I LOVE playing medic in this game. Good players will say that the class is useless but the amount of "Thanks doc" when I revive someone and the amount of people happy to see me come to help them makes my heart melt
Indeed, a good medic can go a far way. Especially when that medic is close to their squad leader. Hate to put it this way, but it is essentially an extra life, and when its for a squad leader, that means getting another OP sooner.
Idk if any good player will call the medic class useless.. The amount of time a squad takes running back to the objective is quite a bit, and if you can simply revive them or the SL and keep shit goin, you very much can change the tide of battle. I doubt any GOOD player will say that
I love the 10 second death timer, to get to the 1 min spawn timer, to get to the 15 second wave timer, then you die to artillery within 0.5 seconds for another almost 2min wait.
Haha, yep! Don't forget to add time if you accidentally kill some of your teammates and get punished. If I die after working artillery, sometimes it can take a couple minutes to spawn
@@collectibletaco7797 That is true, recently I sat down and figured out what my sensitivity should be (about half of what it was! xD) and you know I can actually hit shit with the Kar98k! that 8mm mauser sit down you can give people is probably the most satisfying thing other than putting your you-know-what in someone's you-know-where.
Just ask for help on what to do! There are plenty of "veterans" who would love to help you. I did not know how to play and now always play officer because veterans have told me how to play a little and i love sending in my team in a proper small assault to relief the entire team from an enemy push. It feels like a little medal of honor front line mission every time. Once pushed up with a light tank, duck behind it and it just felt like i was playing a singleplayer game and it was awesome. The tank was ripping through enemies and making progress while we protected it from getting shot down.
im so glad you realised you were an officer lol When the game goes on sale, so many newbs play as officer and stay silent whilst the whole squad screams at them to put down an outpost and give orders. Im glad you're self aware.
Haha, I don't expect new players to do everything. But they have got to throw down outposts, otherwise it can take a long time to spawn or to run to the front lines
@@premiumrekapp When i played officer first time when i was completely new i had so many nice players helping me out and helping me give orders. My entire team and even some of the other squads commended me for helping them win the game. I love the community.

@@owlish_hotel eh potato potâto, I rather have both the chilling wind and a potential .50 BMG hit my face at the same time than being a sentient pizza inside a tank

@ConManliness When Post Scriptum is much more historically accurate, not Arcady like HLL, & actually requires teamwork & heavy planning. The game has gotten much better and is becoming popular again, possibly rivaling HLL in the near future.
Habie, if you dig the high risk high reward gameplay, I recommend Hunt Showdown. It's like a Cthulian Wild West Bounty Focused PVPVE. I like to play with a sword and a bleeding sniper.
Got that game. Played for a bit alone so wasn’t having a amazing time but just when I was going to get my first win a guy headshots my with the duel wield chain revolvers from like 50 m. Havnt touched it since
You’d be surprised at how often the “lay completely still tactic” works in this game. The amount of times I have been surprised/have surprised others by laying still is pretty significant actually. On another note, glad to see more people checking this game out! It’s a steep learning curve, but man is it so addictingly fun
I've done the same in squad, humvee mowed down my entire squad but I just stayed still, lucky I was the medic so I got the squad back up after the humvee left
I love how the guns feel in this game. It's so satisfying, you think it'd feel unfair for the enemies not being clear but nah it just makes it more satisfying when they plop over. plus the headshot helmet sound is like the only kill feedback you get and when you do its amazing

Hell let loose is one of those games I know I'm gonna love but have yet to pick up. Looking at it, it reminds me a lot of Red Orchestra 2 which I absolutely loved. Might actually have to pull the trigger and buy it after having watched this
Definitely recommend it. And to start out please play as a rifleman or maybe a medic. Get to grips with the guns, maps and how to play in general and then move on to other classes. Because those other classes, while maybe having just a different gun like a bar, can have a huge impact on what your squad is assigned to do. Defend a position? Pick an mg maybe and try to hold 1 spot. Flank an enemy position? maybe an Assault class would me more suitable as it will be close combat and have smokes together with your squad leader + medic to push positions. Dont forget to try and place garrisons. This will help you and your entire team from those "30 minute walks".
I love this game so much. As someone who grew up playing the old MoH’s and Cod WaW, I’ve always wanted a somewhat realistic WW2 shooter. This game scratched that itch soo good.
I remember in one of my first games, me and my squad managed to totally outflank the enemy and get just behind their spawn and we laid down hell, then after we captured the point the only thing they had left was a tank with busted tracks and we tore into it like a pack of wolves going after a moose. I've never done that good again.
Playing this game with a squad that simultaneous works together and horses around is probably the best gaming experience you could ever have. I got put into a squad like that, and it was the most fun I think I've ever had playing a game.
It's only two times like I felt like I've been helpful in that game. One is when I was running the artillery and shelling the crap out of the enemy, even though I couldn't see what I was hitting, the second was when my squad was the only 1 to hold one of our points until we got reinforcements.
Hell Let Loose is probably one of the best WW2 games of all time in my opinion. The nothing happening followed by a few moments of chaos before either winning or losing in a split second decision is amazing. There’s also a lot of funny and really badass moments that feel like they’re out of a movie. Pushing to take a point with your entire team and taking cover from constant MG fire behind a tank as you slowly move forward is one of the most realistic experiences I’ll ever have in video games and I love it. Great game, glad you’re playing it Habie, highly recommend to anyone watching!
i feel like i am contributing a lot when i play commander lol. also, one time, i was a medic in this squad, and we helped our team chain the last objective since the entire soviet army was like somewhere else
My best advice for looking to see enemies is, and i know this sounds weird, or unhelpful/obvious, but look for things that you don't think should be there, or very very small movements, look for small differences in the environment and such, once you figure that little thing out you'll be good
This video is a masterpiece. It has an in depth story and a great character arc. This video shows how one video out on the internet can change how we grasp our life. It goes through different stages of control, sanity, regret and last of all, beauty. I hope you too like me watching this video had your life changed forever. Thank you for reading this.
I’ve contributed to my team once and that was when I was a spotter in a tank crew where the driver yelled orders at me for an hour and a half, it was great
OK listen hear me out... When I play I somehow become a Battlefield protagonist - I don't mean that as in I'm a god gamer but as in my play style just mashes perfectly with the game so Ill go off on a journey and manage to take out squads with my gorilla tactics, Or I get shot by artillery and my legs get blown off Edit: Playing hunt showdown also helps
I’ve been watching your vids completely for the past year every time you upload and it’s just a break from my day. I watch every video just once every week yet I remember watching every single one of them. thanks for these chill vids
Denying the enemy access to artillery is probably my favorite thing to do. Me and a buddy will grab a recon section and infiltrate the enemy spawn and constantly kill the artillery crews as they spawn. I usually finish a match with around a hundred kills, all of which are like the same three guys. Kinda feel bad for them but it keeps the arty off my teams back.
I’m about to purchase this game knowing I’m going to die so often. I admire your honesty on the game and your game chat is so funny. I hope to fight at your side one day soon
There are a lot of things I like about the game, but the amount of time out of action and the length of matches is just too much. So I play infrequently. It would be nice if they had a mode similar to the Red Orchestra 2, more medium than huge.
This game has been my favorite game for about a year and a half. Nothing feels better than a well coordinated game of HLL. Talk to your squad, ask questions, and know that garrisons and OPs are the most important part of the game!
i bought the game and my first match was literally just me running for 5 mins,dying to a sniper i couldnt see,respawning,and doing it all over again. 10/10 i highly recommend this game is fucking sick
This video has me sold! A group of my friends are getting into this game for the first time, I have no doubt now that getting this game myself will be worth it.
Hell Let Loose is more Arcade Realism. If you want a full on WW2 MilSim, I suggest Post Scriptum. Way more intense and immersive in my opinion. More factions and maps as well. And there's mods.
god i love hell let loose so much its just walking and maybe getting a kill. honestly one of the most satisfying things is either shooting a guy at long range and hearing the ping of his helmet or sneaking all the way to the enemy base to kill their arty guys and helping your team win
I can already tell you this game isn't perfect because the dev team don't know how to optimize their game, and they seem to think a leisurely jog is a sprint...
ive started playing this game 1 week ago and cpuldnt stop since. its my daily activity and i love every second of it. great game. and since i love being a squad leader and people dont it works well in my favor
“Hell Let Loose is a perfect game” Unless of course you’re effected by the issues with the VOIP service that make it impossible to hear or speak, and which the devs have neglected to fix because that’d require they pay for a voice chat that isn’t garbage, and that might cost them a tiny bit more. Seriously, fuck this game. Devs are too greedy to fix game breaking issues that have been around since launch
The game definitely changed a lot, at very early it was a big mess that I couldn't even play and became an amazing game, just wish the VOIP had the same quality as Post Scriptum, some people have low mic volume and maxing out doesn't get that loud and most get very distorted sadly.
Ive been playing HLL a ton over the past few months. People seem turned off by the need for teamwork and communication. If you work together with your team, it’s an awesome experience and one I have yet to find in other shooters. Glad to see you giving it some attention!
You need to try Post Scriptum, HHL is based off the game pretty much inspired by it & the need for Communication and team work I would argue is much much higher. I would even say it is more realistic than Hell Let Loose. Define toy recommend it
My all time favourite moment in this game was crawling in a ditch for like 10 min with my squad only to have an enemy machine gun tear everyone but me to shreds. Literally lay there amongst the bodies of my squad mates kind of befuddled...until an enemy grenade blows me up. Epic.
Was crawling along the ground alongside my buddy, getting lit up by a tank when a grenade lands an inch in front of my face, my friend goes “I hope that’s a smoke” then the gentle pop and smoke starts billowing and we just stared at each other
This is the slippery slope for Habie to come join us in ARMA units. Playing ZEUS missions is a lot like this but with a player-ran story behind whatever mission you're on.
I was just thinking how much you'd like hell let loose considering how you liked the ww2 pavlov mod, and now you upload a HLL video. Praise Azura. The stars have aligned to bring me this blessing.
As a squad leader you should also be in contact with the commander. You need to ensure you have a reliable support player with you whose job is to provide supplies so that you can build garrisons and also the various types of nodes that provide numerous benefits to your team. Outposts are for your squad, garrisons are for the entire team and all squads should be building them. The commander can drop supplies too, but if the enemy team see the drop they will probably attempt to get to them and destroy them before you get to utilize them. I used to play with friends as a squad and usually as support. As supplies are absolutely vital in order to effectively mount and maintain sustained attacks/defences, a support player might frequently be asked to "suicide" enabling them to respawn with new supplies, to be placed on the orders of squad leader/commander to facilitate their overall strategy and the building of nodes and garrisons. Garrisons are the lifeblood of any team and are invariably the difference between victory and defeat. Unless players are prepared to play less glamorous and exciting roles and understand that games like HLL are not just about kills but about effectively playing a specialized role within a cohesive unit and making a contribution that delivers an overall win. This may well entail defending a captured point while other squads are tasked with assaulting the next one for example. That could mean doing a lot of waiting around with not much going on but if that's the job you've been given it's what you do until you are requested/ordered to move elsewhere. Far too often you see the entire team charging off towards where they think the enemy will be invariably to be either a) mowed down or b) outflanked/outsmarted and losing the ground they only just gained. Disaster is then compounded by the fact that they have built no fallback or backup garrisons, or indeed any garrisons at all, and the entire team has to spawn all the way back in their base. This inevitably always ends the same way - that is, with a monumental ass kicking ;) If you play with a well organized team of effective squads, all coordinated by an effective commander and all communicating well, the experience is completely transformed and very much for the better.
I played a game of Squad that went for about 8 hours. The teams were too even and I recall the server taking a 15 minute intermission for food and bathroom breaks. The casual mil-sim community is a wild but amazing one.
The enjoyment of a match is usually determined by having a half competent commander. I've tried being commander and your entire match is watching a map calling in stuff and fighting squad leads to do stuff.
A very rewarding role is Sniper with a good spotter. Very hard/impossible to get when a match starts but when you do... man the liberty and damage you inflict on the enemy is awesome
HLL is my absolute favourite game right now. You can have some of the most frustrating moments and some of the most epic multilayer moments you'll ever experience. Get a whole squad of smoothies together and then you'll start feeling like you're doing something. Come play on the Aussie servers some time.
Pretty much everything you said is true, especially when you are in your first 25-50 hours of this game. However once you start to learn the maps better, dynamics of leadership, and common team tactics for each map, the game opens up greatly. Depending on how you play, you could have games with very minimal running without combat, getting lots of kills and helping your team tremendously. One thing I’ve learned after about 500 hours is that a lot of people either don’t know what needs to get done at a certain point in the match, or assume someone else will do it for them. The more you play the more enjoyment you get out of it through having more experience. This is what makes the game so great in my opinion. Most games I stop caring about after a little while but HLL is the gift the never stops giving.
ya know habie, you always say thanks to the 3 people who sit through the end of your videos, past the atomic mirror brains, always to skip past it. but i just find myself sitting here enjoy it. hell i cant even afford to be a velvet brain or anythign, but ill still sit here waiting till the end. the videos just make me smile. so thanks. keep on keepin on
The reason why those servers have 80~ people and won't let you in is because they are reserving slots for VIP members (most likely) or possibly clan members, to ensure they have a better chance to be able to play
It's very casual and competitive, every kill is rewarding. When i first started playing i was mic shy but later on i started getting really good at the Officer and Commander role.
Very basically, the biggest way to have an impact in this is to place Garrisons when you're in the officer position. In friendly territory you can do this with a support player in your squad, putting garrisons in enemy territory costs twice the supplies so it requires a little more coordination, enemy territory garrisons need to be heavily isolated as well because one enemy within 100 meters disables them, but the team-wide spawn garrisons provide helps immeasurably to the teams ability to control the map, if you place a garrison, and other squads take advantage of them to control the area around them, that's how you start to play the game with some awareness, as you described. The Garrisons and Outposts also help to keep you aware of where enemies might be, if its red on the map it means there's enemies within at least 75 meters.
Hell Let Lose is such a fun game. My favorite role is playing recon and going behind enemy lines to set up amushes on tanks and rely info to my squad lead and then he relys that to command. On urban maps like Stalingrad I normally drop 40/50 kills as recon. Fun times
You should try Post Scriptum! It's quite similair but even more realistic/immersive with almost no hud. I don't know what the key diffirences are cuz i only have PS, but it's really fun, so if you like Hell Let Loose and think: "Man, i wish i had even less of a clue of what i'm doing or where i'm going." then you should definetly try Post Scriptum! I'm told PS has better sound design and HLL has better grraphics, again though i can't really compare myself. Some moments in PS are still amazingly cool though. Just imagine walking through a dark forest, on your way to meet up with your squad who are holding a defensive position in a nearby village, only to hear the roaring engine of a vehicle. They taught you the diffirence in shooty-school but you honestly can't tell if it's an infantry truck or a Panther. You instinctively fall down on the ground, trying to identify the sound. You hear explosions in the distance, and are reminded of your buddies fighting to the bitter end in the village, only half a mile away. You check your map and see there's an allied transport vehicle driving near your position. You look up, only to see a truck full of allied soldiers, waving at you. You realise you weren't in danger the entire time, and promise yourself to be more aware of your allied troops and surroundings next time, only to make the same mistake again next game. Anyway, If Rising Storm Vietnam is the most arcade-y and HLL is one step less so, then i'd say PS is the most realistic one of the three. Lots of fun, would recommend!
Dude I've been playing the hell out of Hell Let Loose for the past 2 weeks. God it is so much fun, and I'm so glad I got back into it after a year off of it
i love these types of games. they are just so difficult though. i played Rising Storm 2 Vietnam and loved it but without a good squad or commander, u just get destroyed. these games have steep learning curves
Yeah I contributed. I ended up having to be the commander in a lot of games. If you can coordinate you can absolutely dominate an engagement. But it inevitably goes FUBAR against a good enemy team, devolving into true chaos and explosions zip away and disjointed commands are shouted amongst the carnage. I stopped playing so I could save the rest of the experience for the full release. Also, the artillery is funny sometimes, and useful always.
I had a friend over once, he played HLL for 3 straight hours, in those said 3 hours I think he got one person and kept dying and he still said that it was stupidly fun.
I usually can get the 30 mark or 40 mark for kills as long as you’re running an extremely aggressive load out and are actually, trying yknow. But also that was in a match where our own commander dropped bombs right on our position then dipped the game on last OBJ, then we had to come back and push back, now that was a memorable match
Patience and perception equals perfection. You'll go >20:0 if you slooooowww down. Slow down. Focus. Do not be distracted. Or just be fodder for my killfeed lmao
I've found in this game a majority of my deaths in hell let loose are because i stood still for too long, move fast and more importantly move smart and you might just live.
I LOVE playing medic in this game. Good players will say that the class is useless but the amount of "Thanks doc" when I revive someone and the amount of people happy to see me come to help them makes my heart melt

Definitely recommend it. And to start out please play as a rifleman or maybe a medic. Get to grips with the guns, maps and how to play in general and then move on to other classes. Because those other classes, while maybe having just a different gun like a bar, can have a huge impact on what your squad is assigned to do. Defend a position? Pick an mg maybe and try to hold 1 spot. Flank an enemy position? maybe an Assault class would me more suitable as it will be close combat and have smokes together with your squad leader + medic to push positions.

I've never done that good again.
Playing this game with a squad that simultaneous works together and horses around is probably the best gaming experience you could ever have.
I got put into a squad like that, and it was the most fun I think I've ever had playing a game.
It's only two times like I felt like I've been helpful in that game. One is when I was running the artillery and shelling the crap out of the enemy, even though I couldn't see what I was hitting, the second was when my squad was the only 1 to hold one of our points until we got reinforcements.
Hell Let Loose is probably one of the best WW2 games of all time in my opinion. The nothing happening followed by a few moments of chaos before either winning or losing in a split second decision is amazing. There’s also a lot of funny and really badass moments that feel like they’re out of a movie. Pushing to take a point with your entire team and taking cover from constant MG fire behind a tank as you slowly move forward is one of the most realistic experiences I’ll ever have in video games and I love it. Great game, glad you’re playing it Habie, highly recommend to anyone watching!
Great game and as always a heartwarming video :) I strongly suggest to try out "Squad" as well, same concepts but in a modern warfare!
This is definitely the most Habie147 video ever.
Habie, I miss the tag about loving yourself! If you're taking votes, I vote to keep it.
i feel like i am contributing a lot when i play commander lol. also, one time, i was a medic in this squad, and we helped our team chain the last objective since the entire soviet army was like somewhere else
I've been waiting for this to come out I love hell let loose and I've been hoping for you to do a vid on it. Thanks for the content much love
I’ve had it since launch and so happy how much it’s spread and improved! The sense of “oh I’m going to die” when you go round a corner is epic
My best advice for looking to see enemies is, and i know this sounds weird, or unhelpful/obvious, but look for things that you don't think should be there, or very very small movements, look for small differences in the environment and such, once you figure that little thing out you'll be good
"Having trouble seeing the enemy? Look harder."
@@BigDaddyWes i mean, it's good advice
just "look differently"
Habie the music in ur vid today was an absolute slap also the vid its self is an absolute slap :))
This video is a masterpiece. It has an in depth story and a great character arc. This video shows how one video out on the internet can change how we grasp our life. It goes through different stages of control, sanity, regret and last of all, beauty. I hope you too like me watching this video had your life changed forever. Thank you for reading this.
He does videos like these aboue once a week, your life is about to be changed very frequently
This video changed my life. And then your comment changed it again.
@@walkerx1813 He just posts this generic comment on lots of videos
Need to play across the wire, because Poisonous gas, Nonstop artillery, and, a gaggle of smooth brains is amazing.
Don't you mean Beyond the Wire?
Agreed, already have sunk almost 300 into the game. Still going hard. Been playing for about a year now, glad to see you make a video about it
Never have I blown more air out of my nose
I’ve contributed to my team once and that was when I was a spotter in a tank crew where the driver yelled orders at me for an hour and a half, it was great
OK listen hear me out... When I play I somehow become a Battlefield protagonist - I don't mean that as in I'm a god gamer but as in my play style just mashes perfectly with the game so Ill go off on a journey and manage to take out squads with my gorilla tactics, Or I get shot by artillery and my legs get blown off
Edit: Playing hunt showdown also helps
I’ve been watching your vids completely for the past year every time you upload and it’s just a break from my day. I watch every video just once every week yet I remember watching every single one of them. thanks for these chill vids
Habie is my comfort youtube channel
Denying the enemy access to artillery is probably my favorite thing to do. Me and a buddy will grab a recon section and infiltrate the enemy spawn and constantly kill the artillery crews as they spawn. I usually finish a match with around a hundred kills, all of which are like the same three guys. Kinda feel bad for them but it keeps the arty off my teams back.
Looser much?
Finally, a video where he doesn't do those stupid intermissions. Bless
What if I told you that you are the perfect game 😳
I’m about to purchase this game knowing I’m going to die so often. I admire your honesty on the game and your game chat is so funny. I hope to fight at your side one day soon
There are a lot of things I like about the game, but the amount of time out of action and the length of matches is just too much. So I play infrequently. It would be nice if they had a mode similar to the Red Orchestra 2, more medium than huge.
If maps were 2x smaller the game would be perfect.
This game has been my favorite game for about a year and a half. Nothing feels better than a well coordinated game of HLL. Talk to your squad, ask questions, and know that garrisons and OPs are the most important part of the game!
i bought the game and my first match was literally just me running for 5 mins,dying to a sniper i couldnt see,respawning,and doing it all over again.
10/10 i highly recommend this game is fucking sick
This video has me sold! A group of my friends are getting into this game for the first time, I have no doubt now that getting this game myself will be worth it.
Hell Let Loose is more Arcade Realism. If you want a full on WW2 MilSim, I suggest Post Scriptum. Way more intense and immersive in my opinion. More factions and maps as well. And there's mods.
god i love hell let loose so much its just walking and maybe getting a kill. honestly one of the most satisfying things is either shooting a guy at long range and hearing the ping of his helmet or sneaking all the way to the enemy base to kill their arty guys and helping your team win
I can already tell you this game isn't perfect because the dev team don't know how to optimize their game, and they seem to think a leisurely jog is a sprint...
Agreed
ive started playing this game 1 week ago and cpuldnt stop since. its my daily activity and i love every second of it. great game. and since i love being a squad leader and people dont it works well in my favor
“Hell Let Loose is a perfect game”
Unless of course you’re effected by the issues with the VOIP service that make it impossible to hear or speak, and which the devs have neglected to fix because that’d require they pay for a voice chat that isn’t garbage, and that might cost them a tiny bit more.
Seriously, fuck this game. Devs are too greedy to fix game breaking issues that have been around since launch
Voip has always worked super well for me. Sorry for the misfortune dude
The game definitely changed a lot, at very early it was a big mess that I couldn't even play and became an amazing game, just wish the VOIP had the same quality as Post Scriptum, some people have low mic volume and maxing out doesn't get that loud and most get very distorted sadly.
Ive been playing HLL a ton over the past few months. People seem turned off by the need for teamwork and communication. If you work together with your team, it’s an awesome experience and one I have yet to find in other shooters. Glad to see you giving it some attention!
You need to try Post Scriptum, HHL is based off the game pretty much inspired by it & the need for Communication and team work I would argue is much much higher. I would even say it is more realistic than Hell Let Loose. Define toy recommend it
7:00 Alpha Sniper must be really greatfull for this when he finds that video.
Just found it haha 😂
My all time favourite moment in this game was crawling in a ditch for like 10 min with my squad only to have an enemy machine gun tear everyone but me to shreds. Literally lay there amongst the bodies of my squad mates kind of befuddled...until an enemy grenade blows me up. Epic.
Was crawling along the ground alongside my buddy, getting lit up by a tank when a grenade lands an inch in front of my face, my friend goes “I hope that’s a smoke” then the gentle pop and smoke starts billowing and we just stared at each other
The firefights in the forest are the hardest for me. It's like there aren't enemy soldiers, the trees are just wielding the MG42s
Bro when the trees start speaking mg42 you know you are fucked
This is the slippery slope for Habie to come join us in ARMA units. Playing ZEUS missions is a lot like this but with a player-ran story behind whatever mission you're on.
I was just thinking how much you'd like hell let loose considering how you liked the ww2 pavlov mod, and now you upload a HLL video. Praise Azura. The stars have aligned to bring me this blessing.
As a squad leader you should also be in contact with the commander. You need to ensure you have a reliable support player with you whose job is to provide supplies so that you can build garrisons and also the various types of nodes that provide numerous benefits to your team. Outposts are for your squad, garrisons are for the entire team and all squads should be building them. The commander can drop supplies too, but if the enemy team see the drop they will probably attempt to get to them and destroy them before you get to utilize them.
I used to play with friends as a squad and usually as support. As supplies are absolutely vital in order to effectively mount and maintain sustained attacks/defences, a support player might frequently be asked to "suicide" enabling them to respawn with new supplies, to be placed on the orders of squad leader/commander to facilitate their overall strategy and the building of nodes and garrisons. Garrisons are the lifeblood of any team and are invariably the difference between victory and defeat. Unless players are prepared to play less glamorous and exciting roles and understand that games like HLL are not just about kills but about effectively playing a specialized role within a cohesive unit and making a contribution that delivers an overall win.
This may well entail defending a captured point while other squads are tasked with assaulting the next one for example. That could mean doing a lot of waiting around with not much going on but if that's the job you've been given it's what you do until you are requested/ordered to move elsewhere. Far too often you see the entire team charging off towards where they think the enemy will be invariably to be either a) mowed down or b) outflanked/outsmarted and losing the ground they only just gained. Disaster is then compounded by the fact that they have built no fallback or backup garrisons, or indeed any garrisons at all, and the entire team has to spawn all the way back in their base. This inevitably always ends the same way - that is, with a monumental ass kicking ;)
If you play with a well organized team of effective squads, all coordinated by an effective commander and all communicating well, the experience is completely transformed and very much for the better.
I played a game of Squad that went for about 8 hours. The teams were too even and I recall the server taking a 15 minute intermission for food and bathroom breaks. The casual mil-sim community is a wild but amazing one.
The enjoyment of a match is usually determined by having a half competent commander. I've tried being commander and your entire match is watching a map calling in stuff and fighting squad leads to do stuff.
A very rewarding role is Sniper with a good spotter. Very hard/impossible to get when a match starts but when you do... man the liberty and damage you inflict on the enemy is awesome
I don’t even have time to watch the video yet but the thumbnail already made me laugh
I would rate this game a PTSD/10
HLL is my absolute favourite game right now. You can have some of the most frustrating moments and some of the most epic multilayer moments you'll ever experience. Get a whole squad of smoothies together and then you'll start feeling like you're doing something.
Come play on the Aussie servers some time.
For finding lobby's, I usually sort by ping and spam refresh/scroll like a madman till I find a server with an opening, but sometimes it's impossible.
Pretty much everything you said is true, especially when you are in your first 25-50 hours of this game. However once you start to learn the maps better, dynamics of leadership, and common team tactics for each map, the game opens up greatly. Depending on how you play, you could have games with very minimal running without combat, getting lots of kills and helping your team tremendously.
One thing I’ve learned after about 500 hours is that a lot of people either don’t know what needs to get done at a certain point in the match, or assume someone else will do it for them. The more you play the more enjoyment you get out of it through having more experience. This is what makes the game so great in my opinion. Most games I stop caring about after a little while but HLL is the gift the never stops giving.
ya know habie, you always say thanks to the 3 people who sit through the end of your videos, past the atomic mirror brains, always to skip past it. but i just find myself sitting here enjoy it. hell i cant even afford to be a velvet brain or anythign, but ill still sit here waiting till the end. the videos just make me smile. so thanks. keep on keepin on
The reason why those servers have 80~ people and won't let you in is because they are reserving slots for VIP members (most likely) or possibly clan members, to ensure they have a better chance to be able to play
It's very casual and competitive, every kill is rewarding. When i first started playing i was mic shy but later on i started getting really good at the Officer and Commander role.
god i dont even know how this video was so informative yet hilarious, like the jokes werent even setup jokes it was just fucking knee slapping funny
Very basically, the biggest way to have an impact in this is to place Garrisons when you're in the officer position. In friendly territory you can do this with a support player in your squad, putting garrisons in enemy territory costs twice the supplies so it requires a little more coordination, enemy territory garrisons need to be heavily isolated as well because one enemy within 100 meters disables them, but the team-wide spawn garrisons provide helps immeasurably to the teams ability to control the map, if you place a garrison, and other squads take advantage of them to control the area around them, that's how you start to play the game with some awareness, as you described. The Garrisons and Outposts also help to keep you aware of where enemies might be, if its red on the map it means there's enemies within at least 75 meters.
Corey seems like such an amazing friend, I don’t think you’ll survive playing HLL for that long without him
Hell Let Lose is such a fun game. My favorite role is playing recon and going behind enemy lines to set up amushes on tanks and rely info to my squad lead and then he relys that to command. On urban maps like Stalingrad I normally drop 40/50 kills as recon. Fun times
"the line to wait is full" - the best advertisement for this game ive heard
You should try Post Scriptum! It's quite similair but even more realistic/immersive with almost no hud.
I don't know what the key diffirences are cuz i only have PS, but it's really fun, so if you like Hell Let Loose and think: "Man, i wish i had even less of a clue of what i'm doing or where i'm going."
then you should definetly try Post Scriptum!
I'm told PS has better sound design and HLL has better grraphics, again though i can't really compare myself. Some moments in PS are still amazingly cool though.
Just imagine walking through a dark forest, on your way to meet up with your squad who are holding a defensive position in a nearby village, only to hear the roaring engine of a vehicle. They taught you the diffirence in shooty-school but you honestly can't tell if it's an infantry truck or a Panther. You instinctively fall down on the ground, trying to identify the sound. You hear explosions in the distance, and are reminded of your buddies fighting to the bitter end in the village, only half a mile away. You check your map and see there's an allied transport vehicle driving near your position. You look up, only to see a truck full of allied soldiers, waving at you. You realise you weren't in danger the entire time, and promise yourself to be more aware of your allied troops and surroundings next time, only to make the same mistake again next game.
Anyway, If Rising Storm Vietnam is the most arcade-y and HLL is one step less so, then i'd say PS is the most realistic one of the three. Lots of fun, would recommend!
Habbie- gets exited on 13 kills
Me- casually gets a 40 bomb running mg
Dude I've been playing the hell out of Hell Let Loose for the past 2 weeks. God it is so much fun, and I'm so glad I got back into it after a year off of it
You should really try out “Squad” if you like hell let lose, it’s basically the same style but set in a modern era.
i love these types of games. they are just so difficult though. i played Rising Storm 2 Vietnam and loved it but without a good squad or commander, u just get destroyed. these games have steep learning curves
AUUGH PING YOUR ENEMIES AUGHGJFJGGV
Yeah I contributed. I ended up having to be the commander in a lot of games. If you can coordinate you can absolutely dominate an engagement. But it inevitably goes FUBAR against a good enemy team, devolving into true chaos and explosions zip away and disjointed commands are shouted amongst the carnage. I stopped playing so I could save the rest of the experience for the full release. Also, the artillery is funny sometimes, and useful always.
The key to this game is if you have a good squad leader and understanding squad it becomes way more fun
The lack of ppl bringing up squad is surprising

2) Former theoretical physicist Alby Einstein

4) Socialism

“Oh I killed you”
You basically explained my experience with this game over the last week since I bought it.
The best thing about being in the Army is you’ve always got somewhere to walk to 😂😂😂
I had a friend over once, he played HLL for 3 straight hours, in those said 3 hours I think he got one person and kept dying and he still said that it was stupidly fun.
Yooo this game is 33% off on steam right now as well!!
ngl one of my favourite UA-camrs keep it up (btw love ur merch its comfy)
I usually can get the 30 mark or 40 mark for kills as long as you’re running an extremely aggressive load out and are actually, trying yknow. But also that was in a match where our own commander dropped bombs right on our position then dipped the game on last OBJ, then we had to come back and push back, now that was a memorable match
Patience and perception equals perfection.
You'll go >20:0 if you slooooowww down. Slow down. Focus. Do not be distracted.
Or just be fodder for my killfeed lmao
I've found in this game a majority of my deaths in hell let loose are because i stood still for too long, move fast and more importantly move smart and you might just live.
Dude yer vids are so refreshing, keep it up g
