Fair point. I think I've only played one WW2 based game that have you run around in Italy or any of those battles and that was MoH: Airborn. TI think it was the first two levels that took place in Italy before having you run off to the usuals like France and Germany.
@@barsni4779 But that's a fact that out of the other powers, they did the most warcrimes. The USSR was founded upon murder and crime. Stalin killed his own officers. Not to mention the gulags which were the most inhumane prisons. The soviets had no regard for human life. Also, have you heard about the no retreat order? The soviets implemented it at it's most extreme. The comissars or officers had the right to kill the conscripts that were running from the battlefield. Have you heard also about the tactic that they used of mass assault? They literally sent conscripts to kill tanks, mgs, and other targets, killing a lot of conscripts in the process. So it's not that the west is biased towards the USSR. It's a fact that those things happened, it's not an opinion. The USSR was a criminal nation. If not for the foreigners that were killed by it, then at least for its own people, it's still a criminal nation. Stop defending the lie. Murder is a crime. Murdering your own people is also a crime. Murdering your own people on a large scale, it's a crime against humanity. Just like the Germans killed the jews. Or you agree that murdering the jews inside of Germany was ok? Did they needed to kill the jews only that were outside it's borders? It's crime only when it's about the outside and not the inside? Or crime is a universal concept that applies on all circumstances independent of whether it's about your enemy or your own people?
@@novaimperialis that is just so untrue. Show your sources you far right trumpanzed. The USSR was a great country, and it's a shame America made it collapse with the CIA.
Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 or SHoWW2 is actually the grand-daddy of the whole Men of War series. It was developed by Best Way, a Ukranian developer. They also developed Men of War together with Digitalmindsoft, but handed the reins over to Digitalmindsoft who went on to do MoW: Assault Squad 1&2, Call to Arms and a bunch of other spinoffs.
The naming of the series is a lot more coherent in Russian. SHoWW2 was just "Behind Enemy Lines", Faces of War was "Behind Enemy Lines 2", and Men of War was "Behind Enemy Lines 2: Desert Fox". Best Way (and 1C Company, their publisher) are going back making Men of War games with the new Men of War II: Arena. I think that's why Gates of Hell had to be released as a DLC for Call to Arms; the original developers stopped giving out licenses for the GEM engine (or pushed for unreasonable contracts). Because Call to Arms is self-published by Digitalmindsoft, and uses their own derivative of the engine, it was the only way they could release the game.

soviet tank regiment is about 100 tanks, infantry regiment is ~ 1200 men IIRC, though I don't remember how much infantrymen tank regiment was authorized to have. So it's a bit more than 1 battalion
it's kinda depressing that every ww2 shooter goes the same (Normandy, Stalingrad, THE ENTIRE PACIFIC CAMPAIGN, battle of the bulge) i want a game that follows the Chindits or other British auxiliary forces, or playing at Kursk or karkov, or imagine playing as a polish soldier who made it and fights for the British! imagine going through the invasion of Poland making your way to France, and then joining the British, and then joining a commando unit!
COD3 had a pretty cool campaign where you played as a SAS trooper, an American infantryman, a Canadian one too, and even as a Polish tank commander using Sherman Firefly tanks. Really cool campaign too

I do love it when the eastern front is displayed in media but the idea that it is the most forgotten front is questionable.I would say it is the second most represented at least from what I remember,Yet the liberation of Italy Africa campaign and hell the Pacific front in general are barely touched on by any media.
At least the eastern front has some games. There isnt a single korean war game despite having some of the craziest stories and missions that would be perfect for a game

Rimmy "most ww2 games don't cover the eastern front" me who remembers cod2 and world at war the two main cod games I had growing up and got me into history cod 2 had the warfare of 1942 Russia and world at war had some of the most brutal and most memorable characters Cod fans have ever known
amazing how often they managed to publish basically the same game with slightly different icons and hud for almost the last 20 years or so. the game mechanics and basic animations haven't changed since 2003 or so
This is the eastern European approach to innovation: if it ain't broke don't fix it; there are much more ways to break it than to make it better. Most classical Russian/Ukrainian game series of the 90's and 00's were made following this approach. This is probably part of the reason why the gaming industry here is now moribund. It's also the approach they used in the Soviet and later Russian space programme. The underlying reason is of course lack of money: unlike in the West with its giant studios and crowdfunding, there isn't enough money going around to pay people for making every game from scratch and then seeing if it ends up better than the competition. But as a result, no abandonware and no crowdfunding scams.
But also, if you take a look at Heroes of WW2 and compare it to COH 1, and then compare either with any modern RTS, you'll have to admit that these two games were so mindblowingly good at the time that no one's managed to meaningfully improve upon them until this day. In fact, in some ways the follow-ups can be seen as downgrades (looking at you, colourful and cartooney MoW and COH 3).
I think most WWII games cover the Eastern Front because the Western Front up until Normandy was about 6 weeks of the Germans curbstomping the French. If anything, I rarely see WWII games that DON'T cover the Eastern front.
"Eastern Front is so forgotten in video games" I beg to differ. There's just too little Pacific Theater games, especially ones which allow you to play as the Japanese.
Most WW2 games are marketed towards western audiences, America in particular. So they usually end up portraying the war post American entrance. This has always disappointed me because of the wealth of potentially great games that could be made otherwise. From the initial invasion of Poland and the subsequent actions of the Home Army or exiled soldiers, to the Battle of France (which wasn't as one-sided as many think). The Campaigns in, Philippines, Malaya, New Guinea, Burma. And the entire insane bloodbath that was the China campaigns. Not to even mention the efforts put up by the resistance movements that were present in the occupied nations. The unfortunate truth of the matter is that the western front will always make the most money, because it's what the people buying the games are most familiar with.
i can't wait for this to come out men of war is one of my favorite game have 900 hundred hours also it not men of war until you have a 1 hour long defensive mission

Well... I mean, what do you expect. The Eastfront features the germans -> Nazis -> the bad guys. It also features the russians -> Soviets -> also the bad guys (at least from a later, western perspective). Most people prefer 1 set of bad guys and 1 set of good guys for their WW2 games.
"The eastern front is so forgotten when it comes to video games" Chinese, Burma, Africa south of Egypt, Battle of France, battle for Poland, and the entirety of world war 1: "At least you HAVE games!" As a self professed russophile, I of course, agree, we need more eastern front games, I daresay a game focusing entirely on Stalingrad and the surrounding area based off of Battlefield Modern Combat 2's hotswap system would be my dream game.
Red orchestra 2 heroes of Stalingrad - shooter Stalingrad - quite old but interesting strategy game from the developers of Blitzkrieg RTS, had a lot of fun with it
Call to arms was basically a modern day port of the WW2 game men of war. This game is now a port of call to arms, back to WW2. Now, I expect them to produce a port of this game, set in the modern day. The cycle must continue!
1:42 that mission is called ‘officers’ I think where the main objective is to find a car to load up a wounded officer and take him to safety, if you take too long the enemy will eventually call up an artillery strike and kill everyone

"Lets take things nice and easy"
-Max Schwarz, probably.
"Oh they surrendered!" followed by the raw sound of the coaxial making history
I do love it when the eastern front is displayed in media but the idea that it is the most forgotten front is questionable.I would say it is the second most represented at least from what I remember,Yet the liberation of Italy Africa campaign and hell the Pacific front in general are barely touched on by any media.
At least the eastern front has some games. There isnt a single korean war game despite having some of the craziest stories and missions that would be perfect for a game
I think there's like a single conflict game about that. Older than my dad, and probably impossible to get though.
15:35 god that bomb drop looked just amazing. Also good to see some new content for this game.
15:50 typical Cadian XXth reaction to getting run over by a friendly. Are you SURE this is the Wehrmacht we're leading and that you haven't teleported Warpig (driver) and Digby (slightly flat officer) into the game?
"Damn tank!" *Draws luger and empties it on a tank* that's sounds like something a krieg death korps commisar would do because it was pushed back a bit
Rimmy "most ww2 games don't cover the eastern front" me who remembers cod2 and world at war the two main cod games I had growing up and got me into history cod 2 had the warfare of 1942 Russia and world at war had some of the most brutal and most memorable characters Cod fans have ever known
cod2 was great loved the north africa stuff and waw is still awesome
This looks so amazing, been waiting for it for a long time and I'm gonna get hundreds of hours from it
amazing how often they managed to publish basically the same game with slightly different icons and hud for almost the last 20 years or so. the game mechanics and basic animations haven't changed since 2003 or so
You don't know anything about GOH it seems. lol.
@@unteroffitzierschultz4288 i played the series on and off since Heroes of ww2
This is the eastern European approach to innovation: if it ain't broke don't fix it; there are much more ways to break it than to make it better. Most classical Russian/Ukrainian game series of the 90's and 00's were made following this approach. This is probably part of the reason why the gaming industry here is now moribund. It's also the approach they used in the Soviet and later Russian space programme. The underlying reason is of course lack of money: unlike in the West with its giant studios and crowdfunding, there isn't enough money going around to pay people for making every game from scratch and then seeing if it ends up better than the competition. But as a result, no abandonware and no crowdfunding scams.
But also, if you take a look at Heroes of WW2 and compare it to COH 1, and then compare either with any modern RTS, you'll have to admit that these two games were so mindblowingly good at the time that no one's managed to meaningfully improve upon them until this day. In fact, in some ways the follow-ups can be seen as downgrades (looking at you, colourful and cartooney MoW and COH 3).
@@Unbrutal_Rawr yeah im not complaining. i keep buying them too lol
max schwartz survived a hero and died a lengend and too think his father said he couldnt be proud of a coward well as we see max was no coward there
That max was just an alternate reality maxor
The idiocy carry’s over
4:42
That cinematic before the mission looks a lot like the cinematics for COD WAW!
Max0r is too into Watame,
theres no saving him.
I think most WWII games cover the Eastern Front because the Western Front up until Normandy was about 6 weeks of the Germans curbstomping the French. If anything, I rarely see WWII games that DON'T cover the Eastern front.
"Eastern Front is so forgotten in video games" I beg to differ.
There's just too little Pacific Theater games, especially ones which allow you to play as the Japanese.
6:06 I think that might be a Sd. Kfz. 232.
you always make great videos...keep it up man
Soldiers, Heroes of WW2, I found that at my local library and played the crap out of it...Thank you for unlocking that wonderful memory Rimmy :)
Most WW2 games are marketed towards western audiences, America in particular. So they usually end up portraying the war post American entrance.
This has always disappointed me because of the wealth of potentially great games that could be made otherwise. From the initial invasion of Poland and the subsequent actions of the Home Army or exiled soldiers, to the Battle of France (which wasn't as one-sided as many think). The Campaigns in, Philippines, Malaya, New Guinea, Burma. And the entire insane bloodbath that was the China campaigns. Not to even mention the efforts put up by the resistance movements that were present in the occupied nations.
The unfortunate truth of the matter is that the western front will always make the most money, because it's what the people buying the games are most familiar with.
Just like Leggett used to do... " YOU WANT ME? F*****G TAKE ME! TAKEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" gives me chills every time
i can't wait for this to come out men of war is one of my favorite game have 900 hundred hours
also it not men of war until you have a 1 hour long defensive mission
To be clear on the beginning of the video Gates of Hell is mainly made up of modders namely Robz Pershing and others who took over after Digital Mindsoft said that they wouldn’t be making anymore WW2 Men of War titles so they let the community make their own version of CTA
I wish there were more games about the Korean War.
Max Schwartz reminds of a quote “who is that man, and where is his medal of honour”
There aren't a lot of video games on the WW2 Eastern Front? Rimmy have you been living under a rock?
This looks quite fing great, cant wait for the 2nd part.
Seen Arch'es video on this game, and his review of it. This sort of thing is his kind of thing.
So let's see what fusterclucks you can conjure like a orc weird boy.
*fustercluck
@@PanzerkampfwagenausfTschechosl ah. Oops. Thanks
@@calumdeighton np
Finally a video review where the guy has a superb sense of humor - quite entertaining ...
Soldiers:surrender
Me:war crime incoming
8:30 that tank shot ricochets off the KV-1 and hits that supply truck! beautiful
Hey Rimmy I highly recommend the russian movie "tankers" it's about the legendary KV1 battle you were thinking of
Russian war movies are good unintentional comedies, certainly worth watching for that aspect alone.
@@TheUbikator LOL yeah, they actually do make some really entertaining war movies though. Loved 9 rota and Brestskaya krepost
@@SherLock55 I still remember when I was watching 2013 Stalingrad with my flatmate (who was WWII reenactor). He almost threw the tv remote at the screen at times, while I was dying from laughter xD
@@TheUbikator The 2013 version was a real piece of shit lol. The 1993 version though is a great film.
"One guy with 30 bandages, 5 hats, and 3 different rifles." Sounds like kleptomania is a good tactic then...
IMO the pacific theatre ground battles are the least shown combat in games, not the eastern front...
the cutscenes at 4:52 are so much like Call Of Duty World at War and I love it so much
There's very few Eastern Front games because America can't say they did everything there
So ones a bit salty
Call of duty
Call of duty 2
Call of duty 5
The IL-2 games
Panzer elite
Red orchestra
And so on but Rimmy lives under a bloody mountain apparently the eastern front gets less exposure than other fronts such as Africa, Italy and the pacific of all places.
@@sargesacker2599 The pacific has entire games dedicated to it, africa has some, italy you got me there only Sniper Elite 4 is set there from what I can tell. But he is still right, compared to the Western Front and the pacific there are very few Eastern Front titles
@@TheWhoamaters
Please go on give the names of pacific and Africa game titles, I’m confident that eastern front still has more.
@@sargesacker2599 I never said entire games dedicated to Africa campaigns. The point was there's far more Pacific and Western Front games than Eastern Front.
soldiers heroes of word war 2
i have been looking for that game for years
i remember a long time ago playing it as a kid also never understanding anything i did becuase i didnt know english at the time
never got past the first lvl
thank you rimmy for helping me find a long forgotten part of my past
Well... I mean, what do you expect. The Eastfront features the germans -> Nazis -> the bad guys. It also features the russians -> Soviets -> also the bad guys (at least from a later, western perspective).
Most people prefer 1 set of bad guys and 1 set of good guys for their WW2 games.
"The eastern front is so forgotten when it comes to video games"
Chinese, Burma, Africa south of Egypt, Battle of France, battle for Poland, and the entirety of world war 1: "At least you HAVE games!"
As a self professed russophile, I of course, agree, we need more eastern front games, I daresay a game focusing entirely on Stalingrad and the surrounding area based off of Battlefield Modern Combat 2's hotswap system would be my dream game.
Red orchestra 2 heroes of Stalingrad - shooter
Stalingrad - quite old but interesting strategy game from the developers of Blitzkrieg RTS, had a lot of fun with it
@@МихаилЧерников-п2т I have it in my library but I feel like no one plays it. Also I have no friends to play it with so *shrug*
Despite the economic crisis, this is still a good time to invest in Gold and crypto
The rich spend less and invest more
You're right I think Gold and crypto are the best to invest right now
Gold's are good but crypto is better ✅✅
me causally waiting for next week to get a Bugatti Chiron for $3,700.000 and they are all in my investment on crypto...
what is this crypto and why are people investing money on it ....?
This game is too much fun - I almost feel bad mowing down enemy troops cuz I’m having so much fun. Thank you Barbed Wire, or whoever.
Rimmy play Enlisted
don't worry the tractors are drivable
Germany only lost the war because Max Schwartz was KIA.
Max Schwartz was posthumously awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with oak leaves.
I like to think that Max was only injured and they came back to rescue him. Either way he was a legend.
When I was a kid and stayed at my cousin's, I would play battlefield 2 with them, just the demo of course
"You idiot but somehow hero at the same time.' - Every Purple Heart who got one doing something brave and stupid.
Max Schwartz for gallantry above the common soldier is awarded the Knight's Cross Posthumously
"Oh, they surrendered!"
Said Rimmy before ignoring the Geneva Convention and commits War Crime. >:D
"Oh they surrendered !"
*Instantly commits warcrimes*
>Just like Leggett used to do
Holy shit, is that a Brothers in Arms reference? Rimmy, you truly are a man of culture.
Max is a hero his sacrifice must be to remembered you need to take care his family too
The people of the Battlefield V community got pissed off that EA and Dice didn't add the Soviets to Battlefield V before giving up on it
Call to arms was basically a modern day port of the WW2 game men of war. This game is now a port of call to arms, back to WW2.
Now, I expect them to produce a port of this game, set in the modern day. The cycle must continue!
Max Schwartz, recipient of the Iron Cross with oak leaves, swords, and diamonds.
Max Schwarz understands Maxim 20.
If you're not willing to shell your own position, YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO WIN.
If max schazt would have survived this he would have one hell of a story to tell
Max Schwartz was a war hero. He shall be awarded the highest of honors post-mortem.
1:42 that mission is called ‘officers’ I think where the main objective is to find a car to load up a wounded officer and take him to safety, if you take too long the enemy will eventually call up an artillery strike and kill everyone
What goes up may bring something down
"Pavel, maybe shooting into the air was a bad idea"
A "czech tank"..a tear dropped from my Bohemian eye.
"the tank maybe broken, but the man isn't"
The man's arm: "yeah isn't 💀"
3:20
"Yeah just like Leggett used to do!"
*_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA_*
