Thanks for checking out War of Rights! What a great video you've created from the eyes of a brand new player. It's been shared with the rest of the development team. :) We're glad that you enjoyed your experience with the game and its community.
War of Rights has a REALLY accurate ballistics system. Evey rifle is zeroed in at 100 yards, but since it's a subsonic projectile, you're going to overshoot anytime the enemy is closer than that, so you have to aim at the belt buckle of the enemy to have a high chance of hitting.
Not every rifle is zeroed at 100 yards though...some are zeroed at 1000 yards, 500 yards and even 300...and technically buck and ball is less than 100 yards

I have almost 1000 hours in this game and it is an amazing civil war game with a great community. Unfortunately not a ton of people are interested in civil war era games like this so there’s only ever 1 active server besides events. However during high pop that one active server can reach up to 350 players. Highly recommend getting it if you find it interesting
This game has taught me a few things. 1. The fact that it is a controversial gane is dumb. 2. The Battles are more intense than people may realize. 3. Battles are pretty well organized. 4. Everyone is a closet Confederate.

War of Rights really offers an experience that no other game can capture and I'm glad you enjoyed it too. If you can, I suggest trying to hop onto a pub server during NA peak hours (starts at 7pm on weekdays, a few hours earlier on weekends) for 250+ player battles
Yeah, this game has quite a bit of attention to detail. For example, attaching your bayonet makes it harder to aim properly due to the weight imbalance.
The devs really listen too. I asked them to alter players heights because having all players the same height is unrealistic and reduces immersion. Next patch, they added variable character height. Someone told me that the flag poles were too light coloured and should have some darker lacquer colouring at least sometimes - I mentioned that and they added it.. it's a very slow burn development process so some people get bored with the lack of new things over a long time.. but the attention to detail is amazing and rare in game development. I saw this game thanks to General Cody's kickstarter pre-early access videos and bought it the day it came out in early access. I've played almost 3000 hours. It's a definite vibe.
War of Rights is single-handedly the best multiplayer online experience I have had in decades. The ability to voice chat with 300 people simultaneously is unmatched
War Of Rights is one of the most immersive games i have ever played and sets the gold standard for how a game can tackle a first person shooter set during the American Civil War.
I've been playing War of Rights for just under 2 years and I've never had a dull moment. The community is small granted, but I think that allows players to form a tighter gaming bond with each other, I see the same names often and just like in normal life, you get talking to each other and start to find other things you have in common. This point is made stronger if you join a regiment, with the same players turning up for big matches over the weekend. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game and although I assumed I would enjoy it for the subject initially, I now enjoy it for the community. 15th Wisconsin "For The Cheese!".
I've been playing this game long enough to say that "clean and professional" is overrated. The less seriously people take these games, the better. It's why Holdfast lasted longer and got more attention than this.
lmao i love the concept that if you are in battle at any point or place in time there is always a slight chance your leader will be a random russian child
We just need a Napoleonic Era version of this game. As much as I enjoy playing War Of Rights I think there’s loads of potential for some more interesting battles and stuff.
Those lines on the ground would deffinitely help a lot, even if in a game such as Squad they were not that accurate, or like if it was lines or something that would project orders and each soldier's understanding of what each order means, like almost see through smoke with different colours or just pictograms - it really does make sense as since it is on the ground, it does not obscure your vision. Also, even from watching this game, it felt like that it communicates to the player: "communication, tactical planning, skills and thoughts is what will make you win the game" and it reminds me of how I have read that even in WW1 the engagement distances were pretty close, so I think that this game would work even in WW1 settings - also some player animations were awesome, some were weird, but still, the atmosphere with the gun sounds: that is some dope ass stuff that does NOT SHIT ON THE LINE.
Great Video Slorgs. Played quite a bit of War Of Rights, It's superb. I backed it way back when it was on kickstarter - Was the only successful one I got outside of Hell Let Loose
There's a lot of milsim elements, like communication and teamwork and semi-serious RP, but it balances that well with people just playing a game and having fun in a more casual way. Not that there is anything wrong with serious well organized milsim stuff, that stuff is impressive and really entertaining, but it can be very hard to organize, plan and execute. This is a good middle ground. Not a lot of people goofing off and doing their own thing, they are naturally encouraged to just cooperate. I'm sure someone else could put it to words better than I can.
Can’t believe Slorgs has put out a video on one of, if not my favorite game. War of Rights holds a very special place in my heart, as I would have never met some of my favorite people if I had never picked it up. War of Rights is the reason I decided to go to Chickamauga National Battlefield (a 3 and a half hour drive, more for others), just to meet up with some of my friends and explore the area. This dumb Civil War game has made me laugh the hardest in my life, and has had some of the most intense and memorable moments of any game I’ve ever played (Winning Cooke’s Countercharge as the Union for those who know how Confederate biased that map is). Once again Slorgs, thank you for covering this game TLDR: I love War of Rights
Love the video! The game doesn't get nearly enough attention. If you want to see what this game is really capable of please check out the organized play with Regiments. I play with the 10th US and would love to show you the ropes, but there are tons of other great Regiments you'd be welcome to play with. It's a whole different level of crazy fun.
This is not a game I will binge and play all night long, but I always go back to it. I can't say that for other games, I usually play and then lose interest and move on. But War of Rights has a unique feel and play to it that brings me back again and again. When I just want to have a more relaxed/chill gaming session I hop on WoR, it never disappoints. Lots of laughs, the players and proximity chat really make this game worthwhile.
Games like this and Holdfast just have a teamplay vibe to them. Your gun is shit and super inaccurate. It takes forever to reload and obscures your vision. This means a few things. 1: There is actually time to meme on people with proximity chat even if you don't have the reflexes of a 15 year old. 2: Sticking with your team and enacting tactics actually pays off as coordinated attacks have a significant impact on effectiveness. 3: Number 2 makes it important to actually make friends and talk to your team so social gaming is encouraged. 4: Because your gun is so shit, the skill ceiling is pretty low. 5: If you're bad at the game you can take on support roles and gain your teams appreciation. Reloading cannons is important work. Playing the bugle is crucial. Being a drummer buffs nearby team-mates. Carrying the flag makes reloads faster, you are actually supporting your team by just standing there. 6: You don't have to have photo-perfect map knowledge to do well, you simply have to follow instructions and hope your commander knows what he's doing. Games like these are a lot of fun in their own right, and everyone should play them.
BUGLE IS NOT CRUCIAL. DRUMS DOES *NOT* BUFF TEAMMATES. You're thinking of Holdfast maybe..? Musicians in this game are USELESS - they are only to relay orders.. which is a waste of a player that could be holding a rifle. If anything, bugles and drums give away your location to the enemy. Please, do not pick musician classes.
This has actually been the best advertisement for this game I've seen yet. Other videos didn't really sell the game to me - This one makes me actually want to play it. Definitely going to pick it up now.
Slorgs became one of us. The community is the best. Usually when you join a unit in War of Rights it usually has people from that area. Like When 1st Texas active almost everyone was from Texas.
Wow I haven’t played WOR since it came out, the graphics and mechanics seem like they’ve really improved. Definitely a favorite of mine, will be jumping back in soon!!
As a long time player and supporter of this game, your video was extremely entertaining and fair towards WoR, especially in comparison to so many clickbait videos that barely scratch the surface. I would note that there is a huge clan organization part of this game that many people never hear about, that caters to people who love games centered on team co-op. The biggest servers are the frequent locked events between these clans. Anyways, very refreshing to actually laugh at a war of rights video :)
This game is such a blast! I highly recommend checking into joining a regiment if you want the full experience, the organized events can be sooo much fun!
First Union officer is a squeaker, first Confederate officer is a consummate professional with a Southern accent and a European NCO repeating his orders. That's the War of Rights experience I know.
I recently got into this game. I saw it a few years ago and thought it would be interesting but then I totally forgot about it. I’m very glad I went into it. Hitting enemies at range or in melee is always satisfying
I've been a backer of this game since 2015. The progress of this game has at times brought me to tears, because I am passionate for this game. I am a Civil War Reenactor (2nd Maryland Infantry [CSA], Co. A) and wish there were more games like this. Sadly, yes because it's the internet, people are toxic as all hell in this game. But you can tell when you play this game, it's developed with care and heart. It's not the game's fault for being "toxic," the community can be toxic as hell. The best way to truly enjoy this game and avoid a lot of the toxicity is joining a regiment, where they (should) curb that behavior. Plus, regiments take part in organized battles and events, which really makes the game so much fun.
War of Rights and Squad are the two games I find myself coming back to over and over again. It's just so satisfying playing a game where it's a little slower, but when it gets down to business, it still brings intensity and excitement.
Once you start playing, even on the Confederate side, it's remarkably uncontroversial. A lot of the officers and players are from the South and through this game try to RP as their ancestors and want to portray them in their best light. The game itself, the mechanics lend themselves to very organised play. An incredibly enjoyable experience!
They've been developing this game for over 10 years, and it's still not close to being finished.. I'm not sure we can expect them to make more than one game at this rate lol.
What a great video! You actually take the time to learn the game dynamics and understand the community behind it, not like most youtubers that just take random kids saying slurs in the public servers and use that as a clickbait to frame the game and the whole community as "r*cist" or "controversial". War of Rights only exists because of the community, regiments are literally what gives life to the game. Regiments recruit new players giving them the possibility to play in major community events, participate in drills, meet new people and make friends, which at the end of the day is what makes players spend more time in the game and being active members of the community. Which makes me proud to see my 4th Georgia fellows in this video. I hope you revisit the game soon, maybe in a part two for this video, it would be nice to see you attending a community event with a regiment to show more of that side of the game, is an experience that's worth it.
Useful notes: T=see your teamates name tags (good for charges), seeing your officer (star icon), and other relevant info. C=change between walking and double time(a jog) B=bayonet V=melee mode R=reload, but you can hit it again to interrupt your reload. N=default voice chat
I remember playing this game when peak hours reached less that 100 players. since going back ive been in mutliple matches with nearly 300 people in consecutive days. idk what happened but its nice to enjoy the game participating in big matches
Love this game, I've wanted it for a long time and it definitely lived up to what I thought it would be. Also, despite the racism memes, most matches are pretty tame and the big server is well moderated. I hope this game has a surge, I'd love to see more active servers.
Been playing WOR for around three years now, it’s an incredibly immersive experience that allows us civil war lovers to experience the closest thing possible to experience civil war battles. Gotta say this game has something for everybody I wish more people knew about it.
Damn, this game graphics are absolutely beautiful and the roleplay is amazing - so immersive. Wish my pc could handle that. Also im European so i guess theres barely any players here and the ping for US servers is enormous for me. Edit: i found out that the requirements are suprisingly low and also there are european units :) also, ive seen this game in early access, i had no clue it came out in 2018! i swear i saw some early access showcase like a year ago
Like many things, it's primarily the community. The game is fantastic but a lot of the more veteran players of the community tend to lean Confederate, thanks to the greater level of experience that tends to be on this team as compared to Union teams. That's not to say the Union doesn't have it's own experienced units and leaders, but they are far and few between nowadays.
Havent played this since it came out, but i have unforgettable memories of a guy blasting scotland the brave on mic while we charged rebels in a glorious hail of gunfire.
This game is great, I've played it for years, yet it is when organised well-drilled regiments meet in events that the game really shines. The amount of immersion possible when everybody knows his place and role in the force is unmatched by anything I've played ever since.
If you are recording this game outside of American peak time (around 1am - 2am London time) then I do not believe you capture the full spirit of the game. Nothing more than seeing a battlefield with 250 - 350 players on it. The more players there are the more immersive it becomes in my opinion.
I played in these matches with you - I remember the humour of the Russian child leading the sharpshooters regiment lol. I play as 'Billy Bowlegs'. One thing.. you weren't spamming the 'T' button all the time... next time you play you need to do this xD
17:38 that guy was using buck and ball (basically a shotgun blast), and since he TK’d FOUR of his teammates, he was probably instantly kicked from the server 😂
i love this damn game, so realistic, i remember a charge of men when the flag went down, it was a rush to pick it up. then we ran the final man down. as he was panting and out of breath getting shot down like a dog. then we all patched our wounds and reloaded. getting back into formation before receiving orders from our commanders. made me happy
As a living historian I think this game is very good. Not to mention it teaches history by explaining the battle and having every mission play out the same way as it did before, at the expense of the players determining who wins through the very same tactics. It blends it so well in fact that it’s one of the first games where you have to listen to leadership and keep in line to win. Sounds boring till you play it and really get into the LARP aspect of it. Wish we had more games like this which could keep history on the radar whilst being fun to play.
The game mechanic of punishing you for being out of formation i such a great idea that forces a group of completely random people to work together. Most players follow officer commands, perform volleys, and charge all together without hesitation, even on the public 350 player server. The day I saw around 50 men all collectively decide to work together in one company to defeat their enemy is the day I had my faith in humanity restored, if only just a bit. The sound of 50 muskets firing at the exact same time is a sound you will not forget. 100000000000% recommend this game. Don't listen to the recruiters saying the only way to have fun is in a clan, the pub server is almost always being led by competent officers and folks will teach you basic stuff happily.
i played with a guy that would play margaritaville while moving around the map as are Sargent probably the coolest guy iv ever met and when shit hit the fan he would bayonet 10 guys before going down the man was a god i never got his name but now and again ill imagine him sitting on a sun lounger in some sunny part of the world drinking a small drink with a tiny umbrella in it and ill think and hope that he did find his margaritaville and hes soaking in every moment of it, that man carried us through some of the worst battles war of rights has ever seen and if he ask me to join him again when the time is needed id load up that game and do it all over again just for him.
You have got to play this more 😂😂😂 this is amazing!! I’m not sure about the racism thing lol but it’s definitely looking like a whole lot of fun with all those people 🎉.
I have never actually played war of rights but have watched lots of streamers and UA-camrs specifically General Codys videos are some of my favorite. I didn’t think the racism was much worse than any other game tbh Ive heard more racism in an average COD lobby lol
I really have been wanting to try this game since it came out, but the player count was holding me back.. I really need to give it a shot, 1 server is still enough for some fun.
The numbers shown here are missleading. Friday nights there are three full servers which are for people who have joined units, and the pub server is full as well. Its not unsusaul to find aleast 280-300 plays on per night ( USA) during the week. This game is full of mainly working people so they play afew hours after work. The Mighty Men form the South are more conservitive but accepting of all, we have people from all races and backgrounds and sexualitys. My advice is don't join if you cannot take playful jabs about you. The north is for the more, ummm how do I put this,...the softer types.If you are easly offended or like sitting atop a white horse then thats the side for you. This game is just great.
07:01 Very american of you to use the guy in front of you as a meathshield, kind of analogous to NATO, no? LOL 38:06 Yes, a drummer or fife so the men can keep time while marching, to give orders also. Obviously in Europe in the 18th Century, you needed all your men to fight in the line, so you gave children that role. The additional idea was that if the child got killed or maimed it would enrage the men and motivate them, or shame them into fighting harder.
my only problem with war of rights is that playing as a solo that wants nothing to do with clan and clan activities is more or less, impossible. probably because i have no idea how to play it but i don't want a clan, i play squad with randoms, and i have fun there.
Why the averion to joining a Regiment? Most only have one simple requirement. Dont be a jerk. No attendance requirements, no mandatory training drills, no mandatory anything but jst decenet behavior. It opens you up to an entirely different gameplay where all the trolls and garbage from pubs arent't allowed. Being in a regiment doesnt not stop you from playig as you do now but gives added options.
Hey slorgi @slorgs, is there a playerbase? Steam does not show any players playing the game. I live in Brasil so I need to know, if I can play, maybe US servers.
Yes, albeit small, there is a consistently active player base and you often end up running into people over and over again so it is easy to make friends. Being in Brazil shouldn’t affect the time difference that much since almost all the people who play this game are in the US
Honestly sometimes at long range it’s better to take the bayonet off this comes from someone who usually plays as a SGT keeping people in line. I yell at people for running after people so often remember if your alone your dead
the coolest part is, in most of videos like this it goes the following. you buy the game looking for servers that are either funny or cooridnated but never find any ever, maybe one or two. but this video IS war of rights, 99% of the time it goes exactly like this. ive been playing for almost 5 years now, so i know thats a fact

5: If you're bad at the game you can take on support roles and gain your teams appreciation. Reloading cannons is important work. Playing the bugle is crucial. Being a drummer buffs nearby team-mates. Carrying the flag makes reloads faster, you are actually supporting your team by just standing there.
6: You don't have to have photo-perfect map knowledge to do well, you simply have to follow instructions and hope your commander knows what he's doing.
Games like these are a lot of fun in their own right, and everyone should play them.
BUGLE IS NOT CRUCIAL. DRUMS DOES *NOT* BUFF TEAMMATES. You're thinking of Holdfast maybe..? Musicians in this game are USELESS - they are only to relay orders.. which is a waste of a player that could be holding a rifle. If anything, bugles and drums give away your location to the enemy. Please, do not pick musician classes.
I wish this game had more server that just let people play, and the community was bigger. Its a super fun game.
175 vs 175 isnt big enough battle for you?
@@JVRottweil Is that just the maximum number the server can handle? Or are there actually that many players in a server consistently?
@@party4lifedudeBoth. That is the max people there can be in a server, and there are usually at least one or two that are at almost max capacity
@@CharlieBaker4470 That's pretty good.
@@party4lifedudethe fullest they are are usually late afternoon evening NA time
This has actually been the best advertisement for this game I've seen yet. Other videos didn't really sell the game to me - This one makes me actually want to play it. Definitely going to pick it up now.
HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS?! IT"S AMAZXING!
Slorgs became one of us. The community is the best. Usually when you join a unit in War of Rights it usually has people from that area. Like When 1st Texas active almost everyone was from Texas.
Too bad my state wasn't a state until 24 years later
I'm in the 2nd Wisconsin and our Captain is from Louisiana 😂
Wow I haven’t played WOR since it came out, the graphics and mechanics seem like they’ve really improved. Definitely a favorite of mine, will be jumping back in soon!!
22:45 Is the best part about this entire game because when you think you’re safe arty is always there to kill you out of nowhere.
As a long time player and supporter of this game, your video was extremely entertaining and fair towards WoR, especially in comparison to so many clickbait videos that barely scratch the surface. I would note that there is a huge clan organization part of this game that many people never hear about, that caters to people who love games centered on team co-op. The biggest servers are the frequent locked events between these clans. Anyways, very refreshing to actually laugh at a war of rights video :)
This game is such a blast! I highly recommend checking into joining a regiment if you want the full experience, the organized events can be sooo much fun!
First Union officer is a squeaker, first Confederate officer is a consummate professional with a Southern accent and a European NCO repeating his orders. That's the War of Rights experience I know.
I recently got into this game. I saw it a few years ago and thought it would be interesting but then I totally forgot about it. I’m very glad I went into it. Hitting enemies at range or in melee is always satisfying
I've been a backer of this game since 2015. The progress of this game has at times brought me to tears, because I am passionate for this game. I am a Civil War Reenactor (2nd Maryland Infantry [CSA], Co. A) and wish there were more games like this. Sadly, yes because it's the internet, people are toxic as all hell in this game. But you can tell when you play this game, it's developed with care and heart. It's not the game's fault for being "toxic," the community can be toxic as hell. The best way to truly enjoy this game and avoid a lot of the toxicity is joining a regiment, where they (should) curb that behavior. Plus, regiments take part in organized battles and events, which really makes the game so much fun.
War of Rights and Squad are the two games I find myself coming back to over and over again. It's just so satisfying playing a game where it's a little slower, but when it gets down to business, it still brings intensity and excitement.
Once you start playing, even on the Confederate side, it's remarkably uncontroversial. A lot of the officers and players are from the South and through this game try to RP as their ancestors and want to portray them in their best light. The game itself, the mechanics lend themselves to very organised play. An incredibly enjoyable experience!
From what I see the attention to detail is amazing and would love to see more war games from this company. Them doing a ww1 game would be amazing
They've been developing this game for over 10 years, and it's still not close to being finished.. I'm not sure we can expect them to make more than one game at this rate lol.
What a great video! You actually take the time to learn the game dynamics and understand the community behind it, not like most youtubers that just take random kids saying slurs in the public servers and use that as a clickbait to frame the game and the whole community as "r*cist" or "controversial".
War of Rights only exists because of the community, regiments are literally what gives life to the game. Regiments recruit new players giving them the possibility to play in major community events, participate in drills, meet new people and make friends, which at the end of the day is what makes players spend more time in the game and being active members of the community. Which makes me proud to see my 4th Georgia fellows in this video.
I hope you revisit the game soon, maybe in a part two for this video, it would be nice to see you attending a community event with a regiment to show more of that side of the game, is an experience that's worth it.
Plz make more of this coni actually laughed hard, my fave game that as ever existed I love this game
This was almost as educational as "The Civil War" by Ken Burns. Well, almost
Actually loved the coordination and teamplay, might give this a try.
Useful notes: T=see your teamates name tags (good for charges), seeing your officer (star icon), and other relevant info.
C=change between walking and double time(a jog)
B=bayonet
V=melee mode
R=reload, but you can hit it again to interrupt your reload.
N=default voice chat
Love you lil slorgi❤
good video good game wish you and this game got more attention
I remember playing this game when peak hours reached less that 100 players. since going back ive been in mutliple matches with nearly 300 people in consecutive days. idk what happened but its nice to enjoy the game participating in big matches
Love this game, I've wanted it for a long time and it definitely lived up to what I thought it would be. Also, despite the racism memes, most matches are pretty tame and the big server is well moderated. I hope this game has a surge, I'd love to see more active servers.
the dude screaming his heart out at the final brawl made it so much more fun and cinematic, hope he’s doing well
I really need this on playstation and xbox
Been playing WOR for around three years now, it’s an incredibly immersive experience that allows us civil war lovers to experience the closest thing possible to experience civil war battles. Gotta say this game has something for everybody I wish more people knew about it.
Most of this video is extreme low pop for this hame😭 if he shows up during prime time you get 300 players at least
this is a comment for the algorithm
its growing boys and we gonna have a real good fight
Damn, this game graphics are absolutely beautiful and the roleplay is amazing - so immersive. Wish my pc could handle that. Also im European so i guess theres barely any players here and the ping for US servers is enormous for me.
Edit: i found out that the requirements are suprisingly low and also there are european units :) also, ive seen this game in early access, i had no clue it came out in 2018! i swear i saw some early access showcase like a year ago
Like many things, it's primarily the community.
The game is fantastic but a lot of the more veteran players of the community tend to lean Confederate, thanks to the greater level of experience that tends to be on this team as compared to Union teams.
That's not to say the Union doesn't have it's own experienced units and leaders, but they are far and few between nowadays.
Havent played this since it came out, but i have unforgettable memories of a guy blasting scotland the brave on mic while we charged rebels in a glorious hail of gunfire.
This game is great, I've played it for years, yet it is when organised well-drilled regiments meet in events that the game really shines. The amount of immersion possible when everybody knows his place and role in the force is unmatched by anything I've played ever since.
If you are recording this game outside of American peak time (around 1am - 2am London time) then I do not believe you capture the full spirit of the game. Nothing more than seeing a battlefield with 250 - 350 players on it. The more players there are the more immersive it becomes in my opinion.
idk compared to "SEX with HITLER" I think this games not so controversial.
Ok Norm MacDonald
I played in these matches with you - I remember the humour of the Russian child leading the sharpshooters regiment lol. I play as 'Billy Bowlegs'.
One thing.. you weren't spamming the 'T' button all the time... next time you play you need to do this xD
So under rated.
17:38 that guy was using buck and ball (basically a shotgun blast), and since he TK’d FOUR of his teammates, he was probably instantly kicked from the server 😂
It's really funny to me hearing Europeans role playing American Civil War soldiers.
You deserve way more subscribers,
i love this damn game, so realistic, i remember a charge of men when the flag went down, it was a rush to pick it up. then we ran the final man down. as he was panting and out of breath getting shot down like a dog. then we all patched our wounds and reloaded. getting back into formation before receiving orders from our commanders. made me happy
Loving the longer vids!!!
As a living historian I think this game is very good. Not to mention it teaches history by explaining the battle and having every mission play out the same way as it did before, at the expense of the players determining who wins through the very same tactics. It blends it so well in fact that it’s one of the first games where you have to listen to leadership and keep in line to win.
Sounds boring till you play it and really get into the LARP aspect of it.
Wish we had more games like this which could keep history on the radar whilst being fun to play.
Without "racism" this game would be boring.
I got it yesterday and I’ve been having a blast
The organized regiment play is a lot of fun, we have a ckmpetitive league that plays wednesday nights and tabletop game on weekends
The game mechanic of punishing you for being out of formation i such a great idea that forces a group of completely random people to work together. Most players follow officer commands, perform volleys, and charge all together without hesitation, even on the public 350 player server. The day I saw around 50 men all collectively decide to work together in one company to defeat their enemy is the day I had my faith in humanity restored, if only just a bit. The sound of 50 muskets firing at the exact same time is a sound you will not forget.
100000000000% recommend this game. Don't listen to the recruiters saying the only way to have fun is in a clan, the pub server is almost always being led by competent officers and folks will teach you basic stuff happily.
i played with a guy that would play margaritaville while moving around the map as are Sargent probably the coolest guy iv ever met and when shit hit the fan he would bayonet 10 guys before going down the man was a god i never got his name but now and again ill imagine him sitting on a sun lounger in some sunny part of the world drinking a small drink with a tiny umbrella in it and ill think and hope that he did find his margaritaville and hes soaking in every moment of it, that man carried us through some of the worst battles war of rights has ever seen and if he ask me to join him again when the time is needed id load up that game and do it all over again just for him.
31:33 This feels like the final fights in the Anchorman movies
Your pretty much jackfrags but better, has more variety and not a triple a shill you deserve more subscribers
If you area a french speaker, join the LFL! Lee's French Legion 10th Louisiana needs you to stop the blue tide! Louisiana!! YeeYee!!
Liked and subbed. Love your content.
Couldn't agree more with your conclusion.
You have got to play this more 😂😂😂 this is amazing!! I’m not sure about the racism thing lol but it’s definitely looking like a whole lot of fun with all those people 🎉.
I have never actually played war of rights but have watched lots of streamers and UA-camrs specifically General Codys videos are some of my favorite. I didn’t think the racism was much worse than any other game tbh Ive heard more racism in an average COD lobby lol
Great review!
around 27:25 pretty sure I fought against you guys there, that was a memorable fight
gamers are sleeping on this game
I really have been wanting to try this game since it came out, but the player count was holding me back.. I really need to give it a shot, 1 server is still enough for some fun.
Weird to see it pop back up. Help it brings back some player base
The numbers shown here are missleading. Friday nights there are three full servers which are for people who have joined units, and the pub server is full as well. Its not unsusaul to find aleast 280-300 plays on per night ( USA) during the week. This game is full of mainly working people so they play afew hours after work. The Mighty Men form the South are more conservitive but accepting of all, we have people from all races and backgrounds and sexualitys. My advice is don't join if you cannot take playful jabs about you. The north is for the more, ummm how do I put this,...the softer types.If you are easly offended or like sitting atop a white horse then thats the side for you. This game is just great.
This game is a trip i love it.
17:30 It was at this moment; we all knew death was about to be witnessed.
Good fun and the nature in the game looks fantastic!
07:01 Very american of you to use the guy in front of you as a meathshield, kind of analogous to NATO, no? LOL
38:06 Yes, a drummer or fife so the men can keep time while marching, to give orders also. Obviously in Europe in the 18th Century, you needed all your men to fight in the line, so you gave children that role. The additional idea was that if the child got killed or maimed it would enrage the men and motivate them, or shame them into fighting harder.
my only problem with war of rights is that playing as a solo that wants nothing to do with clan and clan activities is more or less, impossible.
probably because i have no idea how to play it but i don't want a clan, i play squad with randoms, and i have fun there.
Just play on pubs and listen to your officer
Play public matches then. Most of the playerbase are not in private regiments.
Why the averion to joining a Regiment? Most only have one simple requirement. Dont be a jerk. No attendance requirements, no mandatory training drills, no mandatory anything but jst decenet behavior. It opens you up to an entirely different gameplay where all the trolls and garbage from pubs arent't allowed. Being in a regiment doesnt not stop you from playig as you do now but gives added options.
Well, Yesterday i downloaded the game again. To my wonder, i had fun.
Hey slorgi @slorgs,
is there a playerbase?
Steam does not show any players playing the game.
I live in Brasil so I need to know, if I can play, maybe US servers.
Yes, albeit small, there is a consistently active player base and you often end up running into people over and over again so it is easy to make friends. Being in Brazil shouldn’t affect the time difference that much since almost all the people who play this game are in the US
@@CGHELIPILOT perfect. Thank you very much for the response. 😊
@@klausmalzbier no problem man, if you choose to play it you’ll probably find me playing as well
thats not controvelsial thats historicly accurate!
slorgs playing wor surprised me and I don't know why
Honestly sometimes at long range it’s better to take the bayonet off this comes from someone who usually plays as a SGT keeping people in line. I yell at people for running after people so often remember if your alone your dead
the coolest part is, in most of videos like this it goes the following. you buy the game looking for servers that are either funny or cooridnated but never find any ever, maybe one or two. but this video IS war of rights, 99% of the time it goes exactly like this. ive been playing for almost 5 years now, so i know thats a fact
TALL GRASS?!?! Brother you are in a corn field
This game is better than warzone
