PROOF that STEEL DIVISION 2 is the BEST WW2 RTS on the market! 

That was a more thrilling 90 minutes than any of the latest Marvel movies. Motivated me to throw together a new C phase deck and get back into 10v10. Great stuff.

IS2. My favorite thing about this game is the persistent wrecks. It's always fun to peruse the battlefield afterwards and see all the carnage.

Thank you, Vulcan, for being such a evangelist for SD2, Warno, and Eugen games in general! The games that I love! It's people like you who give these games a presence, and thus allows them to survive and thrive in the RTS world! Thanks again!

SD2 is 110% the best WW2 rts. And it's one of the best RTS period. Ever

I've been short of money and been playing the base game for 3 years (+ the Vistula dlc) and it's the game I always go back to if I want to have a good night gaming. Also Vulcan! You've made my games so much better with your ambient advice in every video ❤

Make sure to share this with your friends if they like RTS! This Sunday I'm actually away, but every Sunday is usually Steel Division Sunday on my Twitch from 8pm till 12pm BST (currently GMT)! Also a couple of extra things for people new to Steel Division 2: - Most games do not last this long, it is quite regular to put a 50 minute time limit on the game. This is a 10v10 server hosted purposely for this 10v10 designed map that has a 90 minute time limit. (thanks to Hardzen!) - If you buy the game, claim the free DLCs and consider the History (Season) Pass for good value as it gives you 3 entire expansions, their respective campaigns and divisions. - If you are being removed from games for being inexperienced, make your own lobby for newer players. People will join OR come to my stream and get involved in the community!

I feel like I just watched the battle of Kursk, strangely happy it ended in a draw after such an effort by both teams.

The problem with this kind of games like Wargame too. Its so hard to get into MP, since there is players like u having 2000hrs. That really keeps me away from playing MP.

You don’t see people doing this sort of thing anymore, showing passion for a game and laughing through losses and wins. Thanks Vulcan, hope you continue playing this awesome game! IS 2

I bought it tonight after watching your videos. I wasn’t disappointed either. COH is so arcade like (and expensive) but this game is incredibly realistic. Thanks for the content and the information.

I think the big thing about "new players" with all strategy games is that the incredibly skilled high tier players end up stomping any newer players in casual games and that tends to kill the scene, as not everyone wants to dedicate an hour of their time to being absolutely crushed by someone with thousands of hours. Also Eugen communities can be quite toxic, all I have to say is "Wargame Chat" and people know EXACTLY what I mean, although WARNO has apparently been banning people like that which is pretty cool. I should probably join some more strategy game communities myself but I genuinely think those are my 2 big problems with the community.

I think that the learning curve keeps people away, for me I love watching game play and I do own the game but I barely play because micro in RTS games have never been my strong suit.

It's the best game since Close Combat battle of the bulge in the 90s, so it was a long wait for someone to make something that could top it. I am 52 years old and absolutely love this game and I have 4100 hours on this game and play mostly AG myself. I don't like playing online matches because of all the whining and hate on the Steel Division discussion forums.

I started playing sd2 last December and I really love it. There's nothing else like it. My main grip with the game, and I don't know how you'd fix it, is the sheer amount of babysitting you've to do, or tedious micro, let me explain. The game simultaneously in 1v1, (less so in larger lobbies) expects you to micro an entire front of rock paper scissor type units across a huge map. In conjunction with this, many units, let's take small infantry divisions have smoke grenades, so I need to manage an air force, artillery, close and long range infantry, manually move infantry around houses, tanks etc., and you expect me to have the time and ability to tell infantry unit number 78 to throw smoke in front of itself whilst a tank mows it down. I think Steel division 2 has the micro complexity of a smaller scale game, and thus on a large scale it becomes impossible. I'm sure there are many much better players than can manage all this better than I can, but it's a major deterent to new players. Eugen could boost the popularity of their game by codifing and streamlining smart orders to reduce the micro load, as a tangible, practical solution to make the game more popular.

Thank you for making these videos. I've always been a fan of RTS titles, but I just purchased SD2 yesterday and your videos were crucial to learning the important aspects of the game. I'm on a win streak against AI but I think I'm ready to get crushed in an online match. Thanks for covering the distance between casual RTS gamers, and the learning curve associated with SD2.

I would have loved to get into the multiplayer side of this game but I remember playing airland battle when it first came out as a noob and getting completely flamed by everyone in the chat for having a bad game, completely put me off

I've never seen this game before and yet I've watched this whole video becouse this game seems very iteresing with your casting of this replay. I'm all into ww2 RTS i came to your channel from your casting with AEcoh and i dont regret it, lovely conent you have on your channel IS2

Hi Vulcan , just wanted to say , great video , and you are so right, SD2 is really great ! Just wanted to say this, since i just saw the recent Eugen post, how SD2 will continue with its development, an entire new Tribute DLC ! Nice to see it will continue living on !

I had 8 katyushas on the right side going for KTs, they were the only way to stop the KT's from accumulating and becoming too difficult to deal with since there were more than 1 kt division in that game, sorry about that.

One heck of a blockbuster game. Bravo Vulcan! Thoroughly enjoyed your in-depth commentary throughout

The only disapointing part of this game is that I missed being in it, I am so mad at myself for that. This was so good!

had a lot of fun in this game, and the honor of playing this match! thank to you i be came fan of this games, keep it up vulcan! and the old SD 44 and RD

IS-2 ! No but for real, I've discovered this game a while back and even if I tend to play a wide variety of games, I just keep getting back to it. The gameplay is so good and the vast array of units makes me feel like a little kid in a toy shop whenever I make a new division preset, I just get unbelievably excited, especially when I see those bad vehicles that are there mostly for historical reasons like my precious Hotchkiss 35 :3. And of course when I discovered this game, I discovered you as well, which might be one of my favourite youtuber discovery of those last years. Thanks for keeping up the content and contaminating us with your love for this game ! :)

I had no idea this game existed. I’m a huge rts fan. The way this game approaches rts is very innovative with huge potential. If any dev reads this, and is unaware of the new Unreal Engine technology, it can actually render graphics at great distances all over the screen without hindering the fps. It is an extraordinary leap for game development technology. Can you imagine this game utilizing that tech? Maybe the evolution of rts we’ve been waiting for!

IS2!! SD2 is the best WW2 RTS game of all time, period lol. And this was a great representation of how the game shines. I've been watching Vulcan vids since the release of SD44 and this is one of the most exciting ever, great job and that KS for sharing!!

100% agree with Vulcan here. Best WW2 RTS out there. And in my opinion, best in general. I am the player that play this game for the Single player campaign aka Army General. I love it. Actual one of my favorite game. Haven't had the courage yet to switch to the MP mode yet. But I always watch Vulcans videos. Truly a great man.

I really admire your continued passion for Eugen's specific RTS niche, and SD2. All your tips, including the IS-2 / friendly shift-view order tip, really show the depth of your understanding of the game after, what, 2000+ hours you said?

IS-2 loved the long form vid. Great commentary as usual Vulcan.

Obligatory IS-2. Curious question, I've been watching a lot of your Axis campaign playlist and compared to nearly any multiplayer games. It seems that there's a lot less of the smaller mortars. Are they just not worth the points vs other forms of support weapons? This might just be me who is not familiar with the game and its meta. But for me the amount of mortars you can throw out in order to saturate an area for a potential push doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. I don't own this game, yet. I'm mostly a FPS player these days but this game and WARNO has really gotten my old RTS flame rekindled.

Have you played Calls of Arms: Gates of hell? Can't decide which one to buy

IS-2 is a very good tank in Steel Division 2. It's the equivalent of the german Tiger tank.

When i try whit my potato laptop, the lag get really bad when zooming out and mid game become really bad, i have been watching vulcan for a year and a half and he made me buy the game, but i was turn off by the game files size and tecnical issues 😔 Keep it up Vulcan your videos are bellissimi.

IS-2 Absolute madness in this game! Recently bought the game and have been enjoying it a lot. It is quite a steep learningcurve though, but rewarding nonetheless!

You got me into Wargame near a decade ago, awesome how much RTS content you have accumulated through the years. I recently got 3 friends to try Wargame:RD and surprisingly they all enjoy it, so that is another 4 players you have gotten indirectly into Wargame. Thanks for that. *[celebratory Buratino barrage]* I tried SD1 when it was published and did not like it at all, ended up ignoring Eugen Systems for some years. I only recently started watching SD2 videos and Warno has some potential to succeed Wargame, perhaps me and my buddies will hop into newer titles at some point.

Well I'm only 17 minutes into the video and already I know I have to buy SD2! I like your style of presentation and appreciate the helpful suggestions you make for those of us like me with zero knowledge of this game or even this type of game. I look forward to joining the community :)

IS2, watched this with glee, as a Wargame player, I am tempted to make the switch. Such a close finish too.

IS-2 Great video as always. Just reinstalled SD2....maybe I'll see some of u in game.

What puts me off to steel division 2 is that I find it to be very overwhelming. Learning all the different infantry, vehicle, arty and aircraft types, and how they behave, and how best to use them, when best to use them etc. Not to mention all the different divisions, and deck building etc. For me its juts a lot, and is pretty intimidating. None the less I do own the game, bought it a long while ago, after discovering your channel. You inspired me to get the game, and make it look so easy. I just wish I wasn't so overwhelmed by it.

SD2 is indeed the best RTS. I love all of your videos where you actually play yourself. Especially the long 10v10s. I watch them thrilled until the last minute. A little German lesson regarding 1:16:30 😃 "Spreng" = explosive. English "spring" (the mechanical object) would be translated "Feder" (which also means feather). And in German "Spring!" means "jump!". 😂

It feels like WW2 has suddenly reverted back to WW1 style battle of attrition and artillery. That right town became the successor to Verdun with all the indirect fire, and victory being measured in mere inches and meters. Imagine afterwards, the cleanup process for all the intact warheads and the deadly chemicals in the area. I think many soldiers are going face mental and psychical injuries of many descriptions, maybe even a few mutinies. I don't even think the belligerent nations would have any will towards such a war, I don't even think they would be able to manufacture enough ammo (let alone vehicles and manpower) such intense fighting for a month or two.

I understand that using artillery was the right move, but I just started to feel bad for you after like the 5th rocket strike. Also IS 2 lol

I have been watching you for a very long time. Spent some time in your streams as well, albeit that was a couple years ago when I had time to spare. Now I am a dad and I barely have time to play games at all. I tried playing SD1 just for fun, but I just can't do it. Am too slow to manage all these units. Still, I love watching games like this. It is so cool. So enjoyable. Thanks for the content bro.

IS2 Came for 5 min. to see whats the game about, bought it mid video.

So I got the game based on your recommendation among a few other content creators and this video isnt clickbait. The only thing missing from this game is players but I think people will eventually see it. Here's what my experience as a new player has been, and this game is tough to explain but fortunately easy to enjoy. Learning SD2 is actually quite intuitive and I think with the right mindset your learning experience is just losing a battle. It's surprisingly immersive. A new player can just do the tutorials and hop into a historical battle or something where the units you have are preset.I have too many thousands of hours in Paradox titles. They're great fun, but wow this is something fresh in 2023. It seems like the game has overcome all its early development I come over to Eugen and I try out some of their older titles. They're extremely complicated to learn. This game is really complex underneath, but it's doing all the fine micro for you. Your APM doesn't need to be crazy. It isn't even as frantic as CoH once you're used to a few keybinds. This games design is so cohesive and it has mass appeal. It has a lot of fun things like deck building but you can choose to skip that at first. I find myself wanting to try small changes to someone's decklist after just a few AI skirmish mode battles. I lost to the AI but had a really fun battle trying to ram a bunch of Soviet lend lease Shermans down a PaK alley. It was hilarious and sad to see about half my attack force gone in a few moments. I lost but did managed to get some self propelled artillery in position to constantly hit that PaK bunker. In the process I managed to set up an MG in a windmill and they started fighting back with my remaining armor. Eugen has a polished product that is simple at face value if you really want to just grind out against AI in solo in slow motion. If you want to pause and try different commands. The exciting thing is that unlike with some of the games I play, there isnt a ton of UI clutter. The controls are excellent. The simplicity of the menus is a nice disguise for the insane level of detail under the hood. This game is so polished. I think I said that, but it's like Eugen put thought into everything. You see a lot of arrows and weird overlays like the line of sight hes checking on his tank because tanks don't have good visibility so he wants to see what his tank crew can spot. I had a Tiger E transmission get knocked out in a previous loss. There's just a lot of amusement in the minutiae of the game. This game would be fun for a lot of people if they understood it was actually made for everyone. I believe this is more refined as a product than anything I've seen in the Grand Strategy genre. Sure, you can get a very simplistic game. This game is doing all that simulation for you and you will pick up knowledge along the way. There isn't a constant forced meta. There are players known for playing specific divisions. There are dozens in the base game and free DLC and you don't have to pay like $5 to have your tanks be modeled properly on the map (looking at Hearts of Iron, a game I have a lot of hours in lol). This game is champagne for grape juice prices. Imagine a game where every character is viable. There are stronger divisions but if you are determined enough or skilled at a particular playstyle, you can make it work. If you can play it well and find the right mix of units for a situation, you start to make adjustments to your own "battlegroups" which are just like decks. There's tons of units but the game restricts your new player view by telling you exactly which units a division can have. You're a divisional commander. A general. The resource system is simplified to focus on the core gameplay only. There is no mechanic that feels like "wow this is just bad design." No, I've played this game with a tired brain for 8 hours and loved every second of it. Every moment in solo I'm discovering things. You can "netdeck" like in some collectible card games. So you don't need to know how to fill out a division. There are missions and tutorials where that's done for you, but you should just approach this game with an open mind because I've seen a lot of what's out there. I'm not just talking WW2 games. In terms of online games in general, there is nothing that is built to guide you into finding your own playstyle. You don't need to memorize all the units. Just generalizations about what they can do. My advice as a new player to others is to use videos and guides but to also just try out the game in solo after watching a video like this. Play the tutorial. See your path to becoming a general like that. It's fun. It gets at strategy (which is simple at a UI and mechanical level relative to how much simulation is happening underneath...the attention to detail in this game is something you only see in games made with passion. Like the games made by people who are extremely talented and know exactly what they're doing. I bought all DLC for this game and noticed most of core units are just in the base game. You can get this game on sale for the price of a couple tabletop gaming miniatures - if that. This game satisfies so many things. It has amazing history and teaches you as you play through solo. The game is actually relaxing and more friendly feeling than anything I've ever experienced . I asked if anyone knew good beginner divisions and within 30 seconds, there were 3 people offering some gentle advice. But this game allows you to fail as a general over and over to no consequence. In real life you'd be fired at the least. Every Sd2 player makes mistakes. Everything is viable though. Again: -Runs on old hardware and looks good and plays fine. -controls are really simple -UI is so refined and perfectly informative -value is off the charts. There are games where single vehicles cost more than all the DLC on sale. This can be a sandbox if you want to just try crazy things against the AI. This is hands down one of the best values in gaming and probably will go down as one of the best strategy games of the era. The prices here are pretty reasonable but the DLC is slightly confusing. Tabletop game rulebooks can cost more than this. Steel Division 2 just wants you to notice it lol. I think that's really the only thing I would add to the formula. Just wait for a sale if you aren't sure, but this game is as close to perfection of execution and it doesn't require a huge burden of knowledge. There is a lot to know, but you don't need to be rank 1 to be a more interesting opponent to the high rank. Even skill mismatches will give the losing player some small victories within the battle. Another fine detail is how quickly this game boots up. It doesn't have a bunch of cutscenes when you fire it up. Most of the settings you can just leave default but the advice of the community is good. They are helpful. There's so many of hours of campaign with historical footage and voice acting. It will be many years before a game of this quality is produced again. In the meantime I'm going to appreciate what they've built here. The community is tight knit but very welcoming because I think all strategy gamers recognize which games are pushing the genre forward. Steel Division 2 is that game

Very entertaining. I always learn something from your commentary. One thing I'm curious about that perhaps you could address sometime... With line of sight being so critical, why isn't smoke used more extensively by players?

Just getting into this game. It's been brilliant so far. Tutorials could do with some improvement but other than that it's great. Interstingly your first point around the cost.... I just picked this up in the Steam Summer Sale for about £8 and another £3 for one of the DLC's (no idea which one). So, £11 for an incredible game........ and now.... back to watching your video!

IS2! Was a great video and it had me glue to the tele the entire time!

A pleasure to listen to you. I saw you on the field the other day and said thanks. Dredd

Thank you Vulcan for introducing me to this game. I’ve been playing constantly 10v10 every night am lvl 15 now :)

Iosif Stalin 2. Pog. Neat showcase Vulcan. o7

IS-2 Loved the reply and excellent commentary once again. Thanks once again for all the videos you produce and share with us.

The forced timer really ruined the ending of this match.

Average play count is Low because the other players don't take any time to let new players in. They boot them or call them noobs because they aren't Meta enough or whatever. Not even an opinion I've seen it for the last 2 years.

A marathon of a battle, showing how team members can support and reinforce each other. Yes the game looks beautiful close up. Its a rock-paper-scissors game with many types of units. I did watch it all. Great stuff.

That sweet sweet watchtime... Nice IS2 kill ;)

man i really like (is-2) It is just great

VulcanGaming: "Disclaimer! I'm not actually sponsored at any way by Steel Division. Although I wish I was. (Whispering) Call me".

Artillery was outrageously good in this game, I don’t play but I watch all your vids, my level of expertise sits at panzer commander level games, I would find the level of artillery frustrating as a player, but it’s sure fun to watch skilled players go at it.

IS2 I did watch it to the end and I really enjoyed it - also thanks to your commentary. Thank you for doing all this. I dusted off my copy of SD2 and started learning what the game is all about, mostly through your vids (and AtkPwr). Thank you for making the steep learning curve less intimidating. :) Love it, or as you would say: Awesome!

Steel Division 2 seems to be better balanced than WARNO rn since in WARNO its just massive blobs of spamming Tanks or inf

does this game have a story campaign?

Great video. Greetings from Spain.

Watched to the end. You said to mention the IS-2 that was on the ridge. Artillery, especially the rocket artillery, seem to dominate the battlefield. I would love to see the stats on what units are the real killers on the battlefield.

IS2 .... epic replay. Great stuff.

This game is one if not THE best GAMES EVER! Never get tierd of it, they really nailed it

SD2 is scaled very well. Love warno but it hurts me that in Eugen games WW2 AAA has more area denial ability than surface to air missiles lol

The 16th Panzer also got mechanized Infantry equipped with Sd.Kfz. 251's, which are very useful especially against lightly-armoured units but also infantry (espacially soviet infantry), it also got rocket artillery which can be devestating if enemy units are packed up close and all this is without the DLC's

Nah, this game is good, not the best.

IS-2. I have the base game and some DLC but still on my “bucket list”. Might be time to install and give it a try

IS2 :D I watched This Far! Nice Gameplay. Really Enjoy Watching ur Videos and Commentary =) Got SD2 myself but did not get myself to really start digging into it. definitley should do its a good game with a nice scale. Though I still prefer more the MOWAS2 scale with the more direct control.

IS152! Great vid! I even joined the Discord....

would love to see you dive into the modding swamp and try out the freedom mod its absolute chaos!

Hey dude i had this game from its release i never played online cause i dont want to mess it up for my team and i haven't had too much time to sit there and learn but i love thos game so much. And a big supporter of rts games like this. Send me your steam info and ill play online. And learn Baptism by fire lol

Nah..Gates of hell❤

IS 2 it was great game

Been playing rts since dune 1992. Combine this with a huge interest in WW2 and there it is. The answer to all my prayers. By far the best rts for me for perhaps ever. The learning is indeed quite hard but the process is fulfilling and when you understand how things work it’s Blitzkrieg time baby! 65 hours in and finally able to beat medium ai in skirmish. Oh yeah least I forget, the things your units say are hilarious. “Meine Damen und Herren, verbrannte Erde”

Oke no intro? Straight to business!

I watched this far, lol. I recently started playing this game with a few friends all coming from company of heroes 1 & 2. I got to say, this has to be the best ww2 strategy game so far and I am very glad that I found it. I am also planning to play this game competitively.

I S - 2 While I do love the strategical aspect of the game, I especially love the visuals. Those large Mitchell strikes were especially appealing lol

IMO the sheer volume and effectiveness of artillery (from about 17:30 and on) COULD make this video DISCOURAGING for people contemplating getting the game. As soon as you get enough force somewhere potentially to 'do something', you are on the receiving end of individual arty, MRLs and off-map, and that's the end of that. Then it's rinse and repeat. I'd go so far as to say that at some stages this game looked more like "arty strike simulator", where the whole point of all the other units was to give the arty targets, than anything else. That's leaving aside the question of just how effective artillery generally was against tanks - yes, I know it COULD be, but not at all guaranteed to be - let alone against something with the armour of a Tiger 2. I know it's a game, with 'hit points' (which for me is a down side, frankly, but I know why they choose to do it that way), but even so. Even were the argument to be "those divs have really powerful arty tabs" is not especially encouraging as there's nothing to stop them being used, and it's not as though others don't have powerful arty if not quite as thoroughly obnoxious. Your own side was throwing plenty back at them, too. Note I'm NOT saying "arty is OP" or shouldn't be in the game, I'm saying the peculiarities of 10v10 make using (arguably ridiculously) large amounts of arty more possible than if you're having to run a 1v1 deck, for example, but prospective new players wouldn't know that. 10 v 10 puts a lot of units in the field, but it also makes for what might LOOK like a pretty static, SEEMINGLY brainless slug-fest. I've found the videos of the Competitive League battles FAR more engaging and a better showcase of the intricacies of what the game offers given the choice of forces plus where, when and how they are deployed can and do prove decisive. I've enjoyed your videos, plus those from AttkPwr (and especially those where you did commentary together). Those are the videos I'd recommend to people who genuinely are interested in seeing the game in greater detail. I don't mean this at all to say "this video is bad" or anything similarly silly. It is beautiful to look at. There's a lot going on. But as an advertisement for why you'd want to buy the game and get into it? Not so sure. I bought the "General Deluxe" version in the sales around the New Year where it was discounted 75%, plus gave copies to a few friends. We've all been playing war games since before home PCs existed, way back to the great Avalon Hill games etc, as well as Tractics (a rule set for 1/72nd scale tank models plus inf, guns etc on large floor areas). WtH, we're getting old, LOL. Thanks for the content, Cheers

I bought SD2 on GOG two years ago and have just shy of 3 hours of gameplay (yeah, I know, sheer blasphemy). One of the main reasons why I put off playing it was the lack of DLCs. I actually bought some of them back then. Anyway, thanks for the enthusiastic video. I needed a bit of external motivation to get back into it, I guess. :D P.S. IS-2. xD

I feel much more overwhelmed with SD2 than Graviteam tactics games. IDK why and how, but high pace management is probably the main reason, I'm not good with a keyboard and mouse, and the game goes way too fast for me. Mechanics are way more pre-battle oriented with Mius front and I can appreciate the cinematic view more. Game having realistic moving speeds for any unit and more realistic overall render visually. (darker and saddest ambience if that makes sense) SD2 has nothing wrong by itself, its gorgeous in many aspects and I understand its success, just a matter of taste. (I see it a bit too "cartoonish") I really love the replay feature beside that, which isn't a thing with Graviteam's. In short SD2 feels Hollywood production, when Graviteam feels more undeground Eastern prod. If those were movies.

If you want more tactical experience, then try 8v8 Gates of Hell: Ostrfront :D If you want Cold War experience. Try Wargame: Red dragon or WARNO Broken Arrow is also interesing title. You can also try Theatre of War, Graviteam series... xD

Well that all very well, if you live in England or the US, when you live in South Africa at 20× 1 exchange rate your 35.00 pounds is out of reach. Also whst a lot of content providers forget we cant aford to buy up to date rigs that can run these games, my computer with its motherboard grafics chip and 16 gigs of memory ram cannot run any game post 2012. A new rig taking the crazy exchange rate into account would cost R60,000.00 Rand or 8 months rent. So be grateful you are so privileged!

Thanks Vulcan, I really LOVE watching you play and I own a copy of the game, but playing it makes me so frustrated that I never stick with it. It just has such a steep learning curve and I can't figure out where to begin, even when I watch the beginner tutorials. 😢

Normandy 44 had much better looking maps. There was more detail in a 1200m radius of anywhere on Mount Ormel than than in the entirety of Tannenberg. They should port the maps over. SDII is significantly better in gameplay and has more than 5x the divisions of Normandy. Also no one plays N44 anymore. But it had to be said. SD2 maps just aren’t as charming or detailed as it’s predecessor.

Vulcan: "Steel Division 2 is one of best RTS game on the market" Also Vulcan: 90 minute video of a stalemate XD IS2 I'm only kidding of course I love this game and I watched the whole video.

It's a good game. But honestly, the scale is just to big for the pace. Should be turned based or something. You simply can't focus on all 3 or 4 or 5 fronts you're fighting on at once. And constantly lose vehicles and men because of it.

amazing videos, i just bought the game with my brother and you are a godsend, i never tought i will watch an almost 2 hour long video about sd2. But your commentary, and education is extremely good. Thanks ❤

Nice video thank you. So this game is one of those you kind of have to play zoomed out then? I mean there's no fine control of individual units like say in Gates of Hell : Ostfront ?

YOU WEREN'T AROUND FOR RUSE YOUNG BOY!!!!I was 12 when I was introduced to ruse. ever since I've been hooked to the series. im 23 now.

Honestly the thing that makes steel division hard to get into (for me) is that the world war 2 weapons are just harder to intuitively know what to do with! Warno with its modern warfare - tanks, ATGM’s, infantry with strong RPG’s, helicopters, much more intuitive, i recognize a lot of the weapons from media etc. SD2 - im looking at the armory and going ‘what the hell is this thing’ 😂

I played my first multiplayer game today and got steamrolled in about 5 minutes. Safe to say I'm not going to play anymore multi until watching your videos 100 times over. Update, I played a couple more multiplayer games and not only got steamrolled again in a 10v10, but the multiplayer community is exquisitely awful. Nothing but trash talking and no support to actually have a genuine competition or helpful tips to get better.

Sorry, I dont trust Eugene. I bought ALB, they abandoned it, I bought RD and they abandoned it too, I bought SD 1 and suprise suprise, they abandoned it too. If the game is for 5-10e I will buy it.

It’s not the game (had over 800hrs in SD 1), it’s just real life will not let me sit down and play 90minute matches. Having two kids under 5 really hits your gaming time. I had to turn to more pick up and play type of games. Wish I could play it though

I started plays sd2 like 2 weeks ago and have been having a blast. I think the biggest thing that turns people away in this game is the learning curve, but once you get the basics, learning a little more every time becomes very enjoyable

Trying to decide between this and Graviteam MIUS. I just get worried that, being an RTS, it'll be less like WW2 tactics and more of a super fast FPS arcade game with too much happening at too frantic a pace. I also need to dig around to be sure that a) the game can be played solo and that b) not every game has hundreds of units such that you drown in a sea "too much to do".

Much overdue, I’m a fan of steel division 2 but I’m really bad at multitasking and being aware, as well as oh no I’m losing but wait I forgot to bring it troops panic time. So I’ve never gotten into multiplayer, but I might try out mp now that I know there is a boot camp discord, hopefully I can find those like me in 10v10s don’t know if I’ll ever be ready for a 1v1

As Vulcan already addressed the problem out DLC's, i'd just like to say that on instant gaming, you can have the vast variety of the DLC addressed for this game for no less then 12-15 dollars, so if your really interested in the game and wants to expand your possible divisions to play go visit instant gaming to purchase the DLC for nearly nothing.

Exhausting to watch. Dont like such games. Max lenght per match shud be 30min. Europe in ruins is the best RTS by a longshot.
