My biggest issue i’m running into lately are teammates that refuse to cooperate. When I started playing most of the team/squad would work together. Now no one seems to listen and plays like it’s battlefield.
I will tell you right now if this game dies anytime soon I'm going to be so sad. I didn't hear about this game until January this year and I've played it constantly. Grinded classes, made multiple friends, and just had such a good time on this game. I've been playing video games since early 2000s and this is easily my favorite game ever. It came to me at a time where I almost gave up on playing games. Please everybody come together. Get your friends to play this and get the word out about how good a game it is. We cannot lose this game. At least I can't.
trust me u are not the only one who wants the game to flurish but the devs make it hard for us we have to hope and this will not be my last video to them :D

I will never understand the vitriol for BM after seeing the amount of major bugs T17 has managed to let into many of their updates. Let's go down the list of the more high profile ones: Update 13.5: Bolt Action reload bug that was not fixed until Update 14, almost 2 months later Update 14: I really don't need to say much here, British released in a state that was not fixed for over half a year, run speed change that divided the community that took 2-3 months to revert, and even then it wasn't reverted to its previous value, with T17 lying about this openly. Update 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3: Literally just to attempt to fix the above problems. I'd argue these are just a continuation of update 14. Update 14.4: Mantling changes that now occasionally make your character shake until you stop moving. Still not fixed. Update 14.5, 14.6, and 14.7: Nothing major I can remember. Not much here. Update 14.8: Not a bug but the introduction of Skirmish and one of the most apparent wastes of development time and effort from T17. And Update 15 and 15.1 which you already mentioned in your video. T17 has a massive track record of poor QA from day one. The studio they opened specifically to develop HLL, Cover Six, no longer exists and now the game is literally being developed by contract workers over at Expression. Been a while since I have just been utterly demoralized to play HLL, I sincerely don't think the free work we could give them at this point.
They don’t seem to care about accuracy either. There’s peadot at stalingrad and a tiger at el-alemain also. The stg 44 and gewher 43 are also available at Stalingrad.
I'm not overly bothered about the Tiger at El-Alamein as Tiger tanks were present in North Africa and it's not exactly taking huge liberties plus as Kaiser said, you need to balance things.
@@KAISERMtbb Agreed, another thing that plagues HLL is the poor tank/armour system. It's the same every game and gets bland very quickly. Squad44's tank system is a lot better IMO. So I'd like to see some changes down the road on that. However, I think I'm jumping the gun and asking for faaaar too much there from T17 lol.
Greetings from Peru..i have a question, could you recomend me controller settings? I have the game in my laptop i would like to play with my xbox controller, i saw your video playing with a controller, but i couldnt found your setting video about the controller...(Sorry if i said something with no sense im learning english.). :)
all good :D no sorry bro i played it once with a controller and instantly disliked it, my settings got reset one day and therefore the controller settings aswell, i have no clue what my settings were :(
I really hope HLL can get their act together. For me, a console player, HLL fills the niche no other game has or seemingly can. I can’t just go play Squad 44 or something else. I really hope they can give us good finished content soon.
No Berlin, No improvements on tanks colision, No Pacific (Fuck you buzz lighyear memes), Bad Loadout UI, X3 DLC price usable in 1 map, yeah... I think they have a problem
1900 hrs on HLL .. These developers have clearly displayed a lack of interest in attracting a group of players who are into the hardcore tactical shooter genre, this is made even more evident by their recent "update" (glorified patch) and having the balls to charge 12USD for a DLC cosmetic dump only to be locked to one map. HLL has yet to introduce a new game mode or anything ground reaking other than Skirmish which only serves as more proof for their prioritization for a more casual apporach to HLL. Squad 44 beat HLL to the punch with the new frontline mode which is awesome and HLL planned a very similar mode for U15 but scrapped it and seem more keen on this whole budget skirmish mode garbage which gets boring VERY quickly. Sidenote: Army Men Major Malfunction was made under T17 and it was rated as the absolute worst game of the series and this was waaay back in the day and serves as a small reference to their shity quality control.
@@KAISERMtbb Dude, I love this game as much as anyone else but you need to see the writing on the wall. T17 are a trash developer with a poor reputation, and zero passion, I'm sure there are decent workers who want to make a difference working for them but as a whole the company allows for ZERO passion and just wants to churn out crap for quick money grabs. It's a shame, but its time to see the situation for what it is, do not give them a cent more, do not give them any more benefit of the doubt, they've shown their true colours. It's time to get ready for the next game to come out that competes with the same space that HLL occupies then jump ship the second the competing Devs show more passion and capability.
Remember that the studio is cover 6 and believe part of the problem is that origins of the game made by BM is poorly coded as even BM had trouble getting bug free patches out and it just took then longer
Honestly I understand the money thing…..but a new map and the game looks great I also enjoy the the fact that they make changes to the mistakes and the loadout menu is great caz u can change your uniform and weapons clock of a button before the match starts
Battle grounds I really want to see represented in Hell Let Loose: Arnhem Leningrad Dunkirk Monte Cassino Brody Berlin Moscow If we only get one, Arnhem is the one I want most. Its an urban battle ground, which is lacking from the British maps. It would be nice to finally get a map where those drum mag thompsons can actually shine.
After the failed trailer (german op) the game is a sinking ship. It's clear the new handful devs don't have a clue what this game is about and pretty sure they don't really play it self (run speed update).
@@KAISERMtbb The run speed meant all the timings were screwed up for the way Spawn point timings and key locations on maps were designed. It also meant Satchel players could easily keep up with tanks 🤨, and the dolphin diving animation was easily abuseable until they finally fixed it all. They just don't bother thinking anything through and have no quality control. The new menus in the recent update are bugged too, they display Text saying "Loadout" but it's all your appearance settings, and it's also more difficult to tell at a glance which Loadout you're running because it defaults to showing your cosmetics, even when you get it showing the correct thing the new loadouts UI gives you less useful information to see at a glance.. literally not a single person asked for a half-assed update to the UI and yet hear we are. Honestly F#@k T17
this game simply needs a second game mode as "Battlefield Mode". without the need to communicate. like it was in BF 3 and 4. with a simplified squad system. this would increase the player base. so a bf shooter mode and a hardcore mode like the current one.
@@KAISERMtbb ..but that means that a normal mode would attract more players...?! another possibility would be to make it similar to Arma Reforger. there we as players have much more freedom and possibilities than in HLL. in Arma Reforger I can do hardcore teamplay. but if I don't feel like it I can also fulfill my own mission.
Arrowhead studios, the makers of Helldivers, are a shining example of how to listen to your community and then in turn reward them with what they’re asking for. You curate so much respect and love when you do this simple action and you create a win / win for everyone. Not a single atom has been split.
1600 hours in HLL. It would be nice if Team17 start to communicate with experienced clans which runs servers and paying them from own pockets. Especially about new maps,content and shitty UI updates like this one.
@@KAISERMtbb same thing with HLL change of the owners . The new ones were cash grabbing idiots who ruined the game with expensive DLCs no fixing for old bugs massive drop frames . Then they started a goFund me with a goal of 2 MILLION DOLLARS to make Heroes and Generales 2 . Most obvious cash grab but still people donated and in 2023 they shut the game and ran with the money . The game WAS SOO FUN like HLL but more arcady . You have ressources generals send them and the players can spawn transport trucks AA guns It had planes that you can control tanks cars with the MGs mounted not limited by the period so any WW2 gun was available .
@@benjaminlathem2745 i mean there is just no tutorial or anything for the new guys -> gamepass just brought a lot of new players at once and not slowly over time therefore u can not propperley integrate them into the scene……
@@KAISERMtbb sadly not, no fps has such element, even if it's such a logic step if you want to make your game more persistant and resilient over time. But i guess is too complicated.
Seems like T17 really doesn't give a crap and are also incompetent. It's sad because HLL is a great game and has a lot more potential. I've only been playing for about a month or so. From what I'm hearing and seeing, I doubt there will ever be a sequel, but I hope someone will take the foundation that was built and improved it with a new game on UE5 with destructible terrain, more weapons and content, and less bugs.
@@KAISERMtbb how is it compared to arma then? i can run arma pretty well with tons of mods running on my xbox, besides it is definitely possible for a console port
@KAISERMtbb yup it sucks for the commander when they use all his munitions, it sucks for the scout squads getting yelled at to camp the arty, it sucks for those getting spawn camped and sucks for those getting killed by arty and unable to do anything about it
I’m so glad I dropped the game. I felt like I was shooting jackets with the trash hit reg. Idk what they changed but I hate the new devs’ managers. Dear HLL producers, you’re bad at your job.
Voip not working, almost no servers in list (all favourites gone), preset reset - those are my newest bugs and I'm not alone (I've tried almost anything to fix them).. Why wait until they maybe fix them in the future? I quit! I've given them a year or more to fix gamebreaking bugs that are well reported by me and many others. Updates bring dusk and night variants and uneccesary changes, not even mentioning core issues with the game. Why would it suddenly get better? I feel they've shown their true colors.. sigh
@@KAISERMtbb I just feel so let down each update and I'm an all or nothing guy. Either it's my main game or it isn't at all. I do love the game, I just care for my mental more ;)
I hate this game now. First off the new hedges suck. I can't shoot through the holes I see, well, some I can, some I can't. Nothing more frustrating to give up my position for a kill and I'm denied the kill shooting at an invisible wall and my bullets are bouncing off in my face. The new presets, clothing and weapons selection is a complete failure. Even the new stupid sound effect when you're clicking and moving the mouse around. I've gotten vehicles stuck more than ever. Meh, back to Rust.
Almost 900h in and I gave up on this game. Ther hasn't been a significant update since the release of the Brits. Juast shitty night maps and a game mode thet no one cares about. It looks like the game will die in the near future.
people need to stop coping and saying the game is fine and nothing is wrong, the game is becoming increasingly stale and content updates are mid at best. when most of the new updates bring no gameplay/feature changes and rather just maps which arent even accepted by the community its not great, most new maps arent featured in community servers so after a few weeks of an update all the servers return to the same 6 old maps 24/7...
yeah i know to some degree but that is not what i want to do i want a conversation not a boycott... that only makes the gap larger between the devs and us....
@@KAISERMtbb T17 are a cash cow company that only speaks in easy mindless money 💰💰💰 ratings threaten their ability to get their grubby hands on easy money🤑 do not allow yourself into thinking they want to invest any time into having a reasonable conversation or doing anything because they have vision or passion (they do not)
Sad truth is T17 doesn't have the experience nor the technical knowledge about these kind of games. Whatever they are shitting out as updates atm are unfinished content that Black Matter was working on when they sold the game & these guys have no clue to finish even that content properly without breaking the game. It's just a bunch of noob moba games developers with no idea about FPS games who saw an opportunity with HLL to make some easy money. These kind of people rarely learn so it's either they gonna break the game upto a point it's unplayable or they gonna get fed up & just give up cause this game is way over their heads...
The whole update was just a cash grab that broke things. The whole redesign of the interface made things slower to access and is purely for pushing informs instead of loadout. There is no interest in fixing basic game mechanics like MG mounting or map interface glitches which exist… continuously, every time, for years. They’re just milking a dying game.
@@KAISERMtbbMe, too. Don’t get me wrong, I love/loved HLL. There just seems to be no interest from the developers in fixing anything real, just adding cosmetics to charge for. It’s becoming one of those annoying “pay to play” phone games in concept.
No other game compared to it? LOL Squad 44 is far better, though I would like to see some healthy competition between both games to see who is the best, but HLL is no where near that right now in its current states compared to Squad 44
you can not really compare squad to hll , they play in a different era but squad is a millsim and hll is a casual hardcore shooter….. that is a huge difference
The only way to save HLL is to buy it from current developer. They will destroy it, I'm sure of that. At the beggining I sad that every big game company allways destroyed indie games after purchasing them because they think only about fokken money not current player base.
I can see the market space for both games. I enjoy Squad 44 more but HLL isn't bad. The only major gripe I have with HLL is the running animation or "feeling". It makes it seem as though the soldier is running through heavy whipped cream or custard. It's so bizarre.
@@KAISERMtbb haha idk what it is it just feels like the character takes ages to get anywhere. He's running but he's not at the same time. I can't explain it other than running through custard 😂
Couldn’t be further from the truth. This game needs to die so that something else can replace it. The devs have consistently disregarded the community and disregarded the loyal fan base. HLL fans deserve a better game.
@@KAISERMtbb hard disagree, if everyone unanimously decided to quit supporting s#!tty game Devs and only supported the passionate ones we would have a lot less junk out there and a lot more quality. Reward the Dev Studios you see putting out meaningful work, and with respectable business practices, reject those who aim to take as much as they can/cutting corners/firing staff to cut costs short term. T17 are a joke, and have scared off a huge portion of the community that made HLL worth playing in the first place, in a game that requires large scale coordination and a decent understanding of Strategy/Tactics it quickly becomes mindless casual crap when only 5% of the OG player base are left to try to teach the remaining players and they get burned out quickly
Bought the game a few weeks ago played 56 hours then deleted German guns are horrible if your the Germans you are at a immediate disadvantage games a damn walking sim just to get shot by a ghost wait 45 seconds then rinse and repeat and the xp is horrible it’s impossible to rank up classes
Their mistake was trying to gather more (casual) players instead of cherishing the already existing community of devoted veterans. Now they're just losing both
yep :(
Games need casuals. Very few games survive on only hardcore players. Also casuals can become fans and grow the community even further. Not that they're doing an awesome job, but a balance is needed.

Update 14.8: Not a bug but the introduction of Skirmish and one of the most apparent wastes of development time and effort from T17.
And Update 15 and 15.1 which you already mentioned in your video.
T17 has a massive track record of poor QA from day one. The studio they opened specifically to develop HLL, Cover Six, no longer exists and now the game is literally being developed by contract workers over at Expression.
Been a while since I have just been utterly demoralized to play HLL, I sincerely don't think the free work we could give them at this point.
yeah i should have the list befor my video :D
thx for your time and research :D
Wait what happened to Cover 6 Studios??? I thought they were still working on the game

They don’t seem to care about accuracy either. There’s peadot at stalingrad and a tiger at el-alemain also. The stg 44 and gewher 43 are also available at Stalingrad.
yeah i mean u have to balance it somehow…
At least they took the panther off El Alamein 😂 that shit was weird
I'm not overly bothered about the Tiger at El-Alamein as Tiger tanks were present in North Africa and it's not exactly taking huge liberties plus as Kaiser said, you need to balance things.
@@TheGreyWolf94 yeah otherwise germany has no heavy tanks and will just get rolled….
@@KAISERMtbb Agreed, another thing that plagues HLL is the poor tank/armour system.
It's the same every game and gets bland very quickly. Squad44's tank system is a lot better IMO. So I'd like to see some changes down the road on that.
However, I think I'm jumping the gun and asking for faaaar too much there from T17 lol.
Greetings from Peru..i have a question, could you recomend me controller settings? I have the game in my laptop i would like to play with my xbox controller, i saw your video playing with a controller, but i couldnt found your setting video about the controller...(Sorry if i said something with no sense im learning english.). :)
all good :D
no sorry bro i played it once with a controller and instantly disliked it, my settings got reset one day and therefore the controller settings aswell, i have no clue what my settings were :(
Hola! con ratón de computadora este juego es mucho más fácil y divertido. Si tienes la oportunidad de usar ratón es mucho mejor que controller. 😊
@@flat6simracing625 si ya me rendí de intentarlo jaja, control para otros juegos con este teclado y mouse
Still my favorite game, really hope they get on track
After 2600 hrs I'm not going to dedicate a single plus hour on this game, it's over.. I'm playing squad 44 now, I'll never look back!
sad to see all the veterans go but i can fully understand it :(
What they need to really work on is the Gunfire sounds. It really needs a huge overhaul
yeah there are a few other things first that come to my mind :D
I really hope HLL can get their act together. For me, a console player, HLL fills the niche no other game has or seemingly can. I can’t just go play Squad 44 or something else. I really hope they can give us good finished content soon.
yep :(
No Berlin, No improvements on tanks colision, No Pacific (Fuck you buzz lighyear memes), Bad Loadout UI, X3 DLC price usable in 1 map, yeah... I think they have a problem
a really tiny one :D
There is no longer a QA team, it was sacked a few months ago. The QA are the players at the moment, once the update has been sent.
not the best solution XD
They honestly ought to seek one of the original BM developers as a consultant
@@greggblack8205 they just need a qa team
1900 hrs on HLL
.. These developers have clearly displayed a lack of interest in attracting a group of players who are into the hardcore tactical shooter genre, this is made even more evident by their recent "update" (glorified patch) and having the balls to charge 12USD for a DLC cosmetic dump only to be locked to one map. HLL has yet to introduce a new game mode or anything ground reaking other than Skirmish which only serves as more proof for their prioritization for a more casual apporach to HLL. Squad 44 beat HLL to the punch with the new frontline mode which is awesome and HLL planned a very similar mode for U15 but scrapped it and seem more keen on this whole budget skirmish mode garbage which gets boring VERY quickly.
Sidenote:
Army Men Major Malfunction was made under T17 and it was rated as the absolute worst game of the series and this was waaay back in the day and serves as a small reference to their shity quality control.
yeah it does not look good rn :(
i hope they will somehow stir the ship back in the right direction….
@@KAISERMtbb Dude, I love this game as much as anyone else but you need to see the writing on the wall. T17 are a trash developer with a poor reputation, and zero passion, I'm sure there are decent workers who want to make a difference working for them but as a whole the company allows for ZERO passion and just wants to churn out crap for quick money grabs. It's a shame, but its time to see the situation for what it is, do not give them a cent more, do not give them any more benefit of the doubt, they've shown their true colours. It's time to get ready for the next game to come out that competes with the same space that HLL occupies then jump ship the second the competing Devs show more passion and capability.
Remember that the studio is cover 6 and believe part of the problem is that origins of the game made by BM is poorly coded as even BM had trouble getting bug free patches out and it just took then longer
@@greggblack8205 hll has to have an extreme spagetti code…..
Bill 400 rules!! I love that map! It need’s upgrade tbh. Why tf isn’t there any bodies or corpses randomly throughout certain maps???
no clue …
Honestly I understand the money thing…..but a new map and the game looks great I also enjoy the the fact that they make changes to the mistakes and the loadout menu is great caz u can change your uniform and weapons clock of a button before the match starts
there is no new map in this update and the ui is broken the guns should be at the start when u come into a squad thats why loadout stands there ....

@@brickera1591 ah interesting :D nice that ppl like it but it is not for me -> games are games and i want to be a supersoldier :D
After the failed trailer (german op) the game is a sinking ship. It's clear the new handful devs don't have a clue what this game is about and pretty sure they don't really play it self (run speed update).
i liked the run speed but obv i can see why it was bad for most new players…. but that is my personal opinion and everyone can disagree with it :D
@@KAISERMtbb The run speed meant all the timings were screwed up for the way Spawn point timings and key locations on maps were designed. It also meant Satchel players could easily keep up with tanks 🤨, and the dolphin diving animation was easily abuseable until they finally fixed it all. They just don't bother thinking anything through and have no quality control.
The new menus in the recent update are bugged too, they display Text saying "Loadout" but it's all your appearance settings, and it's also more difficult to tell at a glance which Loadout you're running because it defaults to showing your cosmetics, even when you get it showing the correct thing the new loadouts UI gives you less useful information to see at a glance.. literally not a single person asked for a half-assed update to the UI and yet hear we are. Honestly F#@k T17
Kaiser do you think they might as well just allow the community itself to fix the game with some kind of official modding partnership?
not in a lifetime sadly :(
What they really need to do is get this game on UE5. It would look and function so much better!
Sqaud 44 exists..
not my game sadly tried it for 100 hours just not my game :(
this game simply needs a second game mode as "Battlefield Mode". without the need to communicate. like it was in BF 3 and 4. with a simplified squad system. this would increase the player base.
so a bf shooter mode and a hardcore mode like the current one.
disagree bc it would potentally ruin the game bc bf players would swap to the normal mode and wil not communicate....
@@KAISERMtbb ..but that means that a normal mode would attract more players...?!
another possibility would be to make it similar to Arma Reforger. there we as players have much more freedom and possibilities than in HLL. in Arma Reforger I can do hardcore teamplay. but if I don't feel like it I can also fulfill my own mission.
@@Das_Kamel i mean i do that in hll all the time -> i rp when i want or i frag out when i want….
Arrowhead studios, the makers of Helldivers, are a shining example of how to listen to your community and then in turn reward them with what they’re asking for.
You curate so much respect and love when you do this simple action and you create a win / win for everyone.
Not a single atom has been split.
yeah i hope we can get into a conversation with the devs :D
Well said!

1600 hours in HLL. It would be nice if Team17 start to communicate with experienced clans which runs servers and paying them from own pockets. Especially about new maps,content and shitty UI updates like this one.
yes that is exactly my thought :D
I fear this game will turn into Heroes and generals
do not know the lore of that one :(
@@KAISERMtbb same thing with HLL change of the owners . The new ones were cash grabbing idiots who ruined the game with expensive DLCs no fixing for old bugs massive drop frames . Then they started a goFund me with a goal of 2 MILLION DOLLARS to make Heroes and Generales 2 . Most obvious cash grab but still people donated and in 2023 they shut the game and ran with the money . The game WAS SOO FUN like HLL but more arcady . You have ressources generals send them and the players can spawn transport trucks AA guns It had planes that you can control tanks cars with the MGs mounted not limited by the period so any WW2 gun was available .

Seems like T17 really doesn't give a crap and are also incompetent. It's sad because HLL is a great game and has a lot more potential. I've only been playing for about a month or so. From what I'm hearing and seeing, I doubt there will ever be a sequel, but I hope someone will take the foundation that was built and improved it with a new game on UE5 with destructible terrain, more weapons and content, and less bugs.
would be nice to see a sequel i hope it would be in the same era tho :D

it is just a bad gamedisign asset....
@KAISERMtbb yup it sucks for the commander when they use all his munitions, it sucks for the scout squads getting yelled at to camp the arty, it sucks for those getting spawn camped and sucks for those getting killed by arty and unable to do anything about it

I’m so glad I dropped the game. I felt like I was shooting jackets with the trash hit reg. Idk what they changed but I hate the new devs’ managers.
Dear HLL producers, you’re bad at your job.
yeah i hope they get their stuff together….
Voip not working, almost no servers in list (all favourites gone), preset reset - those are my newest bugs and I'm not alone (I've tried almost anything to fix them).. Why wait until they maybe fix them in the future? I quit! I've given them a year or more to fix gamebreaking bugs that are well reported by me and many others. Updates bring dusk and night variants and uneccesary changes, not even mentioning core issues with the game. Why would it suddenly get better? I feel they've shown their true colors.. sigh
yeah somewhat feels that way but when everyone is giving up there is really no hope left :(
@@KAISERMtbb I just feel so let down each update and I'm an all or nothing guy. Either it's my main game or it isn't at all. I do love the game, I just care for my mental more ;)
I hate this game now. First off the new hedges suck. I can't shoot through the holes I see, well, some I can, some I can't. Nothing more frustrating to give up my position for a kill and I'm denied the kill shooting at an invisible wall and my bullets are bouncing off in my face. The new presets, clothing and weapons selection is a complete failure. Even the new stupid sound effect when you're clicking and moving the mouse around. I've gotten vehicles stuck more than ever. Meh, back to Rust.
yeah it is not in the best state rn :(
Yeah I agree. Especially not being able to shoot through wooden fences that's an absolute joke
@@jd646 it is so frustrating........
Almost 900h in and I gave up on this game. Ther hasn't been a significant update since the release of the Brits. Juast shitty night maps and a game mode thet no one cares about. It looks like the game will die in the near future.
i do not think it will die but very many veterany will leave….
people need to stop coping and saying the game is fine and nothing is wrong, the game is becoming increasingly stale and content updates are mid at best. when most of the new updates bring no gameplay/feature changes and rather just maps which arent even accepted by the community its not great, most new maps arent featured in community servers so after a few weeks of an update all the servers return to the same 6 old maps 24/7...

Nah, wish my friends bought squad 44 instead
sadly not my game :(
Bad Steam ratings, otherwise you won't be heard. Sad but that's the way it is
yeah i know to some degree but that is not what i want to do i want a conversation not a boycott... that only makes the gap larger between the devs and us....
@@KAISERMtbb T17 are a cash cow company that only speaks in easy mindless money 💰💰💰 ratings threaten their ability to get their grubby hands on easy money🤑 do not allow yourself into thinking they want to invest any time into having a reasonable conversation or doing anything because they have vision or passion (they do not)
Sad truth is T17 doesn't have the experience nor the technical knowledge about these kind of games. Whatever they are shitting out as updates atm are unfinished content that Black Matter was working on when they sold the game & these guys have no clue to finish even that content properly without breaking the game. It's just a bunch of noob moba games developers with no idea about FPS games who saw an opportunity with HLL to make some easy money. These kind of people rarely learn so it's either they gonna break the game upto a point it's unplayable or they gonna get fed up & just give up cause this game is way over their heads...
Pretty sure they downsized and fired most of the QA team.. adding features no one wanted rather than fixing problems is annoying af.
yep :D
The whole update was just a cash grab that broke things. The whole redesign of the interface made things slower to access and is purely for pushing informs instead of loadout.
There is no interest in fixing basic game mechanics like MG mounting or map interface glitches which exist… continuously, every time, for years.
They’re just milking a dying game.
i still have hope that they will do smthng good….
@@KAISERMtbbMe, too. Don’t get me wrong, I love/loved HLL. There just seems to be no interest from the developers in fixing anything real, just adding cosmetics to charge for.

honestly post scriptum (now squad44) is better than hell let loose. it is far more ww2 realistic than battlefield let loose.

I can see the market space for both games. I enjoy Squad 44 more but HLL isn't bad. The only major gripe I have with HLL is the running animation or "feeling". It makes it seem as though the soldier is running through heavy whipped cream or custard. It's so bizarre.

sad but true :(
Couldn’t be further from the truth. This game needs to die so that something else can replace it. The devs have consistently disregarded the community and disregarded the loyal fan base. HLL fans deserve a better game.
i think if we handle all games so ther will be none one day
@@KAISERMtbb hard disagree, if everyone unanimously decided to quit supporting s#!tty game Devs and only supported the passionate ones we would have a lot less junk out there and a lot more quality. Reward the Dev Studios you see putting out meaningful work, and with respectable business practices, reject those who aim to take as much as they can/cutting corners/firing staff to cut costs short term. T17 are a joke, and have scared off a huge portion of the community that made HLL worth playing in the first place, in a game that requires large scale coordination and a decent understanding of Strategy/Tactics it quickly becomes mindless casual crap when only 5% of the OG player base are left to try to teach the remaining players and they get burned out quickly
Imagine listening to OG players...
would be nice man :D
