Wow! I never knew about this game. Awesome video. I played Close Combat and CC: A Bridge to Far back in the dark ages and haven't thought about playing it until this video. This game is what Close Combat should have evolved into.
Dunno if this is effective in the game but in the army we make sure we have reciprocal coverage between the trenches and also add depth, having trenches not just next to each other but also some behind (covering the gap between the front two trenches)
after watching this and playing the first russian mission myself on the open beta, my first thought was how it was great they actually gave you adequate time to setup defenses in the missions lol Before, you had 20 seconds before they were coming from all angles... just feels like the game i always wanted MoW to be! Super stoked for release.
I wish we could actually build the mortar holes, flak gun foxhole, and a foxhole to park your tank or self propelled gun in. Some dugouts for artillery would be nice too. The sandbag stuff is ok, but you should be able to do dig outs for the bigger stuff. Maybe as an engineer truck upgrade.
This game is so underrated. I've been an RTS player since Warcraft 1. (Yes I'm old). And I've suffered the lack of good RTS games since Starcraft 2, when the shift to MOBA and all that crap began. I also played a hex and turn based light-weight strategy game called Steel Panthers World At War way back in the day and Gates of Hell: Ostfront (maybe there'll be western front too) gives me the RTS goodies - I like to see and hear things shooting and blowing up as my strategy is playing out -, it gives me the WW2 nerdy Steel Panthers feels with the tank armor, angling, different caliber, detailed differences in firearms, artillery, smoke and all that. So it's just perfect. I'm completely addicted to just playing some local skirmishes against Heroic AI, which on some maps can really offer a nice challenge. If that's not enough, play against two Heroic level AIs alone :D also, it can be a nice, bite-sized session of gaming where you don't need to dive in for hours upon hours at a time. Which you CAN do as well with the conquest mode. Anyway, a great game, best ww2 RTS imo, CoH has nothing against it and I've played the heck out of every CoH title out there and enjoyed them as well.
I've played this series since i was a kid, that includes Faces of War & Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 All essentially the same game. The studio is obsessed with defence (generally soviet) against unfavorable odds
Good work! Were you to perform self-assessment or Combat AAR, how would you grade the following: 1. Map assessment 2. Asset inventory 3. Objective(s) required 4. Victory condition required
Man, the same thing happens to me too .. I really wanted to play the German campaign .. WTF? maybe because they are youtubers they gave them better BETAS .. u-u
This game looks good, but the AI reminds me of the stunt men in a Steven Seagal movie, lining up and obliging to attack the one hero, one at the time. "Gates of shooting gallery" seems a more fitting title unfortunately. "Gates of AI piecemeal frontal attack, with no artillery preparation, showing side armour repeatedly" maybe.
It's another Men of War game in everything but name. It's an expansion for Call to Arms. The devs had beef with the original owners of the Men of War franchise, so the name and publisher is different.
Soo cool. Been waiting so long for a new MoW like game
Its a DLC.
Love seeing my favorite youtubers commenting on eachothers vids!
Oh hey resonant!
It is MOW I thought is call to arms lmao
@@marcer54000 probably still more content that the original men of war
the best WWII RTS out there, cant understand why not a MOW III is already with us
Your strategies just make like way more sense to me compared to other YTs

Dude I love your gates of hell series. Please keep them coming!
I'm looking forwards to the mods once this game drops.
raptor youre the reason i liked mowas2 years back
Same the only reason I bought a pc was raptor lmao

It's very effective in specific situations in the game.
Good to hear. It is actually effective in the game too depending on the terrain and enemy units.
36:18 I like how your able to recapture a Soviet tank after being capture from the Germans.
Glory to raptoria
We fight we win
glory to raptoria
Fight in the name of raptoria
Hurrah
For motherland
The Kingdom of raptoria
Hurrah

One of my friends is absolutely happy about this too) He loves to build up his defences, mines, all this stuff
The sounds in this game are so good
That's one hell of a long video title. That took courage.
Bravo, sir.
Finally they changed the voice for the mission intro.
Really impressed with what I have seen in these videos. Can't wait for this game.

This looks amazing can wait! Keep giving it love dev's and dont take her out of the oven until she's done!! You guys are doing awesome!

All essentially the same game.

Man I'm glad they are letting you play this beforehand. Really enjoying Call to arms. Can't wait for the DLC!
Absolutely amazing game!
24:50 Greeks thought like this too, so the colonized the area, and stayed there until the mongols came.
“Hold on, make sure they’re down” I see you raptor!
For a second, I thought it was a strategy game in which World War 2 units fight actual demons... Oh well.
Both the Red Army and the Wermacht were demons. Read the book "Bloodlands"
A game where you fight off hellboy-eswue critters with friggin WW2 squads sounds amazing.
More cool than company of heroes
GLORY TO RAPTORIA!
I guess reading the description has its perks. 😂
I thought the soviets intro was a Macy's commercial at first lmao
pretty sure its the other way around
Long time love you man. Keep it up.
You can play as 1st personal like call of duty. I love this game
I've always loved RTS games , way back to STRONGHOLD CRUSADERS lol
That was the first computer game I ever owned , dead ass has a special place in my Heart, it will never be outdated.
Way back to Warcraft 2.
@@lucasgordon7232 they just made a new stronghold crusader its called warlords
Finally a MOW like game
tank wreck at 20:25 is a t26 chassis
Awesome. Love the map.
Favorite game on your playlist
I like this vid make more of this game please
Amazing game. Definitely getting it
WW1 commanders when they take 100 yards and only lose 10 thousand men and 5 tanks: I SEE THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE WIN!!!
Glory to raptoria
Raptoria Hoorah!
Bridge to War (or whatever that game was) on steroids 🙏🏼👌🏼
So you know when this game will be coming out, never played a RTS but this one looks AMAZING
go to the store page on steam, I clicked on the request access and they immediately gave me beta access, downloading it now, about 8gb
@@Rabbit_585 You need to get CTA tho, it was 3.74 USD a few days ago idk about now
It would be cool to 2v2 people , 1 guy sets up defenses & resupply .... other guy carry outs the attack & offensive procedures ??
Aw, I was really hoping they'd have the trench system from MoW Arena, it was really good.
Great content OG rap !!
Good work! Were you to perform self-assessment or Combat AAR, how would you grade the following:
1. Map assessment
2. Asset inventory
3. Objective(s) required
4. Victory condition required
Nice 👏👏👏👏
Cant wait for Robz mod of this!
"Hold on. Make sure their down."
Raptor you Had 1 more AT rifle in the truck which you could use on the left side
Is this game actually coming out?? I've had it on my wishlist for years!
I would like Caucasus missions👍
So I have the best and I finished the mission sub zero but there weren't any missions after that so does raptor have a different version of the beta?
I really like your Gameplay
I WANNA BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW ! ! ! ! !
Did you get like a extended version of the beta? i only got 2 training missions and 1 main mission that was 2 parts
Man, the same thing happens to me too .. I really wanted to play the German campaign .. WTF? maybe because they are youtubers they gave them better BETAS .. u-u
Well as you saw the mission is bugged i prefer to have a polished and working mission instead of this
I'm sorry for the stupid question but this is Call to Arm: Gates of Hell?
when will this game be released?? i can't wait if i see these movies all arround on youtube
east bound and down, loaded up and truckin
Love the video man
Awesome game.
When does this game release
What's the key to manually control a unit without getting into 1st person mode like in older MOW???
For me it was either Q or E (I forget which one but I think E)
Hi
Hey Raptor - how similiar would you say this game is to Sudden Strike? Also are there fog of war?
there is a second mission on the BETA?
I will play it too
Mmmm yes tank go boom 🥰
Is there a global command for cover when the airplanes come in ?
Well, ou could select all units and tell them to lie down on the ground.
Round trench is probably for the heavy guns
a better version of theatre of war, WAY better!
Ok👍👍👍👍
I was waiting for the counter blitz
It looks good, but how is it better than MoW 2? Is it just graphically better?
What game is this called?
How do you get the mods?
no mod is close beta
QUICK LOAD THE INVISABLE SHELLS SERGEI!!!
Im so confused is this by the same devs that made men of war because the UI is almost exactly the same
"Alien planets" sums up all eastern europe
cool
Guys when I try opening gates of hell, the game doesn't open, it shows a crash mensagem instead, anyone know how to fix this issue?
i have the beta too.. but i dont have this mission... and the german campaing? only i have 2 mission tutorials and 1 mision of the russian? WTF?
"Almost as effective as a MG 42." It's supposed to be a Maxim 1910/30 water-cooled machinegun of essentially WWI vintage. 😄
He was referring to the high rate of fire being comparable to a mg42
What's the difrence about this & man of war?
This game looks good, but the AI reminds me of the stunt men in a Steven Seagal movie, lining up and obliging to attack the one hero, one at the time. "Gates of shooting gallery" seems a more fitting title unfortunately. "Gates of AI piecemeal frontal attack, with no artillery preparation, showing side armour repeatedly" maybe.
Not bad :) think the narrator voice at the beginning should be with a German/Russian accent.
Is this game like Sudden Strike mixed with men of war? Can't work it out.
It's another Men of War game in everything but name. It's an expansion for Call to Arms. The devs had beef with the original owners of the Men of War franchise, so the name and publisher is different.
@@CsStrez Thanks mate.
Oh well waiting is a soldiers game wait wait wait
This saga needs a total war or hearts of iron style campaign map, what do you think?
Will german perspective be playable too?
Yes
Yes, on the channel there are some missions with the Germans you can watch too.
awwwww yeah
Reminds me of blitzkrieg
This game is men of war
It's come a long way and looks great. Shame it's only the Soviets and Germans.
what is this mod name?
Basically mowas2.5. not bad
Does this game cover all of ww2 or just Germany failure against the soviet union?
Clip Button now?
In the futuro Will add japan nación?
Is there anything like this but in modern times?
Yeah Call to Arms was the predecessor to this made by the same devs it’s on steam and I think it’s about $20
Why do I only have three battles to play
