Played the demo, and since I played terminator i will compare it with that

The good
>infantry uses trees, cars, everything as cover now, so their survivability is higher
>morale, suppression and stamina finally were added
>supposedly, infantry can carry different caliber same type weapons, so 5.45 and 7.62 at same time is supposedly possible.
>missions have an i sign spread which you can click to read about the events in slightly more detail regarding the local region
>vehicles have a chance to explode now on fire if they have ammunition/supplies (even if used up)
>mortar fire becomes more accurate if unit that has vision over area is a spotter (don’t know how to check that)
>same composer Edlise
The bad
>no encyclopedia to read about units or their stats
>no tutorial which teaches you mechanics, especially bad for a complete newbie to the warfare series or to explain in detail the new mechanics
The ugly
>same warfare engine, so shitty path finding, non optimal use of windows by infantry in buildings, no tube grenade launchers for rifles
>infantry does not use building exterior as cover, so they won’t peak out the corner
>missions are full of bullshit moments, but this is the series standard now. The command unit rushing to enemy position and dying because its full of Ukrs thus giving you a game over is a classic Cats who play mission design philosophy.

Its pretty raw at the moment, let the Rusbros playtest it before Steamchads will get their taste of the patched version.

>>2353032 (OP)
Looks good but no steam, no buy

Good thing honestly, I was worried out of touch bureaucrats were gonna mandate that the game be made easy.

>>2353108
>ugh they totally won at hostomel
Took full control of the airfield and not just outskirts only after the ground forces arrived but by that point it was made useless for any sort of air corridor,

>ugh the advance in Kiev and Irpin got fucked up sure
Those endless tank columns just standing there, menacingly, no, just standing, and doing nothing, god

Something tells me that you can't make much content with just the Hostomel, are they going to make up alt-history, well more than they already prolly did with using only RU accounts to not get gulagd. Or will they show how the elite VDV units which partook in Hostomel's gesture of goodwill, were later used in quite pointless human-wave tactics during the countless assaults of the ruin that used to be Bakhmut

>>2353179
You will be happy to know all of their games are designed and balanced on realistic difficulty

stream with dev around the new game with gameplay

>>2353189
Watched about half, here are some key points
>no tutorials/ encyclopedia/achievements because deadlines + they were expecting mostly series vets on first days to buy the game. When/if steam version is released, they will be added, along with achievements and ironman mode.
>Bucha map was made, but after a month they couldn't get it to make fun
>got a lot of criticism for 6th mission which according to soldier vets is exactly how things went down, but was simply not fun for players.
>steam version build was submitted, they are waiting for moderation to green light it
>2000 copies sold in first day, but they are happy with the result considering very limited release and taking into account their experience with Syrian warfare. Team was thinking they'd get 1000 copies in first week since vkplay is unpopular and gets 5-15% from Ru region compared to steam Ru region according to other companies' experience

>Russian gamedevs have to make shitty propaganda games to not get drafted into the trenches of Donetsk Oblast
lol, lmao even

>>2353224
They have been doing it... for free. Before this game there was a Syrian Warfare from the same devs made in 2016-2017 (!!!), with you basically playing as Wagner ain Syria. The real irony is that the first entry in the series was a game titled quite literally "Warfare" (2008) and it was about the US intervening in a civil war in Saudi Arabia. The devs went full circle from Ameriboos to Russian nationalists.

>>2353253
The Syrian Warfare game is on Steam, btw. I did not like it that much, it's way more hardcore than the original Warfare game.

>The devs went full circle from Ameriboos to Russian nationalists.
Happened to many Russians over the years, i wonder why

>>2353032 (OP)
like as if we're supposed to know what that Syrian warfare game is
fuck off hivan with your jank

>>2353179
>I was worried out of touch bureaucrats were gonna mandate that the game be made easy
they kinda did. The game was supposed to have morale system iirc, but I might be wrong

>>2353438
>escort mission to protect the commander's cargo (looted toilets)
Would've been kino

put that game on mega, i'm ain't clicking that shit nibba

meds, therapy, touch grass, get a gf and so on

It's crazy how consequential this engagement ended up being. This one battle arguably saved Ukraine.

Airport gets taken, transports which were en route I believe would have immediately landed and unloaded, followed by heavy armor, followed by a relatively unchecked march to the capital.

I believe they had a unit of natl guard somewhere between the airport and the city but it would not have been enough to turn back the increasingly numerous troop and machinery being unloaded at Hostomel.

The details are fuzzy but there are some great breakdowns on YouTube on how it unfolded and how critical the outcome of this initial engagement became.

>>2354130
Basically the Russian plan was to size the airport with a heliborne assault, deploy and supply an armoured column via airbridge and use it to drive into and occupy Kyiv, bypassing the defenses along the northern front. Basically a repeat of the Nazi invasion of Crete.

Whether there was ever any hope of success is an open question. The troops available in the region possessed anti tank weapons and still active air defenses would have made the airbridge risky even with somewhere to land. Rather than a turning point it was just symbolic of the hubris of Russia's planners. They went it expecting basically no resistance and their plans didn't survive contact with a capable and resisting enemy.

>WTF WHY WON'T YOU SWALLOW MY STATE PROPAGANDA REEEEEE"
Tell me why I shouldn't play the game beyond:
>reeeee itsa russian game
Tell me what's wrong with it. Gameplay, map design, mission design etc.

>>2354478
I mean he told you why bucha wouldn't be fun.

>>2354130
>>2354430
ukrainians used hostomel airport as a trap, they only had light infantry there without much experience, pretty much local militia
russians dropped their most elite paratrooper unit without any support and proceeded to get shredded by artillery the moment they took positions
helicopters alone couldn't secure the landing zone
russians never expected ukrainians to sacrifice the airport and put a bunch of craters in it. It was worth it

Damn janny purged this thread hard

based zigger janny

>>2358956
He seems to have purged in equal measure

Steam release has been validated

Shame they didn't include the demo.

>>2359135
Demo will be there on release according to devs

>>2353032 (OP)
any links to a website i'll actually go on?

File: price scream.jpg (23 KB, 349x332)

Release the fucking demo already

>Making a propaganda game of an ongoing conflict
>About a battle that you lost
What the fuck? Am I missing something? Is this just extreme levels of cope?

>>2368236
the VDV was fed into Ukrainian machine guns as a goodwill gesture

I can not download in Moksva, no internet ))))

Tiresome dealing with you people.

>>2368284
>>withdraw due to overextension
sounds like a loss to me

>>2354430

I suspect that when the whole thing is over, the whole thing will come off as a much closer affair than we have let to believe.

>>2368236
The devs are self aware as one of the promo screenshots has a russian bmp column charging headlong into a ukrainian position entirely unsupported.

>>2368295

>>2368291
It's very common in warfare to win a battle and then give up the terrain for logistics reasons. I hate you zoomers who can only think of warfare like it's sportsball.

>>2368351
yeah they just dropped them on the airport for shits and giggles, achieved nothing through it but casualties and then they retreated for no reason
normal warfare stuff!

>>2368351
Except we're not talking about some useless piece of land, this is an airport, a strategic lynchpin. If you fail to secure it you have lost the battle.

>>2368354

It's typical of paratrooper operations. They are high risk high reward affairs. Historically, paratroopers either achieve strategic victories or get slaughtered.

>Syrian warfare will never be getting engine upgrades of gostomel heroes
>neither will terminator
>in fact, terminator is a fork of warfare engine and any additions from gostomel will have to be made from the ground up
>squads will never pick up 2 weapons
>cover from vehicles never ever
>cover from building exterior never ever
>VO call signs never ever, despite devs bragging about how all units have slightly different voices now for whatever the fuck reason, but an actually functional call sign system to differentiate between different weapons but same squad type is no go

I feel like I should quickly finish terminator before Gostomel releases because I know I won't go back to it once I am used to all of the new engine shit like infantry cover, morale, suppression and exhaustion.

>>2368236
>Is this just extreme levels of cope?
It is. Today a report was released stating that with the current tempo of operations, it will take 83 years of non-stop offensive warfare to take over Ukraine. Quite a stretch from the 3-day special military operation

>>2368418

This is not how wars work, anon. Realistically without western support, Ukraine would have felt by the first year.

Demo is out

>>2368284
How can Russia proclaim victory if they didn't achieve their goal? Or do you only care about tactical victory rather than strategic

>>2368478
Do you actually think Ukraine is winning?

>>2368423
Realistically Ukraine does have western support though and will not fall in one year or two or apparently even 83.
Realistically if Russia wasn't a county of rabid subhuman vatniggers there would be no war at all. There still isn't any point to it. They would never be allowed to join NATO or the EU, but now after they were invaded and genocided for no reason, they're on fast track to join both. Incredibly funny and ironic

>>2368493
Answer the question: How can Russia proclaim victory if they didn't achieve their goal?

It's amazing how funny this war has been. Russians and Russian-worshipping retards need to constantly find new cope for why Russia can't beat their small-ass neighbor for 4 years now.

>>2368493
No, neither side is winning, and that's the absolute best thing that could have happened to every single other country in the region. Kacaps and hahols slaughtering each other is peak.

>>2368514
>neither side is winning
usually people call this the defender winning

>>2368509
Ukraine has our thoughts and prayers while they do the actual dying. The moment westerners have to put their lives down the anti war protests begin

Has anyone actually tried the demo? How is it? I won't be able to try it until evening.

>>2368531
If only Prigozhyn had balls... Putin ran from Moscow with his tail between his legs. The tsar is naked, the moment russia actually tries war against NATO, they will unknowingly initiate their own balkanization process. Can't wait for it

>>2368541
I hear that it might be happening in two more weeks
