If D-Day had failed, it would have meant heavy Allied loss of manpower, weaponry, and equipment. The Allied forces would need years more of grueling planning and hard work to launch another invasion like the one at Normandy. In particular, the British would have had to cover a high cost, and even the eastern front and the soviets going full bulldozer there would be a chance of much of europe turning completely red.
So I just want to say here that I love the sound design of Hell Let Loose. The explosives actually freaked me out at first, because when I was in Iraq mortar shelling was pretty common. The artillery sounds amazing, and it’s always hilarious just walking around before everything suddenly goes quiet and you see “Killed In Action” out of nowhere.
Bro, I was wearing headphones and literally thought my coffee table was shaking in the middle of my living room the first time I played but it was all in my head.
The key is to play it more like a stealth game than a typical twitchy FPS. Sneak around and don't be seen, then go for the good kills. Patience wins in HLL.
I just downoaded this game and after 5 games of playing i have learned to avoid open spaces and move silently. It takes patience but damn it is fun to spray 5 enemies with mp40 without them even knowing who killed them
Rules of thumb when traversing maps: The terrain, bushes, grass, rubble, and blown out buildings are your second most important team mates. Use these allies to find any and all ways you can think of to flank positions. Moving straight ahead is the cone of death in almost all instances. Think it’s hard spotting enemies? Well the good news is you are just as hard to see for them as well so use this to your advantage! I can’t stress this enough! I’m not even exaggerating. I’ve had entire groups walk right by me as I was laying prone in a dense bush mere feet away from them. Watched boots go right by my face and not a soul noticed me! In addition, making noise in this game can be your undoing. Players can hear each other. Foot steps. Water splashing. All of it. Mask your noise by doing things when shells and explosions are going off when your stealthing. Good news is, your can hear them as well. Stopping to listen to what’s going on is just as important as what you can see. Next: Don’t be afraid to put in a slow lengthy hike. I have in some instances traversed way off the beaten path away from the action and spent 10 to 15 minutes just getting to the enemy lines and then spend another 10 trying to get through to strike blind spots. It’s a tedious endeavor inching your way at a painfully slow pace. Sometimes doing a prone crawl through entire sections the whole way. It’s a time consuming gamble, cause if you get blasted you just wasted almost 30 minutes… but it has paid off more often than not when the patience, tactics and calculated decisions all come together. Tip: Planting outposts and garrisons behind enemy lines is a good idea if you are on Recon and playing as a spotter. This helps out the team and yourself as a sneaky respawn point. Lastly: When you think it’s safe to stand and sprint…crouch run instead. When you think it’s safe to crouch run…go prone and crawl…when you think it’s safe to crawl…don’t move an inch! This line of thinking keeps you from rushing into the enemies crosshairs even though it seems counter intuitive. Wean yourself off the urge to rush every aspect of the action like most shooters would have you do! But this is my supplemental tutorial and things I’d wish I’d known going in! Hope you’ve enjoyed my TED Talk. Thank you and good night!
Brutal learning curve in this game but one of the most rewarding games when you crack it. Found everyone on mic to be so much fun, never take it hyper serious but yet still communicate to aid the gameplay.
You can be serious and still have fun. The most fun I have had personally is those rare occasions when the whole squad is being serious with call outs and coronation. The game is a fucking blast when that happens, even if you are getting your ass kicked and losing the match. I love how most people immediately start to RP when the medic comes by. And most people are very helpful and pointing out what you should be doing if you speak up and mention you are new.
I love big war games like these but I spent my first 2 hours just running and dying from enemies I didn't even know existed but the community is actually really chill which was unexpected. All my games there was people willing to answer my questions and give me tips on how to play and when I accidentally killed someone they just confirmed it was an accident and went "oh alright, you're all good"
Good vid, tho as one who have a good amount of +100h in the game here is some important pointers: - Set your max view of friendly nameplates to max, but do be aware that friendly tanks nameplates spawns in at a waaaay closer distance, always consult your map when spotting a tank. - Please do as your SL (Squad Leader) tells you. You will get to shoot at people, but this is a 100 man co-op game and sometimes you'll need to be on the defensive. - You can redeploy by pressing the ESC key and select it in the menus to the bottom left, it will sometimes be relevant. - Spawing at outpost is almost always better than spawig at a HQ as HQ spawns drains manpower from the General's resources, again you make your commander love you. - When in doubt, frag out. If you have any suspicion that an enemy is hiding in a foxhole, bush, behind a wall, just frag out, it saves a lot of (your own) deaths.
@@michaelweems679 makes it more rewarding so not a bad thing like when I get a double kill I’m happy but In cod I could get like 80 kills but it’s nothing 😂
Hell let loose is fantastic and your vids are awesome too! Lots of communication required and frankly it's fun where you don't need to focus solely on kills to win. My main criticism though is how it doesn't have the Winfield centennial, speaking of which, hope that videos going good! But in any case I highly recommend hell let loose just to have a refreshing change in war games!
100% I think it is so good in it's design. No kill feed, and no K/D on just the "TAB". And there is is just so many games where you can go 4/10 in KD, but they are so much fun.
I played this game for 8 hrs when i first got it today. played rifleman, died every 2 mins for an hour and a half. new map comes. i try medic, do pretty well, throw my body into deaths arms just to revive someone, keep playing medic, revive every single person im atleast 80m in distance from, screaming at the top of my lungs "dont hold F im coming!!!" keep getting compliments from squadmates and random teamates "your a real one homie your doing gods work" "yes yes yes thank you" "medic coming in clutch" REDDIT KARMA +10,000. im not good at this game at all but until i figure out wtf im doing im just gonna run around reviving the people that do even if it kills me Edit: to anyone who took the reddit thing as a serious sentence rather than an ironic one, eat shit.
Facts, I just bought this game last night, played till 3Am and i think i killed 4 people in those long timed matches. Im getting used to it the game mechanics of it. And kinda annoying crossing the whole map to get to a house or get to the squad, then POP! dead.. from some distant enemy. BUT somehow i keep playing, so there is some reason i stick with it. Plus, the SOUNDS OF WAR ARE AWSOME in this game. When you think your out of sight and here a "Sssssip" fly past your head, better change position.
I downloaded this game a couple of weeks ago, played it twice at the time and quit cause I was really frustrated. I then watched your videos and applied a much calmer, slow approach to the game and really thought out and planned my movements. Starting to pick out enemy supply drops, locating spawn beacons and such is my jam now
Just got this game yesterday, love the challenge, first 30 minutes didn't see a single enemy and was getting killed from left to right, end up killing 2 and die 30 times 😅.. By the 3rd game got a little bit better thanks to my team mates, killed 9 enemies and died 26 times.
I've been playing for a little while but this has been very helpful. The monotonous voice you have actually goes well with the sense of humor you applied to this video btw
Ah Hell Let Loose, what fun there is to be had. On offense I once got a 95 kill streak as the offense in a medium tank, so the commander gave us a heavy when we were finally taken out. We lost that heavy tank to a ditch shortly afterwards.
Just gave the game my first try under the impression it was just battlefield, which i never really tried, but heck "it's basically cod right?". Long story short I found out the hard way that you can't just shoot a machine gun and starting a squad is actually some sort of responsibility (people got really mad at me for that one).
playing the free weekend, had one of the most amazing matches where me and a friend were recon. our team had pushed to the 4th capture point while we were slowly working our way at the edges. by the time we got to the point our team got pushed to our 2nd capture point, so we slowly worked our way back to our team, picking off whatever outposts we could until we actually met up the frontline, demolished the enemy on point and made a concerted push. never felt so badass to be able to completely turn around a hopeless situation with just 2 people after a solid 10 minutes of just hopelessly trecking back
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
I have over 1k hours on this game and let me tell you, this video was perfect for new players. I’ve played fps games my whole life since I’m an ‘06 baby, and this really does explain the first 10-20 hours of this game really well. HLL is not for the feint of heart, and you will NOT be able to run and gun like typical FPS games and expect good results. Playing this PTSD sim like if you were actually there not only increases survival (because human survival instincts are a darn special thing) but also increases enjoyment. The ending summer tho up perfectly; you will die. a lot.
I really want to like this game. But honestly, I just get killed from places I have no idea where from, never see the enemy, and when I do, it’s too late to do anything before I’m dead.
If you are always getting killed before it’s too late, you are probably playing like it’s COD and need to slow. The fuck. Down. Remember, these games go in for 1+ hours. There is no need to be on point right now. Run, walk, stop, observe. If you have a squad, try to make sure one person is always observing while others move. Being able to hold a defensive position with your squad as well can literally turn the tides of a game.
@@captainhellhound7451 yeah I’ve been playing for 2 months now. Love the game, consistently get 30+ kills per game playing as Anti Tank. Defo not going back to COD.
with more than 900 hours on this game, I watched it until the last tip. and I felt all those deaths at the end keep it up man, your videos are so cool!
I Clicked on the first video i found when searching hell let loose tips. Didn't pay attention. I thought. I know this voice. This tone. This uninterested but somehow still very engaging phrasing. I love Homereel. I've probably seen every Hunt showdown video you ever posted.
Thanks for the video. Just started playing this and this is such a breath of fresh air. I am done with all this MP games with that put their efforts in just how to sell you the next ridiculous weapon skin or outfit.
First couple games i just ran around dying alot but caught the hang of it now i get 2-3 kd everygame just playin more stealthy and slowly havin alot of fun
You made me laugh so dang hard, man. "Offensive" game mode. That was a good one. Then again when you drowned at the end... Too picture a soldier just hopping in the river like that lol
I came from Rising Storm Vietnam. Both games are one shot one kill and very dark and gritty at times. Move cover to cover and keep your head down. These are games of patience, not run guns blazing like CoD.
The game has a rather deep learning curve, but the friendly lvl 100+ veterans giving you tips all the time make it go smoothly. The best tips I can give to beginners is to not run across the open fields in enemy controlled territories (there's almost always someone watching since it's 50 vs 50). Learn to read the map(hedges, tree lines etc. to find the safest path) . Do not rush when the enemies might be close (stay still and listen). And the golden rule: communicate with your squad and your team. Even if you own squad is silent, use the proximity voice to share info with the other team players.
I feel like the last minute of the video was a piercing ray of judgement upon me. That said, I thank you for the video, it’s helpful for a total noob like myself.
A few buddies and I just got it for Xbox. It’s fun but I spend most my time running or waiting on long respawn timers. Most of the time I just get killed from absolutely nowhere, I’ve tried my hardest to be sneaky and crawl but I still get slaughtered lol. My best game was in a sherman with my friends on battle of the bulge. Still got alot to learn
The fun roleplay is one of the main selling points of this game, for me 😂😂 It looks like a LOT of fun. I love Band of Brothers and this, in some ways, makes me think of that. It's also great that you HAVE to work together as a squad or you will affect the outcome of the battle. I really thrive on team work as well as tactics and strategy. I've always been great at games like Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, etc. in which you have to be sneaky and use the environment to your advantage yet also charge when the opportunity presents itself. I want to get this game but I've seen a few videos saying that it has gotten worse since the dev team sold it? Also I'm afraid of not being good enough and my squad getting frustrated with me because I'm not able to help out enough.
I’ve been playing this game for well over a year and just last week I figured out how to properly play. I’ve basically been spending a year getting shot from enemies I don’t even see.
I just bought this and played a couple matches back to back. SUPER intense moments. My blood is still pimping. Looks fantastic, sounds fantastic and (once I suffer through it) it will play fantastic.
How to play steps: Step 1: Spawn as Support. Drop Supplies immediately. Redeploy 2: Sapwm as engineer. Build MANPOWER node. Put plans down for munitions node. Redeploy. 3: Spawn as Support. At the 2:30min mark right as the warmup period ends, you'll have another supply box. Drop supplies and build the munitions node. 4: At this point, you can either repeat the process and build your 3rd node after another 2:30min, OR you can redeploy on your squad lead's outpost as they begin attacking the middle point. Pro tip 1: Redeploy at headquaters and then redeploy again everytime you want to cut your supplies/ammo countdown. Pro tip 2: Don't stay as Support class. Use it as a temporary spawn in to drop supplies/ammo wherever you'd need a new garrison/AT gun/repair station, and then redeploy as the class you like. There's never enough repair stations or AT guns built at strong points near the middle of the map. You don't have to stay as AT in order to have an AT gun built, just build one in a strongpoint and move on. Same goes for throwing mines down.
