the og ghost recon a few months ago and thought "this is the coolest thing ever, why hasnt anything like this come out recently". ill have to check this game out
Oh my god it just keeps going deeper how did one person do all this? How long did it take? Just the bones of the features present in this solo dev title have the level of complexity of 3 or more modern tactical shooter titles combined. Give this person your money, I'm about to.
Oh so basically just like Rainbow Six. Except in Rainbow Six, you plan your mission from the start. The NPCs will follow the route and actions you’ve set for them, and go on your command.
Another RTS/FPS style game, the two genres that fascinate me the most together. The truth is that I've already tried several games like that, and I hope they continue to be encouraged to make more with the same style, because perhaps for those who like to play alone it's great, although if they include multiplayer it's not bad either. Also a Tower Defense combined with an FPS, something I didn't imagine and it also happened (Outpost: Infinite Siege)
Just stumbled upon your channel. Listening to you blend and relate your real life knowledge and experiences with the gaming content is raaad. Awesome stuff man
54:00 dude i was screaming at my monitor the whole time!! "there''s a guy in the building!! you know there's a guy in the building right?? how can you now see the guy there?? wait is he a part of your team?? nope! he is definitely a bad guy!!!" hahahhaha
I heard about this game when it was released into early access in 2022. It was in a rough state for a long time. 2 years later, this game is already so polished and feature-full. It's a real shame this game still is and will be a hidden gem.
Just bought the game, this looks amazing. Side note, also subbed, love seeing a former sof guy playing tactical games properly using real world tactics.
This game deserves a lot more attention and the dev is great. If he had some better cash flow for more help this could be the ultimate spiritual successor to the original ghost recons.
After watching this vid, this game NAILS everything! All the way from big open ops like this one, to small residential housing and room clearing! This game also has a K9 if I recall correctly (it may not have been re-added yet after a big rework)
Remember the more people who buy this game the more actual work comes out of it from the dev pls give it a chance and support my guy this is insane super fun game it feels like ground branch ready or not and arma made a gameplay love child and cod joined in to give us beautiful cutscenes amazing video well done to both the dev and my man stackin in the video
GLID Gaming and Controlled Pairs Gaming have become the channels I look forward to watching more content of. The tidbits of special forces real life info are gold. Big thank you both.
Oh, about BOBB: I purchased the Early Access 2 years ago. Being a professional dev myself, I am not surprised by the time it takes for BOBB and The Road To Vostok are taking. A single dev or 2 men team dealing with everything is a hard endeavour. I am supporting both. I hope they persist (both have Soecial Forces real men as driving forces, afaik).
GLID basically using their status as former military to seem above everyone else and that being their entire branding ain't cool. Every video has 'Royal Marine' this or 'Aussie Infantry' that. Like they're big enough channels now where they don't need to do that. I served in Force Co, 1st Recon Bn, 2017-2023 SSgt, but I don't go around telling people I was reconnaissance to get clicks and views, granted I don't make videos but still. That's why I appreciate Pairs because he doesn't go around advertising his military status as the reason why people should watch him. Also they're just basic Royal Marines, not SAS or SF anything, they act like they're the pinnacle of CQB when they're not lol. Just my honest opinion though. To each their own.
Damn, literally just started putting together the beginnings of a game that’s like old ghost recon and rainbow six with a mix of Arma and here we are with someone who’s already done it
Looks like the true style of tactical shooter i have been craving forever is actually being developed real thing . mw3 2023 and other recent triple AAA games pissed me off bad it got to a point were i wanted to make a great shooter myself with all these kinda mechanics!! then i stumble across this??? i hope this game soars ! it looks like its got potential
If only 6 Days in Fallujah had this kind of depth. It has the atmosphere, epic sound, good graphics. Its only missing this level of customization and mission variation
Good video dude, i'm very interested in this game. Lmao at 53:18 and 53:44 when you didn't saw the ennemy^^ It's enjoyable to watch someone play very tactical like you do.
Hey, I'm on your team! HAHA. But yeah, I just found this game and I don't know why I haven't heard of it sooner. I bought it immediately. At $17.99 I didn't even think twice. It is pretty damn cool especially for being an Early access game. There are few games that give you a feel of actual combat as far as prep, recon, intel, etc... Then when you get into your mission, it just gives you a decent amount of the real feel and pre-op stress/excitement of approaching your objectives while collaborating with your team to get the job done. There is SO much room for this game to grow and this is on a very good track to becoming one of the greats! If multiplayer could be implemented, this game would explode. I would love to be able to team up with a bunch of friends and compete with them and/or other people in a matchmaking setting in the different roles on both sides. But anyway, grab this game and support the devs because this is definitely gonna keep growing.
Wow, I really want this guy to bring all of what he did here to ready or not! The AI there is done relatively well, and the graphics are slightly better Combining the two would create the close to if not the ultimate tactical experience
This basicly like Rainbow 6 the original game, where you set up movements how you enter a room or building and clearing it. Its go quite a few similar features and some more advanced features. Looks like a good game!
I am curious. Those two shots at around 43:00: would the shots irl not be to loud and alarm others? During a quiet night, were the enemy is on the guard, anything that could be a gunshot might raise the alarm
This is how I feel about nuclear option, you've GOT to try it. It's fucking amazing. It's like warthunder and DCS had a baby and you can control your ground and naval units for somewhat strategic unit placement or assault. It's also like VTOLVR but on a flat screen. Give it a whirl!
I would love if the scopes are like pictures in pictures, so if you scope in a 8x zoom it doesnt zoom in your whole screen but only the scope like tarkov, ground branch etc.
To the developers of this game, I love you!! This is exactly what I’ve wanted, hopefully we can add custom patches on are plate carriers like devgru and cag
lol two guys called oliver did change the clones name lol but never knew about this game till i came across this video by accident as exmilitary myself i just immediately brought this game thanks for the review!!
I remember when Bigfry reviewed the EA a good while back. And man, he was not kind, and pretty much was sure the game was never going to progress. Well, here we are! Definately taking a look at this.
Just came across this video and when I saw that shorty sniper build the first thought that came to my mind was damn that's nasty then I thought what would be even nastier put a thermal scope onto that thing thing deadly AF
This is literally how I imagined "modern day" Ghost Recon would look like more than a decade ago! I am definitely going to keep an eye on this game from now on.
I'd love it if the developer adds in an optional soft-toned Operator voice that sounds like Cal from Undergrads. Being all like "Hey guy~~ I'm re~~~loading~~"
So this is pretty much Door Kickers 3D. This is so awesome!!! But I can't wonder the work that one guy has put upon himself. This would be too much work for one guy to make it into a perfect working game without bugs. I really do hope he gets support from at least a small firm. I really want this game to work
This is like the original ghost recon on steroids, what I still can't get over is the fact this has been developed by one person smh, this guy's doing 10 times a better job than AAA companies with millions in budget and thousands of developers. This is crazy, someone needs to take notes.
Only one person??? Jeezez!!!! This is insane!

Like they say, if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself
so like Operation Flashpoint
@@DeathGrunt666red river's an underrated gem of mechanics, voice work and music choice. Definitely needs a PC release
Waaaaaaaaaat?! All those RTS-esque features on top of such an in-depth FPS game is insane. I'm trying this...
Do it bro.
Old school Tom Clancy, bro
It's badass.
Its insane you can potentially play this like an rts
You can run it 3rd person as well!!!!

The character switching is something I've been looking for since the Conflict series. That mixed with Door Kickers looks kinda nuts
💯
I said the same thing, this is basically a 3D Real Time version of Door Kickers and i’m loving it. 🔥
The character switching similar to Character switching from Easy Red 2
That game is also fun FPS WW2 shooter

The amount of HOURS i dropped into Island Thunder back in the day...
Great memories.
Oh my god it just keeps going deeper how did one person do all this? How long did it take? Just the bones of the features present in this solo dev title have the level of complexity of 3 or more modern tactical shooter titles combined. Give this person your money, I'm about to.
Oh so basically just like Rainbow Six. Except in Rainbow Six, you plan your mission from the start. The NPCs will follow the route and actions you’ve set for them, and go on your command.
Another RTS/FPS style game, the two genres that fascinate me the most together. The truth is that I've already tried several games like that, and I hope they continue to be encouraged to make more with the same style, because perhaps for those who like to play alone it's great, although if they include multiplayer it's not bad either.
Also a Tower Defense combined with an FPS, something I didn't imagine and it also happened (Outpost: Infinite Siege)
This looks great. It's like the classics of RB6 and GR combined. Ill keep an eye on it.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Listening to you blend and relate your real life knowledge and experiences with the gaming content is raaad. Awesome stuff man
54:00 dude i was screaming at my monitor the whole time!! "there''s a guy in the building!! you know there's a guy in the building right?? how can you now see the guy there?? wait is he a part of your team?? nope! he is definitely a bad guy!!!" hahahhaha
I heard about this game when it was released into early access in 2022. It was in a rough state for a long time. 2 years later, this game is already so polished and feature-full. It's a real shame this game still is and will be a hidden gem.
I just found your channel and watch like 20 min and instantly subscribed. Thank you for your service, keep up with the great content.
Just bought the game, this looks amazing. Side note, also subbed, love seeing a former sof guy playing tactical games properly using real world tactics.
This game deserves a lot more attention and the dev is great. If he had some better cash flow for more help this could be the ultimate spiritual successor to the original ghost recons.
I can see an issue with providing too much mission information, the fog of war can be equally as fun
Agreed. You can turn it all off! I was just trying out "Default Normal." You can even control how accurate intelligence tends to be.
The koi fish sleeve tattoo is probably the most realistic lore I've ever seen in a military shooter
After watching this vid, this game NAILS everything! All the way from big open ops like this one, to small residential housing and room clearing! This game also has a K9 if I recall correctly (it may not have been re-added yet after a big rework)
Bro! That was awesome gameplay! Make some more of these!
I dig the tactical logic behind your decisions
I’m speechless. I slept on this game too but no more. Definitely going to check this out
Remember the more people who buy this game the more actual work comes out of it from the dev pls give it a chance and support my guy this is insane super fun game it feels like ground branch ready or not and arma made a gameplay love child and cod joined in to give us beautiful cutscenes amazing video well done to both the dev and my man stackin in the video
Cant thank you enough for highlighting this game forme. I bought it seconds after watching this video. Much appreciated good sir.
Brings me back to the old Ghost recon days🥲
GLID Gaming and Controlled Pairs Gaming have become the channels I look forward to watching more content of.
The tidbits of special forces real life info are gold.
Big thank you both.
Oh, about BOBB:
I purchased the Early Access 2 years ago.
Being a professional dev myself, I am not surprised by the time it takes for BOBB and The Road To Vostok are taking. A single dev or 2 men team dealing with everything is a hard endeavour.
I am supporting both. I hope they persist (both have Soecial Forces real men as driving forces, afaik).
GLID basically using their status as former military to seem above everyone else and that being their entire branding ain't cool. Every video has 'Royal Marine' this or 'Aussie Infantry' that. Like they're big enough channels now where they don't need to do that. I served in Force Co, 1st Recon Bn, 2017-2023 SSgt, but I don't go around telling people I was reconnaissance to get clicks and views, granted I don't make videos but still. That's why I appreciate Pairs because he doesn't go around advertising his military status as the reason why people should watch him. Also they're just basic Royal Marines, not SAS or SF anything, they act like they're the pinnacle of CQB when they're not lol. Just my honest opinion though. To each their own.
The UI still needs a SIGNIFICANT overhaul, but it looks like a big improvement over the last time I played. I'll have to check out the new update.
Wish these games would have a spraying system for your weapons. With stencils
I've been asking for something like that in VR for ages!
Damn, literally just started putting together the beginnings of a game that’s like old ghost recon and rainbow six with a mix of Arma and here we are with someone who’s already done it
Looks like the true style of tactical shooter i have been craving forever is actually being developed real thing .
mw3 2023 and other recent triple AAA games pissed me off bad
it got to a point were
i wanted to make a great shooter myself with all these kinda mechanics!!
then i stumble across this???
i hope this game soars ! it looks like its got potential
thanks for the introduction, jonah hill.
If only 6 Days in Fallujah had this kind of depth. It has the atmosphere, epic sound, good graphics. Its only missing this level of customization and mission variation
Was there much gear customisation normal infantry in 03-08?
They’re not going for operators or tier one units
@@BritishBloke246😂😂😂
@@ossian4316 What’s so funny?
@@BritishBloke246 you're just spot on. Not a lot of customization going on in the conventional Army.
Good video dude, i'm very interested in this game. Lmao at 53:18 and 53:44 when you didn't saw the ennemy^^ It's enjoyable to watch someone play very tactical like you do.
Hey, I'm on your team! HAHA. But yeah, I just found this game and I don't know why I haven't heard of it sooner. I bought it immediately. At $17.99 I didn't even think twice. It is pretty damn cool especially for being an Early access game. There are few games that give you a feel of actual combat as far as prep, recon, intel, etc... Then when you get into your mission, it just gives you a decent amount of the real feel and pre-op stress/excitement of approaching your objectives while collaborating with your team to get the job done. There is SO much room for this game to grow and this is on a very good track to becoming one of the greats! If multiplayer could be implemented, this game would explode. I would love to be able to team up with a bunch of friends and compete with them and/or other people in a matchmaking setting in the different roles on both sides. But anyway, grab this game and support the devs because this is definitely gonna keep growing.
30:34 gameplay starts here.
This developer made missions for Arma 3 and he made seal campaign.
Wow, I really want this guy to bring all of what he did here to ready or not! The AI there is done relatively well, and the graphics are slightly better
Combining the two would create the close to if not the ultimate tactical experience
SOCOM US Navy Seal was also a great tactical game series where you can give your unit members individual orders
This game blows my mind,.superb tactical depth,.first of its kind for me,,❤❤❤❤
This basicly like Rainbow 6 the original game, where you set up movements how you enter a room or building and clearing it. Its go quite a few similar features and some more advanced features. Looks like a good game!
I am curious. Those two shots at around 43:00: would the shots irl not be to loud and alarm others? During a quiet night, were the enemy is on the guard, anything that could be a gunshot might raise the alarm
This is how I feel about nuclear option, you've GOT to try it. It's fucking amazing. It's like warthunder and DCS had a baby and you can control your ground and naval units for somewhat strategic unit placement or assault.
It's also like VTOLVR but on a flat screen. Give it a whirl!
I would love if the scopes are like pictures in pictures, so if you scope in a 8x zoom it doesnt zoom in your whole screen but only the scope like tarkov, ground branch etc.
8.6 Blackout would be dope for that sniper role.
To the developers of this game, I love you!! This is exactly what I’ve wanted, hopefully we can add custom patches on are plate carriers like devgru and cag
Wow ...all i can say is thank you ......(Ghost recon original fan boy here)!
You're so thorough with the kits.. Love it
Thank you 4 ur serv. Every1 n my fam served & did multiple tours, except me blk sheep, Moms is USMC SgtMajor E-9 33yrs
Didn’t know I needed this was the game I needed all this time. Hell yeah to this solo dev.
lol two guys called oliver did change the clones name lol but never knew about this game till i came across this video by accident as exmilitary myself i just immediately brought this game thanks for the review!!
gonna reinstall this, I knew it would eventually be this good, great vid, hope it gets coop
I remember when Bigfry reviewed the EA a good while back. And man, he was not kind, and pretty much was sure the game was never going to progress. Well, here we are! Definately taking a look at this.
As your medic. I approve of this game and now own it.
As you were assigning positions to your squad I said out loud, "he sees that guy, right?" Negative, haha
Just came across this video and when I saw that shorty sniper build the first thought that came to my mind was damn that's nasty then I thought what would be even nastier put a thermal scope onto that thing thing deadly AF
LOVE seeing a game that is touching on GEOINT a bit!
This is literally how I imagined "modern day" Ghost Recon would look like more than a decade ago! I am definitely going to keep an eye on this game from now on.
I'd love it if the developer adds in an optional soft-toned Operator voice that sounds like Cal from Undergrads. Being all like "Hey guy~~ I'm re~~~loading~~"
Bro I just started laughing when you did all that sneaking and planning and then your guys start running past the open window.
So this is pretty much Door Kickers 3D. This is so awesome!!! But I can't wonder the work that one guy has put upon himself. This would be too much work for one guy to make it into a perfect working game without bugs. I really do hope he gets support from at least a small firm. I really want this game to work
