as someone who did active duty in the army for 8 years, the sound of the M4 is spot on, unfortunately its not crazy or anything, but its very realistic.

[@sickmit3481]

The AK on the other hand sounds very unrealistic there is too much of a metal sound in the shot itself. You wouldnt be able to hear that much metal if you are 200 meters away while getting shot by an AK.

[@brin57]

It was like Moidawg and Bigfry swapped personalities. Moi was Debbie Downer and Bigfry was unusually quite positive about it all. Don't know what some guys expected, but some of the negative stuff was astounding considering this even in it's current state, is some of the best new game potential we've seen in a long time. Graphically, gameplay, and general overall concept, by a developer who appears to be genuinely excited, transparent, and pro-active about bringing the best end product possible. Great review and from what I've seen, right on the money. Maybe a faction patch as an identifier might be a thing. Heli wave off to next nearest LZ is a good call. And yes, random roaming patrols to make those long treks have a sense of danger. Nice work Timmy. Sub'd

[@TimmyTactical]

Couldn't of said it better myself thanks brother 🙏

[@DatAsianGuy]

I think the major difference must have been prior knowledge. Moi not knowing you can cancel animations. Moi talking and implying that IFF (identification of friend or foe) was not an intentional design by the devs even though it was and that they made it very clear that PvP will never be the main gameplay focus for the devs, that they actually want to discourage it as much as possible. On the other hand BigFry seemt to me mostly like someone who actually tries to be informed about the games he talks about. I don't watch him as often as I do other creators in this space, but that's the impression I had. He had more prior knowledge about what GZW is currently and what its goals are for the future, while Moi seemingly went in blind and knowing nothing and criticizing aspects of it as if they were done by mistake rather than intention.

[@vadimyakus]

I still have so much hope for this game especially after Tarkov has finally died after several years of disappointments and false promises.

[@BuckScrotumn]

It’s really cool hearing the perspective of a paramedic on the medical systems in the game. I’m extremely critical of the guns in every video game I play because I’ve had a passion for them ever since I was a little kid. I’m constantly disappointed because I realize certain details about them in games that breaks the immersion for me. I’ve always wondered if people get similarly agitated with other aspects of games that more closely pertain to their lifestyle. Like a homicide detective playing L.A. Noire or an astronomer playing No Man’s Sky. Nothing will ever beat Tarkov when it comes to the guns, but for example, if I’m playing a game where your character racks the bolt on his gun even though it wasn’t empty when he reloaded, I’ll put it down and never play it again, even if everything else about the game is 10/10 in every way imaginable. Do you have any quips in games as a paramedic that completely kills all interest? It has to be rough considering the medical aspect of video games has consisted entirely of “health packs” that instantaneously heal all wounds up until like 5 years ago haha.

[@TimmyTactical]

Being ex infantry the weapons are big for me as well. As far as paramedicine does its just too detailed to ever really have a game that nails it. Up untill a few years ago when I really dove onto arma 3, I didn't give medical in games another thought because I didn't think they would ever have a medical system outside of a health pack lol. Arma 3 opened my eyes with KAT medical, it needs a lot of work in terms of what you treat first and being able to do a systematic approach with it but I found it amazing that you still had to use a medical brain to figure some stuff out ie. It tells you the pt has a tension pneumothorax, you have to know that it's treated with needle decompression so you can select it in your inventory. They even go as far as giving you shockable rhythms on the monitor which is a cool touch however 99% of trauma related arrests are going to be a PEA rhythm lol but I look forward to a game bringing the "medic role" to life and requiring medical skills on a basic level

[@simonshorty2]

Unfortunately, you dont fix stuff in community or I assume in the field either. A blown off leg is a blown off leg, you aint fixing that and atm no ones let you use a wheelchair in combat 😂 I actually rather these games leave it to a simple med pack or some sort of time penalty whereby its a hinderance but I can still focus on the action. I mean, if you want realistic medical in games then it would simply be if it bleeds stop it, ship them off to hospital and wait outside in an ambulance for 6 hours + lol

[@TimmyTactical]

@simonshorty2 haha sorry my guy there's a shit tonne of things a combat medic can do 🤣

[@simonshorty2]

@@TimmyTactical Ye man sorry wasnt meant to offend at all. I dont doubt it, especially being stranded from any facilities out in the field but I meant apart from the extra skills and field surgery its still, and I am over simplifying it here; "stabilising" till evac. Like in a game sense of the way, if a limb is immobilised or blown off there aint no game mechanic thats gunna be realistic where you get miraculously back on your feet and in the action lol Hope that makes sense, not trying to degrade the awesome skills and role of a combat medic, (I am just an "ambulance driver" after all accoring to the public) just would need to be a game in itself, not incorporated into an "action" game. Loved the vid btw 👍

[@TimmyTactical]

@simonshorty2 I'd personally like to see stuff like if your hit in the chest with a round have a chance at developing a tension pneumothorax or if they are heavy bleeding administer some TXA as well. There's a million little things I'd like to implement to make a medic role be an actual medic role within the patrol

[@Aklys]

Interesting review because after watching you play the game I tended to have a very different view of what was good and bad. I thought the audio was extremely decent for EA but the visuals could do with a fair bit more work. Especially the character models and animations, the marshmellow bandaging and some destructable components of the environment (at least windows breaking) and improved LoD loading (which may have just been graphical settings). The few things that seemed needing quick improvements was seeing solid examples of dynamic engaging missions rather than story missions to demonstrate replayability, some meaningful differentiation between factions in any form beyond description (I know equipment differences are coming but it needs to show much more than that) and interactivity with the world such as explosions and shots giving some sense of impact on buildings and vehicles. I do agree with a couple of things though. Such as their needs to be more engaging medical interactions and the adjustments to the bird being able to cancel the landing and returning to base. But these can come later on and the general environment that UE5 enables is pretty spectactular. I'm glad you reviewed it though as it gave me the knowledge that I have to continue to wait for more engaging gameplay from this or another title. Keep up the good work.

[@TimmyTactical]

I appreciate your point of view brother!!!

[@codexnecrogeddon]

Ehh, I actually agree with the point that was made about the quests. They are exhausting. I've had to go back to the bunker for 3 days now and I can't complete it because I need to kill the boss there and he is dead already every time I get there. The same thing is happening at Ban Pa and Sawmill. I have to keep going back to these locations over and over and I can't complete the quests because other players are there and they are killing the AI. When I FINALLY finish the quest, the next quest tells me to go right back to the same location. I really enjoy the game, but the complaint about quests is 100% valid.

[@TimmyTactical]

I can see where people wouldn't like it but my complaint was more like why is he surprised that's exactly what they said they were doing? And he doesn't trash tarkov quest line and its essentially the same

[@GLaZeDDoHNuTz]

Definitely agree with the OP, I totally get that it’s early access, so we will have to see.

[@TimmyTactical]

Yep exactly what I do. However I don't think it even needs to be fixed

[@NvvYvvSvv]

Despite this game frequently rebooting my PC when I connect to a server, I enjoy it. I've had to wipe my account 3 times due to the headless bug, and finally getting some lvl 2 traders was such a relief. I also figured out settings at least for my PC Ryzen 5900x 3080TI that stops the crash/reboot. All low settings, TSR low, no Nvida low latency, and running it in a windowed mode. Running the game in windowed mode is the tricky part because you have to set the window and then lower the screen resolution. Once this is done, do not touch the resolution again, or it will reset, then use maximize window. If you can see the task bar at the bottom and the top of the window, you have done it right. I have solved all of the issues I've had with this method. I did put it back on windowed borderless to test, and I crashed out 10s into a helo flight. I can't explain why it works, unfortunately. If anyone is having issues with their PC force rebooting when connecting to a server, I would recommend trying this.

[@TimmyTactical]

Hot fix 3 will be live in an hour hoping it has some fixes for this kind of thing

[@Nudge822]

Have to agree with your summation, Timmy with regards to the Unreal 5 Engine. KZbin compression takes away the visuals to some degree compared to actual gameplay. But with over 40 hours in game myself I still find myself commenting "This looks amazing" almost every mission we head out on. Some of the visuals are just stunning. Agree this is going to be the number FPS PVPVE game for quite some time into the future.

Much love to you man for being the middle man here. Going in not trying to find the expected problems but instead looking for the thing it can improve upon and add information/context to other claims. Granted im a bit harder and i look at games in their current state on official release and if a game is not complete at release it loses major points from me cuz then I rarely expect to see completed feature later cuz all the hype and playerbase is gone already. I know its only a business model and gets people into the action early but that "rushiness" is what i feel is killing a lot of new releases nowadays. Not saying the game is going to be bad because of this but just really doesnt get me hyped for it...

[@TimmyTactical]

first of all, nice review and thanks for the Video. Second: I think this game still has a lot of issues BUT it has a very solid base and a lot of potential.

The developers have something really good here at hand and I really,really hope they can use this potential.There is still a lot of work to be done but people should relax. That's what Early access is for. Addressing things and help developers shaping the game. We should give it time and see but there is a solid foundation there, that can be build on.

@@TimmyTactical i suppose, but for true realism it handles how it does in actuality. Even shooting an M4 standing unsupported, there isn’t much as far as recoil or snappiness goes.

[@music58635]

100% agree with this review. this game is next level and man oh man does it have the potential to become one of the best. the devs know what they are doing. I think they also understand how to sift through all the noise that reviewers and people can give in reddit, youtube, and discord and find meaningful and exciting additions to the game. 1. Agreed on patrols. I know these will be added, though as soon as my missions started taking me across the map on jaunts, the game felt empty. and then I had this thought... Why would they go through all this time to develop this beautiful and intriguing world just to not fill it with fun and exciting stuff? Ahhh.... (If the thought that this is their intention doesnt pop up, then read this) 2. I want there to be a pub in base. with a bartender, stools I can sit on, and food and drink that I can order. brings that intoxication meter to life and gives it some meaning. Would be a fun way to get even more immersive. 3. I have thought about vehicles for awhile now. It would be cool if there was a way for the system to recognize a queue for specific LZ's and send bigger choppers when required. thus, we would start to see black hawks and Chinooks when there is enough demand to go to a LZ. Additionally, it might be cool to hire tuk-tuks on the map to get you from your current area to a new LZ. 4. I love the guns in the game now, but I am excited for more variety. plenty of situations like the bunker make me wish I had an MP7. I know they are looking to add A TON of guns. so this is just more validation for the future roadmap of the game. 5. I am looking forward to nighttime ops. It will add a whole new perspective to the game. 6. I do think the AI needs optimization. stealth isnt really a thing yet. I tap one dude silenced and the whole army starts running at me. It would be cool if you could silently clear one area onto the next. Given that, I do think it should be very challenging to do so. the idea of combat would be what gives you that anxiety if you were to alert the camp. At the same time, I wonder how that plays out with other factions vying for the same area. 7. If they really want to get ahead of tarkov, they will add in world vendors that are faction specific. this will add a bit of challenge and flair to unlock them to get better equipment. 8. I am very excited to see how they implement the crafting system. I am curious to see what we will be able to craft, and the value that it can add. currently money feels like an infinite resource and I can just buy the kits I want without too much worry. I think this is a good thing, though maybe the best gear should be locked behind some more difficult tasks and/or cost more? I dont know that these are the solutions I would like, as I personally like being able to buy a kitted ar at gunny 2. It makes the game more enjoyable that I dont have to fear about losing my kit completely. that fear is anxiety inducing in tarkov and straight up why I dont bring in my best guns. which is silly because they are meant to be used. 9. If there is to be a auction house or market system, then make it worthwhile and enjoyable. I dont know what this means and how it looks, though many of the issues tarkov faces with cheaters stems from the value that is gained and lost within the flea market. How to solve this, IDK, but I am fascinated to see how GZW navigates this space. Conclusion: Fantastic game with a great Early Access period. through the power of many, I think our collective voices will influence this game to make major changes. I think that something they may look to implement is a democratic system for changes we want to see/add/take away with the deciding power on whether to take that and make it happen or not from the devs. Not all of the changes that people want are good changes, and many of those most vocal right now seem to make the game more like Tarkov, and I think thats a mistake. there are features of tarkov that are fantastic and could be implemented effectively, though there are many others that are not.

Want to extract from there? Wait 4:45m for Chopper. Got killed by that random bot headshotting you through 4 Walls from 80m shortly after Landing? Equip all your stuff and then go again for that boring nearly 5min flight. It gehts worse while completing the tasks. Wait 45s for Chopper, fly 4min, kill 20pmc, wait 4m45s for extract Chopper, fly 4min back to base, Hand in task, get new task in same area, wait 45s for Chopper, fly back into same area for 4min... Wtf. Its 10minutes pure wasted flight time! When choppers are busy you even have to wait a lot longer. ,Its So much lost lifetime. Just stupid. Same as tarkov where we got more and more time needed to be spend in menus between raids to deal with overcomplicated unnecessary shit like 50 Different Ammo types while 48 of them are useless or drinking and eating between raids etc. I want gameplay. I dont want to sit in menus or choppers for hours instead of playing the actual game. I understand that it is important for PVP that you cannot respawn instant next to your dead body. Maybe just disable the last used landing zone or give it a 5min timer to prevent this. Maybe add more landing zones around the areas and make them separate for each faction. But there needs to be a solution! Speed up Choppers a lot! flight time should be as short as possible because it becomes annoying pretty fast and its a loss of lifetime. Especially in the beginning. The Problem with overcrowded beginners regions is even worse than in tarkov. Need to kill 20 people in that shooting range Region? Good luck to find any because there are like 6 or 7 questlines in that area and every 2 Minutes a Chopper with some guys from one of the factions is coming in while the npcs only respawn every 15 minutes. You can try to do Tasks in a Region where no one of your own faction is. But if you get unlucky then there are 6 guys from the 2 other factions clearing that area. With todays state i would not play after a wipe. I would wait at least 2 weeks before getting into it so that the majority of players has advanced from the starting areas and i dont waste my lifetime wandering around cleared out areas full of dead npc bodies. I would not recommend to buy the game now. Not even the cheapest version. I recommend to wait and watch how the devs adress the major negative things in the next 6 months or so.

Yes!!! ACE medical for ARMA is a perfect example of how to simulate combat medicine. Add more weapon choices, vehicles and roving patrols abd your in the money. Server wide events to focus PVP encounters wouldn't be a bad idea either

We need colored Armbands for factions just like they use in real life war right now. If every faction has a colored Armband there wouldnt be as much friendly fire incidents and you could shoot without checking the Map first.

They have said from the start they will bring in differences between the Factions they just have other things to do first

[@2bhuman]

Ive been trying a lot of games lately, looking for something new to sink my teeth into. GZW is by far the most engaging and fun game ive tries...and its not even close to finished yet. Some of these other creators have some wild takes. Instead of saying, "actually, this game just isnt for me," they come up with elaborate ways that the game needs to change to suit their own vision. It's a really strange thing to see. Especially as someone who got to play the game alongside Timmy. We were hearing these early opinions and thinking, "are these guys playing the same game?"

[@TimmyTactical]

Hit the nail on the head!

[@redshift912]

I wish for once these days a dev team would finish a game in their vision instead of the community

[@KrazyHillBilly]

Bitchin about people bitchin! The points the streamers give are accurate and something the devs need to address. The game wasn't ready for release and should of been baked and tested more. Can you imagine spending $50 on upgrades just to loose them immediately? It's like the devs didn't even think about the impact of issues that the games has or maybe they were taking advantage of a $250 game screw up?

[@TimmyTactical]

Agree I'm terms of this shit needs addressing asap but bitching... I'd say more pointing out incorrect information

Great review, thank you. Special thanks for addressing the bs review from other streamers who are afraid that people will abandon the garbage they are playing in favor of GZW which it's early release is superior to where Tarkov was a few years back and stuck in beta for a decade since then....

[@PedroVencore]

the best review I have seen so far, thank you for being this critical, most of the reviews miss the point of what actual Early Access is or even worst, do the review comparing it to tarkov, by now is more than obvious that's it's not the same thing, even Mara said that the goal is not to be a tarkov.

Bro I've thrown hundreds of grenades throughout my career and I've rolled them over the bunker 3m away yes the bang and percussion is wild but visually it's a small flash and a puff of smoke

[@AntiFox08]

This game in my opinion looks a lot like Incursion: Red River, even down to the inventory appearance, though some things like the magazine icons/pictures look different. It also sounds very similar in that Incursion only has the one map and it does the same thing of, go fetch this or go plant bombs here, exfil, get a reward, and do it again. I don't know what came first idea or dev wise, but I feel like if you've played Incursion, you've kinda played Gray Zone Warfare. One thing I have noticed about GZW that I like is the forward grip used on rifles (thumb over the top) and the reduced vertical recoil.

[@TimmyTactical]

That's called a c-grip. Incursion red river was absolute trash compared to this lol but o can see where you draw comparisons. But there are a lot of differences, from a persistent open world to pvp all the way up to how many weapons and customisations you can do compared to the latter

[@AntiFox08]

@@TimmyTactical I saw some friends in discord playing IRR and bought it, thinking it might be worth playing after EA and cheaper to buy now than later. Not only that, but Bluedrake42 gave it some good words. But it's not so much EA that bugs me. Some things I don't like about Incursion are the loot and weapon progression. I feel like in IRR, you have to make room for ammo, then you only have so much room for whatever else. Anything not an AK-74, Glock, or a M4 is kinda hard to come by. If you hit the jackpot and the game throws enemies at you with a Sig Scorpion, SRS, FN 57, etc., you have to pick and choose what you want to keep. Furthering that is the weapon progression. You have different factions, each requiring a higher rank to be able to buy new weapons and attachments. A layman like me is just gonna pick a mission and start the game. Then I might remember the faction I did and do more. At some point, I'm thinking about having something other than an AK-74 or a salvaged M4. I check the shop and I need a higher rank with the other factions I haven't been doing missions for. The AI is also pretty bad. They can either be aimbots or like Stormtroopers. Not only that, let's reference this: When you load into the map, you start in the same spot every time. Not far from you (maybe 200m or so) is an enemy with usually one or two enemies within 75m of him for backup. If you're doing the "Plant bugs around the base" mission, you spawn with a crate in front of you that you have to loot the bugs from. While you're looting the box, that enemy can start shooting at you. A layman like me in a first playthrough isn't going to understand or know where it's coming from. I might give GZW a try.

[@TimmyTactical]

@AntiFox08 if you check my videos I did a review on IRR and I just did not like it at all

Even when they ask you to go to different locations it doesn't change the fact that the quests are not engaging or immersive in any way and they all boil down to go to X and mark or fetch an item. There is no reaction from the game world besides AI that spawn around the quest area. The AI will not try to prevent you from completing the quest. One simple thing that can make a quest a lot more interesting is for example if you need to mark a location, just hold it for a few minutes while waves of AI try to attack you. The problem with the quests is that the game world is too static and you don't trigger anything by marking a location or picking up an item.
