I'll never forget the commander that encouraged me to drive a supply truck for the first time. He hopped into the passenger seat and tutored me on how to build nodes and where the best place would be to drop supplies. I think we lost the match because he was busy showing me something but prioritized my knowledge over the match. This game is a breath of fresh air, and I find it really cool how such an unforgiving game has such a helpful, wholesome, and often times hilarious community
100% agree with how friendly the community is. My first match someone asked me to be an engineer and I told him I didn’t know how that class works and he told me a ton
You always have assholes in every community, but odds are if you're new and show that you're trying to learn, people will be more than happy to help. It's great!
@@SoulSniperYT Being on Xbox I’ve played this game for just over a year now and I can only remember a few assholes. People willing to teach the new kids instead of getting annoyed is way different on this game after played COD and BF for years. Those games also don’t require as much either so I guess it makes sense. Also with the way that this game is I feel that it weeds out most of the immature people you see filling COD lobbies
@@SoulSniperYT Yeah I love taking over a squad of new players and then guide them. Most do want to learn the game, and are happy to get advices, and tent to follow your lead!
I started playing on friday. Joined as level one and one level 200 dude immidiatly wrote: "You, new dude, come in my squad, we gonna explain you stuff if you like". I love it.
@@Femboy_Bunny-HLLI did a few times I was asking for supplies a few minutes ago because we needed a garrison we didn’t have one yet they never got the supplies there was like 20 minutes and they did nothing more than that even (all you have to do is spawn on my point then choose support and put it down in a 50m radius of the area I want to put it in it’s not even hard)
@@ewelinastoj4259 I also had two teammates who left their mic on and one kept on saying to the squad "shut up n word" and the other kept on saying "shut up" as he was in the bathroom or something. Idk that second dude sounded like he was on the toilet
7th game last night, decided to take on the commander role since no-one else would. Over the course of another 30 minutes, a player called Yuri guided me on how to make the best usage of the Commander abilities. Most welcoming community ever
@SoulSniper Thanks! Honestly a smashing game, only one I can die 30 times and still stay in the game. I do wish that there were genuine tutorials n such to teach the basics, so far the only way I've learned to be a squad commander is through baptism by fire
My first and only commander game was the same way. No one would take it, so I tried it. Everyone was patient and understanding. It got overwhelming at times, but was a good time. We ended up winning the game
I just started this game and took a tanker crewman roll in my third game. I debated telling my crewmates that I've never operated a tank before and decided against it. I made a couple minor mistakes and they quickly realized I'm a newbie. They proceeded to teach me and I had one of the coolest gaming experiences ever as we took down 8 tanks and probably around 60 foot soldiers in the first tank.
Man, I played my first game of squad leader when I was a level 3. I fell in love with the role because of the squad I was with. They were all relatively seasoned players, who helped me and taught me the ins and outs of the game. Truly the best game community I've ever played in. Those guys from my first SL game are still regulars in my squad and it makes the game so enjoyable.
I know I'm quite late to this post but I'm a beginner today I played my first games and I stepped up as office of my friends squad as none of us had any prior experience and our Commander was shouting about getting our engineer to build nodes, I asked a simple question of what kind of node should my engineer build because he asked me also being new and the Commander just went off on me. Luckily 4 other officers of different squads stuck up for me and told the Commander he was in the wrong however this post isn't entirely true as there is still some toxic vets however from my time today I have seen the community is a lovely bunch.
Just adding on a few things: 1) Bushes are your friend (and foe): Bushes, good for hiding, and ambushing people. Always try to be near one, it might save you. (In short.) 2) TRUCKS: I swear to god, please return the trucks if you can once dropping off soldiers. It’s good to place them next to either Garrisons, or back at the HQ. We really don’t need a transport truck taking a tank shell just cause someone left it sitting in the capture point.
I'd like to add to ur list as well. If one is driving a truck. Please don't park in the middle of the road!!! Tanks and other vehicles have to get by too! It's like the world has forgotten all about common sense and consideration.
Just played my first 3 matches on your server this morning. Won all 3 matches and was shoved into commander role in the last match. We were down 2-3 in territories on warfare and my squad leaders coached me to where we ended up winning. Needless to say I am instantly hooked to this game.
@@SoulSniperYT I watched all of your beginner guides and joined your discord before going in but had played a lot of Red Orchestra and Enlisted previously before stepping in. Still need to get used to the whole supplies being near where to build and all but the squad leaders just told me what they needed and helped me figure out certain keys that i didnt understand. It was sick!
As a squad lead with over 200 hours in that role I say this is all solid advice. The biggest advice here though is in fact talk, communicate, even if it’s basic like “hey I see guys at heading 230”. Play your role, learn it, find one that fits and learn how to play it.
Just got the game and didn't really know what I was doing besides running around as a medic wherever the combat was happening, but I managed to get the Desmond Doss achievement and got a lot of "Thanks a lot doc." or "Medic, I can't feel my legs." I don't know if I was completely useful or not, but I felt a sense of fulfillment and pride being 1 of our 2 medics for the entire team.
As a new player it's a great roll to chose, nobody really cares if you can't get to them and are super grateful if you do, you don't take up sometimes invaluable rolls like anti tank before your competent at the game and it can be brilliant fun running through incoming fire, smoke and explosions to save someone. Had a few great games playing as medic, esp when I first played HLL
Yea no way lvl50. I joined the game from Squad and I learned the new mechanics very quickly because they are similar. They just need to implement a good tutorial
As a new player, I was surprised at how nice the community was and willingness to explain the role. We had a commander playing his second or third game in that role and a few other squad leaders were giving him point. I prefer medic or engineer but one of my pet peeves is when the squad leader abdicates the role and nobody steps up. One of the things that I do as squad lead is tell my squad is on Warfare, to maintain defense on our objective and let other units attack and then move up once the next objective is taken. I'll also make sure to talk to other squad leads and the commander about getting Garrys up on fall back locations as well as an OP for my squad outside of the Garry. My rule of thumb is to at least have 2-3 sides of cover with garrys and OP's to prevent us getting killed off spawn. On Offensive, I always set up the fall back garry and have an OP near the current objective.
Most heartwarming thing I heard when a bunch of veteran SLs showed a newbie commander the ropes was when one of the guys, after maybe 50 minutes, said in a glorious Scottish accent "Ya know laddie, even if ya still learning, ya don't have to do everything we say. After all, in the end we're just a bunch of wankers stupid enough to go Squad Lead. So bring your ideas, and we'll work it out."
Another great video. As you say, new players shouldn't be shy about asking for help. I would only add that if they find themselves in a squad in which the other players aren't talking, or one in which they're not being helpful, move to another squad.
A great suggestion for sure. Also, joining the discord and getting to know the server regulars is a fantastic way to ensure you almost always have a group of people who communicate and have a good time. discord.gg/soulsniper That's how I met Thomas Cochrane!
I'll chip in on this, having been a new player in games like Battlefield back in the day. There are some people who just aren't overly talkative or... well have vocal issues like myself. When I speak... well it's not a pleasing sound.
I’ve only played a few matches so far and I gotta say, this community is amazing. I’ve had a ton of laughs and even had a squad commander show me some of the ropes on how to be more effective. I’m excited for more for sure!
I just started playing a few weeks ago. I am former 8404 Navy Hospital Corpsman and playing medic is def my vibe. Thank you for this video. Helped me a ton.
Started playing this game on console yesterday, so far the players I’ve played with have been extremely welcoming and helpful. Such a fun game and I can’t wait to learn more.
I’ve just picked up HLL and man this game is definitely worth it and the community is actually welcoming. I usually always play medic and I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many “thank you” and “i appreciate you” in a single match. I had a guy guide me to take down 2 enemies as I didn’t have visuals on them but were 2 arms lengths away behind a small hill after I managed to take them out without taking any hits I got a “good job, great shots” then he got gunned down. Great vid btw!
I'm a HLL Vetran and I loved the don't create a Squad and abandon the SL position. I'm maxed out in Commander and Squad Leader but not in any of the Squad positions I am constantly getting into match and the SL will abandon early or mud game and nobody wants to step up which leaves me and then half of time nobody wants to listen. "Hey CO said our Squad has defend the last point" and then I got one dude with me waiting at the point and then 4-5 dudes still attacking while getting overran. Idk what's up with new players but the just wanna do their own thing 90% of the time and I contemplate leaving HLL and Squad all together. Great video though
Just tell 'em they have to listen to you, or you'll kick 'em from the squad, it helps a lot and sometimes they will even start to like you. And if they don't listen just really kick 'em from your squad once you have to redeploy, and keep kicking when they rejoin and don't listen.
The most important thing for new players you have said is "This game has no Team Deathmatch". If you want kills go play BF or CoD or else. Nobody will be mean to you when you're new or when you can't talk, but never ever just go for kills, it's the only thing we're allergic to. It's a team game, Teamwork makes the dream work. :)
My contributions to the team usually come from putting up somewhere around 2.5 kills to deaths. If the other team isn’t alive how can they kill my team mates or take objectives? :)
Voice chat on hll is an awesome experience. The banter, the laughs, the strategizing and teamwork, the calls for medic. Its half the reason this game is so awesome.
Yesterday I played for the first time as a tank crewman. I joined two guys and told them I'm new. It was my best game so far. Both were super nice and taught me how to drive thse heavy thing, shoot etc.
I tried this game a while ago and thought it was too much for me at the time. After seeing your sniper gameplay I gave it another go after many years and just kept it simple. Listened to my SL and tried to learn the game abit more. Aside from the game running like trash this is my favourite shooter ever. One game of HLL gives me more joy than an entire COD cycle. I hope this game isn’t dying any time soon.
One of the few problems with the Hell Let Loose game selection is joining a game where every squad is either full or locked. This happens quite a bit. That's why some people create an infantry squad and then change roles. They might not feel comfortable as the company commander; so, they relieve themselves of that role.
You’re attitude towards new players sums up the community perfectly, dope game with dope players. I’m relatively new myself and get advice, tips, basic info and more almost every time I’m on. Love the content. Gonna watch your other stuff now
I've played alot of BF1. BF2 and COD WW2. been away from gaming for a while and just now picked up Hell let loose. I'm very excited to hop on and very motivatd now after your video. Thanks!
I love how cinematic and immersive it is. By its fundamentals, you actually have to move and communicate as an actual soldier in WW2. Not like COD that’s fast paced, or BF where you can just do whatever you want. The best is when your under heavy fire defending on point with your team on local chat. Hearing everyone talk In militaristic terms while bullets are flying past your head, hearing armor chug across the road spitting out smoke and everyone is freaking out. It’s crazy how there’s so many people communicating with each other when they aren’t even in the same squads, but we all have the same objective. Literally feels like your in a movie. Also you genuinely have to try so hard for so long to win. So when you do, it’s so satisfying. You have to earn it.
On my second game I created a squad thinking that I can give the officer role to someone else after. I apologized to my squad and they told me "you got this" and guided me thru and we had an amazing game where I popped off and got lots of commendations. Friendliest community of any game I've played.
@@squidy4082 Because there is no reason to be mad. Almost everything can be solved in a friendly way. :D Except for intentional teamkilling and stuff like that of course.
Downloaded HLL about 8 months ago, played one game and had the worst experience so didn't return. Watched a heap of content and still really wanted to learn to play and enjoy it. Jumped on just over a week ago and ended up as a SL without realising it being a noob and all. I ended up getting the best and most supportive squad who helped teach me what to do and how to play. This completely changed the game and I fell in love. I'm now playing as frequently as I can and am loving the broad style of gameplay as well as being able to play different roles and it just be a run and gun style of game. Thank you for the informative videos they're really well composed and provide such a great amount of info
Never fear about not knowing. Feel free to ask your squad mates they'll always be happy to help! Also, no matter how much time you have into the game you still always learn things. I have 400 hours into the game and I just found out you can use Q or E to rotate barbwire to fit into tighter spots where you otherwise couldn't place. (works on most things). And I still blow mind of players even with 1000 hours that you can HOLD Space to vault over objects with greater success vs slapping space trying to get over walls. It works a LOT better if you get into the habit of holding space.
You can use q or e to move any structure. Also, here’s a tip I’ve taught level 200+ players - for infantry squad leaders only* You can pick up your outpost the same way you dismantle other things: Hold F. This resets your OP timer, and lets you put it down immediately. Oh you just dropped your OP and then had to kill a dude immediately afterwards who now knows where your OP is? No problem, pick it up and move it.
I wish I had watched this video a few days ago before my first game, I joined quickly and assumed I wouldn't cause any trouble and could stay out of the way by making my own infantry squad. Instant regret, didn't even have my headset on, tied directly to command channels, being asked to do things way beyond my experience level and not making anyone aware I was brandy new. I've actually met a handful of really cool people so far and I'm having fun. I just really have to hone in on finding targets and winning gunfights. Thank you for the videos!
Awesome little vid to help out ways of getting things done, albeit my first 3 hours of game time were entirely spent as a squad leader, but that time alone, having asked questions that a commander and fellow squad leaders were happy to answer, and prior experience with similar games as squad lead, was enough to get so much satisfaction. Dying a lot less than expected, getting a lot more crucial kills to defend areas and garrisons, learning how to use allied garrisons and OPs to figure out where enemies are located, and then placing garrisons and your own OPs in locations to help push the enemy from multiple directions all come out so well in a game like this
I'm pretty new to the game and most of the time playing as medic or a rifleman. Yesterday I had the best match so far. Two squads were really working together perfectly which was insanely effective. Good cooperation, everyone taking his role seriously and effective communication were the key to our success as far as I can tell. The enemy fought fierce and at times we were vastly outnumbered, but due to the fantastic teamplay we were an unstoppable force. The gaming experience was so good, I had butterflies in my stomach hours later. HLL is a fantastic game if you play with the right people.
I was taught a lot when I was new and the second I knew something new I did not hesitate to give that knowledge on to the next new player. This continues throughout the whole game which makes the community one of the best.
Great stuff Soul! This should be required viewing for all new players. AND for players that didn't get it the first time around. Or the second. Or third...
Been playing Medic which i'm told is a bit low priority compared to support, good tank crew, officers, ect But gotta say, almost every rev i do, i'm almost always met with a "Cheers mate, you're a legend" or a simple "Thank you medic" Wholesome stuff 💙
As someone who constantly has to deal with folks going solo locked tanks. THANK YOU. It gets beyond annoying when solo players constantly grab Medium or Heavy Tanks. Using up fuel and resources; crippling their own team. Then leaving when we run out of supplies.
What i am doing recently as a new player is imitate what the others do. If they run while croaching i will do the same, if they charge i will charge. Great tactic.
It’s a good thing to do when new, but sometimes you get lobbies where you will have to initiate the charge or the breaking factor of a stiff defense. I’ve played countless games where I find myself trying to get a couple people to push up or throw smokes. If you make people feel like they’re going to be doing a big thing they’re more likely to do it, Can’t remember how many times I’ve helped break a defensive line by getting a few blueberries or squad mates to throw smokes or cover me while I ran to take out a garrison or outpost. Really good rush of adrenaline when the moments after the take down you see your troops start to move into the gap you’ve just helped to create. Edit: spelling
I had another streamer mention your server for hell let loose. not an easy one to get into, but still trying. he said it is a good one and he plays on it often. i just started back with it and am having to relearn everything. so this video helped. look forward to seeing you and everyone else out there.!!
When defensive garrisons are not getting built, I go solo SL with a locked squad and then I'll just play the match solo and check the map for supply drops and help the commander build garrisons.
I never intended to be squad leader, but I had to start to take it for two reasons: 1. nobody else wanted it; 2. the one who took never said a word. In my experience, a properly communicating team has a great advantage over a team that is not communicating, or not coordinating. Get a mic, and don't be shy to use it. I found the players really helpful if you tell them that you're new. I usually ask the squad to commend low levels; the better loadout the team has, the better chance we stand. Never act like a dork who just came from CSGO and brags about knowing everything. I'm over 40 and my reflexes aren't the best anymore, but I found absolutely great in this game that you can be useful and gain a ton of XP in some roles even without firing a single shot.
I appreciate the video and effort in trying to help newcomers. I been watching several videos on this game and been on the fence on getting it since I don't have buddies that play it. But it's nice to see people are chill with new comers. I love games like this that take thinking and strategy unlike COD. Coming from battlefield and I think this will be a huge treat to own. I'll be getting it tonight. Super excited
@@SoulSniperYT I'll make sure to join, fortunately I have my buddy that will join me, but we are both new. Perfect and thanks for the invite, we both play on PC so this will be super fun!
Great video! One thing I'm not 100% on boat with - recommending newbies rifleman class. There are multiple classes that do the same thing + more. But I get that newbie locking AT or engi could be worrying at times. Best thing is to ask squad what they need. Support players are angels
Great video souls! I think I should give this a game another chance. I was so lost but at least I know what not to do now and should watch a class guide!
Yea man give it another chance! Watch the videos in my General Guides playlist, and then pick a role and watch my corresponding role guide and I think you'll have a great time. Especially if you play on my server (if you're on PC) and join the discord to meet some of the really cool people who play regularly.
The best tip, when you’re new, is to find talking squads. Silence is misery in this game. Enter a game, select a random squad, say ‘hello’. If no response, exit until someone responds. If the whole lobby is bad, exit the lobby and try again. Eventually you will have a repertoire of friends who will join you in every game and you won’t have that problem.
Definitely give it another chance, it's worth it. It can be pretty frustrating at times (mainly when your team sucks) but when you have a good team and squad it's amazing. Definitely my favorite FPS I have ever played.
That’s 100% true man the community for this game is so refreshing, had some guys take a whole game to teach me how to play in the tank, we ended up tearing the enemy team up by the end of it
As a player in WOR I’ve considered getting this game. Looks kinda similar in some ways being a more realistic combat experience than your more arcade type shooters.
Great info! I just started playing and wish I had watched this before my first game (as well as the Rifleman guide). Luckily I ended up with a SL who did a great job of explaining that the game is really all about access to the front, garries and OPs and... just generally the squad was supportive and cool. Thanks for all your guides, SS!
only started the game today, gonna check out the engineer video after this, met some really cool guys that i formed up tank crews with and we did pretty well, i was really proud of myself cuz i spotted a T-34 for my team and we actually managed to kill it lol, loving the game so far thanks for the tips!
It’s true. I went from barely knowing what was going on to actually being a contributing member of squads by binging these videos. And the server is a cut above many others. Thank you!
Honestly, despite this game being sort of a dying simulator for me, it is definitely good, the folks communicate and are generally nice, well, most of the time. But i do gotta shoutout that guy who taught me how to drive the tank in this game, he was really patient with me, and later on in that same match, we rolled for a 50 killstreak in a Panzer IV, honestly the most fun match i've had on this game as a new player
Honestly one of the best things in this game is being in a well communicated armor crew in a recon tank with a well communicated commander and officers.
“Chill and welcoming community” definitely not in my experience. I just get yelled at 90% of the time by teenagers or rotc nerds. My friend and I grabbed recon and went behind enemy lines. We together racked up around 40 kills. And the entire time we had a commander on the verge of tears in game chat because of it. I assume because we weren’t playing objective or doing more with the recon than others might have. At the end of the day it’s a game and is for for fun, and we had fun. People take it a little too seriously in my experience.
You do get those types who take it way too seriously at times. But I still think compared to other online gaming communities I've experienced, the HLL community is the most inviting and overall chill.
0:57 that is a massive LIE! I cant even play the game because servers kick me for not having a high enough lvl + IF i get to join a server, everysquad that isnt even full is locked so I cant join them to "learn"... wtf is this elitism?
I was new to the game a few weeks ago and I had spawned in as a tank commander. A nice fellow joined me and helped me learn the basics. He was super friendly and helpful and it was a great experience.
If i paid 65 dollars for a game i will play it how ever i want...i hate when people tell someone they dont even know how to play a game...let people do what they want with a game they paid for
I agree mostly but you still need to abide by the general manners of the playerbase. You can't get a ticket to Disney land and just start lighting up squares there
Today is my 1st day playing, had a few games as rifle men then became squad leader unintentionally but my squad and commander was so nice and talked me through it all
It was like that. Until they put it on game pass. I'm a game pass player. But I'm a Hell Let Lose kinda guy. Game pass players typically run around like morons, attacking the objective with 40 guys. While the rest are actually trying to play strategically. Personally, I asked a lot of questions and listened to a lot of videos because I realized pretty quickly. I wasn't playing some battlefield game.
When I started the game I knew I probably shouldn't take squad leader but there was no squad left to join so I became the squad leader, thankfully there was a guy helping me how and what to do and I was able to somehow manage it through
Just started playing through Game Pass. I am hooked! It’s so immersive. A lil complicated but not too much. Best advice that was given to me was “If you can’t take the time to read the field manual, then this game probably isn’t for you.
My first match my team taught me how to be a squad leader. How to place things, switch chats and how to callout for the game. It was a rough game but I learned a ton and now I have the chance to help out any new guy I come across
I haven't had this game for a week yet but I have already got a good hang of it. Not even two days ago I was playing as my squads officer and realized that we had no commander. Me being only a level seventeen realized I couldn't become the commander. I just gave orders to all the other officers until we eventually lost the map. Hell. This game has pretty much become my main UA-cam uploads at this point.
I also think it was like my second or fourth match in which I created the squad and realized oh I’m squad leader, and some people that already join my squad at that point so I asked one of them if they could take the officer role from me because I was new and this one guy said leave squad rejoin. I’ll take officer a roll. He was also nice to me.
I agree with this being the chillest community. I've been so used to rainbow six and league so having help from nearby players was so amazing. I highly recommend this game, tons of gameplay options that all directly help the team. Surprised I haven't seen more hacking in HLL as well, I think after 200 hours, only seen 1 blatant cheater.
I actually picked up hell let loose a few days ago and it is a total breath of fresh air for someone who has bern playing COD for years at this point. Ive even played a few good games as an officer, even tho automatic riflemen is my best class.
I played for the first time last night and did many of the things on this list (apart from the truck one, I saw someone do it and everyone shouted 🤣) I'm going to proceed to watch all your videos and learn the game, thank you for uploading!
Yeah, it's actually kinda bizarre how nice and patient the majority of the community is. I'm not used to it XD. A memory that stands out for me was the officer in the random squad I joined asked me to be support. I told him I wasn't COMPLETELY clueless but still didn't know much and he answered EVERY question I had, gave me advice, and then at the end of the game, he got on the squad VC and said "guys, please, everybody make sure to commend Penguin (me). Let's get him leveled up.". Not only that but the next match, we see each other again (now in different squads) and it was like a real life reunion, we were so happy to see each other again. He takes me all the way back to HQ and teaches me how to best farm xp, as an engineer. I just thought "Dude... why is he so nice? Isn't he supposed to TK me for being new and then harass me to uninstall the game, like in every other game I play?"
As somebody who never did any shooters like this, the comunity is THE best. Like, join a squad, ask "hey, what do i do? What role should i play?" and you get a quick quide, tips and tricks and directions within 30 seconds of asking.
Obviously there are some turds here and there, but overall it's a really great community. Being in a good squad in a good match, this game is hard to beat!
I`ve squad-baited a few times when I first started.😳 I would usually only do it if I waited for a minute or two and there were still no unlocked squads. I mostly did it because I was new and was aware that Squad Leaders are usually best for more experienced players and didn`t want to get yelled at for playing a SL at level 1-10. Luckily, I learned the game fast and have even volunteered to be SL a few times after our initial one left.
You're a lot easier to spot when moving around. I find sticking close to a wall and laying on the ground is a good position. Lay next to a wall that runs perpendicular to the wall the enemy is hiding behind. Don't run or crouch move to the position, you crawl on the ground and through any available vegetation. You can get close enough that when they pop their heads up to shoot, you can pop them at close range and get a lot of them before they figure you out.
Medics earn a lot of respect in the community because their class is one that sacrifices firepower for a unique ability to save your teammates. When you’ve got a medic who tries his best to revive (and patch up!) any of his fallen comrades instead of looking for kills, you have a team that lasts a lot longer in the fight, and a team that isn’t upset with having to redeploy every time they’re shot. Guys like you make the playing experience just as much as good Commanders and Officers, so keep up the good work bro :)
“It’s the most chill player base” 99% agree, although I did accidentally leave one guy behind while driving the truck and was basically hunted down for the rest of the game for that, still pretty fun/funny so I didn’t mind
A few days ago I decided to take the officer role in my squad for the first time after the first guy’s game crashed. My squad guided me through and the commander happily gave me orders to flank and hold the area where he was dropping supplies to build a garrison. The community is really a friendly and funny when in the proxy chat.
Played this game for the first time yesterday and I’ve never been so happy with how welcoming players are and understand that new players won’t know everything
Glad you called out that people just need to ask. We're all happy to explain things if you just ask.. theres a lot to learn and weve all been there. NOT talking is the real crime lol
I showed a lvl 3 medic how to survive in his 2nd match, it was awesome to kind of tutor a new player in all the chaos lmao. If there are a few things I would recommend, it's to prioritize staying alive and communicating always and accurately. People shouldn't be spawning in and there's an engagement and not know about it until it's too late or not know which direction the enemy is, reloading and when you're moving, etc. Everyone benefits from this, the squad stays alive longer and is so much more effective that it literally changes the game.
I joined a recon squad last night and finally finished my first ever game. The guy was awesome and led me though what I did yo do as his spotter. It was amazing and great. If it wasn’t for him I probably would have quit. It was a bit rough but he was still supportive and we ended up wrapping the spawn to take out artillery and we came back and won once it was taken out. Supportive players are amazing!
I'll never forget the commander that encouraged me to drive a supply truck for the first time. He hopped into the passenger seat and tutored me on how to build nodes and where the best place would be to drop supplies. I think we lost the match because he was busy showing me something but prioritized my knowledge over the match. This game is a breath of fresh air, and I find it really cool how such an unforgiving game has such a helpful, wholesome, and often times hilarious community
That's awesome. I have mostly the same experiences!
do you remember the name of that guy because i kind of like remember the same situation but from the other perspective xD
@@ryuwadokoe Not a clue, but it was on ps5 if that narrows it down for you
@@Wulfjager yes it does. i only played on pc.
I've had similar experiences on HLL and Squad. Love these communities
100% agree with how friendly the community is. My first match someone asked me to be an engineer and I told him I didn’t know how that class works and he told me a ton
You always have assholes in every community, but odds are if you're new and show that you're trying to learn, people will be more than happy to help. It's great!
@@SoulSniperYT Being on Xbox I’ve played this game for just over a year now and I can only remember a few assholes. People willing to teach the new kids instead of getting annoyed is way different on this game after played COD and BF for years. Those games also don’t require as much either so I guess it makes sense.
Also with the way that this game is I feel that it weeds out most of the immature people you see filling COD lobbies
@@SoulSniperYT Yeah I love taking over a squad of new players and then guide them. Most do want to learn the game, and are happy to get advices, and tent to follow your lead!
Yea it's fun!
Yea it's a pretty mature playerbase as a whole
I started playing on friday. Joined as level one and one level 200 dude immidiatly wrote: "You, new dude, come in my squad, we gonna explain you stuff if you like". I love it.
I hope you never have to come across terrible teammates
@@Femboy_Bunny-HLLI did a few times I was asking for supplies a few minutes ago because we needed a garrison we didn’t have one yet they never got the supplies there was like 20 minutes and they did nothing more than that even (all you have to do is spawn on my point then choose support and put it down in a 50m radius of the area I want to put it in it’s not even hard)
@@ewelinastoj4259 I know, but people don't want to give up their roles for fear that they won't be able to return to those roles
@@ewelinastoj4259 I also had two teammates who left their mic on and one kept on saying to the squad "shut up n word" and the other kept on saying "shut up" as he was in the bathroom or something. Idk that second dude sounded like he was on the toilet
Yeah, i spoted today commander which gave my tank for the first time and helped how to use it, when he was also trying to defend our objectives
7th game last night, decided to take on the commander role since no-one else would. Over the course of another 30 minutes, a player called Yuri guided me on how to make the best usage of the Commander abilities. Most welcoming community ever
Very cool! Love hearing these stories!
@SoulSniper Thanks! Honestly a smashing game, only one I can die 30 times and still stay in the game.
I do wish that there were genuine tutorials n such to teach the basics, so far the only way I've learned to be a squad commander is through baptism by fire
I got you brother! I have a tutorial video for every role. Here's commander: ua-cam.com/video/KsMm05CfDb4/v-deo.html
@SoulSniper Cheers mate, it's up on my to-do list
My first and only commander game was the same way. No one would take it, so I tried it. Everyone was patient and understanding. It got overwhelming at times, but was a good time. We ended up winning the game
I just started this game and took a tanker crewman roll in my third game. I debated telling my crewmates that I've never operated a tank before and decided against it. I made a couple minor mistakes and they quickly realized I'm a newbie. They proceeded to teach me and I had one of the coolest gaming experiences ever as we took down 8 tanks and probably around 60 foot soldiers in the first tank.
Sounds like an amazing first game! Good for you dude!
@@TankManHeavy not of the top of my head, one of them friended me I think but I haven't played much since because of work, but I'll check.
Man, I played my first game of squad leader when I was a level 3. I fell in love with the role because of the squad I was with. They were all relatively seasoned players, who helped me and taught me the ins and outs of the game. Truly the best game community I've ever played in. Those guys from my first SL game are still regulars in my squad and it makes the game so enjoyable.
That's so awesome!
As a veteran, we LOVE when noobs ask questions and actually want to learn
Thats me lol, its impressive how kind you guys are, tanks are a lot of fun thanks to you
My first two games I've played so far no one talked
I know I'm quite late to this post but I'm a beginner today I played my first games and I stepped up as office of my friends squad as none of us had any prior experience and our Commander was shouting about getting our engineer to build nodes, I asked a simple question of what kind of node should my engineer build because he asked me also being new and the Commander just went off on me. Luckily 4 other officers of different squads stuck up for me and told the Commander he was in the wrong however this post isn't entirely true as there is still some toxic vets however from my time today I have seen the community is a lovely bunch.
Just adding on a few things:
1) Bushes are your friend (and foe): Bushes, good for hiding, and ambushing people. Always try to be near one, it might save you. (In short.)
2) TRUCKS: I swear to god, please return the trucks if you can once dropping off soldiers. It’s good to place them next to either Garrisons, or back at the HQ. We really don’t need a transport truck taking a tank shell just cause someone left it sitting in the capture point.
I'd like to add to ur list as well. If one is driving a truck. Please don't park in the middle of the road!!! Tanks and other vehicles have to get by too! It's like the world has forgotten all about common sense and consideration.
Don't tell anyone about my bushes! I've sat there while entire teams walk by in the middle of a field. It's crazy how well they conceal
Ever just lay on one of the rocks on Hill 400? Hello kill streak.
Meanwhile I'm prone in tall grass and get shot from hundreds of meters away from someone who somehow knew I was there and alive. Multiple times.
Bushes???? Wtf?
Just played my first 3 matches on your server this morning. Won all 3 matches and was shoved into commander role in the last match. We were down 2-3 in territories on warfare and my squad leaders coached me to where we ended up winning. Needless to say I am instantly hooked to this game.
That's awesome! Way to step up!
@@SoulSniperYT I watched all of your beginner guides and joined your discord before going in but had played a lot of Red Orchestra and Enlisted previously before stepping in. Still need to get used to the whole supplies being near where to build and all but the squad leaders just told me what they needed and helped me figure out certain keys that i didnt understand. It was sick!
How do I join your server if I’m on ps5
As a squad lead with over 200 hours in that role I say this is all solid advice. The biggest advice here though is in fact talk, communicate, even if it’s basic like “hey I see guys at heading 230”. Play your role, learn it, find one that fits and learn how to play it.
Just got the game and didn't really know what I was doing besides running around as a medic wherever the combat was happening, but I managed to get the Desmond Doss achievement and got a lot of "Thanks a lot doc." or "Medic, I can't feel my legs."
I don't know if I was completely useful or not, but I felt a sense of fulfillment and pride being 1 of our 2 medics for the entire team.
It's a fun roll to play especially when people are roll playing and being silly geese.
I love the medic role. Feels great to run through the heat of battle just to save some of your comrades
As a new player it's a great roll to chose, nobody really cares if you can't get to them and are super grateful if you do, you don't take up sometimes invaluable rolls like anti tank before your competent at the game and it can be brilliant fun running through incoming fire, smoke and explosions to save someone.
Had a few great games playing as medic, esp when I first played HLL
This should be an unskippable intro video every time a new player opens the game. Until at least level 50.
Level 50 is a bit much lol. But yea, hopefully this helps new players out!
Yea no way lvl50. I joined the game from Squad and I learned the new mechanics very quickly because they are similar. They just need to implement a good tutorial
Then again, no tutorials gives me plenty of content ideas! ;)
That is how I found your videos. Maybe the devs should just add your playlist in the game
@@skydiverr tell Black Matter! ;)
As a new player, I was surprised at how nice the community was and willingness to explain the role. We had a commander playing his second or third game in that role and a few other squad leaders were giving him point. I prefer medic or engineer but one of my pet peeves is when the squad leader abdicates the role and nobody steps up. One of the things that I do as squad lead is tell my squad is on Warfare, to maintain defense on our objective and let other units attack and then move up once the next objective is taken. I'll also make sure to talk to other squad leads and the commander about getting Garrys up on fall back locations as well as an OP for my squad outside of the Garry. My rule of thumb is to at least have 2-3 sides of cover with garrys and OP's to prevent us getting killed off spawn. On Offensive, I always set up the fall back garry and have an OP near the current objective.
Very sound SL strategy. Defense and garrisons win games! Keep up the good work!
Most heartwarming thing I heard when a bunch of veteran SLs showed a newbie commander the ropes was when one of the guys, after maybe 50 minutes, said in a glorious Scottish accent "Ya know laddie, even if ya still learning, ya don't have to do everything we say. After all, in the end we're just a bunch of wankers stupid enough to go Squad Lead. So bring your ideas, and we'll work it out."
@@agp11001 lol I love Scottish accents! ❤️
@@SoulSniperYT Me too, but every time the Scotsman who's part of our leading guys holds a briefing, I'm wishing for subtitles 😁
Another great video. As you say, new players shouldn't be shy about asking for help. I would only add that if they find themselves in a squad in which the other players aren't talking, or one in which they're not being helpful, move to another squad.
A great suggestion for sure. Also, joining the discord and getting to know the server regulars is a fantastic way to ensure you almost always have a group of people who communicate and have a good time. discord.gg/soulsniper
That's how I met Thomas Cochrane!
I'll chip in on this, having been a new player in games like Battlefield back in the day. There are some people who just aren't overly talkative or... well have vocal issues like myself. When I speak... well it's not a pleasing sound.
Well most people don't like the sound of their own voice. Maybe yours isn't as bad as you think?
I’ve only played a few matches so far and I gotta say, this community is amazing. I’ve had a ton of laughs and even had a squad commander show me some of the ropes on how to be more effective. I’m excited for more for sure!
Awesome, I love the community as well! Glad you're enjoying yourself!
I just started playing a few weeks ago.
I am former 8404 Navy Hospital Corpsman and playing medic is def my vibe. Thank you for this video. Helped me a ton.
Started playing this game on console yesterday, so far the players I’ve played with have been extremely welcoming and helpful. Such a fun game and I can’t wait to learn more.
Great to hear!
I’ve just picked up HLL and man this game is definitely worth it and the community is actually welcoming. I usually always play medic and I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many “thank you” and “i appreciate you” in a single match. I had a guy guide me to take down 2 enemies as I didn’t have visuals on them but were 2 arms lengths away behind a small hill after I managed to take them out without taking any hits I got a “good job, great shots” then he got gunned down. Great vid btw!
I'm a HLL Vetran and I loved the don't create a Squad and abandon the SL position. I'm maxed out in Commander and Squad Leader but not in any of the Squad positions I am constantly getting into match and the SL will abandon early or mud game and nobody wants to step up which leaves me and then half of time nobody wants to listen. "Hey CO said our Squad has defend the last point" and then I got one dude with me waiting at the point and then 4-5 dudes still attacking while getting overran. Idk what's up with new players but the just wanna do their own thing 90% of the time and I contemplate leaving HLL and Squad all together. Great video though
Just tell 'em they have to listen to you, or you'll kick 'em from the squad, it helps a lot and sometimes they will even start to like you. And if they don't listen just really kick 'em from your squad once you have to redeploy, and keep kicking when they rejoin and don't listen.
I was so surprised when I figured out that the community was so friendly and willing to help out new players. Love this community.
The most important thing for new players you have said is "This game has no Team Deathmatch".
If you want kills go play BF or CoD or else. Nobody will be mean to you when you're new or when you can't talk, but never ever just go for kills, it's the only thing we're allergic to.
It's a team game, Teamwork makes the dream work. :)
My contributions to the team usually come from putting up somewhere around 2.5 kills to deaths. If the other team isn’t alive how can they kill my team mates or take objectives? :)
Voice chat on hll is an awesome experience. The banter, the laughs, the strategizing and teamwork, the calls for medic. Its half the reason this game is so awesome.
Yesterday I played for the first time as a tank crewman. I joined two guys and told them I'm new. It was my best game so far. Both were super nice and taught me how to drive thse heavy thing, shoot etc.
I tried this game a while ago and thought it was too much for me at the time. After seeing your sniper gameplay I gave it another go after many years and just kept it simple. Listened to my SL and tried to learn the game abit more. Aside from the game running like trash this is my favourite shooter ever. One game of HLL gives me more joy than an entire COD cycle. I hope this game isn’t dying any time soon.
One of the few problems with the Hell Let Loose game selection is joining a game where every squad is either full or locked. This happens quite a bit. That's why some people create an infantry squad and then change roles. They might not feel comfortable as the company commander; so, they relieve themselves of that role.
You’re attitude towards new players sums up the community perfectly, dope game with dope players. I’m relatively new myself and get advice, tips, basic info and more almost every time I’m on. Love the content. Gonna watch your other stuff now
I've played alot of BF1. BF2 and COD WW2. been away from gaming for a while and just now picked up Hell let loose. I'm very excited to hop on and very motivatd now after your video. Thanks!
How has the journey been? Was it worth it?
I love how cinematic and immersive it is. By its fundamentals, you actually have to move and communicate as an actual soldier in WW2. Not like COD that’s fast paced, or BF where you can just do whatever you want. The best is when your under heavy fire defending on point with your team on local chat. Hearing everyone talk In militaristic terms while bullets are flying past your head, hearing armor chug across the road spitting out smoke and everyone is freaking out. It’s crazy how there’s so many people communicating with each other when they aren’t even in the same squads, but we all have the same objective. Literally feels like your in a movie. Also you genuinely have to try so hard for so long to win. So when you do, it’s so satisfying. You have to earn it.
Agreed! Incredibly cinematic game. They really nailed the Saving Private Ryan feel!
On my second game I created a squad thinking that I can give the officer role to someone else after. I apologized to my squad and they told me "you got this" and guided me thru and we had an amazing game where I popped off and got lots of commendations. Friendliest community of any game I've played.
Idk why were so nice on this game
@@squidy4082 Because there is no reason to be mad. Almost everything can be solved in a friendly way. :D
Except for intentional teamkilling and stuff like that of course.
Because you don’t have to worry about kills, just the objective and working as a team
Downloaded HLL about 8 months ago, played one game and had the worst experience so didn't return. Watched a heap of content and still really wanted to learn to play and enjoy it. Jumped on just over a week ago and ended up as a SL without realising it being a noob and all. I ended up getting the best and most supportive squad who helped teach me what to do and how to play. This completely changed the game and I fell in love. I'm now playing as frequently as I can and am loving the broad style of gameplay as well as being able to play different roles and it just be a run and gun style of game. Thank you for the informative videos they're really well composed and provide such a great amount of info
Never fear about not knowing. Feel free to ask your squad mates they'll always be happy to help!
Also, no matter how much time you have into the game you still always learn things. I have 400 hours into the game and I just found out you can use Q or E to rotate barbwire to fit into tighter spots where you otherwise couldn't place. (works on most things).
And I still blow mind of players even with 1000 hours that you can HOLD Space to vault over objects with greater success vs slapping space trying to get over walls. It works a LOT better if you get into the habit of holding space.
You can use q or e to move any structure.
Also, here’s a tip I’ve taught level 200+ players - for infantry squad leaders only*
You can pick up your outpost the same way you dismantle other things: Hold F. This resets your OP timer, and lets you put it down immediately. Oh you just dropped your OP and then had to kill a dude immediately afterwards who now knows where your OP is? No problem, pick it up and move it.
I wish I had watched this video a few days ago before my first game, I joined quickly and assumed I wouldn't cause any trouble and could stay out of the way by making my own infantry squad. Instant regret, didn't even have my headset on, tied directly to command channels, being asked to do things way beyond my experience level and not making anyone aware I was brandy new. I've actually met a handful of really cool people so far and I'm having fun. I just really have to hone in on finding targets and winning gunfights. Thank you for the videos!
1:20 100% Agree. Everytime i don't know how to do something, even the most angry player starts explaining you very nicely what to do
Awesome little vid to help out ways of getting things done, albeit my first 3 hours of game time were entirely spent as a squad leader, but that time alone, having asked questions that a commander and fellow squad leaders were happy to answer, and prior experience with similar games as squad lead, was enough to get so much satisfaction. Dying a lot less than expected, getting a lot more crucial kills to defend areas and garrisons, learning how to use allied garrisons and OPs to figure out where enemies are located, and then placing garrisons and your own OPs in locations to help push the enemy from multiple directions all come out so well in a game like this
I'm pretty new to the game and most of the time playing as medic or a rifleman. Yesterday I had the best match so far. Two squads were really working together perfectly which was insanely effective. Good cooperation, everyone taking his role seriously and effective communication were the key to our success as far as I can tell. The enemy fought fierce and at times we were vastly outnumbered, but due to the fantastic teamplay we were an unstoppable force. The gaming experience was so good, I had butterflies in my stomach hours later. HLL is a fantastic game if you play with the right people.
I was taught a lot when I was new and the second I knew something new I did not hesitate to give that knowledge on to the next new player.
This continues throughout the whole game which makes the community one of the best.
Great stuff Soul! This should be required viewing for all new players. AND for players that didn't get it the first time around. Or the second. Or third...
Tell that to Black Matter!
Been playing Medic which i'm told is a bit low priority compared to support, good tank crew, officers, ect
But gotta say, almost every rev i do, i'm almost always met with a "Cheers mate, you're a legend" or a simple "Thank you medic"
Wholesome stuff 💙
As a casual gamer this game really does a have a steep learning curve but its well worth the grind to learn the more you know the more fun it is.
For sure. It's addicting as hell!
The community is so awesome tbh. Never played a shooter with this much support
Top tier tip for rookies: never throw a grenade because it will always somehow land in front of a friendly
😂
I can vouche for this. 😅
As someone who constantly has to deal with folks going solo locked tanks.
THANK YOU.
It gets beyond annoying when solo players constantly grab Medium or Heavy Tanks.
Using up fuel and resources; crippling their own team. Then leaving when we run out of supplies.
What i am doing recently as a new player is imitate what the others do.
If they run while croaching i will do the same, if they charge i will charge.
Great tactic.
It’s a good thing to do when new, but sometimes you get lobbies where you will have to initiate the charge or the breaking factor of a stiff defense.
I’ve played countless games where I find myself trying to get a couple people to push up or throw smokes. If you make people feel like they’re going to be doing a big thing they’re more likely to do it,
Can’t remember how many times I’ve helped break a defensive line by getting a few blueberries or squad mates to throw smokes or cover me while I ran to take out a garrison or outpost.
Really good rush of adrenaline when the moments after the take down you see your troops start to move into the gap you’ve just helped to create.
Edit: spelling
I had another streamer mention your server for hell let loose. not an easy one to get into, but still trying. he said it is a good one and he plays on it often. i just started back with it and am having to relearn everything. so this video helped. look forward to seeing you and everyone else out there.!!
When defensive garrisons are not getting built, I go solo SL with a locked squad and then I'll just play the match solo and check the map for supply drops and help the commander build garrisons.
I'd say that's an exception to the rule and a noble cause sir
It's a good job to do. As a Recon main, I generally tell the Commander to treat me like a "Recon light" and play accordingly.
You could ask for someone to join you to play support and help place garrisons.
Well open that squad and I’ll drop the supplycrate. I hate getting rolled-up by enemy team after everyone leaves the last obj in warfare games. 😊
@@johnnottahcal5725 Man I could've needed you today. I think other than our squad's garries, we've seen like 8 garrisons in 10 games.
I never intended to be squad leader, but I had to start to take it for two reasons: 1. nobody else wanted it; 2. the one who took never said a word.
In my experience, a properly communicating team has a great advantage over a team that is not communicating, or not coordinating. Get a mic, and don't be shy to use it.
I found the players really helpful if you tell them that you're new. I usually ask the squad to commend low levels; the better loadout the team has, the better chance we stand. Never act like a dork who just came from CSGO and brags about knowing everything. I'm over 40 and my reflexes aren't the best anymore, but I found absolutely great in this game that you can be useful and gain a ton of XP in some roles even without firing a single shot.
I appreciate the video and effort in trying to help newcomers. I been watching several videos on this game and been on the fence on getting it since I don't have buddies that play it. But it's nice to see people are chill with new comers. I love games like this that take thinking and strategy unlike COD. Coming from battlefield and I think this will be a huge treat to own. I'll be getting it tonight. Super excited
Nice! I think you'll love it! And feel free to join my discord server. You'll meet awesome people and make friends too squad up with in no time!
@@SoulSniperYT I'll make sure to join, fortunately I have my buddy that will join me, but we are both new. Perfect and thanks for the invite, we both play on PC so this will be super fun!
Well someone if we're both on I will squad up with you and help you guys out!
I got this game on epic games. and also thank you for this video now i am armed to knowledge to play this game!
Great video! One thing I'm not 100% on boat with - recommending newbies rifleman class. There are multiple classes that do the same thing + more. But I get that newbie locking AT or engi could be worrying at times. Best thing is to ask squad what they need. Support players are angels
Great video souls! I think I should give this a game another chance. I was so lost but at least I know what not to do now and should watch a class guide!
Yea man give it another chance! Watch the videos in my General Guides playlist, and then pick a role and watch my corresponding role guide and I think you'll have a great time. Especially if you play on my server (if you're on PC) and join the discord to meet some of the really cool people who play regularly.
Definitely give it a try. It's not too complicated once you get the basics down.
The best tip, when you’re new, is to find talking squads. Silence is misery in this game.
Enter a game, select a random squad, say ‘hello’. If no response, exit until someone responds. If the whole lobby is bad, exit the lobby and try again.
Eventually you will have a repertoire of friends who will join you in every game and you won’t have that problem.
Definitely give it another chance, it's worth it. It can be pretty frustrating at times (mainly when your team sucks) but when you have a good team and squad it's amazing. Definitely my favorite FPS I have ever played.
Sound advice, though I still have fun when my squad is silent, but it's always better when they communicate!
That’s 100% true man the community for this game is so refreshing, had some guys take a whole game to teach me how to play in the tank, we ended up tearing the enemy team up by the end of it
As a player in WOR I’ve considered getting this game. Looks kinda similar in some ways being a more realistic combat experience than your more arcade type shooters.
Do it! It's an incredible game!
Great info! I just started playing and wish I had watched this before my first game (as well as the Rifleman guide). Luckily I ended up with a SL who did a great job of explaining that the game is really all about access to the front, garries and OPs and... just generally the squad was supportive and cool. Thanks for all your guides, SS!
Glad I could help!
only started the game today, gonna check out the engineer video after this, met some really cool guys that i formed up tank crews with and we did pretty well, i was really proud of myself cuz i spotted a T-34 for my team and we actually managed to kill it lol, loving the game so far thanks for the tips!
So many epic moments ahead for you my friend! Welcome!
It’s true. I went from barely knowing what was going on to actually being a contributing member of squads by binging these videos. And the server is a cut above many others. Thank you!
Very kind words, thank you!
Honestly, despite this game being sort of a dying simulator for me, it is definitely good, the folks communicate and are generally nice, well, most of the time. But i do gotta shoutout that guy who taught me how to drive the tank in this game, he was really patient with me, and later on in that same match, we rolled for a 50 killstreak in a Panzer IV, honestly the most fun match i've had on this game as a new player
The community is pretty awesome!
This is probably one of the only game I'd consider myself a vet in. And I am always happy to help new players learn the ropes
The Views After its free 📈📈📈
Toxic players after it's free 🚀📈
Just bought HLL today. Super excited to try it tomorrow. Also - your voice is perfect for tutorials. You should be on Discovery or PBS.
Discover, PBS - give me call!
Honestly one of the best things in this game is being in a well communicated armor crew in a recon tank with a well communicated commander and officers.
Thanks for this. It will help ease the learning curve when the time comes. Your vids are definite info gold for us new recruits. Thanks
“Chill and welcoming community” definitely not in my experience. I just get yelled at 90% of the time by teenagers or rotc nerds.
My friend and I grabbed recon and went behind enemy lines. We together racked up around 40 kills. And the entire time we had a commander on the verge of tears in game chat because of it. I assume because we weren’t playing objective or doing more with the recon than others might have.
At the end of the day it’s a game and is for for fun, and we had fun. People take it a little too seriously in my experience.
You do get those types who take it way too seriously at times. But I still think compared to other online gaming communities I've experienced, the HLL community is the most inviting and overall chill.
never played any other class than medic, reviving everybody i see
0:57 that is a massive LIE! I cant even play the game because servers kick me for not having a high enough lvl + IF i get to join a server, everysquad that isnt even full is locked so I cant join them to "learn"... wtf is this elitism?
How can one's own opinion and experience be a lie? How many hours do you have in the game?
Everybody is lying but ur version is the only truth?
@dreddd7980 wdym everybody? I said that that take was a lie, I said that to nobody else what is this strawman??
@dreddd7980 correct. His bad experience is the only outcome.
The friendliness and general lack of toxicity really stunned me when I started playing. It feels like a fps for grownups.
got game for free from epic havent heard anyone talk
Thats just EU servers
Games broken anyway, can't even get past the loading screen
@@TrainSimEnjoyer thats just ur pc
@xsnike123 nope, I'm not the only one having this issue and I have handled games more demanding than hell let loose
I was new to the game a few weeks ago and I had spawned in as a tank commander. A nice fellow joined me and helped me learn the basics. He was super friendly and helpful and it was a great experience.
If i paid 65 dollars for a game i will play it how ever i want...i hate when people tell someone they dont even know how to play a game...let people do what they want with a game they paid for
I agree mostly but you still need to abide by the general manners of the playerbase. You can't get a ticket to Disney land and just start lighting up squares there
Today is my 1st day playing, had a few games as rifle men then became squad leader unintentionally but my squad and commander was so nice and talked me through it all
Glad to hear that! That's great!
It was like that. Until they put it on game pass. I'm a game pass player. But I'm a Hell Let Lose kinda guy. Game pass players typically run around like morons, attacking the objective with 40 guys. While the rest are actually trying to play strategically.
Personally, I asked a lot of questions and listened to a lot of videos because I realized pretty quickly. I wasn't playing some battlefield game.
Good video. Planning on picking this game up within a week or two. Looking forward to catching up on your past HLL videos
Thanks man! The game is awesome, hope you enjoy it!
@@SoulSniperYT Same, you convinced me. End of the month i will buy the game! ... and a headset!!
It’s a game dawg 💀
This kid is so dumb, if you played the game for tap seconds you would know how mad you would be if you lost a game that took over 2 hours.
HLL community is the funniest out there, I love hearing people role-playing and say lines from famous movies
As a new player I can only hope to find people like you in my lobbies! Very helpful and I will definitely check out your other videos!
When I started the game I knew I probably shouldn't take squad leader but there was no squad left to join so I became the squad leader, thankfully there was a guy helping me how and what to do and I was able to somehow manage it through
It's certainly possible if you're willing to listen and try to learn. It's a great way to learn the game and that role.
Just started playing through Game Pass. I am hooked! It’s so immersive. A lil complicated but not too much. Best advice that was given to me was “If you can’t take the time to read the field manual, then this game probably isn’t for you.
My first match my team taught me how to be a squad leader. How to place things, switch chats and how to callout for the game. It was a rough game but I learned a ton and now I have the chance to help out any new guy I come across
Man a few times I told my team I have no clue what to do with this... Then got overwhelmed with help. This is awesome!
I haven't had this game for a week yet but I have already got a good hang of it. Not even two days ago I was playing as my squads officer and realized that we had no commander. Me being only a level seventeen realized I couldn't become the commander. I just gave orders to all the other officers until we eventually lost the map. Hell. This game has pretty much become my main UA-cam uploads at this point.
I also think it was like my second or fourth match in which I created the squad and realized oh I’m squad leader, and some people that already join my squad at that point so I asked one of them if they could take the officer role from me because I was new and this one guy said leave squad rejoin. I’ll take officer a roll. He was also nice to me.
I agree with this being the chillest community. I've been so used to rainbow six and league so having help from nearby players was so amazing. I highly recommend this game, tons of gameplay options that all directly help the team. Surprised I haven't seen more hacking in HLL as well, I think after 200 hours, only seen 1 blatant cheater.
I actually picked up hell let loose a few days ago and it is a total breath of fresh air for someone who has bern playing COD for years at this point. Ive even played a few good games as an officer, even tho automatic riflemen is my best class.
I played for the first time last night and did many of the things on this list (apart from the truck one, I saw someone do it and everyone shouted 🤣) I'm going to proceed to watch all your videos and learn the game, thank you for uploading!
Yeah, it's actually kinda bizarre how nice and patient the majority of the community is. I'm not used to it XD. A memory that stands out for me was the officer in the random squad I joined asked me to be support. I told him I wasn't COMPLETELY clueless but still didn't know much and he answered EVERY question I had, gave me advice, and then at the end of the game, he got on the squad VC and said "guys, please, everybody make sure to commend Penguin (me). Let's get him leveled up.". Not only that but the next match, we see each other again (now in different squads) and it was like a real life reunion, we were so happy to see each other again. He takes me all the way back to HQ and teaches me how to best farm xp, as an engineer. I just thought "Dude... why is he so nice? Isn't he supposed to TK me for being new and then harass me to uninstall the game, like in every other game I play?"
As somebody who never did any shooters like this, the comunity is THE best. Like, join a squad, ask "hey, what do i do? What role should i play?" and you get a quick quide, tips and tricks and directions within 30 seconds of asking.
Just got this game for free and hyped up to learn every mechanism and thing I should know to not getting killed instantly
Just got the game this week and every match I have been in my squad has helped so much. This is the best game out there.
Obviously there are some turds here and there, but overall it's a really great community. Being in a good squad in a good match, this game is hard to beat!
I`ve squad-baited a few times when I first started.😳
I would usually only do it if I waited for a minute or two and there were still no unlocked squads.
I mostly did it because I was new and was aware that Squad Leaders are usually best for more experienced players and didn`t want to get yelled at for playing a SL at level 1-10.
Luckily, I learned the game fast and have even volunteered to be SL a few times after our initial one left.
i wish i coulda seen this channel and video at the beginning of the year when i first started. woulda saved me a lot of trouble
blud thougth he was slick putting in the discord notification sound
You're a lot easier to spot when moving around. I find sticking close to a wall and laying on the ground is a good position. Lay next to a wall that runs perpendicular to the wall the enemy is hiding behind. Don't run or crouch move to the position, you crawl on the ground and through any available vegetation. You can get close enough that when they pop their heads up to shoot, you can pop them at close range and get a lot of them before they figure you out.
Yeah sometimes it works so well. More experienced playere will figure it out fast after you shoot your weapon couple of times.
I'm going to DL this today and watch your begginer videos so I have a heads-up on what to do in the game before I play it. Thanks for the videos.
Hope you enjoy it!
Just got the game and I'm super intimidated to play. Your videos help out a ton!
It'll be fine man, you'll love it!
Right now like 50% of the players got the game around 2 weeks ago. Don't worry about it too much.
I was playing medic early on and someone called me a hero for all the revives I accomplished it was really nice to hear starting out.
Medics earn a lot of respect in the community because their class is one that sacrifices firepower for a unique ability to save your teammates. When you’ve got a medic who tries his best to revive (and patch up!) any of his fallen comrades instead of looking for kills, you have a team that lasts a lot longer in the fight, and a team that isn’t upset with having to redeploy every time they’re shot. Guys like you make the playing experience just as much as good Commanders and Officers, so keep up the good work bro :)
“It’s the most chill player base” 99% agree, although I did accidentally leave one guy behind while driving the truck and was basically hunted down for the rest of the game for that, still pretty fun/funny so I didn’t mind
A few days ago I decided to take the officer role in my squad for the first time after the first guy’s game crashed. My squad guided me through and the commander happily gave me orders to flank and hold the area where he was dropping supplies to build a garrison. The community is really a friendly and funny when in the proxy chat.
Played this game for the first time yesterday and I’ve never been so happy with how welcoming players are and understand that new players won’t know everything
Glad you called out that people just need to ask. We're all happy to explain things if you just ask.. theres a lot to learn and weve all been there. NOT talking is the real crime lol
I showed a lvl 3 medic how to survive in his 2nd match, it was awesome to kind of tutor a new player in all the chaos lmao. If there are a few things I would recommend, it's to prioritize staying alive and communicating always and accurately. People shouldn't be spawning in and there's an engagement and not know about it until it's too late or not know which direction the enemy is, reloading and when you're moving, etc. Everyone benefits from this, the squad stays alive longer and is so much more effective that it literally changes the game.
I joined a recon squad last night and finally finished my first ever game. The guy was awesome and led me though what I did yo do as his spotter. It was amazing and great. If it wasn’t for him I probably would have quit. It was a bit rough but he was still supportive and we ended up wrapping the spawn to take out artillery and we came back and won once it was taken out. Supportive players are amazing!
I just got a Series X and plan to get Hell Let Loose in the next day or two. Just subscribed and plan on watching your tutorials next!
Sweet, I hope you enjoy it!
