Thanks for watching guys, let me know what stage you're stuck in, no judgies
Also remember to like the video to help me beat that pesky algorithm
Stage 2. Education. Mostly learning how to shoot German AT gun looking down the giant dinner plate at the end of the barrel.
I'm in stage 2 finding medic to be the most fun I can just run around reviving telling people to get up in crazy off the wall ways in the proxy chat
Speaking truths😂 I started playing this game on console when it dropped on game pass. Every step is accurate to 100%.
Today I some times feel like I'm cheating. I hit players in the head with a rifle at 40% at 350 meter distance, as they run. They don't even see me 80% of the time. I'm a careful and slow bushm.. I know the game is not about kill ratio but mine is 9 to1 most games
the "why is everyone talking polish?" is so true. my second game was in a german server (i dont speak german at all). i heard a squad mate say my name and i just left
Same I snuck into a Russian server and same thing...also as someone with polish family I should know some Polish but....no
@@McBluffinGaming oo yeah i think u told me abt that lol
I knew some German before getting this game, but now after noticing the many German-speaking-only servers, I have decided to more seriously learn it and speak/write it.
Certainly helps when English speaking servers are all full or empty!
@@MightyFineMan oo sweet
I remember being in a Spanish server. I know how to speak some Spanish but comprehending natives when they speak like lightning was still too hard and I as a squad leader had to attempt to use my small Spanish vocabulary to communicate to my squad and command chat.
My trademark stage is "i've spent too much time looking at the respawn screen, i'm going to play tank now"
everytime I play tank I and alot of my own team die
@@McBluffinGaming judging from that frag I don't think there's anything you could possibly be doing differently, it must be the blueberries fault
As a vet during the early stages of the game myself, one of my best experiences was when I joined a random match solo instead of with my usual friends.
I ended up as the leader of a squad with 4 total noobs (they'd been a British group of rl friends and it was their second match ever) and a Russian dude as a medic, who had about as much experience as I did. They immediately asked us whether we could basically teach them how to play the game, so we jokingly told them that we would get them out of there alive and in one piece.
A few minutes later we found ourselves hiding in a trench while awaiting orders from our commander. We were under heavy fire and the other squads on our left flank just got wiped out by enemy tanks and infantry support. That's when our medic said in the heaviest Russian accent imaginable, "Don't poke head out of trench. Poke head out of trench - peng - head gone. No fixing when head gone. Understand?" Before anyone could answer, a dude from another squad stood up and IMMEDIATELY got headshot. Like, it hadn't even been a second of standing upright until he droped dead. The noobs stared at the dead body and our medic just said, "See? No poking!!"
After that those four guys did exactly what we told them to and we basically owned the battlefield. We took out so many tanks, outposts, garrisons, machine gun nests and enemy held positions that at some point whenever another squad reported some trouble in their area our commander explicitly asked us to relocate there in order to fix the issue for them.
Despite our efforts, the match turned into a long ass grind, but after a long while we finally won.
A few days later I stumbled upon a forum post of a dude telling about his experience when a "very angry Austrian" squad leader and a "cynical Russian" medic turned him and his buddies into pro's in just one match. This made me smile, especially because obviously English speakers somehow instantly get the impression that someone is angry when he speaks German occasionally. ;D
Hahaha. Loved reading this, thank you for sharing
Love that story haha so you can actually just join matches with friends? I really want to get my friends on there but without me I think their patience will be none existence how do you do that on the console version? Thanks
Dude that's fantastic. I love a good squad, it can be an awesome experience. I'm at a point where most matches I'm the highest or second highest rank in the squad, so I can teach people stuff and I usually do decently well in combat.
As someone who is new to the game with only like 3 days of play time I would absolutely love it if I got into a squad like this one 😂
People lie about the weirdest shit bruh 😂
I remember the first time I played squad leader. We were being pushed so I grabbed my squads machine gunner. I said to him “im gonna look through the binos and mark spots. I need you to shoot at the markers”. He said bet.
Germans put a gary behind a shed and I lit it up. MG lit up.
End of game I had 3 kills, my mg’er had around 50+.
Felt like I did so much by doing so little
That MG must’ve loved that game 🤣 I was running MG a few nights ago and had teammates spot & ping enemies for me and I’d just dump rounds at it u til they called out the next, it was late game by this point but I was stacking bodies defending the objective that would’ve made or broke the game for us and it was great
"It is the WAY""
“Laugh at anyone who plays the game for fun.” So true. Haha! Good vid!
Cheers dude!
@@McBluffinGaming--- Another lame ass fps- waste of time.
After a shit day at work, those 20 mins of running to the front line make it worth it.
If you got some random in your ear trying out his new stand up material, bonus.
Another lame ass fps- waste of time.
@@mtunit who hurt you?
With almost 400 hours into the game, I am stage 5. Here is what I learned I far:
- I prefer squad leader and commander roles because ->
- I suck at hitting anything with a rifle. I leave that to my team cause I can’t hit anything unless I have something automatic.
- Defense wins games
- Conflict resolution and remaining calm under all circumstances truly helps everything.
- accepting advice from people makes the game better because when someone shares something, it is for your benefit.
Well said
🤔You are at 3rd stage at best...4000hrs here and im reincarnation of WW2 Veteran 😈💀😬
@@woznix you haven’t seen me in game so your statement is invalid.
However I notice there are some people who have logged more hours than me but only play to relax instead of taking it very seriously, and vise versa. That is fine, we need both types of players.
only 400 son?
@@MightyFineMan Everybody should play what fits them the most and brings maximum enjoyment, my point is when you Played different classes you can see how battles are turning out from different perspectives ,especially vital roles like Sl's, support ,recon, engineer and tankers...
For example i always say on Command Voice chat, making garrisons is SL job ,told Your support to drop 50 cause i wont be dropping 150 supplies for every SL bitching about it in blue area where you need only 50, thats cause i Played SL a lot , and also support so i automaticly suggest my SL, that we should build Garrison ,or addicional one or two in Defence...You spend much more time looking On map and binoculars as SL and especially as Commander to remind what is going On The map, direction of enemy attack...cause 1 of 3 Garrisons are Turning red...so You react immiediatly.
You priotize good tank crew with best tanks (because You know from playing tank,they can turn game around)....there is many ways to play that game and its fantastic how You see what is comming way before from that experience, there are so many moving parts and factors in this game !
I only hope Team17 wont fuck this game up !
I remember as new player the cycle:
Spawn .. dead
Spawn .. dead ?
Spawn ... dead WTF ?
Spawn ... killed one!!!!!!!!! ... dead
Pretty much.
My Stage 1 days were blissful ignorance. My very first game was on Foy and I ended up in a squad that was completely silent the whole match. I spawned and ran from one end of the map alllllll the way to the other successfully for about 20 minutes. I didn’t see anyone, didn’t say anything to anyone, and then suddenly I just get shot and die. Never saw him. I sat back and my first reaction was “This is gonna be a fun game.”
Almost two years later and I’m 900 hours in sitting in Stage 4 slowly finding my way into Stage 5. I never touched Stage 3 apparently, but I’ve met way too many people in that Stage. Namely 100+ players, even 200+ who have no tactical sense and are always thinking “me, me, me”. I know every sound, can hit shots pretty consistently at 200 meters, maxed out Support, AT, and Assault in that order, usually come away with at least 1 tank kill a match, and come to the realization that I’m not a very good leader. I operate at my best when I’m directed by someone else and helping someone else with their objectives. I tend to flounder when I’m left to my own devices. Or maybe I just need more practice in leadership roles. I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
I will always remember my first match. I spawned in as support, found my squad lead and said, "hey I'm new to the game what should i do? " He goes "Your Support?! Follow me I need you. "
We then crossed half the map with bullets flying around us and artillery dropping close. We set up a flanking garry and the team went on to win. I killed no one and still felt like i had changed the outcome of the battle on my first game. I was hooked.
I remember on my 2nd or 3rd game I went to be squad leader bc I was tired of waiting for someone to make a squad. As I was learning about outposts and garrisons we had a very good artillery team. As I learned more about squad leaders and commander comms I spot a enemy tank. I asked my squad mates if artillery can kill tanks they said yes and to put a tank marker so artillery can see it. Then my squad told me what to say to artillery, say your squad name, your type of mark, and when to fire. I say to artillery fire on Charlie’s tank mark. They respond wait till the tank stops moving. I said okay, I waited, they stopped and said it again. Fire! One round lands directly on top of the tank killing it with one blow. That was awesome. I saw a few more tanks I waited till they stopped moving and repeated what I did for the first tank. Boom! Boom! 2 tanks dead. Okay now I’m hooked. We pushed the enemy back to the last objective, artillery said that was too far. But 10 minutes later we won the game. That was my hooking moment.
PS5 player. I'm 500+ hours in now, lvl 150+; my Officer and Engineer are maxed, i did the flamethrower grind, I've got all loadouts for AT, & Medic, I did the trophy/achievement grind, and have won several matches as commander, with about as many losses to go with it.
I pretty much went from stage 2 - 5 without being with any of the others, but i definitely have dealt with the others. I feel like I'm playing a gruesome WW2 satire. The game and people are so funny sometimes.
I can say this, engineer is great class for people who live where recreational use of cannabis is legal.
Hahah the last paragraph got me
IL resident, and I just played engineer for a whole match while stoned and it was a lot more fun than I expected, building up defenses in objectives and running into enemy fire to get risky tank repairs off, shit was tits
Was playing a match the other day, and we were on defense and we had like three squads dropping supplies on the point along with command drops. We had at least four engineers myself included. We became busy little bees and fortified the hell out of the point while some idiot was singing about playing fortnite in HLL. It was good laughs all around and we ended up winning with 2 strong points left.
As someone who started playing Squad (similar structure in squad and Stages I’d say) because a friend wanted to play it I have to say how utterly important a Good Squad leader is for new Players. I remember when me and my Friends played Marines against Militia in a desert map and deciding to join a random squad. That Squad leader was very efficient and immediately put us both to our roles and fireteams inside the squad. We were given exact orders, like one time when a enemy from a mountain took us under fire while we were marching to a objective and we all jumped to cover, then the Squad leader yelling at his soldiers on what to do, he assigned me to give covering fire from a heighended position because I had a heavy machine gun.
It’s moments like these were the game is so much fun to me, where the Leader is Leading and giving exact orders to everyone, and it’s not a COD run and gun
Yeah when the SL is on his game it's great.
I’ll give this consideration when I’m a squad leader. I realize the same thing for me when I’m not an SL. I like orders and direct and an objective. And if I give exact orders it’ll help those who are newer.
@@Foxtrot07gamer yeah that’s good. Sadly there are almost always teammates who think it’s cod or something and push alone, but playing squad like it’s intended is more fun and efficient to win
I'm a former RSM in the Royal Artillery and listening to civvies in this game relay orders like they've commanded IRL is one of the most hilarious things.
its the oversharing on command chat that gets me going. Meanwhile 2 sqds are getting wiped from arty fire lol
Ah the old Regimental Scary Monster. Hated you bastards when I was in. Eyes like a shithouse rat, spot an unshaven neck from a different barracks.
Probably have same level of combat experience as you 💀
If you're trying to talk shit to me you're a fool. I did my 5 years, more experience than 90% of the population. Eat shit
@@RMD94exactly what im saying Lmfao. Just cause you sat around in a sandbox and occasionally had a firework go off near you this bro thinks he’s the solider of fortune
Noobing ... I just went CoD ran around shooting anyone who showed up, didn't say a word and didn't go anywhere near a hard cap - I was that guy that irritates me to death now.
We all did it dude. It is a necessary path, one we must all take
My favourite noob is in the squad lead role, has locked the squad so it's only a 1 person squad. Ergo no-one yelling at him & he can do what he likes. Another thing, you'll often find people who've been playing since early release (& occasionally kickstarter) quite happily playing as riflemen, medics etc. It's part of Stage 5, acceptance that you don't have to prove anything to anyone.
Yep. Sometimes I just wanna be a grunt with a rifle and pop heads
At The end of the day...is only You and Your squad ! And thats the most important part !
You can be most combat effective in defence or atrack ,have great squad that communicate, stick together and be the brightest part of Team ,that even after Loosing You feel good and it was GG for You!
I'm definitely that stage 5 medic haha I will do anything to revive my boys and am happy doing just that
The problem is when you're one of few competent SLs on the team and have to build all the Garris all game, you get tired of it and just want to play rifleman. But you know if you get off SL the number of Garris will drop rapidly
Being a good player and teacher can give you some pride too. I remember once I had just gotten commanding down, and I joined a pretty good lobby. Squad leads had pretty good comms, and at the end, when we won, about 10 guys all said I was the best commander they'd had and that it was the best match they'd ever played. Brought a tear to my eye lol
man the stage 3 thing is so prevalent about 3 weeks after a free weekend
Edit: this is so accurate hahaha I stayed in stage 2 playing exclusively rifleman till about rank 60. Then, when i learned about garry optimisation, tactics, squad comp, weapon sounds, throwheads etc etc etc. I went to SL and levelled it to 10 as fast as possible and I feel like I did a good job and I'm confident as an SL based on the comendations and feedback I often get. I skipped the stage 3 fake vet stage because I never pretended I knew what i was doing. Only now, do I realise most 'negative nancies' who hate every update and "Want the old devs back" have literally owned the game for 3 months or less and never even owned the game under the old devs, they just repeat everything they see online and jump on the moan mobile.
I think i am just guna start playing commander and try getting it to lvl 10 because playing SL is fun but I never play it anymore because I want to level everything else haha
Wow, dedication.
On other hand I have never played a rifleman, always playing support, engineer, medic role. My ping is always high and I know my aim is bad so I do what I can do to stay relevant.
As a current lvl 100+ soldier in this game its so funny to watch this video and go back in time for a moment, everything you say is so true and so funny how your bring it
Cheers man, I still remember my noob days very fondly
This game has been my buddies and I “go-to” game since it came to Series X. We are all very solid at every role, but we don’t take it seriously all the time. Its always an awesome time 😎
Perfection....this is hilarious and supremely accurate.
Cheers dude. I like analysing the player base...for better or for worse
I'm stage 5 I guess, I do it for an action packed hang. This game is the ultimate hangin' with the boys in a virtual world when it is at it's best.
I agree. Have a laugh and chill, occasionally go a bit try hard and then mess around again
For sure. Lol
If you want to play tank, 1st thing you do when you join, jump into infantry as support, drop supplies in hq, redeploy as engineer, build fuel node, jump back into tank. Your commander will like you all the more
For all it's problems; there's still a whole lot of fun to be had in this game.
Even though it did take me about 5 hours of playtime to figure out how to place a Garry XD
Yeah man, it's got problems like any other but the fun outweighs that.
Dude it took me way more than 5....trust me
Agreed. HLL is definitely the best FPS I've ever played (in its current state - I loved BFV dearly and have like 1200 hours there but it's not playable anymore due to the hackers). And some of the best games across all the genres I tend to play. The diversity of things to do is just unmatched in the FPS genre and IME the only games that come close are things like MMO RPGs. Also love the DMG model. What I absolutely hated about BFV and like 90 % of other FPS games is how many bullets you have to put into an enemy to actually get a kill. They should buff DMG on long range though - it's infuriating when you manage to land a shot from a non-scoped rifle at like 250 meters and get punished for it by not killing the enemy. It's especially infuriating compared to SMGs, which seem to work pretty well in this regard - maximum efficiency at a couple dozen meters tops, they just trade the IRL severe bullet drop and lack of accuracy on 100 m + for lower damage dealt when you land a hit.
took me 40 hours to realize yo can hold your breath. was just fighting the sway! i was actually getting good at it too.
Asking the other players might help.
@@hctibeyb1788wait what? You can hold your breath? What's the button for it?
its true every player can contribute in a meaningful way.
I remember one match in st mere eglise i believe? it was a slog fest of controlling the center point near the edge of the map and I was running with a squad to defend the recently captured center point but the enemy kept counterattacking. we had very little support on one flank, where me and 3 others were observing. then came a big push in our direction and I noticed arty shells were landing on top of the enemy advance, but the shells came in too slow. When i realized it was friendly arty and we only had one, I quickly spawned to the arty battery where i saw one man on the gun. I quickly occupied the other gun and since i had more experience of timing the buttons for reload and switching seats, i helped rain more shells on the enemy advance, ultimately breaking the attack and securing victory for the team.
Another match: Foy at night. My SL and a MG actively coordinated their fires at super long distances, thanks to the SL binoculars and callouts.
it was so fucking glorious.
I love hearing about these moments. Moments you don't get in many other games.
I learned this game in no time flat right when i got the basics by learning the controls and watched plenty of guided videos and got help from people who played the game and when I was comfortable I started playing 👍
It's thanks to channels like these that I was able to enjoy such an amazing game
My first games, I always stuck to the grunt roles as I knew I needed tutorage. First day in a tank platoon, I got lucky and my commander was a real vet as you described. Real helpful
This is brillliant, I've been through these first stages and then some, from "there's no f'n way I'm walking all that way to die again" to "It's me they're just targetting me with that godamned artilliary somehow" I'm currently in education and thankfully I'm getting through it a lot better now.
Had a lot of fun with our veteran Tank crew, we were dropping 150-200 Kills / 10+ vehicles a game, with each of us playing every day for months… At some point, we felt untouchable and knew every angle and position. Good times, great memories
“As you begin trudging on, towards what you think is the front line”😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is so true I downloaded this game 2 weeks ago and was stuck in stage 1 for like week just having fun playing the Gunner or Medic. Then I tried playing enginer and was so confused so I started talking to guys in stage 4 that were teaching me how to do different roles from armor to Arty and enginer. This sent me down a rabbit hole and now I stuck in stage 2 watching videos non stop to learn more about how to play each role!
Great video! I downloaded this game a couple years ago, got killed within 5 seconds of my first game and deleted it from my PC. I haven’t even thought about it again since then. Then your video appeared in my feed today and I decided to give it a watch. You made me pumped to learn more about it, even though I have no intention on trying it again. 😂 Good work sir. Subscribed.
Hahah that was a roller coaster of a comment. Thanks
I adore this video. When I've had a bit of a shit run with HLL it reminds me that I need to move out of 4 and into 5. Don't be toxic, and enjoy those special moments
Great video. The team I played with today earned two comeback victories on the middle points, while I served the commander role. It was challenging, but rewarding. Shout out to all the players who communicate, who accept their mistakes, who spread supplies, build garries and have fun. What I glimpsed of Stage 4 and 5 is exciting.
Here here
Im still a relative noob but I find playing as a medic most enjoyable. I'm not good at combat but I can if nessacary, and as a medic, if you are with a good group of people successfully defending a point and not just giving up immediately, you can truly turn the tide of a match. Also as a medic you can a lot of very grateful players, makes ya feel really good about your contribution.
One time I was playing with this player named Max, he started playing Welcome To The Jungle while we were defending a point.
I remember I played a few weeks ago, as commander, and a bunch of high levels kept team killing me if they saw me anywhere but in our own spawn. Crying in the command chat that even though I was supporting everyone, dropping supplies and building garries, I was doing it wrong because I wasn’t stood in spawn staring at the map. I was genuinely baffled, and got annoyed enough I left, and haven’t played since
Screw players like that. A commander can be on the battlefield and they might even get a better understanding of whats going on. If you die you lose like 20 seconds and if a squad needs help you can just take cover
Good commanders are in the battlefield, they can see what’s happening 1st hand instead of playing telephone with the team leads. You can also act faster
I played 2 games as commander.
One where every squad lead was telling me to constantly set up garries. That game I did just that setting them up in good areas to allow good flanking. Problem is no one understood flanking. You'd set up a garry and the whole team would just mass deploy and charge from that garry, or set up all their ops within a few meters of that garry and you'd get the same affect. No one listened to you whether we needed to go heavy on defense or switch to offense. Just told you to repeatedly build garries. So I left commander mid game (thing is I wasnt even the starting commander) and some higher level took over, but we didnt fare any better even when I was commander nor when any of the previous 3 guys were commander.
The second game I did stay around the central spawn garry a lot and helped out some higher levels who knew what they were doing on artillery. When asked too by sl's out on the battlefield, I looked at the map and called in stuff when I felt what was asked was truly necessary. Problem is the enemy recon squads were extremely annoying, though we did match them. Still that didnt help us.
Despite the levity your interpretation of the stages is spot on I went through every stage exactly the way you said it...
Is what it is my friend, it took a team of scientists 15 years to come up with the theory
I totally agree with the sentiment of the last stage. I’m not the best at gunplay, but I do understand the strategy end of HLL. And playing on console where you have a lot of new or more COD/Battlefield type players I find that I can do so much for a team by taking commander or squad lead and just ensuring that we always have good spawn points. While I’m by no means a veteran, just by understanding the importance of garrisons and garrison placement I’m able to make sure the real vets are out there on the frontlines kicking ass and taking names. Such a good feeling winning a match and knowing that my contribution was crucial in aiding my team to victory. Fucking love this game.
4 days into the game and I am in the Education level, exploring all the classes (had been picking support but turned out useless bcs squad leader doesn't even need me). So I turn into machine gunner, and gotta say with my aim of a blobfish estetique, I am doing well. My recent random squad was also really friendly, supportive, and good comms.
Only got 9 kills for an hour match but played vital in total defense. I self-honored myself because I relayed an enemy push info (was like 75% progress) to Squad Lead, and then makes entire ally falling back and blew up enemy's cap. best game so far, and still searching for more!
After 90+ hrs of aimless running around as rifleman and pretending my 9 kills contribute to the team, I finally decided to buy a headset, start communicating and I started picking roles like engineer, support and machine gunner. It took me long time to build confidence. Now I really enjoy the game and chit chats while constructing nodes. It's awesome :D Looking forward to try leading roles in the future.
Fantastic video buddy, greetings from Canada! Keep up the content, you made me laugh and chuckle quite a few times here! all the best!
Thanks, will do!
Yeah, that Head Shot “DING” it absolutely Pavlovian
Liked and subscribed for fantastic narrative.
You honour me ser
At 160 hours and lvl sixty-something I feel like I'm anywhere between stage 3 and 5 lol. Depending on what I'm doing at the moment. I too love the more supporting roles with less action after a rough day at work when there's just not enough braincells working together to keep smashing the frontline and leading an advance and when you miss 90 % of shots you take. Either that or defending points, especially when the opposing team is good so defence isn't just about sitting in the circle but about garry hunting and deleting flanks. With a good squad that's imo some of the best fun you can have - when neither team is steamrolling the other and there is actual competition for map control
Just got a new sub love the vid keep them coming 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes sir
I remember stage 2 well except I learned damage patterns of tanks in a matter of a few games and it was when the game first came out so every tanker was brain dead and struggled to switch gears so they just slowly crept toward the battle at 4kph or something similar
playing the game 2 years ahead
Glad I knew how to drive a stick when I was young
My favorite shooter or all time, took a break after update 14 but back in the fight and loving it
Yeah same here. Even bought PS after that trailer came out but glad to hear that the Devs are re-focusing their efforts
I absolutely adore this game!!! I’m currently in stage 2 right now and after watching this I’m worried about stage 3
Skipped to screaming “Army Corpse of Engineers” while dodging rockets in a supply truck to get supplies to my engineer building up Fort Kickass!
At the 7:30 mark "telling a well timed joke" is so true. Especially playing with the new players right now with the cloud merge. I was commanding a game and i was commanding somewhat back from the front lines. Placing defensive garries and dropping supplies for node placements, calling in warheads on foreheads. Commander things. Anyways, the game was starting to wind down. It was about 30 minutes left in warfare and we were trying to push the 4th point but the attack kept stalling. So naturally the way i play i tend to role play. So without telling anyone what i was doing i respawned at the forward attacking garrison, made my way up to the actual front line and proceeded to run behind my troops trying to rally them in my most old man commander voice i could muster. The type of thing where i was running in the wide open expected to get shot at any moment telling my men to follow me to the enemies. Tragically i proceeded to get yeeted back to yesterday almost immediately. But once i respawned and got back into the game. My whole squad chat was in a riot. They said there blueberries were absolutely on fire from what i did and we ended up taking the 4th and 5th points to win 5-0.
OPPERCHANCITY
Been playing for roughly a year and I’m just happy as a clam to stay in stage one
Luv this game and the player base.
My very first match was a snow match I died like 15 times in a row barely surviving for 7 sec. Mg 42 bullets fly everywhere asking for help and scared to death. Lol.
It really felt like I was in hell.
I didn’t play for weeks because of the frustration. Than I got on again as a medic following my squad around healing people being a hero. Lol than the game clicked for me lol. Now Iam at stage 5 lol helping new players and leading squads ❤❤❤
Brilliant. I’m level 60 something. Stage 5 mentality with stage on 1 skills. I think the most rewarding things are building up the last point like Fort Knox or keeping the push alive as a medic.
Frankly the engineering role was built to learn the game if you build nodes you can level engineer really fast. And they have a decent set of weapon choices as you progress. However one of my favorite roles is intact the support role because even if your officer is ditzy you can always hand off your supplies to another officer to help build a garrison mabey even one in enemy territory with the help of his supply guys, that said I hate the officer role. Officer chat is cancer to my ears, I dislike having people always shouting while I'm trying to comuni ate objectives and markers to my squad, so Goodluck finding me playing as an officer
Brilliant video 🤘🏽
Thanks dude
I just got HLL this week; pretty well into Stage 1 and I completely like to avoid leading squads for now... but I never thought getting an enemy player would be so rewarding in a game. Only one game I've played where taking a good shot just feels glorious
Was playing what I believe was Carentan on the US team, had my M1 in a building, Germans coming thru the smoke and I popped off a round or two that placed BEAUTIFULLY on an enemy; I literally just started shouting on proximity chat "I GOT ONE OF EM! I GOT ONE!"
Happiest I've been since Christmas... and I'm honestly happy where I am, playing as a Rifleman or Support; or my absolute favorire, machine gunner. the 1919 is my trusty steed when they start coming across the open fields on Foy like silly little Stahlhelm-wearing lemmings off to die for the Fatherland... to my 1919
I loved this video! Impressed on how accurate the progression was described. I do feel it missed a good featurette on the horrors at stage 1- 2, right before guides. 'Bombing Runs' that put me in awe and then quickly FEAR the first time i saw one creep towards my position. THEN the spectacle of a dueling bombing run is just, f*ck*ng beautiful. Maybe that is best left for the same surprising appearance on your journey through stages.
Also, what is that song on Stage 4? The blues song?!
Thanks dude! Yeah I didn't wanna spoil the suprise for any noobs watching. Maybe I'll make a video of the noob experience. Just get a fresh account and see what it's like.
The song is called Bbq something, it's on the YT audio library, I'll have a look for the full title
For some reason I dislike leading infantry squads, but love leading tank squads, but it definitely took me a while, and quite a lot of guides, to learn how it all worked, there´s a steep learning curve but definitely worth it! ( For some days then back to not playing it for a month )
Youll still be learning to play better and better once your past level 200
If you ain't you messed up
great vid man
This is fantastic 😂🤣😂
Stage five is definitely a goal, especially in a game like this or warthunder.
I am by no means a veteran at this game and yet I've had a few amazing unforgettable moments.
One in particular is when I jumped into a game all on my own without my friends, which I rarely do. The match just started and I Immediately realised we were getting rinsed but I didn't want to jump out and get into another queue so... I did what I did best.
Truth is I am not a very good combatant. Yet I love violent games, go figure. But my preferred role is always support, more specifically any role where I can heal so I main medic. So basically what happened after about 10 straight deaths trying to at least fight back is that I gave up entirely on eliminating any enemies, I proverbially threw away my gun and ran across the battlefields picking up every man I saw. Like I said, we were getting rinsed, defeat was all but ensured, thus my allies were dropping like flies all around me constantly.
At some point I'll admit, I wondered what I was even doing, what's the point in playing a wargame where I'm not even fighting a war, especially since we couldn't gain even a single inch and every offensive was shut down and defences quickly broke apart. But I kept going, having fun in my own way, saving lives. Now I won't take credit for this myself but the enemy did start to slow down as I began focusing entirely on healing anyone I saw and we managed to hold out for I think about 20 minutes holding a settlement, despite the coordination and sheer firepower of our enemies. And that's when it popped.
"Achievement unlocked: Desmond Doss; Revive 50 friendly players in one match." 0.2% rarity on Steam. Still damn proud of that!
My friend and I have played for about 2-3 years now, and he still recently annihilated everyone on our team on point with an artillery shell. The shell hit me directly.
How to smell enemy garries and nodes?
1. You must know map. Every building, field, trench, forest...
2. Look on the tactical map and see how are capture points located.
3. Also look sometimes on the sky for enemy supply drop or airhead (you can see parachuting something down? Look on the tactical map. Isn't it marked? It's not yours.)
4. Think where would you place safe garry, nodes. Where would you place perfect flanking garry for example. Now think you're on the other side.
5. Sometimes nodes can be found in enemey HQ. And if you see massive troop movement from one specific direction, try to avoid gunfire and try to find their spawning place. Maybe enemy garry, maybe airhead. Carefully approach to it (enemies can spawn right in front of you) and piss them with destroying their garry/airhead 👍
All 5 stages: WHY DO I MOVE SLOWER THAN A MAN WITH NO ARMS AND NO LEGS
My all time favorite moment was when I took over SL for my squad and joined the command chat. The members in the voice chat were literally talking so much about their kills, the guns they liked, etc I literally couldn’t communicate with my actual squad. They then started to flame me for not leading my squad to build a garrison behind enemy lines when I genuinely could not hear my squad answer if they got my orders or not. It was insanely frustrating
You can go to audio options and turn leadership chat down and turn unit chat up. They really need to implement the ability to pan squad to the left, and pan command to the right. Or other way around, doesn’t matter.
This sums my experience very well 😂
I know...I went through it
great video /can relate!
Thanks dude
I’be been playing for about a week now so I’m probably firmly in the 2nd stage but I’d like to think I’m moving out to 4. I’ve always played supporting roles in games that allow me to so this just fit right in
Have about 100 hours in the game and close to level 55.
Have to say I enjoy the game for its design for strategic thinking and risk taking. Every person has a role to fulfill and makes an impact on the game. I’ve been getting a lot better at the squad leader, recon, and support roles. SL for strategic thinking and leader ship. Recon for the ability to harass the enemy especially when you’re ticked off at their arty. And support for the ability to help the SL and help the team be able to spawn and get into the fight.
Eventually when I get more experience I’d be interested in trying out the commander role. If anyone has advice and knowledge on what makes a great commander i would be grateful to know!
Hoping to see you guys on the battlefield!
I’ve played for two days now and I think my biggest newbie advice is to think tactically rather then think of getting kills, number 1 you won’t know a lot of the time because there’s a lot of range in this game and it’s not always obvious.
Like I had a situation yesterday where we were running in a field toward a church, whole place was quiet until a shooter opened up on us from the top floor, one of us was shot, the dirt was kicking up around us.
I could have done the call of duty thing and kept running forward but instead I thought a little bit “Hey..I’m the automatic rifleman .. what if I suppressed for my dudes”
And that’s what I did, I dropped to the floor near a hedge and began opening up myself on the upper windows, he didn’t return any shots and this provided my team time to get inside and clear it themselves.
Yeah I didn’t manage to actually kill anybody (it was a very long distance for the BAR so I probably just sprayed the building st best) but I supported my squad and engaged my mind.
In my opinion that’s where the real entertainment comes in, it’s those situations where you’ve got to think a little
Also resist the urge to reload after a kill, I’ve been in several reload battles now and they’re the worst
Im phase 2. I get a good amount of kills, main one class after another and have developed a basic tactical understanding for the game. Still, there are features unknown and sometimes, the game feels hard to predict. What I noticed was, that spotting enemies, anticipating their location became easier and under fire, I mostly remain calm. Sometimes, Im confused with game vocab tho
I'm nearly at 900hrs and Stage 2 and 5 at the same time. Still haven't touched artillery or armor. Love this game.
Cheers.
Yeah I think I'm the same as you
Yup. Stage 5. I accepted that im shit some days, good others, and no matter which way you swing that day someone will still call you trash. Even if you are a key factor as to why the game ran smoothly.
Lol, my first gameplay i was pin down by mg fire, was playing as a medic, got my first tank kill, and i was hooked but managed to stop myself from playing, also the bumbing run...that is scary
I usually start the match by building nodes then i switch to machine gunner or auto rifleman, find a good defensive spot or suppress the absolute hell out of enemies so the team can advance up to a strong point
So true. I recognise myself in each of these 5 stages! I believe myself reached stage 5 few months ago after 2500 hours of gameplay.
I have played exactly zero hours of HLL and far too many playing squad..
However, this was a cinematic & educational masterpiece.
I almost cried at the end of this video ❤u feel.part of something , even if thats a group of 30s married working men who only can play a couole hours at weekend.
relatable, good video
The only thing holding me back from moving on to stage five is the fact I refuse to take up command or squad lead positions. Grunt life baby
the guide we don't deserve, but need
Man the bazooka moment you described was me exactly
Dude, when you take AT for the first time it's so exciting....and demoralising but also awesome
@@McBluffinGaming I thought I was billy badass until I fired the rocket
@@jalenwilliams8622 yep. That first bazooka fart is sobering. However nothing will beat that first tank kill
That emperor palpatine impression was spot on, impressive!
Currently at stage 2 at the moment starting to get about 4 kills a match. Though keep getting stuck with rubbish teams no communication or anything like team work. Took out me first Sherman by chance, oh it was lovely didn’t even know I was there until the bazooka took them out
Yesterday I accepted, I'm just not a good shooter, spent the match covering a defense as an Officer with binos marking infantry movements from a high point, while also informing command/squad on voice. Suddenly discovered a game within a game of watching my side taking out squadrons of enemies that couldn't move from their OP and garrisons.
Hell let loose has game modes within game modes, next I learned artillery ( I solo locked, please don't hate me) so I could speak to command and learned the calculations, asked command for targets, watched the maps, zero'd in. Nobody else was on artillery and we'd been stuck without advancement, within ten minutes of shelling key points, the army moves up on points that had been pinned down. As an LGM, I learned that it's not about kills, it's about terrifying the shit out of the enemy so your squad can move up, we had enemies on the tree line, they'd pop up likes moles and sniper, nobody could move up without being killed, LMG burst firing along the hedgeline stopped them from sniping as the squad moved up and mowed them down, you suddenly realize it's about suppressive fire, about holding key points from squads moving in tight lines.
This is not a FPS, this is a tactical co-op that requires intelligence, creativity and to be a sneaky bastard outsmarting your enemy, far beyond a FPS, it's a god tier war simulator.
This is legendary.
Thank you sir
I consider myself firmly in stage 5 at this point, but it's not a good thing really, I very much want to feel like I did at stage 1 again to be honest, those first kills were like no other experience I've had playing games 👍or the first time you get artied along with the whole team😊 i do miss those thrills.
I spend an hour and a half figuring out the tank and still had a blast
Well done ol' chap 👏
Thank you my good man
When you see artillery right infront of you, its probably too late
Accept your fate but try to run away
I havent even been playing that long and i understood up to stage 3. I couldn't stop laughing and told myself i need to get back to the drawing board. 😂
Can confirm. I’m a Garrison Bloodhound, a True Spotter at heart and I almost have a sixth sense for Enemy Nodes haha
Recon was meant for you buddy! I like that role for the strategy and for the ability to harass the enemy team XD
@@Foxtrot07gamer weakening an enemy point before your team captures the front line is an awesome feeling. Like you’re setting up some dominoes and watching them fall. Nothing says “we’re out of garrisons” like a supply drop straight on the enemy point haha
“The rocket hits the ground 89 m in front of you and 200 m from the tiger tank” there truly is no unique human experience
I'm loving the thumbnail of the video
Haha cheers
I started 2 months ago and im at stage 1 but atleast i read the instructions and tutorials lol but its still a challange thankfully some players are teaching us noobies.
Def leaving stage one into stage two… I laughed when her brought up the watch, bcuz I def picked Officer as a lvl 3 with not a clue what was going on 😂
I’m at stage 2, and really enjoy the simple riflemen role, I’m a decent shot and will average 5-10 kills a game, and really like assault as well and don’t mind taking orders from a good squad leader
I was a noob I tried armor once and i had no idea but a player named bonnie taught me the strings and told me not to fully zoom in and turn my turret 180 degrees
