I have a lot of experience playing some of the older Halo games, and my skill in those transferred seamlessly to Murder Miners. I spent the match fighting off 3 or so newbies while protecting the AFK Largest Dog. Didn't understand his significance until I looked more into the game's community.

There was this one World War 2 RTS I played on a CD as a kid and mostly forgot about. I remember it being quite fun, yet difficult, and quit playing after a while, probably because I couldn't beat a mission or something. Eventually ended up losing the CD too somewhere along the way, and the PC it was installed on. However, it lived rent free in my head for all those years. I never forgot about playing the game, nor what it looked like, just all the details such as the name, franchise, and developer. It was always "That One WW2 RTS I Played as a Kid but Don't Remember." I never attempted to seek out the game, since there's a mountain of WW2 strategy games to climb through and I assumed it would be forgotten shovelware. It was Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord. I have never known the title of this game yet always remembered it this whole time. I immediately recognized it when the footage popped up, even though you played a different game in the series. Thank you, Rye, for finally solving the mystery of this game after so long. I'm definitely going to play it again now.

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

Tower unite's a very interesting case of what happens when you can't get an influx of new players to funnel into the less popular modes. It was originally a pair of the most popular Gmod servers, Gmod Tower, that was basically an MMO mario party, and being attached to that far, far more popular game meant that you'd get a whole lotta both new and occasional players joining constantly, to play with the regulars and keep the mini games alive. They eventually wanted to move it off of Gmod because of the source engine's limitations and having their own identity, but... They didn't really change the structure of the game at all. And that became a problem when it had a 20$ price tag. Suddenly, you arn't getting new players and occasional players anymore. So there were barely any players to play the minigames, which kinda killed them, which was half the appeal of the game (again, MMO mario party), so it kinda lead to a death spiral for the game based on its ill-fitting design. The creative/social aspects of the game were largely free from this curse, but the loss of half the game was still enough to drive many off, leaving only the most hardcore left around. Its definitely sad to see what was once a hub for genuinely millions of players, where servers had ques to get in and you could literally see anything or meet anyone, decay into this, but... its not like its over. I don't know what's going through the dev's minds, but they know these issues. They know the game's failing to capture the audience they *know* is there. And they've been cooking something for a while. Hopefully they can solve the issues plauging the game, cause... It was fun whike it lasted.

Wasn't expecting to see Combat Mission on the list, actually I wasn't expecting to see Combat Mission really anywhere outside of those who know it and some RTS circles. For some more context on it to those curious, Combat Mission is actually a military simulator and a different version (Combat Mission Pro) is actually employed by militaries. Think of it as kind of the Arma of RTS/Turn-Based games with it being the most realistic game for the genres as well as incredibly difficult because of that, the Dark Souls of RTS essentially. Unlike other games where you can just send units in you can't really do that in Combat Mission where if you don't employ real life tactics you're gonna lose and lose pretty bad (just like Rye did, and it would've been worse if the enemy had just mortars with how grouped up and exposed his infantry was). There's a few games with 4 being WW2, 2 being modern and 2 cold war (+3 older games from the earlier 2000s which are pretty different and another one set in the Soviet-Afghan War). The most interesting thing about the games though are how the modern ones have predicted 2 conflicts now (well 3). Shock Force (the OG one) came out like ~3 years before the Civil War in Syria and while Black Sea was set in a hypothetical invasion of Ukraine in 2017, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea while it was in development (which it had been since 2009). Then right before Russian troops started mobilising on the border in 2022, they announced their DLC for Black Sea... (though while it is finished or pretty finished, it's currently been delayed till the war's over) I wouldn't really recommend it though to those who aren't into MILSIM or wanting a challenging RTS but on their website (battlefront.com) there are demos for each game. They're also still being developed with a new engine coming soon hopefully as well as DLC and possibly a new game too.

I played hell out of the original Beyond Overlord and Barbarossa to Berlin back in the day. I was broke teenager back then so I pirated 'em. Bit later actually I bought the anthology release containing first two games and Afrika Korps. Only to find out that assholes shipped German version with no swastikas, Waffen SS troops re-branded into something like waffen ZZ or waffen grenadiers, historical names of people involved, dates and locations purged from mission briefings to countries that doesn't hate actual education or fun. Replacing textures, briefing texts and other stuff would have been a massive hassle without scripts or something to automate whole process. Never went back to the series after that.

And like someone else in the video mentioned, we mostly get old players revisiting the game as well, rather than new players. Though it does happen occasionally, and we're always happy to have them.

This series is the personification of the word "wholesome". While the rest of YT freaks out about P2W models, 120$ AAAA games and pointing out graphical glitches in out of bounds areas, this series really takes us to the core of gaming. To a time of saving up gifts from Grandma to buy a new physical game copy, planning for hours at school with friends about what to do in game later, spending 100s of hours on a 5$ purchase and just having a fun time. A time before things got complicated, our friends fell apart or passed away, a time before gaming became a multi billion dollar industry with all the glitz and glam of a fashion week and no heart. I still stay in some of those old discord groups where I met people during the early monster hunter games. We've been through each other's weddings and divorces, talking someone out of taking their own lives and even though we don't play any games together anymore, it takes me back to a time where it all began. :')

Pretty sure he'd leave his 360 running while he was asleep and afk it the whole time. It was hard not to be a little jealous of the name he'd made for himself in the community, but it also wasn't unearned.

almost cried when i saw murder miners... had so much fun on that game with my friends in my childhood. thanks rye guy

[@LeviTompkins-x8i]

This video made me remember about murder miners, and seeing his maps actually brought nostalgia from them. As a kid I never even agknowledged that they were player made maps, and hearing about his passing is sad. He was the one who gave me those memories

[@Speeeedy]

Man... Tower Unite could've been so damn good. I played it when it was still called Gmod Tower in GMOD. They made Tower Unite as an attempt at a standalone game with new and improved features. I played the earliest version of Tower Unite but my excitement for the game died since there weren't many players on and there was nothing to do yet apart from golfing and gambling

[@Jimbly985]

WAIT TOWER UNITE IS GMOD TOWER?????? wtf!!! I did not know that, I played a lot of gmod tower, was fun.

[@BassBanj0]

​@@Jimbly985 yup! The Devs wanted to make a standalone version of it as source had lots of limitations

[@JJ-117.]

Play altitude guys.

[@kevinrieder]

Amen!

[@SamRawlinson-oc6lw]

[@DeadMouseRedband]

Jesus Christ the son of God bless you too my friend.

[@Austrian.Predators]

Amen

[@Xx-VSM-xX]

Noooo god

Blud wot

[@AidenWolff-ku8dx]

I actually used to play murder miners back in the day when it first came out. And i actually played with the largest dog one time when he was playing on a map he recently built making sure it was perfect. He was a legend

[@Gimmegames4free6942]

You should try natural selection 2, its not quite dead with 2 or 3 servers full at times but usually 1 full server in europe, but its really fun and interesting gameplay

[@123isaacg]

Murder miners was the game I played when i went to my younger cousins to play it back when you’d stay playing till the sun came back up. We used to have the best memories. My aunt passed away about a year ago so seeing that game just brought back a lot of good memories like her coming in yelling at us to go to bed already!! Because the fucken birds are chirping

[@marcoklauer5399]

Murder miners was so much fun back in the day I remember all the game modes and servers there were. The city maps and using the grappler to get round and killing other players

[@UnclePhil6705]

Murder Miners was a childhood favorite

[@sarchavius1111]

Murder, miners, unlocked a memory so deep in my mind that it actually blew me away

[@Badger187]

I played and had a personal conversation with the largest dog in a random server In murder miners back in 2016. Murder miners was my childhood game fr.

[@BrokenToyAnimations]

I been part of the altitude community since 2009, its really quiite special, theres about 50 of us that still play fairly daily

[@Ga5l1t3d]

It really warms my heart to see absolute legends take the time to help someone who's never played the game get the chance to actually play and give pointers. That's what the gaming community should be. Hats of fellas!

[@martinholm9556]

i have such good childhood memories from murder miners

[@luke_the_guy_7075]

Dude I loved Battlefield Hardline, but everytime I come back to it I just cannot find a server where's more than 10 people it's just sad because in my opinion BH was one of the best Battlefield titles. I remember when I was young I played Primal Carnage that was a great MMO game about dinosaurs but now it's dead and I feel bad for the comunity.

[@pedronabais1456]

IT'S HIM THE MYSTICAL CREATURe that says "goodbye, see you tomorrow" and actually comes back XD

[@JordanHemminger]

wow, sad to hear i hate how cruel life can be but even as a person who doesnt play murder miners or even ever has, i appreciate the ability for his supporters to be able to enjoy his maps while he is gone! i hope for the murder miners X they release his maps to still be enjoyed by everyone new and a veteran at the games! much love to the Devs and to TLD

[@Hampsterfeld]

DUDE ALTITUDE YEAH! I used to absolutely love that game when I was a kid!

[@LiinerZz]

The multiplayer map you were playing on murder miners was Terminal from cod mw2

[@prod.deathwish]

that murder miners section hit me in the feels i also bought it with some left over dollars from a gift card and instanly feel in love didnt know murder miners x was a thing coming out def gonna check it out once it out

[@b1slee267]

It’s nice knowing that there’s still communities of games whether dead or forgotten that are still around and even more all basically know each other and the wholesome convos.

[@SomeRandomWendigo1403]

Oh my god I played a TON of Murder Miners when I was a kid. I loved it so much

[@zacc6802]

murder miners sent me so far back. i saw the intro and it dragged my memories from so long ago. this video was amazing.

[@MEL_7717]

I forgot about murder miners until now!! Omg I’m glad I remembered this game now 😭 I remembered the time there were loads of people playing it, games full of people…damn time really passes fast

[@in2ane_isaac]

The Largest Dog was like a big brother to me when i was in school, i remember coming home from school and hopping on the game, this video is how i learned he passed away. thank you truly from the bottom of my hear rye

[@PickledPete-u7f]

This was sad to watch, knowing that my most treasured childhood games will join the pile. Maybe even soon. So thanks for the memories boys.

[@davesturchcgi]

I love your videos! So chill and seeing how people are keeping old games alive is so wholesome.

[@Snow.V.R]

It’s crazy that the Altitude servers and website is still up.

[@geddyelmquist9698]

I remember one night ( probably like 7 or 8 years ago)I was playing murder miners with a few of my friends and some randoms on one of the largest dog's maps. I don't remember the name but It was scaled to where you were like an ant in this house with alot of wierd but cool stuff in it. Anyway we were playing and the largest dog actually joined and played with us for a bit and friended some of us on xbox. I'm sad to hear of his passing. I wonder if my 360 account still has him friended

[@Hussar88]

I remember I found out about murder miners because one of the devs randomly sent me a message on the 360

[@cytesnda]

bfh was so fucking fun idk how it died so quick and people either went ahead to the old age war games or back to bf4 but i feel like if enough people spread the word everyone who enjoyed it before would hop on and bring it back

[@cytesnda]

had to come back i think youre completely right without battlefield in the title it wouldve been a winner cause everything thinks of war or wide open battles with that name, in actuality they made a pretty damn good tdm, cops and robbers, and like capture the flag type game. like i bet if it was just hardline youd be right and wouldve had a bunch of people still there. its sad cause to me at least the cops and robbers was super fun but you cant really play it without full teams and comms so itll never come back😢

[@HKIHNDKNSI]

​@@cytesndaI never really got into it, I got into BF4 at the right time so it's the one I have nostalgia for

[@KroneOCE]

this video got me into altitude, and im glad is was the free to play game, and i am glad i have stumbled upon this video

[@kevinrieder]

Awesome! Have you joined us in Discord yet?

[@TimberWulfIsHere]

OMG altitude was one of the first steam games I played. Comppletely forgot about it till now

[@christienowen3499]

people that still keep games like this alive are the core of the gaming community, being able to play the games that shaped us as who we are even if its dead is just so gratifying, i seriously think people should try one day the games we loved as a child have a chance to still be beating

[@Jetsky_YT]

I REMEMBER MURDER MINERS OH MY DAYS

[@finnskellix2977]

TheLargestDog Passed!!! What!! Dude ive not played in so many years. I remember me and my friends would get together every weekend at one of our houses and we would bring our tvs and xboxs and set in the living room amd play for hours good time! R.I.P to the legend TLD you will be and have been missed

[@J0HnNySands1]

these super expensive games have to be some kind of money laundering scheme

[@J0HnNySands1]

@yvonetubla7682 naw...im just being realistic...wtf is the point in selling a pos game that is 100,000 dollars? do you think any game is worth that? id like to hear your reasoning...but i doubt you will reply again...

[@J0HnNySands1]

@yvonetubla7682 im not an admin or a moderator...ur delusional

[@J0HnNySands1]

@yvonetubla7682 nope im not...i just know way more than you do, and realize how the world operates

[@troyrandall5396]

i did not think I was going to like these videos as much as I do. your passion for the community of the game and less the gameplay itself is really the epitome of why I started developing games in the first place. There is something of a safe place in a game that has brought you so much joy, even if you are the only one playing it. You gained a subscriber, Maybe one day you will make a video about a game I made that had an impact on people. keep grinding!

[@braydenbode6843]

I remember playing hardline when I was a kid, on the dust bowl map, just throwing a C4 into the road and waiting for someone to speed by in a car

[@afghanskull7782]

I love that this guy actually interacts with the community and gives them traction, shows that he really cares.

[@thesubPyro]

its sad that half baked triple a games get more attention than games that small studios put so much effort in

[@MrWiggo91]

It's a shame 'Beyond the Wire' doesn't have a bigger community, it's such a fantastic game in a historical setting which just isn't covered that much despite it's immense scale and the profound impact it had on history as well as technology and medical science.

[@Jedibkj2]

These are some of my favorite videos on youtube. Such a good thing for the small communities too I had absolutely no idea Beyond the Wire would be on here or was a dead game. I used to play countless hours per day on that game. Truly a great game that I need to revisit on saturdays now.
