Hell Let Loose

A very well balanced mix of tactical gameplay and FPS gunplay. HLL can be a difficult game to understand, which unfortunately I think is a big barrier for the game. A lot of HLL's issues can be staked on the playerbase. It's like playing League of Legends at bronze vs emerald+ ranks. The game is just so much more different. I think to truly appreciate the game one needs a strong foundation in the game's mechanics. When both teams know what they're doing and a when game can be decided by out-maneuvering and flanking is where the game really shines. I won't forget seeing the enemy team coordinate a smoke screen across a field with a Panther pushing across to suppress us defenders while multiple infantry squads pushed. I've had a lot of great moments like that, but it's only possible when people make a solid attempt to work together and communicate. A lot of the complaints about the game being running simulator and not knowing where the enemy are getting shot at are missing the big mechanics of HLL. A person can read the map and see the invisible frontline where the enemies are at. And A proper Squad Leader should be marking on the map and pointing the squad where to look and prepare to fight the enemy. It's also extremely important for grunts to let the squad leader know where infantry or armor is at. So they can also spread the information. Once enemy spawn points are located it starts making more sense. Anyway, a pretty fun game all things considered :)
