Beta testing, you don’t want that one
aww fuck
Public testing is testing a beta build of a new patch before it's set to go live
Mostly for bug testing
Luckily HLL is a very simple game once you put some time into it, you'll get the hang of it pretty quick
The games at its absolute best when people actually communicate
what if they dont
But half my games people pick squad leader just not to speak
If they don't speak, leave
wtf
At least the unit if not the server
People don’t speak in squad, join different squad
i just want a fun shooter
Then it's hardcore BF with infinitely more frustration until you're confident by yourself
Communication is a must in this game
^
This game is fun but it's definitely a bit less "any size fits all" than say battlefield or COD
It's a lot of fun but your best bet is to find some friends who play it as well and devote time to play together to ensure maximum communication and teamwork
A good squad lead won't talk your ear off btw; I usually give occasional updates to my squad instead of trying to manage them. Works out well, most of the time.
Don't be afraid to mute people if they're annoying you. Yes, communication is key, but constant chatter is legitimately detrimental
oh its publish by the worms guys
Yeah. Interesting catalogue that Team17 has now 😂
On PC? Unlocked.
Hi
oh maybe just the menus then
Is there custom games on PC? If so do you think it will ever come to console?
When you say custom, do you mean like private servers, or like custom game modes?
Private servers sorry
uhmm how do i setup the mic
There are private servers that you can rent out; most of the clans have multiple. I would hope it'd make its way to console if it hasn't already
Cheers mate, thanks for that and yeah I hope it comes to console in the future.
is the game cross platform ?
aww
Pc would have a lot of advantages over console on this game lol
Tbf PC players would absolutely destroy console players in this game
newish player (lv20) looking to learn spotter/sniper gameplay. any experienced CO want to recon platoon with a responsive player?
I thought it was cross platform for PC and Console?
Damn
i got shot
No, only consoles with each other. I wouldn't want to subject console players to getting one tapped at 100m-200m with ease from PC players
Thats true tbh
Kinda wish I never got rid of my pc but ah well
Armour units are always pretty trash
Damn I need help with this game lol
It's a running and then getting shot from some unknown location simulator for me..
I thought being decent at battlefield would help me.. I was wrong
It will, just not with that particular issue
Lol fair
I mainly play BF/CoD btw. I recommend running while crouching, as it reduces your silhouette and is not really too much slower than sprinting. Also, taking your time and surveying where you want to run to before doing it can help prevent quite a few deaths, as you're looking for enemies. Obviously, callouts from other players and map markers help, but you generally don't want to just run somewhere. You're also probably going to die A LOT if you're trying to attack an objective, as defenders are usually using sightlines instead of moving around. That's why I prefer to play defensive, because running and dying over and over can get boring for me.
You can use smokes, too, just please don't run into the smoke.
Any person with an MG that has two brain cells to rub together is going to just dump a belt into it and probably kill everyone in it
SOME GUY Pick me up and 2 sec late i saw his body explode into peices right beside me 10/10!!
Also, you can use your teammates to gauge where the enemy might be by watching when they die in front of you and listening for the shot if you can hear it LOL
Yeah same lmao 😂😂 I was playing the bf42 beta and bf just aint a squad based game unless you reallt want it to be
the bf3 or 4 had this squad rush gamemode, that was actually the best 4v4v4v4
Yeah musta been bf3 lol I only became a fan around that time
First time I played it was battlefield 4 beta
I remember playing in shanghai
Most epic stuff I ever seen
Can anyone answer how many people on cap zone matter?
Does the chart mean only 3 players matter?
Well
if you're in the sector you count as one person
if you're in the strongpoint you count as three people
Long time no see
Enigma that depends on game type
What happened to supporters mess hall?
Offense mode has no sector points
nobody plays offensive 
So how many count in the cap zone?
It says more soldiers will not make it go faster
So more than 3 is useless?
for all intents you count as one person in the strongpoint on offensive
Yes I understand that part.
all you need is a simple majority in order to start capping
A person can count as +1 or +3 score
BUT what is the MAX
Does that question make sense?
150 I guess if all 50 people are in the strongpoint
Bruh
yes
Can anyone else clear up what cap numbers actually are?
Wow this place has changed
idk how else to make it more clear
Cause if having more than 3 people on cap is just a waste, it’d be nice to know
@warm knot you’re wrong bud
More bodies in circle = ez dub, bossman
He literally said there is no max of people on cap lmao
Picture says otherwise
More people faster cap
if you have 5 friendlies in the sector outside the strongpoint and 2 guys in the strongpoint then:
(5 x 1) + (2 x 3) = 11 cap power
Oh nvm not faster
I understand the math bro
More people=more cap weight
I’m asking the max people that matter on cap
More people=enemy needs more people to stop you from capping
Also commander can improve that with reinforce ability
There is no max
30 more than the enemy in the zone is max cap speed I think
So a neutral cap would be 30 points max
Every person on point gives more cap weight, meaning enemies have to get more people on it to stop you from capping
So 10 players inside a point
That’s it
it just tells you how much cap power each side has
Enigma please stop
live in ignorance, see if I give a fuck
I’m asking cap and you say there is none
It’s literally more people on cap=harder for enemies to stop you from capping
There is no max limit
it's not that hard to understand
For example
Take your team, put more of them on a point than the enemy, experience bountiful Ws heading your way
Big dubs, nephew
So if the cap is 30 max, 10 players inside circle point is the fastest you can cap a point.
Any more are useless
2 minutes to capture a neutral point with the minimum amount of people on it. More people will not speed it up, but they will make enemies require more people to stop you from capping
the cap is not 30 max
It says so on the pic
the cap speed is always the same
That’s literally it lol
The game mechanics aren’t that complex
Yes that’s it
You aren’t understanding what I’m asking then
Speed is always 2 minutes
🔫
Doesn’t matter how many people
cap speed is always the same
Have more people on point than the enemy, you cap in two minutes. You can't cap any faster than two minutes, no matter what
Number of people only affects how many enemies are needed to stop you from capping
using the bars you can get a rough estimate of how many enemies are in the sector
Yes it looks like once there is more than 30 people from each team in the zone, you would have to kill enemy to under 30 of them in order to continue capping
Going by that guide, yes
Going by the guide they just checked and produced
No one reads into cap strength in-game, just presence of men with firearms
Yes
Yeah people are reading into the game mechanics way too much
Yes, anyone can dumb down. Moar people = cap
Whether that's right or not, I don't know, because I just thrown nades and tea bag dead bodies while capping :)
It’s literally just run, shoot, stand on point until win
You must be a rifleman
all that is required to start capping a sector is to have at least one more cap power than the enemy
The mechanics are explained with way too much nuance when the game is literally outkill and outrun the enemy
the cap power theoretical max is 150
Says you
10 people on a neutral point to maximize cap strength, any more are useless
you can have 3 bars with 30 people on the point or 6
asks for clarification from veterans who understand the game in and out
gets an explanation
"no ur wrong"
Man good luck getting 10 people to stand on the point lmao
I asked for clarification on cap weight, not how to cap an objective
And not “well you just have more on point”
I literally explained it all
Have people on PC figured out how to plug in their mic’s yet or is the game still silent?
You said no max, and that’s wrong cause you can’t show me anywhere you got that info
When I'm going balls deep in an objective, I'm not doing math to determine my cap weight, I'm using lead to decrease the enemy's weight yfm
Yes, we cleared that up
cap
weight
has
no
max
Bro you’re just throwing out that there’s no max without proof
theoretical max of 150, ja?
yes
He’s right
practically, there is no max
Lots of cap in here tho yfm
Nah 1 guy spouting random stuff and idiots backing him up
you're never going to get 50 guys in a strongpoint so talking about a max is just theoretical
He’s been here since it left early access, maybe even earlier than that. He knows what he’s talking about
If he says something, he’s usually right if it’s about HLL
I came in right after early access was released
bro enigma and I have both been here years before it left EA
clearly not a thing
I was here since U7 or U6 I think
this is reeeeeally basic shit
Yeah
talking about a max is just theoretical
Asking for numbers and people just go reeeeee
all that really matters is having at least one more cap power than the enemy
being given numbers and not understand them and going reeeeee
Lol
There’s a clear reason because if say:
you get no benefit after 5 people capping
More cap power = doing the whip and nae nae on the enemy and securing the bag
You do though
You get more cap power, meaning enemies need more on point to stop you
That’s the benefit
Speed is always 2 minutes as well
People on point only make it harder for enemies to stop you from capping
case closed
do you want the cap power formula
can we stop beating this horse to death?
doesnt look dead enought to me
I'm gonna crush this horse to death with my cap weight of 150
it’s 150
Again no proof
Assuming you can get the whole team on the point lmao
tell me you failed mathematics without actually saying you failed mathematics
assuming literally every single one of them is on the strongpoint
You’re just assuming you can have more than 30 cap strength
if that was the case then a team would be able to stop all cap attempts if they have 10 guys in the strongpoint if 30 was the max cap power
@steep girder settle a debate?
Basically shoot bad guys, stand on point, epic win,
is there a hardcap on capping power?
Then do it again
so basically if the enemy has one person on the cap, you need at least 15 people on the cap to capture?
Yeah or just kill them
Also it might not work like that
strongpoint multiplier is 3x, not 15x
I’m pretty sure it’s just the number, not the chevrons
oh yeah the multiplier
Chevrons are just the visual representation of roughly how much cap strength
Everyone on the point counts
What harmonic said, is there a hard cap on actual capping power vs what we see
the theoretical limit is 150, we've been over this
HLL theory masterclass
lol
You probably don’t even know there’s anti suppression
Math isn’t important
Depending on who you stand next to
Suppression is a joke anyways lol
Anti suppression, not suppression
yOu prObAbLy DoN'T eVeN KnOW tHeRE's AntI SUppResSiOn
Math is for nerds and for people who don't get holy yields by stacking bodies
Coming from “just stand in the point”
Anti suppression isn’t even useful because of how bad suppression is
anyone that pays attention knows suppression can be mitigated by standing next to medics or SLs
it has to be chevrons on whether or not your capturing the point, otherwise it would never be stalled
Literally HLL gameplay though
Stand on point
Win
Don’t use your mic for bonus points
And always play rear as recon
if the cap power limit was 30 then you've have stalemates all the time
10 v 10 would cause that, yes
Imagine every game running the timer down 🤮
if you put 30 guys from one team and 31 guys from the other team in the same sector outside of the strongpoint, the team with 31 players would have the higher cap power and would start capping. 30 is not the cap power limit
Do bodies on the ground still affect cap strength or did they take that out
they do not affect cap power
then why are point stalmates so common?
they really aren't
They are
and even if they werent
then if it was just players
there would almost never be stalemates
Trading back and forth? Maybe. Complete stalemates? Pretty rare to be longer than a minute or two
stalemates are nowhere near the norm
Oh chum is here
simple
majority
rules
(with magic thrown in)
great, now we can put that issue to bed
alright
guide isn’t wrong, just misleading
Just want to know if there’s an actual hardcap
there just isn’t a chevron that represents any intervals higher than 30
Vs imaginary numbers
we have no evidence that there is a hardcap
"imaginary numbers" = simple math, got it
Lol
Man I forgot how fun this place is
So much arguing over some basic stuff lmao
until a dev confirms it’s just best guess speculation
That’s like saying the entire team could shoot you at the same time and do 10000000 damage
ezpz
When in reality it caps at 100 and all the rest is extra
you could test it out if you had 100 people all on the same page
our best guess is there is no technical hardcap, but a theoretical effective hardcap of 150 based on max player counts per team
I would need to reinstall game but I’d be in to try it
If we are actually gonna test it lol
Devs, descend from thine golden cloud and enlighten this goon
Yes, please enlighten us if there is a hard cap or not
jam prob sleepin, I’ll ask him tomorrow
Because apparently it’s a dumb question to the troglodytes
Wow he used a big word
I can shorten it to trogs
why use big word when clown face do trick?
can you shorten the whole sentence to nothing at all
Rambunctious
Indeed, this particular biological organism displays signs of agitation
Certainly has gumption
Asks valid question, get stupid answers
Switch the stupid and valid and it’s correct
when in doubt, deny all terms and definitions
You aren’t seeing it from an SL perspective so that’s ok
asks valid question, gets well thought out answers, proceeds to insult the answerers
I’d like to know hard cap to have optimum people on cap
You guys think it would be beneficial to introduce some sort of cap logic that requires teams to first secure their defense zone of enemies before the attack objective actually caps when you get it to 100%?
Kind of like a "secure defense first before team can advance onto next capzone" sort of thing
the optimum number is everyone
Optimal is stacking more bodies than the enemy on point, why are you trying 4D-chess this
shave balls first
It would mitigate the stupid, "we're 1 pixel ahead of them, screw defense now"
This game is checkers, bro
people act like it's chess
that’s wizards chess
@next oasis verdun/tannenburg had a nice system where you had to not only cap the objective but “secure it” before allowed to push on
Probably one of the best battlefield game movements in all current games
don't make me flex my squad leader level 10 on you
🪒 🎊
where do I go to flex my lvl10 sniper
lol
i assume literally anywhere on the map
considering
Spade how was your experience
You
aren't seeing 👀 this 👇 from a SL
perspective 🤯 so that's ok 👌
did you obtain optimal cap weight?
Lmao
i dont know what it means
i love when you have a 15min match because your just hopelessly overrun
87 that means you got a few kills
yeah i shot some guys
Did that change or is it still like that
87 is your cap weight
get out
your cap weight is multiplied by 10 for every paid DLC you own
ive had varying experiences. sometimes everyone does and others no one does
Honestly this feels like something that could be in game
man id be killin it, I bought a dlc key off a pissed off Kickstarter
Damn that sucks, guess I'll stick with PS for now
only thing I don’t have is that skull helmet
One day maybe
Black matter backer helmets are nice
id buy max a few more sterling silver rings for one
I'm gonna go in-game and start asking the commander about cap strength, no 🧢
Please do, it’d be nice to hear from someone with a real answer
Commander: "Cap strength? Math? Stop being a nerd and sit on the point and kill people."
You say math but then don’t understand there can be max values
can't wait until jambax comes in here and smacks you down
Every support can give you ammo but can you hold 10000 rounds? No
I had a commander last night that was micromanaging everything like he was reading a flowchart.
What's 50x3
Was exhausting
That's your max
The machinegunner has something like that lmao
50x3 is your max unless the game somehow gets more than 50 players in a team
the machinegunner at one point carried more than an entire tank
You’re just assuming dude
why do you think there’s a max
crack open a math textbook sometime
Your mom can carry more than an entire tank
You could fire constantly for like 5 minutes lol
Their own weight system stops at 30
That sounds fucking awesome
no it doesn’t
this man doesn't know what a greater than symbol is
it says anything above 30 is three chevrons
The max cap strength of one singular player is 3. You can have 50 players on a team, max. 50x3 is 150, which is theoretical and probably will never be realized in any actual match outside of testing.
So I’d imagine stops at 30 (10 guys) then extras don’t matter unless one of the weighted point makers die
This dude is drinking out of cups right now, bro, omg
[artillery rubbing their hands when they know 50 guys are within a strongpoint]
tell me what >30 means
Me tbh
Again, I’m asking if there is a max weight to capping
no
BUT YOU DONT KNOW
GREATER
THAN
SYMBOL
GOOGLE IT
tell me why you’re stuck on 30
mfw I just wanna play arty after watching that monoespacial video on it and I get spawn camped for 500 years
30
Lol why does asking if there’s a max cap weight make no sense
Literally greentexting >30 rn. The chevron is for 30 cap strength or higher, bruv
Instead of making up “there no limit”
because the question is predicated on you misunderstanding what >30 means
because there's no evidence to suggest that anyone has ever reached the max cap weight in a game
look, just spawn bomb the point. That's all you have to do to win 99% of the time
If you can get an entire team on one point you deserve that shit
This guy really activating my almonds rn
So if you don’t know the actual answer, don’t give me a bs reply about how it’s 150
Easy as that
BRO, please
You DONT KNOW
50x3, PLEASE
YoU DoN't KnoW
you said this
“So I’d imagine stops at 30 (10 guys) then extras don’t matter unless one of the weighted point makers die”
WHAT'S THE ANSWER
GO BACK TO SCHOOL
Yes harmonic
why do you think it stops at 30?
WHAT IS 50 TIMES 3
Yes so anything above 30 isn’t weighted but counts as a body
🍿
what it means is they didn’t create a fourth chevron for the next interval
👀
And so I ask what the max weight cap is
🤦♂️
If someone can show where it says none then I’ll take that
Hello, HLL Discord, yes, I'd like to discuss >30, please
dude I need you to understand that something is very wrong with your brain
If not it could stop at say 60
Which still only shows 3 bars
How does that not make sense
here bro, I found the perfect video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFsQA2Zvy1o
it does, but look - literally everything after you assuming max cap weight is 30 is pure equivocation
So then I ask what the max is
greater and less than symbols are motherfucking pre algebra
But just get assumed values
If you can show me where the actual max is 150 I’ll take it
Someone ping a dev, this is dire information
Just get some assumed stacked bodies on the point, bro
understand that since your original sentiment is based on you not knowing what >30 means, literally everything after that is pure cap
That’s what I said
by cap, I mean bullshit
Everything after 30 is just bodies
and not cap power 🙂
Pure 🧢
ye
there is no reason to assume there is a hard cap
So we say “I do not know”
mfw this whole conversation
consider this
Yes egnima mr 150
for there to be a hard cap
the would have had to add one intentionally
ask yourself why they would do that
vs
not doing that
Have you thought to ping a dev?
Have you thought 50x3
I mean it’s a legit question
There we go. Problem solved.
maybe danny can dunk on this guy
"idk, just spawn bomb the point"
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@dawn widget Danny my darling, do you know if there’s a hardcap on cap weight?
or if it’s just a theoretical maximum of 150 (50 players * 3)
https://tenor.com/view/despicable-me-minions-kiss-kisses-gif-4421428
Might be best to ask Jambax to be honest...
Please, it would be nice
I’m also curious because of the different way caps works on the two modes
offensive is a simple majority within the circle
🤔
Yes I know this, I’m talking about the weight
As it pertains to the two game modes and differences in cap areas
Offensive only the strongpoint ⭕️ counts as +3 whereas warfare, the squares around the strongpoint count as +1
no
Carry the 9, take out the 2
there is no sector dominance in offensive
the squares around the strongpoint in offensive = 0
do most people play this game on a console?
Uhhhhhhh, maybe? It just came out and console is a bigger market, but it's hard to say without player counts from console
Pretty healthy on Steam for what it is
yeah i play on PC but i noticed here and the Reddit are both mainly focused on console
Console's been aching for some hardcore shooters like this since the PS2/Xbox era, so it makes sense that it'd be popular on console.
Sandstorm is the same way rn
I've been waiting since op flashpoint red River on my 360
It's a shame that sandstorm is last gen only and the update will come out somewhere in 2022 but I'm more than happy with HLL. Love the setup
I'm amazed that Sandstorm on console even came out in the first place
nice name yuri 
True that. HLL could use similar implementation of the proxy chat tho
Hunt Showdown on console looks good, glad Crytek got that figured out
Now if they could just figure out their servers
Yeah, game is doing really well right now too
Hopefully this signals a rise in the interest towards more realistic and tactical shooters
I was level designing Star Wars Coruscant on UE4, needed a break and gave this a go and I’m now addicted
Damn ight thanks for letting me know
No worries
2/50 there are 2 recon units
Oh my bad
nah it's cool
You can tell this fucking game had ZERO play testing whatsoever for console before it’s release
This game is amazing by all means but all of these fucking bugs and issues like come on man
Every 15-20 minutes if it isn’t an error code, I can’t hear the fucking game chat whatsoever
And if it ain’t that, it’s an XP bug
And if it ain’t that, it’s all 3

Wait you guys are getting to play at all? Lol I can't even get past picking my squad and errors left and right. They definitely have hit xbox harder an it kinda seems put us back of line in priority. From all my friends around here they are all having same issue and haven't even gotten to try the game. Haven't heard anything about Xbox from them either
If this shit isn’t fixed within a week maybe less, the entire fan base for this game will cease to exist on console
Nah
People will still play it
Hell, plenty of people were always complaining about the game and kept playing it lmao
I can almost guarantee that won’t last long if it ain’t fixed
Majority of my friends list who have this game are already quitting for the time being until it’s fixed
Was hoping to be able to play tonight
Guess not, as I'm on Xbox
lost all of my progress
I've uninstalled and am reinstalling in an attempt to fix it
**For PC players
I'm not seein a fix for my issue
Are you getting the "No Compatible Servers Found" dialog when you go to Enlist?
@sinful zephyr Official workaround in #telegrams
thankyou @prime cedar
Is there a roadmap for planned updates?
ye
Where can I find it?
Boop
Pc though so potato potato
Devs don’t love us enough to give console roadmap
Xbox:
We get no love
Can't choose our maps, and there's a few other things we can't do.
I just want to get xp lmao
Right
Same
I just did
15 games in and still lvl 1 haha
I'd like to get that nifty Xbox symbol next to my name
Ah, got it
Hows everyone on console enjoying? Im finding it very mixed atm. Ps5. Dont get me wrong the mechanics and game is brilliant but the people....i struggle. 3 out of 4 games involves me joining a squad with no squad leader so naturally gotta show these folk how its done only to get tked on purpose. I dno.
TBH I like the game when there is communication and I dislike it when there is not
Agreed. It makes it so much better. Yesterday was fantastic though. A commander was calling it out all good. Asking for arty. Armour support squads to flank and all sorts it was fantastic..but that was a one off.

I have a blast with this game whenever I get put in a unit with friendly people, unfortunately it usually takes 20-60 minutes and a lot of unit swapping for that to happen...
Each Player = 1 Cap point
Strongpoint = +2 Cap points per-player
Reinforce = 150% cap power
So without reinforce, 150 max power if you're all in the strongpoint. With reinforce, 225 power if all in strongpoint.
I didn't think it was possible, but I have a lower expectation of your average HLL player now than I did before reading this debate
What about those odd times you can get 51 players on a team?
Anyone want to play Hell Let Loose…looking for a team who will take the game seriously, such as the roles and work as a team. Have anxiety and depression, so prefer to keep the comms to business. I can download on PS5 but I will buy it on PC if it’s much better.
Recommend PC if you want actual teamwork, by the sound of things
And if you just want business comms, your best bet is to join established community server and join with squads with community tags
Any suggestions on servers? First time playing but whenever I play games like Tarkov, or anything requiring teamwork, I take the game seriously (not in sense I yell and scream at people for messing up, just don’t like dinking around when I play)…like to get the job done and win
Picture that shows I take gaming fairly serious. If you know of any servers, or channels here, let me know
Ignore that file…I don’t know why it did that, it’s a photo from my phone. Sorry about that
Then it would be higher, but we've been considering more strict enforcement of the per-team limits for a while now.
Great, thanks Jambax. Good to have you on again
hello i hope alls well.. i appreciate this may not be the place, but im mac user and im wanting to play pc games. Is parallel the best thing to play pc games or is there cheaper or better alternatives? i would quite like to play this game 🙂
Hardcap please 🙏
nice setup
hi cats
Good day, comrades. Our clan is recruiting a foreign corps to participate in event events between other communities and for joint games in public. We also have our own personal server where you can level up your class. Have questions? Write to me in a personal. Sorry for my English, it's very bad 🙂
Look up Darkside RP. It was promoted by devs in #telegrams a while back. I hear they are into roleplaying so they take the game seriously.
... as they pair their experience on the frontline with authentic and fun role-playing - Orders must be followed, rank respected...
lmao
Add Christ0hell on psn pal. Im trying to get as many players who use a mic as possible
get dunked on lmao
Anyone playing ? QUEITBUTCHER 915 xbox .add me
Anyone else getting 'network error has occurred' when trying to get pasted the main menu? Just brought the game and I can't even play
Anyone playing on ps5
I mean it’s really up to you, I find the concept of a mil sim a little weird if wanted to play on console
I just did and kept hitting find match currently looking for one
They are currently working to fix but not sure when they’ll have it patched
That's the the thing, I can't find a match or doing anything, can't get pasted the main menu to do anything
Ah
It finally let me in
@sacred oak yes mate constantly
Is there a chat for people who are looking for a milsim/hll reenactment group
Hi everyone we have just opened a discord, if you need some tank support all you have to do is drop a message in the chat https://discord.gg/BA2DJfuA
Unless I'm completely mistaken, there is a big ass tank community Discord somewhere already...
Pls link it if you can
its called the HLL Tank Community or something I was in it a short while ago
pretty quiet but its vetted properly as you need to post a screencap of lvl 8 TC/Crewman to get the role
@spice tartan thanks bud but Iam going to make my own to
Yeah of course just linking it
Its also PC based
Thank you
So one way to distinguish yours is to specify its console-based
🙏
Hey all, I'm new here and will be getting my boots on tomorrow
any NA pc players wanna group up?
Is it also cross play with pc
im so shit at the game but i just like running about
heavens no
seeing all the bunkers fires and gliders
sometimes i just watch the artillery because it looks cool
Question what does a bunker look like fully upgraded? I’ve seen the barricade gets upgraded to a sandbags/brick window sight but I’m curious what a bunker looks like upgraded
U.S
US is top, axis is bottom
Seems like a lot of resources gotta be invested into that😆
quite a bit
yeah if they're placed intelligently
appreciate the answers
surely
I've very rarely seen a fully upgraded bunker wow
and I dont think I've ever seen a fully upgraded US one
The bunkers and defenses are unironically insanely advantageous if you have any semblance of a brain
some maps like utah and SME are extremely good for such
Maps like carentan and stalingrad are good too just a bit less viable
They're great if you can actually get supplies
Hi guys new to HLL. Huge WW2 buff. Looking for some good communicators to play with tonight, show me the ropes, and maybe make some friends 🤷♂️
I didn’t know you could upgrade them 0_0
I’m new as well down to play whenever eh
Check out #console-looking-for-unit if you haven’t already
BF2042 refugee here and new to PC, switching from console. Interested in HLL and it's on sale, anyone down to show me the ropes if I buy it tonight?
Need assistance. Mic works in lobby, not in game. PS5
Welcome, lots of BF refugees here.
Check out #pc-divisions-recruitment and find some locals, makes life much easier :)
thanks!
hey guys new player to hell let loose im in NA and a pc player
Welcome mate, best recommendation is above. Find a local community and say hi. Makes the game far more enjoyable
Welcome to the Battlefield game you all wanted and needed deep down ❤️ I'm feeling much the same
2042 beta has some brainless fun to be had but getting into HLL has shown me just how unrewarded other popular MP shooters have left me feeling for a while now. Looking forward to seeing y'all in the field
where do I start
who wants to teach some noobs
Not sure whether this is the right place to ask, but I see mods… so, would it be sensible to change the “summon mod” emoji from the little guy saluting? Many people currently use it out of context. If you have it wired up to a bot, I expect you’re getting spammed unnecessarily and this will continue, forever.
The emoji doesn't actually summon mods
It's just a regular emoji I requested a while back the compliment to summon Devs emoji

Check the pinned messages for some good guides. Recommend reading the new player guide
Console or PC?
Ok, good to know. Will use
instead anyway as the other one is probably confusing to someone who knows what it means.
hey guys ive got a quick question
how much of the game is running? for example, i play a lot of rising storm vietnam, which is mainly action. How does it compare to HLL?
a lot
id say most of ur match is gonna consist of running from point A to point B at any given time
how many kills per match is average?
that being said, its not just a running simulator - I assure you it is fun
that depends on what you do what you play, and of course your skill.
Id say average 15-20 for any regular role. A good sniper could rack up 50. A good tank crew could get 100 or more.
And an artillary player can easily go over a hundred in a match
and matches are how long?
if any of you have played squad, how does the run-to-action ratio compare?
squad has a lot of running, arma3 even more so. where does HLL fit in?
1 hour to 90 mins
If your squad leader places an outpost or a garrison in the good position, close to the objective ? Almost no run. If not, it’s more than squad, less than arma
are squad leaders generally capable of actually playing the game?
I can only speak for PS but they are slowly better and better 🙂
Launch day last week was cardio day, only run, almost no garrison. Today ? Much, much better
ok sick
it's a bit off-putting hearing that you only get 15-20 kills per match, while a RS2 match might have 60 kills on average
but i think ill buy the game anyway since it seems sick
thanks y'all
it could be an inaccurate number, this is my personal estimate and im a pretty shit infantry player myself, I stick to tanking mostly.
but yeah id still encourage getting the game seeing whats up
if you're really hesitant id wait for a free weekend, theyre somewhat frequent
last one was about a month ago so i dont expect a free weekend for another 1-2 months
I played engineer last night and really struggled to build any nodes because trucks wouldn't spawn. Do I have to beg the commander to spawn one for me? Also can I only build one of each node? I am wondering if it is worth moving them up the map if so.
are there other ways to get supplies?
Support guys can drop 50. The supply truck respawns eventually but it takes a while. Commander can respawn one and can also drop some by air, but that makes your position really interesting to the enemy
Trucks do spawn automatically, but the quickest way is for the commander to spawn.
Yes, you can only build one of each node.
No, there is no point in moving them up. The best way is to ask for the commander to drop supplies in the HQ twice so you can have all nodes built for 150 (200 dropped)
HQ nodes don't produce as much though, the video said 3rd and 4th rows were best to start with
oh interesting. and i found the spawn truck can't drop the cargo supplies in the first two rows so do you mean ask the commander to air drop supplies to HQ for the nodes then use the 300 supplies on the truck for fortifications?
i must say that does take out some of the tactical risk reward of playing engineer if everyone is just going to build in HQ
maybe they should buff the AoE effects on the nodes to encourage people to build them up field
or take a subtler approach to output rates
The game doesn't do a very good job at managing risk Vs reward
Even before, you'd mostly just have one squad off in the middle of nowhere building nodes with no enemies in 200m, except those enemies who are also building nodes
just dead zones in the map that nobody ever fights?
still commanders could bring in air strikes
Well hopefully no one ever knew you were there
You'd occasionally see like 6 people off on the other side of the map via a recon plane, and you'd know that their nodes were there
thanks for the help. i'll try and have a more productive match this time
No problem :)
Is anyone on console able to get a match without constant rubber banding? Not sure if it’s me or their servers…can’t get a match with low latency or without crazy banding
what is "Banding" ?
which locations are OK for placing nodes, and which are not ?
also, where can I drop supplies from the supply track, and where can I not?
the message just says "cannot drop there" without any reason
sometimes the truck is bugged where you cant place it at all just get out or let it get destroyed so you can get a new one
It's not bugged, there is just something behind the truck blocking the box drop. Duh.
yes or maybe that
Only in HQ. Nowhere else.
HQ sector?
Yes.
Anywhere else is waste of time and resources. Node meta is dump & forget.
With a bit of teamwork you can finish making nodes in less than 3 minutes, during the warmup time.
@slim fractal just to clarify - HQ sector is OK for placing nodes, or NOT ok?
Is OK
and if OK, why other sectors is a waste of time and resources, if i.e. we are planning on using artillery heavily and will need lots of munitions?
Only in HQ, nowhere else, like I said.
- one engineer can build 1 set of nodes (=1 of each type =3)
- total node limit per team is 9 (3 each)
- income is +10/min, no matter where you build (even in HQ)
Further, if you lose a sector, you lose the node. If you lose your HQ sector your game is over anyway. HQ sector almost guarantees they'll stay standing for 90 minutes
The +30/min total seems low
I wouldn’t disagree that it seems low, but it really adds up/helps
Considering the minimum/default is 30/min
Maximum gain is +60/min if all the nodes are done.
Commander's "Encourage" ability boosts resource gain with another 30 for 5 minutes so at best resource gain +90/min.
commander also has the ability to call in without cost
I forget the name but it gives you gain on muni/fuel
last stand gives you no resource drain for a few minutes
also you can use magic to gain resources by spamming the resource convert abilities
can someone help me lol
With?
i got it taken care of, i just needed to see if my new mic was working
Ah easy as
last stand and encourage are the meta
the game turns off my ps5 sometimes, any idea if its a bug with the game or something?
probably best asking in #console-general-chat more likely someone is familiar with console release
you can get the role by clicking
or
in #readme-rules
manual says 10 base and then +5 for every sector cumulative
That's the old system
Stop quoting me outdated manuals, please.
manual is outdated
alr thanks
Why would I be here stating false information
triple snap
i wanted clarification, not acuse you
manual says you state false information all the time
which manual were you using?
so why did the devs in theur infinite wisdom do this?
its a perfectly reasonable system, it just seems that they fix stuff that isnt broken
Previous system meant you could have extreme resource income imbalance between the teams. Specifically the winning team would continue to accumulate an advantage (more obj = more income = more abilities/tanks). Plus at the lower end (for the losing team) it was almost impossible to generate any manpower
The change has removed that. But its a dump and forget
so then its ripe for removal, since it is dump and forget it negates the other team
together with engi class whics is aldo fire and forget
alas, why update the manual since we get new menu animation, amirite?
Hi
Is this game recommend for someone who is totally new to competitive shooter ?
Games on sale, looks really nice but not sure just wanted to know if a noob like me can get the hang of game.
i just bought it and about to try it
nothing just got the game
As Arnoldio said it's not competitive like CS:GO or other FPS titles and K/D ratio doesn't really matter that much . Game is or at least was focused on Teamwork , play with your squad , push together with other squads and capture the objective .
You will die A LOT but you don't need to worry about that , all you have to worry about is how to make your friends buy the game so you all have a good time together .
rip hll memes will be missed
This is exactly what I’m trying to do 😂 only one of my friends have it but he hasn’t played it yet 😞
#console-looking_for_unit and #pc-looking-for-unit ( PC players )
If you don't have access to the channel ping Lt.Col.Soundboard
cool thanks, i have access
I want to believe that there are still " veterans " / experienced players out there willing to help new players
yea man, that would be great. thanks you all
Hi why sniper rifle not cycling the bolt automatically after you unscope
because it's bugged
wtf
How many AP mines can a spotter put down?
I put 1 down, got a kill and then I couldn't select the AP mine again? Can you only have 1?
1 I think
@steep girder since danny couldn't summon you can you msg me pls god
thank god
@spare zodiac 4 at/ap but you only spawn with 1 ap so you’d need to resupply at an explosives crate
Hey guys, I’m a new player to HLL, I love sniping, and I want to have fun in this game by taking people’s heads off XD is there any recommendations for what I should do for my first few games? Like maybe run infantry or something like that first to learn maps? If anyone has tips, please let me know! I’m also at work right now, so I might not respond to anything for a while
thank you
Learn the maps and coordinate with other squad leaders marks to find targets
@dawn widget map knowledge doesn’t matter much as recon.
As recon squad leader, your job is to flank from the side or rear to clear enemy outpost, garrisons, supply drops and to mark troop movements / spot tanks. Lastly you provide close range support for your sniper buddy
As sniper you stay close to and be aggressive with your SL. Post up in a higher elevation to clear spawns from the rear. REMEMBER you don’t always have to fire at the first thing you see. ie…. A squad walking doesn’t notice the rear guy getting sniper
Is there a way to access the squad screen from in game or do you have to wait until the deploy screen?
Can’t access anything while in death screen
I mean while you are alive in game. Say you wanted to change your squad privacy option. Can you only do that from the deploy menu?
Believe people on PC have complained about that longer than anyone cares to remember
Yep
Thats a little silly isnt it?
😂
Yep
That’s what a non dev would think
Strange that it hasn't been changed
Yep
We need longer spawn times
Teamkill a couple of people
Shoot the ride
120s satchel charge as it drives away
Wish consoles would be able to make competitive teams like on pc
But we don’t have private or rent servers
Are they ever gonna add the ability to hear enemy proximity chat
no never
It would be very problematic but id love to see a general game chat, in which I could talk to the enemy team
Nah, way to easy to abuse
yeahh unfortunately
Insurgency does it and it works well imo
Double ended sword in insurgency tho as literally prox chat can be the death of you lmao
I like it, I think enemies hearing you adds more to the game, especially if they hear an officer ask a commander for a bomber it adds a new element of being careful with comms
devs have said in no uncertain terms that they'll never add it
that is true, but Insurgency relies far less on tactical intelligence and positioning. If you can shoot good, you're probably all right.
In the case of HLL, any random teammate could effectively ghost for the other team and reveal garry placement and team strategy/pos
Yeah you've mentioned, doesn't mean we cant discuss the idea
Youre right, that's possible. Maybe if it was just certain servers then?
No but we're discussing an idea and you've just jumped in with THATS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN like yeah, we know, chill
did i use caps lock to convey the information in an aggressive manner
scrolls up a bit more
I think you're taking things a bit too literally bud
i think you're slapping a subtext on my words that aint there chief
reiterating the point, while the idea of a general chat, as well as proximity voice chat is neat - it wouldnt work in practice, personally because I think people would well..."spy" so to speak
damn but I do want to talk shit to the next AT blueberry who keeps consistently missing rockets and respawning on a close by OP
I want to go on mad flanks by myself as a sniper and just recite bible verses to enemies as I shoot their friends like its saving private ryan
How do you manually bolt action a sniper rifle. On auto it sometimes doesn't auto bolt when you're scoped. You have to scope out to auto bolt.
That is correct
How do I buy winter dlc
I see a lotta people have it but I don’t see it on steam page
i think winter dlc was only available for a short time
it pops up for a couple weeks in the winter
Summer dlc popped up again this year so odds are it will again for winter. Plus got to get all the new console players a chance to get it
What do you mean how like beta or full release or something else?
the beta, like how is it doing ? is it performing well?
xbox or ps
Anyone got any tips on delivering supplies via truck to the battle? 9/10 times I'm blown up by a tank, on the rare chance I get through I will be shot and the truck will be camped extensively.
It makes playing engineer a complete bore when you can't build anything
Pray
and also don't take main roads
if possible have a tank escort you
both i guess
yeah i leanred that lesson last night. they put a mine literally outside our base on the long road map
ps is out of beta and xobox I'm not so sure but its going well
can you add like a gun upgrade level system
level up the gun and you can have modifications/upgrades to them
like for example for the kar98k, reach a specific level with that gun and you unlock a bayonet for it
max level could be like remove the sight hood
For the mg34, first unlock could be a double mag, last level an ammo belt
etc etc
How long does team kill penalty last, had a accidently friendly grenade kill back in trial and it's still giving me 10 seconds a week later
If it's just 10 seconds that's the standard cool down so people don't just redeploy instantly. If you mean there is an additional 10 seconds (20 seconds total) then it could be a bug but I've never seen that before
No I just mean how many days does that 10 seconds last
I've had one team kill about a week ago and instantly if I redeploy in any gane I still have a 10 sec timer
You misunderstand
Or is it permanent?
Teamkills, self-kills, and redeploys give u 10 sec penalty
OOOOOOOOO
No its 10 sec plus 10 seconds for punishment it says
Right but my team kill was a week ago, is that permanent now?
No
No
Shouldn't be
Oh wow that has to be a bug then
Sure youve not killed half your team?
How long is your time for respawn?
Lol no not tried out artillery YET lol
20 seconds on redeploy
Like instantly on a new game I just tested it
It says +10 for punishment
Redeploy through the menu, or redeploy on death?
Through menu while alive to spawn again
That counts as a suicide
That punishes you for 10 seconds
Fuck I'm stupid sorry guys
Its fine lol
this game is appalling
No worries maaaate
Glad you got it sussed dude!
Gonna print that out, fold it, and tuck it in my crack
its actually shocking how bad it is lmao
Genuinely curious; but why did you join the HLL discord to say that?
Elaborate
coz i'm currently suffering this game
Then delete it.
ok
The game isn't holding you at gun point 🤷♂️
wanted to get a couple more free trophies first but its too painful
Then stop playing lmfao
If you dont enjoy it no point in coming here to say it unless you have a genuine complaint
i just did i'm on fortnite now
Let the man complain
i died like 3 times to teamkills, like 3 more times running 1mph up a beach to invisible enemies, had enough
They do be invisible
Probably hiding in the bocage
There in the fucking treees man
Tbh I felt that on hill 400 pushing paper mill
Pushing wind mill on kursk is so painful
Does anyone else’s pc gets hot af when playing? I got a rtx3070, intel I9 and 16 gb ram i play on 4k (sometimes i go to 1080p) high settings and my computer turns into a nuclear reactor from time to time is this normal? Or is there any way to fix it?
@fringe berry are you running alot of extra things in the background?
Having played the BF 2042 Beta. I can definitely say it lost the touch previous games had. Especially in the immersion (Animations, details, art style) department for this game. I can't figure out why they intentionally downgraded the movement & environmental destruction system into what it is. Same with how basic animations are now. It just looks so, cheaply made. Basics (most of them) which should be present in all bf games are missing:
- auto lean
- crouch sprint
- rolling while jumping from a tall place
- medic distance meter
- zeroing in scopes
- laying on back while proning
- lock on direction indicator on air vehicles (so annoying in beta)
- squad deploy screen preview
- distance indicator when headshot from sniper
- grenade indicator
- being thrown away from large explosion like for rocket explosion
- chat (disabled)
- bigger map with M (disabled)
- working squad system
- weapon inspect
- squad order wheel thing
- a proper score board when pressed tab
- bipods (but they were bugged in playtest probs thats y)
- manual leaning option
- server browser
- grenade indicator
Coming from from both BF3/BF4/Insurgency Sandstorm and CoD MW 19 leaves me with two options:
Either go with Vanguard or Hell Let Loose. Yes I do care about KD but also objectives in the game.
