@iRacerJared I went through In 2016 and we had a 1 day block on it. No advanced TTPs, just basic POLR immidiate entry, straight from the Ranger Handbook. Learned more LP/hybrid techniques at our unit. Had a bunch of swat guys in our guard unit. I'm told not every unit is the same in embracing new stuff tho.
I used to work with someone that was actually in this battle in 04. It sounded like a total madhouse. Im glad this game has come out to give us a very small sample of it.
so much for ''weapons of mass destruction'' horse shit lies they fed us hahah Still we needed to go do what we do for our country. I can't look at our government same way after that
not a veteran but I will say its sad that this game got delayed for so long bc people back in the early 2000 really though this would disrespect vets but rather it shines a light to the lives they lived through
I think it’s good. The weirdest part about being a combat veteran is that people will either treat you like a hero or a villain, when in reality all you want them to know is just what it feels like. Combat feels like what id imagine playing in the Super Bowl does with how much pressure is on you. - what I wish people could understand is how insanely fucking scared you are-it’s a fear that just injects itself right into your bones and paralyzes you, and all the concussion from gunshots or rockets just makes you want to burrow yourself into the dirt like a mole and hide from all of it. - I can’t speak for other vets but it’s not about being seen as a tough guy or a hero or a “real man”, I just want the average person to understand what it feels like to be in so much fear that it transports your mind to a different place and you rely on your bros heavily that I feel more of a connection to the dudes I didn’t even like on my deployment than I do my own blood.
I am super hyped for this dude. The one thing about combat is that many times you feel like you are in a dream, you feel like you're viewing yourself in third person and you're floating through the situation and are running on pure animal instinct and training. It differs from person to person honestly. But the fear is with you, either in the situation or for some people it comes later and you end up vomiting and some people even piss themselves without knowing. Its a pure adrenaline rush and usually in that moment you just shut down and roll through.
Not accurate or realistic enough. No actual camel jockeys died. Also, you did not do your jobs properly. There are still those damn camel jockeys still alive, both young and old. George Bush should have just dropped the nuke.
As someone who participated in Operation Al Fajr (and Vigilant Resolve for that matter), and operated in Fallujah throughout 2004 and 2005, I just hope that this game doesn't suck and does right by my fellow Marines. It'd really piss me off if it turns into another _Insurgency: Sandstorm_ or some FPS class-based shooter which gets a "tactical" label but completely lacks any actual small unit tactics, like the bastardized _Rainbow Six_ and _Ghost Recon_ games.
I really don’t think this game will go that route. I only played about 20 minutes but it felt really similar to ready or not if you’ve ever played/seen that. I have high hopes and this game could really be something special if we give it time
@@Yaaddaa I assume it will go into detail. It shows a movie explaining the war from both sides when you first launch the game so it seems to be going for historical accuracy but time will tell I suppose
@@Oscar-yk6ww let’s hope it doesn’t end being a one sided propaganda piece but in the current state its just a brainless kill the stereotype looking terrorist simulator
Yh this game is unreal from the content it has the potential is huge and now the games functional, I hope the devs continue to fulfill it. The teamwork is the best ive done yet blown my mind with audio, just a few things need tweaking but overall the fps I've been looking for. Full of immersion, finally no COD players going rambo and every class has a purpose, quality game.
My question is for any Fallujah vets out there: How did you keep track of the houses that were cleared?.... was there a marking system of some sort?. Also thank you for your bravery and service ....
Just downloaded this on early access 2 hours ago. Have so far tried playing as a single marine. Have died many many times, only killing a max of 5 enemy before dying in my best attempt. I love how each time you play, the building interiors are different and the enemies are in different locations. This is going to be an immense game when the full version is released. Will try and se if I can do this mission alone but have more chance of winning the lottery I would predict. I have one book specifically about this battle but am going to see if any more are available. It was a mini Stalingrad.
this is the military shooter i've been craving my whole life. but not yet, imma wait for single player. having friends is one thing, having competent military ones is another
BUT you could shoot at mosque if you had P.I.D being engaged from there. Shawn Ryan has a clip of some guys he’s interviewed that participated PBS has a decent doc about it coming up on 20yr anniversary. I will never forget these years of enlistment.
possibly later on when they modified the roe once command was made aware of such cowardly tactics. in the beginning of the campaign, us forces were still on hearts and minds mode. that goes out the window when your buddies are dying
Early roe prohibited any engagement on religious sites regardless of pid. That got modified later on because the insurgent forces realized that they could use those sites to take advantage of our roe.
The 5 hours I played today was amazing, sure there is some people that don't get the teamwork aspect of it but once we lose a couple that start to get the hang of it. And the audio is a bit buggy but that's what ealy access is about. So far its a 8/10 but it'll definitely be a 10/10 with a few more tweaks
YO THEY ACTUALLY GOT THE REAL BLUE BONGO. No other military simulattion has so accurately presented the legendary workhorse of the insurgency, the blue bongo. Every suspicious military age male worth knowing was riding around in a blue bongo in the mid to late 2000s in western iraq
Hey DevilDog, super glad you’re covering this game. I’ve been following it for years and am hoping it comes to Series X, don’t have a PC yet. Was watching some videos recently about Iraq and was wondering, did you guys ever hear about Baghdad Bob while you were deployed? Hope this gets answered.
Mostly a Nintendo switch gamer now but this is the 1st pc game since half-life 2 that is seriously tempting me to go back to the master race😊 this looks amazing and console ports could be fun but its made for pc in my opinion
Apartment is probably the easiest mission other than Phase Line Henry (convoy). The hardest mission is usually Northern Train Station, although Jolan Park can be difficult too
I really hope it wont take long to mod the game to have more than 4 players in the same coop session. The amount of angles to cover with just a fireteam is overwhelming, even a full sized squad would be hard pressed in the same situation.
Why are the sights not aligned when you ads? Is it so that your view doesn't get blocked by the rear sight? Edit: It's not really ADS I guess? I can see actual ADS now which is normal
does this have AI teammates? i remember that being advertised, i wonder if its any good. the cut scenes look awesome. will be nice to hold us over until the next ready or not update
Me and 2 of my friends buyed it and only thing we really hate is the timer. You get 15-20 minutes missions while we could spent even an hour going room by room, house by house looking for caches, IED's and enemy combatants instead of that we kinda had to rush everything just because of timer.
Complain about it in the Steam discussions. The devs will listen to you. After all it's still in Early Access and a lot could change but you need to let them know.
The shooting seems pretty clunky. The sound design is pretty good except the one time at 04:28 where the guy is shooting at you almost point blank. When is this due out?
As per the roadmap they hope to have fully fledged co-op and singleplayer randomly generated missions as well as accurately recreated missions from the actual war with real people and such. So at full release it should please just about everyone
My big brother who’s a former marine is so incredibly intrigued with this game and asked me to show him some videos of it. About five minutes later he asked me to turn it off because it was bringing shit back that he wants to keep locked away but he still wants to play it when it comes out dispute my slight protest to him playing it
“Because guess what? You can’t shoot at mosques.” The level of hyper-realism extends to crazy nonsensical ROEs. They’d have to court martial me because that sniper would be getting a closed casket funeral.
When you play it in a very organized way, the game is absolutely amazing! Hope it be mod friendly. MUCH better than Insurgency Sandstorm or any other game. AI is not very smart, but it still MUCH better tha these games like RoN, Insurgency, etc.
Want a minimalist hud setting that only shows vital info for those who want zero hud but newd to know: how many mags left, how many bullets in my mag. Everything else, checking wounds doesnt need it and i hate how big that text is on the screen. But not being able to check your mag or remaining mags withnhud off sucks
I’m not tryna ask for toooo much and the game looks dope, I wish there was a way to drag a downed teammate and do the healing animation. Ya know get fire superiority then get the wounded to cover
the audio of them speaking reacting with accurate reverb indoors is scary and cool
After 10,000 years, this game has finally come.
facts
this game's release represents a victory against woke cancel culture
@@cagneybillingsley2165 Hopefully getting rid of pride day at baseball games is next.
I was there Gandalf. I was there 8000 years ago, when the game was announced.
For damn sure and can’t wait to get into this game on release tomorrow! Hopefully gonna be a badass early access
dude, this game brings back memories of clearing buildings in the early days in mosul. or the caves in afg. shit is crazy.
Did they ever expand the basic CQB course for infantry after all this?
Thank you, and glad you made it home.
@@iRacerJared yes, we did so much battle drill 6 after this.

I was 14 when I heard about this game I told all my friends and family ….. I’m now 28 years old and been waiting
Same man!! I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I’m alive to see it!
I'm also 28 and I heard about it last week. Think I'm gonna get this one when it drops too
I'm 31
I think 18 years
same mate ahahaha
I can only imagine the fear, stress and adrenaline pumping going through all those buildings. This game is gonna be so awesome!
I'm going to sink so many days, hours, minutes, seconds, sleepless nights into this game. Cannot wait.
Can't believe it's finally here! Thanks DD and thanks for your service brother. You're a super underappreciated TH-camr man.

Buzzing cant wait for this on console aswell
I've imagined what it's be like being in a band of brothers, but this just takes the imagination to a whole new nightmare
Don't worry! We all don't make it through it!
"motivational speech from devil dog"
This may be the most intense game video I have ever seen! My heart is racing from watching this game!

The way you guys move and communicate is top tier. I’d go to combat with you fellas any day.
That feel when the voice chat sounds more realistic than the pre scripted AI
As a 11b this looks pretty good. Can’t wait to try it out, definitely brings back memories.
My question is for any Fallujah vets out there: How did you keep track of the houses that were cleared?.... was there a marking system of some sort?. Also thank you for your bravery and service ....
You mark the wall by the door with company and platoon number/letter.
Colored flags, chemlights… etc.
Sims like this in VR would be epic
Good rolling with you! If your trying to get some BattleBit in as well let me know!

I like how they acted as if they were real marines but they were so uncoordinated and just strayed off by themselves occasionally
It's a game and the channel owner has for sure served in the same or similar war. FYI.

Looking awesome that they finally make it happen after a couple of years when the game was canceled great gameplay dude.🙌🙌👏👏👍👍👌👌
looks good and the voip audio sounds nice. Imagine clearing these buildings with a 20" barrel...
Thank you for your service devil! Great video 👍🏼
I hope they work on the explosion noises & ambience outside of buildings, other than that it looks very promising
Mostly a Nintendo switch gamer now but this is the 1st pc game since half-life 2 that is seriously tempting me to go back to the master race😊 this looks amazing and console ports could be fun but its made for pc in my opinion
The flashlights being POS is a nice touch.

Apartment is probably the easiest mission other than Phase Line Henry (convoy). The hardest mission is usually Northern Train Station, although Jolan Park can be difficult too
Imagine this studio create more games similar to this. I can imagine playing as Kurdish forces fighting ISIS.
Thanks to whole humanity's stupidity, there's always be a historical foundation for such games
People are dumb, so war keeps going on.
its a really good starting point for this game solid foundation for improvements and additions,
You know *munches on burger* I think this procedurally generated map thing is going to be the bomb… no pun intended.

And all that happened in a single building, nuts
Excited to play soon.
I really hope it wont take long to mod the game to have more than 4 players in the same coop session. The amount of angles to cover with just a fireteam is overwhelming, even a full sized squad would be hard pressed in the same situation.
This is the only thing I didn’t really like on the roadmap. I expected there to be like 6-8 people missions but I’m sure mods will come soon
It should have been an 8 man squad. It's overwhelming for a four man team to clear buildings.
Am getting some old school black hawk down vibes. I love it.

This game looks promising. But i will wait until the full release. There are too many early access games that never made it to the full release
Why are the sights not aligned when you ads? Is it so that your view doesn't get blocked by the rear sight? Edit: It's not really ADS I guess? I can see actual ADS now which is normal
Point shooting, so your field of view isn't obscured by the rear sight
I just want to say, the tinitus that they fade in when you walk deep into a building is off-puting.
does this have AI teammates? i remember that being advertised, i wonder if its any good. the cut scenes look awesome.

It would be dope to be able to invade the game like sniper elite 5 and be the sniper. But you cant move since you cant ve engaged.

Summary of gameplay: FUCK FUCK FUCK! Love it!

Can't wait till its out
What are the reactions from soldiers who were over there in this time depicted in-game?
