Dude ive been watching you since i was 15 and im 22 now. Your are the reason i play strategy and overhead games. You really introduced me to a whole other side of gaming that never gets old.
@@connermurphy1146Lol same, I'm 20 and have been watching dixplex since at least 2015ish when he started doing men of war mods. Made me fall in love with a genre that I didnt even know existed at the time.
@@wpsp2010Same thing here man, just realized I’ve been watching this guy since about 2015-16 and now I’m 19 and in university. I haven’t played any games of this genre yet but that’s going to change soon.
The fact that the battle was unscripted really gives me old video vibes. When some of the battles you had to take control of units for most of the duration
It was initially its own game.. last minute publisher / engine rights drama led to them throwing everything under CTA and making it a 'DLC' for engine rights. It was a shock at the time.. CTA has.. much to be desired.... BUT... Ostfront pulled through IMO, solid game that stands on it's own... even if it won't run on its own ;)
@@granola661 Agreed. It's sad because it is relatively close to being something but... Tiny maps, missing animations.. overall jank.. Not the game for me. The lack of death /interim stance animations is one of the craziest design choices I've seen in a game that has first\third person.
for its time back then combat mission was amazingly awesome. :D what i rather moan about is that the call to arms devs delivered an awesome platform but seems to have not much mission designers and stuff, it could be one of the top RTS games imo. But hey the modsupport seems to be on top level. The community does such a good job on this.
@@ArgelTal_ I feel Call to Arms was undercooked. Like they just decided to give up 2/3 through making a great game. Like they delivered we loved it, then it never continued on and went anywhere.
When you get the time, perhaps you could make a Gates of Hell scripted Battle of Jadotville between the Irish UN troops and the French mercs alongside the Katangese.
Makes you wonder why devs still choose to make 100m x 100m maps with LOS at 10m. It would be so good to play a modern Call to Arms with realistic distances that didn't need 200 mods to play, like game changing.
Been playing with it myself. The Mod + Gates of Hell graphics and engine is just so amazing. All the new features are so incredible, really adds to the multilayered problems modern Generals will encounter with new age warfare and all its sweet complexities.
*I am reposting this comment from a previous video because I didn't have any answer* : I bought Gates of Hell a year ago after seeing your videos. I'm a huge fan of your work btw. After buying the game, I really wanted to create my own custom battles like you, but I struggled a lot to understand the way it worked. I tried watching TH-cam videos, but there's practically no good tutorial whatsoever. That's why I'm asking if it would be possible to have a tutorial video, kind of a behind-the-scenes look. So you could show us how to create our own cool battles on Gates of Hell. If you do that, I'll be immensely thankful.
@@DiplexHeated Wow, thank you so much, that means a lot to me. Can't wait to see your content. I don't know if it's a possibility but some tutorial video on Men Of War Assault Squad 2 could really help a lot too. By the way, the video you've just released is really cool and it's true that large-scale battles have a more realistic effect.
I like ground vehicles in the Cold War mod in the Men of War assault squad 2. But in the mod for this game the helicopters are definitely better made. Because in MoW mod, helicopters and planes are simply terrible, and I don’t forget about drones. All aviation and everything that flies is terrible in that mod for men of war
What I love about this mod is that ERA and composite armors behave realistically and other factors like blowout panels, laser warning devices and other details.
My stupid ass joined a US Army National Guard Infantry Brigade (light) in the winter of '87. They used to tell us that our average life expectancy on a battlefield was 4 (four) seconds 😐 Let's just say I'm glad I never saw myself looking over my M16A1 at the oncoming Warsaw Pact.
Can we just take a second to admire that you are playing a modern strategy game that was turned into a ww2 game via dlc, and than converted back into a modern game via a mod 😂
@@bobsteve4812 this map is El Matador's on the steam workshop, you can look up his name there. Some of his maps are actually included in the mod though in Skirmish mode.
You should try a game called Regiments made by MicroProse. Very good, in my opinion. They used to make the best milsim games around, also in my opinion.
I think it could be cool if you brought back the campaign series you used to do with the Red Rising mod a few years ago but instead did it with this mod. Can't remember the name of the editor series but I do remember it was amazing,
Man this map really reminds me of Ukraine. Big fields and trench warfare. Could you do a frontal assault with the contemperary tactics used i Ukraine? Shaping artillery and humvee assault etc?
I'm not familiar with this game. It looks great but are there formation move orders, waypoints, and/or pause-order-action gameplay? Having to click on every single object just seems a bit dated?
I love strategy games, i just can never find the right balance between being slow enough you can enjoy the view and sweaty micromanaging rock paper scissors like total war and COH
I definitely understand the TW part. Almost never enough time to appreciate the battles up close unless you view the replay or if it's a bridge slogfest.
You said 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s right? Then why are Abrams being fielded…. They didn’t enter server with the army until the 1980s though they where in production in 79…
Great game. I love how the player used actual Russian tactics by not using any tactics at all and throwing your soldiers straight into an entrenched enemy position.
@@shipovnik89 not in this day and age where iphones and go pro cams allow you to see exactly how the enemy fights.. And the russian army is SUSS at fighting wars. The US military could conquer moscow in under 48 hours if it wanted to
Be sure to watch in theatre mode if youre on PC, it seems to improve quality greatly.

That's what happens when the "DLC" is better than the base game but yeah, it's pretty funny.

Would be cool, but there's no mod with un troops and african soldiers in GoH
Would be good if you could find a way to make this happen!
NEVER heard of Jadotville, thanks for commenting!

Legit looked like an Rts perspective of a BF3 multiplayer match
They really need to make future war sims multi threaded, imagine thousands of units with little to no lag!
try warno, in 10v10 u can see more than 1000 soldiers on the battlefield

This is perfect
Make more of videos like this with the mod
Amazing. Wish Combat Mission looked like this
I like how the WW2 DLC for the modern era game has better modern combat
Looking forward to seeing more of this! This vid did also illustrate how spoiled we usually are by your scripting.
Glad your liking the mod! You should check out the New York map El Matador made, its a true masterpiece.
Where can we download the maps for this mod?

@@that207guy7 Got it, thx for the info and amazing job on the mod!
@@bobsteve4812 Thanks man
we need a WORLD IN CONFLICT 2! That game in almost 2 decades old and its destruction and explosion graphics still put newer RTS games to shame.
always love returning to your channel to see you making great content still! keep up the great work man!
World In Conflict vibes
Love when you upload man, been a fan since 2016
thanks man! 2016 was a good ass year.
Im not sure why but I hadnt seen ANY of your videos in my subscription feed recently, youtube is being weird, GREAT VIDEO THOUGH!
4:00 looks amost like those massive tank drills video, of russian training grounds fly over.
You should do like a entire story or something like your own story of Cold War gone hot, that would be amazing
This looks amazing for like 2010
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was remake of the battle of Hostomel Airport
You got me interested just by saying "combat mission vibe", nice mod 👍
Chaparral licking its lips at the start of the match
So excited to see what you decided to do next with this mod being available. A battle of the bulge scenario would be sweet
Loved it and want to see more
this looks pretty amazing!
Looking forward to what you can do with this mod
I found combat mission to clunky and totally non intuitive. This is more my cup tea
OMG its looks amazing!!!!!
closer and closer to graviteam tactitcs
Very realistic.
This reminds me so much of the battlefield 3 map armoured shield with the windmills and the tanks
Damn this looks really good. More of this please :)
This looks great!
If you do a Ukraine scenario it would be realistic to try and add the FPV drones, lancets and glide bombs.
Hey Diplex - I missed you. I am back to watch your videos again. Keep up the great work. 1st comment!
glad to have you back!
Heck yeah!
In fact, the map was so big it would have been expansive enough for me to unzip my fly.
man i love love your videos
You should try a game called Regiments made by MicroProse. Very good, in my opinion. They used to make the best milsim games around, also in my opinion.
this is like warno but with more details.
This mod would be PERFECT for a modern Russia vs Ukraine engagement.
I don't know what would be interesting in seeing t-72's fighting t-72's.

Love your videos
thanks men!

I can even run this on my old Toughbook, 30fps but it works that amazing
They must add some level of fog of war though

He was talking about hotmod1968, this mod covers 85, 95, and 2005
please do more vids like this
I wanna see the infantry fight
So this is a modern warfare mod of a ww2 game mod of a modern combat game.
Looks great, but man that is a big mod! :)
i've been playing the mowas2 cold war mod (previously called ww3) and my pc struggles in most of the open maps. I'm about to fry my poor 1060
ist this mod enough for the levoly game? i will buy it only for this mod. playing atm Call to Arms
but i think this one is better with mod

How do I get and install this mod? Very nice!!
Looks good I really fancy this game need a decent Pc first but this would be one of initial purchases ❤
How do you play this map once you have activated the mod? Do we have to go into the editor mode and load it and play it from there?
Looks amazing but so hard to find and select units
So from modern (Call to Arms) to ww2 (Gates of Hell) and back to modern, lol. If it works I guess! Sure looks good.
What mission is this? I have the mod but cannot find any decent mission and can only play skirmish mode.
Wait, so:
Call to Arms: modern
Gates of Hell: makes it WW2
the mod: takes the mod and makes it modern again???
really cool
Love it
Where did you get that map from?
How did u get the atmosphere to be that dark and the zoomed out view?
is there a morale mechanic in this game? e.g. can units panic?
There isn't any sort of morale mechanic

How does this differ from Call to Arms which is about modern combat?
Call to Arms is dead game abandoned by developer team, and very unoptimized.
GoH is just infinitely better
@@Rumcajs981 Have they fixed pathfinding, ease of unit placement etc? Last I played GoH, it was a massive downgrade compared to CtA.

LOOKS GOOD. ITS LIKE REALISM.
Crazy the only time I see Russian infantry support their armor is in a game!
can you select more than one vehicle at a time, I only saw you select vehicles individually?
Yep, you can select and move multiple units at the same time.
