amazing

All I want is Squad Vietnam, a Splinter Cell game that was as good as Chaos Theory, and a true BFBC2 remaster - or a BF2 Modern Combat reboot on PC. It's cool that games are getting more and more realistic, I just miss when AAA devs had life behind their eyes
Vietnam related, I really fully enjoy 'Medal of Honor, Rising Storm 2, Vietnam' I find the lack of hud, sometimes teamwork, and especially the terrifying sound design keeps bringing me back.
Operation harsh doorstop looks like it might be a classic BF2 style game
A SQUAD meets DCS World would be the ultimate epic milsim. Maybe one day....
Squad Vietnam would be SICKKKKK
There is a Vietnam total conversion mod in the works for squad right now
good to see more people coming to this genre. Shows how badly AAA devs are fucking up their hyped games, leading to people flocking to higher quality games. :)
I was going to comment this
that profile picture is worring
You better change your profile picture!
@@MrStian78 Whats his profilepicture?
Guys Z has been around far longer than this invasion, plus it fits his name so I assume it doesn't mean anything other than that
There’s 2 reasons why your channel is popping up now. 1, because the milsim games are becoming more popular and 2, (the main reason) your content is fucking sick and fun to watch
true dat
3, there is a full blown war being live streamed right now.
true!
And Russia
Of course it's because of Ukraine, I've just watched this video because there's a BMP in it
I recently just got squad. I play a lot with my brother and made new friends in the Australian Squad community.
I was introduced to this amazing game genre from first insurgency, now squad, because of you!
You’re vids are so engaging and encapsulating. They make the hardest and in-depth video games palatable and make it look like a chill time to just chill with mates.
Thanks all to you and keep up the great work, Drewski.
Bmp1 is extremely rewarding. It's a ambush predator and once you learn the good spots to park it the thing is a beast. Park it at gas station at al Basrah, put some barrels in front of it and keep it on a repair station, and you can control the middle points very easily. You can see everything to the airfield and the tows don't cost a lot to rearm.
I'd say Putin's "Special military operation" is one reason for more players
This x100. For Ukrainians, it's a tragedy, for the rest of the world, it's spectacle. We as humans have the draw to things that kill us. And the horrifying thrill of combat is something that few truly get to experience.
Games like Tarkov and Squad do a decent job of attempting to simulate what tiny pieces of metal flying at your face is like. And I think that's a good thing! Like I've said in the past, I'm vehemently anti-war. But I fucking love FPS games because there's no consequence to your actions in games. There's real life consequences if you shoot a real person.
@@justdakotamusic Yeah I also hate conflicts and especially ones that happen in a neighbouring country bit I got the urge to play mil sim games again
@@justdakotamusic I don't think it;s just spectacle but also frustration. Military sims and strategy games (e.g. Wargame RD) provide a power fantasy where you have agency, as opposed to real world news, where that agency is very limited to most of us.
@@eypandabear7483 Yep, for me it's frustration and this creeping anxiety. I live 50 km from border with Ukraine. Started playing BF4 again after a long time.
It started before that.
I'd love for a developer to take on making a milsim of the Korean War.
That would be interesting
As long as we can have the choice to play as the good guys
I was gonna make a squad mod for that, but Steel Division is taking a lot of time from me
@@lolifico_banzago What do you mean by that?
@@marcusborderlands6177 he means the glorious democratic people’s republic of true Korea? What else would he mean you traitor?
Milsim veteran players: "What brings you here to this remote sanctuary?"
New normie recruit: "Unfortunately the war."
More like BF2042
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 Nah, it is definitely because of the current conflict. I'm just waiting for MSM to freak about this fact and try to gaslight military shooters again like they did a number of years back. "How dare these young adults and kids play games with such disregard to soldiers and veterans."
Just give it time.
@@ZealousFoX23 oh just wait for another trailer for Six Days In Fallujah, or if we're in another *loosens collar* hot summer, wait for the next Ready or Not update
There’s no war here unless you brought it with u
@Bingo and so is you getting f*cked by a dog. It’s fun to watch from afar but you get a closer look it’s disgusting and you’ll wanna elect someone just to stop that from happening
The Playground is a great server indeed, hope to meet you there Sergeant Drewski!
I would say there are 3 reasons for this boost:
1. The war in Ukraine
2. Special military operation in Ukraine
3. Invasion of Ukraine
Don't forget Russo Ukraine war/conflict
Don't forget hunter biden laptop.
or maybe just happens to just happen withouy any reason needed. Change is constant
@@haikalhadzik7744 😂😂😂 truth bombs. most prob wont even comprehend your comment the sheeple to distracted lol
12:55 that screech was pure joy
"I dont know why its blowing up so-"
Literally ukraine my guy. Nothing else.
I don't understand why people have such a hard time accepting that.
I just recently got into the milsim genre and the reason behind it is your channel. It started with finding out your amazingly crafted S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series and then your EFT games which has now translated into me finding out I absolutely love your content and most of the games I see here. I play squad, DCS, EFT, and Insurgency Sandstorm cause I loved watching you play them.
0:35 um yeah I am on a DCS binge rn so I might be contributing to that
I think part of the reason "MILSIM" is blowing up is because of channels like yours and Karma, GrowlingSidewinder, DDG, and other gamers branching out into the genre like Tomographic and JackFrags. You guys produce such entertaining content, and there's a wide variety of games within the genre itself that keeps it fresh. With the lacklustre releases of 2042 and Vanguard and people tiring of Warzone hackers, there's a massive amount of gamers searching for new FPS titles, and content creators as well. Those guys, like the ones listed above, that have tried these games and produced content about them have brought an entire new audience, that have looked for more content like it and found channels like this one already established in the tactical scene. I think the release of IS on console is also big
Can't forget GLID Gaming
Another point is the games themselves provide good content. Milsim games by definition are about action, explosions, teamwork/coordination, etc. All of these games (Squad, Tarkov, Arma 3, DCS World, etc, etc) are just pure fun to play. The game designs are all wonderful which means it's hard to make boring content to begin with. Then you add the content creation talent of youtubers (such as the ones you mention) and it's a win/win.
people hack in squad too.
Oooh, this match. I was surprised we held the 2nd point that long. Was setting up defense on 3rd😂
Didn't even know you played on The Playground server, but that's actually one of my top favorites. There's at least a good handful of people that know what they're doing on there any time you pop in for a match.
Ive seen so many squad videos, I tried playing it myself and there should be a disclaimer that its an actual horror game. Most intense and most stressful game Ive played so far as I can remember. Its so damn loud and scary
So true, walking around in the forest with the trees shooting at you while you try to find the ghost soldiers.
I see you've never played Tarkov
@@doomboygammer6009 and there is alwase that one guy who kills the whole team 20 times and no one can find him
Definitely not scary if you want a scary game play Tarkov
@@randomclipsmilitary9056 but have you played warthunder night battles before they added flares and without NVGs? Driving around in the dark chasing gunshots and engine sounds, tension building as it gets closer and closer and suddenly your tank explodes. Never thought I'd jump scared by a tank game.
I really like watching these ground vehicle videos, you should do more of em
I really enjoy this content, the collaboration between players makes it so nice. The variety of weapon systems Drewski uses is always fun to see as well. Enjoying the content immensely.
BMP still to this day my fav vehicle, also miss the eastern militia faction so much so much fun playing as them. (Moved to a cabin in the woods so no internet just arma DRO and DCO situations)
this is by far one of my favorite videos on your channel, i want to do this on squad so bad but i cant get squad due to my terrible setup, so please more of these!
I played a few hours of squad then stopped then I started watching your DCS videos that got me to your Squad videos a few months back and now I play Squad all the time.
Man the music really just pulls it all together. Especially in the beginning
Of course we are, WWIII about to kick off, gotta get the public ready (similarly at least)
WW3 isn't similar to SQUAD (CoD or even BF would be closer).
@@nashobaosef6578 are you on crack bro?
19:30 god, the sounds are so good I keep thinking that there's sounds in my room
It's content creators like yourself that generate interest in these games. I wouldn't have even heard of or had any interest in playing many of these milsim/tactical shooter games if not for guys like you, Karmakut, Nano, Squidders etc.
Even my small,20 or so person per op,arma community is growing - although I'm still stuck with the same 3 people that actually attend ops,being in the tank platoon.
The BMP-1 houses the same cannon as the SPG-9, and the rounds are actually quite similar to RPG-7 rounds
This guys content is legit legendary this guy and legacykilla and falcon are the best
The Playground server queues after this video 📈
Deffo is because the current real ukraine and ruissia war. I have 1k hours on squad but didnt play for 8+ months, after watching some of the clips of real combat against the Russians it put that combat vibes in my head and im back to playing squad again. I also been playing some war thunder tank gameplay again. I think it feels weird to say because you watching real people die and fight so you feel weird saying "I want to play a video game because of it" But its deffo a big part im sure lol
Yeah it’s a weird feeling. As long as we can keep the two separate and not make light of/game-ify the real thing I think it should be okay, like psychologically speaking. Real combat is fucking terrifying and disgusting and sad. Squad combat is fun.
Seeing those team rosters at the end screen, those just felt like the old school xbox live IGN's I grew up with. really hit the flash back hard.
That replay is nice to see. Good to know it's being used well for your videos
yeah bro I hit up EGC servers on squad pretty much every day, and they used to have an average queue of about 5-20 at peak hours. Now they average atleast 30 :D
Yes yes! More squad!!!
17:11 lol you can see his shadow on the rock through the vehicle.
I think more players are coming to the Milsim genre because of what's happening in the real world right now. Games like Squad can definitely somewhat cater to people who take interest in what's going on outside of video games.
squad is on such another level. so interesting to watch
So happy whenever I see Drewski upload
Damn, some nice driving, and accurate callouts! Looked like you guys had a ton of fun!
I think you and karmakut just got lucky in the algorithm the previous year and scratched the itch of many gamers who have become apathetic with battlefield and cod
Undoubtedly you're channel is part of this boom. I never would have heard of the genre otherwise
treating this vic as a mobile mortar is really fun trying to kill target 1000m out extremely fun
I think Finland still has some BMP-1s kickin around. At the end of the day 1 1/2 lbs of TNT can still turn heads
On the older videos: you got blessed by the algorithm. Suddenly started getting recommended your old DCS videos after I watched some videos about Ukraine
I think the boom has something to do with how close the war is now.
Maybe they're just preparing for the inevitable
Those heat rounds look dope in the air
Militia is the best team. Love rolling with the Mosin lol
As footage is coming out on social media about real world wars using Soviet vehicles, these videos will be more popular. People have been amazed how much it is like the games
That LAV kill was god like. I have played this match up and got destroyed by LAV on range. they are hard to hit with slow missiles
O damn, the TPG name drop! (Not that it's ever been a secret)
Beyond excited for the Release of the Steel Division V3 this coming week
This is awesome. There is a paintball field down the road from my house that has an old bmp1 in it and it is really cool. Great vid keep it up.
Drewski, I back in 2007 I started to play CoD 4 and soon found out the hardcore servers. I loved it, because I was never a fan of long TTK. After some time Battlefield 3 came and I kept only playing hardcore. Same for BC2 and BF4. Then came Arma III, Tarkov, Insurgency Sandstorm. But I got so hyped when BF2042 was announced, excited to play it in hardcore mode. But with the fiasco, I finally gave Squad a go. It instantly is my favorite game.
What I think is happening right now is that a good amount of players were disappointed with the BF launch, players that enjoyed the Battlefield series in hardcore mode. So what can we do, other then go for the closest game out there? Arma III is too old, with bad graphics and bad optimization. So, IMO, Squad is Battlefield hardcore, but slow paced.
It'd be cool if the reload sequence for the Malyutka involved your character literally reaching out of the turret in first person.
If the game had interiors like in Arma then yeah that'd be awesome (and Arma Reforger has animations for interiors)
@@OperatorMax1993we really need that
Drewski upload! Ya love to see it.
“I don’t know why”
War is always glorified by those who have never seen it.
Finally an Australian server is doing MEE so I’ve jumped back into squad and im not disappointed at all
even drewski and his team mates could do wonders if you gave them a Potatoe
that bmp-1 is a legend thanks to you lol
Man watching these makes me wanna get into milsim so bad, but I’ve heard the stories of new players being crucified for not knowing how to play properly. Puts me off every time, but ima keep watching you Drewski, love the content
Not in Squad tho
Squad is new player friendly. Most servers state they are new player friendly
Squad has new player friendly servers, hell, playground is new player friendly. Just hop in a squad and ask any questions u got
I'm not sure about everyone else, but the whole Ukraine conflict sparked my interest again. I always watch you, but I've gone back to your DCS videos and even purchased a whole flight sim set up because of you!
I agree with the title, for about two months now most servers will be completely filled in squad. Pretty great to see but also annoying
Gotta train for the draft.
Im old and dont even play pc or console games. Hell i found you from watching your brother matt(demo). Now im running out of your old videos to watch. You make great content and have lots of good friends around you online. Karma, jamu, avvy. Great ish man, keep at it. Also i think i only have a few dozen left till ive watched all your vids, so now you gotta make more and faster. No pressure.
17:52 Aaah yes, the American drive-thru maneuver
I watched the F16 video like 20 times and I think that's why your views are increasing the quality of the content is epic. And idk why im saying this but i've send you a friend request on discord back in 2020 lol but yeah if you see this have a nice day!
i really like the Battlefield bad company 2 audio in you're older videos
If you want a real milsim, you should try Battlefield Heros, I hear it's pretty realistic...
You should try Ukraine, it's REALLY realistic.
@@LongTran-em6hc too soon
Can I play as the heckin' ghost of kiev?
@@yakivpopavich no that is way too OP
12:21 Why did you think he's going to stop ?
Its because of hell let loose. It went viral and brought tons of new players to the genre.
I was getting YT recommendations of Squad gameplay after looking up the Javelin and NLAW
People are finally realizing the fun and sense of accomplishment you can get in one big package that is milsim games. You'll meet some of the dumbest, most memorable people that are hilarious and yet still play well when the time comes
referring to the question in the beginning, as a sociologist I've learnt that it might be related to people staying at home after covid lockdowns because they prefer now to "enjoy" gaming or watching tv with buddies instead of going out and hanging out with buddies; commodity and other reasons.
if this is similar to your case, y'all gotta try to at least take a walk somewhere and avoid staying at home all the time 💪
I believe he's meaning the present. I feel like games popped 2 years ago when covid started. He's curious why it's popular in the past couple months?
@@cameroncrider6970 yeah, me too. People have changed their hobbies because of covid. But yeah, there might have been an increase recently I don't know of
I noticed there was a massive jump in the squad player base because most of the servers I play on are max que all the time
I wish squad had proximity chat were enemies can hear you speak in local, like insurgency.
I love the BMP-1. Such a shame I don't get to see it regularly
The audio in this game is so sick
That’s was fun. Good stuff!
This is an easy explanation, the community is preparing itself for WW3 (the real thing not the game)
- I’m seal and I approve this message
This is intense! I felt like I was part of the tank crew
Keep up the good work my guy!
Yeah. Yeah, we're in a milsim boom. A renaissance, if you will.
I wonder whyyyy would milsims be having a comeback
A real headscratcher
Drewski: I have no idea why milsim games are blowing up right now.
War in Ukraine: Am I a joke to you?
I hope people still treat this game like a simulator with all the new people
4 MINUETSSS AGOOO, Literally the earliest I'll ever see any video ever
I don't play DCS but I look forward to any of your DCS vids. Also watch TONS of Grim Reapers content. They're silly while still being knowledgeable and Supercap puts out like 1-2 videos a day it feels like so there's always something new. Honestly, I find DCS to be the most interesting and entertaining milsim to watch. Followed by Gran Turismo, then Squad. Appreciate your content bud, keep it up!
I've been wanting the game and now I can because I have a pc now.
Might need some help lol
Hi drewski just want to say I'm in love with your content, I need a milsim in my life and you might actually be the one to convert me to PC gaming :)
I hope dcs gains more popularity
Yess a new squad vid
Well it's because there's a war going on and we got bombarded by those news, we have daily updates of the situation and more footage than any war before so of course it will spark up the interest of those milsim fans
I think it has to do with FPS mainstays either being dead on arrival or just very samey. And the big success of Tarkov
So much people are playing SQUAD right now
All I could hear in my head was bone thungs n harmony crossroads song I'm my head while you planted that mine.
part of me wanted that sad ending of the vehicle just blowing up... :)
I guess the military type topics are blowing up everywhere because of the conflict, which would lead to these types of games getting more attention because algorithm.
