Easy Red 2 is already released for Xbox too! It plays wonderfully on steam deck as well! (use gyro aim!), flying the fighter bomber planes is a blast with the steam deck controls! (or a gamepad).

I know I am sharing a post for dlc for a game... and I also know I recommend Easy Red 2 a lot but it is because the game deserves so much more attention.

Let me try to convince you:

1. The base game is cheap, under $10 for a multiplayer battlefield-like game with no bullshit microtransactions, no liveservice nonsense, no required account creation and login and necessary anti-cheat creepy access to your computer... it is just a game you buy for ~$9 and play either online or offline.

2. The gunplay is good, like.. maybe not the best game ever but it is satisfying, guns feel realistic, machine guns behave like big bulky machine guns, this is a fun fps just on the merits of its core fps mechanics.

3. This game has big maps with TONS of different historically accurate!!!! vehicles. Tanks, half tracks, trucks, jeeps, tanks with rocket artillery strapped to the top, oddball tanks that went obsolete quickly into the war.... the list goes on.

4. The AI gunners are good enough (not amazing by any means) that if you just want to chill and drive a tank around and let your crew blast away infantry/bots you can. Or you can take control of the driving and firing and handle everything yourself.

5. Want to botbash ravenfield style? You can. You can do it with friends in a private multiplayer game or in a multiplayer game, pvp or pve.

6. The game runs well on potatoes, I have zero issues running Easy Red 2 on my steam deck, which also means relatively good battery life!

7. There is quite a bit of DLC, but it is interesting DLC that attempts to explore the full historical span of WW2 battles rather than just hyperfocus on the pop culture touchstones that usually get retold in movies and games. This is fun both from just the plain variety to scenarios, landscapes, equipment and vehicles that the DLC offers, but also from a WW2 history nerd who doesn't just want to see another D-Day level it is much more interesting.

This has quickly become my favorite big map vehicle battlefield-like because the gameplay is really solid and part of the core focus of the developer is creating a free moddable platform for others to create new types of games on. Even if tactical/milsim type games aren't your thing there are already mods like "Casualfield" that make the gameplay much more like call of duty or battlefield.

Check it out!

p.s. the game is getting review bombed by trolls ignore the "mixed" rating, the game has some rough edges, but it is legitimately great fps as it is

Here is a playtest stream from today, I played in the same match and it was a blast! (I roasted their HAB/FOB with an apache... playing with my steamdeck with onboard controls lol I am sure they had no clue somebody was playing with a steamdeck, especially not the apache that was hunting them from just behind the trees...)

^it plays well on potato computers too, I mean I have to framelock my steamdeck at 40fps and turn the graphics all the way down pretty much but whatever, I am basically playing ghost recon 1 but with vehicles and I am completely fine with that lol.

Like AAA studios do, I frantically edit my creation after unwisely releasing it prematurely to try to salvage some goodwill with people.

...maybe I missed my calling as a AAA game studios owner!?!

incompetent half-assing is rarely this morally righteous of an act too, since your one act of barely-competent-enough incompetence is transmuted into endless incompetence by becoming training data/qc feedback

I know this sub is about biodiversity but that is the mindblowing thing, the incredible diversity of minerals on earth (and my oh my the diversity is overwhelming) is a consequence of the incredible biodiversity of life, and it is not unlikely that it worked the other way too, a diversity of minerals may have been a formative part of the development of life.

A diversity of minerals/chemical may have facilitated the formation and diversification of life which fed back into the further diversification of minerals...

It suggests a beautiful perspective to understand ecosystems and the essential role of diversity for stability.

Operation Harsh Doorstop is a single and multiplayer tactical shooter with vehicles and large map support, it has mod support (a core objective of the dev) and crucially support for autodownloading server mods when players join the server.

The bipod system is quite impressive and overall OHD has really solid tactical shooter mechanics... but this isn't only a game for realistic tactical shooter fans. Case in point some servers use the Casualfield mod which tweaks the game to play more like Call Of Duty.

I am a huge fan of this game because the developer genuinely seems to be passionate about bringing a super solid big map multiplayer vehicle shooter foundation to the modding community, this game might seem a bit barebones right now but when you step back and consider how OHD is going to empower indie developers to easily get their hands dirty and start innovating on the shooter genre (and other kinds of games too) you can begin to see how exciting the future is for this game.
