Tarkov Would Never Be the Same | The History of Tarkov, Part 4 

Did anything from this episode surprise you? Maybe you're new and had no idea about - or maybe a veteran that forgot/didn't know was happening at the time?

I am here to humbly ask for part 5

I love this series and it strikes me that one of the things that makes EFT so unique is the fact that it could actually warrant a series like this. Very few games actually have this kind of iteration.

Something id love to see after this series is down is a recap of all the changes done to every map over the course of EFT's history. Just seeing small clips of old customs has me feeling ultra nostalgic

RIP old movement, recoil, pk-06. You will be missed.

Love this series so much. I get old man syndrome from playing this game for almost... god, 5 years now. One of the best games ever. Thanks for the video series; love having such a well documented series to look back at.

You are the GOAT of Tarkov Intellect

The best thing about veritas is that he's the only one that's bold enough to expose the game in the tarkov community, everyone else will either sugarcoat it or make some excuse why it happens that way, veritas is just straight bold.

Watched the latest Pogcast where you and Jesse were talking about the different types of videos you create and their 'success'.... I can undoubtedly say these kind of videos are by far my favorite and watch them every time. I don't come to this channel for highlights, your stream is there for that, it's these type of videos. Great stuff @veritas, keep it up!!

This managed to give me nostalgia for the game even though I haven't started playing until 2020

One of the best gaming video series I've watched ! Have loved every part so far, and love the montages through out !

Man watching this makes me realize how much i miss playing without inertia :(

Awesome video, so well done. Can’t wait for the next one!

One of, if not the best one yet! Thanks for all the effort this had to have taken! Love the content!

2 minutes in and my mind is blown at the things ive forgotten about this game. this is art.

i've been waiting for the next video in this series and it did not disappoint. Thank you for all the hard work you've put in, V. Very happy to be apart of your community. Take care good sir.

I don't usually watch Tarkov videos but dude, everyone must appreciate the time you put into some of your videos, it's impressive. Nice work!

QUALITY!! good stuff veritas. The edit of you in dorms is hilarious

Seriously awesome content. This will be easily the most in depth history of the game when it finally releases. Your hard work has had a huge impact on the game and the player base. I'll be hopping on that Patreon! Much love you grump♥

@Veritas, well done, did watch it from start to finish, i did like the way you explained everything

thank you for the amount of work you put in this kind of videos, been watching ur content for a while and its very well executed and with a lot of thought put into every part of what u make, dont stop man, i think tarkov and gaming comunity in general needs more veritas.

I appreciate how Listenable you make your videos. I watch/listen to these at work so thanks

Another excellent video. Can't wait for these to catch up to where I started playing in early 2020!!

I love your long documentary style videos, thanks for doing them!

This is seriously a must-see series if you're a fan of this game. Thank you for your hard work!

This game is amazing but I'm finding this channel, the content covered, the narration provided, the perspectives offered, totally invaluable to the EFT community. Especially for new players. This channel has helped me to enjoy this game more than my own game played has. Looking forward to more awesome content like this. I Especially love the ones that help newer players like me understand the game, basic mistakes made, and ideas to train better habits or to gain better perspectives as we gain experience. Thanks for what you do.

Props for the eye popping detail here Veritas, I've said it before, detailed analysis is where you truly shine. So funny seeing baby pestily! Amazing to see how far the game has come too. Clips at the end were hilarious!! 😂 Oh and what the actual hell kinda marsupial is on sequishia's top lip, absolutely unreal moustache game!!

I didnt know how i could simply click the notifications in the handbook thanks ! Great video as always!

ITS HERE! YES!🤘🏻 Started playing just before .8, really been looking forward to this episode... Edit: Man there was so much stuff I missed/didn't remember from that time period. Playing off and on, I missed a lot of updates, and just came back to the game with the "oh this is new" feeling. No scavs on Interchange.. never knew! Another great video V! The video essays are always unreal, keep up the great work!👍🏻

Comments for the comment gods. Awesome vid as always V, the amount of love and craftsmanship you put into your work is clearly visible.

Excellent. Great video man. Can’t wait for the next one, that’s when I came in, January of 2019 patch 11 I believe.

As someone who joined in on patch .12 this was a really cool video series. Thanks for the effort man it's appreciated

Amazing and in depth as always, well done.

Dude appreciate the time and work that goes onto making such a good video that's a hr long. Hats off

Its neat to see the progression of the game over the years. Also neat, is seeing old game play as well as the OGs that I, much more recently, watched and got me hooked on the game b4 I ever played it. I just started in April of last year and its crazy to me just how crazy different the maps and game felt to a very lost noob. Sometimes I still get flashbacks of how I felt that trigger while I'm in raid. Cool stuff, V. Thank you!

I remember running Shoreline when they first added the mosin and you could hear any time anyone reloaded their mosin from across the map. It was so broken but it was also just another growing pain. Great video!

Such an incredible video. Thanks again Veritas

Stoked for this vid! Thank you Veritas 👏

The old you licking the mosin, priceless, also good edition, good narrative, i love it

20:15 that video was something else veritas, didnt think you would spoil us with free content like that

i just found this series a few days ago. awsome that u continue it.

17:20 bro I started laughing so hard as I knew what was coming. Listening to my teammates scream "nikita my fucking legs" was a memory I completely forgot I had

Man this is a quality vid, well done man

Loved the video man. For someone who is loving and hating their first wipe, I thoroughly enjoyed the history of how it all began

Awesome work thankyou veritas, bsg should be your sponsor. You have been with them since day dot and have helped them far more than they care to admit 😁

I need part 5 now please! its exactly when i purchased the game. i want to see what the thoughts about the game were, since i was busy learning the game :) also great video V, enjoyed every second of it !!

Please we need more parts! I started tarkov in Jan 2019. And the way tarkov plays now is so different.

It's nice to know the iconic VeritScream just gets higher fidelity year by year

Good shit per. Usual my man👍🏾

Amazing work hopefully we get the next episode soon

Thank you for this videos! Stay like you are!

Thank you Veritas!

I live this series. Thanks so much Veritas

THANK FOR YOUR ENTERTAINING WORK BUDDY

Wow so many quality of life improvements. Thank you Professor

Keep 'em coming, V!!!!

YOOOOO love to see worrun clips, i love worrun a lot, about equal with you, im really drunk and watched partial of this on primer but good content veritas! ive always loved your style

Part 4 from 10, i mean comn bro. There are nearly 4 Years you dont have, make more parts i like this stuff of videos good work veritas!

Theses videos are really good, not sure why I waited this long to watch it. Maybe it was the length that scared me a bit.

The handbook will always be a mystery. A change i would love to see is if they let you browse the wiki in-game through the handbook tab.

OH MY GOD thank you for mentioning the handbook clear, I had no clue

This is some quality content right there

cant wait to see part 7 the 12.10 patch just to learn what they added

@Veritas, the flick-toss on that pocket reload was clean asf.

Again a week made complete and honest recap of the development of EFT! Well done sir, well done 👍

This is my most watched game that I'll never play.... Tarkov is amazing standard in tactical shooters. So much work has been done. Plus live action mini series is amazing!!

I would love for you to make more videos like this with commentary about all the updates

Nice, I loved learning aobut Tarkov's history. Tarkov's my home now.

This is the best series ever !

I just binged the previous 3 episodes after having them in my watch later for months. I assumed you weren’t gonna make anymore

This man is the Ken Burns of Tarkov

My best memory is just several weeks-ish, in the timea after Shorelines upgade, checking out the entire area as a squad. It was my first raid running a modified M4A1, as I'd been sticking to AK74s and 74Us, because I love Goldeneye it being my first Bond Movie. We had a contact a few hundred metres ahead of us, a chunky bloke. He was closing the distance. We were towards the Gas Station/UAV side of the map, a few hundred from the hillside of the Resort, and he was just before the base of said hill. We'd decided on loadouts, and I had the CQC M4A1, so I was running a Brake of some sort- so, loud- and a Holosight. Yes I'd splurged on the Stock, Handguard and Grips, but, I'd gone budget on Scope and Muzzle because Holos were the best choice for CQC without the Flea, and I didn't have much of a choice in Muzzles. The 4 of us drop prone and begin to engage, as the guy had come to a dead-halt to draw his gun up to aim. We started going Cyclic after he took a couple of hits, turned, shitting his dacks, booking to the hillside. I think we had an AK74 for medium ranges, my M4A1 CQC, and 2x M4A1s set up for DMR duty. This guy got his leg taken from under him, so he dropped prone to try and get shot less and fix his lesser injuries. He died then and there. We make our way over... M4A1 from a PMC was on his back, nice 226 was in his holster. His head had a barely-damaged FAST-M.T. with the Mandibles and a God damned RSASS kitted for mid range combat, and he had loot in his Blackrock and Tri-Zip. We'd dropped a 3rd of his FORTs durability. I got a headshot AS he dropped prone. I was suddenly terribly, terribly RICH. We all begin to desynchronise madly, as we moved on, and by the time we got to the resort as a squad for the first time, I disconnect. I fade out to the sound of an angry Scav. Panicking like crazy I reconnect ASAP. I hear heavy breathing. I hear gunfire. My screen never made it. I died before I'd finished loading. To A.I. Turns out the Eo-Tech Holographic Sight kill, a headshot, was 157m. So, a win I guess.

This is when I started playing and holy shit the game has come a long way. The nostalgia is insane.

Thats not just a youtube video - that's a complete Movie. Thank you!

I started playing in May of 2018. Ultra nostalgia with this video.

I like how the trailers such as the one around the 5:00 mark make it look like gunfights are long and engaging, when in actuality they are over in seconds because either you head/eyes them or they do to you. Good fights in Tarkov are once in a blue moon.

Stacking tactec on top of Zhuk... man those Lab raids were sweaty AF! 😁

Man, I love everything about this game save actually playing it.

I love seeing you have so much fun lol

great memories of tarkov, very well done

tarkov was the first game I got when I got my PC, after watching this I felt like I was so late to the party. I started when reserve was first added and I claim to be an "OG" for remembering the glorious time before found in raid. Back when there was just the global max for ammo.

Hell, this is my first wipe and I've only been playing maybe a month and a half lol. Lvl 20 and loving it

started just before 0.8 ready to see how far the game has come from here!

The recoil looked so much better way back, this is my second real wipe (I came in at the tail end of one wipe) and never even saw the old recoil system.

This episode is both great and painful nostalgia for me

Yoo can you please make the next episode I will love to see what was added to the game when I started playing I love this type of videos

Watching old clips makes me so happy to have inertia

LOVE IT! 2019 gonna be good

HAHAHAH THE PETTYSLOTH CLIP WAS SLIPPED IN 43:15, If you know you know, I love you for adding that one in XD

Most surprising thing from this episode was seeing Veritas without a beard for a brief moment there ;) Amazing video as always!

The "Looking for group" button was also added to improve the performance and lower the loading times by lowering the amount of data that had to load. For a similar reason the global chat was no longer turned on by default in the main menu.

honestly the biggest surprise is how much more you can see before than now for me my shadows are practically black now than before

Crazy how i started the game way back in 0.9 with reshala. This game has a beautiful history and im happy ive been a part of it. I hope im still alive to see it leave BETA!

It has its ups and downs but damn do I love Tarkov

if the development of tarkov could be summed up in one short phrase that best sums up it's entire history in one go, it would have to be, hands down, "wow, we really didn't think that through eh?" .. still best fps of all time, okay byyeee

Tarkov has come such a long way, looking forward to what’s next.

22:51 You've been hit by- *slam*-*slam* You've been struck by- A Smooth Scavman

Being bad at tarkov and relying on offline mode only . . . I kind of taking a look in the handbook from time to time. It's cool to see what kind of items are out there and I can look at something long enough so I will be able recognize it immediately when I'm in a raid.

When your boy got rushed by reshalas guard on dorms I literally laughed so hard 😂

This is so awesome
