Great video. Strongly agree with your statement about helis. In Day of Infamy the airstrikes worked really well because all of them were only as effective as your placement and timing, and I think the artillery, gun run, drones strikes or smokes are a decently balanced and engaging addition for Sandstorm too, but the helis are simply not fun, tho not using them is giving yourself a major handicap. I wish they would nerf them severely, by strongly reducing their time spent on site, and limiting your choice to either the gunship or minigun, not both.

Agreed, there's too much going on with the commander stuff. It's too much of a disadvantage to not play it, but can be abused to spawn camp. It's pretty ruthless on invasion where it can really be the make or break for sinjar's first cap point. Also do you feel observer just seems like a bit of an afterthought having to be in range.. strikes me as a tick box exercise more than anything.

played since mod aswell, studio and the game has come along way and still feels awesome

[@BOSKASAURUS]

It's been quite the journey. Yeah hats off to them.

The new tell is awesome i love the new areas like the historic citadel in the highest part of the city and the bazaar surrounded by the walls in the lower part of the city. The architecture is really on point when it comes to the context. The only thing taking away some of this map charm is the lightning makes map look dry also this map would benefit from ambiental sounds like sirens rining in the distance from time to time or speakers calling for evacuation or surrender, all of this make sense from a map design context you have the police cars and military checkpoints in restricted areas. I been doing testing and exploration and honestly can't wait for having full matches in release!

[@BOSKASAURUS]

It's a great addition and I have my fingers crossed for maybe a District remake one day. Agreed it does feel a little empty and the lighting could use a better rework, it's far too Orange and it makes the colours a bit too vibrant. There's obviously the disclaimer saying its expected to change because it's CTE but I expected more just given the maps popularity in 2014. Thanks for the comment

Its clearly that you are becaming my favorite youtuber hahay

[@ArranHS]

Not played Sandstorm in a couple months but I had no idea they were remaking Tell. Was the best map in INS:Source alongside Panj and Sinjar

[@BOSKASAURUS]

To be fair their Sinjar remake is pretty on point. Instead of the tunnels they've added a completely new section at the back. I miss district and want that to be remade at some point.

[@ArranHS]

BOSK yeah I’ve played the sinjar remake a lot, good fun

[@xavierbritz]

Good video mate. Keep em coming

[@ddhmarcus2968]

never picked it up, yet thought about it. Nice to see you make a vid on it tho my man

[@BOSKASAURUS]

Yeah it’s a bit different and more Squad content on the way !

[@rattex]

Have this on my wishlist. looks like fun game

[@BOSKASAURUS]

It's definitely different. Need a lot of patience with it so would suggest in small doses at first

[@bearboii181]

Agree. Old tell had better design for atmosphere
