  • Cheers to Barbedwire Studios for giving me a key to Gates of Hell: Ostfront.
    Had a wild time with this. Never touched Call to Arms for more than a few minutes before, but this really hit the spot. I'm so happy we've had multiple great RTS releases recently, and I can't wait to show off the rest of the campaign, or the multiplayer and co-op modes.

      At the beginning of Barbarossa Axis had deployed 4 million soldiers against 3 million soldiers that USSR had deployed at their borders .
      During Moscow offensive operation soviets had 1,2 million soldiers against 1,7 millions of Axis soldiers.
      During the beginning of Stalingrad battle Axis had deployed 480K soldiers against 380K soldiers of USSR.
      And yeah, if you include all of Reich puppets, Italy and Reich itself there was like 290 million of population I suppose? Against 190 million of USSR population.
      USSR managed to get more soldiers than Axis at 1943. Before it USSR was practically outnumbered.

      @@barsni4779 But that's a fact that out of the other powers, they did the most warcrimes.
      The USSR was founded upon murder and crime.
      Stalin killed his own officers.
      Not to mention the gulags which were the most inhumane prisons. The soviets had no regard for human life.
      Also, have you heard about the no retreat order? The soviets implemented it at it's most extreme. The comissars or officers had the right to kill the conscripts that were running from the battlefield.
      Have you heard also about the tactic that they used of mass assault? They literally sent conscripts to kill tanks, mgs, and other targets, killing a lot of conscripts in the process.
      So it's not that the west is biased towards the USSR. It's a fact that those things happened, it's not an opinion.
      The USSR was a criminal nation.
      If not for the foreigners that were killed by it, then at least for its own people, it's still a criminal nation.
      Stop defending the lie. Murder is a crime. Murdering your own people is also a crime. Murdering your own people on a large scale, it's a crime against humanity.
      Just like the Germans killed the jews. Or you agree that murdering the jews inside of Germany was ok? Did they needed to kill the jews only that were outside it's borders?
      It's crime only when it's about the outside and not the inside?
      Or crime is a universal concept that applies on all circumstances independent of whether it's about your enemy or your own people?

    Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 or SHoWW2 is actually the grand-daddy of the whole Men of War series.
    It was developed by Best Way, a Ukranian developer. They also developed Men of War together with Digitalmindsoft, but handed the reins over to Digitalmindsoft who went on to do MoW: Assault Squad 1&2, Call to Arms and a bunch of other spinoffs.

    • @seppiya7470
      @seppiya7470 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      The naming of the series is a lot more coherent in Russian. SHoWW2 was just "Behind Enemy Lines", Faces of War was "Behind Enemy Lines 2", and Men of War was "Behind Enemy Lines 2: Desert Fox".
      Best Way (and 1C Company, their publisher) are going back making Men of War games with the new Men of War II: Arena. I think that's why Gates of Hell had to be released as a DLC for Call to Arms; the original developers stopped giving out licenses for the GEM engine (or pushed for unreasonable contracts). Because Call to Arms is self-published by Digitalmindsoft, and uses their own derivative of the engine, it was the only way they could release the game.

    -the battles of Wuhan, and Changde were great defensive battles
    -the battle of Shanghai was called the Stalingrad of the east for its urban fighting

      This is the eastern European approach to innovation: if it ain't broke don't fix it; there are much more ways to break it than to make it better. Most classical Russian/Ukrainian game series of the 90's and 00's were made following this approach. This is probably part of the reason why the gaming industry here is now moribund. It's also the approach they used in the Soviet and later Russian space programme. The underlying reason is of course lack of money: unlike in the West with its giant studios and crowdfunding, there isn't enough money going around to pay people for making every game from scratch and then seeing if it ends up better than the competition. But as a result, no abandonware and no crowdfunding scams.

    • @Unbrutal_Rawr
      @Unbrutal_Rawr ปีที่แล้ว +5

      But also, if you take a look at Heroes of WW2 and compare it to COH 1, and then compare either with any modern RTS, you'll have to admit that these two games were so mindblowingly good at the time that no one's managed to meaningfully improve upon them until this day. In fact, in some ways the follow-ups can be seen as downgrades (looking at you, colourful and cartooney MoW and COH 3).

    Most WW2 games are marketed towards western audiences, America in particular. So they usually end up portraying the war post American entrance.
    This has always disappointed me because of the wealth of potentially great games that could be made otherwise. From the initial invasion of Poland and the subsequent actions of the Home Army or exiled soldiers, to the Battle of France (which wasn't as one-sided as many think). The Campaigns in, Philippines, Malaya, New Guinea, Burma. And the entire insane bloodbath that was the China campaigns. Not to even mention the efforts put up by the resistance movements that were present in the occupied nations.
    The unfortunate truth of the matter is that the western front will always make the most money, because it's what the people buying the games are most familiar with.

    Rimmy, just to help out with your comments at the beginning of the video. Its easy to think of CtA as a modern version of MOWAS2, but I see it more as an updated version to the MOW game mechanic itself. The WWII themed MOWAS2 series was developed by Digitalmindsoft and published by Fulqrum. MOWAS2- Cold War uses the same game mechanic as all the other MOWAS2 DLCs but with a 1960's twist.
    Call to Arms was developed and published by Digitalmindsoft and expands on the MOW game mechanic by adding 3rd person game play, or 1st person when using a weapon with a gun sight/scope. GoH- Ostfront is the WWII version of the modern day Call to Arms game that uses the same expanded game mechanic involving Barbedwire Studios.
    The reason I am pointing this out is because I would be interested in seeing more video content from you showing off the 3rd/1st person feature of Call to Arms. I think this is a major advance in RTS games, and it really makes the Call to Arms series stand out from the rest. You have a new follower.
