Iraq war vet here (2003 invasion)... Just wanted to say WOW that’s absolutely incredible and extremely immersive! Hearing the bullet cracks and other chaos simultaneously had me literally twitch just a hair with the first burst of fire cracking off, nearly missing the player as the bullets screamed by at supersonic speeds.

Brother it took me a while to get back into these kinds of games cause of the deep immersion of them, COD these kinds of games are not and thank god for that. I spent hours upon hours watching my sons play using it as a way to suppress some stuff I was still dealing with after mustering out. It's not much of an issue now but every once in awhile while playing they'll be that moment of "Holy shit that was close" and my reaction will kick in.

thank you SO SO SO MUCH for bringing back standardized roles! It might seem like reversing tech for some of you, but with a system like that everybody gets a chance to try out roles and arent gatekept by loading before anyone gets a chance to pick it. People can try the role, get their fill, and leave to a different role or quit if they are done playing while leaving the slot to be filled by someone who specifically wishes to fill that role. Which will both bring a lot more people who main important roles but also more availability for new players to try out different roles with ease.
Dude I remember YEARS ago I played a few games of Squad and decided to look thru the steam discussions and seen you advertising the channel and I've been here ever since. Game looks incredible already, you're doing something great here man!
I would advise them though that they need to have casual and not so skilled players people as part of the play test, as in...people who don't have much experience with tactical shooters, and/or aren't that good at playing with groups. Why? Because this will simulate what the actual experience will be, because let's face it...a lot of potential squad leaders aren't really leadership material, and a lot of the rank and file squaddies won't always listen to orders too. So, if the game can hold up well even for THOSE kind of players, then I think the game has a good chance at working out. If the game requires everyone to be hardcore for it to be playable as opposed to the mechanics enforcing proper behavior, then the game will fall apart.

3:15 animation looks cool but you don't need to check the feed pawls when you reload in the middle of a fire fight unless you really need to. Also, you don't want to lift the feed tray because a round might cook off. It will happen if you have been shooting a lot. Depending on the training of the country, you would lift the feed tray when before readying and when clearing. Lastly, some people will say to never hot load the weapon. That being the bolt fully to the rear.
@@austinriggs7017 The feed tray (the second, smaller tray the rounds sit on), not the top cover - like you said, you'd def. have to lift the top cover, but you generally wouldn't lift the feed tray for exactly the reason he explained.
@@austinriggs7017@Bennysouhst I think it would be cool if the manner in which you reloaded had a small effect on the chances of weapons malfunctions. Like you said, you’re not gonna check the feed pawls in the middle of a firefight but maybe a reload after the fight to top off, you would.
@@Markay40 maybe have an Alt+R thing for an extended reload with full checks and shit, that would be cool for like you said, right after a fight or when you're setting up for one. maybe have malfunction chance increase with the number of rounds fired without doing the checks.
I am usually a big criticizer when it comes to tactical shooters, but let me tell you that for a pre alpha, this is better than some final versions of "big" games out there. Outstanding work. Looking forward to play it!
@@biggie10101 There are experts at videogames? Just look at some of these other games many being AAA and they suck. Sounds aren't very in depth or researched at all. Constant reused animations, weapon models are low quality and inaccurate, gear is just some garbage thrown together by ignorant people who don't care about the details and obviously don't have a passion for the subject like Karmakut or many people that watch his channel and I can go on and on.
4:22 "Dynamic direction" I see what you did there. In all seriousness I loved the squad mod and all the little features that made it a unique and more team oriented game. The gameplay looks really good and I wish you and the team the best of luck!
I do miss the area objective DD added. The tiny building objectives don’t give a lot of room for strategic gameplay. You can choose when to rush , suppress, or defend because you’re still gaining points by holding a position in the zone.
@@Vikingr91 aight mb you right and everyone including the actual soldiers are wrong. Matter of fact your input has made me realise fortnite is the most realistic shooter after doom eternal
its like a combination of all of the key features from major games like squad or the arma series including parts from CQB games like ready or not. Cant wait to play for my self keep up the good work, super happy to see progress.
This looks great One key thing with the tourniquet When applying it You pull the strap as tight as possible and then stick it on the the loop And then you turn the windless Not like in the video where It is pulled and then just free hanging there while you turn the windless and then stick the Velcro together. If it is done like the video there is no tightening effect for the TQ as it the strap will simply got pulled out making the loop bigger
this is shaping up very nicely, kinda feels like what squad should have been, i would love to see doors and mechanics around them added to this, would add a whole new layer of tactical approch! loving is so far bro keep up the great work!
@British-v1h that would either mean switching channels on every death making the mechanic useless or it would be way over powered, the only way i could see it working would be a unrealistically low battery on picked up opfor radios and a cooldown on how often you can pick them up.
I love how this seems much more chaotic than most milsim/tactical shooting games. Reminds me of the kind of adrenaline rush one gets in a Hell Let Loose match. Nice work!
looks amazing. Just always remember to focus on the gameplay and making the objectives feel engaging. many "tactical shooters" that come out fail because they lack defined objectives and basic features. looks amazing so far tho
Really like the focus on immersive yet also beneficial features like your tac link and display on the watch with arma level info sharing, audio design seems pretty good and defined squad roles and comms is sounding great too, for a pre alpha from an indie team this is a really good start all around
Just throw this in the bag for later JTAC Class build a 5/9line right on the ATAK for Ai CAS direction TGT, in heading, and payload selection. Keep up the great work man loving what i am seeing so far
@@overlordproductions1 JTAC are specialised soldiers that attach to units and with the tech they have on them (like the chest mounted mini computer) they can liase with air assets and call in VERY accurate fire missions and use drone feeds live on the battlefield. They are essential soldiers who make sure that everyone is aware of where friendly units, enemy units and civilians are in the battle space. What the OP is saying is ti would be cool to have this class in the game who can just open up their ATAK and select a line on the map in which an Ai controlled plane would come in and provide close air support (CAS) and you could potentially choose from a list of CAS assets and choose their payloads for each situation.
@@TheStacato yes pretty much. However when referring to 5 lines and 9 lines, that’s just the formatting for a cas brief or a cca brief. Not an actual line on the map. And JTAC is a certification not a job
As a game developer myself, can you bring Foot positioning in the game? So whenever a player stance in a uneven foot position the foot elevates realistically to the uneven surface. And even in prone, if you can make this work it would be so much fun. And ofcourse bring gore man, that's what makes thing even more intense.
7:33 Just a quick tip for the grass that is floating, you can actually check a box on the details sections that i will allign with the ground. It's very easy to fix and all your details, stones, grass etc will be snapped to the ground. That's for Unity, i don't know which engine you are using tough.
It's called foot IK and they will probably make these improvements in the future. I'm guessing they are working on polishing the core animations first.
They actually just implemented this into a game i play called War Of Rights and im not sure how much it leans into accuracy mechanics, but it still makes things feel and look more immersive.
I want to know about the bullet details. I assume all bullets are projectiles and there aren't any hitscan weapons, given the goal of accuracy, but i also really want a game that properly captures how bullets hit terrain, buildings, and objects in the game. They kick up tons of dust, dirt, and debris in the real world. Not only that but i want a game with bullet impact sounds that really make you feel it when bullets strike nearby. I'm pretty sure I see some of this in the footage, but I'm definitely interested in more details.
I would love some actual realistic holo-sights. You know, where sight enclosure becomes transparent because of: 1. The far focus point of the aim dot 2. watching "through" it with both eyes Almost all games get this wrong, please bring in this detail!
Honestly, it'd be cool to see a persistent war mode like in Arma. The map is expanded to be larger, there are towns to capture (or lose), objectives to defend, and when one team controls the entire map (or a majority at a pre-designated date) the server will reset, and it'll go again. Of course, this mode probably won't happen. However, it'd be cool.
One detail I assume is not representative for final behaviour, is the machine gunner in the medical section at 0:59, standing right in the window n00bing his barrel out as a "Shoot me" flag.
The most important thing for me in recent war games is the sound of the weapons and the ambient sound (which are way too subdued). When you're in a firefight, you should feel every shot fired and every bullet that grazes you. In short, there should be really loud gunshots, with the sound of the weapons and the impacts of the bullets echoing. Or, when you're in a building and you shoot, you should be able to hear the difference with the walls, etc.
You know what would make your squad creation system next level? Make it so that squad leaders can "lock" certain roles to prevent them from being used. Also some kind of system that "prioritizes" specific roles upon SL's request would be sweet. Gone are the days of asking your squadmates to please switch to medic, or the marksman that refuses to listen because he wants that sweet 7.62x54r. After 1800 hours of squad, I still can't believe they haven't implemented something like this. You could be the first.
That doesn't seem to be the implementation they're going for. Since it's a realistic squad system, there is no choice for which roles people want inside of a squad/fireteam unlike 'Squad'. A full squad is going to have only certain roles, depending on which squad it is. If you want to be a marksman, one squad might have it but another won't, and that's rigidly built into the role selection; and based on the preview in the video, 1st-3rd squads seem to be copies (at least for US rangers). It should only ever be an issue if you don't have a full team.
@@thesovietwarbear4551 not to mention implementing a feature that lets sl's lock roles would literally lead to the problem squad has and thats "snipers are useless" get kicked which used to be a huge problem people hated when you played the marksman role so allowing players to lock roles would just lead to something being perma locked everyround if the player base finds it annoying or dislikes people using it personally i hate squads "squad system" because sl's would kick people using certain roles or 15 mins into the match your sl throws a hissy fit and starts kicking people or disbands the squad and now you got 9 guys out in the field with standard iron sighted m4's and a single mag
@rigormortis3219 What they could do is have Squads be locked depending on team size. So if 1-1 is slotted, 1-2 opens up, if that one is slotted 1-3 opens up... That way a team won't be fragmented across different squads and special roles cannot be sniped until that squad is open. In case a group of friends wants to join a squad but there aren't enough free slots they should be able to "pre slot" a locked squad. If there are more pre-slots than open slots, it will automatically open the squad for that group.
as a recent vet this is the most realistic milsim i've seen yet for the typical infantry experience. the mechanics look superb. inspecting the springs on the feed tray cover when reloading the saw is such attention to detail plus the EUDs too
that was a reload animation? God its aweful..I thought it was clearing a jam which would look cool on it, but for a reload animation it looks like crap and is slow AF
Coming off of Bigfry's video about how boring and formulaic most tactical shooters are now, I hope the Bellum devs can take his points into consideration and create a world with a good story and writing that makes players care about the game world and their actions in it.
Watching the reload for the LMG - there needs to be a faster reload that doesn't check the chamber to make sure its clear. Increase chances of jams this way, but make it more viable for when you're being flanked heavily and outnumbered in tight areas. That long of a reload = death if you're being pinched. Side arm requirement for a lot of close quarters instances on reloads. Love ya Karma !
@@thecouchyeti or even an adrenaline mechanic where if your being shot at/enemies are within a certain range your reload time decreases but jams chance increases
@@oucho1187 jams seems to be too punishing to be implemented. I think it's good enough if reload checks can reduce your next reloads by ~10%-15% for maybe 2 minutes max.. That way it's rewarding and kinda realistic. Since irl no jams= less reload duration.
Looks sick Karma! the animations alone tell me that when this is done its going to be AMAZING! are you by any chance looking for audio engineers? ive been making sound effects and music for games for a few years now and would love to get involved if there is room to apply!
Just started the gameplay section. Detail looks awesome! Small thing I noticed up front though - the footsteps sfx are quick and the movement/sway of the gun is slow. Feels weird and super distracting for me. Small detail, but I figured I'd mention it. Might be a simple sfx adjustment. Can't wait for this dude!
Gameplay looks good so far. I like that there is a suppression mechanic, but I would like to see it used for friendly fire too. There are a few scenes where a friendly is firing right near someone else's head. This would have a stunning effect to the friendly who is near the muzzle. This stunning effect could also be used when firing inside. There is another scene where a belt fed fires out a window (past a friendly) and the muzzle is inside. This could have a stunning effect too. Nades and explosives (friendly and not-friendly) would stun/suppress equally to all parties. While I write this, I am thinking that there could be a stun mechanic and a "fear" supression mechanic for maximum immersion.
As someone who has been an AG, unless you are within touching distance of the dude shooting, there is no 'stunning effect'. The worst you get is gas in your eyes, and only that if you don't have eye-pro
Just as some feedback you need to bandage a wound that was packed or else your packing won’t effectively work. We either use gauze, coban, or adhesive bandages for this. The better way to pack is by using your index fingers: one to feed and the other to push into the wound. Only pack junctional wounds, meaning pelvic/groin wounds or shoulder wounds. Limb wounds don’t get packed since a tourniquet or pressure dressing is placeable.
Great update. Have you guys considered implementing a way to replicate how optics look when we shoot with both eyes open? Games always render them as if we're looking through one eye focused on the optic itself and it makes the housing so obstructive. It's something I rarely see in tactical shooters and I'd like to know if its something you guys considered.
for the love of god i hope they dont use real pip because that would lead to the problem both squad and tarkov share is that pip literally halves your fps theres ways to simulate pip without actually using it and i hope thats what they do because i hate going from 120fps down to 60-40 like you can see benchmarked on any game using pip on any level of graphics card to dont matter if its a 4080 or a 2070 and even if they use pip it still doesnt come close to how it looks using scopes irl or even in vr so id rather get frames than "barely realistic optics"
The problem with trying to translate this to games is you're already looking at the screen with both eyes open, so replicating that sort of double-vision effect on screen would probably be even more obstructive than just showing the optic housing in focus. Having the optic model go to like 40-50% opacity when aiming would probably be the best of both worlds
@@onestopgamechannel7846I play Squad on a GTX 1650 and they have really nice looking PiP optics that don’t half your framerate. Most likely because they lower the main screen’s resolution and hide it with a blur. It’s clearly not that hard to make a game optimized, Tarkov is definitely not the standard. PiP optics look much more realistic than just lowering the FOV.
You are looking at a screen with both eyes, this would be useless and stupid. What's next? Blinking? Its just a stupid as having motion blur and depth of field in fps games.
Unless you make deaths ultra-punishing, or healing ultra-rewarding i dont know how many people will be spending a whole minute and a half reviving their teammates.
The game looks really good Karmakut Proud of your work! i Know its the Alpha but the throwing grenade and character movement definetly need an overhaul! Keep up that work!
I'm definitely exited, but hopefully this channel doesn't turn into another bluedrake where the channel goes from making actual content to a whiny drama youtuber who constantly complains about things as a way to promote their barely playable game.
I'm not sure if you noticed that the tourniquet at 1:25 is applied incorrectly. The TQ needs to be tight before the windlass is tightened. In the video the TQ strap is left hanging then the windlass is tightened then the strap synched.
fuckin finallllly someone knows the most immersive part of a milsim is AUDIO, those cracks of rounds over head is *chef's kiss*
💯💯💯
Immersion is huge. I hope grenade fragments hit around the area. That's big.
the bullet snaps could be better but still an improvement over existing games
I'm also a big fan of audio
Insurgency sandstorm also has that
Not the first game to have it

@@austinriggs7017 The feed tray (the second, smaller tray the rounds sit on), not the top cover - like you said, you'd def. have to lift the top cover, but you generally wouldn't lift the feed tray for exactly the reason he explained.
@@BennySouthSt I misunderstood what he said there. Yep we’re all agreeing lmao
@@austinriggs7017@Bennysouhst I think it would be cool if the manner in which you reloaded had a small effect on the chances of weapons malfunctions. Like you said, you’re not gonna check the feed pawls in the middle of a firefight but maybe a reload after the fight to top off, you would.
@@Markay40 maybe have an Alt+R thing for an extended reload with full checks and shit, that would be cool for like you said, right after a fight or when you're setting up for one. maybe have malfunction chance increase with the number of rounds fired without doing the checks.
The good thing is, no cinematic trailer, just some gameplay. pls keep on developing
I am usually a big criticizer when it comes to tactical shooters, but let me tell you that for a pre alpha, this is better than some final versions of "big" games out there. Outstanding work. Looking forward to play it!
Ok expert
@@biggie10101 There are experts at videogames? Just look at some of these other games many being AAA and they suck. Sounds aren't very in depth or researched at all. Constant reused animations, weapon models are low quality and inaccurate, gear is just some garbage thrown together by ignorant people who don't care about the details and obviously don't have a passion for the subject like Karmakut or many people that watch his channel and I can go on and on.
Can't wait, it looks awesome!
You gotta latch the Velcro before you tighten the windlass on the tourniquet. Else it won’t get tight.
Kinda basic im afraid
Probs WIP on animation side
It's 100% not the full animation. It's just a rudimentary placeholder.
Literally unplayable
The irl medic in me cringed seeing that
4:22 "Dynamic direction" I see what you did there. In all seriousness I loved the squad mod and all the little features that made it a unique and more team oriented game.
The gameplay looks really good and I wish you and the team the best of luck!
I do miss the area objective DD added. The tiny building objectives don’t give a lot of room for strategic gameplay. You can choose when to rush , suppress, or defend because you’re still gaining points by holding a position in the zone.
Was just thinking to myself "will this be like DD?" right before he said that and my interest immediately doubled.
"I can't hear shit" is probably something every soldier has said at some point. Great Fucking job guys, keep it up
This looks ridiculously good
no it looks like shit
@@Vikingr91 aight mb you right and everyone including the actual soldiers are wrong. Matter of fact your input has made me realise fortnite is the most realistic shooter after doom eternal
@@Vikingr91 care to elaborate?
This was amazing, sir. Well done to you and your talented crew for creating a fun and authentic experience
ATAK implementation is probably the chefs kiss. As an LEO who uses this on the daily, love seeing it getting implemented into a game.
Its already in RON, but a more "strict" version.
As a garbage man I love seeing ATAK implemented
its like a combination of all of the key features from major games like squad or the arma series including parts from CQB games like ready or not. Cant wait to play for my self keep up the good work, super happy to see progress.
Jeez man this blew me away, ngl I was skeptical and worried this would just be a squad reskin but this is really sweet!
In my opinion, a squad reskin wouldn't be all that terrible with a few updates. Unfortunately, that's what we're getting next year
@@Skerra-kk6sm Steel Division bro. If theres ever servers that is.
@@TommyCubed global escalation.
hopfully this wont be another "operation doorstop" bust
this is an arma 3 reskin if anything, not squad (still great, tho)
Wow! This is looking great!! The attention to detail is awesome. Great job!!
This looks great
One key thing with the tourniquet
When applying it
You pull the strap as tight as possible and then stick it on the the loop
And then you turn the windless
Not like in the video where
It is pulled and then just free hanging there while you turn the windless and then stick the Velcro together.
If it is done like the video there is no tightening effect for the TQ as it the strap will simply got pulled out making the loop bigger
this is shaping up very nicely, kinda feels like what squad should have been, i would love to see doors and mechanics around them added to this, would add a whole new layer of tactical approch! loving is so far bro keep up the great work!
Man, seeing this makes me happy AF. I suggested it years ago if I had the money. Seeing you do this is awesome.
hope you've been well brother
@@karmakut Doing ok Karma. Been hanging. Hoping to rejion the clan after the New Year.
@@karmakutyou should add taking enemy radios which would mean they don’t know if your listening or not and you could collect intelligence off them
@British-v1h that would either mean switching channels on every death making the mechanic useless or it would be way over powered, the only way i could see it working would be a unrealistically low battery on picked up opfor radios and a cooldown on how often you can pick them up.
@ it wouldn’t be useless as militaries do this all the time which is why they use call signs and don’t give away information on the radios
I love how this seems much more chaotic than most milsim/tactical shooting games. Reminds me of the kind of adrenaline rush one gets in a Hell Let Loose match. Nice work!
The diegetic ui is awesome reminds me of Far Cry 2
This looks so good, can't wait to see where you guys take it.
looks amazing. Just always remember to focus on the gameplay and making the objectives feel engaging. many "tactical shooters" that come out fail because they lack defined objectives and basic features. looks amazing so far tho
Amen to the objective part!
this one looks like another one that will fail though
Really like the focus on immersive yet also beneficial features like your tac link and display on the watch with arma level info sharing, audio design seems pretty good and defined squad roles and comms is sounding great too, for a pre alpha from an indie team this is a really good start all around
Just throw this in the bag for later JTAC Class build a 5/9line right on the ATAK for Ai CAS direction TGT, in heading, and payload selection. Keep up the great work man loving what i am seeing so far
Yo implementation of cas/cca would be insane
I agree JTAC and/or FO would be sick
I feel I have just read a different language 😂
@@overlordproductions1 JTAC are specialised soldiers that attach to units and with the tech they have on them (like the chest mounted mini computer) they can liase with air assets and call in VERY accurate fire missions and use drone feeds live on the battlefield. They are essential soldiers who make sure that everyone is aware of where friendly units, enemy units and civilians are in the battle space.
What the OP is saying is ti would be cool to have this class in the game who can just open up their ATAK and select a line on the map in which an Ai controlled plane would come in and provide close air support (CAS) and you could potentially choose from a list of CAS assets and choose their payloads for each situation.
@@TheStacato yes pretty much. However when referring to 5 lines and 9 lines, that’s just the formatting for a cas brief or a cca brief. Not an actual line on the map. And JTAC is a certification not a job
The sound and the GUI is on point. So fun to see so many tactical shooters coming out now!
As a game developer myself, can you bring Foot positioning in the game? So whenever a player stance in a uneven foot position the foot elevates realistically to the uneven surface. And even in prone, if you can make this work it would be so much fun. And ofcourse bring gore man, that's what makes thing even more intense.
7:33 Just a quick tip for the grass that is floating, you can actually check a box on the details sections that i will allign with the ground. It's very easy to fix and all your details, stones, grass etc will be snapped to the ground. That's for Unity, i don't know which engine you are using tough.
It's called foot IK and they will probably make these improvements in the future. I'm guessing they are working on polishing the core animations first.
It's easy to implement
@Cluxiu It is, i got it in my game.
They actually just implemented this into a game i play called War Of Rights and im not sure how much it leans into accuracy mechanics, but it still makes things feel and look more immersive.
Fantastic work. Excited to see this out in the wild.
I want to know about the bullet details. I assume all bullets are projectiles and there aren't any hitscan weapons, given the goal of accuracy, but i also really want a game that properly captures how bullets hit terrain, buildings, and objects in the game. They kick up tons of dust, dirt, and debris in the real world. Not only that but i want a game with bullet impact sounds that really make you feel it when bullets strike nearby. I'm pretty sure I see some of this in the footage, but I'm definitely interested in more details.
Bloody grand job here. All these immersive features define a great game. Bravo! 👏
Looks really promising, it’s hard to get hyped for games nowadays but hopefully this turns out to be something great. Keep up the good work.
This looks awesome Karma! You guys are doing a great job and I'm excited to follow this project.
Amazing stuff as always Karmakut!
Man that was intense, incredible audio keep up the good work!
I would love some actual realistic holo-sights. You know, where sight enclosure becomes transparent because of:
1. The far focus point of the aim dot
2. watching "through" it with both eyes
Almost all games get this wrong, please bring in this detail!
Maybe that could be optional like blurred sights in Ghost Recon Wildlands if you ever played that.
EXACTLY
Man, you are saving the milsim community, we owe you, your team and your friends so much!
Can't wait to play Bellum, thanks Karma!
Honestly, it'd be cool to see a persistent war mode like in Arma. The map is expanded to be larger, there are towns to capture (or lose), objectives to defend, and when one team controls the entire map (or a majority at a pre-designated date) the server will reset, and it'll go again. Of course, this mode probably won't happen. However, it'd be cool.
One detail I assume is not representative for final behaviour, is the machine gunner in the medical section at 0:59, standing right in the window n00bing his barrel out as a "Shoot me" flag.
The most important thing for me in recent war games is the sound of the weapons and the ambient sound (which are way too subdued). When you're in a firefight, you should feel every shot fired and every bullet that grazes you. In short, there should be really loud gunshots, with the sound of the weapons and the impacts of the bullets echoing. Or, when you're in a building and you shoot, you should be able to hear the difference with the walls, etc.
excellent work, love to see this! this is an amazing amount of progress
You know what would make your squad creation system next level? Make it so that squad leaders can "lock" certain roles to prevent them from being used. Also some kind of system that "prioritizes" specific roles upon SL's request would be sweet. Gone are the days of asking your squadmates to please switch to medic, or the marksman that refuses to listen because he wants that sweet 7.62x54r. After 1800 hours of squad, I still can't believe they haven't implemented something like this. You could be the first.
That doesn't seem to be the implementation they're going for. Since it's a realistic squad system, there is no choice for which roles people want inside of a squad/fireteam unlike 'Squad'. A full squad is going to have only certain roles, depending on which squad it is. If you want to be a marksman, one squad might have it but another won't, and that's rigidly built into the role selection; and based on the preview in the video, 1st-3rd squads seem to be copies (at least for US rangers). It should only ever be an issue if you don't have a full team.
@@thesovietwarbear4551 not to mention implementing a feature that lets sl's lock roles would literally lead to the problem squad has and thats "snipers are useless" get kicked which used to be a huge problem people hated when you played the marksman role so allowing players to lock roles would just lead to something being perma locked everyround if the player base finds it annoying or dislikes people using it personally i hate squads "squad system" because sl's would kick people using certain roles or 15 mins into the match your sl throws a hissy fit and starts kicking people or disbands the squad and now you got 9 guys out in the field with standard iron sighted m4's and a single mag
@@thesovietwarbear4551 it should be if they are going for realism ….. everyone running around with a LMG etc would be ridiculous
After the first sentence, my first thought was: "this has to be a squad player"😂
@rigormortis3219 What they could do is have Squads be locked depending on team size.
So if 1-1 is slotted, 1-2 opens up, if that one is slotted 1-3 opens up...
That way a team won't be fragmented across different squads and special roles cannot be sniped until that squad is open.
In case a group of friends wants to join a squad but there aren't enough free slots they should be able to "pre slot" a locked squad. If there are more pre-slots than open slots, it will automatically open the squad for that group.
Wow!! Already Looks incredible. Best of luck with the game!!
Was looking for something new about your game yesterday. Noice timing.
Edit: Damn, that looks great. I wish I could play already.
Looking good guys! Fantastic work so far!
Idea to encourage team play, for the AW ammo the other squad members could carry a box or 2 for quick ammo replenish while not breaking realism 9:14
This looks fantastic, congrats!
Super sick so far. Love the supersonic cracks and the loudness of firefights that add realism. Let's have some actually good sound design for once
yessir i want to have to cut the game down a lot to avoid actual hearing damage
as a recent vet this is the most realistic milsim i've seen yet for the typical infantry experience. the mechanics look superb. inspecting the springs on the feed tray cover when reloading the saw is such attention to detail plus the EUDs too
As a saw gunner, that reload animation for the saw was perfect. Now the real question is….. do they jam 😂
And what about barrel swaps going full cyclic
that was a reload animation? God its aweful..I thought it was clearing a jam which would look cool on it, but for a reload animation it looks like crap and is slow AF
This looks amazing, hope to see some big maps and vehicle integration for some great antistazi gameplay. Love you KKut !!
Coming off of Bigfry's video about how boring and formulaic most tactical shooters are now, I hope the Bellum devs can take his points into consideration and create a world with a good story and writing that makes players care about the game world and their actions in it.
This is awesome! Great work to you and the team!
Them: Games can’t turn you on
Bellum: Hold my reload animation
Just put my headphones on and....umm...help? 🍆
Lot of stuff I’ve been wanting in a game for a while, nice work
03:55 anyone else notice whats infront of the bed?
"detail" and "personality" lol
Self care products?
R/kidsonyoutube ahh comment
Ayo
The pillow on the couch looks like a sphincter 😅
Looking awesome! Thank you for the update. I miss playing dynamic direction, looking forward to hopping into Bellum and getting shot in Highlands ;)
Watching the reload for the LMG - there needs to be a faster reload that doesn't check the chamber to make sure its clear. Increase chances of jams this way, but make it more viable for when you're being flanked heavily and outnumbered in tight areas. That long of a reload = death if you're being pinched. Side arm requirement for a lot of close quarters instances on reloads. Love ya Karma !
By faster reload, I mean an Alternative bonus way of reloading - a normal full reload vs a sped up version with higher chances of jams/malfunctions*
@@thecouchyeti or even an adrenaline mechanic where if your being shot at/enemies are within a certain range your reload time decreases but jams chance increases
@@oucho1187 jams seems to be too punishing to be implemented. I think it's good enough if reload checks can reduce your next reloads by ~10%-15% for maybe 2 minutes max..
That way it's rewarding and kinda realistic. Since irl no jams= less reload duration.
Looks fantastic. You are the perfect person to make this type of game. Cant wait to play it. o7
Looks sick Karma! the animations alone tell me that when this is done its going to be AMAZING! are you by any chance looking for audio engineers? ive been making sound effects and music for games for a few years now and would love to get involved if there is room to apply!
Awesome work to you and the team that you are apart of, props to all of you. Very excited for the finished product 🤝🫡💪
Just started the gameplay section. Detail looks awesome! Small thing I noticed up front though - the footsteps sfx are quick and the movement/sway of the gun is slow. Feels weird and super distracting for me. Small detail, but I figured I'd mention it. Might be a simple sfx adjustment. Can't wait for this dude!
Gameplay looks good so far. I like that there is a suppression mechanic, but I would like to see it used for friendly fire too. There are a few scenes where a friendly is firing right near someone else's head. This would have a stunning effect to the friendly who is near the muzzle. This stunning effect could also be used when firing inside. There is another scene where a belt fed fires out a window (past a friendly) and the muzzle is inside. This could have a stunning effect too. Nades and explosives (friendly and not-friendly) would stun/suppress equally to all parties. While I write this, I am thinking that there could be a stun mechanic and a "fear" supression mechanic for maximum immersion.
Would that not be negated from helmets and ear pro?
As someone who has been an AG, unless you are within touching distance of the dude shooting, there is no 'stunning effect'. The worst you get is gas in your eyes, and only that if you don't have eye-pro
Dude this looks amazing . Cannot wait to check it out.
New realistic tactical shooter born for the new year! Best of luck soldiers!
This looks amazing, can't wait to see where you go with this :D
Awesome bro good to see a player making a milsim game truly for the players
Just as some feedback you need to bandage a wound that was packed or else your packing won’t effectively work. We either use gauze, coban, or adhesive bandages for this. The better way to pack is by using your index fingers: one to feed and the other to push into the wound. Only pack junctional wounds, meaning pelvic/groin wounds or shoulder wounds. Limb wounds don’t get packed since a tourniquet or pressure dressing is placeable.
6:11 are you holding the rifle funny for the reticle to be off center like that?
Looke just bugged
The mount is slightly offset, so this might be intentional to keep the reticle aligned with the gun. That said, it bugs me a lot.
So much YES! This looks great!
Great update. Have you guys considered implementing a way to replicate how optics look when we shoot with both eyes open? Games always render them as if we're looking through one eye focused on the optic itself and it makes the housing so obstructive. It's something I rarely see in tactical shooters and I'd like to know if its something you guys considered.
for the love of god i hope they dont use real pip because that would lead to the problem both squad and tarkov share is that pip literally halves your fps theres ways to simulate pip without actually using it and i hope thats what they do because i hate going from 120fps down to 60-40 like you can see benchmarked on any game using pip on any level of graphics card to dont matter if its a 4080 or a 2070 and even if they use pip it still doesnt come close to how it looks using scopes irl or even in vr so id rather get frames than "barely realistic optics"
The problem with trying to translate this to games is you're already looking at the screen with both eyes open, so replicating that sort of double-vision effect on screen would probably be even more obstructive than just showing the optic housing in focus. Having the optic model go to like 40-50% opacity when aiming would probably be the best of both worlds
@@onestopgamechannel7846I play Squad on a GTX 1650 and they have really nice looking PiP optics that don’t half your framerate. Most likely because they lower the main screen’s resolution and hide it with a blur.
It’s clearly not that hard to make a game optimized, Tarkov is definitely not the standard.
PiP optics look much more realistic than just lowering the FOV.
@@onestopgamechannel7846stop spreading misinformation
You are looking at a screen with both eyes, this would be useless and stupid. What's next? Blinking? Its just a stupid as having motion blur and depth of field in fps games.
Looks sooooo sick! Can’t wait to play this!!!!
Suggestion is to add a bit of screen shake and maybe black around the edges of your screen when firing givrd more immersion
