FULL LENGTH MISSION and FIRST IMPRESSIONS of Gameplay! | Broken Arrow

[@ARescueToaster]

I went into the demo cautiously optimistic after hearing people complain that it was "micro heavy" , but I ended up being rather impressed. I tend to *hate* micro heavy games because they often don't allow you a chance to actually witness combat. But I didn't find I had to micro much at all in the demo. They really throw you into the meat grinder without having you prepared at all, which is kind of fun having to experiment and figure things out on your own on the fly, though I imagine a lot of people could be turned off by a lack of any hand-holding or guidance. The visuals are excellent, especially for an RTS of this scale. Seeing an ATGM flying at some enemy armor which (sadly) slips around a corner at the last second, and seeing the ATGM slap into the side of a building... I could almost feel the chunks of concrete and glass. Or a BTR firing its autocannon into a building - it's truly beautiful (and horrifyingly violent). And then the sounds! Like above, but this time HEARING that ATGM slap against a building - or when it actually connects with enemy armor... it's glorious! Great sound in a game helps set up a better and more immersive experience and this demonstrates that. Seriously - why do many AAA developers still skimp on good sound? Besides the 'interesting' voice actor choice (maybe it's just me but while he does a good job, there's some discernable accent), I also had some performance issues when I tried to zoom in close to a fight. I think I had my settings initially too high but my PC locked up for about 10 seconds before I could go into my options to turn a few settings down. Overall I was really impressed and am hoping we get some more demo action in the future before release. Oh and finally, "Omaha Beach 2.0" was really cringe!

[@dwh971]

Good point

[@rkp4360]

Agreed on everything, I'm complete garbage at the demo but I keep revisiting it to try new things and I'm thoroughly enjoying it each time. You nailed it perfectly in how they nailed the "feel" of combat, I haven't seen a game up to this point look like a spitting image of what we're seeing in Ukraine. I don't mind the narrator as much as the voice acting reminds me of World in Conflict in regards to how it's slightly hammywhich I have an immense soft spot for.

[@Ken-df8cp]

I got a 3050 but had to drop the settings to medium but that's just a minor gripe.

[@ARescueToaster]

@@rkp4360 That's a great point about the hammy-ness and makes me see it in a new light!

If you shoot tomahawks from the destroyer you can actually break those high rises in half. It's pretty awesome.

[@LaurensPP]

It's a good move they launch with a campaign and 'story' mode. Warno pretty much stills feels like a proof of concept, in a way.

[@ghostly6175]

I feel the same way with Regiments. It's the opposite of Warno whereas the game is only single player instead of multiplayer but the campaign doesn't really feel progressive it feels more like it's just throwing you into individual scenarios.

[@GPAWDS]

Regiments is trash a very shallow game that looks pretty but that's about it.

[@diego2817]

I already have my RTS (COH) but when I play other RTS I am not familiar with, I always play campaign to have fun while I learn, it is super important for RTS to have a decent campaign and not just multiplayer or skirmish.

They are following the model of the first wargame. The story in the first wargame got more for the game than Eugen realize.

[@GPAWDS]

@@tiagodagostini Sadly Regiments already made a superior RTS

[@madeconomist458]

The game desperately needs automatic smoke/ECM countermeasures, "board nearest transport" and "find nearest cover" buttons for infantry, and a line of sight tool.

[@madeconomist458]

@767 because forced micromanagement is bad?

[@GPAWDS]

@767corp Because things like that in fast paced combat is not only helpful but every other RTS out there has that in their games and if this one doesn't do the same they can enjoy abandoning their game because even lil ole you ain't gonna be enough to keep their lights on!

[@OrangeGills]

@767corp Some micro is interesting, some micro is not. Perfectly microing a tank to keep it safe and firing at ideal targets is interesting or engaging, and not something that a computer would do better or that could be automated. Having to load infantry into transports isn't in any way interesting or engaging, when it could instead be automated to free the player's attention span for combat. In general, tedious and boring micro should be avoided, micromanagement should be interesting and skillful.

[@friendlyinternetman5271]

I played the demo and didn’t very much care for it. It seems like they were going for a mix of Wargame and World in Conflict. Problem is, it has the low time-to-kill, Line of Sight rules, and importance of Range of Wargame, but none of the tools (LoS tool, range tool, etc.) to help you navigate that. And, it has the faster pacing of World in Conflict and its map design, which basically amounts to low time-to-kill grinds in highly lethal packed environments with not many options to deal with it efficiently lol. The problem really is that it kind of wants to be a more arcadey game like WiC but when mixed with the lethality of Wargame its just a bit of a clusterF.

[@tastefulavenger]

Couldn't agree more. Having a sight bubble around units when selected to display ROE is a very needed addition.

[@ARescueToaster]

This battle is supposed to initially be a very difficult slog through an urban environment. Fighting from building to building with limited units against a larger, dug in enemy with artillery, armor and AA coverage. Of course it's going to be nasty with close-range grind when you don't have your own artillery or armor of your own! And I don't know, maybe you haven't played it in a while, but units die very quickly in WiC (which I still play regularly). Calling in gun runs to knock out rows of enemy tanks. Carpet bombing runs that would kill damn near everything in a large path. Or maybe the nuke which would wipe out damn near everything. And then even just among units, a couple Bradleys of BMPs using their ATGM skill could kill just about any armor, instantly. Tanks with white phosphorous can rapidly squads of infantry. Then on-map artillery units and helicopters also have high lethality, though they are somewhat fragile and also cost a good bit of points to field. Finally, and this is going on longer than I intended, but I think it's fine without an LoS or range tool of omniscience, though it's possible (and likely) that they will add one before release unless they have a reason for not doing so. You can already check LoS and range from target to target by hovering over a unit with one of yours selected. I guess it would be helpful to have them, though I think it's too gamey to have instant knowledge of line of sight and point to point ranges for every single point on a map. I didn't see any infantry hauling around surveying equipment!

[@mavor101]

They need to *greatly* increase the per-unit AI so that you don't have to micro so much stuff. If they want Warno-sized battles with 4+ tanks, 10+ vehicles and a bunch of squads, you can't ask the player to also manually press the flare button on helos and things like this.

[@safe-keeper1042]

Yeah, the lack of those tools is baffling, hope that's a WIP thing.

[@ANO-.-NYM]

Just tried the demo and I agree- Smart Orders would be GREAT for this game- considering how many abilities each unit has and how involved resupplying and micro. After playing WARNO I really do love the QoL improvements Eugen does.

[@GPAWDS]

Eugen is trash

[@epicsnake21]

I played the demo myself, and I figured out that you can bring in air supply from the helicopters they give us. It's almost the same as the truck, but you just pick a helicopter and then click the supply button above where you would select units to put in. Then, you can have your unit (helicopter) fly ashore and drop the supplies with the normal controls, but be careful they don't get shot down. They are also very slow to land and drop supplies. Hope this helps Vulcan! Oh, and one more thing, if you pick up your pilots from the water, you should be able to get some of their unit cost back. I figured that out on one of my demo runs when I was curious.

I am not WARGAME fanboy so hyped for every aspects of this game. Micro control, all those variations of vehicles and armors, sounds, effects, battle sizes, realism, etc. The fact that this game comes along with mission editor is solid for me. Beside, with mission editors and custom battle, the battle sizes can be easily extended to WARGAME level.

[@XxSoGRAMBOxX]

Yeah, if they add a 1-4 player coop custom battle type thing where one friend could use mostly infantry another use tanks and maybe a third friend be the air force. That's the dream for me if the ai isn't terrible

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

Got to admit the Demos performance is a bit rough, and it seems it is for a lot of people. I'm hoping this ends up the same as with Regiments though, rough, flawed demo but the main game runs well.

[@tigereyes2012]

I mean its a very very early version of the game that the demo is covering. This is more or less a test of the foundation of the game. Much less anything to do with optimization. I mean, its not like this is one of those 'month before release' sneak peek type of demos.

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

@@tigereyes2012 True, true.

[@forestgaming3993]

@@tigereyes2012 Agreed. I think that it says "Alpha" in the demo and there isn't a release date nor price set says exactly that most of the game isn't there yet. Warno has a much bigger team and has changed immensely since it was released into 'Early Access'. When Slitherine and Steel Balalaika have a finished paid product it'll be the time for reviews. Even then, if you don't like the game you can refund it. I think there is a fair chance that development could continue for years and end up in something incredibly feature rich and solid with a robust modding community. Releasing expansions to fund continued development. Looking at the Total War Warhammer trilogy development. It still has a lot of what I would consider 'Early Access' or 'Beta' issues. The game looks and feels hacked together over 8 years to me and I doubt Creative Assembly will put effort in to make a cohesive quality standard across the game. The demo gives us a great opportunity to watch what the developer does with all of the information gleaned. I think that seeing what actions they take will really tell us about their character as a company and from there it will be easier to get a rough estimation of where the game will end up. People were incredibly negative about Warno when it first released and beat up Eugen for releasing it in an 'Early Access' state into 'Early Access'. Eugen has added so much to the game in such a comparatively short period of time to a lot of other developers. That speaks to their character as a company for me. I hope Steel Balalaika has a similar character.

[@bulletproof3972]

I really dont like the fact, that you have to manually use flares on helicopters and aircraft. It feels like you have to do so much micro, that activating flares seems a bit too much. I would prefer the ECM system from Warno and Wargame. Also, manually adjusting height of aircraft?! Cmon... UI looks clunky, you dont really see which units are selected. Instant jumping in and out of buildings is also too cheecky. And this game NEEDS a Line of sight tool. Otherwise you dont have any intel on your units range capabilitys. But sound and graphics are good. Bit more smoothing in processing, better tree visuals and its good to go. Maybe a Trait system like Warno and Steel Division have?

[@VulcanHDGaming]

I love how this game doesnt treat the Logis as disposable one-use recon units. But valueing their lives is just as, if not more important now aswell since you need vehicles and Logis driving them to supply your vehicles, reinforce troops and carry foot-soldiers around and around. You also get refunded for returned Logis so you can for example use those extra points for that extra IFV you need, or Air support you really want. Great mechanical details Really loving that about Broken Arrow. Also each soldier has *his* weapon and losing that soldier means losing the weapons he carries. Really nice Infantry-details put in there and respecting Logis

[@GamesCooky]

I liked the campaign in World in Conflict. However, the game wasn't very balanced. You could play through the entire campaign with only tanks and APCs. Infantry wasn't really worth it in my opinion. I have a soft spot for Warno right now. In Warno, every unit role is appreciated. Tanks are useless if you don't have recon units. Helicopters and aircraft can easily be countered with some proper AA. And infantry is useful in their versatility. But.....World in Conflict has tactical nukes. Which is awesome.

[@Wildharrier]

You can reload choppers by dropping alt and go over the supply. They should fix that as seems a bit OP really. And you can make the dispersion of the single art bigger by dragging, quite cool if you use the heavy barrage with It.

[@mavor101]

I personally found the very long range of even manpad AA to be difficult to deal with... also pretty much every wave spawns with at least one or two AA pieces so it's a bit hard to use the helos honestly.

[@Squee7e]

@@mavor101 When I used the helos my finger never left the countermeasures button :D I was amazed at how sturdy these helos are in the game. They tanked the lmg fire like in real life and could wipe out some infantry in the buildings before I crossed the gap after the first objective

[@Squee7e]

LAV-25 aim time is like twice as long as BTR-80s. Idk it is just showing a serious balancing issue already and im not sure I like that. I really hope they tweak that stuff in time. Mission was pretty fun until all my vehicles got yeeted before they could even aim.

[@TheHarvHR]

It has potential, but the gameplay is so slow compared to other RTS and there is a huge lack of clarity with the UI. I'm hoping these will be addressed before release, but simple things such as range is really hard to understand/see. I think a lot of things are also quite clunky, again hopefully these will be solved, but pathfinding, unloading infantry (particularly from helis) and in general just clicking squads can be a bit hit or miss. I also don't have any clue how they can reasonably balance certain units like F-22/F-35 without being unrealistically poor with them, whilst making other units like Su-57 unrealistically good.

[@LaurensPP]

[@Failsafe31]

I think a really cool feature would be something like binding artillery to infantry. Designating a supporting fire unit for another unit. For example, let's say you have a squad in a building, and another squad shows up and starts attacking them. The artillery that you bound to your infantry gets the location information from your squad, and starts firing immediately. Sure it's going to use ammo fast, but that's the con to having auto firing artillery supporting friendly units.

Yeah that could be an interesting mechanic.

[@yaka169]

Compared to World in Conflict? Which one is good?

[@VulcanHDGaming]

World in Conflict is a classic, 16 years old now and still one of the best modern war RTS games. We are still waiting to see how Broken Arrow polishes up.

[@DobromirManchev]

Slower paced? MICRO? :D To me, this looks like EXTREMELY fast gameplay with MBTs getting killed in 2-3 seconds, completely MACRO style on the level of HOI4 where you just tell your units where to go GENERALLY and they deal with everything combat-related on their own. Maybe it's my lack of experience with these games, i am more of TW, SC and COH player in terms of RTS, but lol... i found the words "slow" and "micro" very curious when used in context of the gameplay.

[@VulcanHDGaming]

What I was saying is that the game makes you player slower because you have more micro to do. In comparison to the other games I play like Steel Division 2 and Warno, it is slower in that regard.

[@corybrown2197]

I’m sorry but I was losing my mind at you completely ignoring your destroyer that you had.

[@LithuanianBear]

This looks 100x better and more realistic than WARNO or Wargame! also the cold war trope is kinda dead by now, everyone is interested in current conflict, so having the ability to play scenarios in the Baltics is really interesting! looking forawrd !

[@vermilore]

Wow looks amazing! Anyone knows if would be available for GeForce now etc? Thx

[@ee-ef8qr]

They better add black ford raptor trucks to this game.

[@charlesanderson533]

Is this demo over on the 13th

[@Ph33NIXx]

How does the game compare to WarNo - are the games comparable?

[@shqiperia60]

where can i get the beta

[@TEN_652]

can the infanty like coudl you controll them and move them like men of war

[@Lex200680]

This game really lacks enviromental destruction. It is very dissapointing to see all these artlillery explosions do literally no damage to buildings. I understand that it may be difficult to balance this issue and could affect your pc perfomace (considering the size of a map), but they should do at least destructable small houses and maybe some effects (not full destruction) for high-risers.

[@kendlerderival2333]

More gameplay please

[@DopyWantsAPeanut]

Looks like a fun game, World in Conflict status. Definitely not as deep and detailed as Eugen games though.

[@ghostly6175]

What era is this game supposed to take place? I see M47 Dragons which went out of service in 2001 and yet i also see M320's which entered service in 2008

[@junibug6790]

I think the devs only stated that Broken Arrow was set in the "Modern Era".

[@miningchip1]

1990 to present day so any equipment used in 1990 up to today well be seen in this game so expect M60s lol

[@TEN_652]

could you look at the infanty up close i want to see them

[@StevenSeagul783]

Is this game available to Xbox?

[@theLonesoldier18]

[@jonthanbean]

[@molotov6844]

There will be a second demo for multiplayer in spring this year. I think end of March or April is a good estimate.

[@LightLeo111]
