mess-hall

[neat salmon]

I know. I'm currently trying to get to 25 so I can play on some more circle servers

[frank walrus]

ITS HORRIBLE I DROWNED AT LEAST 20 FREAKING TIMES

[half haven]

Skill Issue

[wind shore]

💔

[drifting shell]

I saw 7 squad leaders who are level 1 walking around 100 resourses ( I’m looking map ) and then dying one by one ( we never got a Garry there after )

[half haven]

Just don't drown, unless the local transport truck crashes inside a ditch, and your BAR took you down with her.

[neat salmon]

sometimes the newbies are so braindead I have the masculine urge to pick up the officer hat and do it myself

[opaque cloud]

got it ty guys, people in my team typing to me but i cant respond

[pine ember]

You will witness them soon when you are more experienced

[drifting shell]

They have to add minimum level 10 for squad leaders

[neat salmon]

more like 20

[frank walrus]

BRO THE MACHINE GUNNERS JUST CAMP EVERY SINGLE CROSSING YOU EITHER DROWN OR GET MOWED DOWWN LIKE A RABID DOG

ITS UNPLAYABLE

[drifting shell]

I’m not playing cuz I only focus on building noods and sacrificing all squad members as leader for level so I can be commander in one month

[neat salmon]

I feel like at 10 I was still really fresh from the oven. Now tough, I think I'd dare to run as sl

[half haven]

I must say, getting used to the SL role more and more and cooperating with the commander and other SLs, is bloody fun.

[drifting shell]

I got 3 stars when I was a level 3 commander cuz I lead such a good push

All my squad loves me

And it was just cuz I don’t spawn outpost 200 meters from enemy

[near elm]

Communicating in this game in general is fun

Not only is it fun, but it actually help you and your team play better

[neat salmon]

do you have any prior experience with milsims?

[drifting shell]

What

[half haven]

Though i occasionally get worried I may be speaking too much and such

[neat salmon]

the game genre. milsim. the game we're discussing is a milsim

[pine ember]

?

[drifting shell]

Milsim?

[neat salmon]

yeah, milsim as in military simulator

[near elm]

Mehh HLL isnt really a milsim

[neat salmon]

that's what we're playing

[near elm]

Its like a half milsim

[drifting shell]

I need points for killing so I place outpost very close and they are level 1 so they just walk away and like me who hides behind enemy lines

[neat salmon]

really?

[near elm]

It has milsim features

[drifting shell]

Should I tell great tale how I lead the attack ?

[neat salmon]

I'd still count it. It's much closer to foxhole than to cod

[neat salmon]

sure

[near elm]

HLL is somewhere in between Squad 44 and Battlefield 1

In terms of milsimness

[echo nova]

not as cinematic as bf1 tho def
but fun asf

[near elm]

Its mainly just the pace of the game

Milsims are more slow paced whereas HLL is not

[drifting shell]

Hill 300 night , everyone shoots in dark and hopes for kills but we go into forest for crazy flank , destroy like 3 outposts along the way , take a good bunker and attack the point , our guys come in and we push them out , after that we push till end . Special thing is that in forest I literally build outposts even if I know enemies are near , we are faster and kill more while everyone has to walk 100 meters from outpost

[pine ember]

You don’t need anything, just chill and play the game

[near elm]

Definitely more of a milsim than something like Battlefield 1 though lol

[drifting shell]

You don’t know how much I want level 30

[frank walrus]

i just drowned AAGAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[neat salmon]

I do enjoy the pace of the game. I like to think of it as a detox from all the fast-paced games

[pine ember]

Haha sweet

Why do you want it?

[near elm]

Yeah the pace isn't full milsim, but its not like COD either

[drifting shell]

Commander

[near elm]

lts a good in between for a WW2 game

[drifting shell]

Wrong guy

[drifting shell]

Commander

[neat salmon]

do you think there are some new players that genuinely fully thought that this would be like cod?

[pine ember]

Why do you want to play commander?

I would recommend getting more experience than lvl30

[near elm]

No but a lot thought it would be much closer to Battlefield

[neat salmon]

I've never played battlefield, is it that much different from hll?

[drifting shell]

I have 68 hours but the thing is most of time I leave before end of match so I didn’t really level

[near elm]

The pace of it is yeah

And also the fact you dont die in 1 or 2 shots

[neat salmon]

but that's unrealistic

[near elm]

Well yeah battlefield isnt meant to be realistic

[neat salmon]

so it's portraying unrealistic scenarios within a realistic setting

[covert elbow]

HLL isn’t a MilSim

[near elm]

It just has more arcade like features

[covert elbow]

It’s a slightly harder battlefield

[neat salmon]

what is a real milsim then?

[near elm]

Squad 44 is more of a milsim

Or just normal Squad

[covert elbow]

It was meant to be a MilSim but never got there

[near elm]

Arma is more of a milsim as well

[near elm]

It still has milsim features, but yes its not a full on milsim

Somewhere in between Squad 44 and Battlefield

[pine ember]

Oh not that discussion again

[near elm]

I dont really think HLL should of ever been turned into a milsim

[neat salmon]

so, if hll has milsim features, how would a real milsim compare? Like is it more complex? More things to learn?

[near elm]

I think the pace of the game right now is good for a WW2 game

[covert elbow]

Like I said. It was meant to be a MilSim but due to neglect and incompetency by the previous devs it just became a worse hard. It’s battlefield

[covert elbow]

No

[covert elbow]

Yes

HLL has no depth and is incredibly basic

If it wanted to be a MilSim it’d be much more in-depth and take more time to learn mechanics and how to best utilize them

[near elm]

Wdym no? Its an opinion not a question

[covert elbow]

It’s not a good pace for any game tbh

[near elm]

It's not exactly Battlefield, Battlefield has much more arcade features.

[neat salmon]

so do you think hll should have a faster pace? Or a slower one?

[covert elbow]

It’s very mixed and takes you out of the pace very quickly with no time to simmer between them

[covert elbow]

It needs a more consistent pace

[near elm]

I personally think a consistent pace would get very boring and stale and wouldnt accurately represent war especially in a WW2 setting as well.

[neat salmon]

but doesn't the pace depend on the overall skill and coordination of the entire team, too?

[covert elbow]

Not really

[near elm]

Of course

If a team is more coordinated and dominates another team the games going to be much quicker.

[covert elbow]

The respawn timer and sitting still when downed is just blatantly unfinished

[neat salmon]

How are you supposed to slow down the course of the game if one team gets steamrolled by the other? Extend the capture time? Slow down the node production?

[covert elbow]

And the time it takes to get back in the action is just way to long

[opaque cloud]

Guys why cant i become a sniper?

[near elm]

Well this is entirely depend on the time you die.

And also where you can respawn.

[hushed tree]

WHY CANT I LOAD INTO A MATCH

[near elm]

Which is why as I said before, the pace of the game entirely depends on that individual game.

[hushed tree]

IM STUCK ON THE LOADING MAP SCREEN

[neat salmon]

Which currently directly correlates with the influx of new players. No garrisons, no outposts

[frank walrus]

i just gave the most epic comm of my hell let loose career

[covert elbow]

Someone has to already be a spotter for you to become a sniper

[neat salmon]

it's a running sim until you get shot in the head, and you can do it all over again

[frank walrus]

commander got 30 kills on a bombing run

[near elm]

Yeah of course, games right now can either be an absolute steamroll, or super slow because both sides are infinitely running at each other and dying.

[opaque cloud]

it also says I cant become a spotter

[covert elbow]

It’s a known issue. There’s a guide to fix it… somewhere. Sorry I’m not on PC so I idk where to find it

[proud vine]

Greetings Gentlemen, hope that you all are having an amazing day

[near elm]

You are stuck on the intro screen I guess you mean?

[proud vine]

Btw im new to HLL so any tips?

[near elm]

If you are stuck on the splash screen there is some steps for a fix here:
https://discord.com/channels/316459644476456962/1324513094055231569

[analog apex]

don't touch a halftrack xD

[covert elbow]

What? Are you playing on a community or a paid server?

[blazing hazel]

Hey Everyone

[proud vine]

In the game

[proud vine]

Halftrack?

[near elm]

Load into a game and pick commander 100% (dont do this)

[covert elbow]

Hey do you have to be a certain level to be a spotter?

[analog apex]

I don't think so

[near elm]

Depends on the server I believe.

But by default no.

[frank walrus]

bro i seriously carried the match with the commander and 2 other assault classes with me im not even joking we just flanked, called comms on enemy garrisons and if we cant dismantle them the commander would bomb it

As for the rest of our team they were defending a locked point that we already won lol

[analog apex]

halftracks in HLL are mobile spawnpoints - they are active (spawnable) only when idle and with the engine off

[agile rampart]

Is the lvl 1 crap fixed yet

[near elm]

Yeah a few good squads can carry a game 100% rn

[frank walrus]

we weren't even a squad just 4 people with thompsons

[proud vine]

I just wanna shoot things and people. I dont wanna drive or something

[near elm]

No

The devs at least havent said its fixed

However nobody seems to be coming in the discord and asking about it so

[covert elbow]

It’s still just bad game design. Idk why I get shot, have to stare at the sky for a few seconds to see if a medics around, hold a button to die, stare at a black screen for 10 seconds, then choose the quickest and closest spawn I want, usually want between 10-30 seconds and then spawn in. It’s way too long of a process with nothing to do. I’ll usually spend the time scrolling on my phone while I wait

[muted laurel]

The legend himself!

Are you still playing in 2025, Sam?

[analog apex]

start easy, with a rifleman class or Auto rifleman - those classes don't have any responsibilities
watch how the match develops, what peeps are doing and learn

[covert elbow]

Like at this point I’d much rather actually play hardcore battlefield

[opaque cloud]

Official, but its because it already had 2/2

[covert elbow]

Thought so

[analog apex]

yep... and still ranting about the legit bad stuff 😄

[covert elbow]

Yea I think some private servers will lock it

[cedar shell]

Gone for two weeks and the game is broken now? ☹️

[near elm]

Thats normally how milsims do it which is where the game has a common feature with milsims.

[covert elbow]

[proud vine]

I wanna start with only the best things, like what role is best what gun what to do to get better.

[empty yew]

Remember that the only thing that matters is capturing the point and how close you can spawn to it

It’s all about grand strategy

[proud vine]

Gotcha

[muted laurel]

Awesome! I love it!

Good to see you engaging here. Gives some nostalgia vibes lol

[near elm]

Its not broken

[analog apex]

then the Assault class is the way to go - GER LVL IX Assault has Stg44 and a satchel

but it will take a while to get it... quite a while xD

[proud vine]

Almost like getting the diamond skins in cod? Idk

[muted laurel]

Especially if you had the negative XP bug in beta.. 😆✌🏼

[analog apex]

once you get it though, you can be universal - anti infantry and anti tank alike

[cedar shell]

Best:

Most fun: Assault. On GE you get a STG-44, 3 Grenades, and a satchel.
Most value: officer. Builds spawns for ur team

[covert elbow]

Yes. But the problem is that with most MilSims you don’t die super easily like in HLL. The enemy either has a harder time shooting you or you take a couple of rounds in non-vital areas so you can keep living but just in cover.

HLL on the other hand kills you in 1 shot pretty much everywhere so you’re dying a lot more comparatively, meaning more time in the spawn screen.

I really want to see someone do a study to see the average kill to death ratio between HLL and a MilSim game

[analog apex]

right 😄

and no nodes/trucks yet

I wish I could play that state of the game again. At least I would be then playing on the full 2x2km old SMdM and 25 sectors.

[near elm]

The amount you die is also heavily dependent on skill and if you are running into an open field. If you lower the respawn timer by anything significant the game just turns into WW2 Battlefield

And whilst WW2 battlefield still sounds fun, its not really what HLL is going for

[pulsar echo]

i was playing sniper and i got kicked from my own unit and the reason why is because mod is making space for a friend

[muted laurel]

Those were good times.. I miss them too

[pulsar echo]

love this game

[proud vine]

I dont wanna do “task” things, almost. I just wanna play like im trying to capture something, shoot ppl, also kill. Almost like phantom phorces or tank games in roblox.

[covert elbow]

You say that but the most viable and best strategy for attacking in HLL is just human waving the objective. The enemy will run out of bullets long before you run out of spawns.

This and using airheads to “flank” the enemy which is a whole other discussion

[slate canopy]

Technically that is a reason why you can get kicked off a squad from the squad lead. I try not to buuuut

[covert elbow]

The game needs a rebalance to either become more hardcore, or become more arcade but because its current a confused mess with tons of conflicting mechanics

[near elm]

The best way to attack the objective is to encircle the point, you definitely dont want to be just running blindly at the objective with a bunch of other plays as you will get mowed down.

Trust me, thats pretty much what a new player lobby is right now, sending massive human swarms at the objective.

[proud vine]

So, i gotta choose assault class and the best gun is stg44 and a stachel.

Ger lvl IX, i dont understand this

Like level up or is it the guns name

[near elm]

The viable way of attacking is encirclement with a few good strategic garrison locations

[analog apex]

German Assault class

[proud vine]

Ohhh

[covert elbow]

Been that way for 2 years haha

[near elm]

Hmm not all the time, only during free weekends normally, just a little different this time as its free to claim

[analog apex]

US Assault LVL IX however, has... eehm... Grease gun 😄 . Satchel too, but the gun is quite underpowered compared to the German STG.

[covert elbow]

But those garrisons quickly get locked up because of the 100m lock radius in enemy territory

[near elm]

But eventually the new people will learn more about the game, or they will simply stop playing

[wind shore]

We need something hardcore. I prefer a small, continuous community to a big, flukey one.

[dusty bolt]

Where are my kill streaks

[proud vine]

Oopsie, sorry i didnt know server doesnt allow swear words.

[covert elbow]

Console and PC are very different experiences. This is the norm on. Console

[proud vine]

My apologies

[covert elbow]

That’s what I say too but I’ve seen quite a few people who want it to either not change or become more arcade

[near elm]

If you want something more hardcore then Squad 44 is your game

[proud vine]

I also like playing as a sniper, its holy smokes cool. Any tips?

[near elm]

Thats going for the more hardcore milsim WW2 route.

[covert elbow]

Idk. I don’t really try with this community anymore because despite the game obviously needing changes nobody seems to want to develop or wants them implemented

[wind shore]

We got lots of arcade games. With the arcade comes the cherry-pick cheating system.

[near elm]

I just think you simply dont like the game lol

[wind shore]

Polishing the RP edges won't do us any good.

[near elm]

I dont think the game desperately needs many changes, I just think you want the game to be something its not aiming to be

[analog apex]

well... shoot straight is the only tip I can give there heh.
US sniper scope is quite weak (very low zoom) against the German 8x zoom of scoped Kar98K and then the Germans have semi auto scoped FG42

[near elm]

I personally would love the game to keep the direction its going, and let Squad 44 take the more milsim route.

[proud vine]

So german way it is.

[near elm]

Enough room in the WW2 genre for both of us

[proud vine]

Thats all.

[wind shore]

HLL doesn't aim to be something. HLL will expand upon the needs of the community.

[covert elbow]

Possible. It’s been 600 hours of degrading quality in almost every department

[analog apex]

holy truth!

[covert elbow]

Just want something fresh and new that’s good for the game

[near elm]

Maybe you just need to play a new game lol

[analog apex]

maybe the game just needs to be fixed

[near elm]

From what you have been saying something like Squad 44 would fit your needs

[covert elbow]

Gameplay, visuals, graphic, dev teams, dev communications, VOIP, gunplay, etc

[near elm]

Definitely going the more milsim hardcore route

[covert elbow]

Not on console

[near elm]

I know, I never directed it at you.

[covert elbow]

I have been. Helldivers 2 is much more hardcore then HLL could ever hope to be tbh

[covert elbow]

Also just to clarify no hate to you Jack

[near elm]

What? Helldivers 2 is not hardcore

[covert elbow]

It’s been quite lovely chatting with you actually

[covert elbow]

Ah ah ah, neither is HLL

[near elm]

I know, I wouldnt want either one of them to be

I enjoy Squad 44 when I want more of a hardcore WW2 shooter, and I enjoy HLL when I want a more chaotic WW2 shooter.

[wind shore]

Squad 44 shouldn't be considered hardcore to be fair.

[covert elbow]

Helldivers 2 has
Buddy system
Injury system
Sequential reloads
Manual gears on vehicles
Range sighting
Select fire
Ability to cook grenades

[near elm]

Its going more down that route with the new developers than HLL is.

[covert elbow]

I could go on but those are a few examples that should have been in HLL since day one

[wind shore]

Hopefully.

[near elm]

Not hopefully, it will.

[river sigil]

helldivers 2 is not hardcore until you're carrying 3 other people in a level 10 mission

[near elm]

The new developers will just take it in the same direction as normal Squad but WW2, it just makes sense

[near elm]

Yeah helldivers 2 is not hardcore in the slightest

[covert elbow]

Also mind you, I said Helldivers is more hardcore than HLL. Not that Helldivers is hardcore

And I think you realize my issue with HLL

[near elm]

And neither one of them need to be hardcore.

HLL is in a good position as it is, it maintains a solid player count.

[lilac osprey]

Goodmorning everyone!

[near elm]

In fact with the new development of Squad 44 it's actually more incline to stay down its current genre instead of going into the more hardcore milsim genre.

[wind shore]

你好

[covert elbow]

Ello

[covert elbow]

But like I said, what’s the point of playing HLL when battlefield does its job 10x better?

It hasn’t carved a niche for itself

It’s just a badly designed game that kinda has promise but never profited off itself

[wind shore]

They need to add atom bombs to HLL 🙏

[covert elbow]

Like this game has all the potential in the world but it squandered it in almost every regard

People praise the gunplay and I look at them confused

[near elm]

Battlefield is more arcade than HLL.

[covert elbow]

What gunplay? It’s aim and shoot and sometimes you might not even kill rhe guy because of the bad hit reg

[near elm]

If you think it does things better then you can play Battlefield, if you think HLL does it better then you play HLL.

[covert elbow]

Yea. And it nails its formula

[near elm]

Then go play Battlefield 1 instead, its a free world.

[covert elbow]

Yea but if you want to play HLL a different game does it better

It’s this weird middle ground that by some miracle works

[near elm]

Battlefield and HLL feel like 2 different experiences.

[covert elbow]

Not really to me

You spawn, die, shoot, blow something up, etc

There’s not any communication, no tactics, no cinematic moments

It’s just empty to me

[solar bough]

I mean the thing that makes HLL better is the communication factor

[near elm]

Well thats on console, PC HLL definitely has much more communication than Battlefield.

[steel knoll]

Hey, I'm like super new to the game, was wondering if there was any kind of group of something I could join to play with people that actually listens when you use comms

[solar bough]

Battlefield 1 is a legendary game but its not REQUIRED to be played in squads

[sand breach]

that's your teams problem, not the games

[covert elbow]

I’ve probably just played to long. I’ll do my HLL essay and then quit unless they really turn it around in 2025 because I’m not going to be trusting the roadmap at all

[covert elbow]

#pc-looking-for-unit

[near elm]

It just sounds like you have been joining the wrong servers, or console players are just shy

[steel knoll]

thanks

[dry pond]

what up gang

[covert elbow]

Very welcome

[tawdry crater]

It’d be better if HLL had Red Orchestra’s ballistics

[covert elbow]

Hello hello

[solar bough]

Newer people have already started communicating more in HLL which is really good, I've had lots of fun being in an armored squad with people who talk

[spiral current]

HLL has many problems imho, and none of those would be solved by being more like Battlefield.

[covert elbow]

It’s just console. I’ll find one match out of 10 with consistent communication

[covert elbow]

Absolutely agree

[near elm]

Then thats not really anything the devs can do anything about

If console players dont wanna speak then they dont wanna speak

[dry pond]

[solar bough]

Wait so there are separate console servers?

[past veldt]

There is no PC and console crossplay

[solar bough]

I see

[cyan saddle]

The scoreboard icons are rather misleading ^^

[near elm]

Yeah PC and Console players play seperate

[dry pond]

[solar bough]

Interesting

[covert elbow]

maybe if they had a proper tutorial, didn’t make it free on gamepass, and had hardcore mechanics to deter the casual shooter who doesn’t use their microphone we wouldn’t be in this situatuin

[near elm]

I personally just dont see why you would release a hardcore shooter on console tbh

I dont really think consoles have as big of a community for a hardcore shooters than PC

[tawdry crater]

Idk why it had a console port at all

[spiral current]

I don't really care that people don't want to speak. I just want them to share the responsibility of doing the dull stuff (nodes, playing support to drop a box) to help the team. The Officer vs other experience is too asymetrically weighted. Being commander / SL is like looking after a group of children. Like, sure, its fun for a bit, but ultimately draining.

[near elm]

Most likely why Squad has no plans to release on console

[past vortex]

it simply costs next to nothing to do it

[analog apex]

if the 2025 one will be as underwhelming as the 2024 one was, I guess we will be able to rely on it - 2024 roadmap stuff was all delivered, despite the low/questionable quality

[near elm]

The amount of work you have to put in to put a game like Squad on console compared to the community it would serve just wouldnt be worth it

[past vortex]

its almost no work

[covert elbow]

Yea. Greg’s been talking a big game about changes and updates but I’ll believe it when I see it

[near elm]

Same with Arma 3

[analog apex]

yep, not possible to rely just solely on Team17's word... we have had plenty of those while their actions spoke otherwise

[near elm]

Nah it would be quite a bit of work to port a game like Squad to console especially for the size of the studio

Plus you then also have to maintain the console port as well

[covert elbow]

Because theirs a huge untapped market for it, as seen with the popularity of arma reforged and HLL

[spiral current]

is the '25 roadmap published then? Googling returned nothing to me.

[past vortex]

why, the consoles are simple pcs, you ust adapt to another store/login api

[analog apex]

not yet

[past vortex]

something you probably do anyway for steam/epic etc

[covert elbow]

No. Probably sometime January

[spiral current]

its always really hard to google to confirm the absence of something xD

[pine ember]

They should just add another eastern front map

[near elm]

I disagree, HLL isn't hardcore which is why it will do well on console, and Arma Reforger has been doing well on PC but no real way to tell the player count on console

[past vortex]

well most people would disagree that hll isnt hardcore

[near elm]

Most studios need to hire external studios to develop and publish a port for console

[past vortex]

only if their min specs are over what the consoles have, then ofc

other games just slap the api on and thats it

[covert elbow]

They need to add the Aluetians first. It’s essential to the games survival

[near elm]

Consoles have a completely different devkit, platform requirements, performance, console UI for their displays, then you need to do that for every single time you want to update

[past vortex]

its a simple api

[near elm]

I can assure you it's not, consoles have a totally different devkit to PC, not to mention consoles run on different platform architecture.

[pine ember]

What? The eastern front is around for 3 and a half years now, it was the biggest and most brutal and impactful fromt of the war, it deserves more than 3 maps

[tawdry crater]

Could always do Berlin 🤷🏽‍♂️

[covert elbow]

Nah the Aleutians was more important, bigger, and cooler

[covert elbow]

Who cares about that. Gimme kiska

[pine ember]

Oh help

[spiral current]

Out of curiosity... If you had Musk money, and could just reforge HLL into the game you want it to be, what are the short hightlights that you change?

me:

• Add a second Axis faction.
• Artillery reworked
• Infantry vs tanks would be less binary and more focused around immobilisation but more durable tanks.
• Medics would do something more realistic towards resources than inject magic needles.

[past vortex]

https://unity.com/solutions/playstation

[pine ember]

Maybe, or they could do another battle deeper in the USSR so it stays unique, like Tarnopol #1324096660149633065 message

[past vortex]

id pay for bugfixes

[near elm]

Yeah thats if you are making a unity game for playstation, not porting a game from PC to console.

[spiral current]

are there any big bugs in the game now?

Slow server browser and mid-game server-crashes are the two in my head.

there isn't anything like "grenade bug" or "loadout bug" left, is there?

[near elm]

Well theres the level resetting bug

But that should hopefully be fixed soon, I think its mainly just due to the influx of players

[past vortex]

climbing, hitboxes

[spiral current]

oh, the XP announcement, is that hitting lvl 4+ ?

[covert elbow]

I’d completely overhaul the game. Almost nothing wouldn’t be updated or straight up reworked for the better

[spiral current]

because that is painful xD

[near elm]

If I were you i'd just play something else lol

[worldly saffron]

Hola, algún latino ?

[covert elbow]

I do. I just stick around to help players and discuss the game because I don’t got much else to do

[near elm]

Hardcore shooters just don't really have a huge market on console its just not worth it

[covert elbow]

You can find your language here

#enlist_language message

[pine ember]

Add Finland vs USSR, add a dedicated eastern front subfaction for Germany, add more easter front maps, fix bugs nerf artillery but not remove it. Otherwise I'm quite happy

[tawdry crater]

Replacing the StG with the MKb 42 on eastern theater maps would be neat

[covert elbow]

No it very much does

[worldly saffron]

Oh, thanks

[near elm]

Trust me, if it had a huge market Squad would have plans to release on console.

[covert elbow]

Y’know I feel like I remember Greg saying they weren’t going to do an ostfront subfaction

[tender sparrow]

bad company 2

[near elm]

Theres a reason they just dont care.

[covert elbow]

Welcome

[covert elbow]

Pretty sure they won’t port it because of the hassle console/ PC development is

It pretty much killed this game

[pine ember]

I get why, but it still hurts in my eyes to see a Panther and a G43 in Stalingrad where a Panzer III and G41 would be better

[near elm]

Yes, because the hassle simply isn't worth it for the players you'd get from it.

[spiral current]

it's germany vs everyone else,- usa, britain, ussr.

[pine ember]

No, USSR and Great Britain too

[covert elbow]

I don’t. There’s a lot of opportunity for unique items to be here

[tawdry crater]

They can just replace the models

[covert elbow]

Also the main faction needs an overhaul anyways so just make an ostfront subfaction

[spiral current]

Finland would be a weird choice to add, because they were never aligned to either side.

fun, but weird.

[covert elbow]

But nope. bureaucracy has pretty much killed game development

You have to ask 4 different people had get a 2 week review board to change one thing of code

[spiral current]

italy have fun tanks and probably make sense from an existing assets point of view. Japan would be a crazy addition, but they made a desert when they added britain, so possible.

[covert elbow]

1940 maps would be fun but not worth it anymore

[alpine stirrup]

My mic isnt working in game, can someone help me please?

[pine ember]

I mean its time consuming and costs money, and in terms of Kursk, the accuracy is believable, but not for maps set prior 1943. But still, they use the basically the same uniforms and its not as inaccurate as Feldgrau or Erbsenmuster dressed soldiers with Panthers in Africa

[covert elbow]

We got 6 maps tops left so let’s not squander it

[covert elbow]

So every map lmao

Isn’t Kursk like August 1943?

[pine ember]

They promised it in 2023, so I would like to see it because it never was in a WW2 game

[covert elbow]

Also how tf have we not gotten the M43 for the Soviets yet. It’s litteraly already in the game

[spiral current]

just add itally with lots of dopey little 2 man tanks running around and completely rip up the light/medium/heavy meta. xD

[covert elbow]

The France your thinking of was 1940Europe and then colonial actions against the Allie’s in 1942

[pine ember]

No, July, but the Panther was used there, same for the StG44 and you could argue the G43 aswell

[pine ember]

Thats so dumb, it could be lvl3 unlock

[covert elbow]

It should be the level 1 starter uniform lmao

2/3 maps have it where it was standard issue

Also it’s so funny the amount of helmets and hats the Soviets have that just… weren’t used

[pine ember]

Kharkov is set during the switch, so the M35 is believable

[covert elbow]

If you want an accurate headger you got the base SSH40 and Ushaka for winter

[pine ember]

Pilotka?

[covert elbow]

Side cap is iffy since across all nations you pretty rarely saw those in combat

Or it was at least very uncommon

[pine ember]

Oh, for the Soviets you did

Same for the Germans with the M43

[covert elbow]

I know for the US the garrison cap was just non-existent and you only wore a field cap during night raids

[pine ember]

The covered helmets were used too

[covert elbow]

Really?

[pine ember]

Yes

[covert elbow]

I’ve heard the opposite about that with the Soviets

Like the ameba was the only one you would have seen

[pine ember]

The cloth covered brown one could be field made

[pine ember]

There arent more than that

[covert elbow]

Yea

[pine ember]

The worst thing is the Erbsenmuster helmet cover

[covert elbow]

Bottom line, they need to stop adding weird, rare, or completely made up items and give us some actually widely used uniforms

[pine ember]

Erbsenmuster 12/10 uniform, but the cover is just...

[pine ember]

Plane tree please

[covert elbow]

Like it’s been 4 years since they added the camo HBT’s but not the normal ones for the US

[pine ember]

Sumpftarn

Rauchtarn

[covert elbow]

And the M43 has the won’t pants!

[covert elbow]

They also need to stop releasing these as individual uniforms

[pine ember]

Which one?

[covert elbow]

Just make them unlockable for a single uniform

[pine ember]

One big electrician DLC would be cool

[pine ember]

Yea I suggested that

[lofty bough]

Commander winter camo

[covert elbow]

US M43. It has the 2nd pattern HBT pants. The entire uniform is also just the completely wrong color

[covert elbow]

Don’t get me started on commander specific uniforms

[pine ember]

I dont know much about the US ones, which would be the correct color

[covert elbow]

Like… a huge point in ww2 was to have officers blend in with either really minor identification markers or none at all

[pine ember]

Its their only good uniform, the other colors are too bright

[covert elbow]

So why do we have incredibly obvious commander uniforms!?!? And they have basic uniforms locked to commander!?!?

They sold a 3 year old barely changed uniform that the community has been begging them to release for years! As a commander uniform!

Gah!

[covert elbow]

The M43 in game is way to bright a color. The new winter M43 with wool trousers is actually the correct color

[pine ember]

The one from the Elsenborn DLC?

[covert elbow]

Yes

That’s the correct color

[pine ember]

The only good uniform from it is the German commander, that looks so cool

[pine ember]

Good to know

[covert elbow]

I hate the “patton” uniform

[wind shore]

Look for a tank crew for Xbox

[covert elbow]

If it was just a neat homage I’d be down

But no. It’s litterly just Patton

[pine ember]

I mean he used it as far as I know, but it looks so laughable

[covert elbow]

#console-looking-for-unit will be better for you

[pine ember]

Hes a general, not a cowboy

[covert elbow]

So did other officers

All they needed to do was remove the stars, patches, and cowboy belt and make it a normal B3 with a standard pistol belt

It looks so bad…

Oh also the new winter helmet for the US is bad too

They added a field cap underneath but just… forgot the cap

And the new M43 has a weird flashlight in its pocket? Like it has a clip on it. They know that right?

No they probably don’t…

[pine ember]

No idea, I didnt buy these packs

[ocean karma]

Maybe they'll add a night map

[covert elbow]

Should have been a free DLC

[covert elbow]

And not change it to make it actually different to the original map

[chrome nova]

bro istg this is leggit ridiculous i been in a loading screen or timing out for the past 30 mins

[pine ember]

The only DLCs I have are the free ones, the one I received when I bought the game, and then the Eichenlaub, Erbsenmuster, Zeltbahn and Pathfinder

[covert elbow]

Thats just how HLL plays. 2 minutes of gameplay, 3 Minutes of loading screens

[chrome nova]

no its bcs of all them new players servers cannt handle it

never had this problem

[empty yew]

Yeah hopefully it fixes itself

A lot of it is syncing errors

[chrome nova]

man i just wanna play tha game 😭

[echo nova]

when pacific

[covert elbow]

Never if all goes well

[echo nova]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'

welp

ill banzai in my dreams

[covert elbow]

Just go play red orchestra or S:44 for the pacific

RO already has it and S:44 is releasing it soon

[echo nova]

yes yes js saw squad 444 has pacific

does s 44 still have a lotta players?

[worthy charm]

No

quite the opposite

1000 or less

[echo karma]

Pretty dead but rising. Hll only what 4k on steam?

Also s44 feels way different than hll. More tactical. Armour knowledge is a must if your a sapper or armour main. Suppression is heavy. A 42 will put you on the ground

[polar ether]

i just downloaded the game, anyone want to play and teach me the ropes?

[cosmic knoll]

is there anywayt to lower your ping, i joined a server with 15 ping but when im in it i have like 100

[obtuse cobalt]

Worst part of HLL

the Queue time

[pine ember]

Is the basic M41 and the Airborne uniform accurate?

[ripe stratus]

Anyone to play tank ??

[ripe mountain]

Anyone wanna play rn ? Ps5

[covert elbow]

M41’s pretty good. It’s missing an undershirt in the open collar but other than that it’s fine. The field gear is weird but that’s for all classes so it doesn’t count.

M42’s… fine. It’s got stuff that’s “technically” correct but doesn’t need to be there. Mainly the US Flag, this was an armband and not really sewn on the uniform, and the reinforcements on the pants. Oh and also the leg ties. Those were 101st specific and only in some company’s/ platoons. For example, easy company 506th PIR

[agile rampart]

Is the lvl 1 rank fixed yet

[pine ember]

They seem to be better than the M43, so I might use them more often

[covert elbow]

I can give you a guide for US uniforms if you want to use them correctly

[pearl venture]

yo how do i spawn heavy tank

[ocean karma]

I want whatever game makes me run the furthest before dying

[pulsar fulcrum]

i just got the game

is it hard

[pine ember]

Yes, that would be cool, thank you

I can help you with German ones if you want

[heavy citrus]

yo I can't join servers.. Even on 50/100 player ones. Always says that the "Queue is full", and yes i refreshed.

[neat salmon]

Holy hell I just got a new pb on the kills

I got 6 kills

that's huge

[near elm]

I mean depends what games u have played before

[pulsar fulcrum]

minecraft

and uhhhh

[near elm]

Might be a learning curve yeah

[pulsar fulcrum]

csgo

[keen raptor]

glad to see my lvl 1 bug fixed. got my role xp during it, just not player level. not too bad

[near elm]

I dont think its even fixed

You will probably find your player level will come back randomly as well

[covert elbow]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t1LC_9uJzcOccToQ-QoSIDSGuE05tSCTw-vpRI6EjKM/edit

[neat salmon]

guys I just got 6 kills

[covert elbow]

Here. It’s got them all listed

[neat salmon]

6 kills that's like so many

[pulsar fulcrum]

goodd keep it up man

[neat salmon]

and I survived 2 close encounters

[pulsar fulcrum]

cool

[neat salmon]

those were scary

[pulsar fulcrum]

i always tried to choose sniper in the 4 games i have played

[neat salmon]

it's hard in a sense that you have to keep a lot of things in mind

[neat salmon]

you need a spotter for that

and the slot has to be available, too

[pulsar fulcrum]

yeahh

[neat salmon]

I'm pretty sure there's a single sniper per team

[pulsar fulcrum]

its so hard getting the sniper role

[pulsar fulcrum]

no theres 2 i think

[analog apex]

2

[neat salmon]

still, with 50 people there's a slim chance at getting it

[pulsar fulcrum]

i know they take the role so quickly

[neat salmon]

I guess it's mostly experienced players who know what they are doing

also I know u played csgo, but this aint csgo

[pulsar fulcrum]

am good with snipers

[neat salmon]

the matches are mutch slower paced

[pulsar fulcrum]

yeah 1.30 hr each i think?

[neat salmon]

expect to get shot from who knows where by who knows who

a lot

[pulsar fulcrum]

i try to hold out at one place but i get bored and rush and die lol

[neat salmon]

if you get bored this aint the game for you

[pulsar fulcrum]

nah

[slate canopy]

Warfare is a max 1.5 hours. Offensive can be up to 2.5 hours if each point (30 minutes) is captured at the last minute.

[neat salmon]

you need to take your time

[pulsar fulcrum]

ill get used to it its so fun

[pulsar fulcrum]

u know alot

[neat salmon]

hello polar

[slate canopy]

Well I would hope I do with 880 something hours lol

[neat salmon]

wow that's a lot of hours

[pulsar fulcrum]

i just died

[neat salmon]

I'm not sure if there's a way to check that on epic

[pulsar fulcrum]

woahh

[pulsar fulcrum]

there is

[neat salmon]

yeah there

so far I have 14 hours on it

[slate canopy]

There are plenty with many more hours than me. I am level 188

[pulsar fulcrum]

i have 5

[neat salmon]

almost 15

[pine ember]

Thanks, that’s such a great guide

[neat salmon]

I just reached level 20

[pulsar fulcrum]

am level 5 and bro it was a struggle but with 880 hours i guess thats kinda duable

[neat salmon]

just 5 more and I can play on the capped circle servers

I wonder how much of a difference it will be to play on those

because on the noob friendly ones there are still very few officers who talk. It's mostly 2-3 members who communicate between each other, and the rest does their own thing

[pulsar fulcrum]

js got a kill

[neat salmon]

how did it feel

[pine ember]

@covert elbow since it seems a bit outdated (I would assume it was made in late 2022), I can help updating it regarding the German uniforms if that’s the plan

[red stump]

There's no better feeling than killing the enemy

[neat salmon]

because my experience so far is that I'm not even enjoying it when I get a kill. I'm just glad that I've survived another encounter

[pulsar fulcrum]

it feels like hell let loose

[analog apex]

more like shoveling him from behind xD

[pulsar fulcrum]

HUHHHH one guy had the movement like a warzone pro lol

[neat salmon]

Though the sound of helmets popping when you get a headshot is pretty satisfying

[red stump]

why use a shovel when god gave us 45ACP?

[wind shore]

💔

[red stump]

literally two world wars.

[pulsar fulcrum]

💔 😔

[hushed dagger]

Hello

[analog apex]

because the God didn't give it to every class

[wind shore]

🥲💔

[pulsar fulcrum]

😔 🙏

[red stump]

then yer on the wrong side, mein freund

[neat salmon]

God created men. Colt made them equal

[hushed dagger]

Is there a way to find matches without lvl 1 officers who don't know how to place an OP?

[wind shore]

🥲🙏💔

[pulsar fulcrum]

i died again

[neat salmon]

don't count it, there's no point

[pulsar fulcrum]

maybe system of a down and hell let loose isnt such a good combo

[hushed dagger]

Dying doesn't really matter in the game you die all the time

[pulsar fulcrum]

true

[quick ibex]

bro why tf is joining a game SO DIFFICULT

[pulsar fulcrum]

we js won

[hushed dagger]

fr

[quick ibex]

who thought about this trash system

[neat salmon]

I don't know about others, but I play without music or any bg audio

[hushed dagger]

all games are full

[red stump]

first man gets the rifle, second the ammunition. pick up that mosin and go be somebody!

[neat salmon]

because there are a lot of people playing

[pulsar fulcrum]

true cuz u cannot hear anything

[neat salmon]

yeah. gotta get them sound cues

[pulsar fulcrum]

i got 1 kill yippieee

[hushed dagger]

Same because hearing the headshot sound is so satisfying

[quick ibex]

i dont see how that matters

[pulsar fulcrum]

in the whole game congrats to me

[neat salmon]

it matters in a way where the servers are full

[quick ibex]

just add some "Play" button, like EVERY SINGLE GAME and just make me wait until some server is free

why make me go around try, try, try, queue full, queue full, queue full

[pulsar fulcrum]

and u will get matched up with 500 plus ping

[neat salmon]

if you have 100 seats and 100 people, and 6 more are waiting in the line, it will be troublesome to get a seat, yes

[quick ibex]

nope

[pulsar fulcrum]

I JUST GOT THE SNIPER ROLE CONGRATS TO ME YIPPIEEEEEEE

[hushed dagger]

A quick match button wouldn't work because it will give you a match with 500 ping and all people are speaking in a different language

[analog apex]

current HLL playerCount:

64,677 total players
12,883 steam players (19.92%)
51,190 non-steam players (79.15%)
595 unknown platform (0.92%)

36,766 on official servers (56.85%)
27,316 on community servers (42.23%)

[quick ibex]

if you have 100 seats and 100 people, you dont tell them, hey go to each seat and check if its empty, no, you put them in a room, and you call them when there is an empty seat

[wind shore]

guys why theres no one speaks in my unit when i play enlist?

[hushed dagger]

שלום כרמי

[wind shore]

יואו

[neat salmon]

2 people have said it already, but the only servers that do have empty spots all the time are the ones people don't want to play

[hushed dagger]

חחחחח

[neat salmon]

so if you were to add a "play" button, it would throw you exactly there

[uncut tangle]

Think i'm going to wait till they fix the exp issues lol. Not gaining any form of progress on my end.

[quick ibex]

they can add filters

[neat salmon]

there are filters

[quick ibex]

filters dont work on the servers people dont wanna play on?

[neat salmon]

wdym

people don't wanna play on servers that have over 500 ping

but you don't get to filter out servers with bad ping

[echo karma]

Math ain't mathing bro. You can check the player count via servers on Friday night on consoles. It's like 4k ish maybe 5k

[chrome nova]

okay this is getting ridiculous now i seriously cant load into any game

[pulsar fulcrum]

mr_goose ur name is godly

[formal night]

Why cant i dump supplies?

[chrome nova]

tyty but that doesnt help

[pulsar fulcrum]

i tried like 30 server

[viral totem]

if you've already dumped some you have to wait, there is a cooldown

[vast bolt]

why does nobody in any server use comms

[formal night]

it says that there is 2 supplies

[pulsar fulcrum]

i just got 5 kills in a row

[chrome nova]

servers cant handle this stream of new players i think

[formal night]

becues we/they are nearly all noobs

[viral totem]

ik!!!! I'm a veteran. lvl 70 and i can barely find two or three people talking the entire lobby

[coral haven]

HI

[pulsar fulcrum]

6 now

[viral totem]

are you in a supply truck?

[coral haven]

I NEED HELP

[formal night]

not anymore but i was in it

[vast bolt]

the most people ive had actually use comms was like maybe four

[pulsar fulcrum]

wat happen

8 KILLS IN A ROW

[chrome nova]

real but im not lvl 70 i think

[coral haven]

HE SAY PRESS ANY BUTTON

[viral totem]

ah, i think it has to do with you trying to dump on the same spot. if youve already dumped one crate, you gotta drive like 10 meters and then drop the next

[pulsar fulcrum]

oh no

[formal night]

i am in a server with no coms and no commander :(

[coral haven]

BUT I PRESS ITS DOSENT WORK

[viral totem]

yup. and there is no commander in any game, so I just go commander, build 8 garrys and win

[pulsar fulcrum]

ohh i had that problem

[coral haven]

OK

[coral haven]

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT?

[pulsar fulcrum]

i just restarted ther game

[hushed dagger]

Playing with teamates that actually talk is so much fun

[viral totem]

yup just restart the game. that works most of the time

[hushed dagger]

not lvl 1 players who kill friendlies

[vast bolt]

nobody builds garrys or outposts so here i am on a 10 min trek just to die by someone i never saw

[viral totem]

yup. it is night and day

[coral haven]

i try like 5 times

im use mouse and keybord

[viral totem]

hahaha you should go officer or commander. drop supplies with the air, supply truck and build garrys. these noobs wont know the hard work you put in, but it will make your team better and 9/10 times you win, just simply by having more spawnpoints than the other team

[viral totem]

hmm, maybe uninstall and reinstall? idk tbh

[covert elbow]

Yea he did great work

[covert elbow]

It’s not my list but steller and to a lesser degree me have been working on a uniforms fix/ addition list. It could also coincide with a accurate uniforms list

[pulsar fulcrum]

bro i have 9 kills in a row

[pine ember]

Ok, Stellar is good with German uniforms too, but if you need help or help from a native, don’t hesitate to contact me😄

[pulsar fulcrum]

10 kills in a row

nah

[dry birch]

can anybody join me and lead me as a captain

i use mic

[pulsar fulcrum]

i almost died

[heavy jetty]

Hi, im new in this game. I get it because is free in epic. What is your opinion about the game?

[pulsar fulcrum]

gud but hard kinda

[nimble ridge]

u guys getting xp after game?

[pulsar fulcrum]

yes

[nimble ridge]

why i cant received it after the game?

[pulsar fulcrum]

12 kills in a row holy

[viral totem]

if you leave the game before you get the xp you wont recieve any. common mistake

[covert elbow]

Oh I meant that as a you could join us but I forgot to add the offer lmao

[pulsar fulcrum]

13

[viral totem]

you need to wait until the leveling up is done.

[nimble ridge]

i just stayed and wait for the next game, i didnt get 1

[hollow oracle]

why are there so many servers that are 80-90/100 players and 6/6 queue

[analog apex]

I believe those are just PC numbers, server count pretty much roughly checks out

[pine ember]

If you want to, I could join you

[pulsar fulcrum]

NO WAY

16 KILLS IN A ROW WITH A SNIPER

[heavy jetty]

In terms of mechanics, could you tell me if the character runs too fast, as well as the shots. What puts me off is that it's Warzone-style gameplay. If you could tell me, I'd appreciate it.

I will try it later but I want to know some things about mechanics and operation.

[wind shore]

There has been an infestation

[pulsar fulcrum]

am new to this game

[hollow oracle]

but i dont understand why people are just in queue when there are slots available

[pulsar fulcrum]

i swear am not lying.

20 kills in a row.

am insane

[wind shore]

🤷‍♂️

[heavy jetty]

The mechanics are an important point as well as the gameplay. I only ask that it not be as fast as in Delta or Warzone where it seems like you are skating.

[heavy jetty]

Oh yeah, first sensations?

[wind shore]

☠️

[pulsar fulcrum]

i dowloaded it like 2 days ago man and idk what that word means

[heavy jetty]

how about in the game

[vague flame]

😆

[heavy jetty]

are u happy with the product?

[jolly hound]

hi there guys...

[pulsar fulcrum]

YES ITS SOSOSOSOSOSOSO FUN

[heavy jetty]

But I don't understand, are the wars 50 vs 50 or 100 vs 100? How many friends can I play with on the same team, whether attack or defense? Thanks

[analog apex]

there is no 100vs100

100 is the overal maximum playercount per server

[heavy jetty]

I'm at work, I left the game downloading. I just want opinions and a little information from the players of this game.

[heavy jetty]

is 50 vs 50?

[analog apex]

yes

but usually more like 49vs49 because there are usually 2 streamers who are in the flyCam

no

just flying around and commenting

[heavy jetty]

flycam?? wtf is this

[analog apex]

admin camera

they can see the battlefield from the bird's eye perspective and stuff

[heavy jetty]

So, are there administrators in the game who check if there are cheaters, for example?

[viral totem]

yup

[analog apex]

I wouldn't say so

[viral totem]

you wouldnt?

[analog apex]

no

[viral totem]

not in every match of course, but some

[analog apex]

but fishy stuff is easy to spot, depending on what ofc

[heavy jetty]

You are a cheater bro

hahahaha

[viral totem]

yeah, there are not many cheaters in this game either way so.

[analog apex]

maybe not until EPIC HLL free giveAway xD

[mental fjord]

is chat or vc often used someone got mad at me for using chat a lot while i was with tank crew

[heavy jetty]

Are the game times two hours? If I have an emergency and have to leave, am I penalized?

[viral totem]

was about to say

[heavy jetty]

sounds good

[analog apex]

man, this is something the communities/clans agree upon, there are no general rules

[covert elbow]

Accept my friend request

[heavy jetty]

I agree with 10-20 minutes but two hours?

[viral totem]

using mics and communicating is really important in this game. I would even argue that one squad of 6 where everyone talks and coops is better than three or four squads without mics

[analog apex]

when I was playing in my latest seasonal, the limit was 30 minutes - if one of the competing teams wasn't ready, he had to play with fewer players if they didn't manage to get a reserve or forfeit
something like that

[cyan saddle]

If something personal comes up teams can find a replacement

[mental fjord]

he said i was “f”cking annoying” for using chat a lot while he had 24 combat effectiveness

[cyan saddle]

But being an unreliable teammate is bad for any team that tries to be competitive

[heavy jetty]

There must be reserves, it is quite a long time

[analog apex]

Abu here is member of the clan that came up with and hosts the HLL Seasonal tournament so he will know it the best

[viral totem]

xD it do be like that sometimes, but you should still use a mic. that is my advice at least. the game will get much more entertaining for everyone when everyone talks

[analog apex]

yes there are ofc

if the team/clan has enough players

[heavy jetty]

and is the use of the microphone mandatory even as an infant? Is the chat close by?

[cyan saddle]

Generally yes.

[stoic sedge]

hi

[wind shore]

Yes

[cyan saddle]

If you're playing in an organized match then you are expected to use a microphone

[heavy jetty]

Thanks man, i need this info

[wind shore]

Even if your a screaming ape it is still generally required

[analog apex]

I consider them cheaters, but the devs obviously don't as they didn't do anything against such behavior. Sadly.

[heavy jetty]

so, I will be penalized if I do not speak.

[analog apex]

more like you won't play if that was the case

[wind shore]

You will be executed by the commander himself

[cyan saddle]

If you let the team you play for know before the start then that's no problem they can find a replacement. If you suddenly have to drop mid-match, things become more difficult. If there's no stakes, it's no big deal. If there are stakes however...

[mental fjord]

ye but i bought my pc a month ago so dont have a mic

[heavy jetty]

i have a bad micro man, there is a problem

[analog apex]

as long as you can speak, the quality doesn't play much role. It would have to be real bad.

[heavy jetty]

They kill people for not having a microphone ok ok

[analog apex]

and if it was... I guess I would regard it as you don't have a mic

[slate canopy]

Get a $10 cheap mic. Better than nothing.

[vale wraith]

why does everybody in the game has a bad mic quality including me?

[mental fjord]

wait in normal games or in some specials servers

[heavy jetty]

okey, thanks man I will keep it in mind

[analog apex]

yep, microphones / headsets are not that expensive for allowing such excuse to be used

even a cheap one is enough to serve the communication purpose

[heavy jetty]

I understand that in a normal game you must go with a microphone, in any type of game I think

[analog apex]

what do you mean by normal game?

[cyan saddle]

Counterargument. It's easy to take the moral high ground when you've already unlocked everything. Fact of the matter is that having all loadouts is highly convenient yet can take excessive and what most would consider unreasonable amounts of time. There's good reasons for people to use Bobs, regardless of it being cheesy as hell.

[heavy jetty]

Normal mode, Ranked mode right?

[analog apex]

I never used them and yet I am there at max level with everything.

so save your morality about morality for yourself pls.

[ocean karma]

Does this game do line battles???

[cyan saddle]

Yes you have excessive amounts of playtime and might as well be upset that people are using other, more faster, cheesier methods to achieve similar results as you? That's exactly the point?

[analog apex]

I have got most of my classes (including Assault) to LVL IXs and Xs by the time the trucks were not in the game yet and therefore no nodes either. I have had gone the longest path. The most legit path.

[cyan saddle]

I'm not saying you're wrong and it makes total sense for people to consider it cheating.

But you refuse to acknowledge that the amount of time you have put into the game is out of reach for 99.99% of players.

[mental fjord]

wait there’s even ranked

[heavy jetty]

Yes? i love games with ranked

[mental fjord]

since when is hll esports game

[heavy jetty]

which level

required

[analog apex]

I have all stuff on LVL X. But I don't say everybody needs every class on max. Only those they like/play. When the people cheese the system today, they usually do it all the way, not just partially.

it is not expected imo for having every class at max

I have played a lot, hence I have all of them

[mental fjord]

im confused explain please

[cyan saddle]

Getting most of the essential loadouts already takes hundreds of hours of playtime.

[mental fjord]

no i mean what does he mean in normal games or in some special role play servers or smthn

[heavy jetty]

normal servers or ranked servers

[analog apex]

if I was head of HLL development, I would make a different loadout system because I agree some loadouts are important.

However about the current system - usually such essential loadouts are at LVL III which is easy and fast to get. So where is the problem?

there are exceptions ofc

but there again, I would change the whole loadout system

[heady kernel]

therefore we should add skins like batman and skibidi toilet

[mental fjord]

your confusing me bro

[heady kernel]

to give players the true ww2 expireince

[vale wraith]

hey what do you call that bomb that you can stick to tanks for example and it explodes after 30 seconds?

[heady kernel]

satchels i think

[vale wraith]

yeaaaaah ty

[limpid parrot]

sup

[analog apex]

anyway, I have to go to bed, don't have time to discuss it right now anymore

working in the morning

[heavy jetty]

I was asking you if there was a ranked mode, and that there would be more strict use of the microphone/communication and that the microphone must be used in a random (normal) game.

[thin otter]

also had this issue for a while, now it's even more apparent the freeze takes a min or so

[agile rampart]

Now my lvl is fixed but I can’t even get into a server lol. Just stays stuck in the loading

[worn hazel]

my levels magically fixed themselvbes, will it stay this way?

[glossy jungle]

hallow

[blazing rover]

does anyone wanna play ?

[mental fjord]

idk im asking you lol

[past vortex]

all depends on the server you join, will prob need a pwd then

[limpid parrot]

this game doesn't have FSR?

[cyan saddle]

Correct

[rich atlas]

FSR?

[past vortex]

amd framegen

[rich atlas]

[pastel wedge]

Hey guys, i'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this question, but I wondered if any linux people found a way to connect to friends using the game via epic launcher? 🤔 We are having some issues finding ways to connect other than just using the server browser... or is that the only way?

[past vortex]

but they got the driverside one now, if you really want that

[oblique cargo]

Anyone having issues with VOIP status connecting? No one else seems to has this jssue

[rich atlas]

the game has a built in friend system

[rich atlas]

for me when it freezes on connecting rejoining fixed it

[jaunty walrus]

👍

[pastel wedge]

Oh, weird, didn't seem to find it earlier, i'll look a little more, thanks

[oblique cargo]

Rejoining the server or the game?

[rich atlas]

i did server but u can try both

[oblique cargo]

Tried both already, still doesn't work

[rich atlas]

could also be the server itself

[oblique cargo]

Nope, every game is like this

[rich atlas]

idk then

[oblique cargo]

Before the epic release I didn't have any issues

[pastel wedge]

You sure thats not an xbox thing? I literally don't see a friend system on PC

[rich atlas]

its the T17 friend system

[modern dawn]

tip 1: the best way to learn this game is by playing 👍

[rich atlas]

so i would assume not

it should be on the right side on the main menu

[pastel wedge]

Nope, that's an xbox/game pass thing apparently.

edit: not even game pass, just xbox

[rich atlas]

its proably made for the xbox PS crossplay then

[pastel wedge]

Yeah... still looking if anyone with linux has managed to squad up with epic players then

[ripe mountain]

Who trynna hop on rn

[ripe mountain]

You trynna play ?

[crimson bramble]

I think nobody can't squad with friends, but idk I never used that feature if it even exists

[twilit tide]

havent played in a year, main menu doesnt work if you're not on 1080p like what the actual f_ck (stupid a.s f.cuking censorship jesus christ)
game about world war 2 but you cannot use swear words in their discord? hello?

[stoic sedge]

anyone wanna join my squad

you can be SL I don't want that position

[finite berry]

lol

average player in this game

[twilit tide]

now the option to change resolution is completely gone glad to know its still buggy as fk a year later, cant even get past the main menu without being forced to play 1080p uninstalled again

[stoic sedge]

i mean I can but i'm gonna suck

[agile rampart]

Just drop the damn radio when ur SL

[pearl citrus]

Hello, been playing hll on xbox for years but just got it for PC. hoping someone can help me but the in game chat is so quite to the point i cant hear anyone i have tweeked the audio as much as i can but nothing seems to work

[pastel wedge]

Huh, out of curiosity, what is the invites button on the end of the screen for?

[rich atlas]

no way i was playing a sniper and i went behind the enemy point to the next point and they had a garrison and i managed to destroy the garrison kill the 1 dude defending it and am currently capping it solo

[wild gulch]

Hey guys, what do I do if I am "barricade banned"

[crimson bramble]

Can you screenshot it?

[indigo raptor]

Hi everyone

[crimson bramble]

Not playing rn so idk

[crimson bramble]

Average recon player

[rich atlas]

bro i just shot like 7 dudes on the point while in a bush and they didnt see me

some dude was right ontop of me aswell

they have a garrison here again but i cant get it

this is insane

[twilit tide]

game still completely broken in any resolution besides 1080p, completely incompetent horrible devs. the workload must be so difficult with one map and one dlc every 10 months

[crimson bramble]

Tell commander to do a precission attack?

[rich atlas]

theres no commander

and the spotter is the mose useless dude ever

hes been inside a bush for the past 30 minutes doing nothing

we lost our op and he did nothing

[crimson bramble]

Oh dude, you're screwed but just a little

[crimson bramble]

I'm playing on 900p and I don't have any problems for now

I have a sh*tty monitor

[frank walrus]

bro i seriously cant anymore with the newbies seriously im gonna flip out bro

[rich atlas]

killed 13 dudes including the commander while in a single bush

they spotted me and missed 3 mags while i just 1 shot both of them

[frank walrus]

they just got 6 people playing arty kicked because they cant grasp that you just DONT PUSH THE FAR END OF THE BRIDGE ON A DEFENSIVE AND YOUR ARTY IS POUNDING THE BRIDGE ITS JUST SO HARD

CAN THE DEVS PLEASE PUT OUT A MASSIVE DISCLAIMER ON STARTUP THAT THIS GAME IS NOT BATTLEFIELD

[wind shore]

I can't even complain anymore

[twilit tide]

no sht dude 900p is below 1080p

[frank walrus]

AND IT SHOULD BE PLAYED IN EVERY CONTRARY WAY TO BATTLEFIELD

[rich atlas]

the mg keeps climbing on the bunker and i keep headshotting him

they keep walking past the bush and i can just shoot and they wont see me

[unique peak]

BRO MY GAME JUST CLOSED FROM NOWHERE :SOB:

[fierce badger]

man id actually rather play league of legends than this game right now. why are there no servers being moderated for teamkilling?

[unique peak]

real

[rich atlas]

sniping in this game is to much fun cause u can shoot them and they wont know where they were shot from

[cyan saddle]

It is a console thing

[rich atlas]

if enough people punish them they get kicked if they rejoin and get punished they get banned for some time

[cyan saddle]

Epic has their own special friend system thing I believe, Steam uses Steam's own friend system

[crimson bramble]

If you want to play on a moderated server then play on a community server

Official servers are a battlefield (in both senses) rn

[oblique cargo]

Still can't fix VOIP. I deleted the app data HLL folder, verified files, tried different microphones and it still says "VOIP status: connecting..."

[rich atlas]

im sniping on a official server rn

[crimson bramble]

But yeah, I agree that they need some moderation for that besides the votekicking

[red stump]

am i a stoned idiot, or are the menus/lobbies/squads hard to figure out when you're first starting? like how do i join an existing group on the server?

[fierce badger]

ive yet to find a community server with mods active enough to do anything. most take an hour or more to respond

[red stump]

kept putting me by myself with a officer role i couldn't change

[oblique cargo]

Is there any way I can open a support ticket? Or any way to find a proper fix for my issue?

[crimson bramble]

And you're awesome my friend 👌

Keep up the good job

[rich atlas]

if u create a squad u get locked to the lead role

same with recon u get locked to the spotter role when u create a squad

[red stump]

ah ok, that's probably what i was doing then

all the other squads were likely full on that server then?

[rich atlas]

bro HOW DO THEY NOT SEE ME

[red stump]

sorry to the gerrys that got stuck with me :P

[obsidian pelican]

i’ve tried to and only got automated responses :/

[rich atlas]

Im legit in a bush they keep walking a meter infront of me

[oblique cargo]

What should I do then. I can't use voice chat, so leading a squad is next to impossible now

[blazing rover]

Anyone tryna play ? I’m still learning roles and stuff

[obsidian pelican]

i’ve tried every possible fix i could think of and had absolutely no luck, guess i’ll wait for the next update as others have mentioned it also

[crimson bramble]

Squads have 6 players limit. If, for example, Baker have a "6/6" right next to the name then you can't join. Also there are some ppl that block their squads to play with friends or just doing dumb sheit

[pearl citrus]

is everyone just quite as hell for you? think im having the same issue

[crimson bramble]

So you can't enter the blocked squads but you can request an invitation to the leader to join up

[oblique cargo]

No. Voip connected status just says connecting then says disconnected after a while.

[rich atlas]

bro i had teh best position and then i die to a friendly bombingrun

[thick panther]

join a unit #pc-looking-for-unit then communicate via discord is the best alternative I could think of until it get fixed

Clear the cache, verify game files etc

[idle hawk]

what do dlcs add to this game? can I have full experience without them

[rich atlas]

its just cosmetics

[thick panther]

you must be sure the issue is not with the mic itself

[thick panther]

Just to look cool

[oblique cargo]

All other games VOIP works, and it used to work on HLL before the update.

[thick panther]

so like fortnite

[oblique cargo]

Fortnite, squad, battlefield, Ron

[thick panther]

So it's on their behalf

[oblique cargo]

Battlebit and other games, so it's definitely not a problem on my end

[wind shore]

im having trouble opening game on pc rn

when i click on the screen that says 'press any button to start' nothing happens

[red stump]

thanks for the learning, fellow gamers! i do think the game is a bit crap without coms or a group

[wind shore]

my laptop is basically a potato so it could be that tbh

[wind shore]

'greetings, fellow cool kids! very swag and cool!' ahh

[rich atlas]

can still be fun

i love going a solo squad cause no one talks and then doing some artillery

record so far is a 97 kill streak with artillery

was amazing

[red stump]

yeah, once i learn more and know wtf im doing im sure it'll be more enjoyable

[rich atlas]

just gotta find what you like doing

[red stump]

but running around with a sub gun down the street looking for machine guns was a bad time

[ocean river]

The kill counts are for stat padding at this point

[rich atlas]

yeah running and gunning does not work in this game

[rich atlas]

tbf with artillery kill count can be hadny

you can tell the commander to f off when he says "get off ur useless"

"ur wasting ammo"

nuh uh

[quick ibex]

there u go, add a filter for ping, and send the player to the server with the best ping available

[red stump]

Indeed, fellow milsim enjoyers!

[wind shore]

based

[rich atlas]

the most effective way to play this game and the most enjoyable is in a squad taht communicates and staying together

[red stump]

free-based

i am not low

[rich atlas]

my most enjoyable game was defending on offensive mode as a squad leader and having a squad that actually listens. We won the defense by holding 1 position the entire game only being pushed back once they got armor there at the last second. tbf it was bad for them cause it was the snowy map with a huge field across the map infront of 1 point where mgs can just fire on any infantry

[ocean river]

Those kinds of maps require tank support

[rich atlas]

yeah and they didnt push up with infantry

there was a light tank mowing our mgs down but it had no use cause no infantry pushed up

and they just got blown up anyway

[storm stratus]

some of the maps are just hell to push. But thats what makes it great. The push feels more real

[rich atlas]

and at the end thats when they started actually pushing

[strong vault]

some servers don't appear in hll browser

but in steam browser they do

[rich atlas]

Always makes me wonder: Why not just instantly push together then before the game ends??

[strong vault]

i checked all filters.. anyone know how to fix ?

[rich atlas]

yeah

it also shows that this game requires teamwork

[storm stratus]

Finding rhythm or flow or other words weak points sometimes takes time.

[rich atlas]

Yeah but they just psuhed up all their tanks and infantry and actually beat us which means they were actually able to push us if they wanted to. They just didnt do it

[storm stratus]

Probably lacked good communication and leadership. This game is beautiful for the advantage comms brings

[rich atlas]

Hm ive noticed that before when the commander switches

Ive had a commander leave when we were losing and then i became commander and we slowly pushed

we had a great heavy tank squad aswell

[stark tundra]

Anybody know what's in the 47.3 MB Steam patch I'm dl'ing?

[rich atlas]

probably just a tiny bugfix or smthing

that doesnt require an entire log

[wispy bear]

algum br pra jogar ?

[pulsar fulcrum]

[midnight nacelle]

I was actually in hospital this weekend just gone, treated now and on the mend, I hope to catch you guys this weekend!

I'll be dropping in sporadically throughout the week on both PC and Console as I love newbies! 🙂

[pulsar fulcrum]

[gleaming hemlock]

[ocean river]

You gotta get out of the hospital bed and PLAY now’s the GREATEST time to farm bluberries

[ocean river]

No

[midnight nacelle]

Just an infection of sorts. - Much better now!

[gleaming hemlock]

glad to hear it

[ocean river]

Never heard of .303 or 8mm penetrating tanks before

[midnight nacelle]

I am a Machine that turns BlueBerries into Dogs of War, and Enemy Strawberries into smoothies! 🥤

[pulsar fulcrum]

i mean if u try hard enough u can penatrate a tank with anything

[sturdy quarry]

crazy to open the floodgates without a tutorial - only one chance to make a first impression

[ocean river]

Then you would be there all day

Just grab AT

[pulsar fulcrum]
