Been playing it since February as a play tester was a great experience and I hope it takes over! I would say that the maps are the biggest drawback and need some balance work.
@@HeathLethal I have to majorly agree with that. Once i was able to get a gist of how the spectre worked the maps felt so fluid, I now have them memorized.
Aint no way its taking over, look not hating I love Shroud and I support him I just wish he adds something unique to his game more than the suprising cartoonish feel of it cause it looks similar to Valorant and CS2, I wish him the best, got this out of my mind!
smurfing in this game is gonna be crazy. Imagine you manage to finally down that dude on the enemy team going 20-0 in your bronze lobby and then he's just got a whole 'nother life.
Now that I know this is what he was working on, him playing FragPunk must've been trippy how similar it is with gunplay and its unique format. Both this and FragPunk are gonna be massive; I got 60 hours in FragPunk, only 1 in this since I was busy during the 8 hour test but its so much fun.
the difference is fragpunk will die in weeks because it runs badly and looks like a mobile game, while this game actually has a future and i can see it becoming big in esports and has new mechanics
@@acrazyr ???? FragPunk never dropped below 200 for me. Maybe you had a bad experience but everyone that played it seemed pretty blown away. Also FragPunks graphics honestly look a lot better than this game, character models especially, but cell shaded in this game definelty helps them stand out.
@@JustGavinBennett tbh fragpunk is a beafy looking game, it will lag on lower end systems but this game looks like it will easily play on a gt1030 or a gtx 1050ti
I got into the playtest and it was super good!!!! Only 3 people on each team, so your performance have big inpact on the outcome and alot of tactics to be made, i think this is the hardcore tactical FPS fan dream, lets just hope they can nail the matchmaking. Im pumped.
The way in that its not a copy is because it has a new gameplay mechanic that completely changes the game. With the spectre system, there are so many different playstyles to be used
For computer specs, im on a modest 580x and ryzen 5 and was getting over 180 the whole time on medium settings. The game is craaaazy well optimized for how early in development it is!
Pretty cool that they said they got the idea from the love of ranked doubles (Halo 3), wingman (gears of war 2) and trials (destiny). I loved those games and gamemodes.
honestly very excited to play this!! I like the tactical aspect, yet I also LOVE that you wan walk and ads as well. It's like a mix of R6S, CS, Valorant, and a new unique mechanic with the duality. Seems like a game looking for its own playerbase and identity!
I played two matches of spectre Saturday during the stress test. I wanted to play more, but I had to get off to sell my entire CS inventory because I never plan to play CS again when this game drops. Thank you for doing me this solid, Shroud.
ngl i wasnt sure how the spectre thing would work in a game like this but when i tried it in the playtest it was great! Glad I tried the game and cant wait to play again
Played the stress test and I too feel addicted to it!! I don't even feel like playing any other FPS till the closed beta arrives! xDD The gameplay felt absolutely amazing on my 1060, even tho it listed a 1080 as the minimum required! Fingers crossed I can still play it like I did on future betas and on release! Amazing job guys! And also great job for Tomographic for the amazing video!
Shroud I know you wanted to click when you hovered 😉 Jokes aside, the game is a lot of fun man! I've never REALLY played a tac FPS before but this is the first one that makes me want to grind it. Good job on the game
I loved the play test. Can't wait for more. Probably going to be my top played fps for years to come (with CS2 and VAL right behind). Also, yeah stop saying games are a copy of something because they are copies. Games copy each other; humans do, business do, music, everything is copied from something whether we like it or not. Who cares, play it or don't. Not every game is made for you. People create projects and ideas to be played or used by that person. I don't care if I make a Backrooms like game and then people go, "Oh it's a copy of the Backrooms". Yeah, I'm inspired by it, so who the fuck cares. Live your life and enjoy it, we all live on a rock and are here for a good time.
Coming from someone like me who has exhausted every tac shooter known to man im so excited to be able to sink my teeth into another game of the same ilk. I have high hopes for this game
You know it's real when the devs say they made a game THEY want to play in their free time.. as someone who took up Unreal Engine for the same reason that's really great to hear. Can't wait for this game!
@@vanfl9911 It's actually incredible easy to pick up. I was quite intimidated by the UI at first because of course it's a bit much for a beginner but watching certain tutorial channels really helps, especially if you have passion. I've been at it for less than 6 months and I could make a somewhat playable game almost by myself without much trouble. Epic games really makes sure to make UE as easy and developer friendly as possible :D Also you mention coding experience, UE has this neat thing called blueprints where you just connect blocks instead of actually writing code, visual coding. Simplifies it tenfold.
It’ll be interesting to see how 3v3 plays, my thoughts are that it could feel a little underwhelming when wiping squads because there are only 3 people, but on the other hand I do feel like teams will be closer and more connected.
Makes me kinda sad being a tomo fan for a long time that shroud doesn't know who tomo is :( and also when shroud said, "I need to learn from you (tomo) how to explain how it works" , it just made me blush T_T
When valorant came out it was known as a cs copy with abilities. Some even said it was overwatch and cs. I look forward to playing the game because that second life is like when you make a play for your team and they dont capatilize like you think they would, you can do what you intended to close out.
Only could play the Playtest for a couple of matches, not enough time to get my full hands on it but man I want now the Closed Beta to keep seeking what can be done in game , great job at Mountain Top keep it up!
I absolutely love that people that haven't even had their hands on it yet, are shitting on it lmao. I've played it in the closed testing and it's genuinely not bad at all. The gameplay itself is smooth and feels nice. It's a pretty cool twist on tactical shooters. The only thing I would work on personally is map design. Other than that it feels good and feels like people will love it. Especially coming from CS.
I haven’t seen spectre divide till recently but at least I’m excited and being accepted for the play test and closed beta I’m so ready to see where this game w
Got a chance to get the access key and to play it this weekend. Super fun even though I'm a FPS newbie! What I really like is that SD has a crew system and crew points. Makes it more friendly competitive, gives you the feeling that you are contributing to the crew by just playing and you also can make friends/stack party so much easier. I just hope BattlePasses are going to be more free-user friendly/affordable (similar to Farlight 84 system and not how Valorant has it). Nonetheless, very fun game with a lot of potential!
I think I will love the move and shoot. Comming from overwatch and apex I always was fustrated when have my crosshair on my enemy and no bullets hit them simply because I didnt press the opposite direction key.
I really like the unique idea of the game! In my opinion, the look and feel could be better, though. Maybe it's the desaturated colors for the cel-shading effect. Still, it's cool to see different gameplay styles.
the only 2 abilities that i personnaly am really against is the smoke shift and the clones that scan you if you shoot them. they are just a bit too strong imo
not even gonna lie. I like the game more than valorant (plat valorant player 22% HS) IT was so fun, i was genuinely upset when the stress test ended The fact they are self published and just want a good game is HUGE. Kepp sweet baby inc shit out of this game and well be all good
Movement speed could be faster. So that we can have some movement action, that way this will not just be a camping simulator. Also it's fun finessing people with movement and not just abilities.
“Are you not afraid to be called a copy of Valorant?” Honestly comparisons being made can be healthy for the game, there are things people love and hate about all games. Something different is always worth a try though
Really looking forward to this game now, at first glance you'll thought this is a copy cat of valorant, but the mechanics are hella unique. I'm thrilled to play this game now on D1
I def have some negative points, i remember shroud saying that first bullet randomness (while completely standing still) shouldnt be a part of a tactical shooter (complained about it in valorant) and now his own game has the same mechanic but even worse, eu queue is very bad, i played 10 matches and almost all matches were full of just russians that refuse to speak english or 1 teammate leaves after the first 2 rounds. I know its in a very early state but having these problems already is concerning
Bro people calling this a val copy is wild. First the graphics give me more of a borderlands vibe than a Val vibe. Then gun play I get more of a Siege vibe, only thing this game shares w val is agents and abilities and that's practically in every game these days so its like.. wtf are yall yappin about!??
People are calling this Valorant 2 because it has weird mechanics/abilities and its looks like valorant.... so in conclusion i can say it with dignity thats its definitely Valorant 2
Man this game looks so awesome man. I have idea if you’re wanting to hear me out, for competitive games. You should add tokens or something to make golden weapons or a special effects item. Isk
the clickbait titles are hilarious
Excited for the game
you're hilarious
i dont like this game , exactly is like valorant 2,,,,,,,it is not special,uniq like apex legends
@@raminpro9765how do you edit the comment, and still make so many mistakes. Apex hasn’t done anything new since its come out
@@raminpro9765 okay dud okay
I played the play test and now I’m like a crack head tweakin without it
same man/:
It's genuinely fun. I had an awesome time playing the closed testing. The people shitting on it have definitely not touched it lol.
Same, it's getting so bad that I've considered reinstalling Valorant to tide me over until the next test
Val doesn’t hit the same and it leaves me empty
we all are I talk in the main chat all the time but the discord gets spammed with ppl asking how or when to play LOL
Been playing it since February as a play tester was a great experience and I hope it takes over! I would say that the maps are the biggest drawback and need some balance work.
I thought the maps were perfect. I think the maps become more balanced when people actually figure out the best way to control their two characters.
@@HeathLethal I have to majorly agree with that. Once i was able to get a gist of how the spectre worked the maps felt so fluid, I now have them memorized.
Aint no way its taking over, look not hating I love Shroud and I support him I just wish he adds something unique to his game more than the suprising cartoonish feel of it cause it looks similar to Valorant and CS2, I wish him the best, got this out of my mind!
@@Nabashy ya fr would be cool if they added a new mechanic like a clone of some sort where you could be in control of 2 boddies instead of one smh
@@Nabashywell this could be an actual competitor for counter strike, unlike Valorant
part of my excitement is 3v3 so it’ll be easier to get homies for a full squad. like not everyone has the same schedule so it’s nice
Can’t agree more
Not just that don’t have that many online friends for a full squad
smurfing in this game is gonna be crazy. Imagine you manage to finally down that dude on the enemy team going 20-0 in your bronze lobby and then he's just got a whole 'nother life.
Yea idk how they’re gonna balance this game for pubs

Tommographic voice is the GOAT
Tomo is an OG from the Jack Frags/Sacrial crew (battlefield youtubers). He has been making high-quality content for years.
Now that I know this is what he was working on, him playing FragPunk must've been trippy how similar it is with gunplay and its unique format. Both this and FragPunk are gonna be massive; I got 60 hours in FragPunk, only 1 in this since I was busy during the 8 hour test but its so much fun.

you should play with Tomo some time! He's good friends with Sacriel, Klean, Drewski etc. I believe you crossed paths in Arma Reforger recently!
He joined a Russia Ukraine server and I sniped him from 300m
Tom is a fun creator, he plays with stone mt a lot and makes good honest videos on games
shroud fumbling on shapes got me cracking up

Shout out to you watching tomo! I was literally watching the vid thinking "I wish he would watch the tomo video."
Pretty cool that they said they got the idea from the love of ranked doubles (Halo 3), wingman (gears of war 2) and trials (destiny). I loved those games and gamemodes.
BRUH, He was edging the anomaly video so hard!
1080Ti has similar raster performance to a 4050. People just love those rose tinted glasses.
honestly very excited to play this!! I like the tactical aspect, yet I also LOVE that you wan walk and ads as well. It's like a mix of R6S, CS, Valorant, and a new unique mechanic with the duality. Seems like a game looking for its own playerbase and identity!

Tbh the video of the development process and inspiration makes it so clear why this Game feels like a mix of CS and Borderlands.

i cant wait for full release, i have in mind so much crazy tactics, like throwing spectre right behind enemy to quick switch and headshot him XD
I know casual in cs is chaotic enough but it wouldn't hurt to have this game mode in spectre

This game should have "Less Friends" as their slogan.
I'm on a 1070ti and I was sitting around 90fps for those wondering

“Are you worried about being called a valorant copy?” Do we understand what valorant is people, every Riot Game is a “copy”
Shroud x tomographic my two favourite😊
At point in time, every shooter was just a "Doom clone." It was fine then; it's fine now.
I def have some negative points, i remember shroud saying that first bullet randomness (while completely standing still) shouldnt be a part of a tactical shooter (complained about it in valorant) and now his own game has the same mechanic but even worse, eu queue is very bad, i played 10 matches and almost all matches were full of just russians that refuse to speak english or 1 teammate leaves after the first 2 rounds.
