Musket Warfare in VR - Pavlov has Peaked

Pavlov VR and it's insane custom maps are some of the best VR shooter content on planet earth. Holdfast in VR is a great concept, and it's made for some of the funniest moments of my gaming career. Not sure how Pavlov keeps it up, but the Pavlov VR community continues to make the best new VR maps, and Holdfast is just the newest one that I have found. So excited for tonight...

Putting muzzle loader shot into the powder well is the smoothbrain things I'm here for

I was playing Pavlov around September when the host randomly went to this map. It was only me and the host and what I didn't know at the time is that I was playing with the dev. Super chill guy

Shame it doesn't have 200 people like actual holdfast, i'd love to see the absolute carnage that Vr would offer

1:54 habie accidentally dropping a long forgotten racial slur while trying to imitate an early 19th century British soldier is just... it's too spot on.

6:48 I'm a bit of a Napoleonic warfare history buff. I don't know that there was a significant difference in the quality of the cannons on each side. I do know that both sides had lots and lots of cannons in every single battle. For a typical battle the number of troops in the army is reported in the tens of thousands, and the number of "guns" (a.k.a. "cannons") is reported in the hundreds. I believe Napoleon tended to have more cannons (ex: if his opponent had 150 cannons then Napoleon probably had ~200 cannons), but mostly he is famous for how he used his cannons, grouping them into massive concentrated "grand batteries", while his opponents were more likely to keep their cannons spread across their line.

Also worth mentioning, while Napoleonic warfare inexplicably has a reputation for being clean and polite and glamorous (probably due to very effective propaganda at the time, aimed at getting people to support the war effort), it was actually absolutely fukin brutal. In the aftermath of a big Napoleonic battle you could probably walk from one end of the field to the other without ever stepping on the ground because there were so many bodies. Tens of thousands of casualties were suffered in battles lasting less than a day on fields only a few kilometers across.

as a black powder nerd i hate the reload and now want a full, actual effort put in linebattle game in VR more than ever. Like war of rights but in VR would just be my life complete.

time to download pavlov again for the 3rd time

Your talk about cannons suddenly gave me flashbacks to a Russian film that shows the gruesome horror of what it’s like to be under fire from cannons in linear warfare.

Now my mind can’t help but think about how traumatizing it is to see ten or so men right next to you get eviscerated by a ball of metal while the funny whacky woohoo VR man plays Pavlov in the background.

I love habie's memes in the intro. "HOLD ON TO THE FISH! HE FLOATS!" im dead

[baltazarriosdelbarco]

I love how every time he tried to cite the century of the Napoleonic wars he missed by like 300-400 years lmao

[ZiggityZeke]

Guns reload so slowly it's basically a turn-based RPG 💀

[MikeM]

I own a real flintlock and it’s fun at the range, but I can’t imagine how annoying it would be to deal with in battle. Especially if you forget the black powder or have a clogged flash hole or of course... rain. A flintlocks worst enemy!

best moment in this map is when the admin pulled out an ak

"5 Skins to choose from and they all look great!" - Closeup of a deformed nightmare face. Looks fun as hell, time to boot up Pavlov again.

[RealSharpenIron]

No joke, I would play a full game of this in VR.

[kekovskigeronimothehero]

please keep the chill, relaxing, happy, motivational endings in your videos. They are the best parts of the video for me and that says something when I literally watch every second of your videos. Thank you for the ending and I hope something good happens to you as well:)

Safety PSA
Remember kids: ALWAYS assume a gun is loaded and ready to fire.

[Krozin]

mount and blade napoleonic wars was suuuper fun for me, so it makes a lot of sense that something like this would translate well to vr. Good videos man, keep it up.
