- I will only have time for one round during the Iwo Jima playtest and of course this one match was a night map arghhhh :D They improved the performance a lot but I had a few crashes. Well because of my shift times I probably won't be able to play a second one but nevermind it was fun. UA-cam doesn't like gamma games but I had to increase the gamma value a bit so that you can see something. So, on some monitors it can cause graphic errors :)
Lots of aggression from everyone in this match. Must be the Sake !
@@louisavondart9178 Yeah, maybe we were a little too drunk haha
@@Tiger01 Sake is just water with flavor for a Japanese soldier :D
@@samualjackson4704 alcohol is water actually...
I have to honestly say this was the best Squad 44 Pacific video I've seen so far, I mean your last machine gun video was also very good but this one is very exciting to watch, just pure art, keep it up!
Thanks mate :)
This was incredible to watch mate. Your bolt action skills are justt awesome and Iwo Jima looks awesome too!
Thanks, yeah i really like this map! I like that it is so big and has many areas with different environments, sometimes tunnels, sometimes wide areas and even a kind of city battle on the airfield, which is really very varied :)
@@Tiger01 I just played offensive and it was very varied. I think the developers did an excellent job with this Iwo Jima and the performance was also very decent.
Nice video :D The start was like stumbling from one (cartoony) adventure into the next one: placing tnt on one tank, turning around & literally jumping into an enemy fob, being killed by another tank
Thank you very much, glad you liked it :)
Finally someone who uses the real compass.
💪
Fun game. One thing accuracy-wise, those flamethrower packs don't explode when hit. They were self-sealing. The green grass on the rolling hills is weird too. Iwo Jima was invaded in the winter. And it was actually cold there and the grass was brown. Add in how many times the island was bombed by B24s and B29s before the invasion. But, they got most things right. Thats what counts.
I was also surprised about the green grass, but overall they have created a fantastic map, I have to say :)
Probably. I mean the devs specifically mentioned that most depictions of Iwo Jima have it as a desolate wasteland but they said that they added the foliage on purpose because apparently according to their research lots of the island was very green and lush. So I have no clue if it’s accurate or not.
@@BuddySpike101 I mean these days the island is also green but due to the constant bombardment the island looked like it was on mars but I don't know exactly what it looked like as a whole or whether there were still green areas back then :)
Have quite a bit of experience in hardcore shooters over the years, including Squad, but somehow never heard of this until today. This looks incredible.
@@brendenh9461 Squad 44 is Squad's little brother and it takes place during the Second World War ;)
@@Tiger01 I thought Hell Let Loose was that
@@frodobaggins9752 Squad 44 is owned and deved by OWI (of Squad fame).
This game was previously known as Post Scriptum.
Diese besondere Einleitung, mit dem Sake, gefällt mir sehr.
Vor dem historischen Hintergrund des Spiels ist diese Einleitung tragisch.
Ich ziehe meinen Hut vor den Kriegern der Geschichte.
Nicht deren politische Motivation, Nein, aber die Leistung sollte man anerkennen.
Gut gespielt Tiger 🫡
Danke ;)
Johnny-on-the-spot with the anti-tank holy shit lol
@@fordtelf1215 Yes sir ;)
I wish we could get Burma campaign with M3 lee tanks, that would be awesome!
@@tedarcher9120 Would be cool ;)
I like this game so much better than HLL. I just wish it had a higher player base. Most of the time '44 only has a couple of populated servers with dozens of people ahead in the que.
Personally I think Squad 44 is better but you can also have fun in HLL. The learning curve is significantly harder in Squad 44 and overall it is much more hardcore than HLL, many like it easy and just want a little attention. They don't care whether it is historically correct or not. I think that's why HLL is more successful than Squad 44.
@@Tiger01 HLL is a fun run 'n' gun game. I play it when I feel the needs for some instant action. Post Scriptum/Squad 44 is definitely a milsim experience and thus doesn't appeal to most console gamers. This is why HLL has the large console player base and S44 will likely always be PC only.
You know how many people I’ve seen call this a dead game? Enough to fill a server by themselves
@@HighDiver5555 It's weird how _personal_ HLL fans make this. S44 players happily tell everyone both games are fun and have their strengths. HLL players refuse to do the same. For them it's all or nothing. You either love HLL - and _only_ HLL - or you are *THE ENEMY!*
@ yeah, I don’t understand. Soon we’ll have people on the internet defending brainrot content like it’s good or something
Yo XD
I love this
@@OperatorJackYT ✌️
People say arma reforger is realsitic but im like, Squad 44 is hands down more realistic.
Both games are pretty hardcore ;)
foxhole is more realistic than both these games xD Outside of top down view of course xD
@funtecstudiovideos4102 How is foxhole more realistic?
@@Slash766 It have actuall logistic, every gun matters, every battle affect global war.
Tanks and trucks dont spawn out of nowhere.
There are rescources you fight over as well. With first person and mechanics from Arma it would be most realistic war simulator on market
Games like Squad and Hell Let loose are basically battlefield on hardcore with little bit of arcade logistics,bigger maps and hopefully communication. Well and with static buildings
@funtecstudiovideos4102 Yeah… but I think Squad and arma are meant to be centered around specific battles, not an entire war. You’re still worried about casualties in these games due to the ticket system. If both franchises were meant to be war focused, then I would complain about tanks appearing out of nowhere, but there’s really no other way to do it
Battle on planet mars
: D
to die for the emperor is to live forever
Tenno heika banzaiii 🇯🇵
When im over run in arma reforger i always hell TENNOHEIKA BANZAI!!! and frag myself. The terror screams are hillarious
@@tiredredneck8159 ;D
This was like watching an action movie. Is there an exact release date now? Unfortunately I couldn't take part in the playtest and can't wait to play Iwo Jima myself because I played a lot of Red Orchestra back then. i am hyped :D
Unfortunately there is still no official release date but it won't be long, I'm sure ;)
Play test was extended until the end of this weekend
@@Tiger01 Hope you are right mate :)
12:24 you can actually shoot the gas tank from the flamethrower and it will explode? This is a very cool feature
Yeah, i was surprised too haha
My great grandpa Joe. Sgt. Holstein fought the japanese in the 25th tropic lightning division. I never got to meet them, but my dad told me the war made him come back cold and distant.
Good stuff!
Thanks ;)
Hoffentlich kriegt das spiel mal die kurve. Wäre verdient!
Das hoffe ich auch ;)
if ONLY this game wouldn´t absolutely FRY THE LIVING DAYLIGHT out of my CPU and I would have at least 60 fps... I wouldnt play anything else.
Yeah, performance has always been a problem but I have to say that the performance is already much better than in the last test, hopefully they'll manage to generate even more fps when it comes out ;)
@ sure hope so
He’ll let loose?
@@shamanorlov been there, done that, I’m nearing lvl 300, and 2000 hours in HLL
Someone tell me why did this game flop
The publisher of a competing game "secretly" paid high profile gamer-influencers to go all in promoting that competing game while actively suppressing Post Scriptum. (They did this by not playing it, and deleting comments about it on their videos and banning people who posted those comments.) Post Scriptum stagnated because these content creators refused to play it and then development ended... only for the game to later be picked up by OWI who renamed it Squad 44. Not being a console game didn't help, since the competing game picked up hordes of young players who favor run 'n' gun over milsim. But S44 has been clawing back its player base and this IJ map has certainly raised the game's profile a lot.
@@drongobum2037 nailed it
@ Then I did everything wrong, so I didn't get any money from other developers or from the old Post Scriptum developers lol. Squad 44 has always had a small player base and it will stay that way because most people find this type of game too hardcore. The old developers hardly advertised Post Scriptum at all. Many people I played with recently told me that they had never heard of this game, even if they had played Squad several times. The fact that the learning curve is much more difficult to master than with other games makes most new players, especially players who like arcadey, stop playing straight away. Since OWI took over and finally invested a little more in advertising it has become a little more popular but one thing is for sure. Iwo Jima may initially increase the number of players but if more updates and maps don't come in a timely manner and get the performance problems under control, a lot of players also stop because the game is simply very poorly optimized and you can only achieve a low fps even with potent hardware. it will immediately go down again. The engine codec is also very outdated - everyone who works with the SDK knows what I mean. It must be a struggle because I also use the arma editor and I have to say I have never seen or worked with an editor that runs so poorly and is as complicated as the one from the unreal engine. I'm not surprised that the updates take so long. Nevertheless, Squad 44 or Post Scriptum is still one of my favorite hardcore shooters and I have been playing this game since the very first beta test and it has never really died and can be played every day if you want.
@@Tiger01 You and Vade and a few others kept this game alive on UA-cam while so many other content creators did what they could to kill it.
@@drongobum2037 I don’t understand why though? Why kill a game?
Geht das eigentlich auch mal auf Deutsch?
Keinen Deutschen gesehen beim Playtest
I hope they put this on console
S44 is a milsim. Console players overwhelmingly favor run 'n' gun, a la COD, etc. Odds are this will always be PC only, because that's where we milsim nerds are.
@@drongobum2037 People like you are old cringe lol, def a boomer
@@Ceraxy lulwut
Banzai ad
Too bad my FPS drops to 35-45 on full servers. Wish they would get it figured out.
I didn't have any fps drops but I did have a few crashes to destop
Massa demais
if this game wasnt so dead id play it so much
It’s not though. There’s servers active and some are overfull. Just filter by player count
@@HighDiver5555 it is dead lmao 40 players right now and peak yesterday was 100 so yes dead game
@@Llamabong Yesterdays peak was 800 players and there where several servers up if you want you can play almost every day!
@ nope 700 players and it fell to 180 players in 45 minutes
713, if you don't live in Asia you can still play it every day. We have it 10am in the US and EU prime times, you can play however you want every day! Things get a little more difficult in Asia. PS: Even an aisan server is full right now lol
Now THAT was very Kool & the Gang; I very much enjoyed watching this. I'm just waiting for VADE to play the Pacific Campaign now. Thaaaanks. 🪖
@@Frankithehat Thanks, I think he recently uploaded a pacific video, have fun watching it ;)
@@Tiger01 Thanks for the content Brother. I may not like EVERY game that you play but, I really do appreciate you. 🪖
