Yeah, that's what Isonzo is about. If you can't accept that you won't unicum this game because you will be constantly dying to random shit, it's not a game for you. It's war, you die and that's it. Isonzo is much more about working as a wave of meat and hoping that guys who won't die will hold it until another wave comes in. It's senseless, as this entire fucking war was, and the battles of Isonzo in particular. I love it so much.

I’ve been having a blast with isonzo bit buggy but it’s a lot more fleshed out then the other two games, don’t get me wrong verdun is prolly my favorite ww1 game
I've been liking Isonzo a lot tbh. As someone who is mainly used to Battlefield, this feels like a level somewhere in-between. It feels like a happy medium where it has some more arcade like elements from Battlefield 1, but the bolt action rifles make the gameplay less chaotic. I found the officer role to be really fun too. The pistols have a drawback of being less powerful than the rifles, but you can fire multiple shots before having to reload. And it's always fun putting in a call for a bomber squadron and just watching your kill feed light up
learn the game if ur choosing the officer just cuz it has a pistol. u ruining the game then. assaulter literally has a pistol. unless u actually do ur role as a officer then it makes sense to choose him
I kinda like Verdun which was the game before Isonzo. Yeah, you die, you die ALOT, but in a way that's kinda the point. The developers want to simulate WW1 which was the meat grinder of history and it was pretty much a miracle if you made it trough one attack. Even so if you made trough 2 attacks. So yeah, if you are prepared for that then Isonzo is a game for you. If there is one thing I like to point out, is that the developers of this game seem to be really passionate about their work. Even though Verdun struggled with getting that player count up, they still kept the updates coming. What happened with beyond the wire is a damn shame though...

WW1 Series Verdun, TannenBerg and Isonzo I absolutely love. WW1 Series in my opinion are very well done realistic shooters. Now, Black Mill has a way higher budget and I believe that Balkan or Turkish Fronts are next.
Verdun Tanneberg Isonzo, they travel to original places, read a lot talk a lot with other historians to recreate what happened even the scenary. Devs are deeply passionate about war history. Also 1 bullet 1kill, not 3clips and a kamehame. I love it, but it has it's quirks

These two games aren't even comparable, it gives me a headache seeing so many people compare this game to a casual, arcady shooter like BF1 or lazily made, unoptimized shitshow like Beyond the Wire.
It is if you play on consol. The problem with the series being cross platform is they’ve absolutely fucked over the console peasants by giving us the slowest aiming speed and having no options to speed it up or give us an aim assist. It’s frustrating to have the aiming speed be damn near glacial.
I Do NOT agree with Nano for once. I think Isonzo is awesome and most of the bugs have been fixed already, which is nice since the game comes from a pretty small team. I'm excited for the German expansion to come to the game.

But i agree with him the unlocks are artificial and unneeded, and if the developers can add more animations variety even if one to two to bayonet attacks and such would be great, him complaining about the mask is just him being salty, mask don't instantly stick to your face and isn't something you can rush.
This game is probably my favorite fps next to AVP 2010 I have… well Had family members who fought on the isonzo front This game actually shows what it was truly like The people who try die, and the ones who stay back live only a little longer, and the ones who run…get shot by there own

@@romanrat5613 I'm pretty sure WW1 as a whole was pretty repetitive, considering, y'know...everything. Personally I find the game to be fun as hell, same with Verdun and Tannenberg.
I hate that people come into the WWI series and just shit all over the graphics and animations. No they're not incredible, it wasn't made by a AAA studio that can afford to spend a whole year to get graphics and vfx absolutely perfect and cutting edge. And they always expect it to play like COD or Battlefield where it's just arcade. That's not the intention of the games at all, they are supposed to be realistic. One shot one kill, chaos and confusion, slow reloads, and slow guns. Not everyone had full auto smgs and machine guns. The WWI series are my absolute favorite games because of the realism and difficulty and if you don't like them, don't shit on the developer just because they aren't a multimillion dollar game studio.
Isonzo is just the latest in a three part series of games including Verdun, and Tannenberg. Verdun is my personal favorite, and I would highly recommend that you try them instead.
@@GroceryBagJr Every day there's one server with at least 20 players with bots, sometimes 60. It's not dead, but it's still holding on to a small portion of dedicated players
Ive played beyond the wire for 300 hours since january, the game is saddly dead, theres only a few servers but only one will have players. Its not in early acess anymore, and they officially launched it. While isonzo is not as good as beyond the wire could have been, its way more historic accurate than bf1 will ever be. So its a replecement for the void left by BtW in my brain. But isonzo is definetly a good game that need some balancing to be amazing.
Yea It's really sad about BTW. Absolutely, battlefield 1 is not a perfect equivalent because it is a lot more arcade (I mentioned this) but for the large majority of people I can confidently say they will have better time than in Isonzo. Hell you can even play BF1 with hardcore settings that forces certain gear to make it more historically accurate...
I don't want Redstone Interactive touching the WW1 Game Series, thank you very much. They're a lazy bunch of over-ambitious clowns who abandoned their unfinished, full price early access game that was still missing tons of roadmap content (and ran like absolute garbage), sold it to their publisher (OWI, the Squad devs who provided the framework for the game) who moved it from V0.12 Alpha to V1.0 Full Release in a single update. The Squad framework was never a good foundation for a WW1 shooter anyway, but all the potential Beyond the Wire has was pissed away by the devs streamlining the game more and more overtime. Almost all weapon sway was removed about a year ago and the Battlefront style XP system is an affront to the concept of a tactical shooter. Beyond the Wire had a lot of potential and I had some good times with it before the devs ruined it, but make no mistake dude.. it's dead because it deserves to be dead. Redstone did everything in their power to handicap the game.

Nano doesn't recommend, but I think it looks interesting. Having bots and the ability to play even if the game dies is pretty good imo. While it seems some issues definitely needs some ironing out, I certainly don't mind the "low visual and audio quality" because It feels fitting. At the end of the day, guns just sound like bangs and explosions are just dust clouds. I'm glad that they don't force particles and uniqueness of sound. Unlike BF1, which I despise.

This game is actually really fun. It’s not super hardcore like Post Scriptum but not casual like BF1. I personally think it’s a really good foundation to make a really good game. Yeah there are some bugs, but it just released and most of the bugs are getting sorted right away. Coming from a small team, this game is really really good. I think it’s not fair to pair it with a game like BF1
They should add a way to switch sides.....to embrace the true Italian way Edit: I have created ww3 in the comments. *Read the comments at your own risk.* And don't worry about the Italians they would probably swap sides again LOL
Considering that we paid 600k deaths only to have the Great Powers giving us Trento, South Tyrol, part of Istria, and a city in Dalmatia I truly look forward to the opportunity to betray you guys in the future.
It's good, cheap fun worth the price. Strikes a nice balance between realistic hardcore combat and fast paced arcade action. I really enjoyed Verdun when it was active. Tannenberg sadly died extremely fast. Isonzo does feel like a noticeable improvement to the previous games, though they do have some serious bugs to fix (especially the spawning issues). But for what it is it's fun. If you enjoy RO/RS then you will definitely enjoy Isonzo.
10:39 As a former professional Mount and Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars player, that looked like you you tried to do a turning stab (stab blade pointing away from the enemy, then turn so that the blade ends up in the enemy by the end of the animation), but the game doesn't let you do that. Might be the game requires you to have the blade be on the enemy earlier in the animation.
I really wish more games had the Banzai charge system from rising storm. Heck you would think even a bayonet charge like in bf1 would be in this game. I suppose wouldn't be as useful in mountain terrain.
Never played BF1 but a fair amount of RS. Participated in a few good charges, and broke a few as well. Good times, good times. Wish that game would make a comeback.
@@srwhite9147 how big is the playerbase? Been considering either Isonzo, Post Scriptum, or Hell Let Loose. Or even Arma3, to fill the void left behind by RO/RS

Maybe it was different a year ago but this just seems like an insane review. A lot of the complaints are very superficial and it really just seems like the video is complaining about what boils down to the youtubers personal preference. I got it a few weeks ago on sale and it's very quickly become one of my favorite games. None of the things he complained about have even been the slightest of a problem in my experience.
The explosions are lack luster but the gunshots are pretty accurate. Just hope we get a little more tweaks to some things. Like grenade spam, the effectiveness of mortars, the sub gun that the Italians get is really busted. Otherwise it's ok
I picked up Verdun and Tannenberg on sale and (purposefully) only ever play them with bots - I think this series is definitely an acquired taste. They're not amazing, but each game does something interesting and it's fun to mess around a bit and go ham with a trench shotgun or 1911. I'll probably eventually pick up Izonzo when it enters bargain territory like the other two games.
@@theatagamer90 Edited my comment. I meant that I purposefully play with bots since that's what I like. Didn't realize it could be construed as forced to play with bots.
Always like this ww1 series. The developers are mostly true the real weapons and gear available during that time. Rather than give everyone prototype full auto weapons and red dots with gold and pink camo like every other shooter out there. They stick to what the majority of the army's of the time we're equipped with, bolt action rifles, bayonets and full frontal attack tactics. It's a different kinda gameplay and experience than most spray and prey shooters. Usually got one shot to take at a time and have to make it count before your foe does. And charging your enemies in a act of desperation. And the presence of a few machine guns and automatics totally changes the out come of a battle the way it did in WW1. Also shows the brutality of mankind in our development to kill each other over anything we deem necessary.
I absolutely agree. Having played Isonzo for a mere five hours, I can already definitively say that I am not getting bored of it. Honestly, what better metric is there than the fact that I usually get a K/D of 1/10, and still have fun 19/20 times I play? Battlefield 1 sure as hell can't match that record, and nor can many other shooters nowadays.
I absolutely recommend it and I love it . It can be frustrating at times, but guess what, ww1. I hope they’ll put other weapons that our allies gave us during ww1, for example the lewis lmg, maxim mg etc. I sorry but I completely disagree with your rating, I am sorry, but it’s fine, different tastes I guess👍.
im honestly pretty happy with the game. liked the previous entries in the WW1 game series as well, just a big fan of manually repeating rifles in games. the older games brought the trench warfare and maneuver warfare, now we get mountains. the transition to a new "game mode" to portrait that worked well imo. tannenberg had more guns, but that was also due to the mixed armies in those battles, thats something i miss a bit. both verdun and tannenberg also had unique squads with perks to fulfill specific roles, like a defensive squad that gets less suppression effects in own objectives and stuff like that, now you get your own perks for your class. takes away from the feel of "our squad should defend together, that squad should rush the enemy objective" (which isnt too bad, cause one team always only defend or attack for the entire match). the UI was something that surprised me at first as well, but i got used to it pretty quickly. the older games also had markers for objectives and orders and stuff like that, might turn off some of the things eventually. i just hope they add something more to the progression and make it worth it. im basically only looking to get the madsen and the villar perosa and then im done grinding and play for fun. i felt like a slower progression system might help to keep people playing and populate the servers longer than verdun and tannenberg, but we will have to see, we might need more unlocks for that to happen. and i dont see the comparison to BF1. BF1 is just a battlefield like all the others with a WW1 skin, thats fun, but not an authentic WW1 feel. also would have loved beyond the wire to succeed but oh well. i'll keep playing the WW1 series with my fellow gamers on the last 1 or 2 populated servers even when isonzo gets there.
I am having fun with Isonzo despite a few flaws. Mainly that scoped rifles are limited to 2 players per team. I used iron sights almost exclusively in Verdun and wanted to play as a sniper but sometimes I am forced to play other classes. Even in custom games, I can be a sniper all I want but the bots are not comparable to real players. So after a few minutes, I just want to play against real people
Having too many scoped rifles ruins the game. Check any battlefield game after 4, 10-15 snipers per team and it's just horribly unplayable, nobody destroys tanks or planes, nobody pushes forward
It's a game made with the hearts. On another footage, I was regretting the overwhelming HUD, and the arcade feeling. But knowing you can disable the HUD makes it feel better for me.
At the beginning I had also a pretty meh-opinion about the game. But after some hours I understood how the classes works, how the recon system work (signal pistols) and how fucking powerful it is when everyone is doing their role-job- even without voip. Pounding the enemy as officer with your sweet bombing squadron? Spotting attackers from miles away with a periscope just to see that you play wallhack-god for your team? And to storm village ruins and do CQB where everyone is trying to cover the corners...that's why im playing the game. Teamplay by definition is very powerful in this game (when they know their role and the objectives). When you got spotted mortars love AOE-Kills. So stay away from people during mortar-sessions. (easy to say, kek) Maybe Im just in love because I had to play nearly every single fucking time SL in HLL and my nerves needed a bit "dying without voip".
The ww1 game series are independently funded and developed. Of course, it's not going to have the sexiness like a triple A game. It's buggy at times, but when you get a full lobby, it's amazing.
Nice to see another Nano vid! good to see you gaming lol. Agree with some of the comments, but not having the grenades and guns straight away gives you something to play for, but I admit theres not a lot to get, but hey, this is ww1 right lol. Izonzo is an atmospheric game, I love the squad aspects. A pity Nano didnt play the Officer, I think he would have prolly enjoyed it...or maybe they didnt record that bit lol.
I feel it’s a shame that at a time when everyone’s greatest grievance with gaming is the heartlessness and lack of passion of huge companies, a game series like this from a small developer driven by nothing but passion (a breath of fresh air) is written off as mediocre just because it’s clearly been made by a small developer. The other games in this series are still buggy yet are some of if not the most enjoyable multiplayer shooters I’ve played to this day. Valid complaints but it’s a shame that the passion of the devs is overlooked.
Completely understand why Nano doesn't like this game, it's *not* for everyone! I however love it, breath of fresh air really. Despite it being a year old now, it hit a new peak player count after a lot of work on it and I highly recommend it!
BF1 is shit in comparison to this game, I usually like your content and takes but I disagree with you entirely on your comment on it being a mediocre / low budget BF1. BF1 can't even add the real versions of the guns it included, the Villar-Perosa in BF1 was based off of a fake gun used as a movie prop. You can dislike the game all you want, but acting as if it's some kind of low effort clone of BF1 is a load of shit considering the WW1 Game Series predates BF1 as Verdun came before it did. This game is far from perfect, but I quite enjoy it and know I'm not alone. I feel like you just made very little attempt to understand the game or interact with its mechanics and wrote it off as mediocre when you didn't end up having a good time. You were trying to play the game like it was BtW or BF1 and you had a bad time. That's predictable. I have zero qualms with you not caring for the game, but your comparisons to BF1 / BtW are disingenuous at best and outright bullshit at worst. Beyond the Wire was sold to OWI by Redstone who got lazy and gave up on the game after numerous attempts to streamline it to attract more players (removal of almost all weapon sway, Battlefront style XP system, etc) and when OWI got hold of it they moved it to V0.12 to a V1.0 within a single update with most of the roadmap features were left in the toilet. You rag on the visuals of Isonzo but say BtW is better when BtW has demonstrable input lag, clunky af animations, modern visuals clashing with PS2 era visual assets and a world of other problems. I want what you're smoking dude, because it's got your perspective MAD fucked up. Almost every aspect of Isonzo you criticize is immensely worse in Beyond the Wire and that isn't a matter of opinion. Like how can you rag on Isonzo's progression when Beyond the Wire makes you grind XP in matches to unlock 'super kits' and spawn in tanks? Seriously, like, what? What? What the fuck? There's a reason Isonzo didn't completely lose its playerbase three days after it launched like Beyond the Wire did after full release. Beyond the Wire is a garbage game. Had a lot of potential but Redstone pissed it into the wind, sold it to OWI who rushed it into full release for beer money and has now likely abandoned it. I have no idea what planet you're living on if you think BtW has better visuals, VFX and animations than Isonzo because BtW looks and feels like dogass and runs even worse. The ONLY good aspect of BtW's graphics are the particles, and that's OWI's framework doing the heavy lifting there, not anything Redstone did. Beyond the Wire is one of the worst looking modern (as in recently released) WW1 games on the market, the game is just UGLY. Isonzo launched for $30 in a finished state, as in not lacking content or missing major features. Most of the serious bugs got ironed out in the first two days, and it was on sale during launch week to boot. Beyond the Wire launched for like $40-50 in a completely unfinished, early access alpha state that even in full release it honestly hasn't left. That alone should tell you that these two games are not at all comparable. Beyond the Wire sucks, and this is coming from someone who at one point back before Redstone ruined the game offered to donate $2,000 to them to support development.. which was turned down. So don't accuse me of just hating BtW, I was willing to give Redstone one of my full paychecks to support it. Isonzo isn't perfect, but it's the best WW1 shooter released in years and it'll get free content support updates for a good while to come. Beyond the Wire will continue withering away into irrelevancy as it deserves to and BF1 will continue to be infested by cheaters and angry children. Of the three choices, it seems pretty obvious which one is the best to me.

@@Nanoytgaming Honestly, I'm not a fan of progression in MP games, for anything other than cosmetics at least. I think progression is much more suited to singleplayer. The sentiment of my comment was the progression was a nuisance rather than a dealbreaker. I've heard the progression was intended to act as a tutorial of sorts, with the challenges illustrating what each class is supposed to do. But it would be better to just make a tutorial. I don't know what it is with games not making tutorials (HLL and PS come to mind) Thanks for the reply.
This game is so much fun it's like the dark souls of ww1 in fact it needs a lean key that my only critique and building in objectives with engineers, but they have a good class system that ate super specialized and that's not articulated going into the game so people are lost, and often get dominated by more experienced players. Like for instance, you have to resupply motors with the riflemen ammo box and perk, and the engineer gets a speed bonus to HMG and motors making it way more deadly. I've lost so much sleep playing this game😵

I've been liking Isonzo a lot tbh. As someone who is mainly used to Battlefield, this feels like a level somewhere in-between. It feels like a happy medium where it has some more arcade like elements from Battlefield 1, but the bolt action rifles make the gameplay less chaotic. I found the officer role to be really fun too. The pistols have a drawback of being less powerful than the rifles, but you can fire multiple shots before having to reload. And it's always fun putting in a call for a bomber squadron and just watching your kill feed light up

Me too!
Bomber spam officers are the scum of the Isonzo community.
learn the game if ur choosing the officer just cuz it has a pistol. u ruining the game then. assaulter literally has a pistol. unless u actually do ur role as a officer then it makes sense to choose him
I kinda like Verdun which was the game before Isonzo. Yeah, you die, you die ALOT, but in a way that's kinda the point. The developers want to simulate WW1 which was the meat grinder of history and it was pretty much a miracle if you made it trough one attack. Even so if you made trough 2 attacks.
So yeah, if you are prepared for that then Isonzo is a game for you. If there is one thing I like to point out, is that the developers of this game seem to be really passionate about their work. Even though Verdun struggled with getting that player count up, they still kept the updates coming.

WW1 Series Verdun, TannenBerg and Isonzo I absolutely love. WW1 Series in my opinion are very well done realistic shooters. Now, Black Mill has a way higher budget and I believe that Balkan or Turkish Fronts are next.
Verdun Tanneberg Isonzo, they travel to original places, read a lot talk a lot with other historians to recreate what happened even the scenary. Devs are deeply passionate about war history. Also 1 bullet 1kill, not 3clips and a kamehame. I love it, but it has it's quirks

I liked tannenber and verdun but this one looks like a totally different game.
@@selectionn Isonzo is great and I still find people playing Verdun and TannenBerg and I am on PS5. The games are great and are my personal favourite gems. WW1 Series is my favourite gaming franchise. I will suppourt Black Mill and even though M2H departed ways I will suppourt them too. Indie Developers have always stayed true to what makes their games unique and they have no, high up to answer to. They get to make the game the way we and developers want it.

Its truly realistic is it makes you ask "wtf is happening". Probably exactly what they thought in the trenches when shit popped off.
It is if you play on consol. The problem with the series being cross platform is they’ve absolutely fucked over the console peasants by giving us the slowest aiming speed and having no options to speed it up or give us an aim assist. It’s frustrating to have the aiming speed be damn near glacial.

I hate that people come into the WWI series and just shit all over the graphics and animations. No they're not incredible, it wasn't made by a AAA studio that can afford to spend a whole year to get graphics and vfx absolutely perfect and cutting edge. And they always expect it to play like COD or Battlefield where it's just arcade. That's not the intention of the games at all, they are supposed to be realistic. One shot one kill, chaos and confusion, slow reloads, and slow guns. Not everyone had full auto smgs and machine guns. The WWI series are my absolute favorite games because of the realism and difficulty and if you don't like them, don't shit on the developer just because they aren't a multimillion dollar game studio.

I don't want Redstone Interactive touching the WW1 Game Series, thank you very much. They're a lazy bunch of over-ambitious clowns who abandoned their unfinished, full price early access game that was still missing tons of roadmap content (and ran like absolute garbage), sold it to their publisher (OWI, the Squad devs who provided the framework for the game) who moved it from V0.12 Alpha to V1.0 Full Release in a single update. The Squad framework was never a good foundation for a WW1 shooter anyway, but all the potential Beyond the Wire has was pissed away by the devs streamlining the game more and more overtime. Almost all weapon sway was removed about a year ago and the Battlefront style XP system is an affront to the concept of a tactical shooter.
Beyond the Wire had a lot of potential and I had some good times with it before the devs ruined it, but make no mistake dude.. it's dead because it deserves to be dead. Redstone did everything in their power to handicap the game.

Tannenberg sadly died extremely fast. Isonzo does feel like a noticeable improvement to the previous games, though they do have some serious bugs to fix (especially the spawning issues). But for what it is it's fun. If you enjoy RO/RS then you will definitely enjoy Isonzo.
The game is now very well polished, I absolutely recommend playing it
10:39 As a former professional Mount and Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars player, that looked like you you tried to do a turning stab (stab blade pointing away from the enemy, then turn so that the blade ends up in the enemy by the end of the animation), but the game doesn't let you do that. Might be the game requires you to have the blade be on the enemy earlier in the animation.

I picked up Verdun and Tannenberg on sale and (purposefully) only ever play them with bots - I think this series is definitely an acquired taste.

Always like this ww1 series. The developers are mostly true the real weapons and gear available during that time. Rather than give everyone prototype full auto weapons and red dots with gold and pink camo like every other shooter out there. They stick to what the majority of the army's of the time we're equipped with, bolt action rifles, bayonets and full frontal attack tactics. It's a different kinda gameplay and experience than most spray and prey shooters. Usually got one shot to take at a time and have to make it count before your foe does. And charging your enemies in a act of desperation. And the presence of a few machine guns and automatics totally changes the out come of a battle the way it did in WW1. Also shows the brutality of mankind in our development to kill each other over anything we deem necessary.
I absolutely agree. Having played Isonzo for a mere five hours, I can already definitively say that I am not getting bored of it.
Honestly, what better metric is there than the fact that I usually get a K/D of 1/10, and still have fun 19/20 times I play? Battlefield 1 sure as hell can't match that record, and nor can many other shooters nowadays.
I absolutely recommend it and I love it .
It can be frustrating at times, but guess what, ww1.
I hope they’ll put other weapons that our allies gave us during ww1, for example the lewis lmg, maxim mg etc.

As a bavarian the command at 1:44 "Reiß di zam und stai di noch vorn." made me smile.
im honestly pretty happy with the game. liked the previous entries in the WW1 game series as well, just a big fan of manually repeating rifles in games. the older games brought the trench warfare and maneuver warfare, now we get mountains. the transition to a new "game mode" to portrait that worked well imo. tannenberg had more guns, but that was also due to the mixed armies in those battles, thats something i miss a bit. both verdun and tannenberg also had unique squads with perks to fulfill specific roles, like a defensive squad that gets less suppression effects in own objectives and stuff like that, now you get your own perks for your class. takes away from the feel of "our squad should defend together, that squad should rush the enemy objective" (which isnt too bad, cause one team always only defend or attack for the entire match). the UI was something that surprised me at first as well, but i got used to it pretty quickly. the older games also had markers for objectives and orders and stuff like that, might turn off some of the things eventually. i just hope they add something more to the progression and make it worth it. im basically only looking to get the madsen and the villar perosa and then im done grinding and play for fun. i felt like a slower progression system might help to keep people playing and populate the servers longer than verdun and tannenberg, but we will have to see, we might need more unlocks for that to happen. and i dont see the comparison to BF1. BF1 is just a battlefield like all the others with a WW1 skin, thats fun, but not an authentic WW1 feel. also would have loved beyond the wire to succeed but oh well. i'll keep playing the WW1 series with my fellow gamers on the last 1 or 2 populated servers even when isonzo gets there.
I guess it’s just preference tbh. I’ve actually really been enjoying the game so far.
I am having fun with Isonzo despite a few flaws. Mainly that scoped rifles are limited to 2 players per team. I used iron sights almost exclusively in Verdun and wanted to play as a sniper but sometimes I am forced to play other classes. Even in custom games, I can be a sniper all I want but the bots are not comparable to real players. So after a few minutes, I just want to play against real people
Having too many scoped rifles ruins the game. Check any battlefield game after 4, 10-15 snipers per team and it's just horribly unplayable, nobody destroys tanks or planes, nobody pushes forward
It's a game made with the hearts.
On another footage, I was regretting the overwhelming HUD, and the arcade feeling. But knowing you can disable the HUD makes it feel better for me.
At the beginning I had also a pretty meh-opinion about the game. But after some hours I understood how the classes works, how the recon system work (signal pistols) and how fucking powerful it is when everyone is doing their role-job- even without voip. Pounding the enemy as officer with your sweet bombing squadron? Spotting attackers from miles away with a periscope just to see that you play wallhack-god for your team? And to storm village ruins and do CQB where everyone is trying to cover the corners...that's why im playing the game. Teamplay by definition is very powerful in this game (when they know their role and the objectives). When you got spotted mortars love AOE-Kills. So stay away from people during mortar-sessions. (easy to say, kek)
Maybe Im just in love because I had to play nearly every single fucking time SL in HLL and my nerves needed a bit "dying without voip".
What do you mean you don't use the signal pistol/flare gun as a shotgun? Shit's hilarious to play that way man.
Love how people from two years ago they said this game would flop but their wrong there are still a wide variety of people playing today

The ww1 game series are independently funded and developed. Of course, it's not going to have the sexiness like a triple A game. It's buggy at times, but when you get a full lobby, it's amazing.
Nice to see another Nano vid! good to see you gaming lol. Agree with some of the comments, but not having the grenades and guns straight away gives you something to play for, but I admit theres not a lot to get, but hey, this is ww1 right lol. Izonzo is an atmospheric game, I love the squad aspects. A pity Nano didnt play the Officer, I think he would have prolly enjoyed it...or maybe they didnt record that bit lol.
I feel it’s a shame that at a time when everyone’s greatest grievance with gaming is the heartlessness and lack of passion of huge companies, a game series like this from a small developer driven by nothing but passion (a breath of fresh air) is written off as mediocre just because it’s clearly been made by a small developer. The other games in this series are still buggy yet are some of if not the most enjoyable multiplayer shooters I’ve played to this day. Valid complaints but it’s a shame that the passion of the devs is overlooked.

BF1 is shit in comparison to this game, I usually like your content and takes but I disagree with you entirely on your comment on it being a mediocre / low budget BF1. BF1 can't even add the real versions of the guns it included, the Villar-Perosa in BF1 was based off of a fake gun used as a movie prop. You can dislike the game all you want, but acting as if it's some kind of low effort clone of BF1 is a load of shit considering the WW1 Game Series predates BF1 as Verdun came before it did.
This game is far from perfect, but I quite enjoy it and know I'm not alone. I feel like you just made very little attempt to understand the game or interact with its mechanics and wrote it off as mediocre when you didn't end up having a good time. You were trying to play the game like it was BtW or BF1 and you had a bad time. That's predictable. I have zero qualms with you not caring for the game, but your comparisons to BF1 / BtW are disingenuous at best and outright bullshit at worst.
Beyond the Wire was sold to OWI by Redstone who got lazy and gave up on the game after numerous attempts to streamline it to attract more players (removal of almost all weapon sway, Battlefront style XP system, etc) and when OWI got hold of it they moved it to V0.12 to a V1.0 within a single update with most of the roadmap features were left in the toilet. You rag on the visuals of Isonzo but say BtW is better when BtW has demonstrable input lag, clunky af animations, modern visuals clashing with PS2 era visual assets and a world of other problems. I want what you're smoking dude, because it's got your perspective MAD fucked up. Almost every aspect of Isonzo you criticize is immensely worse in Beyond the Wire and that isn't a matter of opinion. Like how can you rag on Isonzo's progression when Beyond the Wire makes you grind XP in matches to unlock 'super kits' and spawn in tanks? Seriously, like, what? What? What the fuck?
There's a reason Isonzo didn't completely lose its playerbase three days after it launched like Beyond the Wire did after full release. Beyond the Wire is a garbage game. Had a lot of potential but Redstone pissed it into the wind, sold it to OWI who rushed it into full release for beer money and has now likely abandoned it. I have no idea what planet you're living on if you think BtW has better visuals, VFX and animations than Isonzo because BtW looks and feels like dogass and runs even worse. The ONLY good aspect of BtW's graphics are the particles, and that's OWI's framework doing the heavy lifting there, not anything Redstone did. Beyond the Wire is one of the worst looking modern (as in recently released) WW1 games on the market, the game is just UGLY.
Isonzo launched for $30 in a finished state, as in not lacking content or missing major features. Most of the serious bugs got ironed out in the first two days, and it was on sale during launch week to boot. Beyond the Wire launched for like $40-50 in a completely unfinished, early access alpha state that even in full release it honestly hasn't left. That alone should tell you that these two games are not at all comparable. Beyond the Wire sucks, and this is coming from someone who at one point back before Redstone ruined the game offered to donate $2,000 to them to support development.. which was turned down. So don't accuse me of just hating BtW, I was willing to give Redstone one of my full paychecks to support it.
Isonzo isn't perfect, but it's the best WW1 shooter released in years and it'll get free content support updates for a good while to come. Beyond the Wire will continue withering away into irrelevancy as it deserves to and BF1 will continue to be infested by cheaters and angry children. Of the three choices, it seems pretty obvious which one is the best to me.
my review is that, Authentic and Realistic even tho its not a milsim i really do like it! AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE AUSTRO HUNGARIANS
Nano: "is that a grenade? **BOOM** Yes, that's a grenade."
Nano is that nameless soldier in every movie that picks up the explosive device that gets thrown at his feet.
Not that I'm supporting the progression system, the low level unlocks can be done quickly and easily against bots. (And you get in a bit of map/game familiarization while you're at it)
true and Will even mentioned that in the video but like I said- why though?
@@Nanoytgaming Honestly, I'm not a fan of progression in MP games, for anything other than cosmetics at least. I think progression is much more suited to singleplayer. The sentiment of my comment was the progression was a nuisance rather than a dealbreaker.
I've heard the progression was intended to act as a tutorial of sorts, with the challenges illustrating what each class is supposed to do. But it would be better to just make a tutorial. I don't know what it is with games not making tutorials (HLL and PS come to mind)
Thanks for the reply.
Nano, when you are being shelled by artillery and die, maybe target an area, not being covered by Artillery.
I like the old unlock system they used to use. You'd get tokens then just unlock what you wanted. No idea why they changed it for Isonzo.

**walks away sad knowing Nano did not like it**
😭ik
This game is so much fun it's like the dark souls of ww1 in fact it needs a lean key that my only critique and building in objectives with engineers, but they have a good class system that ate super specialized and that's not articulated going into the game so people are lost, and often get dominated by more experienced players. Like for instance, you have to resupply motors with the riflemen ammo box and perk, and the engineer gets a speed bonus to HMG and motors making it way more deadly. I've lost so much sleep playing this game😵
"where did my mustache go" I too have uttered this statement many times, because my character resets constantly lol.
I for one really enjoy Isonzo. I played a lot of Verdun, and some Tannenberg, so this is right up my alley.
