The devs really only have themselves to blame, Verdun was loads of fun, full lobbies all the time, then Tannenberg split the player base in two and now Isonzo has split it even further. They could have just built it into Verdun as extra maps and factions but no, they want you to pay full price for each pack of maps in separate games. They added bots to fill the lobbies THEY killed by splitting a single game into three.
I don't think that would have worked very well because Isonzo, I believe, runs on a different engine. This would have made it impossible to make it apart of Verdun with out making a new game. But with Tannenberg I agree.
@@barrybenson5671 Fair enough if true, but then I guess the developers should have really asked if an engine upgrade was worth further fragmenting their pretty niche playerbase.
it really is sad how under appreciated ww1 games are. Seems that any FPS these days has to be littered with automatic weapons or set in late ww2...and littered with automatics.
@@lostwizardcat9910 It's not even that they're underappreciated. These developers purposely split up the games, which basically killed their other games. Verdun back in 2015-2017, generally always had 1000 people on it. And instead of adding new content to Verdun, they decided to make a new game focusing on the Eastern Front. And then they made another game focusing on the Italian front. They purposely killed their games by being greedy, and instead of updating their first game they want to release new games to make money off the initial sales. TLDR: They killed their own games and deserve no pity, they should've just released DLC's and content updates. But sadly they wanted to charge for a full price indie game, which for them is around 30-40 dollars.
@@aztkshorty9138 Exactly, it's why I jave no interest in even picking it up. Verdun was fantastic, Tannenburg was an idiotic decision, and Isonzo was just a continuation of that stupidity.
Isonzo is actually part of a greater collection of games. Other games in the series include verdun and tannenburg. All of which are made by the same small developer team. So maybe you might wanna check those other two out in a future video.
I'm pretty sure that's the reason there kinda failing they expect you to pay full price for multiple of the same games just with different maps and what not it
i actually have Tannenburg as it was free on Epic a while back, what little i played seemed really fun, like a WWI themed Enlisted but it was... shall i say a bit too experienced for my level. a lot of it was either being killed off spawn or the frontlines would change mid battle and kill you if you didn't catch up to it in time.
@@thetrueinferno7993 They did it on purpose, I played Verdun back in the day from 2015-2018ish, it generally averaged 1k+ a day and most servers were full and stayed full. But then they announced Tannenberg as a separate game in 2017 and basically stopped updating Verdun which killed their own game. But I guess at least they got to charge people another time…
@@SomeOrdinaryJanitor that’s the issue with the game(s), the developers killed their game(s) by splitting up their own community so if you aren’t in a lobby filled with bots and your fighting players they’re the people who play daily and play really sweaty. It makes the game a slogfest. I enjoy those types of games from time to time but the casual verdun and tannenberg community is dead, so you play to try hard or you lose horribly.
As one of the die hard fans of this series, you don't really need much communication other than text chat telling people should we go left or right or which objective to prioritize. Alot of the depth amd skill of this game comes from knowing how to play both sides of a map and how to play each of the six classes in attack or defense. So unlike what other comments may suggests, this game has alot of depth but you have to commit to getting good like grinding ranks in other games. And yeah this game caters alot to history nerds talking about niche history.
@@chippym8316 The TTK for Isonzo is much faster and the movement is a lot slower. Mechanically the game may seem simplified to other realsims like HLL or Squad, but weapons wise, it's close to them.
kinda like Enlisted, but i feel Enlisted is doing better in that regard because it's free... but it's also made by Gaijin so do with that information what you will.
I had an extremely weird encounter with this game. The night it released, its randomly in my game library and im able to download and play it. I played a few rounds, still very confused as to why I even have the game. I looked at the Xbox store it says I own it, i definitely didnt pay for it. I decided to uninstall the game and see what happens, as soon as I did, it requires payment and I no longer own it. 😂 I felt like i was tripping
@Ezekiel Reed Did you happen to look at the store before it released? I was checking the game out and was going back and forth but decided to wait for reviews to buy it. I tried to get it to happen again with other games but never had the same luck again lol.
I still cannot believe you don’t have millions of subscribers I found myself binge watching your videos after finding your for the first time and all of your videos are great man. Consistent great quality I hope the subs start flooding in
game is fantastic. no idea why nobody plays it. i agree that it's not deep enough to engage you for hundreds of hours but putting in some isonzo hours here and there is fun as fuck. it doesn't deserve only 80 concurrent players at all.
Because there are many hidden problems that are overlooked, such as the basic gun experience being very poor, playing with only 48 people is really too few, playing as the defending team is too difficult, and it's ridiculous to have 24 people defend a field as large as Ukraine. Also, the game's nature is completely changed by the game rules for capturing points."
I was playing everyday on ps4 but the last update the map was so huge and intricate the ps4 could not run it and would crash after a couple minutes. I think that bug really messed up the player base cause a lot of people play on ps4. The devs have fixed it tho but I still haven’t been on in like 2 months cause I dont want to pay for ps4 online services rnw. But this is still my favorite game even more than Insurgency Sandstorm. It’s definitely a hidden gem and it’s 100% historical accurate unlike bf1
@@prussia4428They mean the devs should have made that their plan and followed it from the beginning. Isonzo came out 8-9 years after Verdun with no process followed between that time to properly connect them. It isn’t a question of what they can do now, so much as what they should have done.
@@prussia4428 they literally didn't have to use a new engine if they made isonzo an update to verdun. people arren't saying bring the current isonzo game into verdun, but they retrospectively should've expanded verdun with these expansions which would obviously be in the same engine.
@@I_Am_Wasabi_Man verdun' s engine was already old when it was first punlished, plus updating a game for 9 years isn' t easy ,the more you update a game the harder it becomes to change it again.
I absolutely love Isonzo. I didn't really care for Verdun when it came out because of how vanilla the game looked in Tannenberg was only slightly better. However I found that Isonzo it's different in my opinion, the gunplay is more refined, the gameplay meta is more refined from tannenberg in the overall map design created to always keep you in the action will never getting bored or lost. Yes the maps are narrow however they are large in-depth as you advance through each set of objectives you start to realize just how massive the maps really are. And given how small of a development team there is these guys managed to pull off some really fine details of their maps and graphics on some areas. I think people just look at this game and just think that this is going to be another basic WW1 Verdun/Tannenberg clone with no changes from the previous titles. Even though the player-base is small I will say that this game does better than Beyond The Wire which tried to capture the same style as Isonzo, but failed miserably to deliver that goal.
The game works like that one BF1 gamemode (think the name was operation), there are two teams, the attackers and defenders, the map is divided into sectors and the attackers have to push through all the sectors to win, but they have a limited number of tickets and, if they run out, they loose and defense wins, at each sector the attacker tickets refresh and defense has unlimited tickets. Also in tis game series people only use chat to tell wich objective to push/defent and shit talk and almost never use VC. Great video btw Edit: to push a sector the attackers must control/destroy all objectives
I actually like this game a lot. However, I do recommend using the EU server, as it is usually quite active during afternoon hours (in Europe). The reason why it is not terribly popular is probably because the WWI game series is a bit of a niche franchise - appealing primarily to history buffs. Hopefully some of the recent bugs will soon be fixed, as they are very annoying.
The whole series is very good. Verdun is still the best one of the three though. Though I'm probably biased as my Great Grandfather served with the 8th Battalion 1st AIF and fought on the Western front. He fought at Gallipoli prior as well. His regimental enlistment number was 10 so he was very quick to enlist. He made it all the way through until he was gassed late in the war and sent home 2 months before armistice.
In Europe i always find full servers (just 2 or 3 to be fair), i absolutely love the game. I'm biased because my ancestors were actually there in reality lol, but it is made with passion and the soundtrack rocks
another underrated game is ravenfield, not entirely multiplayer but modders are making them and it seems to be working now, really underrated and modding community is great. definetly give it a try
THIS GAME IS SO UNDERRATED!!! This game is soo good but sadly not enough people are playing it but thank u for playing Isonzo and brining some attention to it
(I'm a player with 83+ hours on the game.) Yeah, most people don't talk, including me, who have microphones. Every now and then someone will, but it's a game you just enjoy quietly or in Discord with a group of friends. Note: Reached the end of the video. The attackers (the enemy team) ran out of lives and weren't contesting any objectives, so you won the game. Every game is attack and defend. Attackers have a limited amount of lives that replenishes when they complete the objectives of that "assault." When they complete all the "assaults" the attackers win. If they run out of lives, the defenders win.
I think this could be fixed either by the devs placing everything in an affordable bundle (which they sorta do) or making an ultra- game combining all 3 games plus more.
I really like that game. It kinda got overtaken by Hell Let Loose on my list of games to play, but I still think it's amazing. I almost never use mic in this game and almost never hear anyone using it. I don't think it's that kinda game. I tend to play it exactly when I don't feel talkative enough for HLL. People arguing over 100 years old political events and trying to translate them to current day is the classic weekend text chat in Isonzo xD
@@Wulfjager absolutely, even as someone who doesnt even have a mic, hearing people talk i great, in hell let loose often i go medic, and if youre down and scream ¨medic¨ you bet im running full sprint towards your ass, before anybody else, and you better say your thank yous too cuz ill be waiting
I saw this game and loved it when it dropped it hurts me so much to see it in this state. I am so thankful that you have uploaded content on this giving it your spotlight on youtube for even just a day.
haha I remember that you asked if anyone had a mic ! Suddenly hearing a voice... was like wow, a voice :D Indeed a rare thing in this game. I make sure I let myself heard next time 👍 Despite lack of voices it is still a lot of fun to play Isonzo ! I am a she btw.. but you could not know that without my voice ;)
tbh talking about random thing especially history things while playing violent games is too wholesome, i remember talking about quantum copiumn while being killed by SCPs
Just the people wondering why they can't merge all three games it's been told before that they can't do the different versions of unity used for the games
Isonzo was great that first month on release - I think I fell back into Squad, came back months later and servers we're dead besides all the bad ping Europe servers.
There were tons of players back in october, I played for about 200 hours and got all the achievements but then it became boring. Empty servers most of the time and the updates took too long to be delivered. There's no point in adding new maps if nobody is playing anymore
5:18 the reason you won is because the attackers have limited amounts of spawns, so since your team killed enough attackers, they didnt have any reinforcements to keep fighting
Played this game at launch, had a watch party for the Silent Mountain before buying it at midnight. I think I may have been the first person to reach level 100 in the world. I love this game and this studio!! :D
ppl don't talk in isonzo cuz it's primarily a european games and well we all speak different languages. that being said there is usually a up to 3 pretty busy matches happening during EU times. none ot the ww1 game serries games are very populated but they tend to keep a very dedicated yet tiny core playerbase
The fate of the WW1 game series is weird. I loved Verdun deeply. A slightly more hardcore battlefield game set in WW1 before battlefield 1 released (a year prior). Then Tannenberg came out and kind of divided the player base, It went much bigger and on the Eastern front with a lot more going on but somehow feels less intense compared to Verduns trench focus. I liked Verdun better imo which might be the reason why it averages similar to Isonzo. Can't speak much on Isonzo because I haven't played it yet. Their niche and niche games like this either barely survive or die. Squad is niche and so is Hell let loose and its sibling Beyond the Wire. Squad survives well coming from Project Reality which was a natural evolution into a more hardcore Battlefield experience. Hell Let Loose is the WW2 version and Beyond the Wire WW1. having played them all I'd say the only reason Beyond the Wire is suffering is because WW1 is even more niche than modern and WW2. Niche games also requires you trying to be on when most people are on in your region. Even squad can hit low player pop on servers when its not peak time.
I bought tannenberg a month ago and I liked it a lot so I bought Isonzo too, and it's defintely better, more polish, better classes and mechanics, it's sad that only 2 lobbies have real people, it deserves more
This game series is so fucking good. I don’t know why they keep making more games instead of just adding them into the current game. It isn’t underrated it is just divided.
The games are populated around the evening eastern time and around 1 am they die down so you might need to switch to EU servers if you're in the US or AU.
I started playing this game recently. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Only after realizing my server had 2 others in it did I decide to look for you playing it. What did I find? It’s a dead game you’ve already covered. I’ll watch it and see what I think.
My only gripe with verdun and tannenberg is the grind to level up the squads it'd makes sense to either allow the use of career points or to set the combined squad level
I think the last update messed up the player base cause the ps4 couldn’t handle it . I was playing everyday but that last update my ps4 couldn’t run it for weeks.
This game is fucking goated and I'm going to squeeze every single hour out of this game while it still has a couple hundred of players and 3 simultaneously well populated servers
I played one of their games, very similar, loved it! Only a few hundred people online. Came back a year later, only 5 people in any match. Really sad, all their games end up like this.
I played this a lot on release. Back then people were in love with the game, then after about 2 weeks when people started unlocking shit there were WAAAAAY too many grenades, made the game really tedious to play.
I put over 400 hours in to Verdun, but just couldn’t get in to Tannenberg or Isonzo as much. It’s more of the same, and the dwindling player counts killed whatever enthusiasm I might have had left.
so the problem with Isonzo is that each time they released a new Game/Expansion its splits the community because you need each game to play on the relevant maps, which meant that when Tannenberg came out it split the player base in lets say half, so once Isonzo came out it split it in half again, which means that there basically no one playing these multiplayer only games which creates the low player count death spiral, where people stop playing or checking if there's players because no ones playing which means no one plays or checks. Verdun was a very fun game and I think of the three its the only one that still has some players but not many
isonzo is a whole lot better now with better dlc's being released and you can play the dlc maps for free there are a whole less bugs and generally fun to play
Isonzo is great and has different mechanics and such compared to the older games. The lobbies are very full and plentiful during United States daytime hours, typically mid-day and mornings.
What do you mean no one plays it? I've put 50 hrs in this one plus over 100 in their other titles. The WW1 series has always had a loyal base of players even if small, and it's always possible to find 1-2 servers with people in it. It's not for the average run and gunner like CoD and I'm glad for that. Teamwork is essential.
I dont know much about what the devs did. But spliting Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo in to three? No thnaks! Also they could of made more games like The Balkan front ( Standard 1914 till 1916 after that the Solun front), possibly add Galipoly campaign? And should add more maps to Verdun and Tannenberg. My opinion thanks for reading!
people complaining that it should've been a dlc are just outlandish. It is a small team working their asses off for 3 different games. Sure the idea is the same but different maps, guns, factions, languages (voice acting), time periods. It deserves to be its own game and if you hate it so much don't buy it. I have never not enjoyed any of the 3 games as they are all very fun imo
The problem is there is too many of these type of more realistic shooters that already has a niche playerbase. At this point if your not squad, or Hell let loose You cant retain the playerbase. Esceptions can be made for more coop style ones, but games like Insurgency and Ready or not and Ground branch fill that area.
@@Gbrck the point is that the community of this game can only write hll better, even before the premiere. They just think that this game has no flaws and is not even the best WWII FPS
Looks like I finally found the game I was looking for all my life: one shot and you dead. Near explosion and you dead. Fall and your leg breaks. Well seems like nobody wants to play the games I like :D
I just downloaded this game, it's actually a pretty good FPS Multiplayer game and is just as good as Battlefield games. The Multiplayer Gaming isn't too difficult and not too blandly easy. It's just right.
I like how in the game you can progress even when just playing offline against bots. Makes for easy grinding and is good because after every online match for some reason my game crashes. It’s very annoying because when it crashes you have to go into the save data files (easy for me because I play on ps4) and then delete the corrupted data. Luckily when this happens it doesn’t actually delete anything from your progress or the game. For some reason it just downloads corrupt data and it’s pretty annoying. The last few times I played I didn’t experience the corrupted data issue so I think it’s fixed but it still crashes after every online match. Just a heads up for anybody wanting to buy. Still very good and I’ve played since the first day after launch so I do recommend!
That whole series is basically a game by and for historians, no translation or explanation of equipment names, just "here's the Italian designation, go look it up".
When the developers install AI or Bots to fill their game, like enlisted. It’s like playing Stalker. They are insanely accurate, to the point that the only time you can win a gun fight is when you find another player
The devs really only have themselves to blame, Verdun was loads of fun, full lobbies all the time, then Tannenberg split the player base in two and now Isonzo has split it even further. They could have just built it into Verdun as extra maps and factions but no, they want you to pay full price for each pack of maps in separate games. They added bots to fill the lobbies THEY killed by splitting a single game into three.
They also killed fun by MAKING EVERYTHING TASK RELATED. Like you want a grenade?! COMPLETE TASK TO GET!

I just wish more people saw these incredible games
I think this could be fixed either by the devs placing everything in an affordable bundle (which they sorta do) or making an ultra- game combining all 3 games plus more.
I love this game so much it is basically one of the only games I regularly play.
In this game series, Tannenberg is my favorit, but they dont have many differences, so play whatever you want. I really like games of that kind.
They really need to package all their games together, put it into one massive game and sell it as one big war
I really like that game. It kinda got overtaken by Hell Let Loose on my list of games to play, but I still think it's amazing. I almost never use mic in this game and almost never hear anyone using it. I don't think it's that kinda game. I tend to play it exactly when I don't feel talkative enough for HLL.
People arguing over 100 years old political events and trying to translate them to current day is the classic weekend text chat in Isonzo xD
I was eyeballing both and ultimately decided on hell let loose. I think I made the right choice. Proximity chat is an extremely underrated feature
@@Wulfjager absolutely, even as someone who doesnt even have a mic, hearing people talk i great, in hell let loose often i go medic, and if youre down and scream ¨medic¨ you bet im running full sprint towards your ass, before anybody else, and you better say your thank yous too cuz ill be waiting
isonzo is fucking fantastic and so satisfying. not underrated in my opinion, but underplayed definitely
I saw this game and loved it when it dropped it hurts me so much to see it in this state. I am so thankful that you have uploaded content on this giving it your spotlight on youtube for even just a day.
haha I remember that you asked if anyone had a mic ! Suddenly hearing a voice... was like wow, a voice :D Indeed a rare thing in this game. I make sure I let myself heard next time 👍 Despite lack of voices it is still a lot of fun to play Isonzo ! I am a she btw.. but you could not know that without my voice ;)
All I can see is the Chinese guy in his squad called 喜歡打老外, or 'I like shooting foreigners'. Lovely stuff.
I play a lot of bot-only games, and so the WW1 Games Series really fills that void. Mmm the Werndl.
tbh talking about random thing especially history things while playing violent games is too wholesome, i remember talking about quantum copiumn while being killed by SCPs
playing as officer can be fun dropping bombing runs or gassing tf outta the bots
-I'm going to do the biggest flank ever.
*Clips through terrain*
Me: Man you didn't have to take that so literally
I love Verdun and I never knew these were separate games. Thought it was a dlc 😂
Just the people wondering why they can't merge all three games it's been told before that they can't do the different versions of unity used for the games
Idk why but I just started watching your shit and I gotta be honest it’s hilarious
Isonzo was great that first month on release - I think I fell back into Squad, came back months later and servers we're dead besides all the bad ping Europe servers.
The ww1 game series is deserves a playerbase of the thousands, nolike now how it averages like 60 or so.
There were tons of players back in october, I played for about 200 hours and got all the achievements but then it became boring. Empty servers most of the time and the updates took too long to be delivered. There's no point in adding new maps if nobody is playing anymore
There is a decent playerbase now, since they had a free weekend and added a new map. You should give it another try if you liked it
5:18 the reason you won is because the attackers have limited amounts of spawns, so since your team killed enough attackers, they didnt have any reinforcements to keep fighting
Played this game at launch, had a watch party for the Silent Mountain before buying it at midnight. I think I may have been the first person to reach level 100 in the world. I love this game and this studio!! :D
ppl don't talk in isonzo cuz it's primarily a european games and well we all speak different languages. that being said there is usually a up to 3 pretty busy matches happening during EU times. none ot the ww1 game serries games are very populated but they tend to keep a very dedicated yet tiny core playerbase
The fate of the WW1 game series is weird. I loved Verdun deeply. A slightly more hardcore battlefield game set in WW1 before battlefield 1 released (a year prior). Then Tannenberg came out and kind of divided the player base, It went much bigger and on the Eastern front with a lot more going on but somehow feels less intense compared to Verduns trench focus. I liked Verdun better imo which might be the reason why it averages similar to Isonzo. Can't speak much on Isonzo because I haven't played it yet.
Their niche and niche games like this either barely survive or die. Squad is niche and so is Hell let loose and its sibling Beyond the Wire. Squad survives well coming from Project Reality which was a natural evolution into a more hardcore Battlefield experience. Hell Let Loose is the WW2 version and Beyond the Wire WW1. having played them all I'd say the only reason Beyond the Wire is suffering is because WW1 is even more niche than modern and WW2.
Niche games also requires you trying to be on when most people are on in your region. Even squad can hit low player pop on servers when its not peak time.
I bought tannenberg a month ago and I liked it a lot so I bought Isonzo too, and it's defintely better, more polish, better classes and mechanics, it's sad that only 2 lobbies have real people, it deserves more
This game series is so fucking good. I don’t know why they keep making more games instead of just adding them into the current game. It isn’t underrated it is just divided.
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD I WISH IT GOT MORE ATTENTION
if some guys that love the serie have a discord or smthg to play, we can make big lobbies
Ps4?
@@gabrielsantosbastos5257PC 😔
The games are populated around the evening eastern time and around 1 am they die down so you might need to switch to EU servers if you're in the US or AU.
Played Verdun from beta, absolutely love the game, I still come back to it every now and then, love how it has ANZAC squads
I started playing this game recently. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Only after realizing my server had 2 others in it did I decide to look for you playing it. What did I find? It’s a dead game you’ve already covered. I’ll watch it and see what I think.
rye's inspirational speech is: "when in doubt pull the wallet out"
"Get shit on!"
My only gripe with verdun and tannenberg is the grind to level up the squads it'd makes sense to either allow the use of career points or to set the combined squad level
yeah this franchise is awesome but has SO FEW PLAYERS which just makes it a horde simulator
you could try a different region. EU Servers could be slightly better
I think the last update messed up the player base cause the ps4 couldn’t handle it . I was playing everyday but that last update my ps4 couldn’t run it for weeks.
please revive this game. first played it when it came out and it was so fun to play with friends
The games actually pretty active now. Every day there's usually at least 2-3 full servers
The scenery in this game is astonishing, it’s almost distracting in gun-battles at how nice the views are lol
This game is fucking goated and I'm going to squeeze every single hour out of this game while it still has a couple hundred of players and 3 simultaneously well populated servers
I played one of their games, very similar, loved it! Only a few hundred people online. Came back a year later, only 5 people in any match. Really sad, all their games end up like this.
The first game was a win, as you depleted the attackers tickets and succesfully defended the last sector
Easy example of devs have no clue how to market
I already know its gonna be fire
I played this a lot on release. Back then people were in love with the game, then after about 2 weeks when people started unlocking shit there were WAAAAAY too many grenades, made the game really tedious to play.
I put over 400 hours in to Verdun, but just couldn’t get in to Tannenberg or Isonzo as much. It’s more of the same, and the dwindling player counts killed whatever enthusiasm I might have had left.
Isonzo just hit a new peak player count, exceeding Verdun's. Idk about you, but I fully intend to revisit it!
so the problem with Isonzo is that each time they released a new Game/Expansion its splits the community because you need each game to play on the relevant maps, which meant that when Tannenberg came out it split the player base in lets say half, so once Isonzo came out it split it in half again, which means that there basically no one playing these multiplayer only games which creates the low player count death spiral, where people stop playing or checking if there's players because no ones playing which means no one plays or checks.
Verdun was a very fun game and I think of the three its the only one that still has some players but not many
homie responds with "the good ol' isles" instead of an insult when you said UK, and said he didn't want anything in return, what a real one.
The game is awesome. I really have a blast playing. Period.
isonzo is a whole lot better now with better dlc's being released and you can play the dlc maps for free there are a whole less bugs and generally fun to play
"It is a shame that Decemberists failed in 1820s Russia" Me: So did they just have 11 months that year?
Isonzo is great and has different mechanics and such compared to the older games. The lobbies are very full and plentiful during United States daytime hours, typically mid-day and mornings.
What do you mean no one plays it? I've put 50 hrs in this one plus over 100 in their other titles. The WW1 series has always had a loyal base of players even if small, and it's always possible to find 1-2 servers with people in it. It's not for the average run and gunner like CoD and I'm glad for that. Teamwork is essential.
I wanna hear more about the Decembrists. Anthony Sutton is your boy.
"Game Nobody plays"? That's simply not true. I play Isonzo all the time, and there are always populated servers lol
I dont know much about what the devs did. But spliting Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo in to three? No thnaks! Also they could of made more games like The Balkan front ( Standard 1914 till 1916 after that the Solun front), possibly add Galipoly campaign? And should add more maps to Verdun and Tannenberg. My opinion thanks for reading!
people complaining that it should've been a dlc are just outlandish. It is a small team working their asses off for 3 different games. Sure the idea is the same but different maps, guns, factions, languages (voice acting), time periods. It deserves to be its own game and if you hate it so much don't buy it. I have never not enjoyed any of the 3 games as they are all very fun imo
The problem is there is too many of these type of more realistic shooters that already has a niche playerbase. At this point if your not squad, or Hell let loose You cant retain the playerbase. Esceptions can be made for more coop style ones, but games like Insurgency and Ready or not and Ground branch fill that area.
"am i that overweight?" litterly killed me
You will find a million scoopofpoops in military games
When there s Hell Let Loose, it's not a good time for this
WW1 vs WW2...
Next fanboy
@@habuger12 its fact. more realistic, better graphics. u re just salty
@@Gbrck the point is that the community of this game can only write hll better, even before the premiere. They just think that this game has no flaws and is not even the best WWII FPS
@@habuger12accept it or not, it's for now. I'm not a fanboy but u re a total hater
Looks like I finally found the game I was looking for all my life: one shot and you dead. Near explosion and you dead. Fall and your leg breaks. Well seems like nobody wants to play the games I like :D
When i play Isonzo i am the best representation of an Italian officer
Imcompetant
I just downloaded this game, it's actually a pretty good FPS Multiplayer game and is just as good as Battlefield games. The Multiplayer Gaming isn't too difficult and not too blandly easy. It's just right.
Oceania server has some consistent regulars and new players being jumping on since the sales
you almost gave me a heartattack with those blue screens
I like how in the game you can progress even when just playing offline against bots. Makes for easy grinding and is good because after every online match for some reason my game crashes. It’s very annoying because when it crashes you have to go into the save data files (easy for me because I play on ps4) and then delete the corrupted data. Luckily when this happens it doesn’t actually delete anything from your progress or the game. For some reason it just downloads corrupt data and it’s pretty annoying. The last few times I played I didn’t experience the corrupted data issue so I think it’s fixed but it still crashes after every online match. Just a heads up for anybody wanting to buy. Still very good and I’ve played since the first day after launch so I do recommend!
Isonzo had a free weekend on Epic Games too.
4:49 this is the greatest flank ive ever seen
that sure was the biggest flank I have ever seen honestly
Verdun is great when you don’t get in with the sweaty snipers, Tannenberg was DOA and Isonzo is criminally underrated
Guess the only way to keep it alive is to return to play it again. Here I go
It’s our duty to play as much as possible. Call in to work!
The Insane Creator No one Watches...
Hey, those 81 people who watch him are some good people though
This comment aged like milk
Lmaoooo
That whole series is basically a game by and for historians, no translation or explanation of equipment names, just "here's the Italian designation, go look it up".
I always get at least one full server of i play during peak hours(USA). Isonzo is definitely my favourite shooter of recent years
At least for now,
Me: foreshadowing
When the developers install AI or Bots to fill their game, like enlisted. It’s like playing Stalker. They are insanely accurate, to the point that the only time you can win a gun fight is when you find another player
This Game is great. Ich zocke das Spiel richtig gerne. I love it
