You are so wrong about the avenues of approach. I really hope PS stays different from SQUAD.

[@isaiahscott1998]

Post Scriptum has been great. Glad the servers are full and players are aggressive.

[@PSRMRangers]

Gotta disagree with you though the idea that the enemy won't attack through the red zone. They do all the time. The only thing you know in advance is that they won't have an MSP in that red zone. They can have rallies though and most likely will. So it doesn't really limit an attackers ability to choose where they attack from.

[@jercraftman7771]

Plus, he was directly on the point too. You can place rallies just outside of cap zones as long as you don't see the point name on the screen. Guess he didn't know at the time.

[@nico-lasty]

I literally only attack through the red zone when I'm squad leader. I will ALWAYS take the longer, sneakier route through the red zone. People like Nikoli don't expect it though ;)

[@sargantana100]

[@revanofkorriban1505]

He's just salty and incompetent. What kind of clown would put down a rally on the BRIDGE, in plain sight of everybody, when he has a perfectly defensible point just 200 meters south?

[@aaronritchie6426]

Yeah I think we got the message that you don’t like MSPs 😄 Have to mostly disagree though - in Squad you build habs, in PS the engineers can build FOBs that are just the same, plus you get MSPs as well, which are just like driving a logi in Squad to build a hab, though they’re too easily destroyed tbh whereas habs take more damage. rally points have been in the game for 3 years now at least where there’s a 6min timer on them which the radioman or the Squad leader has to refresh. The radioman can do it remotely. Removing the timer is a good idea probably, but besides that it’s pretty similar to Squad.

[@coolcolorado127]

As someone who SLs frequently, I like the timer as it forces me to think of our movement paths, and even the decisions to reset it/move it when the fighting is too close need to be planned in advance to ensure you arent stuck waiting on a timer.

[@thestoicsteve]

I love your videos Nikolai and it is good to see you playing Post Scriptum. Yes the MSPs cant be placed in that known arc, but I think they are a useful tool. You place them them, then spawn on them then push forward a bit and create a squad spawn point nearer the objective. What alternatives to other games provide? Yes you need effective co-ordination within a squad to do well in the game, and having squads communicate and attack from diff directions is vital. I have been playing this game since it was out and no other game gives me the same team-spirit as this one does. It is great to see it supported again. See you on the battlefield!

[@tberkoff]

Nikolai, the game takes practice and you need to learn the rules. You need good squad leaders and players with experience. Stop playing Squad all day and start playing PS.

[@louisavondart9178]

C'mon ! Red zones for MSP's have always been a thing in PS. That's why section leaders have to be creative and make Rallies. Logi teams make FOB's and hunt for MSP's. That's part of what makes the game fluid and less predicatable. A good Logi team can ruin an attacking teams plan and when on attack, they make it possible to steam roll the opposition. Msp's are the lazy mans fallback but are fun to find and blow up.

[@palombinii]

[@ClawsTM]

Here is the thing - PS is not just a squad re skin, and we the community like the game mechanics and its differences. PS does need some work in places but not much and i dont think the MSP's are bad at all, as others have pointed out its a bonus on top of fob's and rallies so its not limiting compaired to Squad. As before Ps is a different game with a seperate logistics section so you have to take this into account too when doing a deep dive into the spawn mechanics, its not a straight comparison to Squad. ( i know you are not new to Ps ) A shame if you consider the game " unplayable " you make good content dude, but if you want a straight WW2 squad re skin then maybe its not for you. The level of coordinatinon you mentioned is right , but both games suffer when this falls- How many squad invasion /raas games have you seen where its only attack habs ( as in forward of defend points ) playing as defenders or raas defend points, everyone still spawns at the attack hab just because they want to have action whilst the enemy team just cap the rest of the points ....

[@AndyP998]

First time heard someone complain about MSP, there are other issues but this is the least. And doesnt need to be carbon copy of Squad.

[@emptyloftspace7486]

If you remove msp's, and your logi squad is bad or being screwed by the enemy team. Then your teams fucked, you wont be able to spawn anywhere.

[@YellowshortsUFC]

Not everything is going to be squad bro. You need to try different things. Meta is a dumb thing to bring up and game companies should stay away from it. I don’t want every game to be a skin of another

[@chebmichael]

PS is a great game but with some graphical and interface bugs (no game is perfect). On the other hand, they have made it possible to have strategically relevant maps, locations and points while still making the game feel fun and dynamic and not slow like other games such as SQUAD or other "realistic" games (ARMA + mods). On this map "DRIEL" and layout you played, the German (attacking) side typically have to capture five to six points. If their only option was to cross the bridge(s) or develop FOBs/HABS like in Squad, the game would be extremely difficult for the German side and make the game boring and slow because you could easily defend the bridge and never have to defend or explore the other points. The MSPs give great dynamism to the game, they allow the attackers to more easily change attack direction, flip strategy and react more quickly to what is going on, it also allows the Polish/British regiment (Polish regiments were also partially supplied in equipment by the British btw) defending the bridge, which is a very far from the Polish spawn point, to try to bring in reinforcements as quickly as possible via supplies, FOBs/HABs or MSPs. While the game is punishing and you can die very quickly, you can also spawn more easily and quickly thanks to squad leader radios, mobile spawn points, FOBS and fixed spawn points. Overall, it makes the game more dynamic and fun. And if it doesn't fit your game style, there are plenty of other great games and mods out there for slower pace and methodical action but it does not make PS "unplayable" - just different to what you've experienced in other games.

This isn't Squad and complaining that this game isn't like squad is kind of pointless. Post scriptum plays so differently and without MSPs sometimes your team won't even get out of base. You need very good commander and squad leaders probably more than squad.

[@Sledgehammer1944]

The core mechanics of the game are very fun like the weapons, ballistics systems, tanks, but I agree that some ways of how spawn points work and where you can attack from on a map can be a nightmare. Have always had high hopes for it and am counting on this game becoming even greater

[@yidigi2556]

i can understand why nobody gone for eastern attack in doorwerth cuz people are lazy they dont wanna place other msp redzone thick side or wait for fobs that logi will build and ran towards point or use vehicles that they can obtain from main and vehicle tents so they can place their rallies to eastern side and with their spawn point they can mess with enmy logis and their spawn points. Msps or red zone doesnt create any problem people and lack of strategy or communication do.

I bought it back in 2021 and returned it because HLL was booming at the time, however with that game going downhill I think OWI have made a great move acquiring the IP - hopefully they can fix it up and get it to where Squad has been over the last 12 months or so - I tried playing the other night but the optimisation etc is still terrible. Not that OWI has a great rep for that stuff but they've at least fixed a lot of issues with Squad. I have faith. Plus it was £4.99 on cdkeys, so can't argue with that pricing.

@@nico-lasty what an incredibly weak straw man. At the time, PS had 1 or 2 servers that were full, at the most. So it was restrictive on times of access. When you did get in, it was buggy, laggy and an unenjoyable experience. However HLL was constantly populated in servers across various different time zones, had received performance and content updates and was a very fun game to play, so that made the decision easy on which one to stick. Play a bad game to feel virtuous in the KZbin comment section or play a fun game because I value the limited time I get to spend gaming as an adult? It’s was a decision as simple as your comment.

Honestly I do not think PS is "REVIVED" as youtubers sais in their videos... not yet at least. Before downloading the game I will wait for OWI to release the first patches so I can see what changes they are making and where the game will go. I really hope it becomes like Squad at some point. After all the original Squad name was "Project Reality 2" which leads to Project Reality mod for BF2 and it was ahead of it's time, not to mention that the mod had 3 war scenario in it (modern conflict, vietnam and ww2). When they announced Squad, i've bought the game when it was in Alpha Stage yet and hoped for a single game with all the different scenarios just like in Project Reality, maybe with the war scenarios as DLCs rather than diffent games. Today we have two different games and I hope they become at least very similar. At the moment the only thing I like about PS is the ww2 and the "armoured vehicle overhaul", they should make the same in squad armors aswell tho and PS just like Squad.

The notion that rallies should be allowed on-point is laughable. It's hard enough for the attackers as is. On that map you're defending one of the strongest positions in the game. If you lose it, it's on you, not the devs. We can already start with that frankly idiotic push across the bridge... Ahem... You do realize that they're just crossing the pontoons? And you can see them a mile away from the point? You're just sending your men away from the objective and then get surprised when you get whooped from behind. You threw an easy win.

Your long time away from playing this game is really showing in this video. I genuinely don't get why you would get on the game for the first time in year and then not only squad lead but also complain about some of the most important game mechanics like you've been playing the game consistently for the last year and know how it plays. Like even down to small things that made no sense like setting your rally in the middle of the bridge or using attack markers to try and mark stuff for the team. Only your squad can see the green attack marks so you let that entire enemy squad flank across the southern pontoon bridge without anyone knowing about it. Even that "msp" you were shooting, it was just a plain transport. PS is not Squad and never should be. If you want the new owners just to turn it into Squad with a new skin pack you should just stick to Squad.
