Let's Talk About The New Hell Let Loose Update 

Squad 44 not only has like half the developers. But they all have full time normal jobs too. Squad 44 is what they do with their free time

All we want on console is a god damn server browser

Their "appology post" is almost identical to their last "appology post"... proving they have learnt nothing and STILL keep making the same mistakes repeatedly!!

The new UI is shite... I don't want to see what uniform to put on. I would like to be able to pick a weapon and class I need quickly with the least amount of clicks, Not have to scroll through a janky menu to get what i need.

Team17 didn't buy HLL to make a good game better. They bought it to make money, and the price they paid was ABSURD. Their #1 priority, as a company, is to now make all those millions back, as soon as possible, so they can actually start generating a profit from HLL. If that day ever comes for them, it won't be because they invested time and money making HLL the best game it can be. It will be by exploiting whatever dwindling fan base is left. Whole thing is sad.

I've been playing HLL on console from release day and lately its only getting worse and worse. I hate Team 17 for what they are doing to this game. Not sure how many more of these so called updates I can take.

RIP james light who was an important part of HLL from the start who went from production assistant to producer for pc side,he was known for his in depth knowledge of the game and ability to see any bugs in game and make people aware what needed fixed ,shame we dont have such insight now ! ,he sadly passed aged 28 😢

The medal of honor music in the background gives me nostalgia vibes

as a day one squad 44 enjoyer and player there is no better time to get into the game. I would play when there was only one server open in the UK and play from the us when the player count was so low. but now there are 10+ servers full at your avg peak times which is awesome to see. if you are thinking about playing I fully encourage it. the game has gone through some solid changes and updates that added new guns, vehicles, factions, etc. the factions are about the same but one thing I like is they are one of the only games to offer the early ww2 French warfare along with the different weapons that Germany used as well. they also offer some Greece island maps with the German paratroopers. and there is conformation of a pacific theatre update with Japanese factions and US marines with iwo jima being the first confirmed map. there is a lot of unique gameplay and stuff to look forward to in the future. but the best part is its being worked on by a passionate modding community that was making amazing, solid content for the game before they were employed by offworld. I feel like squad 44 has a solid future ahead and people should def hop on that band wagon.

AlpineSnipsr summed it up best in that T17 doesn't really know what they want or at least they don't know how to deal with HLL and thus we are stuck with a game that won't surpass its current state.

Brilliantly done mate, loved seeing you properly. 😊

I work in QA field, and an update like that would've failed testing before being released to the public honestly.

at this point, everyone who had been invested with HLL and is just fed up with how shitty t17 has managed the game should give squad44 a serious consideration. don't listen to any of those outdated "it's a dead game" comments, that's just not true anymore. it's a darn good game and it is getting better with every passing day with more and more people playing it.

That allied assault music is beautiful

With the run and gun mentality now thoroughly rewarded it's no longer the game I fell in love with... bye bye HLL, hello Squad 44.

Can’t wait for the video you’re working on about T17

holy shit nice video and great points, can not wait for the T17 documentary from u :D quick question when did u get offerd the war correspondend position ? or did u apply ?

I have not been playing but this is not the first negative video I have seen. Players are saying they are quitting and I understand why when developers make changes that nobody wants. Unfortunately there is a insane cult destroying Western and European games. It all started picking up steam just before 2019 company's destroying the gaming industry that looks to be part of a bigger plan.

Subbed after hearing MOH allied assault soundtrack 👍🏼

damn, medal of honor ost at the start of the video hit me with nostalgia like crazy

Post scriptum is such a better game too

Red Devils DLC is only on Driel not because it is map-specific DLC but because it is only map for British faction... El Alamein has different faction of Brits, furthermore having iconic british paratrooper uniforms on El Alamein would be a f****** disgrace... Whole backlash about this new update is primarily because of Mortain DLC.... The only good way to implement further DLCs is to give us an option to edit how our and enemy factions look PER map, every other thing is just wrong... Stop with white uniforms on summer maps! Stop with non-airborne uniforms on airborne maps and vice versa!!!

Terry telling it like it is. I've always liked your no nonsense honesty. It hurts to see a game I loved so much just disintegrate like this. Let's hope they watch and somehow listen.

Glad I stuck with Squad44, that's going from strength to strength. HLL is diving harder than a Stuka and it isn't pulling back up.

My lord has finally showed his face! Keep up the amazing work bro

Dude I'm having a 15-25 second stutter were the game just freezes then back to normal like nothing happened. I know it not my hardware, and it's starting happening after this new patch

Man. I haven't played in awhile. I need to get back in there.

Not sure how many are familiar with the flight sims. But This sounds a lot like eagle dynamics and the handling of DCS not just recently but it’s becoming more apparent as of late.

Can't even get the game to start on pc, gets to the menu and won't connect to server been like this for weeks for me. Was hoping the update would fix this for me but didnt

As soon as you see paid DLC’s in a game you know it’s become all about the money. How many devs did black matter have & they did a great job.

What is that background music? It sound like Medal of honor airborne, i recognised it instantly

Wholeheartedly agree.

Nothings changed with HLL in years with how they handle updates. Every one has always had major issues which takes a week to acknowledge then a further month to fix. Very early on the console release there was a bug with spawns locking took almost a month to fix and it basically was game breaking. I stopped playing last year because I could see where it was going and nothing was going to change. Your comparison with Squad44 was perfect, heck even normal Squad with OWI is similar and I fully expect Team17 to say the problem with updates is because of console and getting them approved (which only takes days if that last I heard).

Nice one Terry - the truth hurts.... You are absolutely bang on with all this. Oh and nice to see you 'in person' ;-)

Just stop playing. That's it, They won't respect or listen. go to squad 44 and make them care by making competition. HLL has had the WW2 shooter space for too long and they've gotten lazy.

Every map should use the El Alamein sub faction system and then revolve the dlc around those subfactions. Plus - it would be utterly stupid to have British paratroopers on El Alamein, I’m sick of every map being a hodgepodge of uniforms

My ps5 never crashed level 30 now

Thanks for the cojones to express the issues. I couldn't have VOIP and sound 2 nights ago. So I turned off VOIP to be able to hear bullets and sound FX. This is a major bug for a co-op game

Is it just me or is the game bugged since update? i have 30 fps and my shots arent connecting...i see blood when i hit the enemy but i dont deal dmg. my internet and pc are solid and i have these problems since the update. you got it too?

Ayooooooo medal of honor background music love it. I dont know the name of the actual song just where i heard it bring back memories i miss those days

Iconic soundtrack choice man

Two new maps a year simply isn't good enough and their obsession with the US vs GER hasn't helped with keeping the game fresh either.

I finally got fed up with HLL a few months ago (been on it since early access), the lack of comms, the run and gunner hordes, the CHEATING, the awful updates, the APPALLING MG mounting (are they EVER going to fix that?) - went to Squad 44 and haven't looked back - The playerbase is growing and of a better quality and whilst it's not perfect, it really feels like it's moving forward very positively. It also looks soooo much better after the graphics overhaul. Give Squad 44 a go - I think you'll be impressed. I think it's on sale at the moment too....

It difficult for the ones who have been along the ride for the past year, I myself discovered this game just few months ago and fell in love with it. But in past few weeks especially with 15.1 UD the crashes render ect an don't get me started on the UI menu 😮 T17 needs to pull it together or relinquish it to a studio who will do it justice

The crashing and lagging on console is crazy, I’ll try and throw a frag and I have to do it twice before it actually throws which has gotten me killed before. The crashing literally makes me get off the game I’ll be an hour into the game trying to finish out to level up a role and it’ll freeze out of no where and I lose all my progress.

Preach brother 💯

I do notice the difference between good game management and poor these days. Your right good management listens to the player base and acts on it. CTA Gates of hell is another example of a well managed game addressing the player issues as well as providing a road map you can see being fulfilled. Whereas the similar niche game company to them doesn't seem to accommodate the dominant player issues much like 17. It is unbelievable to see players voice the potential, hope and dreams of how good a game could be go unanswered.

In short, the load up select screen/menu has to change. With this menu I can't do a quick load up change if the desired spawn point has less than 10sec to spawn in. So then you're ended up with either spawning in with the same load out or wait 20-40sec to spawn in with the new load out. It's like these guys are checking on this game once every blue moon & just comes up with whatever comes up in their mind to quickly push out an "update" just for the sake of having to release an update.

It’s been rough since the start you bring up a lot of valid points and they release a lot of buyable DLC skins still haven’t fixed the random uniform uninstall bug that resets the whole barracks set up the new UI update just makes the process longer …

Console issue for tabks and artillery. Major lag when trying to switch seats on artillery and have to keep smashing the reload shell button bc it won't reload the shell for some reason takes about 2-3 seconds instead where it was instantaneous. Same with reloading tank shells have to keep hitting the button for the shell to finally reload and in tank battles where seconds count its ruining the experience

The whole game was developed by 15 people or less. They also produced amazing trailers. This team seems amateur. Their trailers are worse than the games graphics. I have gameplay videos that look amazing.

I worked for a company that designed and sold machine shop equipment had a $750m annual revenue and only had a hardware R&D team of 50 people. Of those, the number that were assigned to continuous improvement was less than 5. The rest were assigned to new product development. I'm guessing there are more designers assigned to developing the DLC uniforms than map fixes. I'm guessing the budget for HLL's continuous improvement team is about 6 guys.

Respect bro 🌴 4:38

How to recognize a man of culture: *Puts Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30 ost on his video and makes me return with my mind at when I was a child.*

With you on that all. Watched Twitchers also unhappy with 15.1

Newest HLL update got me to buy Squad 44, even though it's quite rough I already like it much more

So we are not surprised.. I will say I played hill yesterday after months off. The game looks clean AF. On console. But the same old shit.

The annoying swiping/clicking sounds whenever you move the cursor in a menu was the last straw for me 😅 That drove me up the wall. I think I'm done wih this game and it feel strangely liberating.

So we don't like the current update ... well I was going to write a long and detailed reply, but honestly they are screwing this up and I'm pretty fed up with it.

This game started looking really up a year ago, at least looked like they were finally taking it into a better direction. Now look at it.

0:20 MoH Allied Assault Theme

welp, guess im going back to Squad 44

To this day their best decision was upgrading the step height

Spot on my man

Love to be in one of the Dev meetings and how they are interacting on concerns by the community... since the buy out there seems to be a different attitude towards quality.

I want them to make a decent accurate Arnhem map for my red devils dlc too

I thought they’d have a pacific sector expansion by now

Totally agree with this video, I have stopped playing HLL because of all the issues and performance problems

Medal of Honor music ooyeee

I think the Problem is the Performance of the Engine and monetization. HLL is the Only Game i ever experienced horrible Anti Aliasing (even the Community one) and i keep still hanging on the little things like wooden sticks i broken Houses. And that is the Main problem what i have with the Game.

The console version is very high quality on my Xbox series X. I have yet to experience the update though.

A deja vu apology from t17

Well said fair play. Personally ive moved onto squad 44, i will play both but hll is just stale for a long time now for me.

the Xbox version used to be stable-ish, but since T17 took over, it's almost unplayable. tried playing recently with a group of 4, and throughout 2 matches, we had 8 crashes between us. it's absolutely obnoxious.

I think you're actually being generous, but I'm on PS5. I have just made the decision to stop HLL after 1500 hours put into the game. Poor QC, lack of any responsiveness from T17, issues with performance and hit reg getting somehow worse and too much f**king fog/night maps masquerading as 'innovation'. I can't wait to see how they screw up the console server browser. And of course the new, unasked for, UI changes are a nightmare on console.

I have had epic games on the ps5. I’m new and casual fan just hit level 40 and I’ve never played engineer but I have had insanely good games on console.

Another HLL RU-vidr said something that made me realise something: we might be playing peek HLL and the game will never get better or grow bigger, that's just it

well said

As a console player, I am in a state rn

5:03 why does every milsim suffer from that problem

I play on PS5, and I’ve never once had a single crash in 2 years +, yeah the performance can get bad on the dense urban maps, but I’m really here for the immersive, cinematic experience. It’s not COD, I don’t care about the sweaty fragging. Please just leave it as it was. Add stuff, by all means, but please don’t start messing around with it

HLL better come out with a new game mode like cspture the flag/ domination.

Had a few weeks off from the game due to burnout. I’m Actually dreading loading up the game now

Just play Squad 44 😅😅

Haven't played in months, decided to jump back on yesterday. Wtf has happened to the UI, who thought it was a good idea ?

The latest few Black Matter's HLL dev years we bad. But it was nothing compared to what Team17 has been doing. They break literally everything they touch and are not fixing most of it.

I used to play everyday once blackmatter sold it I walked away to tarkov

Love this game hate the fact can’t play more then 2 games in without crashing

Love the game but for each update it runs a little bit poorer (PS5), it's a shame.

Can we just get Jimmy Patterson/Allied Assault back?

I hate it get worse by every update bit there is just no real alternative! So i will stick on and hope it will turn soon

Remember when this game was out shining COD as the next big shooter. T17 let this game fall flat on its face since day 1. Just give back control to Black Matter and hopefully after some serious course correction we can have a good game some day in the future.

Holy shit you look alot different that what i imagined you😮

They’ve removed the uniform dlc from consoles, so even if you’ve bought it, it’s gone.

To be fair I think getting Sony and Xbox involved would delay fix but yeah clearly no qc took place which is shocking.

Could it be that the HLL code is so scattered and broken to its core it’s so overly complicated to make simple changes? So the hopes of constancy for what we want with HLL will never realistically happen.

Nice

Id appreciate a bad RU-vidr apology over the canned soulless corporate apology that sounds like it's written by AI

Terry where are you from?

STILL WAITING FOR THE DLC WHERE MY MAGS/CLIPS COME WITH BULLETS AND NOT BLANKS DURRRRRRR
