Rules of thumb when traversing maps:

So I just want to say here that I love the sound design of Hell Let Loose. The explosives actually freaked me out at first, because when I was in Iraq mortar shelling was pretty common. The artillery sounds amazing, and it’s always hilarious just walking around before everything suddenly goes quiet and you see “Killed In Action” out of nowhere.

Brutal learning curve in this game but one of the most rewarding games when you crack it. Found everyone on mic to be so much fun, never take it hyper serious but yet still communicate to aid the gameplay.

I love big war games like these but I spent my first 2 hours just running and dying from enemies I didn't even know existed but the community is actually really chill which was unexpected. All my games there was people willing to answer my questions and give me tips on how to play and when I accidentally killed someone they just confirmed it was an accident and went "oh alright, you're all good"

The key is to play it more like a stealth game than a typical twitchy FPS. Sneak around and don't be seen, then go for the good kills. Patience wins in HLL.

This game really is the greatest "How to perfect your spawn technique" trainer.

Good vid, tho as one who have a good amount of +100h in the game here is some important pointers:

Played my first game yesterday, had a random dude helping me make my first steps. Great guy. Nice community. Danke!

Everybody is so helpful and kind, First game on they were telling me how to drop a outpost and saying good job and welcome to the game!

Facts, I just bought this game last night, played till 3Am and i think i killed 4 people in those long timed matches. Im getting used to it the game mechanics of it. And kinda annoying crossing the whole map to get to a house or get to the squad, then POP! dead.. from some distant enemy. BUT somehow i keep playing, so there is some reason i stick with it. Plus, the SOUNDS OF WAR ARE AWSOME in this game. When you think your out of sight and here a "Sssssip" fly past your head, better change position.

Just got this game yesterday, love the challenge, first 30 minutes didn't see a single enemy and was getting killed from left to right, end up killing 2 and die 30 times .. By the 3rd game got a little bit better thanks to my team mates, killed 9 enemies and died 26 times.

Any guilt I feel winning as the Germans is eliminated by the triumphant catchiness of Erika

How to play steps:

Ah Hell Let Loose, what fun there is to be had. On offense I once got a 95 kill streak as the offense in a medium tank, so the commander gave us a heavy when we were finally taken out.

Just started playing and man is it hard starting out I’ve played maybe 5 hrs and got 3 kills one match and 2 in another but I’m having fun

I used to play this game to be a de-stressor from games like Valorant, but now I really enjoy playing this game with a community.
