WARNO - 1.0 Release - Any Good in 2024?

[@LTGamingYoutube]

The game has done 180 Degrees...Not 360 as someone correctly pointed out. You do have to laugh at yourself sometimes :P

[@ThatTomCats]

Are you a west countryman like myself? 😅

[@ThatTomCats]

@@LTGamingKZbin same! Great content mate btw. Huge fan of turn based games myself. Warno although a RTS looks like a game I can slow down to my liking.

[@LTGamingYoutube]

@@ThatTomCats much appreciated! Yeah we have lots of turn based stuff here 🚀

[@ARescueToaster]

You were just quoting Last Action Hero

[@chera3777]

For me WARNO is the best RTS in years. I only play singleplayer but even then its a great game. Im a big fan of this game and in my opinion the community is way to critical of Eugen Systems.

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Yes I'm having a blast with it now. Great to see a product come full circle :)

[@sagittariusa9012]

i also startet playing Warno. I did a 2v1 (Me and other AI vs AI) and lost.... Because my Ally did pretty much nothing... He made Kills but he literally just camped and did not capture a single point.

[@LTGamingYoutube]

@@sagittariusa9012 odd! I mainly played 1v 1 so far tbh. And all the Operations!

[@sagittariusa9012]

@@LTGamingKZbin I still like this game, even if I play terrible :) It just feels a bit that allys are supposed to be weaker than enemies. Idk if i had just bad luck.

[@LTGamingYoutube]

@@sagittariusa9012 It is very fast paced and can be tough. Have you tried 1 v1? I recommend learning all the counters to units also.

[@lphoenix1091]

Great to see it turnaround from the barebones experiance that it was. Really good coverage! Thanks :)

[@t1ckles0117]

I distinctly recall having some military books growing up in the late 80s and 90s that had descriptions of the ships / aircraft / armor of the worlds' militaries. I think they, too, helped kickstart the adoration I have for titles like Regiments, Warno, and others. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Yeah were they like the Collins pocket ones? It seriously started my obsession with military hardware haha

[@t1ckles0117]

@@LTGamingKZbin They weren't the Collins/Janes pocket ones you're specifically referencing, but very, VERY similar- I loved them and took them everywhere with me! I'll have to see if I can them online somewhere and pop into the Discord server to drop a link :)

[@LTGamingYoutube]

@@t1ckles0117 that would be great. I've still got mine on the shelf! 🚀 I'm glad people picked up on that reference 🙂

[@TrojanJoe1]

Best modern-(ish) combat RTS on the market. Definitely recommend that newcomers start off with skirmishes on easy and working your way to hardest if you want to stand a chance in multiplayer. Then go into 10v10s for PVP intros. Highly recommend watching people’s strats and trying to build off of it.

[@VampiroGaming]

This video really nails it! The EA Pack actually ain't that bad, it is kind of a little thank you to the playerbase before release and everyone who waited can still buy it (I am sure there will be sales later on). The Gold Edition is basically like a season pass and you get upcoming DLC (and two digital handbooks that I think can be sold separately, too); Gold Edition is also a bit cheaper than individual purposes. Given the track record of Eugen Systems I think they will deliver! (thinking history pass for Steel Division 2 that was possibly, not 100% sure now, but I think it was, in the Total Conflict Edition). It is also important to note: The DLC is optional. If you want to play with the new battlegroups or play the new campaigns, go for it. But it won't lock people out.

[@hans_steiner]

And we just got a GOG release! I'm so happy!

[@IOIFox]

8:49 I think it’s important to note that the gold edition will also give you full access to all future DLC when they release.

[@sd_league]

Great review and overview. :) The gold edition is basically giving you a season pass for the 4 upcoming dlcs that are planned for like around the next year or so to come which will around double the games content. (4 more campaigns, 24 morte divisions 8 new Operations + lots of new nations) Still wouldnt recommend it as it obviously is a way of "preorder" and we all know that that shouldnt be supported unless you are 100% convinced by the product!

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Thanks for the awesome words. Yeah I wasn't a huge fan of that approach and needed to call that out. But overall the game is now a lot of fun :)

[@guyrose2239]

Great review…. Let’s all take a breath and remember that these guys are doing what they do for the love of gaming… we should be thankful for their unrelenting enthusiasm and honest informed critique… it saddens me to see nit picking comments where there is such enthusiasm and openness … just chill it … muchos love to all 🐌❤️🐸🤗💫

[@LTGamingYoutube]

haha appreciated!

[@prototype102010]

Love to see channels more focused on the singleplayer. I'm someone who just really really dislikes online stuff, but would be interested in a game like this, so it's nice to see someone cover it from that perspective. I'll keep an eye on it and might grab it at some point

[@LTGamingYoutube]

We are glad you appreciate the single player aspect too :) I mean I play games to get away from people most of the time!

[@camberiu]

"I really can't stress enough how this game has done a complete 360 degrees..." So it is the exact same as before?🤣🤣🤣

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Hahaha I think I should of said 180 🤣🤣🤣

[@nodu9303]

Warno is the best RTS ever! Thanks Eugen! 🙏

[@Alto1960]

In single player, can you set the starting points as low as you want? Managing too large of an army is difficult for me while learning the game.

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Great to see your take on the game! ★★★ P.s. From one KZbinr to another your aspect ratio for the video seems off during the gameplay and armoury sections. I assume you use a widescreen monitor which does make this game look awesome. :)

[@LTGamingYoutube]

I think this happened as I didn't change the in game setting to 1920 x 1080 just my own screen Res!

[@Drelam]

This game is all I can think about since I bought it 2 weeks ago, I've only played Army General campaign still on the fulda gap one, but game is so fun and a pure WW3 spectacle. 2 things I wish they would add is a full city urban map like Berlin, and maybe another game mode for single player other then the 3 capture zone system, like just one or two zones strictly defense or attack so that deployment and battles would be more varied or concentrated.

[@RaEndymion001]

Warno is releasing with 5 Army General Campaign, Could be played single player or 2 v 2 multiplayer

[@johnhawk4162]

06:11 I think you meant 180deg.

[@infantryblack]

Owned the game for months and never played multi player so have 0 idea about that. Being able to pause or do slow speed to watch the destruction.

[@trax1794]

This has been awhile coming I think!!

[@elsharpos]

Yeah it’s a great game .. a bit hectic at first but you get the hang of the pace eventually .. at the moment I’m playing Brit 1st and loving it

[@I_am_Locutus_of_Borg]

I'm like you, I'm all for slower-paced, turn-based games, so I'm not sure I would enjoy WARNO but I'll keep an eye on it, and on Regiments as well. Thanks!

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Much appreciated as always :) Yeah I have to agree its not typically my favorite type of game but it won me over!

[@Arrwmkr]

There seems to be some snobbery from war games about it, another KZbin told me they thought Warno was arcade-y. I've had a similar journey with it to you and I've enjoyed it too.

[@rtsgamer375]

Game pace is way much slower now, and you dont see any cheese anymore

[@CharlesIsMyName]

Do I buy this or regiments?

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Both are great. Depends if you want slow or faster gameplay!

What do people think about the 3rd party required account? That is holding me back, and I was really considering removing it from wishlist. Giving it time for 3rd party site, feedback..

[@barrysworld640]

Great review, Luke! So I have to ask ... is WARNO 1.0 better than Regiments? Be great if you could do a comparison in the near future. I recently purchased Regiments and enjoy it so wondering if WARNO 1.0 is worth buying when I already own Regiments. Thanks! :)

[@LTGamingYoutube]

There is a lot of content in WARNO I will say that. I've a soft spot for Regiments but overall I'd have to say that WARNO at least till the next Regimenrs DLC is back on top 🚀

[@barrysworld640]

@@LTGamingKZbin Appreciate your prompt and informative feedback, sir!

[@jagbarakor1303]

I hope it's not paid to win with the dlcs?

[@flare242]

I was kinda annoyed that units in Regiments just walk through buildings etc.. Total immersion breaker. Why/how could devs of a strategy game that tries to portray somewhat realistic combat do that? That just seemed weird and took me right out of it. Does Warno do the same thing, or are buildings "physical" objects units can't clip through? Oh, nevermind. Just got to the part in the video where you say it happens as well... DAMMIT WTF? WHYYY???

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Haha that comment did give me a chuckle. It is immersion breaking but guess calculating interaction with buildings is difficult

[@flare242]

@LTGamingKZbin Might be difficult but adds so much.. Compare with something like the Broken Arrow demo, and we're in a completely different category. I really regret it, because i'd love to play it. I love the attention to detail, the graphics, the gameplay, but the units clipping just takes me right out of it. I guess it's not for me then. :-(

[@stephanhernandez897]

The units usually don’t go trough units, collisions are a part of the game. You can hide behind them for example…

[@shammy8703]

360 degree turn? must be an irish thing, they drink a lot there!

[@TheHanfi93]

i always wanted to play a wargame game, but i think its tooooo complex :( broken arrow was nice, and i knew what to do, but warno is surely not that easy lol

[@LTGamingYoutube]

It has got a lot more accessible!

[@strange1702]

6:06 start watching the video from this point to understand my comment. Police: so... after 20long years you are finally free, BUT we have a question for you, have you changed for better? Psychopath: Yes officer, i am a changed man, i have done complete 360 i dont know why, but after this they immediately locked me up.

[@gokudo-cf5pt]

For me WARNO is good, but the micro is too intense. Even more than other RTS game like aoe. So it make me don't want to play multy cause it's too intense, but this make me lean into roleplay more and more

[@stephanhernandez897]

Solo mode with different speed are perfect for this 🎉

[@rustybooper270]

dont know if its just because im a warthunder nut, but to me when your showing of the tanks and planes at the start they look squished haha

[@LTGamingYoutube]

I was playing in super wide-screen and forgot to change the resolution. Tbh don't think it's that noticeable at all.

[@Edward-Plantagenet]

Dude, you’re really not helping here LOL. First I was interested in this, then switched to Regiments after your review, now back again LOL. Appreciate though, things change over time. I really do hope that the game can be slowed a LOT more than this, it’s still too whiz, whiz, whiz for me. Like you I prefer turn based, planning etc etc but that leaves basically Combat Mission and in just tired of the crappy UI, dated engine and general lack of development. Can I put up with, I guess so, am I prepared to, not an any more.

[@Spukow]

being honest: the lobby system is hurting the multiplayer very badly and they need to get rid of it im tired of waiting in a lobby th at never fills up because people are leaving because they only want to bash noobys. For Unit admiration: Id use the the Replay system!

[@ilejovcevski79]

Seeing how at the time i was essentially shooed away from the official forums by an admin no less, for daring to propose more authentic ordnance loads and performance from the then newly implemented jet aircraft, being a simulator and aviation nerd that i am, (early days of airland battle), because in his-her words, MP balance and experience was the game's main focus, and that such trivialities should not be the subject of the game, my personal experiences with the Wargame franchise have been lest then stellar. I mean, don't get me wrong, i own and still at times even play Red Dragon, but it's exactly something i recommend to more serious wargamers or enjoy it that much to even remember when was the last time i played it.... So my questions is, aside from the fact that it's probably the only game of its genre right now, how much concessions does the game make at the expense of the SP experience and historical and technological authenticity, for the sake of MP streamlining and balance?

[@Turican76]

this is not neutral its a AD

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Don't be ridiculous. It was my take on the game. What a clown.

[@DerUnglaeubigeGamer]

i really think broken arrow willl be better , the ammount of untis might be close too this but at broken arrow you can customise the units like + armor for more call in points , diffrent gun or ammo . and so on but warno is fun please if you could do a videpo where too explain pweople how too play multiplayer cap and wich units too use at start . mostly for 10 v 10 can be very frustraiting if people are dheads and dont care for teamplay . Also had the feeling sometimes there are traitors too tell thier friends in enemy team where too shoot combined witzh that teammates is crazy Last 10 rounds i was top tier in my team of capture point and kd but we lost because some dumbheads just go full arty at begininning and dont know how too creaqte combined arms qat beginning .

[@WDGaming010]

A fantastic review of Warno, will be picking it up for myself.👍

[@LTGamingYoutube]

Thanks a lot!

[@makeshiftgamer6909]

Warno isn’t bad but comparing it to war game I feel like warno comes very short in terms of actual content, also Cold War has been done almost to death in my eyes. It’s a good game but after playing Broken Arrows betas, I’m fully sold that Broken arrow is going to set the new standard for this style of RTS bc broken arrow blew me away in what you can do.

"Victim of the Steam refund policy". Frankly that policy helps to prevent folks being victimized with underdeveloped games. Poor choice of wording...

Apparently constructive criticism, which this was intended to be, isn't welcomed. I have given positive comments here in the past. Grow a thicker skin, brother...

@@blastpop well this is what surprised me. I recognized your tag and have looked at your channel previously. I clearly support the Steam refund policy (as I used it) and thus you did misrepresent what I said and wasn't gonna let that slide. That's interesting advice considering you are the one that is "insulted" despite me merely correcting you. Feedback is always welcome and we get some negative and many positive comments. But in this instance what you interpreted/asserted was wrong. I'm an advocate for the Steam refund policy!

@CrispiestRiver0 you won't notice in 10vs10 cuz it's a chaos. In rank you notice AA don't shot planes even tho it's up their head. Also, Bradleys with 10 hp left on trees have immune vs tanks. Recons have more chance to kill a tank then a proper anti tank infantry. And more and more.
