@@Bluedrake42 I'm always here man, lurking from the shadows ;-). Been following OHD for quite some time and I think it has some true potential. Just gotta see it as a bigass sandbox game that you can turn into any kind of shooter. As time goes by and more stuff gets developed, you end up with a base game that's fun as well as unlimited mods that are fun for many others. Hang in there, together with your team and go after this dream of yours (and many others for that matter). It'll be rough and there will be plenty of bad reviews, but you gotta look further than what you see on the screen. Seriously, this has great potential 💪🏻
@@AfterDune You're such an awesome dude man. Thank you so much for being who you are. I've always appreciated your influence on the Project Reality community and beyond. You've been a guiding hand for so many of us for so long. Means a lot to me that you're here to see us launch.
@@karmens831On DayZ you're less likely to encounter cheaters on community servers BECAUSE the community polices their own servers. This is the new reality if you arent a multimillion dollar company. The only downside to the game right now, is having to listen to these kinds of complaints. I guess since DayZ is working better now, there's nowhere else for peopl like this to go and whine.
You can tell the old school FPS players, because they would absolutely love it. No achievements, no ranking system, no battle passes, no lootboxes, no storyline, just fun. This is what CounterStrike was like in its golden era
This is an incredible start. I remember watching bluedrake about 2 or so years ago talking about getting something like this done. It's so impressive to see where you and the team have taken the dream blue.
I think we are slowly in a time were a new generation is getting old enough to buy and play games for themselves - and they grew up with battlepasses, skins and live service, the dark era of gaming. I am 27 and I still long for the day of games like paraworld, rise and fall or even the older need for speed games. Just a CD, no bullsht, just a finished game. Your game is different but it still holds this feeling of being a genuine game of passion. I respect that!
Same and you are right. Kids today will never get to experience all the good games, couch co-op, movies, shows, etc... that we did. Games took a wrong turn about ten years ago.
"Dark era of gaming" well put. The kids think thats how it has to be. Made me quit lot of gaming more than 10 years ago. Battlepasses are crap. Lootboxes are pure poison. I will check this game out, seems to be more in my street.
Yeah, the "Desire for BattlePass" really is the result of a stunted FPS player base. They seem to like the fact that there is timed access to certain things, which is a broken mindset when it comes to gaming to begin with... I congratulate the OHD Team on building past this insidious money making scheme. Keep up the great work!
I completely agree with this. I couldn't imagine having played Final Fantasy X and feeling the same connection I do with the game if I had to keep buying DLCs, skins and battle passes and Square Enix online subscriptions.
This is what we need. The community stepping up thanks to the tyranical nature that the AAA companies have adopted. I will support you and people like you forever. Just don't lose track this.
It's not really tyranical, they ain't forcing anyone. It's just that people still support/ed it so they keep doing it. Once more games like this one come out the companies will have to adapt. Nothing tyranical about this. Just supply and demand and competition at work.
@@baph0met People don't "support" those types of games, it's the fact that there isn't anything else right now. People are looking for new games, a lot of people don't just stick to 2 games and never play anything else, the causal consummer isn't at fault, the misrepresented, over promised and "We'll fix it later" mentaility is what's killing games right now. Theres a large difference between support and doing something because there is literally nothing else that specifically suits what you want.
Had the privilege of testing it, while the game lacks some polish, it is beyond phenomenal especially for free, the modding environment, and community than came to help bring this to life also is a big part, I've spent hours already, and am ready to play some more!
Depends on how much creative freedom you have like Skyrim for example, it's very big like i think you can mod every aspect of that game now and pretty much Bethesda games in general. CD Projekt Red is working on it but i don't think there's much modders can do with that game without their brains exploding coz i heard its really hard then theres Rimworld, Factorio and modders had a fun time making those coz i remember when Rimworld was in development and there were modders already and Tynan gave them the green light to expand and it did "i remember Tynan's selling pitch is he was one of the devs on Bioshock infinite something lol, he made a gem though so madlad of him". Minecraft, it was slow for that one but then it just expanded exponentially out of nowhere and i don't even know how it started coz i played Minecraft when it was on beta :D good times.
Oh i forgot about the FATHER of all Modded Games WARCRAFT. The idea was simple, game modes. Alot of the games today are inspired and born there like Dota which gave birth to DOTA 2 and League of Legends, Tower Defense "Like every tower defense you see now" and lots more "Not totally sure if they were born there but thats where i first found such games. So they all have one thing in common, the creative freedom you can do with it and how friendly the game is to be modded. Edit: Just so people that read this have an idea how long its been is i played Dota when my country only had Dial Up Internet and and we played Dota on LAN only where we trash talk each other in person "Yes, alot of fights started from that game. I remember getting hit by a flying chair once and threw one back and yeah we were banned from that cafe and my bois and the enemy team we just laughed outside like nothing happened." some even get stabbed playing that game on Lan lol. CounterStrike 2 was booming too on LAN and BTW this is somewhere in ASIA so Internet was really late like year 2000 and we have DOTA was booming at 2003 like right when it got release it was wild "game had potential from the jump".
Majority of us that are loving the game are coming from the older gamers. The ones who actually played BF1942 and CoD 2 Search and Destroy. We come from the days of eve of destruction and desert combat. We come from the days of early Project Reality. Bluedrake, we are loving this, me and all my buddies who have been in the online scene for over 20 years. This is what gaming was. This is making gaming great again. I genuinely feel that way. I played 10 hours straight last night and after i do my daily responsibilities you bet your butt ill be on again!
I miss the first years of playing games those were the days, I was definitely not old enough for bf1942 but I played from mw2 and on those lobbies where the funniest of all time I gotta say
@@zeleacodreanu1 oh fuck joint ops, never liked it I thought it was jank as fuck compared to BF. But I will say it was epic had like what 120 man servers back in 03?
I see this going 1 of 2 ways. 1. They stick to their word and keep it free, community updated and all that jazz.. 2. They finally realize there is money to be made, battlepass comes in, cosmetic store comes in and weapon store comes in. Lets hope that its #1, because this game has potential.
I think cosmetics and skins are fine. Look at league of legends or CSGO or any game that is F2P but not P2W. It’s all about skill and has cosmetics do nothing but pay the devs.
Man..what a genius idea. I love the idea of a small development company releasing a strong foundation to the community for free and letting the community help and even BECOME A MEMBER of the development team in creating the vision of OHDS through workshop support. As a development team / community relationship, it doesn’t get more personal than that. Looking forward to seeing what happens. Congrats guys.
@@DriveByGuy A small development team enlisting the help of the community to improve their game is lazy? Then how is it not lazy to just hire hundreds of employees to work on your game?
Love the idea behind the game, even the biggest studios have issues at launch, that is just the way it is, making games is super hard and time consuming, I wish you guys the best and congrats on the launch
the discord idea is awesome but please continue to also post updates on UA-cam just to continue tapping into that market of people who have never heard of this game up until now like myself. UA-cam is a very powerful tool and posting updates here is super important aswell, i LOVE the game and really hope it gets the playerbase it deserves!
If anyone is curious about a non-biased opinion on the game. A legit review from a player. Here it is: -Little to no player base. 2 Server about 90% full most days -Game already has Tarkov level cheaters despite only being out for 4 months. This amplified further because of the already tiny player base. Some games, one guy will end the match with 150/0 K/D, meanwhile the average I’ve seen for most people is anywhere between 10-20 -Despite have 200+ hours on the game, I’ve played the same 2 maps for most of that time. Map rotation is existent, but seems not be random. -No incentive to work as a team, most matches just end up being one big mash where one teams caps a point a defends it perfectly for 30 mins. Giving them the win by default. -Gun play is on par with other military sim fps, shooting weaponry feels meaningful -The maps I did get to play were enjoyable and VERY diverse. Jungles, Desert, Urban, etc. Overall, I get the game is in the works. I know it’s free. I know it’s YOUR game and you love it. Honestly, it’s better than what most people can make. That being said, it’s FAR FAR FAR away from being even playable. And most people will get everything they want out of your game by just playing Squad or Insurgency now, rather than 5 years from now.
I was playing yesterday and saw you on the other team briefly BD. This is literally the most exciting gaming project I have ever seen. Literally infinite potential!
I played it for about an hour yesterday and I had a good time. I really appreciate the fact it has single player for someone like me who isn't always looking to play multiplayer games. This game gives me the satisfaction of playing a MP like game in single player so I don't have to deal with factors like lag and real people. I wish the best for this game :)
Seeing how development on games works from the ground up and how difficult the coding and generally the whole process can be, I have a deep appreciation for many types of games. This one looks awesome and I'd be proud that it's gotten this far! Looks very good for a smaller team and only going to keep getting better.
This project is gonna change the whole FPS experience for me. In my opinion OHD is one of the best project to watch grow and evolve. I really want to play the zombie mode.
I wouldn’t call this a “masterpiece” but it’s in the works to be something epic if the community can bring the modding to life because that’s what he’s relying on for “us” to finish his game
This is so cool I wish more youtubers would do a similar thing. So many youtubers complain about triple A gaming nowadays if more big youtubers mobilized like this we can bring gaming back to what it should be.
And today we really have everything to make games, blueprint based engines, steam supported servers, workshops etc. Even one man projects can be soo good… AND now we have an example of what an (awesome) youtuber can achive if he wants!
So far I have been really enjoying OHD! I think some people haven't really been following the project and don't realize that it is a community made project and doesn't have a lot of content right now. Despite that, its super fun to hop into a server and play for a little while. Keep up the good work!
I am downloading your game now, not because it's free but because it is so refreshing to hear someone being open and honest about their game. So long as you all keep that up and your willing to listen to the player base, I'm pretty sure your game will take off and the community will be behind you.
This is something we really need for every game genre: Basic build with versatile engine and give as much mod support as possible. Awesome work! Also I really hope that discord realizes how powerful platform it can be for livestreaming and videos since it is private room with invite style of getting in. Hopefully it can stay like that aswell so all moronic laws about music copyrights and no swearing policies (and much "worse" things like seeing blood in a game) won't affect the streams/videos in discord.
We're so proud of what the team has done to this point, and I'm especially impressed with how you're reacting to the hilarious levels of salt after the early access launch. Keep your skin thick and your finger of the trigger. See you out there!
i just want to say, thank you. to your team, to you and the community, you've done for us no other triple A company or studio could ever do for us. and you should be proud. i send my best regards.
I'm in your corner here, I wish you the best of luck with the development of this game, and I hope it becomes the next battlefield/arma we've all been waiting for.
I can’t believe this dude has to explain that it’s not a AAA release. Consumers are incredibly stupid, especially considering the insane amount of info they have their disposal. Awesome stuff guys.
He is just being egotistical, many of the bad reviews are calling out that hey why are people saying the game is automatically good because it’s free. Don’t just believe someone because they put their face on all the marketing.
@@merchant_of_kek5697 no one is saying that the game is good because of the mod support things that people was really excited for, he isn't being egotiscal and nothing really supports that view
I can already see this being the absolute thorn in the side of big studios in the near future. "Hey. Our games free. And it has every game mode. And it's polished. And it's free." Christ on a bike I really want this to succeed because I will thoroughly enjoy the chaos.
This game makes me proud, i've been following this game for 2 years and i've seen it be built from the ground up. If you devs see this, you've done great work, you guys give me hope with me making my own game. Good luck brothers!
@@CMarkemSince 99% client sided anti cheat is not working anymore, they(or all game vendors) shoud've consider a server sided. Cheap, efficient, just need good statistics instead of cyber security rat and cat game. If legit players know cheaters will get banned soon when they hit the report button, it motivate them to playing against a cheaters in few round. Client sided anticheat is just need to collect the proof that they're cheating.
@@warhokn4178 No this game has like a SERIOUS cheater problem. Fly hacking/speed hacks/lagging out the servers/on literally every server. There is no anti-cheat in place. The game is completely unplayable lol. Should have never been released as a "game" should be a marketing tool/showcase. The game is going to die in a month and no one will give it a second look because of how bad it is to play
I just played the game for the first time, and instantly died 30 times in spawn in less than 1 sec each time. Someone was cheating big time, and made the game unplayable. 0/10 would never play again.
Can I just say, the fact you have mod makers doing part-time work on the development of the game itself, on top of having a pipeline for recruiting them into the dev team full-time is amazing to see. I love it when game devs and the modders of said games work together, it almost always results in amazing things.
@@proper9095 Well, modders finish all Bethesda's games, so that's normal on modding community. But you forgot that modders make mods because they like the game, not because they want compensation.
@@lucasmercadante1081 They didn't say finish, they said create. You are actually agreeing with the person you're trying to disagree with. Modders don't create a Bethesda game, they like the game and want to add to it. To have devs working on core development with the opportunity for a job is actually incentivizing devs/modders who want compensation. Not to say it's doomed, that just comes down to having skilled devs who believe in the project.
I have an idea! You should add (in my opinion) a custom loadout feature, here’s how it would work: in the menu there would be a LOADOUT section where you could modify your guns and choose guns to use in the battlefield, but if you wanted you could still play with the default classes. Btw THESE GAME SOUNDS ARE F*CKING AWESOME!!!!!
Only if the squad leader were able to make those custom classes. Because imagine me with medkit, AT-4, Javelin, and a Sniper at my bag running around. The thing is, the classes are made that way to give a balance to the game. Im not sure how would you enforce that balance giving players the ability to make custom classes.
Personally, I would prefer a loadout style like Takov, where you can modify guns and clothing for a raid, but rather into specific slots instead of inventory for this game. Without a stash of course and with the ability to safe loudouts. You could grind for new stock guns, mods, camos, more slots and further equipment etc. for those who want that.
Why not have ALL THESE OPTIONS and make them related to gamemode instead? Realism mode with Squad-like weapons, Casual mode with Battlefield-like loadout, Extract mode with Tarkov-like loadout, Semi-Realistic mode with Insurgency-like loadout.
Every battle pass I’ve ever played feels like a monotonous replacement for in-game challenges and rewards from a ranking system. Looks like a great game!
try deep rock galactic its performance pass is the only time ive ever seen a "season" pass done right no way to pay, not grindy and all content at the end of the season gets added to the loot pool to earn at anytime then again, deep rock and its devs are some of the best in the industry and to ever be in the industry
thats cuz it is..? theyr all just cash grabs by changing characters outfits and gun colors 😂 the kids are starting to get used to it and even like it which INFURIATES me as its a toxic shitty part of games and needs to be removed
The future is as dark as ever, oh shoot someone's gonna poop the party. Free games that somehow can afford to employ Devs, even just time - out the modding community, might be great for us gamers, very short term. But nothings ever really free. Elsewhere, struggling developers actually have to sell something to pay to keep the lights on, can't compete. Another lot on the dole queue, popping anti depressants, wondering why they're dreams died. Oh well, no life no matter, there's a free shooter they can look forward to. Mark my words, in ten years, we'll be surrounded by free games, played on rent-a-hour cloud servers, while we wait for big Macs to get delivered on the back of some drone, digitally imitating to fight in battles our grand parents fought in. 9/10 who read this will just think I'm crazy and they're the ones who most need to understand their world is being destroyed and replaced with a "free" digital one. Guys this is why half the kids of today are medicated you the eye balls. We're but supposed to live like this, the future is horrific!
@@CameTo ok so big macs delievered by drone sounds kind of cool ngl at least initally. whats wrong with free games? and how would you have people live differently if everything is going to be so dark? I mean maybe you're right but crying while we are in the present and can change the future still, you complaining about the future without fixing the present idk it just seems a waste of time xd
The gaming space needs more of this, great job here, I believe my FPS days are in the past but this is sure a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work.
I don't have enough time to dedicate getting good and be competitive in an fps game anymore, the Half Life mods like Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Counter Strike were the glory days for me.
This honestly feels like a mix of Rising storm Vietnam and Squad but a more unpolished incomplete version. It doesn’t have the graphics of Squad or mechanics. This needs a lot more work. HOWEVER, for a free game this is massive.
Reminds me of the LAN Partys i had with my friends playing BF:Vietnam vs a ton of bots all night and trying to capture all bases while blasting Fortunate Son from one of the transport choppers! That was an absolute blast.
You said what the young me has been begging for since SOCOM was cancelled. This third person mod, in conjunction with your one life mod, is going to be sick! I have been enjoying my experience so far. I cant wait until you add the vehicles. Thank you all who have participated in making this game happen.
@@its_butterrswhat’s there to fall for exactly? It’s free, if you don’t like it you can uninstall and forget about it. Squad sold out to tencent so pretty sure there’s a lot more to “fall for” if you buy that game now.
I look forward to playing this and hopefully growing the attention and attraction to this game! It reminds me of how games used to be, and I miss that! Thank you for your game!
@@Bushlore1 Because this game is broken and lacking in content with no new updates despite there being obvious glaring issues that should have been dealt with already. (NO ANTI CHEAT ON YOUR FREE GAME NOT EVEN A VOTE KICK OR ADMIN TOOLS) This game has been out for a month in this barebones state with nothing but hotfixes. S&box is right around the corner and will offer everything these guys hope to offer but with a team that has actual experience and you get access to Source2 with a better easier development kit. These guys are tools who don't realize that they are going to be lambasted as "REMEMBER WHEN DA FPS COMMUNITY MADE DER OWN GAME AND IT WUZ BAD LOL."
never heard of this until now. WOW the potential here is insane! like a new arma sandbox. really incredible, you guys. love this and love how real and up front you are with the project. edit: ive been playing like non stop. even the vanilla game has quite a bit of content. i particularly love the WW1 map and especially at night- its crazy immersive. this game is already amazing and better than reforger LOL
A. You’re a true dev with passion that’s facing the grit of producing a game like a champ. B. This is a hardcore shooter and uhhh it’s in the rice fields…how cool is that. C it’s open source so I see this as a possible new era to Counter Strike. I’m a 90s fps vet so I can say that with actual street cred. Good job on it and thank you for bringing in passion to gaming again. The community needs it badly and I think independent producers like you will bring a new era to FPS.
@@SexStarize I said it can be a “possible new era CS”. Meaning it has potential to be similar in style and greatness. CS was simple, two teams, decent range of weapons, arcade style but large enough maps to be tactical too, no loot, no micro transactions, just shoot, kill, trash talk, have fun.
Never heard of this game until UA-cam recommended this video to me. Looks pretty cool and the devs seem like great people. I’ll definitely be checking it out!
@Sharkie wheres the proof of this "Ive heard of workshop mods" part either? You cant just assert some relatability with no source then ask for a source to the comment you are replying to.
Truly a revolutionary idea. Love it! I'm glad your expectations and transparency are very reasonable, it's refreshing that you are clearly community oriented and honest about what to expect and what your goals are, and are sticking to your guns. Super cool idea and I can't wait to play all the amazing things people come up with!
ngl I really suck at fps games but I will download and play to support you guys, because you have morals and honesty which AAA companies have cast to the wayside, thank you for the straightforward integrity, it's in short supply these days.
Honestly this game isn't super hard in the single player mode which is really good for accessibility when it comes to players like us, I'm also generally garbage at FPS games but can get along quite well in this
Hello, fellow game developer here, i just want to say, congratulations on such a great launch. Your team has a clear cut idea of what you want your game to be and that will be integral to your success. This is definitely the type of game i can see myself playing with friends when you just want to kick back and have a good time, similar to insurgency sandstorm in some ways but with a more true to life feel about it. What i will say is to take up a "the customer isnt right very often" approach, listen to feedback, but with a pinch of salt, the guy who wanted a battlepass for example? does he really think running around with a pink MG is going to make his gameplay experience better? The casual audience dominates the gaming market currently and they ruin a lot of triple A titles for the dedicated / competitve audiences, which for you and developers like you means you have a massive gap in the market for dedicated players. Casual players dont even know what they want in games, the amount of times ive seen casual players of games complain to have something changed, only to get it changed and complain about it even still, its best not to listen to such people or let it drown out the voices of people who can see your teams vision. i hope to see more about your game and pray for its success, good luck to you and your team
>"the guy who wanted a battlepass for example?" There are now gamers who are like what 18? Who may have only ever known Free-To-Play and Micro-transactions. This to them could be the norm, I hope we don't end up with it being the hailed model for games in the decades to come.
@@master0fnone i hadnt thought about it like that, now i feel old despite only being 20 hhahah i do think youre right on the mark however, kids were brought up on that model, they might not know any better, this is the gaming equivalent of our parents telling us to go outside and enjoy ourselves but instead we sat playing our consoles, perhaps they will never know what theyre missing out on, thinking about it like that saddens me a little i think it could also be the gaming curve that all gamers experience, where you go through your honeymoon phase but come out of it thinking maybe you dont enjoy video games, when in actuality youre just longing for a different experience, or perhaps in this case something with more life and love behind it, i know after my honeymoon phase i pulled away from these triple A games that pushed microtransactions and the works to more simple things, experiences, valheim for example is a title i have fallen in love with as of late id like to assume that even these new gen gamers will eventually come out of the honeymoon phase of microtransactions and battlepasses to find games like valheim, maybe even going back to visit old classics like nier automata etc
I am 100% impressed. I love to see you and your team work on this over the past few. 👏 This is incredible to see a small community bust out with such an awesome complex game on a self funded budget. Very, very cool. 😎
@@tiramija3894 Slowest shooter I've played in a couple of years, vaulting is glitchy and slow as fuck, full of cheaters. Really rooting for this game, but if I compare it to how Shatterline launched, its kinda crappy
Don't have a PC. Don't play FPS games much any more. However, I applaud the effort and passion on display here. This is a lot of work, coordination, time invested here. I hope you guys keep the momentum and get to a full launch. Keep it up!
you had me at free. As someone who is really bummed with how overly monetized many AAA shooters and the game play suffers because of it. Im excited to check it out
Congrats on the release! Great work and it looks amazing. It must be really hard to compete with all the variety of fps titles out there but this looks promising.
To me it feels there's way too many similar looking shooters out: Squad, ArmA, Ground Branch, Insurgency Sandstorm, Post Scriptum, Hell Let Loose, Rising Storm, to name a few. Then there are the big names like BF, CoD, CS. The bad thing of this is, the more such games are, the more the player base will be spread out and the faster some games die.
absolutely love how tactical and active this feels and looks, bullets flying everywhere but theyre not hitting you, because everybody uses supressing fire over long distances, imo that looks really good and i cant say ive been waiting for a game like that, but im glad it's here, really gives me the vibes of early Planetside 2 days with tens of players shooting everywhere
I've played the game since last week. I played OHD for a few hours and I have to say, it's a solid game; it is amazing. The game has potential, but there are definitely some areas that need improvement. The maps were fun to play but could use more variety. The gunplay was decent, but not entirely realistic. OHD is a great game for those who enjoy tactical shooters. Although, the single-player mode was disappointing, with overpowered AI and issues playing as a sniper. However, I would argue that this would only get better with time. I hope over time they would continue to improve single-player for people like me who prefer single-player over multiplayer modes. The multiplayer was fun, but there weren't enough servers available. Mod support was good, but it can be confusing to use. Overall, a decent game with some flaws that could be improved upon with further development. Thank you for making this game a reality. Like I said, this game is amazing, and I highly recommend it.
When you say free, my expectations are dropped considerably, and this is an amazing game to be out for free. Definitely will be giving this game a shot, keep up the great work guys, really excited to see where this goes
game is too empty and full of cheaters. despite all the critism they refused to add a anticheat and it backfired now. Now they're adding one but its alr too late. For a community driven Shooter thats just stupid. If everyone tells you to do something you might listen
@@suncrilearoshoubi7196 because 9/10 is just a scam. A shitty moneygrab to get money of people who don't know any better. But to be fair GTA is also part of that bullshit. I have no issue with buyable cosmetics (NO LOOTBOX SYSTEM!!!). The issue starts when they charge money for items which make playing a game easier. The worst part even is when it is randomized so it basically becomes gambling. Do you endorse gambling unmonitored? Cause that is basically what that is.
@@notcreative2256 A game releasing makes it viable to be criticized. They made a lot of bad decisions and released an unfinished game. They didnt listen to the community and thats why so many people are dissatisfied resulting in the criticism you see here and on its steam page. Read through the reviews there are some that explain everything perfectly on what went wrong and what needs to be fixed
From what i can see, half of the negative feedback is due lack of content, which for a community driven game is fine. The issue is with the other half of complaints which is almost exclusively due to a lack of anticheat and a vote kick system. Either will help solve the problem but some kind of fix is a pretty necessary step for a functioning game. In all honesty im holding off playing until the game seems playable and has content
Congratulations to you and your team and everybody you're working with. I'm looking forward to getting off of work, running home downloading and jumping in. I have an open mind... I've been playing another game that is an alpha and I can understand the pain of early release Beta alpha type games so I'm looking forward to the experience, my expectations , I think reasonable and I wish you all the best of luck. I hope it becomes my new favorite.
Amazing work on the game, I only just found it and absolutely adore it. I can't put into words how much I enjoy the game other than it captures the best feeling parts of my favourite multiplayer experience "Battlefield 2" with some of the flourishes of tactical FPSs I've come to enjoy, that's to say I love every part of this game. I never took the time to play "Project Reality" but even if I did I reckon I'd prefer this; I already have "ARMA" & "Squad". Before I found "Insurgency" I thought the more pure tacticool shooter didn't exist and now with "Operation: Harsh Door Stop" there's one I like even more. I can't thank you enough for making such a great game and doubley so for making it free, this game is absolutely worth charging for but the fact it was free gave me a chance to try something I was unsure about and I'm so glad I did. Personally, I'm going to try and recommend this game whenever I get the chance. Thank you Bluedrake42 and all the other people that made this possible working under Drakeling Labs, you've all made an amazing game.
Kudos and congratulations on getting the base game out. Looking forward to tooling around in it later this month when I have the time. Keep up the good work !
The third person mod looks amazing. SOCOM was my first online shooter experience ever on PS2 and this mod has serious SOCOM vibes and brings back great memories. I think this game has potential to be incredible with the help of a passionate community that will continue to grow in the future without a doubt. Mad respect to Bluedrake and everyone pitching in on this project ❤️.

I appreciate the humbleness of what to expect, and the emphasis on crowd funding/ community support and accessibility over mainstream appeal and monetization. I’ll definitely be checking this game out
Hey Bro, I am learning unreal engine from the past year. And I learned blueprints, anim bp, blendspace, fx and etc (almost everything) and I understand how hard you and your team must have worked for this game. Good work on everything, specially the Hud
yo wtf, well, first of all, so much thank you, this is EXACTLY the game I always wanted. But I never thought anyone would do this. I'm overwhelmed by this deed of yours. My eyes get slight watery when I'm overwhlmed and oh my this has done it for me. wtf man you're not supposed to make an actual good game without a flaw. Kudos to you
@@JACpotatos i meant flaws as in the corporate dirty schemes. Like battle pass, ridiculous price etc. I dont consider graphics and bugs as flaws because those things exist alongside every game so its pointless to consider the omnipotent
This dude is the best developer I've ever heard speak. He's so honest about his project. like saying how it's not Triple A, and it's not overly popular, but everything is going as they planned and there are future tools (which they actually show).
I really like this style of video for the type of game it is. I think you releasing updates on "cool mods" for the game periodically would be a good idea to keep the project moving and relevant over time. Some of those mods already look pretty nifty.
This is one of the best initiative that i have seen in the last decade in the gaming industry, an idea/base game and tools given to the community, all you have to be is creative and put your imagination to work... infinite possibilities at zero cost. Congrats by doing this and showing AAAAAAA companies that the games should be fun and not all about the money always! Keep going!
Man thank you, honestly I'm blown away by how great this game is and the fact you made it free just makes it sweeter. Congratulations to you and your team for bringing this to us and I look forward to seeing how this develops over the coming year. I also hope this impacts the industry and makes Devs think twice about making us pay for rushed and or unfinished content when there are teams such as yours who can bring us gold like this for free. Bloody well done 😃
Ive been playing since it was available to play this month and i have to say im impressed by whats on offer here. Ive been following the updates here on this channel and in no way was it over hyped. I knew going in this would be more of a "platform" for a tactical shooter than a full game and on that aspect im not disappointed. I feel like everyone involved with the project should be proud of what they have created. This game has a lot of potential and from the outset the goal was to create a platform for free that anyone could join if they were looking for a tactical shooter experience, or those who are interested in games like Ground Branch, Squad, Hell Let Loose or the other great games of the tactical shooter variety. I feel like the community support and modding community will turn this game into something special. And as someone who grew up with no internet and playing against bots im really impressed by the single player mode thats on offer here. In general the base game is bare bones but with a solid foundation, and I fully believe in the vision that the devs have for this game and really hope that in the future this platform is embraced by the TS community and great content gets made for it. I wish Bluedrake and the dev team for OHD all the best. Im really glad in a market where gamers are lied to and taken advantage of, you all stayed true to what you said you would set out to do and what you have created reflects what you said you would create.
@@quadconjures I mean first of all it is free. Secondly it's got an actual proper singleplayer instead of solo map exploring and no AI. And finally it's probably not got the same systems as squad. The mod gameplay shown helis, tanks and logi trucks but the standalone? I don't know if it's in there. It's less of an overall team co-op and more of a large team shooter game.
@@OnlyGrafting I think you're confusing squad with Arma or insurgency? Squad has a huge overlap with all of those features, on top of very similar visual, audio, map, and game play design That's why I was asking, they're very very similar. Not trying to insult the game, just curious.
I loved the demo and I'm fully looking forward to creating mods for it asap! Super cool to see a group of homies launch their own game. Keep us updated!
I'm already working on a mod that lets you fart in game , working on the sound effects now, and modding textures for realistic looking poo poo that will drop from the bumhole
I hope this development team keeps the same energy they have now all the way down the road. I’m thinking of giving this game a shot just to have something different to play.. possibly with my buddies. If this game looks like this video does, I’m down to sacrifice the qualities of a AAA game
The game is too janky, too empty, too unfinished to be released. They ignored everyone and did it anyways. What we're left with is a boringly generic and janky military shooter with the hopes that modders will save the game and make it... Fun.
@@rtsrt165 i think this is an amazing idea, developing a game as a community effort. thanks to modding this game lots of possibilities, like the 3rd person option shown in the video, can be explored. i wouldn't expect it to entertain me for more than a few hours but i'll just check it out again in a month.
@@seanhdka It's laziness, you can call it a community driven game all you like, it's just laziness. Yes it's a free game, that doesn't excuse laziness nor does it make them immune to criticism. The "why are you complaining it's a free game lmao!" argument is so silly because ANYTHING put out into a public market is fair grounds for criticism, free or paid.
I am extremely excited for this game. And I just now found out about it from this video. You seem to be going against the grain with a sort of 'screw battlepasses' take. So I, and probably many others. Hope that this is an ideal that holds later on down the line. And that this game doesn't end up as just another abandoned project for the pile. Stay strong OHD devs.
Congratulations on the release of OHD! Will try it out when I get the chance.
I'm looking forward to what the modding community will come up with.
Awesome to see you here man, can't believe you're still active after all this time.
Mortal engines (and other postapo) style maps are in progress 🤷🏼♂️
@@Bluedrake42 I'm always here man, lurking from the shadows ;-).
Been following OHD for quite some time and I think it has some true potential. Just gotta see it as a bigass sandbox game that you can turn into any kind of shooter. As time goes by and more stuff gets developed, you end up with a base game that's fun as well as unlimited mods that are fun for many others.
Hang in there, together with your team and go after this dream of yours (and many others for that matter). It'll be rough and there will be plenty of bad reviews, but you gotta look further than what you see on the screen.
Seriously, this has great potential 💪🏻
@@Bluedrake42 will it be on consoles?
@@AfterDune You're such an awesome dude man. Thank you so much for being who you are. I've always appreciated your influence on the Project Reality community and beyond. You've been a guiding hand for so many of us for so long. Means a lot to me that you're here to see us launch.
Devs: Release game for free with all content included
That one guy: Why isnt there a season pass? This is stupid.
Im guessing that over the years for some people 'season pass' equals to cross-match progression. It is really sad, but not surprising.
That guy is a living meme
It's even more stupid to not include anticheat into the game and blame community to make this by their own
@@karmens831 is that actually what they did… LOL
@@karmens831On DayZ you're less likely to encounter cheaters on community servers BECAUSE the community polices their own servers.
This is the new reality if you arent a multimillion dollar company.
The only downside to the game right now, is having to listen to these kinds of complaints.
I guess since DayZ is working better now, there's nowhere else for peopl like this to go and whine.
You can tell the old school FPS players, because they would absolutely love it. No achievements, no ranking system, no battle passes, no lootboxes, no storyline, just fun. This is what CounterStrike was like in its golden era
I'm loving the idea
I’m retro as it gets but one thing I really wish it had achievements. Doesn’t affect gameplay besides having some extra stuff to get.
Way less cheaters back then as well and games usually had a kick option at least.
@@dameanic11 lol, wrong. CS had tons of cheaters in the early days. Cheating has been really clamped down on in the last 10 years.
As a game dev currently in school I got mad respect for this! Downloading now
Great game, can't wait for the long awaited sequel, Operation Gentle Windowstart
Gasssssss 🤣🤣🤣

*Mission Gentle Windowstart
This is an incredible start. I remember watching bluedrake about 2 or so years ago talking about getting something like this done. It's so impressive to see where you and the team have taken the dream blue.
BUILD IT and they will come
I think we are slowly in a time were a new generation is getting old enough to buy and play games for themselves - and they grew up with battlepasses, skins and live service, the dark era of gaming. I am 27 and I still long for the day of games like paraworld, rise and fall or even the older need for speed games. Just a CD, no bullsht, just a finished game.
Your game is different but it still holds this feeling of being a genuine game of passion. I respect that!
Same and you are right. Kids today will never get to experience all the good games, couch co-op, movies, shows, etc... that we did. Games took a wrong turn about ten years ago.
"Dark era of gaming" well put. The kids think thats how it has to be. Made me quit lot of gaming more than 10 years ago. Battlepasses are crap. Lootboxes are pure poison. I will check this game out, seems to be more in my street.
@@AllanoizTM I would rather have loot boxes than the battle pass, look at overwatch 2
Yeah, the "Desire for BattlePass" really is the result of a stunted FPS player base. They seem to like the fact that there is timed access to certain things, which is a broken mindset when it comes to gaming to begin with...
I congratulate the OHD Team on building past this insidious money making scheme. Keep up the great work!
I completely agree with this. I couldn't imagine having played Final Fantasy X and feeling the same connection I do with the game if I had to keep buying DLCs, skins and battle passes and Square Enix online subscriptions.
This is what we need. The community stepping up thanks to the tyranical nature that the AAA companies have adopted. I will support you and people like you forever. Just don't lose track this.
It's not really tyranical, they ain't forcing anyone. It's just that people still support/ed it so they keep doing it. Once more games like this one come out the companies will have to adapt. Nothing tyranical about this. Just supply and demand and competition at work.
Yes. Stick it to EA. For ruining need for speed, conmand and conquer and dead space. An F Activison too. Greedy fs
@@baph0met fr we have no one to blame but ourselves for these prices (i bought MW2 and i regret being born, those 2 are unrelated tho)
Agree! this is the power of community fighting back against corporations. When the orientation is not profit only good things can happen
@@baph0met People don't "support" those types of games, it's the fact that there isn't anything else right now. People are looking for new games, a lot of people don't just stick to 2 games and never play anything else, the causal consummer isn't at fault, the misrepresented, over promised and "We'll fix it later" mentaility is what's killing games right now.
Theres a large difference between support and doing something because there is literally nothing else that specifically suits what you want.
Had the privilege of testing it, while the game lacks some polish, it is beyond phenomenal especially for free, the modding environment, and community than came to help bring this to life also is a big part, I've spent hours already, and am ready to play some more!
Agreed now I need to update my pc to keep up 😅
I feel like games created as modding environments are underrated. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of this!
fr. Gmod has been so popular for long enough that Garry is making a sort of gmod 2 named S&box
I'm surpised this sort of thing hasn't popped up sooner
Depends on how much creative freedom you have like Skyrim for example, it's very big like i think you can mod every aspect of that game now and pretty much Bethesda games in general. CD Projekt Red is working on it but i don't think there's much modders can do with that game without their brains exploding coz i heard its really hard then theres Rimworld, Factorio and modders had a fun time making those coz i remember when Rimworld was in development and there were modders already and Tynan gave them the green light to expand and it did "i remember Tynan's selling pitch is he was one of the devs on Bioshock infinite something lol, he made a gem though so madlad of him". Minecraft, it was slow for that one but then it just expanded exponentially out of nowhere and i don't even know how it started coz i played Minecraft when it was on beta :D good times.
Oh i forgot about the FATHER of all Modded Games WARCRAFT. The idea was simple, game modes. Alot of the games today are inspired and born there like Dota which gave birth to DOTA 2 and League of Legends, Tower Defense "Like every tower defense you see now" and lots more "Not totally sure if they were born there but thats where i first found such games. So they all have one thing in common, the creative freedom you can do with it and how friendly the game is to be modded.
Edit: Just so people that read this have an idea how long its been is i played Dota when my country only had Dial Up Internet and and we played Dota on LAN only where we trash talk each other in person "Yes, alot of fights started from that game. I remember getting hit by a flying chair once and threw one back and yeah we were banned from that cafe and my bois and the enemy team we just laughed outside like nothing happened." some even get stabbed playing that game on Lan lol. CounterStrike 2 was booming too on LAN and BTW this is somewhere in ASIA so Internet was really late like year 2000 and we have DOTA was booming at 2003 like right when it got release it was wild "game had potential from the jump".
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ you lost kiddo?

Majority of us that are loving the game are coming from the older gamers. The ones who actually played BF1942 and CoD 2 Search and Destroy. We come from the days of eve of destruction and desert combat. We come from the days of early Project Reality. Bluedrake, we are loving this, me and all my buddies who have been in the online scene for over 20 years. This is what gaming was. This is making gaming great again. I genuinely feel that way. I played 10 hours straight last night and after i do my daily responsibilities you bet your butt ill be on again!
I miss the first years of playing games those were the days, I was definitely not old enough for bf1942 but I played from mw2 and on those lobbies where the funniest of all time I gotta say
Desert Combat...so ahead of it's time. So missed.

The game is doing poorly on steam.
@@morphkogan8627 What are you talking about, you are the game maker with a game like this. YOU make the mods you want.
its not that simple..sometimes what players want isnt always best for the game
I see this going 1 of 2 ways.
1. They stick to their word and keep it free, community updated and all that jazz..
2. They finally realize there is money to be made, battlepass comes in, cosmetic store comes in and weapon store comes in.
Lets hope that its #1, because this game has potential.
I think cosmetics and skins are fine. Look at league of legends or CSGO or any game that is F2P but not P2W. It’s all about skill and has cosmetics do nothing but pay the devs.
game is still normal
i mean a shop isnt bad thats how they make money or just stuff to buy on steam, keeping it free and a mod steam client is key yes
Heard this game is pretty dead as of now@@Runi_Sensei

Man..what a genius idea. I love the idea of a small development company releasing a strong foundation to the community for free and letting the community help and even BECOME A MEMBER of the development team in creating the vision of OHDS through workshop support.
As a development team / community relationship, it doesn’t get more personal than that.
Looking forward to seeing what happens. Congrats guys.

Sounds lazy.

@@noonyabeezniss4911 Should get a Matrix server / channel, bitches love Matrix.
If anyone is curious about a non-biased opinion on the game. A legit review from a player. Here it is:
-Little to no player base. 2 Server about 90% full most days
-Game already has Tarkov level cheaters despite only being out for 4 months. This amplified further because of the already tiny player base. Some games, one guy will end the match with 150/0 K/D, meanwhile the average I’ve seen for most people is anywhere between 10-20
-Despite have 200+ hours on the game, I’ve played the same 2 maps for most of that time. Map rotation is existent, but seems not be random.
-No incentive to work as a team, most matches just end up being one big mash where one teams caps a point a defends it perfectly for 30 mins. Giving them the win by default.
-Gun play is on par with other military sim fps, shooting weaponry feels meaningful
-The maps I did get to play were enjoyable and VERY diverse. Jungles, Desert, Urban, etc.
Overall, I get the game is in the works. I know it’s free. I know it’s YOUR game and you love it. Honestly, it’s better than what most people can make. That being said, it’s FAR FAR FAR away from being even playable. And most people will get everything they want out of your game by just playing Squad or Insurgency now, rather than 5 years from now.
as a solo game dev I 100% commemorate your work and fully support what you are doing.

I was playing yesterday and saw you on the other team briefly BD. This is literally the most exciting gaming project I have ever seen. Literally infinite potential!
I played it for about an hour yesterday and I had a good time. I really appreciate the fact it has single player for someone like me who isn't always looking to play multiplayer games.
This game gives me the satisfaction of playing a MP like game in single player so I don't have to deal with factors like lag and real people.
I wish the best for this game :)
Seeing how development on games works from the ground up and how difficult the coding and generally the whole process can be, I have a deep appreciation for many types of games. This one looks awesome and I'd be proud that it's gotten this far! Looks very good for a smaller team and only going to keep getting better.
This project is gonna change the whole FPS experience for me. In my opinion OHD is one of the best project to watch grow and evolve. I really want to play the zombie mode.

And today we really have everything to make games, blueprint based engines, steam supported servers, workshops etc. Even one man projects can be soo good…
AND now we have an example of what an (awesome) youtuber can achive if he wants!
So far I have been really enjoying OHD!

Not to say it's doomed, that just comes down to having skilled devs who believe in the project.
love to intern for the dead on arrival squad ripoff
I have an idea! You should add (in my opinion) a custom loadout feature, here’s how it would work: in the menu there would be a LOADOUT section where you could modify your guns and choose guns to use in the battlefield, but if you wanted you could still play with the default classes. Btw THESE GAME SOUNDS ARE F*CKING AWESOME!!!!!
Only if the squad leader were able to make those custom classes. Because imagine me with medkit, AT-4, Javelin, and a Sniper at my bag running around. The thing is, the classes are made that way to give a balance to the game. Im not sure how would you enforce that balance giving players the ability to make custom classes.
@@RenanMsV_YT Take inspiration from Insurgency. Specific classes with good customization.
I think it should be more like ground branch... 1 primary 1 secondary and 1 special with custom belt plate carrier etc
Personally, I would prefer a loadout style like Takov, where you can modify guns and clothing for a raid, but rather into specific slots instead of inventory for this game. Without a stash of course and with the ability to safe loudouts. You could grind for new stock guns, mods, camos, more slots and further equipment etc. for those who want that.
Why not have ALL THESE OPTIONS and make them related to gamemode instead? Realism mode with Squad-like weapons, Casual mode with Battlefield-like loadout, Extract mode with Tarkov-like loadout, Semi-Realistic mode with Insurgency-like loadout.
Every battle pass I’ve ever played feels like a monotonous replacement for in-game challenges and rewards from a ranking system. Looks like a great game!
try deep rock galactic
its performance pass is the only time ive ever seen a "season" pass done right
no way to pay, not grindy and all content at the end of the season gets added to the loot pool to earn at anytime

I don't have enough time to dedicate getting good and be competitive in an fps game anymore, the Half Life mods like Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Counter Strike were the glory days for me.
@@00Clive00 you don't have to be super competetive, I just go in and shoot stuff.
The fact this game is free AND has mod support is a dream come true
This honestly feels like a mix of Rising storm Vietnam and Squad but a more unpolished incomplete version. It doesn’t have the graphics of Squad or mechanics. This needs a lot more work. HOWEVER, for a free game this is massive.
Reminds me of the LAN Partys i had with my friends playing BF:Vietnam vs a ton of bots all night and trying to capture all bases while blasting Fortunate Son from one of the transport choppers! That was an absolute blast.
When you could do this in bf3-bf4 2010-2018. Great fps times. She's slowly dying out now.
BF Vietnam was amazing back in the day
Dude I loved all the old battlefields from vietnam and to bf2 the ORIGINAL and all the spec ops versions.
@@MonsterHDE desert combat was awesome. good times, bf2 had the most ridiculous auto shotgun. cannon.
This is still happening in Arma 3, the online community is doing this to this day.
You said what the young me has been begging for since SOCOM was cancelled. This third person mod, in conjunction with your one life mod, is going to be sick! I have been enjoying my experience so far. I cant wait until you add the vehicles. Thank you all who have participated in making this game happen.
SOCOM
The word socom brings back so many beautiful late night memories into my nostalgic mind 😌 ty
When I saw so many great mods on steam workshop just one hour after the release i was amazed by this community.
They were just moved from the OHD website to the steam workshop.
@@BusinessWolf1yeah people can’t use their brains
yall gonna fall for the barebones squad with mods 🤣
@@its_butterrswhat’s there to fall for exactly? It’s free, if you don’t like it you can uninstall and forget about it. Squad sold out to tencent so pretty sure there’s a lot more to “fall for” if you buy that game now.
@@its_butterrs When squad went into early access it was more barebones than OHD is.
I look forward to playing this and hopefully growing the attention and attraction to this game! It reminds me of how games used to be, and I miss that! Thank you for your game!
I can't wait to play with this. The workshop freedom is looking really promising!
It's not good, it's just a clone of squad
@@hx2975 and? go play squad then
@hello That would be absolutely stupid lmao.
Why do so many nay sayers have to show up? Let them go play COD and other broken pointless games. Jsolidd I am with you, stoked and ready to dive in!
@@Bushlore1 Because this game is broken and lacking in content with no new updates despite there being obvious glaring issues that should have been dealt with already. (NO ANTI CHEAT ON YOUR FREE GAME NOT EVEN A VOTE KICK OR ADMIN TOOLS) This game has been out for a month in this barebones state with nothing but hotfixes. S&box is right around the corner and will offer everything these guys hope to offer but with a team that has actual experience and you get access to Source2 with a better easier development kit. These guys are tools who don't realize that they are going to be lambasted as "REMEMBER WHEN DA FPS COMMUNITY MADE DER OWN GAME AND IT WUZ BAD LOL."
Basically the definition of "this is why we have nice things". Thank you for working so hard on this.
never heard of this until now. WOW the potential here is insane! like a new arma sandbox. really incredible, you guys. love this and love how real and up front you are with the project.
edit: ive been playing like non stop. even the vanilla game has quite a bit of content. i particularly love the WW1 map and especially at night- its crazy immersive. this game is already amazing and better than reforger LOL
I hope you continue to update and develop the game. I'll gladly help support future development however possible. You are a legend!!
A. You’re a true dev with passion that’s facing the grit of producing a game like a champ. B. This is a hardcore shooter and uhhh it’s in the rice fields…how cool is that. C it’s open source so I see this as a possible new era to Counter Strike. I’m a 90s fps vet so I can say that with actual street cred.
Good job on it and thank you for bringing in passion to gaming again. The community needs it badly and I think independent producers like you will bring a new era to FPS.
How can you compare something as good and ancient like CS with this?
@@SexStarize I said it can be a “possible new era CS”. Meaning it has potential to be similar in style and greatness. CS was simple, two teams, decent range of weapons, arcade style but large enough maps to be tactical too, no loot, no micro transactions, just shoot, kill, trash talk, have fun.
@@thegrayjedi5202 that’s why it’s a god game 1.6 was the best game I ever played as a kid
Anyone knows what engine they are using in this game?
@@Edio47 unity i think
Never heard of this game until UA-cam recommended this video to me. Looks pretty cool and the devs seem like great people. I’ll definitely be checking it out!
its really broken and janky and completely full of hackers, not worth it at all
I think he reposted this video, i remember watching this a while ago
@Sharkie wheres the proof of this "Ive heard of workshop mods" part either? You cant just assert some relatability with no source then ask for a source to the comment you are replying to.
Truly a revolutionary idea. Love it! I'm glad your expectations and transparency are very reasonable, it's refreshing that you are clearly community oriented and honest about what to expect and what your goals are, and are sticking to your guns. Super cool idea and I can't wait to play all the amazing things people come up with!
You were the one back then, who brought me to project Reality and i need you to thank you for that. I hope the best for OHD
ngl I really suck at fps games but I will download and play to support you guys, because you have morals and honesty which AAA companies have cast to the wayside, thank you for the straightforward integrity, it's in short supply these days.
This is very well put and exactly represents how I feel, besides the bad part, I’m cracked 😂
Honestly this game isn't super hard in the single player mode which is really good for accessibility when it comes to players like us, I'm also generally garbage at FPS games but can get along quite well in this
:D this is my first time hearing about this. This sounds amazing!
Hello, fellow game developer here, i just want to say, congratulations on such a great launch.
Your team has a clear cut idea of what you want your game to be and that will be integral to your success.
This is definitely the type of game i can see myself playing with friends when you just want to kick back and have a good time, similar to insurgency sandstorm in some ways but with a more true to life feel about it.
What i will say is to take up a "the customer isnt right very often" approach, listen to feedback, but with a pinch of salt, the guy who wanted a battlepass for example? does he really think running around with a pink MG is going to make his gameplay experience better?
The casual audience dominates the gaming market currently and they ruin a lot of triple A titles for the dedicated / competitve audiences, which for you and developers like you means you have a massive gap in the market for dedicated players.
Casual players dont even know what they want in games, the amount of times ive seen casual players of games complain to have something changed, only to get it changed and complain about it even still, its best not to listen to such people or let it drown out the voices of people who can see your teams vision.
i hope to see more about your game and pray for its success, good luck to you and your team
>"the guy who wanted a battlepass for example?"
There are now gamers who are like what 18? Who may have only ever known Free-To-Play and Micro-transactions. This to them could be the norm, I hope we don't end up with it being the hailed model for games in the decades to come.
@@master0fnone i hadnt thought about it like that, now i feel old despite only being 20 hhahah
i do think youre right on the mark however, kids were brought up on that model, they might not know any better, this is the gaming equivalent of our parents telling us to go outside and enjoy ourselves but instead we sat playing our consoles, perhaps they will never know what theyre missing out on, thinking about it like that saddens me a little
i think it could also be the gaming curve that all gamers experience, where you go through your honeymoon phase but come out of it thinking maybe you dont enjoy video games, when in actuality youre just longing for a different experience, or perhaps in this case something with more life and love behind it, i know after my honeymoon phase i pulled away from these triple A games that pushed microtransactions and the works to more simple things, experiences, valheim for example is a title i have fallen in love with as of late
id like to assume that even these new gen gamers will eventually come out of the honeymoon phase of microtransactions and battlepasses to find games like valheim, maybe even going back to visit old classics like nier automata etc
@@master0fnone I think 18 is still old enough to have grown up with games that didn't have these business models.
I am 100% impressed. I love to see you and your team work on this over the past few. 👏 This is incredible to see a small community bust out with such an awesome complex game on a self funded budget. Very, very cool. 😎
Very, very cool. 😎
Just now hearing about it, looks awesome. I hope you keep making the game bigger and better and not scrap it!
its full of cheaters, no anti cheat needed the community manager said
@@tiramija3894 Slowest shooter I've played in a couple of years, vaulting is glitchy and slow as fuck, full of cheaters. Really rooting for this game, but if I compare it to how Shatterline launched, its kinda crappy
These games can only survive on whitelist servers with active admins with a battlebit remastered voting type system!
Don't have a PC. Don't play FPS games much any more. However, I applaud the effort and passion on display here. This is a lot of work, coordination, time invested here. I hope you guys keep the momentum and get to a full launch. Keep it up!

@@esongiba we found another one boys, light em up
@gameringdudeguy1126 🤷♂️ I've also noticed the devs are more interested in programming mods rather than the base game
Look into insurgency too if you haven’t. Another fun shooter similar to this feeling
I'm in! I love when independent studios have projects like this.
Congrats on the release! Great work and it looks amazing. It must be really hard to compete with all the variety of fps titles out there but this looks promising.
That game needs to be supported for the man hours and the philosophy it’s designed upon. Great job guys I really hope it’ll soar
I'm gonna download it right now.
its crap af, not worth it, just a featureless shooter
To me it feels there's way too many similar looking shooters out:
Squad, ArmA, Ground Branch, Insurgency Sandstorm, Post Scriptum, Hell Let Loose, Rising Storm, to name a few.
Then there are the big names like BF, CoD, CS.
The bad thing of this is, the more such games are, the more the player base will be spread out and the faster some games die.
@@AdioAurel BF, CoD, CS....With those shitty games dying we are happy...
@@leonmart6719 cs is not a shitty game what are you on
this is exciting to see, props to you guys for building this

Oh man I'm so looking into this after work today!
0:34 Bluedrake, that Guy wasn't Brainwashed, he was *Braindead*
I hope someone makes a meme mod about that on the workshop. A DLC mod where you have to play for 9000 hours to unlock the first weapon skin.
absolutely love how tactical and active this feels and looks, bullets flying everywhere but theyre not hitting you, because everybody uses supressing fire over long distances, imo that looks really good and i cant say ive been waiting for a game like that, but im glad it's here, really gives me the vibes of early Planetside 2 days with tens of players shooting everywhere
I've played the game since last week. I played OHD for a few hours and I have to say, it's a solid game; it is amazing.
The game has potential, but there are definitely some areas that need improvement. The maps were fun to play but could use more variety. The gunplay was decent, but not entirely realistic.
OHD is a great game for those who enjoy tactical shooters. Although, the single-player mode was disappointing, with overpowered AI and issues playing as a sniper. However, I would argue that this would only get better with time. I hope over time they would continue to improve single-player for people like me who prefer single-player over multiplayer modes.
The multiplayer was fun, but there weren't enough servers available. Mod support was good, but it can be confusing to use. Overall, a decent game with some flaws that could be improved upon with further development. Thank you for making this game a reality. Like I said, this game is amazing, and I highly recommend it.
Fancy finding you here, Lost Gamer. I went on a viewing spree of your channel and now I find your comments littered everywhere
@@zanahorianaranja9724 I like to lurk in the depths of UA-cam. If you play OHD, invite me next time! Hopefully we can find a server.
I think server's ok now. This game is a gem. I've commented my steam invite link in one of your videos. lmk if you're down to play.
After minutes and heard about future development. Ill wait another 10 years till this game is complete
If I could play this game right now, I would, great job man
When you say free, my expectations are dropped considerably, and this is an amazing game to be out for free. Definitely will be giving this game a shot, keep up the great work guys, really excited to see where this goes
game is too empty and full of cheaters. despite all the critism they refused to add a anticheat and it backfired now. Now they're adding one but its alr too late.
For a community driven Shooter thats just stupid. If everyone tells you to do something you might listen
Why you hate f2p games
@@suncrilearoshoubi7196 because 9/10 is just a scam. A shitty moneygrab to get money of people who don't know any better. But to be fair GTA is also part of that bullshit. I have no issue with buyable cosmetics (NO LOOTBOX SYSTEM!!!). The issue starts when they charge money for items which make playing a game easier. The worst part even is when it is randomized so it basically becomes gambling. Do you endorse gambling unmonitored? Cause that is basically what that is.
@@calledtim_ jesus christ it literally just released. Can people calm down for 1 second
@@notcreative2256 A game releasing makes it viable to be criticized. They made a lot of bad decisions and released an unfinished game. They didnt listen to the community and thats why so many people are dissatisfied resulting in the criticism you see here and on its steam page. Read through the reviews there are some that explain everything perfectly on what went wrong and what needs to be fixed
From what i can see, half of the negative feedback is due lack of content, which for a community driven game is fine. The issue is with the other half of complaints which is almost exclusively due to a lack of anticheat and a vote kick system. Either will help solve the problem but some kind of fix is a pretty necessary step for a functioning game. In all honesty im holding off playing until the game seems playable and has content
Congratulations to you and your team and everybody you're working with. I'm looking forward to getting off of work, running home downloading and jumping in. I have an open mind... I've been playing another game that is an alpha and I can understand the pain of early release Beta alpha type games so I'm looking forward to the experience, my expectations , I think reasonable and I wish you all the best of luck. I hope it becomes my new favorite.
Amazing work on the game, I only just found it and absolutely adore it. I can't put into words how much I enjoy the game other than it captures the best feeling parts of my favourite multiplayer experience "Battlefield 2" with some of the flourishes of tactical FPSs I've come to enjoy, that's to say I love every part of this game. I never took the time to play "Project Reality" but even if I did I reckon I'd prefer this; I already have "ARMA" & "Squad". Before I found "Insurgency" I thought the more pure tacticool shooter didn't exist and now with "Operation: Harsh Door Stop" there's one I like even more. I can't thank you enough for making such a great game and doubley so for making it free, this game is absolutely worth charging for but the fact it was free gave me a chance to try something I was unsure about and I'm so glad I did. Personally, I'm going to try and recommend this game whenever I get the chance. Thank you Bluedrake42 and all the other people that made this possible working under Drakeling Labs, you've all made an amazing game.
cant wait to finally get my hands on this, love all you do keep pushing the industry
Kudos and congratulations on getting the base game out. Looking forward to tooling around in it later this month when I have the time. Keep up the good work !
The third person mod looks amazing. SOCOM was my first online shooter experience ever on PS2 and this mod has serious SOCOM vibes and brings back great memories. I think this game has potential to be incredible with the help of a passionate community that will continue to grow in the future without a doubt. Mad respect to Bluedrake and everyone pitching in on this project ❤️.

Hey Bro, I am learning unreal engine from the past year. And I learned blueprints, anim bp, blendspace, fx and etc (almost everything) and I understand how hard you and your team must have worked for this game. Good work on everything, specially the Hud
yo wtf, well, first of all, so much thank you, this is EXACTLY the game I always wanted. But I never thought anyone would do this. I'm overwhelmed by this deed of yours. My eyes get slight watery when I'm overwhlmed and oh my this has done it for me. wtf man you're not supposed to make an actual good game without a flaw. Kudos to you
You can show appreciation without lying to yourself and others... "Without a flaw"
Dude, you've never even played it
@@JACpotatos i meant flaws as in the corporate dirty schemes. Like battle pass, ridiculous price etc. I dont consider graphics and bugs as flaws because those things exist alongside every game so its pointless to consider the omnipotent
This dude is the best developer I've ever heard speak. He's so honest about his project. like saying how it's not Triple A, and it's not overly popular, but everything is going as they planned and there are future tools (which they actually show).
I really like this style of video for the type of game it is. I think you releasing updates on "cool mods" for the game periodically would be a good idea to keep the project moving and relevant over time. Some of those mods already look pretty nifty.
LOVE your stuff man! your an amazing developer and keep the great stuff up!
This is a revolution in gaming industry! I'm so glad for seeing you made it to the final release day :)

This is one of the best initiative that i have seen in the last decade in the gaming industry, an idea/base game and tools given to the community, all you have to be is creative and put your imagination to work... infinite possibilities at zero cost. Congrats by doing this and showing AAAAAAA companies that the games should be fun and not all about the money always! Keep going!
Man thank you, honestly I'm blown away by how great this game is and the fact you made it free just makes it sweeter.
Congratulations to you and your team for bringing this to us and I look forward to seeing how this develops over the coming year.
I also hope this impacts the industry and makes Devs think twice about making us pay for rushed and or unfinished content when there are teams such as yours who can bring us gold like this for free.
Bloody well done 😃
I hope the modding community creates tactical style of gameplay with more closed scenarios
Yes, I’ve been wanting something like this for years.
Ive been playing since it was available to play this month and i have to say im impressed by whats on offer here. Ive been following the updates here on this channel and in no way was it over hyped. I knew going in this would be more of a "platform" for a tactical shooter than a full game and on that aspect im not disappointed. I feel like everyone involved with the project should be proud of what they have created. This game has a lot of potential and from the outset the goal was to create a platform for free that anyone could join if they were looking for a tactical shooter experience, or those who are interested in games like Ground Branch, Squad, Hell Let Loose or the other great games of the tactical shooter variety. I feel like the community support and modding community will turn this game into something special. And as someone who grew up with no internet and playing against bots im really impressed by the single player mode thats on offer here.
In general the base game is bare bones but with a solid foundation, and I fully believe in the vision that the devs have for this game and really hope that in the future this platform is embraced by the TS community and great content gets made for it. I wish Bluedrake and the dev team for OHD all the best. Im really glad in a market where gamers are lied to and taken advantage of, you all stayed true to what you said you would set out to do and what you have created reflects what you said you would create.
as someone who hasn't followed this at all, what differentiates this game from squad - more comprehensive mod support and faster sprint speed?
@@quadconjures I mean first of all it is free. Secondly it's got an actual proper singleplayer instead of solo map exploring and no AI. And finally it's probably not got the same systems as squad. The mod gameplay shown helis, tanks and logi trucks but the standalone? I don't know if it's in there. It's less of an overall team co-op and more of a large team shooter game.
@@OnlyGrafting I think you're confusing squad with Arma or insurgency? Squad has a huge overlap with all of those features, on top of very similar visual, audio, map, and game play design
That's why I was asking, they're very very similar. Not trying to insult the game, just curious.
I loved the demo and I'm fully looking forward to creating mods for it asap! Super cool to see a group of homies launch their own game. Keep us updated!
I'm already working on a mod that lets you fart in game , working on the sound effects now, and modding textures for realistic looking poo poo that will drop from the bumhole
Congrats bluedrake! You have worked so hard on this wonderful project.
As a level designer I know the feels of releasing stuff. Good luck.
I hope this development team keeps the same energy they have now all the way down the road. I’m thinking of giving this game a shot just to have something different to play.. possibly with my buddies. If this game looks like this video does, I’m down to sacrifice the qualities of a AAA game
The game is too janky, too empty, too unfinished to be released. They ignored everyone and did it anyways. What we're left with is a boringly generic and janky military shooter with the hopes that modders will save the game and make it... Fun.
@@rtsrt165 i think this is an amazing idea, developing a game as a community effort. thanks to modding this game lots of possibilities, like the 3rd person option shown in the video, can be explored. i wouldn't expect it to entertain me for more than a few hours but i'll just check it out again in a month.
@@seanhdka It's laziness, you can call it a community driven game all you like, it's just laziness. Yes it's a free game, that doesn't excuse laziness nor does it make them immune to criticism. The "why are you complaining it's a free game lmao!" argument is so silly because ANYTHING put out into a public market is fair grounds for criticism, free or paid.
@@YuYuYuna_ word salad
The energy in this video is contrived and gives a feel of being advertised at.
I am extremely excited for this game. And I just now found out about it from this video. You seem to be going against the grain with a sort of 'screw battlepasses' take. So I, and probably many others. Hope that this is an ideal that holds later on down the line. And that this game doesn't end up as just another abandoned project for the pile. Stay strong OHD devs.
