Today we're going to look back at the Flash Game Series of Warfare with 1917 and 1944. I rediscovered this series when working on my The Last Stand video. It's bananas to me that another one of my all time favorite flash game series comes from the same developer - Con Artist Games. Chris Condon has made some bangers for sure. I hope you folks enjoy the video! :)

    "Air support. Air support. Air support." Its fire support.
  • @davidgrunga
    These games were ones that I’d come back to for years and years after I found them as a kid. Con Artists were truly great devs being able to do what they did in Flash
  • @khoaanh2224
    For a studio named Con Artist Games - I have never been scam by them. What a surprise.
  • Just one point of clarification. All of the fire support abilities in Warfare 1917 are from Artillery fire not aircraft.
  • @GaryHamad
    What hooked me to these is The Sounds, The Sounds of Guns, Machine Guns, The Tanks Tracks Rolling in, The Artillery Shells, God The PTSD just hearing The Artillery The Sounds of PTSD
  • Fun fact : For a short period of time there was a multiplayer, modern war version of Warfare series called Warfare : Online It was pulled from steam a few months after early access and never came back. It was excellent though
  • @user-lb8fj4vz8k
    The closure of flash games is one of the hard broken tragedies in gaming history.
  • @Kjrov
    I remember switching regularly between the Warfare 1917 and 1944, Mud and Blood, Strike Force Heroes, Feudalism, Madness Interactive, and Swords and Sandals... Man, this takes me back. Watched your Last Stand video, and was hoping you'd do another one just about this series. Con Artist deserves all the praise. Keep up the fantastic work.
  • @TuanAnhLeIV
    These two game are pretty much my childhood and play big part in me becoming a war history enjoyer.
  • @canatack9596
    man, if only we got a Warfare 1960 based on the vietnam war/cold war… would’ve been dope
  • @derptomistic
    Three riflemen in one trench was always the surefire way to stop any advance Until they brought in a tank, then you hope that fire support can deal with them..
  • @ensey.
    I remember as a 10 or 11 year old kid always doing 1917 skirmish mode and I'd always only enable riflemen, assault, and officers and no support for either side. 5 trenches. I'd sit and watch them take potshots at each other from opposing trenches, replacing soldiers only when the whole unit was killed. One officer and two riflemen squads with a roving assault unit for when I wanted to spice things up. I always used to win on morale after just sitting watching and imagining what was happening in greater detail, making up orders the officers would give to the silver star squad leaders and whatnot. I haven't played in over a decade. Same for 1944, on the map hedgerows or large town I'd enable only machine gunners, officers, and infantry and just watch basically
  • My god the sounds where just perfect, i can still hear the rain and the shells falling i'm the trenches. What a throwback
  • @latewizard301
    Played tons of Warfare 1917 as a kid, because we had just learned about WW1 so pretty much everyone were playing it. I can just imagine if Battlefield 1 was out at that point. Didn't play much of Warfare 44, because i was more interested in the first game and also started playing RS at the time.

    Happy they're coming to steam someday

    I just finished watching your video on TLS a few hours ago and now you got another covering Conartistgames. I like your format so far and cant wait to see more from you covering some of the most nostalgic flash games from the 2000s if you ever do such as Sift Heads or Echoes Stranglehold
  • @IowanMatthew683
    God, how nostalgic! These type of very well designed flash games got me through high school. Thanks for the memories!
