I'd like to add that while your teammate is defusing a bomb you should definitely try to Mr. President them and just eat the bullet from camping attackers by standing Infront of the defusing guy. It's worth it getting the defuse through

[@huggniceman4975]

"but what about my K-D, bro!"

[@markb4890]

​@@huggniceman4975 oh yeah that's right we can't mess up these people's only accomplishment in life. Cuz you know messing up the KD score keeps them from getting good jobs, keeps the credit score low, ruins their social standing, has some kind of real world impact on their life (it doesn't it's useless numbers) anybody who values that goes to show exactly how small-minded they are and how little about how the world works tiny miniscule accomplishment that was designed to keep them distracted from ever actually being a threat to anybody😂😂😂

[@brandonking5406]

To hell with ur k/d ur dead anyway​@huggniceman4975

[@sjhof9559]

Just did my first two matches and a half, I love it. I come from mainly Enlisted and HLL, I think Isonzo is the best balance between hardcore realism and fun gameplay, wow. Plus I died 42 times at Caporetto, as an Italian I FELT that 🤣

[@AustinAOkay]

Yo rearming mortar positions is game changing thank you

[@danmorgan3685]

I can't agree enough regarding pistols. In the actual war trench raiders would often leave their rifles behind in favor of pistols and grenades.

[@_paradr0id]

I think this is the first actually helpful bit of content made for the game. Well done. Please keep it up man.

[@themeat70]

I knew I should slow down. After watching the video I started to get alot more stationary until my team starts advancing. It really did change the game for me. Still die a ton but thats the game. Atleast im getting kills now too.

[@MarcBlanka]

Thanks for the tips, didn't know about the ability to place fortifications on objectives beforehand so good to know ! I'm on the PS5 and actually had no idea this game even existed until it came out, so it was a pleasant surprise after the disappointment of BF2042 (I'm a big battlefield fan but didn't pick the latest one up) and hopefully the player base sticks around for a while. One thing I have to say on console at least is that the aiming seems quite clunky, I'm not the best at shooters anyway, but I'm really finding it difficult to get my shots on target, and this is from someone who also plays Hell Let Loose on console (your series of videos on that game were great to watch when I was starting out). Any more videos you can make on Isonzo would be very much appreciated !

[@brendantrago5739]

I also play a lot of hell let loose on console and felt the same way with the default Isonzo settings. I run about a 5 on general sensitivity. (Sensitivity when you're not aiming basically) About a 3 on Aiming sensitivity 1.9 for the x axis And I think close to 1 maybe 1.2 for y axis. I'm still tweaking with it. But I hope these settings might help you too. These helped me a lot. The x and y sensitivity settings appear to be like deadzone settings.

[@themeat70]

I turned my aiming sensitivity way up and that helped me. But when im tryng to make real small adjustments i have issues with the controller. Im gonna have to mess with the dead zone for that i think.

[@banjillaphranks]

It seems the developers always have struggled with console aiming. The same problem appears in Verdun. It’s kind of like Enlisted and 7days to die in that way

[@MarcBlanka]

@@brendantrago5739 Thanks, I'll give those settings a try! Have to admit that at times I feel like some of my opponents are using aimbots, I don't know how people manage to get their shots on target so quickly 🙂

[@brendantrago5739]

@@MarcBlanka I feel the same way about getting wrecked by the enemy haha. But some of the guys killing you are actually bots. And some of them are veterans who've played since Verdun. Try a group of settings that feel better and stick with them for a bit before you go and change them again. Eventually you'll find something that works for you. Just make small adjustments to one setting at a time once you start feeling it's getting there. I still don't think the aiming is nearly as crisp as Hell Let Loose console though. They need more adjustments on Isonzo for console or patch it.

[@EpicJoshua314]

Slowing down is a big one. Made the same mistake as others by charging forwards only to find 4 enemy guys who shoot at me when if I stayed where I was I would have gotten them.

[@TeamSneakBE]

Man im so in love with this game. Nice video Mono!

[@Yee20234]

Same

[@deeznoots6241]

7:47 creeping barrage shouldn’t be used like that, you want it going from your team to the enemy team since the whole point of a creeping barrage is that it allows your team to advance directly behind the creep of artillery blasts into enemy positions cleared by the blasts. Its actually really effective when used well and can make some attacking maps trivial when used correctly

[@DaveD_223]

Awesome video with some great tips, thank you!

[@mrdogytoy6242]

Thanks for the video, it really help me on getting way better at ISONZO

[@Pablo-qo2hm]

Looking to pick this game up soon, glad I’ll have a head start! Thanks!

[@hugoboss917]

Got it 3 days ago. Love it

[@Yee20234]

Great tips! You earned my sub

[@monoespacial]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Martyr_of_vigilance]

I always quote the dark souls edition “prepare to die”

[@defender346]

Thank you for the guide!

[@trenchrunner9333]

I did the bit tips by accident before watching this. Now context, I had no Xbox live 2 days after it came out and just grinded for ages against bots, the weapon unlocks were done easily like you said. Also officer class can easily be maxed by just versing bots because a lot of them don’t register gas attacks and it racks up kills towards ranks.

[@confusedcapitalist2242]

Here is a big thing for console players, pay attention to your mini maps, corners and audio cues If you are defending and hans down the trench line gets domed and your sitting on your ass zoned in on a single dude you are not helping, one guy is not worth an entire breakthrough of a defensive line. React and kill the attackers before you worry about Mario up on a hill! When you are running around the map as attackers or defenders look around at your surroundings especially the bushes and the corners of a rock or trench, I can’t tell you how many times a teammate just ran past a enemy and let that guy kill half the defensive line because they couldn’t be bothered to look to the massive trench line to their left! Audio is important, most of the time footsteps won’t be heard either do to the environment/fighting or do to the game. You need to rely on the mini map and listen for the rifle or pistol fire! If you see a small skull pop up after hearing a man go ham with a pistol it’s safe to assume it’s not safe and to throw a grenade or get ready for a fight! Also, please stop running towards the machine gun that just gunned down 5+ guys, shoot the damn person.

[@B4c0nDrummer]

A note on revolvers Their reload can be interrupted, an advantage over most weapons

[@sitpaintandplay3881]

Great tips I had a 4/36 kd ratio in the first hour of play, and I considered deleting. Game is crazy difficult to see anything. I'll take these into consideration and hopefully we can get a better play

[@seppelson3856]

Good one! Thx!

[@WarComet]

More Izonso tips videos please!

[@zebdawson3687]

Dang, brother. I’m new to the game and have been shopping around for guides. Having seen quite a few at this point, I felt the need to leave some feedback after seeing yours. Most guides I see are made by “content creators”. They see a new game and “ope, gotta make a guide for that and get some views out of it”. They play for a handful of hours and spread some admittedly well-intentioned misinformation in their half-baked guides. You actually made this guide from the stance of actual experience playing the game, as well as reflecting on that experience to help us less experienced players get into the game faster. You shared stuff that you only get to know by putting boots on the ground, so to speak. A few highlights I found helpful, aside from the all-important SLOW DOWN!: as a newbie engineer, learning you can build on objectives before they’re objectives is HUGE! Also, how many defensive items you can build. How to use and resupply mortars, effective HMG usage (vs grabbing it and just getting shot immediately), benefits of revolvers vs. pistols, etc. You had a great take on tunnel vision challenges (“I think we would all rather have players that are not really focused on the game be playing on their own” most definitely). Couldn’t agree more. I also found your “call to action”, as KZbin calls it (encouraging viewers to engage, “like, comment, subscribe” etc.), to be very classy. You segued from engineer tips to “I’m gonna make a guide for engineer building, subscribe if you want to notified when that happens”. Great approach, to the point, relevant, helpful, and classy. Later mentioning a like would help the channel, that one always gets me to like if I haven’t yet. In conclusion, you just made me write a 5 paragraph essay on your video. Super helpful guide! Absolute props, man!

[@kylebenson9185]

Just got it it's beautiful I hope the devs keep updating it only issue I have is sometimes a lag in shooting an enemy like I shot em but nothing happens

[@polo_sheridan2869]

Be a bush Wookiee and rack up the kills!! I love this game.

[@adsffdaaf4170]

Historically the HMG were put on the line behind the front line, probably for the same reasons in the game.

[@MrGreens1234]

Do you have to set up the custom match in a certain way in order to compete assignments? Or has the game been updated to not allow assignments to be completed in custom matches? My assignments aren't progressing when I play in a custom match.

[@eanternet]

Awesome thank you

[@user-op8fg3ny3j]

Great advice as always mono. Between this game and HLL, which do you think is harder or requires more thinking?

[@monoespacial]

HLL for sure! Isonzo is more arcady and there's basically no communication going on (though sending a chat message sometimes helps a lot).

[@TheLordTravis]

Good video

[@SkankHunt007]

Tip #3 is actually half poor. ALWAYS play objective first, then worry about your kills. Defense is one thing, dig in. Offense is just that, an OFFENSIVE.

[@peterclarke7240]

I'm not sure you grasped what his point one. He was saying that, IF you find yourself getting killed over-and over while trying to charge in like you're a speedballer, then stop. It's OK to adopt a support/sniper role to allow your team the covering fire to move up. This feels like the bit too many tactical squad shooters forget: actual military tactics rarely involve everyone charging in like a bunch of loons without covering fire or without units who's sole purpose is to hang back and soften up the lines for the assault squads. It's not about being selfish and trying to get your kills up, it's about actually being of use to your team by doing something other than trying to catch bullets with your face.

[@zebdawson3687]

@@peterclarke7240well put, man. Glad I wasn’t the only one who caught the lesson he was teaching there.

[@goatsneedguns1444]

What are your graphic settings? The edges on my game are all very, very jagged. I tried turning on anti-aliasing, but that just made the whole game look smeared, for lack of a better word.

[@BRICKBURN]

What FOV do you use?

[@sleepylarry]

Use your melee you can chain stabs and clear rooms with ease

[@Grimreapo]

Hey mono, are you still looking at the comments, if so in your next video can you drill it into people not to cut the friendly Baracade Barbed Wire as much as the spawn points in Hell Let Loose it a way to see where the other is pushing using the mini-map. As for Officer, the MOST needed is creeping smoke and you always putting it down always. As for pistols, give the Glisenti a go as it is my fave weapon in the game, upper chest shot means one kill and quick reload. Mess around with the Austrian pistols as good as revolvers are you need to in mind you may have to "Mag Dump" in a trench to take down several guys, then reload quickly and take more out but the "one chamber at a time" reload can be deadly. Also would love to hear ya views on the different rifles, straight bolt vs 6 rounds rifles...

[@mineralinis]

The only thing i cant do in this game is play as an officer. Like i know what to do and what abilities to use and how to be most efficient ect. The problem is the map reading! Its like its upside down while on radio post and that just confuses the heck out of me. Maybe someone knows a tip how to make it normal ? or a mod or something

[@monoespacial]

There is an option to not have the fix the minimap's orientation, so maybe that?

[@Creamy_Dog]

When will the fortifications guide vid come out?

[@monoespacial]

Not sure, I need to play more so I can give actual advice and not just generic tips

[@dangitdave9688]

I think the weapon sway needs to be decreased by 15% to 20% entirely too much makes it hard and difficult when trying to capture an objective.

[@Master-hunter2000]

How could you see guys soo far out while on that machine gun?

[@monoespacial]

I could see them on my screen. Video compression isn't very good when it comes to tiny details. Basically I could see the sky through a window and would see it get blocked slightly.

[@piercequinlin]

Nah, I charge in knifes swinging can't stop won't stop me

[@rhinorex47]

Sad that no one communicates in this game

[@leonardotornesello930]

I mainly play the engineer but i find that you have way too many limitations in what you can build. For example you can build two types of sandbags that are IDENTICAL in size and they cannot even be "stacked" in order to make a wall that covers your whole body of blocks entrances. Also you cannot fortify machine gun positions with them and it makes the machine gun pretty unusable (since you get insta killed). I also hate the limitations on barbed wire... Why can't i place the same type of wire next to each other? I'd find it reasonable only if the lenght of the wire was very long.

[@tobiasfunke3357]

Gamepass gamers unite! Love the game

[@edmundojosezuazuachapa1612]

Maybe

[@wassilylair7534]

not agree with officer's tips. better skils is "1st line officer", it has the best perks offeneisve. so for those who don't know, this skill allow officert to reappear on any squad leader and any squad leader to reappear on you. with this one you could always been on the frontline and have no need to spawn far behind.

[@e.c.9468]

Well, how can you get frustrated by killing so much enemies so fast ? Playing PC with a mouse it is almost impossible to aim and shoot fast, which makes that 1. I miss a lot of moving shots 2. I die a lot

Oh my gosh just give tips for once without your “to fast of cooldowns, need to fix every element of the game” opinions. Good grief you people complain about everything until it suits your OWN gay play style.

[@monoespacial]

Oh my gosh dude just write your criticism for one without your unnecessary inflammatory and shitty language that immediately discredits whatever you say. Also good job at keeping the stereotype alive and well, Texas Guy.

Ehh doesn’t look visually that great and rather boring compared to HLL

[@coalminecanary1277]

Anytime I get the urge to play HLL but don’t really wanna talk much I play this instead

[@BADgrizzz]

Really my guy…I like your video, the tips you gave are sublime! but you said one thing…🫢😬…WHY BRO!? Why would you say that!? Oh god! No! DO NOT USE BOTS to help level up your game guys…don’t be lazy like that, like seriously!? You know that’s not earning it right? you have to earn it! the right way! With good old-fashioned challenges, what is this lazy generation doing? 😂
