So I’ve seen Hell Let Loose for a while now. I’m an avid lover of realistic shooters as I have over 650 hours in Squad, and over 300 hours in Post Scriptum. I love Squad, but I get tired of the modern setting so that’s why I switched to PS. In PS the downside is the player base. I feel as though it’s getting lower and lower, and makes it difficult to find a server to join in. Now this is where I need y’all’s help. Is HLL comparable to PS in terms of realism and squad based tactics? Is the player base more active that what PS is? Would it be a similar play style to PS and squad so making it easier to pick up? And finally would you recommend getting the game if you already play a lot of PS and squad?

Thanks in advance for the help you guys give!

I have 350 hours in PS and 210 in squad and HLL barely holds a candle to both in terms of teamwork, strategy, and realism. Gameplay is very janky and always has a blurry look to it no matter the resolution. Not to mention the textures, vfx and sfx are pretty awful in comparison to post scrote. The gameplay loop also gets very repetive where every engagement turns into a meat grinder with little to no strategy involved aside from the sl finding a good spot to put down an op. If they even do that is. If not youll find yourself running to the meat grinder for 5 min just to get shredded and repeat. Not to mention the various historical inaccuracies (stg 44 in stalingrad, helmets with camo covers that didnt exist) the tanking system is terrible, it basically made the sherman the best tank since they all use a light, medium, heavy tank class system using health bars for the tanks which makes it pretty unenjoyable not to mention no turning out (and devs have no plan to add it) I overall wouldnt recommend even after putting 78 hours in.

EDIT: You have shown points that are work in progress and will be worked on. Planning is key! No worries!

Blurry things can be fixed by using CommunityAA and or a combo with Nvidia Sharpening. Gameplay meatgrinders I havent seen much, its fine tho when you are a MG guy for the enemy team ;).

But I mainly play with a group of amazing community members knowing how to play and always communicate to avoid the spawn, die, repeat.

The so called historical inaccuracies were mentioned in AMAs before, the Eastern Front is just here and will grow and improve accordingly 😉.

Wow. An actual developer. To be fair the guy above did have some valid points. And not everybody has a community to play with. The player base can also be quite toxic to beginners and people who dont play like they want you too.

That I do understand. But, thats why there are amazing clans that host great events and play in a team and communicate. Then instead of you being surrounded by toxic, youll be in a clan that fight against the toxic ones if they are there ;).
