WE ARE SO BACK! The BEST Modern RTS Returns! | Broken Arrow Gameplay

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Open beta is live, go go go! > store.steampowered.com/app/1604270/Broken_Arrow/

[@comanderlucky656]

Cheers! On it!

[@henriktw4051]

i rly would like to go... but i either have server disconnects or cant find any match while arprox. waiting 15 minutes -_-

[@DaBestEmperor]

This game is so weird. It is both larger and smaller scale than Warno at the same time. The maps and battles feel larger due to camera angle, but are actually either the same or smaller than Warno. You definitely command less individual units than in Warno, thus manage smaller battles. Yet at the same time the player has access to strategic weapons such as Heavy bombers, transport planes, large SAMs such as Patriot or S-300, and apparently nukes now. Definitely more of an acrade style gameplay I think.

[@wasgeht6328]

I see so many singleplayer potential but the multiplayer is gonna be sweating Sc2 gameplay while being 10times slower in terms of Progression

[@rryannn1]

i agree. it definitely feels at odds with itself.

[@bobbot5400]

Its odd, your assigned units from at the strategic level (corp level assests and greater frequently), and yet often have no more than a battalion faceing off a battalion (scale up 1 batt. Per player multiplayer obv.), kinda makes the scale of it all odd

[@1017-y9x]

Its because the maps are so dense. They resemble actual cities instead of the weird maps warno makes up

[@ghoststeam1296]

Idk if u tryed it already but game feels really good and not slow at all

[@dhammanunthd.4387]

28:53 yeah, because units in this game don’t give warnings or any alerts when they get shot at. I’ve commented on this once before and it’s weird how they’ve yet to implement it. I mean, it’s one of the most common features in any rts game, especially the micro intensive ones.

[@LauftFafa]

bruh, its still a beta and it already changed a lot from the last . we will get that when time come

[@cisarovnajosefina4525]

You need to complain to the developers propper (not saying that you didn't) so they feel like adding it. Developers get focused on new stuff and forget quality of life

[@MrObearos]

If the devs are going to continue with the limited unit design, they should borrow more from WiC or endwar and add a unit quick tab to show every unit's status

[@MrScanko]

It's beta dude 😂

[@beltempest4448]

The unit icons flash when they take fire..

[@CapybaraConnoisseur89]

Downloading it now so excited for this game it's unreal EDIT: I noticed sound design has improved especially jets they do sound better now. Also that C-130 sound at 19:45 perfect, can't wait to se AC-130 in action

[@usmcdevilpup223]

The opening air battle was absolutely spectacular.

[@whyfii]

Dude really poked the hornet nest 😂

[@NiklasFranGoteborg]

Can't wait for this to come out so I can play it in single player mode.

[@tagguh1]

There's a three person coop scenario at the moment in the beta, but it is only one mission and it's rather bland.

[@rosen9425]

Hoping for an epic campaign 🤞

[@Zero.42]

They better bring out a decent solo skirmish mode with somewhat challenging AI to test everything out on, not to mention be able to play offline

[@BatyusFrodo]

[@Cradleling]

It's wonderful to have a modern rts, with modern tech! It looks amazing!

[@ThePoutinePrince]

It's so strange how they have so much detail and realism regarding units and customization, but not in any other aspect of the game lmao. 1400m tank range is crazy

[@Chinocchi]

35:00 That LVSR rode through the whole frontline. 😂

[@johnnyenglish583]

LOL, a tactical nuke explodes 500 metres away and that tiny building with an enemy squad inside just shrugs it off :-)))))))))))))))

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Yeah they might need to turn up the blast just a tad 😂

[@PenTheMighty]

They could just make them MOAB style super-bombs. That way you don't have to deal with the blast physics (a real nuke would incinerate the entire map) or radiation area of denial.

[@jkull173]

@@PenTheMighty yeah calling them Nukes just feels so out of character for a game that focuses on trying to realistically represent all the other units. Just calling it a MOAB like you said makes so much more sense.

[@freezedeve3119]

it is possible to survive that in real life too at least in theory, if you are in some sort of building which have underground level

[@johnnyenglish583]

@@jkull173 these are tactical nukes, though, with a much smaller radius. With a small 1-kiloton warhead you get total destruction in a radius of about 500 m.

Those madmen actually did it. They put the broken arrow into Broken Arrow.

[@alecm4961]

This game is amazing. I Enjoy your commentary! Thanks for the upload.

[@JoeTheis]

So glad it’s back and you’re posting games again!

[@FelixGryph]

That massive opening Globemaster paradrop looks amazing, though I imagine it's a pretty big risk gameplay wise to put so many of your starting points into a single point of failure like that. You don't get air superiority in the first 30 seconds, I imagine that thing is not living for very long.

[@christopherhodgdon8638]

@FelixGryph it is a very big risk big reward tactic but still fun none the less

[@consiglieridopchie]

I was just wondering this week where this game went! Welcome back Broken Arrow!

[@EgnachHelton]

34:31 the supply convoy did a little bit of scouting there😂

[@madeconomist458]

Artillery is broken as fuck in this game. They need to increase the range so that artillery act as, ya know, ARTILLERY, not grenade launchers.

sounds like a skill issue. no one want this game to end up in arty snipe across the map. Lame

[@cassu6]

I have the exact opposite thoughts arty and cruise missiles are fucking ass to play against if you don't have big arty yourself.

[@crimson1228]

3:26 thats kind of their job, is that theyre so good at being infantry they can jump out the back of a plane, land ontop of the enemy and still win with minimal support

[@JMentos925]

This game looks amazing. Like a crossover between Warno and World in Conflict! Can’t wait!

[@admiralcasperr]

Starting the video with a good pickle, nice.

[@InFlamesor12]

This looks absolutely awesome, world in conflict was one of my favourite rts games, downloading this right now as I watch this footage, the graphics are kind not that impressive, but the sound design is out of this world, wow.

[@matthewmoore8494]

I can't believe it's here, I can finally have fun with my friends again

[@Simspon96]

Advert started for me right as the nuke exploded, bright flash then boom advert 😂😂😂

[@Shock255]

That "nuke" should be slightly bigger, at least visually.

[@removed7331]

It's a tactical nuke, they're a lot smaller than what most people think of when it comes to nuclear weapons, but still do significant damage. They also don't have the issue of fallout.

[@Shock255]

@@removed7331 I know its tactical, but wouldn't it be more fun to watch if its visuals were bigger? it's a game after all.

[@dhammanunthd.4387]

Yeah, and the fireball could be improved a bit. Looks a bit too much like cotton candy.

[@bakagg757]

@@Shock255 this is actually a problem with WARNO, as the damage from bombs and arty is a lot smaller than their effects would suggest, which can be quite misleading

[@kaiserew2510]

How do you guide your troops like that at 4:55

[@ragnoxis05]

Hold left shift as you give them movment commands. This works in most RTS games.

[@kaiserew2510]

@ Thank you, this is my first RTS game btw.

[@Kaldosthesergal]

It would’ve been fun to play if the servers worked lol

[@nuster7816]

This game is already so awesome to play. If they go into EA now i would buy it because even the beta before was easily playable

[@tohafi]

The green scout supply was baller 🤣

[@RogerValor]

I can see a lot of potential in the concept, but IMHO it does not satisfy that feeling of sneaking a small infantry unit through forests to prep an ambush, and that natural frontline feeling, somehow, all these games are just a worse form of Wargame, but add a lot of features, that Wargame would have needed, like matchmaking for 10vs10, rangefinder, or unit customizations. To me, even eugen seems not to be able to recreate the most magic part of Wargame again in Warno, or Steel Division, all these games feel more guard-railed, while you can see people playing mudfight now for 10 years. Still, I think this will be a good step to iterate over this slowly truly becoming a sub-genre of RTS

[@captainbroady]

It's also pretty unbalanced and honestly the vibes aren't there like when I played Wargame or World in Conflict. The UI is also pretty messy and I think the game is trying to accommodate every aspect from World in Conflict and Wargame but that's where it becomes somewhat mediocre.

[@NicoNolden]

Great content. Thanks. Looking at the phases I think a game mode would be great, where the flag points shift from phase to phase. So players have to react and redistribute or even redeploy their armies.

[@carlosavena6376]

Oh boy.... this weekend is going to be quite interesting! Broken Arrow Open Beta, Sea Power has been relapsed. So many good games, so few time to spend on them!

[@kspectre21]

The graphical appeal of this game in unmatched in terms of this style of RTS imo. Just that opening with all the missiles and then the transport aircraft flying through the middle to make their drops was such an awesome sight. The Nukes have also got a great effect, especially the flash across the whole screen as it detonates. I also really like that you have a chance to rescue your downed pilots too, nice little touch instead of them just disappearing into the void.

[@keggerken4190]

Man, I really want to try this game and get into it, but I'm super nervous though. I just can't keep up with RTS games anymore.

[@orangeops8875]

The opening air battle and the chopper enemy runs were pretty cool. Could you do an air cavalry video?

Excited can’t wait for the PvE! ( PvP is fun but bot stomp better :) )

[@jordanpohl6856]

@VulcanHDGaming why don't you use the g command on some of your vehichles to hit units in smoke. I find shorad and auto cannons do some serious work like that.

[@supernova7028]

[@artemkovalenko2999]

FINALLY! 🎉🎉🎉

[@codymcclain846]

I’ve been so excited for this ever since the single player demo. I’m mainly a solo player. But I am obsessed with military strategy. This looks much better than warno. Warno was just sooooo sped up and fast paced. It takes a certain mood for me to get into. I did love the army general campaign. It would be cool if this had something similar. With a strategic map. But I personally like the slower pace of broken Arrow. Not the quick twitch click fest warno turns into for me. Granted I just suck at that game lol.

There isn't no, I think the system they have is fine. Just needs to be a bit more coherent.
