RO2 and RS(2) as well- its like (imo) the best parts of Call of Duty/Battlefield mixed with HLL/Squad to create fast games but not twitch shooter stuff imo
Glad it is back in development. I love the Red Orchestra series and Rising Storm 2. Just like Insurgency they strike a nice balance between realism and fun.
I love Cold War era games, it's a setting we don't see enough of IMO. It's just so easy to go WWII for the iconic weapons/vehicles and such, or modern for all the kitbashing weapons and such.
Looks cool, I played a lot of Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm, it's a fun series. They should have fun with it through expansions since it's a fictional 80's WW3 not historical. Do the globe hopping thing, set maps all over the world, the sky is the limit when you are dealing with a fictional plot versus real history like WW2/Vietnam. Imagine a Red Dawn esque expansion? How cool would that be?
I thought it was Total Conflict resistance at first. You shoul check that game out i played it like 50 hours straight after learning how to play it. You can make your own country and build your own military decide what standard rifle your country uses manage supplies for each army and fight in RTS mode while also being able to control individual soldiers in first person. Its a bit like civ mixed with bannerlord with modern military units.
@@thathalflatino I actually do believe this; Arma has too many keybinds but HLL on consoles works and this would require less keybinds even / its more casual/easygoing so who knows
@@Adam-i5h8f Probably not gonna happen considering RO2 tanks took HUGE amount of time to be properly modeled inside. But then again we're in 2024 now, so I would kinda expect interiors to be a thing regardless of vehicle type.
Seeing rs2 stop development and than 83 was devastating back when it happened. The dev team had so much momentum beforehand and it sucked to see them lose it. Hopefully it gets pushed out and I get to see what I've been waiting years for. I'd like to imagine things start back up on rs2 again but I think that ship sailed a couple years ago already.
i have a gut feeling 83 will be development hell for a very long time. it def feels like its been like that for 2 years now. looks promising but i have no real hopes that this game will come out soon
Total random and un-educated guess from my end. Any investor would want some sort of $ back from this project ASAP, I can't imagine they will be YEARS until its out. Early access is likely imho
@@theShermanator not sure if you're calling me uneducated or not otherwise I agree that early access is feasible. was just pointing out that the state of development these last few years have just made me personally feel as if the game will take a while for anything meaningful to come out of it. still hopeful though as it looks good
Reforger has made some big leaps recently, but I think Reforger (at least from my 5000+ A3 perspective) is always going to be a SP/COOP game before it's a MP game
I think the biggest thing holding this game back is its awful name, It's bound to gain more interest if it was called something like "NatoFront" instead. "'83" isn't memorable or recognizable. imagine if "Cyberpunk 2077" was just called "2077" numbers are not names.
I understand what you're saying. 1983 was the single most dangerous year in the cold war. That's really not well known however I do believe that's why they named it that.
Seriously, you think gamers who are fans of this genre are so daft to completely dismiss a game based on it's name? :] Also "NatoFront" sounds stupid lol, "83" is much better.
@@Ivanus59 mmm maybe Wars of Fronts: Duty of Battleground 1983, or something like : HAMMER&SICKLE ATTACK! NATO RESPOND. or something like I'LL NOT LET YOU EAT MY CHILDREN 2: RED FEAR '83. RED ATTACK! they are not coming from mars this time!...
I prefer RO2, but a lot of people seemed to like RS2 - maybe due to not being WW2 and specifically Vietnam? Or because almost all guns were at least semi if not full auto compared to most guns in RO2 being bolt actions ig
@@theShermanator the one thing about RO2 that kept me coming back. Atleast for a while. Is you could earn and unlock your classes and level up stuff. As well as the campaign mission mode where you take over the map was cool. They got rid of all that in the RS2. There’s nothing. No unlocks. No map takeover game mode. It’s just boring. I can only run through the jungle getting one hit so many times before I get bored and ask “what is the point”? This is probably the one thing hell let loose gets right. That you want things and make it seem like there is a purpose. If you took hell let loose, got rid of the point unlock system to earn things that game would be exactly where post scriptum was or is right now. Very few people like playing games that have no point to them
I love those games that aren't super hardcore but aren't super casual, these types of games are exactly that
RO2 and RS(2) as well- its like (imo) the best parts of Call of Duty/Battlefield mixed with HLL/Squad to create fast games but not twitch shooter stuff imo
Sadly means it’s going to dye off after a year or two
Easy Red 2 is also another casua/hardcord type ww2 game
Same.here. red orchestra and Rising storm games were perfect balance for me.
I would drop $100 on some special edition for this game. Red Orchestra/Rising Storm games were some of my absolute favorite shooters growing up.
@@MorroTreece I agree! I had so much fun with red orchestra 2 back in the days
Curious why they aren't interested in crowd funding, maybe they prefer to have a professional producer as a partner?
Great video Shermanator! Thanks for posting!
Glad it is back in development. I love the Red Orchestra series and Rising Storm 2. Just like Insurgency they strike a nice balance between realism and fun.
I have been waiting for this for years. I really hope we see a full release.
oh yea!

You can tell how good the games is just by some small stuff, that destroyed tank model looks so good, they didn't just paint it black and left it.

Red orchestra and rising storm are eternal gems.
It's about time! Really pleased to hear that '83 is back on track. RO2 remaster should be DLC ;)
If it came out on console it would be so successful. There’s a growing demand for this genre on console
@@thathalflatino I actually do believe this; Arma has too many keybinds but HLL on consoles works and this would require less keybinds even / its more casual/easygoing so who knows
@@theShermanator oh for real ?! 🤞🏼
@@thathalflatino I meant to say that I believe that a game like this COULD do good on consoles, but I have no clue if its coming to them sorry
@@theShermanator Reforger actually works on consoles and will soon release on PS5 as well
Fantastic news! RO2 and RS2 are still masterpieces
Honestly can't wait for the tanks >:D
Yeah especially if we get modeled interiors like in RO2
Yeah
@@Adam-i5h8f Probably not gonna happen considering RO2 tanks took HUGE amount of time to be properly modeled inside. But then again we're in 2024 now, so I would kinda expect interiors to be a thing regardless of vehicle type.
Persistent map/status was nifty
agreed
Red Orchestra and Rising Storm Vietnam were so damn fun, I'm glad this is back.
Looks cool.
Wishlisted
I just hope they have as good tank mechanics as Red Orchester 2
Cant wait!

Aghhh we need a falklands war mode
Ooh man yes
Great video! Please do a video on IGI Origins please!
Thanks, I want to!
Rising Storm 2 gameplay with vehicles sounds very nice....i really hope they can publish it and it will be as good as the other games
If they can pull it off.. I agree!
Hyped for this still
finally a game that might have a falklands mod
Does anything have the same...well I'm not sure what to call it free aiming system?
Nothing quite hit like Rising Storm/Red Orchestra
@@JackIsMe1993 deadzone is what you mean I think - its a setting I actually turn on in many games tbh - I liked it in Arma
@@theShermanator Thanking you appreciated o7 guess it's time to finally upgrade my 1060 and give ARMA a try.
both freeaim and deadzone means the same thing, so yeah

@@AR-qk3mg He's saying his guess is uneducated bro, not you.
@@CasvalSVER ok 👍i couldnt tell thank you
@@AR-qk3mg lmao no I was calling my guess uneducated, sorry for the confusion
Hell Let Loose has medics? the least used class in game since manpower use on death was removed.
@@jockothegreat8874 lmao yeah they are.. under used sadly
I want this game to succed and if possible have some Mod support
I'm still missing RO2
you and me
I'm not sure game developers are aware that the cold war did exist outside the 80s.
I mean, it would be interesting to see it go from 1950s to 1980s but a lot of people are gonna be more familiar with the later periods ig
Cold war tanks with the red orchestra 2 tank oh my god
I thought IGI was shutdown too?
Love seeing all my favourite arms in one setting: 83
Imagine if we get French forces with the FAMAS and either AMX-13 or AMX-30 for tanks.
What about IGI ORIGINS
I mention it a little in this video, I want to cover it however
I mean good luck against Arma reforger.
Reforger has made some big leaps recently, but I think Reforger (at least from my 5000+ A3 perspective) is always going to be a SP/COOP game before it's a MP game

Can you do another con game
lmao, what
@@theShermanator I know the videos are old but I was watching your conflict of nation games and I thought they were entertaining
This game is going nowhere.
I hope you're wrong, I want these Veterans of RO2, RS and RS2 to have a chance to prove they can make a good game still
Consoles 😢 suck never get good stuff
so get a PC! 🤗
Rising storm 2 is a garbage game. No replay ability very boring.
