Because of this game I studied real ww2 squad formation and I can say that the core of the unit was the officer spotting and the machine gun emplacing ( together with 1-2 guys supplying the machine gun ) and the rest of the squad was supposed to spread out and look for enemy fire ( to snipe ) while machinegun starts barking. Works in HLL all the time and this is what I am always trying to achieve with my squad.
This explains so much about why EVERY ZOGGING TIME when I'm an officer stuff works perfectly, but as soon as I do anything else everything always goes to hell. (me on officer: 90% binos, always finding the best spot for outpost.. Nearly never shooting.)
@@GundamReviver Same here, been playing for a few years and I still cannot let a mute or uncapable person be my officer. When I am not officer, I lack an outpost and guidance as well as spotting (the enemy).
@@thehipsterking2184 this, but when you do play SUDDENLY year team moves in a deadly blob and can basically solo 4x the amount of enemies right? 😂 It's hilarious.. BUT I WANT TO PLAY A NON OFFICER SOME TIME TOO DAMNIT, let me play with fun guns already :p
My cats sit on my lap when I'm gaming and they like to watch so the slightest movement they'll always see first and i know there's an enemy about when their ears twitch. Yep i have a feline spotter squad haha
Speaking of sounds, if you're in a covered area being sneaky, stand still from time to time and listen for footsteps. If you hear footsteps and see no friendly markers near you on the map, the enemy is near. It becomes easy to surprise people when you realize this.
I do this all the time. In a second story house and hear footsteps on the wood floor below? Check your map quick. No blue dot? Enemy just pulled a B&E and you must protect your house.
Also brings up the excitement fear factor if you and a few boys in the squad are creeping along a long and tall hedgerow and you hear stomping on the otherside then you know there's a enemy squad mirroring your flank and you're about to have a short and bloody fight real fast.
On some games i things get muddled but on vigor or hll i can hear people before i see them a lot of the time its a real advantage when yoj stand still or drop down and hear them moving and line up a perfect shot
As an ex nco And a inafantry Squad leader: movement reveals you, especially movement from side to side. If you need to move, Move fast And observe The surroundings all The Time. Try to avoid going over Hills unless detected already. Try to choose a route that gives you an possibility to disengage with relative ease And conceilment. When detected, move in short bursts, in Finnish army we have a proud tradition of "syöksyminen", basically every soldier has to Be able to dive from standing to prone And ready to fire with one Swift movement, fire a couple of shots And jump up And sprint two Steps or so And dive Back down. The Squad members do this one by one on repeat. Thats The best way to advance in forest. Oh And Also, never create a line of defence right in The tree line, always a couple of trees inside a tree line. I know this video was about observing but it inspired me into writing this so there you go
Same tactics here in the Canadian military - we would move as a fireteam or section to the tune in our head "up, he see's me, down". One guy or every other guy moves while the other covers, simple but effective way of closing the distance and winning a firefight (in theory). I've just recently discovered this game but it's quickly become one of my favourites for rewarding good tactics.
also real life, not so easy to get shot. These games is far to easy to die, they need to somehow fix this issue in milsims. Arma probably comes close...
It's still hard avoid the follow up bullet, but as a sniper I can tell you it's the best thing you can do while scrambling to hard cover. Easiest to hit someone who lays down, keeps running straight, etc. At least zig zag makes me work for it!
It really depends on your team and the commander, if they aren’t dropping supplies and getting garrisons built and working with the team then it will be frustrating, also experience goes a long way
The difference between standing right behind a window and standing back a few paces from a window when sniping is a world of difference. Here's the theory. Standing against the window can do one of three things. One, your rifle can poke out of the window. Two, light can shine on your player, making it more apparent to the enemy that you're there. Three, when firing, your muzzle flash is more noticeable outside a window than inside. Standing back just a bit grants some bonuses. Not only does it counteract all three of these things, it can also make it mildly more difficult for the enemy to hit you. For some reason, just that little teensy bit of distance can dramatically change the odds of you getting hit when receiving fire.
The further you stand from the window (or any gap in cover really) which you're shooting through, the smaller the area someone outside can shoot directly at you from. You can be shot from anywhere you can see through your cover (and a little more around the edges of what you can see too, really). The further back you stand the narrower your field of view the less likely there will be an enemy in that field. This does mean you have to keep moving in an arc pivoting on your window to maximise your field of awareness though. The other issue is when less considerate players then go use your window and block your shooting and give away the position. I'll admit to a small measure of vindictive pleasure when you get to see them drop because they weren't taking enough care. Sometimes, particularly when your position was already known, this can have the benefit of the enemy thinking they've taken care of that pesky sharpshooter, an assumption you can then correct with a well placed shot.
Basic geometry, gives your enemies a smaller window (haha) to be able to hit you since you’re more protected, as you’re standing farther into a room than outside of it
This boils down to angles. Waaay too often, especially in CQB, I see people try and sneak close to the corner, when it's best to take longer turns. It's kinda like how gears work.
To my fellow console players, I highly recommend sitting closer to the TV. It really helps notice those pixels. Also shifting in and out of aim can help too.
I really wanted to buy a big 60" tv for my birthday and this cocky nerdy kid was saying I'm an idiot and to buy a 4k asus 41 inch monitor for my xbox which was on sale for $500 and it's been amazing
Well, when I went from a 24'' 16:9 1920x1080@60hz 79dpi to a 34'' 21:9 3440x1440@144hz 109 dpi screen, mainly for simracing and combat flight sims, and I noticed a massive difference in Arma3. I could comfortably engage enemies with iron or holosights for whom I needed a small telescopic sight like an ACOG earlier. Spotting in some combat flight sims went from "I'm blind" to "I SEE YOU!" (Cue Sauron eye😉). IL-2 GB still is a problem due to it's lack of contrast, but In Cliffs of Dover and DCS it gas been a game changer. And in some games like War Thunder (I did a short test when I first got the Monitor, I haven't played it in over a year and good riddance) spotting became ridiculously easy after the monitor change. For spotting a monitor with a good contrast rating is more than just helpful. And the wider 21:9 format also reduces FOV compressoon. And it means you'll have to scan more with your eyes instead of your hand/mouse, keeping the imsge more steady. So the ideal Monitor has a hz rating above 100, high static contrast of 3000:1 or 4000:1, gsync compatible or freesync, a 1440p resolution and an aspect ratio of wider than 16:9. You could go 4k, but the performsnce penalty and price penslty for it are still to high.
Another tip. Always start your scan looking in the opposite direction of what you read. Aka if you read left to right you should start looking for targets to the right and then move left. Your brain is used to looking left to right. So if you look in the opposite direction it forces your brain to focus more which helps you spot things easier
As a new player I played in your server last night and the people were nothing but helpful. Taught me a lot and was fragging out in no time. The one thing i will say about this game is that its much better when you have a vocal active squad. Good squad mates make this game feel totally different
Another tip. Join a squad that communicate and move with each other. If you have a active machine gunner in your group the officer and use the binoculars and give you insight on where to shoot at where you can lay down suppressive fire on top of actually hitting them as well. Support so when you need the supplies to lay down a Garry for the team. The officer is the head and without taking command of your group it’s going to be hard
I cannot emphasize enough that when playing officer , having a “role play” attitude and being nice to your squad will nurture a very cohesive unit. For example the other day two squad mates were getting at each other and i chimed in “CALM DOWN SOLDIERS OR ELSE NONE OF YOU GET THE METH CHOCOLATE “ they all laughed and stopped fighting .
Dude I can never find this type of squad. Maybe it’s the time I go on but either all the squads are full some are locked and have a couple spots left or have people that are silent….
Also from a real military perspective, didn't even learn about it in MCT but from my Sgt who was in the first invasion of Iraq. When you are scanning. Go the opposite direction of how you read, left to right = scanning right to left, and vice versa. It's unnatural for you to be looking that way, forcing you to slow down, and decreasing your chance of overlooking a potential threat. Which is the whole point of scanning, remain calm and stay slow, and don't always shoot at the first thing you see. It might be best to simply let the first group continue on, there might be more of them in your 'dead space.'
I love suppression it absolutely changes how fps games work and honestly it was a huge factor that made me fall in love as it doesnt matter if you are shroud if you are being shot at you are gonna have a hard time pinpointing the target and dealing with the screen effects
No its actually a bad mechanic because not the guy with the better skills wins. In 90% of the time with supression the guy who shoot first will win. No matter if he is good or not.
thing that helped me the most in all these games that you touched on is map awareness, you go from being the headless running simulator to actually playing once you can notice your friendlies are facing a field southwest when the objective is south, so the enemy is most likely massed west and east is a good entry
Hopefully the tips in my video help with that! It just takes time honestly. You are going to get destroyed for many games before you start getting to the point where you are destroying others.
I liked that you touched on looking for common player behavior. In hunting the tip I always got from my dad was always look where the deer should be first. They MIGHT be on some random peak or in the middle of a road, but they’re probably moving along cover and taking the easy terrain
Exactly. 7/10 times if you simply ask yourself "where would someone most likely be coming from if they were on the opposite team, you'll find them exactly there. I'll take those odds!
Something that's underappreciated in these games is that, often beyond skill issues discussed in the video, simply knowing the map comfortably, ideal spots for hiding and placing things, terrain height, and the distance between places, helps enormously. You gain a lot of automatic situational awareness from simply playing the map a few times (one reason why the defenders in historical WWII battles often had the advantage) moreso than looking at the "abstraction" of the terrain on a map. A lot of times when I play a hardcore shooter for the first time and bring up my map, I just can't make good sense of what I'm looking at and it leads me to be more aimless and risky in my approaches.
Footsteps are also another thing to listen for. Hard to do it in the middle of a battle, but I have gotten the drop on a few players around a corner just because I heard them coming.
100% - I use discord with friends and I play pretty passive, preferring the bolt-action rifles to any semi-auto or auto weapons (I end up playing a lot of engineer, support, etc. And I enjoyed playing recon much more after I got the rifle unlocked on the Spotter), so I make lots of small movements and do a lot of listening. I cannot tell you how many times I've said, "Braxton, shh! Hold up................. *BANG* alright, guy came in the house. Got em tho - what were you saying about north east?" aaand continue taking heads. Listening takes such an important role in alpha striking and survival. It blows my mind (or I guess keeps it from getting blown ;D )
It just takes time! After 350 hours in this game, I honestly feel that I understand where they players are coming from and can see them MUCH better. Also, a 4k monitor helps a bit...
@@the.true.Aif youre in the us, samsung sells a basic 4k monitor for 230 bucks at best buy. Has no hardware hdr but decent color accuracy. Hopefully this helps.
I don’t play this game, but i want to thank you for being reasonable in the sense of waiting to ask viewers to sub until they’ve seen some content. Too many people start with that request/demand before you even see what they’re about. Keep up the good work.
Yes it does get easier. I went from barely gettin a kill to killing 35 with my longest headshot being 179m. I was basically trying to help slow people down while we capped. We started off good but got pushed all the way back to default garrys. We ended up coming back and winning!
@@Alleykatsksuse an RPG at a spawn point and you can get an easy 3-400 meter headshot. Pretty sure with RPGs you don't even have to hit their head cause it happens so often, no way it's actually hitting the head directly.
whY did my comment get removed immediately? All I said was you can get an easy 3-400 meter headshot by shooting an RPG at a spawn/point where enemy is dug in. Rockets are like magnets to heads somehow@@Alleykatsks
I don't even play this game, but the way you've edited and presented the information in this video is very easy to digest/apply. Bet a lotta people are going to be references your videos if they want to improve mechanically!
Believe me, this game is so hard to present. I am watching a lot of content about this game ( and playing ) and it is hard to explain the game. But ma man, SoulSniper, is really great.
I am very used to Halo so one thing I do a lot is move back and forth in one spot. This often helps in Halo because it can be harder to hit, but in HLL it probably just helps the enemy spot me easier.
I recently bought my best friend this game he is new to PC gaming, he used to only play Halo Infinite with his friend. I went out on a limb and got this game for him, I didn't think he'd like it because of the complex mechanic and how different it is from other shooters. I also thought because it can be a dying and PTSD simulator, that the learning curve would throw him. Now it's his favorite game. :3
The key to doing well on this game is wait until others come until your sight before you go into theirs, what I mean by this is move into position when attacking then wait for the near by enemies that saw you to come look for you, another good one to get into position is throw smoke the opposite way to where you run far away from where you run as they will be focusing on the smoke.
Dude your tip for moving small distances and scanning helped me re-frame and get tons more kills and stay alive longer. Started playing like I'm in a hunting game stalking prey
Yes, that's the key! Now eventually you'll have the movement and ballistics down, and map knowledge will come in time and you'll be able to play more aggressively and come out on top. But still, positioning and constantly scanning and reverse engineering the enemy's likely sightlines to you is key. Don't run along the top of a hill; instead, move down the side of the hill a ways and move along the side of the hill, for example.
This is why I play support, medic and engineer. The focus usually isn’t killing people. I also like tank crew because, well, your in a tank so you can see the enemy clearly without fear of instantly dying most of the time. The devs have put really good accessibility options into the game and I’m really grateful for that but for a legally blind person like me I don’t think there’s much they could do to help me see the enemy better without compromising the realness of the game. I find myself pretty much pressing my face against my tv to see enemies sometimes but I still have tons of fun with the game and it’s one of my most played.
Played for about 4-5 hours last time for my very first time. I was lucky to have a best friend who has been playing for the last year and was able to put me in a private squad with him and really show me the ropes...it took me about 3 matches before I recorded my first kill. Last match of the night, I had 5 and 13 hits and eliminated 1 sherman with AT. SO MUCH FUN. Hang in there guys, I am and it's already paying off. This game is a lot of fun. I only truly saw 2 guys that I shot, the other 3 were just tree lines marked by squad leader to fire on because he saw the enemy and marked the area.
Great video, i think part of this is also how to interpret the map and the markers that are there, generalising areas of attack / defence, where fellow soldiers are being downed ect
just started playing today, first server i found was yours. Totally confused with hud so after a TK i dropped out and started watching videos. Then i ran across this totally by accident. Looking forward to seeing you on the server. Oh and thanks for the video.
Biggest advantage is knowing where they are coming from. After that, be more cautious and look for any movement. Proned players will always be difficult no matter what
Strength in numbers and the chat after that LOL LOL 8:22 Thanks Soul for your time you put into this. great work Thank you sir! for everything! Don't forget to praise Trap32.
Something a lot of people don't understand: You have to defocus your eyes. If you're scanning for movement by looking at this hill, then this hill, then that building, you're going to be way too slow. Let your vision blur slightly, don't look at anything in particular, just let your eyes do the work. You can see motion easily when defocused. Works IRL too, but hopefully none of you have to learn that.
4:20 : your argument about flow of battle is useful if you play by yourself. But, in squad formations, you go and do what your squadleader tells you. Even if it doesn't go with the "flow".
It depends. If you feel your SL is making bad calls or not understanding how the battle is unfolding, I think you should speak up respectfully and give suggestions with your reasons for them. The whole squad should be thinking and strategizing based on the latest information. It doesn't have to be just the SL barking orders and robotic squad members blindly following them.
If you’re in a tank, move with your infantry. Don’t be scared they’ll get out your way and protect your ass end from getting blown thru by a sneaky bastard with a satchel plus that’s what’s the tank role is. Infantry support.
Important to slow down. Even as a veteran player I have to remind myself of this occasionally. As SS stated this is not a run and gun game(sometimes you do need to just push). Slow down and scan. Even just stop and look around it’s easier to spot people if your screen isn’t bouncing. Keep at it and have a good time.
Essentially, learning to spot the enemy just comes down to one thing: using your brain. The common sense and typical behaviors of players points made in this video excellently summarize how to spot the enemy. Ultimately, all players have patterns and the more you recognize how they’re going to respond the more effective you will be in combating said players by not only knowing what they’re going to do, but also changing up your own patterns so they can’t do the same to you.
3:14 I don't know how I ended up watching this video and I don't even play this game, but the title intrigued me and I thought "hey, maybe this could be a good lesson for some friends who have a *difficult time* spotting enemies". I just can't help but imagine a lot of players just don't really see where they're going, almost as if it was autopilot to Shift+W forward until an enemy shoots you, hearing the enemy run towards you or you catch them because they're more oblivious. In Hunt Showdown, knowing where the enemy is before they ever realize they're being watched is one of the most satisfying things you can achieve. It's not called Hunt for a reason. Being ready for the adrenaline when starting the fight is better than having the enemy bring that to you instead. This video almost speaks universally for any game that handles more than 3 players at the minimum in a PvP situation. Don't react to the enemy when they run up to you- KNOW, that you are about to run into the enemy and drop him before he drops you.
One issue I noticed with slower paced tactical shooters like squad is that alot of teammates are holding W and looking at their phones until something happens, or simply not being that engaged until something happens. Being alert and search for enemies and loving every moment of it has led to me being the first person to spot enemies and save the squad numerous times.
Another great tip: Don't expose yourself by been right next to a window when looking out. Shoot from inside the room instead of sticking your gun out the window.
When I started I couldn’t find a single enemy player until they had already blasted me…now I’ve gained some experience and I feel like I can’t not see them…
Communication is definitely key in this game as well moving with your squad and being able to talk to them or other squads around you is super important.
I have just started playing this game and once I got over the extremely steep learning curve and forget pretty much everything I’ve been doing in other shooter games I have found an absolutely fantastic game
I have no idea. When I saw it was coming to new gen consoles I bought a series S and preordered it. I just couldn’t wait to get a game like this on console
Great video. I play quite of bit of Hell let Loose. One thing that always frustrates me is those who join with no idea how to play. This should be a video everyone watches before they play, will help cut out the learning curve.
Love your guides dude! Soo helpfull for soo many people who doesn’t know how to play the game! I’ve spent like 60 hours now and I still haven’t mastered everything. You earned a new sub brother! 😎👍
The biggest problem with this type of game. Is always the players. I rare run into someone with a mic, and people never work as a team, always doing their own solo thing.
I highly recommend finding a community with a server and a discord that you can join. You'll get to know the server regulars and make friends and know whose squads to join for awesome comms and guaranteed fun. Going it alone with strangers isn't enjoying this game to its full potential. Trust me! You can start with mine: www.discord.gg/soulsniper
I legit thought this wasn't for a game when I clicked. Now I'm gonna go looking for a video on how to spot the difference between game and irl advice videos.
Thanks for the guides, I've watched a bunch trying to understand game modes & resources etc. I only started yesterday on console & ye, my biggest issue was map knowledge & not knowing where enemies are/are moving to, so I was getting pinged from all sides! I can already see why it's addicting though. There's a steep learning curve but it seems really satisfying when things work out.
When you get to a point where it all clicks and you start to correctly anticipate the enemies tactics, and start getting the hang of the ballistics and where to position yourself, it's so awesome. You become the one pinging heads, destroying garrisons, blowing up tanks, etc. Just keep playing and keep learning! discord.gg/soulsniper
After just 3 hours play time i can already tell that atleast quite a few people be using cheats. Cant blame them if those cost as much as a r6 cheat lol
Ill never forget, moonlit battlefield shrouded in thick waves of fog, on the horizon I found a dark spot, silhouette moving across a ridge before dropping them as they started to move towards me down the ridgeline
Hell Let Loose is the biggest POS game I ever played because there's a water filter effect over my screen and I cannot see an enemy more than 10 ft from me. I couldn't tell the difference between a Tiger tank and a shed despite the two being in a wide open field.
I've found that aggression in the right time is key for being able to get the drop on the enemy. It's fine to hold angles in a spot far away, but when you're very close to the enemy, it's important to move around and never be in the same spot. Also listening for sounds is very important, it saves my life and helps me spot where enemies are just from the sound of gunfire.
Thanks a lot. Im not playing hell let loose but i can take this advice with myself to many video games. I started playing PUBG and i have a huge problem with movement, enemy spotting, and so much more. This will help a lot. Thanks again. 👍
Another little tip, when in ads if you aim your iron sights just slightly below where you want to look you have a much better view of the area you are aiming at which makes it easier to spot enemy movement in the distance
thankyou so much for all your videos myself and my friend have just downloaded this game looking for a more realistic shooter. weve both watch your videos and has made the game so much more fun from the get go.
A lot of this really comes with experience and practice, been playing for 2 years and I still have issues finding the enemy. But as long as you have a team with at least half a brain, they’ll be able to tell you the general direction of where enemies are pushing, that’s the perfect excuse to try to practice locating enemies from large distances
Games where being able to see out further being a huge factor may be a case for using 4K resolution, since it's more pixels you get to see for things further out.
I downloaded it yesterday, played my second match and I carried the whole team. I flanked the enemies from behind very slowly and killed 5 people with my p40. A great first experience. It was just 9 vs 10 players.
Using IRL infantry tactics I've learned from the marine corps has made the experience smooth. It's just hard teaching people patrol formations and how to bound to cover when all they want is a kill.
HLL’s need to ‘know where the enemy is’ translates really well into other games, even like CoD, because you’ll see the enemy and now you have time to get ready and set up your little kill box
Heya, I'm a first timer to the channel. I don't play the game but I've been curious and this is the first vid I watched. I'd like to mention specifically about the M1's 'ping'. A nifty thing you can do is purposely eject it to lure the enemy into your firing line or distract them. Troops would take the spent clip and throw it onto the ground to fool the enemy. The Germans got too comfy with the idea of a soldier emptying their clip so it was taken advantage of.
This might work in the game, but it's a fallacy in as far as this being a real tactic in combat. No ones gonna hear it. Even if they could, no one's going to suddenly charge a position because they heard one Garand go 'ping'. I know your post is old and it's not aimed at you personally, but this is a much used and tired bit of fiction.
Because of this game I studied real ww2 squad formation and I can say that the core of the unit was the officer spotting and the machine gun emplacing ( together with 1-2 guys supplying the machine gun ) and the rest of the squad was supposed to spread out and look for enemy fire ( to snipe ) while machinegun starts barking.

SLLS: Stop, Look, Listen, Smell. Real Military guidelines.
I've separated a lot of souls from bodies doing this.
As an ex nco And a inafantry Squad leader: movement reveals you, especially movement from side to side. If you need to move, Move fast And observe The surroundings all The Time.

I tend to zigzag when I run because that's how you do in other games. It really doesn't work for this game but lol

This was way helpfull then the video imo the video is more general gameplay i was only interested in the pixel hunt.
It's still hard avoid the follow up bullet, but as a sniper I can tell you it's the best thing you can do while scrambling to hard cover. Easiest to hit someone who lays down, keeps running straight, etc. At least zig zag makes me work for it!
Spawn. Move 10m, die. Spawn 10 miles away from the action. Run 10 minutes to rejoin the fight. Die. Repeat.
It really depends on your team and the commander, if they aren’t dropping supplies and getting garrisons built and working with the team then it will be frustrating, also experience goes a long way
Also flares. It's always demoralizing to face a team using flares while the allied commander doesn't even know what they are @@itzmrsa2237
You forgot the rando you offed near the front line, but beyond his own to the point he's literally fish in a barrel.
Game is fun and realistic... You just got bad strategy
Should take you no more than 3-4 mins to get into the action or even less if that’s the case you’re doing something wrong
The difference between standing right behind a window and standing back a few paces from a window when sniping is a world of difference. Here's the theory.
Standing against the window can do one of three things. One, your rifle can poke out of the window. Two, light can shine on your player, making it more apparent to the enemy that you're there. Three, when firing, your muzzle flash is more noticeable outside a window than inside.
Standing back just a bit grants some bonuses. Not only does it counteract all three of these things, it can also make it mildly more difficult for the enemy to hit you. For some reason, just that little teensy bit of distance can dramatically change the odds of you getting hit when receiving fire.
Excellent tips and I agree
this applies to sniping in most games tbf, still a good tip
The further you stand from the window (or any gap in cover really) which you're shooting through, the smaller the area someone outside can shoot directly at you from.
You can be shot from anywhere you can see through your cover (and a little more around the edges of what you can see too, really). The further back you stand the narrower your field of view the less likely there will be an enemy in that field.
This does mean you have to keep moving in an arc pivoting on your window to maximise your field of awareness though.
The other issue is when less considerate players then go use your window and block your shooting and give away the position. I'll admit to a small measure of vindictive pleasure when you get to see them drop because they weren't taking enough care. Sometimes, particularly when your position was already known, this can have the benefit of the enemy thinking they've taken care of that pesky sharpshooter, an assumption you can then correct with a well placed shot.
Basic geometry, gives your enemies a smaller window (haha) to be able to hit you since you’re more protected, as you’re standing farther into a room than outside of it
This boils down to angles. Waaay too often, especially in CQB, I see people try and sneak close to the corner, when it's best to take longer turns. It's kinda like how gears work.
To my fellow console players, I highly recommend sitting closer to the TV. It really helps notice those pixels.
Also shifting in and out of aim can help too.
I really wanted to buy a big 60" tv for my birthday and this cocky nerdy kid was saying I'm an idiot and to buy a 4k asus 41 inch monitor for my xbox which was on sale for $500 and it's been amazing
Literally glue your face to the TV screen.
laughs in pc
Well, when I went from a 24'' 16:9 1920x1080@60hz 79dpi to a 34'' 21:9 3440x1440@144hz 109 dpi screen, mainly for simracing and combat flight sims, and I noticed a massive difference in Arma3.
I could comfortably engage enemies with iron or holosights for whom I needed a small telescopic sight like an ACOG earlier.
Spotting in some combat flight sims went from "I'm blind" to "I SEE YOU!" (Cue Sauron eye😉).
IL-2 GB still is a problem due to it's lack of contrast, but In Cliffs of Dover and DCS it gas been a game changer.
And in some games like War Thunder (I did a short test when I first got the Monitor, I haven't played it in over a year and good riddance) spotting became ridiculously easy after the monitor change.
For spotting a monitor with a good contrast rating is more than just helpful.
And the wider 21:9 format also reduces FOV compressoon. And it means you'll have to scan more with your eyes instead of your hand/mouse, keeping the imsge more steady.
So the ideal Monitor has a hz rating above 100, high static contrast of 3000:1 or 4000:1, gsync compatible or freesync, a 1440p resolution and an aspect ratio of wider than 16:9.
You could go 4k, but the performsnce penalty and price penslty for it are still to high.
It feels wierd but yeah with these kinda of games you have to be pretty close to TV if you actually want to see anything
Another tip. Always start your scan looking in the opposite direction of what you read. Aka if you read left to right you should start looking for targets to the right and then move left. Your brain is used to looking left to right. So if you look in the opposite direction it forces your brain to focus more which helps you spot things easier
Huh, that's an interesting concept. I might have to give that a try!
Something that was fortunately ingrained in me by my father, makes looking for shit a little easier. Don't tell them our secrets
That’s an actual military strategy😉
Horse shit
As a new player I played in your server last night and the people were nothing but helpful. Taught me a lot and was fragging out in no time. The one thing i will say about this game is that its much better when you have a vocal active squad. Good squad mates make this game feel totally different
Love to hear it man! It's a great community and our server is super chill!
Communication is everything
Another tip. Join a squad that communicate and move with each other. If you have a active machine gunner in your group the officer and use the binoculars and give you insight on where to shoot at where you can lay down suppressive fire on top of actually hitting them as well. Support so when you need the supplies to lay down a Garry for the team. The officer is the head and without taking command of your group it’s going to be hard
As an MG lover, it's fun when someone spots for you like that!
Sounds like you had a very fun game today
This game needs a mount/ brace system like rising storm.
I cannot emphasize enough that when playing officer , having a “role play” attitude and being nice to your squad will nurture a very cohesive unit.
For example the other day two squad mates were getting at each other and i chimed in “CALM DOWN SOLDIERS OR ELSE NONE OF YOU GET THE METH CHOCOLATE “ they all laughed and stopped fighting .
Dude I can never find this type of squad. Maybe it’s the time I go on but either all the squads are full some are locked and have a couple spots left or have people that are silent….
Also from a real military perspective, didn't even learn about it in MCT but from my Sgt who was in the first invasion of Iraq. When you are scanning. Go the opposite direction of how you read, left to right = scanning right to left, and vice versa. It's unnatural for you to be looking that way, forcing you to slow down, and decreasing your chance of overlooking a potential threat. Which is the whole point of scanning, remain calm and stay slow, and don't always shoot at the first thing you see. It might be best to simply let the first group continue on, there might be more of them in your 'dead space.'
That's fascinating, thanks for sharing that
me who writes in both directions : guess i will die
Huh guess ill try this opposite scanning trick
@@calamitistsucks for you buddy 😂 maybe try the one you use the least
Thanks for sharing this you had a good mentor.
I love suppression it absolutely changes how fps games work and honestly it was a huge factor that made me fall in love as it doesnt matter if you are shroud if you are being shot at you are gonna have a hard time pinpointing the target and dealing with the screen effects
we had it back in battlefield 4. idk why other games never took it and made it better til now
No its actually a bad mechanic because not the guy with the better skills wins.
In 90% of the time with supression the guy who shoot first will win.
No matter if he is good or not.
@@alfi341like in real life?
@@alfi341 yea, in real life the person who shoots first in a close quarter gunfight is likely to be the one walking away
Like in real life war?@@alfi341
thing that helped me the most in all these games that you touched on is map awareness, you go from being the headless running simulator to actually playing once you can notice your friendlies are facing a field southwest when the objective is south, so the enemy is most likely massed west and east is a good entry
100 percent
I got this game around Christmas and this video helped also these comments thanks
I just discovered this game, what an experience so far it’s been.
What’s driving me nuts is everyone can see me but I can’t see them!
Hopefully the tips in my video help with that! It just takes time honestly. You are going to get destroyed for many games before you start getting to the point where you are destroying others.
Crouch is your friend
@@CadillacJakFunny just how massive of a difference being crouch or prone makes
Turn foliage setting down
This thumbnail is spot tf on.
Lol yea I remember that feeling.
I liked that you touched on looking for common player behavior. In hunting the tip I always got from my dad was always look where the deer should be first. They MIGHT be on some random peak or in the middle of a road, but they’re probably moving along cover and taking the easy terrain
Exactly. 7/10 times if you simply ask yourself "where would someone most likely be coming from if they were on the opposite team, you'll find them exactly there. I'll take those odds!
"Do you know what an artist and a sniper have in common? Details."
-Glaz, 2015
Something that's underappreciated in these games is that, often beyond skill issues discussed in the video, simply knowing the map comfortably, ideal spots for hiding and placing things, terrain height, and the distance between places, helps enormously. You gain a lot of automatic situational awareness from simply playing the map a few times (one reason why the defenders in historical WWII battles often had the advantage) moreso than looking at the "abstraction" of the terrain on a map. A lot of times when I play a hardcore shooter for the first time and bring up my map, I just can't make good sense of what I'm looking at and it leads me to be more aimless and risky in my approaches.
Play the game as you would in real life and you will absolutely dominate especially if you have actual training it’s truly amazing I love this game
Footsteps are also another thing to listen for. Hard to do it in the middle of a battle, but I have gotten the drop on a few players around a corner just because I heard them coming.
100% - I use discord with friends and I play pretty passive, preferring the bolt-action rifles to any semi-auto or auto weapons (I end up playing a lot of engineer, support, etc. And I enjoyed playing recon much more after I got the rifle unlocked on the Spotter), so I make lots of small movements and do a lot of listening. I cannot tell you how many times I've said, "Braxton, shh! Hold up................. *BANG* alright, guy came in the house. Got em tho - what were you saying about north east?" aaand continue taking heads. Listening takes such an important role in alpha striking and survival. It blows my mind (or I guess keeps it from getting blown ;D )
@@seanpierce3022 So in other words you rat around baiting for kills
Verdun made me a master of spotting pixels at distance.
For some reason enemies are harder to spot in HLL then in Verdun
It just takes time! After 350 hours in this game, I honestly feel that I understand where they players are coming from and can see them MUCH better. Also, a 4k monitor helps a bit...
this type of game really benefits from higher definition monitors, sadly I can't really afford them atm
@@the.true.Aif youre in the us, samsung sells a basic 4k monitor for 230 bucks at best buy. Has no hardware hdr but decent color accuracy. Hopefully this helps.
Likely my next upgrade. 1080p works but...
@@eetoonamamanakooo Sadly I'm not in the US lol, but thanks for the tip
Though a 4k monitor rapes your graphics card and frame rate. A sword with 2 edges.
I don’t play this game, but i want to thank you for being reasonable in the sense of waiting to ask viewers to sub until they’ve seen some content. Too many people start with that request/demand before you even see what they’re about. Keep up the good work.
It feels more genuine. I can't ask you to buy the new truck you haven't test drove yet!
This is seriously one of the hardest shooter game I've every played. It's so satisfying to get a kill but so damn difficult.
It gets easier. Just keep playing!
Noob
Yes it does get easier. I went from barely gettin a kill to killing 35 with my longest headshot being 179m. I was basically trying to help slow people down while we capped. We started off good but got pushed all the way back to default garrys. We ended up coming back and winning!
@@Alleykatsksuse an RPG at a spawn point and you can get an easy 3-400 meter headshot. Pretty sure with RPGs you don't even have to hit their head cause it happens so often, no way it's actually hitting the head directly.
whY did my comment get removed immediately? All I said was you can get an easy 3-400 meter headshot by shooting an RPG at a spawn/point where enemy is dug in. Rockets are like magnets to heads somehow@@Alleykatsks
I don't even play this game, but the way you've edited and presented the information in this video is very easy to digest/apply. Bet a lotta people are going to be references your videos if they want to improve mechanically!
I'm using this information for PUBG!
Believe me, this game is so hard to present. I am watching a lot of content about this game ( and playing ) and it is hard to explain the game. But ma man, SoulSniper, is really great.
That's kind of you to say man, thank you. I do my best!
My favorite parts of the game is when someone runs in front of my mg42 when I'm firing or stands next to a tank when I'm trying to blow it up
I am very used to Halo so one thing I do a lot is move back and forth in one spot. This often helps in Halo because it can be harder to hit, but in HLL it probably just helps the enemy spot me easier.
I recently bought my best friend this game he is new to PC gaming, he used to only play Halo Infinite with his friend. I went out on a limb and got this game for him, I didn't think he'd like it because of the complex mechanic and how different it is from other shooters. I also thought because it can be a dying and PTSD simulator, that the learning curve would throw him. Now it's his favorite game. :3
The key to doing well on this game is wait until others come until your sight before you go into theirs, what I mean by this is move into position when attacking then wait for the near by enemies that saw you to come look for you, another good one to get into position is throw smoke the opposite way to where you run far away from where you run as they will be focusing on the smoke.
Dude your tip for moving small distances and scanning helped me re-frame and get tons more kills and stay alive longer. Started playing like I'm in a hunting game stalking prey
Yes, that's the key! Now eventually you'll have the movement and ballistics down, and map knowledge will come in time and you'll be able to play more aggressively and come out on top. But still, positioning and constantly scanning and reverse engineering the enemy's likely sightlines to you is key. Don't run along the top of a hill; instead, move down the side of the hill a ways and move along the side of the hill, for example.
This is why I play support, medic and engineer. The focus usually isn’t killing people. I also like tank crew because, well, your in a tank so you can see the enemy clearly without fear of instantly dying most of the time.
The devs have put really good accessibility options into the game and I’m really grateful for that but for a legally blind person like me I don’t think there’s much they could do to help me see the enemy better without compromising the realness of the game. I find myself pretty much pressing my face against my tv to see enemies sometimes but I still have tons of fun with the game and it’s one of my most played.
Played for about 4-5 hours last time for my very first time. I was lucky to have a best friend who has been playing for the last year and was able to put me in a private squad with him and really show me the ropes...it took me about 3 matches before I recorded my first kill. Last match of the night, I had 5 and 13 hits and eliminated 1 sherman with AT. SO MUCH FUN. Hang in there guys, I am and it's already paying off. This game is a lot of fun. I only truly saw 2 guys that I shot, the other 3 were just tree lines marked by squad leader to fire on because he saw the enemy and marked the area.
Way to stick with it! The game is incredible once you get the hang of it!
Great video, i think part of this is also how to interpret the map and the markers that are there, generalising areas of attack / defence, where fellow soldiers are being downed ect
I agree. I have it on my video idea list to do a vid all about reading the drawing inferences from the map.
Yes. I'm always checking my map, looking for blue friendlies going dark blue, to know where enemies are. Especialy on servers with low coms
just started playing today, first server i found was yours. Totally confused with hud so after a TK i dropped out and started watching videos. Then i ran across this totally by accident. Looking forward to seeing you on the server. Oh and thanks for the video.
Watch my guides to get a good grasp of the basics and just let people know you're new to the game when you join. They'll coach you up.
Biggest advantage is knowing where they are coming from. After that, be more cautious and look for any movement. Proned players will always be difficult no matter what
Strength in numbers and the chat after that LOL LOL 8:22 Thanks Soul for your time you put into this. great work Thank you sir! for everything! Don't forget to praise Trap32.
Always pray to the big man. Bless.
Something a lot of people don't understand:
You have to defocus your eyes. If you're scanning for movement by looking at this hill, then this hill, then that building, you're going to be way too slow. Let your vision blur slightly, don't look at anything in particular, just let your eyes do the work. You can see motion easily when defocused.
Works IRL too, but hopefully none of you have to learn that.
4:20 : your argument about flow of battle is useful if you play by yourself. But, in squad formations, you go and do what your squadleader tells you. Even if it doesn't go with the "flow".
It depends. If you feel your SL is making bad calls or not understanding how the battle is unfolding, I think you should speak up respectfully and give suggestions with your reasons for them. The whole squad should be thinking and strategizing based on the latest information. It doesn't have to be just the SL barking orders and robotic squad members blindly following them.
@@SoulSniperYT Sur, but I'm against a solo soldier going where he wants because of is "flow".
I wish i watched this video when I first started playing. Very clear and well spoken video. Great job
Thank you man!
Long time player here, feel so good to see 86k views on a HLL video. It is one of the best WWII games ever made
If you’re in a tank, move with your infantry. Don’t be scared they’ll get out your way and protect your ass end from getting blown thru by a sneaky bastard with a satchel plus that’s what’s the tank role is. Infantry support.
this helps me a lot. For me, being a visualy impared ndividual, it's kinda hard to spot an enemy until their right on top of me. Thank u Soul
Important to slow down. Even as a veteran player I have to remind myself of this occasionally. As SS stated this is not a run and gun game(sometimes you do need to just push). Slow down and scan. Even just stop and look around it’s easier to spot people if your screen isn’t bouncing. Keep at it and have a good time.
Good for every single game with any realistic mechanic
(edit) Also it's a LOT of information and content in a few minutes, good job
I have around 35 hours on HLL and these guides are still helpful
Always something to learn! I've got 2000+ hours and still learn shit all the time!
@@SoulSniperYT same!
Dude I'm 300 hours in an I'm still learning from these videos
You've barely scratched the surface hahaha..
no way you think 35 hours means anything. this is why people are garbage at games now.
U Know what would be super Cool, a birds eye view of the battle unfolding + commentary from you!
Essentially, learning to spot the enemy just comes down to one thing: using your brain. The common sense and typical behaviors of players points made in this video excellently summarize how to spot the enemy. Ultimately, all players have patterns and the more you recognize how they’re going to respond the more effective you will be in combating said players by not only knowing what they’re going to do, but also changing up your own patterns so they can’t do the same to you.
Great point about changing up your own patterns and being unpredictable.
3:14
I don't know how I ended up watching this video and I don't even play this game, but the title intrigued me and I thought "hey, maybe this could be a good lesson for some friends who have a *difficult time* spotting enemies". I just can't help but imagine a lot of players just don't really see where they're going, almost as if it was autopilot to Shift+W forward until an enemy shoots you, hearing the enemy run towards you or you catch them because they're more oblivious.
In Hunt Showdown, knowing where the enemy is before they ever realize they're being watched is one of the most satisfying things you can achieve. It's not called Hunt for a reason. Being ready for the adrenaline when starting the fight is better than having the enemy bring that to you instead. This video almost speaks universally for any game that handles more than 3 players at the minimum in a PvP situation. Don't react to the enemy when they run up to you- KNOW, that you are about to run into the enemy and drop him before he drops you.
I'm already amazing at this game. I just watch your videos to make sure the blueberries are learning /s
Thanks for providing such oversight.
Lmfao
Nope
Haha this guy
@@SoulSniperYT refer to him as sergeant… pheasant….
Thank you for all of your videos. I'm very new to the game and your videos have helped me out so much! Keep up the good work!
One issue I noticed with slower paced tactical shooters like squad is that alot of teammates are holding W and looking at their phones until something happens, or simply not being that engaged until something happens. Being alert and search for enemies and loving every moment of it has led to me being the first person to spot enemies and save the squad numerous times.
Another fantastic video! I watch and listen to this playlist and roles playlist over and over. Never hurts to brush up.
Another great tip: Don't expose yourself by been right next to a window when looking out. Shoot from inside the room instead of sticking your gun out the window.
Good tip
Great video! Has all of the key information for new players. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you!
When I started I couldn’t find a single enemy player until they had already blasted me…now I’ve gained some experience and I feel like I can’t not see them…
Communication is definitely key in this game as well moving with your squad and being able to talk to them or other squads around you is super important.
Good job on the red boxes on the hard cover points/ horizons. Just because you miss don’t move to get closer just focus and get better at making shots
Hopefully it helps people understand the tyles of areas to watch for.
I have just started playing this game and once I got over the extremely steep learning curve and forget pretty much everything I’ve been doing in other shooter games I have found an absolutely fantastic game
Pixels are no joke 😮 you can train to react on these things, that your body perceives instantly, but is invisible to our minds
I love the feeling when you’re like 50% sure that a pixel is an enemy and then you hear that satisfying helmet ding when you fire.
1:25 COMMENT SECTION GET DOWN!!! WE’RE TAKING FIRE!!!
Ts cant be fr🙏
This game is so fun when you use you actual combat skills you learn in basic training
does this game go on sale often? Really liking how it looks from your videos.
Yeah, when I got the game it was $20USD or 50% off. Just wait until the next Steam sale and you’ll get it dirt cheap.
On sale on xbox
I'm not too sure how often it's on sale but they frequently do free weekends. Maybe once a month or so
I have no idea. When I saw it was coming to new gen consoles I bought a series S and preordered it. I just couldn’t wait to get a game like this on console
Free this month on xbox
Great video.
I play quite of bit of Hell let Loose.
One thing that always frustrates me is those who join with no idea how to play.
This should be a video everyone watches before they play, will help cut out the learning curve.
if you're tired of that you should just play a competitive server
Yea that's why I make these videos to hopefully educate newcomers (and even experienced players) without being boring.
STEP 1, PUT YOUR FACE ON THE SCREEN
This was super insightful. Appreciate it more than you can imagine.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Try spotting the uninstall button and save yourself the aggravation
You're missing out dude.
@@SoulSniperYTi always look at games like this and Squad as roleplay. Play like it’s actually your ass on the line!
The description of the game mechanics gives me flashbacks of Rising Storm 2 Vietnam
If you not fogging your screen up while aiming your doing it wrong 😉
Love your guides dude! Soo helpfull for soo many people who doesn’t know how to play the game! I’ve spent like 60 hours now and I still haven’t mastered everything. You earned a new sub brother! 😎👍
Thank you for watching and the kind words man! New tutorial coming soon!
The biggest problem with this type of game. Is always the players. I rare run into someone with a mic, and people never work as a team, always doing their own solo thing.
I highly recommend finding a community with a server and a discord that you can join. You'll get to know the server regulars and make friends and know whose squads to join for awesome comms and guaranteed fun. Going it alone with strangers isn't enjoying this game to its full potential. Trust me! You can start with mine: www.discord.gg/soulsniper
This video is a necessity for all our new gamepass privates
Im new like 2 days in new. I cant find or kill anything lol. Lots of deaths tho
Wellcome, I'm too! 😀
I legit thought this wasn't for a game when I clicked. Now I'm gonna go looking for a video on how to spot the difference between game and irl advice videos.
The game looks pretty photorealistic at times!
8:13 Actshually that's a clip not a magazine 🤓
Thanks for the guides, I've watched a bunch trying to understand game modes & resources etc. I only started yesterday on console & ye, my biggest issue was map knowledge & not knowing where enemies are/are moving to, so I was getting pinged from all sides! I can already see why it's addicting though. There's a steep learning curve but it seems really satisfying when things work out.
When you get to a point where it all clicks and you start to correctly anticipate the enemies tactics, and start getting the hang of the ballistics and where to position yourself, it's so awesome. You become the one pinging heads, destroying garrisons, blowing up tanks, etc. Just keep playing and keep learning! discord.gg/soulsniper
@@SoulSniperYT Will do 👍
After just 3 hours play time i can already tell that atleast quite a few people be using cheats. Cant blame them if those cost as much as a r6 cheat lol
Ill never forget, moonlit battlefield shrouded in thick waves of fog, on the horizon I found a dark spot, silhouette moving across a ridge before dropping them as they started to move towards me down the ridgeline
Hell Let Loose is the biggest POS game I ever played because there's a water filter effect over my screen and I cannot see an enemy more than 10 ft from me. I couldn't tell the difference between a Tiger tank and a shed despite the two being in a wide open field.
I've found that aggression in the right time is key for being able to get the drop on the enemy. It's fine to hold angles in a spot far away, but when you're very close to the enemy, it's important to move around and never be in the same spot. Also listening for sounds is very important, it saves my life and helps me spot where enemies are just from the sound of gunfire.
I find the thumbnail to be 99% of most engagements in these more realistic shooters.
i'm glad you put the bar saying where you were looking cause I just found out I was looking too high
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot. Im not playing hell let loose but i can take this advice with myself to many video games. I started playing PUBG and i have a huge problem with movement, enemy spotting, and so much more. This will help a lot. Thanks again. 👍
Glad I could help!
My first kill was a head shot on a bouncing enemy and I would have had no idea if I didn't get a first kill achievement
Another little tip, when in ads if you aim your iron sights just slightly below where you want to look you have a much better view of the area you are aiming at which makes it easier to spot enemy movement in the distance
Good tip, I do this as well
thankyou so much for all your videos myself and my friend have just downloaded this game looking for a more realistic shooter. weve both watch your videos and has made the game so much more fun from the get go.
Nice, glad to hear it!
A lot of this really comes with experience and practice, been playing for 2 years and I still have issues finding the enemy. But as long as you have a team with at least half a brain, they’ll be able to tell you the general direction of where enemies are pushing, that’s the perfect excuse to try to practice locating enemies from large distances
"Wherever your team isn't, is probably where the enemy team is." - Sun Tzu
Games where being able to see out further being a huge factor may be a case for using 4K resolution, since it's more pixels you get to see for things further out.
It is also good to watch for muzzle flashes
This is the best part of HLL. No run n gun!!
I downloaded it yesterday, played my second match and I carried the whole team. I flanked the enemies from behind very slowly and killed 5 people with my p40. A great first experience. It was just 9 vs 10 players.
I play on your server all the time! Great video!
Thanks,
FSU
Awesome, thanks for playing and watching!
It was a rough adjustment from BTF V to this Hell let loose is on a whole other level 😂
Using IRL infantry tactics I've learned from the marine corps has made the experience smooth. It's just hard teaching people patrol formations and how to bound to cover when all they want is a kill.
This is the struggle of modern-day combat. Like most of the time you're fighting people that are miles away doing indirect fire back and forth.
your videos are extremely high quality and should be mandatory viewing for all HLL players
Well thank you, that's a nice compliment! More guides coming..
I just kind of stare into one spot on the screen, and use my peripherals for picking up movement.
HLL’s need to ‘know where the enemy is’ translates really well into other games, even like CoD, because you’ll see the enemy and now you have time to get ready and set up your little kill box
Heya, I'm a first timer to the channel. I don't play the game but I've been curious and this is the first vid I watched. I'd like to mention specifically about the M1's 'ping'. A nifty thing you can do is purposely eject it to lure the enemy into your firing line or distract them. Troops would take the spent clip and throw it onto the ground to fool the enemy. The Germans got too comfy with the idea of a soldier emptying their clip so it was taken advantage of.
This might work in the game, but it's a fallacy in as far as this being a real tactic in combat.
No ones gonna hear it. Even if they could, no one's going to suddenly charge a position because they heard one Garand go 'ping'.
I know your post is old and it's not aimed at you personally, but this is a much used and tired bit of fiction.
First Vid for me, but defenetly not the last. Keep it up man:)
Welcome and thank you! Lots of good stuff on the channel and more on the way. Enjoy!
