I utterly adore games that allow so many players and so many units.

21:40: These cinematic shots are so fing sick, with armies marching around, shots flying everywhere, planes advancing through the camera... gorgeous xD

35:50 can we just appreciate for a second how crazy cool animated these Heavy Guns are? The barrel glowing red of the heat. Even tho its a super mass battle RTS with Thousands of Units at the same time of the field, the devs had so much love for their units that they animated such details in there. Just blows my mind.

self destruct = when you know that unit will die and don't want to leave wrecks

Wow. I'm only a few hours in to research on Beyond All Reason after finding out about it the other day, and it looks really interesting. I had a pretty bad time with the default experience on the client I downloaded to test out, but after seeing that this is the kind of thing that's possible (actual significant innovation in the RTS genre!), I'll give it a more thorough second try than I was intending. It's been years since I played SupCom, and I was never very good at it and never played multiplayer, so I'm glad this kind of content exists. The camera looks incredible on this.

what i love most about this game is the calm before the storm at the start and the corpselittered craterfloor chaos is whats left at the end

Super awesome! Definitely subbing to catch more BaR content. Coming at this from a SC2 angle and really enjoying it so far! Great cast!

Nukes get shot down very close to their silo. So at 30:30 the nuke was FROM Fontaine not AT him. It's just that static anti nukes fire really early as soon as the enemy is targeting their area. So look closer to where that nuke has been shot down, instead of on the other side. It's a bit counter intuitive. Also, Raghna couldn't fire his nuke when it was about to die, coz the Thors have EMP missiles, and it just got hit by one. Thors are often prefered to Titans as the experimental unit of choice for Armada exactly because of that EMP missile capability of the Thors. That bouncy lightning gun is also amazing.

Being a huge fan of Total Annihilation, this game looks just as I had hoped a new TA game would look. I'm so glad someone stepped up to to the plate to take a nostalgic swing again. I was never a fan of Supreme Commander. Felt way different and just didn't sit the same. Do we know if they plan to allow modding communities to create units and maps?

I like the high energy casting! Subbed and looking forward to future videos. I do wanna say tho, rotating the camera is a big pet peeve of mine for rts, as it can be really disorienting, but I would be curious to hear what others think

47:10 Logic behind selfdestruct is that in BAR when you selfdestruct units or buildings they don't leave a wreck (commanders still do tho) So if you have a damaged unit behind enemy lines it might be worth so selfdestruct it so it does not get rezurrected. Also MANY things explode more violently with self+d, that includes metal extractors, factories, light laser towers, fiends, mobile bombs, juggernauts and probably more that i didn't just see myself or test. also i think fiends do leave wrecks behind.... but well not 100% sure

This was an absolute joy XD Imagine a freaking 32 player game XD

Nice commentary its not easy to keep it flowing for an hour👍

It's a bit confusing when you show the map upside down, with the camera in the north pointing south and not in alignment with the minimap

I remember having so many units on the map in the original that my game would lag. The faster shorter range bots are good for flanking in mass

If you don't know who a unit belongs to, simply click it in TV mode and the view mode will switch to that player (you will see the name above the team UI change). You can also force icon display during hidden UI by disabling "hide when UI is hidden", and then change icon view distance to a very high one for the cinematic views of the battle field.

Those are some smooth camera transitions, well done.

If you click on a unit in spectator mode it tells you their name in the bottom left.

Would love to see more BAR!! 🙌🏾💜🔥

As always I really enjoy your casts, especially BaR ones but in such large team games it would be better to use teams colors instead of players colors in my opinion. I also have a bit problem with joystick camera movement. Overall I love that idea and it seems really nice but sometimes it's actually quite hard to focus on things ,maybe it's a bitrate problem, not sure. I'm not trying to be mean or rude but some improvements would be make your casting even better

That was fun to watch :)

thought this was a modded supreme commander. looks like a cool game, gonna check it out.

The logic behind the Self Destructs is that they don't leave wreckage that can be harvested. I noticed the Thors they SD'd were either far behind enemy lines or were almost dead anyways.

also some units like fiends have larger and more powerful damage radius when they self destruct as opposed to being killed

The Self destruct on the thors was probably because they were already low health, and for everything (I think) except coms if you SD it doesn't leave a body behind to revive. And don't quote me on this but I think sometimes it also has a bigger explosion if you sd instead of dying.

Those nukes need longer lasting mushroom clouds. :)

Can't wait when it's on steam

Epic battle in hilarious game!

i started watching this and i was like Wait what this is total anhilation but like newer tf XD had to do some research im stoked to play it now

bro wtf. this already looked better than SC1/FA & 2 combined. i just started playing the tutorial last night and i didnt know that the multiplayer matches can be this epic.

you nailed it

34:50 Prevents the enemy commander from getting the kill XP

We need an MMO Rts in the Star Wars format 😁

Way awesome!

Great cast and camerawork :P can you hide the unit overlays/player colors etc for far away shots?

Anyone know what the green explosions are that have all the lightning crackle? Such as around 37:10?

This is so cool! A childhood dream come true, for sure. (But, slight mistake: Game is set to "StarCraft" tho on YT.)

As i remember if you self destuct a unit, there is no metal left, that can be picked up by the enemy

very nice Supreme commander copy alternative . For plus goes not to big bases ,seems like you can focus more on Units instead base micro

I don't even know this game, but it sure was an epic battle

I don't get so much from watching BAR. I came for 16vs16 and stayed for the Koom Valley reference - A nod to Terry Pratchett's Discworld. It's the location for the start of the long standing feud between Dwarves and Trolls, both sides blame the other for starting it and battles keep happening there.

I don't play BAR but from my initial observation, it seems if he self-destructs the Thors they don't seem to leave a metal husk behind! 🕵

loved the vid !! please more 32 player BAR!!!!

Self destruct prevents there being a corpse to revive deep in enemy territory for them to use against you later

Self destructed units don't leave wrecks, so they can't be rezzed.

When self destructing a unit it will not leave a corpse. So they can't revive it and they can't reclaim it for metal. So if you have a big unit about to die deep behind enemy lines you can self destruct so they can't use the corpse to rebuild before you get back.

self destruct seems to not leave the thors bodies behind for the metal deny I think

Total annihilation meets modern day supreme commander UI

2 commanders = one people didn't connect so an other guy took his commander too so the team isn't at a disadvantage (even though that guy with 2 commanders has to micro a lot more, at least initially, but also has double the resources and building power).

That's crrrrrrrazy!

you said to comment for more videos. more!

This seems like it took inspiration from Total Annihilation. I absolutely love that game.

I'd love to play a freaking large scale RTS survival with hundreds of players around you in a FFA/alliances and everything where your intention is in taking the world.

Total Annihilation meeds Zero K meeds Star Craft. Nice to see how this old games melt into each other and go on and on again.

super cinamatic air force i must say 21:42

WOW, never seen that game. Is it TA successor? Seems pretty cool and a modern version of TA...

Can change volume with +- numpad keys

cool

Anh dodging the artillery on 1 health at 10:09!

The sumos kind of remind me of the Urbanmechs from battletech, both look like walking trash cans, both are slow and both carry only one gun. NO CUBIE DA URBIE.

I am at 0:01. I am going to take a guess and say that I am going to see a lot of comm explosions very early

what game is this?

Great game. You camera view was upside down from the mini map. made it hard to follow.

What game is this

Kinda sad that green's behemoth went completely unnoticed and also didn't really seem to do anything.

Are you Kibbitz brother or cousin or something? You sound like him and have the same enthousiasm

looks like supreme commander

Great commentary. It would be great if you could orient the camera the same direction as the map. Most of this video you have the main camera going the opposite direction of the minimap. It's a bit disorienting that way. If you just flipped the main camera around that would be so much better.

The caster sounds like he just got off his Star 100.7 disc jockey gig.

What game is that 🤔

Good job KZfaq game gesser, this is 100% StarCraft :P

madness?......THIS IS BAR!!!

Armada and Cortex is a lot like arm and core must be intentional, play many hours of TA way back when

like

Fun game. I want to get it

Im colour blind and its so ridiculously confusing when the camera is spinning continuously

self destructing doesn't leave a corpse to res or salvage

woah your voice is eerily similar to gametheory's matpat haha

more wood is needed 😉

rotating camera is bad idea, it makes it hard to compare which side is more progressing toward the others territory; on minimap player can be on right, while on main view he is on left, its just super confusing

Can i get replay?

woaw ! great video ! but you're not close enough to the action often enough :(

什麼遊戲

Yeah melting your pc 😉

I wish i bought this game instead of FAF

is this Zero K?

Uh, did you mute the game or something?

22:06 MightySheep ragequit and gives his base to one of the lowest ranked players?

Game name

Coming from Supreme Commander, I don't like how demoted the commanders are. They were always a source of a lot of drama and action. And nukes are very underwhelming(The slow nukes with powerful and long-lasting explosions and fallouts really expressed a lot of terror of nukes). Ability to observe the battlefield without all the range and sight indicators would be nice to reduce visual noise.

why youtube say this is starcraft

Is this true descendant of Supreme Commander FAF?

Is this GYLE?

Rts? I forgot the meaning

man! never EVER turn around camera around the battlefield! it's very hard to track the fight without const context. P.S. for Zog's sake - disable in-game music! no time to watch these replays on 1.0x speed. But settting 1.5x brokes music.

I like unlimited units, but even 8 players is too many.

Really cool unit numbers. But for me, the game is too fast paced. I liked Supreme Commander better, so I am holding out for Sanctuary.

This game is so hard to follow imo

You're a sucker for face lasers, but find the brick stupid. Isn't that a little illogical?

Man, why do you rotate with your camera all the time? It's unwatchable. Make either linear movements or zoom-in/zoom-out, no rotations... It's Ok for you to watch it, since you are the one who orders directions changes, you expect them. Others do not, so... Getting tired to watch it in 10 minutes.
