My great grandfather fought in this battle. PFC Harold McRaney, 3rd Bat, 395th Infantry Rgt, 99th ID. He was a BAR gunner in the trenches. They defended the main road from the 12th Waffen SS Panzer division. He told me about times when they would have to call in artillery directly on top of their own position because the Germans were on the verge of overwhelming them. He also received the bronze star for disabling a Stug by throwing a bag of dynamite under its tracks and mowing down the crew as they tried to flee. At one point, he shot an SS officer and looting his body. He took a walther P38 and a golden cuff bracelet with Hebrew letters on it. He was later wounded from mortar fire during the advance into Germany.

@@agidotexe7167 I'm an active player, they said they made them more accurate but they didn't unfortunately. They fixed a few things but most things are still just wrong
I really love the variety of distances and heights in the level design. The rolling hills of the checkpoint look like a lot of fun. The snow settings are beautiful too.
I hope it will add a breathe of fresh air into HLL. New interesting winter map with dynamic weather, not too open and bland as Foy and more forests than on Kharkov.
Genuinely looks awesome. I'm so glad they've finally added winter camo for the Tanks. Also, please let this include the winter rework for infantry too! It'd be chefs kiss.
You could add some british and russian maps, because most of the time we are already playing american vs german maps. Plus when do we get italy in the mix, we really need another axis faction because of the lack of replayability plus you could add some sick greece and italy maps.
I would love to see more British maps. Considering you're a British based development team, you would think you would include the British faction more. Arneham would be good. Adding a parachute drop would be awesome aswell!
@@connorpickett2026 The Pacific maps are gonna be really hard to make. Plus it will be very unfair for the Japanese because they rarely used submachine guns and they only had 30 round light machine guns and had no heavy tanks. It would be extremely unfair. If they want to add the pacific it would probably be in a new game mode or something to make it fair.
Great to finally have a new perspective on the Battle of the Bulge. The well-known siege of Bastogne was an important battle, but I would argue Elsenborg ridge was a lot more crucial, as a breakthrough here would expose the allies a lot more.
Would be cool, but if you look at the damp squib of the Russian & British faction rollout, I doubt they could handle a Japanese faction and completely new maps. I suspect that we would only get that if there was a HLL 2
Pacific should be a new game, potentially. Would love for them to cover battles that get less mentions in games. IE battles during the Poland (39) and France (40) campaigns.
@@sesh3508 better on another title as the guy mentioned. I dont think they will keep supporting the game after a couple of years and probably work on an hll2
this is all well and good added more less know battles, but when are we going to see more British and Russian maps. as it’s seems that all we are fighting is the American vs the German
I’m so happy, moved into a new house seven months ago with no fiber so haven’t been able to play! Now high speed internet is being installed in the next week and I’m finally back, I miss the games, my friends and the new maps that I haven’t played yet!
I don't care what anyone says, this map looks absolutely awesome, it's gonna be interesting to see how that new weather system is going to work. And that white Panzer 4 camo is just the cherry on the top. Hyped af for this update.
In real life, the Americans managed to stall the German advance here with a wall of artillery fire, occasionally having to call it down on top of their own heads as the Germans made breakthroughs in the line. There were moments when rear echelon troops like clerks and HQ personnel were rushed to the front to plug the gaps as the fighting grew more desperate.
This looks good from what we've seen do far. Better than mortain thankfully. Could we get some more non US maps though? The Russians and British want to play too!
No offense but can we get something other than US vs Germany? Squad 44 is working on some cool pacific theatre maps and I really don’t want HLL to fall behind
If people would get mics, it would help. The game is filled with squad leads without mics, playing like riflemen. They start a squad and then leave the leader slot so I’ve seen the first 5 squads I join don’t have a squad lead.
Oh sweet, another US vs Germany winter map. When we be able to mount MG's? Maybe a Tank overhaul? Maybe hitreg that works properly? You know, the things that make people play other games.
@@RonZertnert MG hasn't been able to mount properly since U9. Today, the only places an MG can mount on the first try and have full mobility, is on a perfectly flat surface, such as a window sill or brick fence. Playing a single round as MG, you will find that 50% of the places you try to mount, either leave you with no vertical movement at all, or as soon as you move left and right, it will automatically dismount you. The overall point I'm making, is that there are many frustrating bugs in this game, that were promised to get attention, and instead we are getting promotions to stuff nobody wants. Not sure how often you play, but on PC, since the last update, the server list is broken after leaving a server, which requires a restart. And over the last week, every single map has stuttering, like I'm reloading textures all over again. Not to mention sometimes when firing your gun, the gun doesn't shoot. This alone has happened to me close to 20 times in the last week. Others are noticing it too. Nobody wants a new map for 2 reasons. It's not needed when many other things need attention, and the other reason is that we all know that this map will bring other bugs, that are in no direct relation to a new map being added. Such as the bug/feature, that doesn't allow you to look at the map while taking down a node, because it stops progress on the node. On console when people looked at the map, it took the node down twice as fast. So the fix on console, was to hinder people on PC. as well. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.
@@TwinCityShredder I've played within the last week and had no issues mounting my MG on non-flat surfaces. Had multiple times where I mounted on slanted roofs for high ground so I have literally no idea what you are talking about with the mounting issue? Are you wanting battlefield mounting or what exactly? Yeah the server menu bug is annoying, but honestly it isn't so annoying that I would say no to new content in favor of them fixing it. Same with the node bug, that is such a niche specific bug. They can fix it after the map comes out it isn't a big deal. Never had any of the performance issues you are talking about either, so again, I'd rather have a new map than fix that. This community is honestly one of the whiniest communities ever where every little thing means "games dead".
@@TwinCityShredder I'm a MG main and I won't lie when I say that I don't experience the problem with mounting as much as people are saying, yes it happened to me but it wasn't common occurrence

Youre never going to get it. Youre asking for something they never wanted to do because its inferior. The Japanese weapons and tactics were wildly inferior on the ground. They believed that the war would have to be won on the water, and in the air. It would never balance out.
Time to jump back into the game, I played it a lot when it released on the PS but It's been sat unplayed in my PS5 library for over a year now, time to dust it off again I think. :-)
Wish they would update the animations, matching what's being seen in first person atleast, and more dynamic and realistic. Just a QOL update for longectivity.
the level of detail and feel for realism has been completely lost compared to what the old devs did, the roads are flat with on texture and no depression and mix of textures, and the objects looked slapped around and not even level.. But it still looks fun
Map looks way better than the last one, and the dynamic weather looks cool, but when are we getting the armor rework we were told about? And when are we getting more Russian/British maps
This awesome i really think this is best war game ever. I started think about these dudes could make/build really great modern war game too it would be dope
there is a bug, the voip shut down, we can`t use our mic for talk to other players. i change a lot of server but the bug is in all of server. PLS FIX IT
I wish they would have accurate tanks for the area like squd 44 does. Seeing a panzer 4 from late 1942/early 43 just doesn't cut it for me. A kingtiger or a late panther G would be awesome.
