Yesterday I started up my very first game of Hell Let Loose on XS. Very excited, very nervous. I was immediately welcomed by my squad leader and the others, and my worries were soon forgotten. Traversing the terrain I made it to the frontline with a wall of soldiers defending the Siegfried Line. As I’m walking down the trenches I spot a familiar looking gamertag, and I thought, no…there’s no way…I ran and started yelling at him. He wouldn’t answer! And then I hear a voice, coming from someone else, “Bradley?!” Sure enough, I had found two long lost friends on the frontlines in Europe. It had been 14 years since we’ve last met; back in middle school playing Halo 3.
I truly cannot comprehend the chances of this happening. It multiplied the immersion of this game tenfold. Like we were all shipped off to war and found each other in the middle of Hell. Amazing experience, love the game and the community. Thanks for a great game!
