![]() The bullets hitting all around you from who knows where, your vision tunneling, the sound of artillery screaming towards you and the legit fear that maybe that one is gonna land on you. But that other 25%…the 25% where you find the action…that 25% is going to be an experience you can get nowhere else. I would say about 75% of this game is some combination of frustration and boredom. I love this game, but I also don’t want to sugar coat it. Are you looking for an authentic and realistic experience? Are you okay with a majority of your time being spent either dead or running, punctuated by the occasional burst of pulse pounding action? Would you get frustrated by spending an hour and a half in a match, going 0-35, only to lose? Are you okay with spending ten minutes trudging across the map, only to get domed by a guy you never saw and have to start the process all over again? Are you ready to be disappointed ALOT? Then HLL is for you. Are you looking for a run and gun, all action, high kill experience? Then HLL is not for you. This is a tough answer, cuz I don’t know what you find “enjoyable”. Still prefer HLL to other similar games like Post Scriptum (good game, very small player base these days) and Squad. I myself often just join a server that isn't full and experiences can vary greatly. But again, the game mechanically is quite balanced.Īll in all the team composition is everything and if you like being part of a community or a specific server, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Being on the other side, being steamrolled, ain't fun either. I wish matches were more balanced in public lobbies, as often the team with better comms will just steamroll the other team and even being on the winning team isn't that fun after a while in a game like that. Other times you're that shooter and it's so nice >:) Sometimes tho you'll keep getting shot out of nowhere if the enemy is good and those games are a bit lame, but it's not really the game's fault. It becomes like crack - chasing that high when all elements meld together to create epic moments.Īs others have stated with good comms HLL has some of the best matches and atmosphere for a WW2 game. Oh, also its pretty buggy which can be very frustrating but I find it worth sitting through them for those moments. It sits somewhere in between fast spaced arcade and slow paced milsimĪlso, your enjoyment can often be decided by factors outside of your control are you getting steamrolled? Is your SL / Command decent? Are people communicating?Īll that said if the genre appeals to you, you get past the adjustment phase and you have a good team, I'd put HLL front and centre for some my favourite ever gaming moments. You can't play it like COD / BF but you can't play it like Squad / Arma I'd say compared to a lot of FPS games, HLL is hard to get used to. We're talking probably 15 times in a row. ![]() Getting extremely frustrated by the fact he couldn't see anyone and was getting killed over and over and over. I was playing with a guy last night who was having a very hard time. It has its moments, the good trumps the bad but when the bad happens it can get infuriating. Then nothing but smoke as you hear Germans charging.Īnd then other times you have a squad behind lines killing you and no one is helping you stop them because they have a really fucking annoying outpost somewhere far enough to mean nothing even if you squad wipe them. Suddenly you hear the whistling, you know you held them off as the artillery shells drop, blowing up Americans left right and centre. You begin firing into the backs of the Americans, killing two of them but they turn and start suppressing you. Then your Squad lead tells you to hold them there. You peer outside and see Americans rushing over the corpses of your comrades as they capture the objective. ![]() You crouch, going quiet as you hear footsteps splashing in the wet mud, screams, gunshots, and then silence. You run out of ammo, you’re down to your sidearm, not enough if more than two enter. You hear someone call for a Sanitater and another screams Sherman and next thing you know, smoke pops in front of your bunker, you can’t see shit so you spray and pray to whatever god you have that they don’t get close enough. You can have the best experience, being stuck in a bunker as your Officer is gunned down and you’re stuck with an MG42 podded on the hole, gunning down Americans as they rush your position.
