Appreciate the incredibly work that went into this deep dive, you've got some great commentary here. After all the Squad we've played in the past, podcasts done, and ideas shared, if there's anyone that understands my frustrations and vision, its you. Hoping we don't let you down.
Well you guys are actually "players" first! When you have players (actual gamers) behind talented developers, it has the makings of something great. Moi and Karma are probably my 2 most viewed channels. Much love and respect. Good luck on the project.
I would be interested in the game tanks to description here, but what sold it to me instantly is name, Karma. It is exactly what me and my coop friends are looking in the games
I 100% agree with this, some games might look interesting but they die out. Helldivers is dying out now because of the poor leadership of community management causing bad game changes (the nerfs)
@@SanMonki I wouldn't say it's bad, it just released EXTREMELY early. There's barely anything to do in the game and by the time there is all interest will have died.
i agree however i think its extremely refreshing to see genuine in game footage not boasting extreme nasa PC pixel perfect graphics. i think it shows a bit of transparency for a game development team especially nowadays not over fluffing the graphics in just their trailer footage all for us to try the game out on a medium end PC and it run like shit even on low settings.
@@meferswift probably not, most of this is made by people that like tactical shooters, or gaming company that makes simulators or realistic games like Bohemia or OWI.
@meferswift alot of people are over spawning running 8 seconds and dying. Responding and repeating. I played cod from cod mw2 back in gradeschool up til cold war ish. It's old now. Once run and gun slide canceling drop shotters became commonplace it's lost its appeal to many shooters. And not sure if you're aware but most shooters have wanted realism since day 1. Tech limits have always been the bottleneck. Now it's just money and effort. So many games do many parts flawlessly. Just seems to never be all in one game.
What milsim games really need is a massive player base to go with the experience to make it as large scale as possible. More games into the milsim sphere that are a lot like what we already have will simply dilute everyone's player base
@@hankhohn5017 yeah that would be kinda tough to solve unless you create a custom backplate that acts as a heatsink, or just make a processor that is more efficient in hot weather I guess
The app they got running on the phones is called ATAK its for mil/leo/civ and its been used to bridge comms ,cams and maps in one package. Normally I would just wishlist and wait till I seen gameplay but it being made by karmakut and his guys im giving it more hope.
I see lots of people seemingly feeling slighted by the over saturation of milsims not delivering or just being too similar with each other. Fallujah, ground branch, grey zone.. can you blame them?
The problem is that all they see is a realistic game and assume it's going to be good without looking at what the game is actually trying to do. A good example is that you just listed 3 different games which are all wildly different from one another, where realism is the only thing that they have in common. Gray Zone Warfare is an extraction shooter with progression, Fallujah is an FPS made to recreate an actual historical event with historical limitations, and Ground Branch is like a milsim sandbox. All games are trying to achieve something different. If you just buy a game because it's realistic and then are disappointed because you didn't stop to think about what you actually wanted out of the game then that is your fault.
@@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289 post scriptum, zero hour, hell let loose, operation harsh doorstop, enlisted, beyond the wire, isonzo.. these are all within the last few years. we can nit pick all the sub genres and small differences but you have to admit the community is spread thin. Games in this genre die fast. Replayability is low when there isn’t a stable fan base. I’m just trying to point out that this is the reason people are so skeptical
I just wanna know what the actual VISION is. the end goal. an animatic, or a parapgraph long detailed explination on what the game will be. or at least the first ietration of it. Say Bellum is in 1.0. I boot up the game, I spawn into a server, what should I expect? will it be like Karma's very popular Liberation game on arma 3? will it be more of a arma reforger game mode? tdm? pvp or pve?
would love to be able to play as a Carl Gustaf team with a friend where one holds the launcher and fires it while the other loads it and yells "back blast area clear"
I love the diagetic implementation of the mini-map as the gps smart watch and the main map in the ATAK phone. I hope calling in support systems works like the MW19 campaign, where your character uses an IZLID or keying over the radio with their PTT. I would also love to see these diagetic features as mods in Arma Reforger.
Yup. Just so tired of the generic laser tag as Mr. M4 marine man in a desert or eastern european forest. These dudes just keep releasing these flops expecting people to get excited about carbon copy clones instead of having the spine to take a risk and try something new that may or may not be received well.
@@shadow7988 exactly. africa is a relatively "new" environment for these types of games, but you look at opfor, and it's standard copy/paste wubba-dubba jihad guys. i wish a development team would go way out on a limb for once and take a chance. let the people have something entirely new, even if they have to warm up to it.
Potentially a good game as long as the emphasis isn't all on communications/command communications which really kill the fun of a game. In Arma there can be too much command comms where you want to shove the mic down someone's throat then force them to go fight like a grunt! Personal comms between players would be fine but hope they don't force a player to use "Proper" Radio procedure. If that's going to be the thing let them go create a 911 dispatcher game and let the player get back to the fun of military combat.
It would be really cool if this game had NPCs. Thinking mainly civilians. For example on an urban map they'd be reacting to the war around them, hiding etc. The only reason would be to increase that immersion. Maybe even animals.
The chest monitor is a real life system, it’s essentially a small PDA that’s connected to other PDAs and broadcasts real life location. Generally it’s usually leadership kit, but it basically functions similar to how this game portrays.
The chest mounted Navigation device is actually realistic, newly upgraded German special forces have this devices, which is used as same way as we used in Games, If one team mark locations or just draw some arrows and lines than automatically it will be appear on friendly team devices.
I’m a standard infantryman stationed at fort Campbell. Every infantry unit here uses this. It’s called an ATAK. They hook up to your radios and you load maps to wherever you’re operating. You can upload targets and routes. Every team leader and up runs them.
A few things to note: Those are not 240 bravos in the promos. Those are 249 Saws with 100rnd mini packs, which is a solo-run weapon system. Also, Saw/240 gunners run with an M145 scope on their weapons, not Holographics; holos are very rare in the U.S. military; in fact, the primary site used on the previous generation of rifles was the ACOG or a red dot sight.
Great video on this up and comer. I am excited to see that Karma is attached to it... it gives me faith that we will have a fun, realistic tactical shooter in Bellum.
Would love to see crewed weapons operate in such a way that the gunner can reload solo if need be but it's much faster if the AG/crewmate is helping out. For MGs they can more quickly slam a new can down allowing the gunner to reload faster than if he were fumbling about on their own allowing the gunner to maintain general line of sight. Same for RPG teams, Gunner would have to drop the ass down & point the business end up to reload or vice versa for a Carl but an AG can just reload for them much faster while they're still taking a knee allowing them to maintain line of sight. Mortar teams could drop a can of Tootsie Rolls next to the mortar and the guy on the mortar COULD do everything solo but a teammate unpackaging and hanging for you is much faster. As for kits I like the idea of something in between Squad's role system and Arma's virtual arsenal.
Dude, I hope this game would be a little cheaper then most games out there... The website gives some super promising looking screenshots I hope this game would not disappoint I am TEMPTED to buy it after how others disappoint I just want that experience and I hope this team delivers, it looks like a good start really.
I looove the idea of the small man teams. I’m looking forward to the delivery of this game and if the community holds it up. I’m curious to see how well a milsim tactical shooter can hold players accountable for actually playing tactically through teamwork though. I feel like a lot of these games end up crumbling at some point because the community slowly starts to lose the tactical teamwork sense. Squad started out really well with that, but the last couple times I’ve played have been radio silence and people running and gunning solo.
MW3 was one of my favorite CODs because a lot of maps were set in Africa. Black hawk down kind of inspired the love for those settings. Can’t wait to see what they come up with.
I played broken arrow which is kind off my RTS equivalent and it was made by clans of the respective successor wargame red dragon and previous itterations. I loved it. So Bellum might finally give me what Squad couldn´t. Getting rid of spagetti-code and more focus on the mechanics we all suffer through and not factions not needed right now.
These companies need to embrace StrangeReal. That way you can decouple from real world politics and explore all kinds of interesting stuff. Otherwise this looks awesome.
Wow!! It is like my biggest wish come true!!! Thanx @karmakut for this. I can't wait!!!! I am so happy to see a FPS that has the realism of ARMA ACE!!!
Battlefield 4 has mortars I used them a lot when I played. I think BF3 might have had them as well. This game looks really fun though especially if it's mix of the best things from Arma 3, Squad, Ground Branch and Ready or Not.
Karma’s finally creating his perfect game. If it’s anything like what he’s talked about for years then this is going to be the coolest tactical shooter.
This sounds absolutely amazing and refreshing especially knowing that karmakut will be involved makes me feel a lot better on the moral standing where this game will land I've always liked his content he's always been genuine and about gameplay and immersion I'm excited to see where this goes I personally would pay $70 for a game that is prioritizing the game over the money. You make a good game money will follow congratulations on all the progress you've made so far it looks amazing🎉
I wish the third game like Squad was more popular. Beyond The Wire was published by Offworld and sadly its dead. I wish it got the same treatment Squad44 got.
Looks awesome. Love the African setting. I hope they support PVE - to me that is critical - after spending the best part of 35k hours on Arma3 scripting particularly adding additional functionality to AI - this will add greater variety and gameplay options. Of course we also need fire propagation and wild life. Not asking much. 😎
Not a 240 but it’s alright. The 249 or the (Squad Automatic Weapon-SAW) is used in a squad at the fire team level, so two per squad one for each fireteam both Alpha and Bravo team, in a traditional standard Army infantry squad. The 249 although it could be flexed in this role, 99.99% of the time the 249 would be with the fire teams in the squad level. Because the weapon is intended to be operated by a singular individual. (Shoutout to my boiis staying on line with that beast) Not too familiar with how the marine corps squad structure breakdown is but I assume it’s in a similar fashion. Just shearing some information for those that have not served in the military at the basic infantryman level. Coming from Basic Bitch active duty infantryman in the US Army. Some cool books to look at are STP-21-1-SMCT warrior skills level 1, FM 3-21.3 (FM 7-8) The Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad, and the TC 3-21.75 Ranger Handbook. Especially the (10-1 through 10-14 Machine Gun Employment)of the Ranger Handbook. Are a good source of information that brakes down the roles, duties and responsibilities of each individual in a standard basic Army infantry Rifleman Platoon/Squad. Reading these books will expand your knowledge and can increase your effectiveness and lethality as a mil-sim gamer. And would most definitely increase the level of immersion while playing mile-sim games.
I love that someone who genuinely understands the milsim gaming community is getting into game development so that current devs have some real competition. I feel like there is not a great milsim game out right now, Arma is good but old and it shows, Squad did their ICO that split the community and before that was very arcade like, Hell Let Loose is focused on balance instead of realism, and most other games fall along the same line with being good but always falling short in just enough categories to not be great. While I personally dislike how Karmakut runs his game servers being that a casual gamer like myself doesnt want to spend a few days out of every week to perfect real world tactics in a video game or play the same match for 4 hours, I understand that there is a demand for it and if it gets good ideas flowing for other developers to take notes then I love it.
I always thought of needing a second person/ regular barrel changes as a viable way to balance LMGs in games rather than making them basically bigger ARs
In most realistic games MG's are worse than rifles. Most games have really bad suppression where you can just one-tap the person who is suppressing you. This was a problem in Squad for years, and the ICO finally fixed it.
Wow. I followed Karmakut from when he 1st started Squad streaming. Dude has come a long way. Shit, if he can do it why cant I? Alright. Im starting my TH-cam page....TODAY! I'lll call it: Attention to orders! Lol
Alot of the stuff you said would be new like the gunner assistant gunner are not "new" per say. In karmas community we already use mods that make m240s work how you explained but less visually with ace interactions. But i do agree they have chance to take what is in arma 3s mods as a concept and make it alot more immersive and visual etc. So yeah. Exciting times ahead with this one.
Its interesting but I have to say the idea of 2 man machine gun squads doesnt sound very fun for the second person playing "spotter". I appreciate the route theyre trying to take but I think in games there needs to be some compromises in order to keep the experience fun for everyone. Nontheless will be interesting to see some gameplay to see how well it all plays together.
Majority of comments are doubters, especially so that every game we've gotten similar recently has been a complete flop and letdown. Love how skewed it is when the entirety of the comments section is talking about how you shouldnt be forming an opinion or advertising this as the next best thing out of a trailer cause of how many times we've been tricked. This seems more like a marketing ploy from MoiDawg than anything cause the only comments he liked/hearted are the positive ones and he's kind of known for sucking up to any group that gives him access or benefits.
Honestly, i always had a hype for any new tactical military game, but the lack of that genre that can be played singleplayer as well is a bit concerning, im worry its going to be flop like six days fallujah or ground branch (i mean theres a tactical game that can be player offline like zero hour and black one blood brother that flop as well, but is because the AI not polished as well) just hope maybe on the future the game can implement a proper offline session
What about the M7, M250, the new scopes that go with them, Switchblade drones? Tho it is interesting they are adding in the US Military HUD goggles but US doesn't have that.
I mean judging by what karma likes to play and the type of content he does, and the real world tactics he likes to employ….i can’t see this game failing….they have the talent, they have the tactical know-how, and they are GAMERS before all of that…..I have full confidence in his vision. And I’m West African…I’m definitely here for it
I will say my main concern is that they go a bit too far into the milsim and alienate the more casual player. I hope to be proven wrong though! Can never have too many shooters 🔫
Nope it’s called a MilSim for a reason go play call of duty or sandstorm then. But there are actual people who want to play milsims as realistic as possible. Casuals don’t need to be catered to every time a game is created. I know it’s a bit harsh but that is how I feel as a MilSim enthusiast myself. But I will go as far implementing a system to teach new players some of the core mechanics or atleast some time of guide like teaching people how to be a medic or play a certain role effectively

i kinda question of why.
do this all promoted by the world government to familiarize us all to oncoming conflict ?

The 249 although it could be flexed in this role, 99.99% of the time the 249 would be with the fire teams in the squad level. Because the weapon is intended to be operated by a singular individual. (Shoutout to my boiis staying on line with that beast)
Not too familiar with how the marine corps squad structure breakdown is but I assume it’s in a similar fashion.
Just shearing some information for those that have not served in the military at the basic infantryman level.
Coming from Basic Bitch active duty infantryman in the US Army.
Some cool books to look at are STP-21-1-SMCT warrior skills level 1, FM 3-21.3 (FM 7-8) The Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad, and the TC 3-21.75 Ranger Handbook. Especially the (10-1 through 10-14 Machine Gun Employment)of the Ranger Handbook. Are a good source of information that brakes down the roles, duties and responsibilities of each individual in a standard basic Army infantry Rifleman Platoon/Squad.
Reading these books will expand your knowledge and can increase your effectiveness and lethality as a mil-sim gamer. And would most definitely increase the level of immersion while playing mile-sim games.
>no gameplay
not impressed
Been looking for a game for my father to play, a former combat medic, I think he's going to like this one!
arma has it NOW all. so hopefully this game doesn't fail, a better ace medical would be great for players on the emissive side
I wasn't very interested until I saw it was Karma's, can't wait to see more and try it out
This looks great can’t wait to get my hands on this
I love that someone who genuinely understands the milsim gaming community is getting into game development so that current devs have some real competition. I feel like there is not a great milsim game out right now, Arma is good but old and it shows, Squad did their ICO that split the community and before that was very arcade like, Hell Let Loose is focused on balance instead of realism, and most other games fall along the same line with being good but always falling short in just enough categories to not be great.
While I personally dislike how Karmakut runs his game servers being that a casual gamer like myself doesnt want to spend a few days out of every week to perfect real world tactics in a video game or play the same match for 4 hours, I understand that there is a demand for it and if it gets good ideas flowing for other developers to take notes then I love it.
Everyone should expect however this game will play like his community does. Its a serious milsim
im an electronic warfare specialist and i'd love to see what they come up with
I always thought of needing a second person/ regular barrel changes as a viable way to balance LMGs in games rather than making them basically bigger ARs
In most realistic games MG's are worse than rifles. Most games have really bad suppression where you can just one-tap the person who is suppressing you. This was a problem in Squad for years, and the ICO finally fixed it.
New most anticipated game!
I hope this game will be released for PS5... Very interesting game!!!
Wow. I followed Karmakut from when he 1st started Squad streaming. Dude has come a long way. Shit, if he can do it why cant I? Alright. Im starting my TH-cam page....TODAY!
I'lll call it: Attention to orders! Lol
How much larping will be involved in this game?
If it's Karma, all of it
Alot of the stuff you said would be new like the gunner assistant gunner are not "new" per say. In karmas community we already use mods that make m240s work how you explained but less visually with ace interactions. But i do agree they have chance to take what is in arma 3s mods as a concept and make it alot more immersive and visual etc. So yeah. Exciting times ahead with this one.
Really nice to see a change of Location in any military game honestly, Africa rarely is used at all.
Its interesting but I have to say the idea of 2 man machine gun squads doesnt sound very fun for the second person playing "spotter". I appreciate the route theyre trying to take but I think in games there needs to be some compromises in order to keep the experience fun for everyone. Nontheless will be interesting to see some gameplay to see how well it all plays together.
@@rileyxbell was thinking same. And takes boots off the ground
RANGER BATT IS SICK AF
As long as this game listens to the community it will dominate. Listening to the community, constant updates = biggest game to exist.
The last games that I remember that took place in Africa were Halo 2, Halo ODST, Far Cry 2, and Resident Evil 5.
Temper your expectations. The last 2 games made by disenfranchised former Squad players turned out to be either garbage or a literal scam.

MoiDawg, that map is essentially what's known as ATAK
This game's going to have to pull off a lot if it wants to be up there with Squad
i don't understand why small teams keep thinking they can pull off projects like these that bigger devs still struggle with.
Holy crap this looks awesome!
Seems interesting. What i would like to see is a game like this that is a persistent campaign like foxhole.
this might be a big concurrency for squad, loook dope
Definitely see the ground branch in the game hope it goes well
7:10 is where ii am extremely exited, keep us updated
Apart from the crew-served stuff it doesn't seem very groundbreaking. It looks good ofc but we've seen this before.
Yeah I’m sure there’s going to be a line of players waiting to be the machine gunners hand bag. Good on paper but I think in practice it won’t be.
Majority of comments are doubters, especially so that every game we've gotten similar recently has been a complete flop and letdown.
Love how skewed it is when the entirety of the comments section is talking about how you shouldnt be forming an opinion or advertising this as the next best thing out of a trailer cause of how many times we've been tricked. This seems more like a marketing ploy from MoiDawg than anything cause the only comments he liked/hearted are the positive ones and he's kind of known for sucking up to any group that gives him access or benefits.
Will definitely play this👍
Finally Arma/and insurgency had a baby 🎉
Nice title for the game btw.
Will this come onto console?
Honestly, i always had a hype for any new tactical military game, but the lack of that genre that can be played singleplayer as well is a bit concerning, im worry its going to be flop like six days fallujah or ground branch (i mean theres a tactical game that can be player offline like zero hour and black one blood brother that flop as well, but is because the AI not polished as well) just hope maybe on the future the game can implement a proper offline session
i will buy this. take your time developeres. we know you will nale it.
What about the M7, M250, the new scopes that go with them, Switchblade drones? Tho it is interesting they are adding in the US Military HUD goggles but US doesn't have that.
Until it proves to be more than the Ground Branch/Greyzone Warfare/general stream of shallow milsim slop, I'll hold my expectations
As long as Karma dosent pull the bluedrake and hyperfixate on a not so good game and expect everyone to work on it for free.
@@travismac1996 and then be dissapointed
I mean judging by what karma likes to play and the type of content he does, and the real world tactics he likes to employ….i can’t see this game failing….they have the talent, they have the tactical know-how, and they are GAMERS before all of that…..I have full confidence in his vision. And I’m West African…I’m definitely here for it
oh dont worry the game will fail, spectacularly
Remember what happened the last time a youtuber made a tactical shooter
I will say my main concern is that they go a bit too far into the milsim and alienate the more casual player. I hope to be proven wrong though! Can never have too many shooters 🔫
Nope it’s called a MilSim for a reason go play call of duty or sandstorm then. But there are actual people who want to play milsims as realistic as possible. Casuals don’t need to be catered to every time a game is created. I know it’s a bit harsh but that is how I feel as a MilSim enthusiast myself. But I will go as far implementing a system to teach new players some of the core mechanics or atleast some time of guide like teaching people how to be a medic or play a certain role effectively
there are SO MANY casual shooters. why does every game need to appeal to casual players?
This reminds me of ARMA3 with most of the mods, but more eye candy.
