I love playing the medic. I never revive teammates, my job requires me to be far more aggressive. I stealthily sprint (uncrouched) across the map, to the flanks, with my morphine syringe in hand, search out the enemy positions, and POUNCE on them in a very credible attempt to give them a morphine overdose. Haven't had a kill yet, but with 60+ hours of purely this tactic I can feel my luck changing! EEEEERIKA!
@@McBluffinGaming Appreciated my good man! I look forward to not seeing you on the battlefield because I'll be running too far ahead, carrying the team with my pro strats ⚕️💊
I've tried playing as medic without murdering a single soul. It's one of my favorite experiences, it's not about getting the kills, it's about saving the poor souls and healing them back into combat. Another part I like to is play some sort of RP (Role Playing), basically what I did is saying I had no gun or lost my gun, giving me an excuse to revive and heal people without murdering a single one.
11. The random squad lead frozen like a deer in headlights in the middle of the point beside 3000 supplies with the commander and half the team screaming at him to build the Garrison.
I jumped in to Commander role only bc nobody else did and nobody wanted the job. I told everyone it was my first time and to just tell me what they needed me to and walk me through it. They were very patient and helpful and we came away with a V!
@@McBluffinGaming Be open and honest about it. I'd rather have a commander whos willing to learn and messes up, then someone who thinks its a mil sim and what they say goes, for example.
We had a level 20 commander who didn’t talk or do much I tried to talk to him for about 30min. Our whole team got so mad at him and I ended up tk him twice after someone hit him with a shovel and he shot me for it. (Bit childish I know) I don’t go commander much but I appreciate a commander who is willing to learn.
I was in game for 10 mins with no commander and no other squads talking. No one built garrisons. So I took it over spawned in tanks, halftracks, dropped supplies, built garrisons, dropped good bombing runs and air strikes. Turned game around just for someone to join 20 mins later and scream at me for doing terrible job cause I wasn’t actively giving commands to squalid leaders who weren’t talking. I was like ok guck this I resign. Now even if the game goes hours without commander I won’t touch it. People would rather have no commander then someone who’s at least trying
Missing points 1) No mic players 2) Douchie argumentative/vindictive commanders that start massive fights and shouting matches on the command chat. 3) People using supply trucks as transport 4) Support players not placing supplies 5) Engineers not playing their role at all 6) AT not utilizing AT. 7) The lonely man command chat-where a player uses the chat as his primary mode of general life conversation the entire game.
Support and Engi kit are not attractive. so no one play these role and lose. I played Support a lot, but 4) is also SL problem. They never told where they want to put down supply.
I'm a medic main in HLL. I get the frustration but don't expect us medics to come save your ass when you decided to run into the middle of the field and get shot by machine guns or snipers. Also don't expect a medic to immediately save you in a active firefight with the enemy in front of us. Also when it appears a medic is leaving you it might actually be them having to go around an obstacle that can't be climbed or crawled under.
Yeah I know most medic mains would get me if they could, but I keep getting the Medics who just hide and won't even do their job in fairly decent cover. Like not even on me just watching them ignore downed teammates as they scream..... Thank you for being a medic mai however,not enough of you guys
Medic was the first class I got to level 10, so many people get ticked of if you don't go into a field where they died just to revive them. If they persist once I say I can't, I just say it's there fault and move on.
@@rikmang hits me in the feels. Especially when you’re cussing them out about how if they redeploy you’ll leave them for dead for the rest of the game regardless of how close or how safe they are.
The problem with medic is you aren’t rewarded enough to stand around healing teammates. The devs should give generous points for healing like they do for engineers that build.
I have actually been hunted while playing medic by my own teammate for an entire hour, simply because i didnt revive him when he ran 30 metres into an open field, covered by 2 tanks and about 10 players. Please understand that the medic is a valuable asset, and sometimes keeping the medic alive is a better option, not saying you did anything wrong, but just for everyone out there keep it in mind
Lol yep just because you’re a moron and have no self awareness on the battlefield doesn’t mean the medic has to do the same in an attempt to save your life lol. That’s their problem and not yours.
I had a guy screaming on text chat to have me kicked for not medic-ing. We were getting shelled and pushed hard on the point. Dude was complaining I wasn’t healing after reviving. Sorry bro, I see syringes all over my screen. Bandage yourself.
11. Players who create an inf squad just to back out so they can rejoin as a different class 12. SLs who treat command chat as social hour 13. Players who sound like they just ate their mic and turned the gain all the way up 14. Commander / SLs who build red zone garries within 100m of enemy strongpoint 15. Blueberries who use the half track as a personal taxi / don't deploy the half track spawn when they're done 16. SLs who march right by supplies without building a garrison 17. That guy who gets the transport truck stuck half way to the mid point 18. The armor crew that cruises a heavy tank right into the enemy strongpoint for no reason with no infantry support, just to ask for another heavy when they inevitably get blown up 19. The players who won't switch roles, even for a minute 20. The players on offense who linger around the locked sector after losing the defensive point
I've noticed a lot of people don't want to be Commander cuz they get shitted on half of the time. Like instead of dogging the commander help help him understand. Then you have commanders that go on there and they don't even help they just go on there to collect the points and they don't do anything for the entire team.
The other day had a griefer. Said in voice chat right after spawning "Somebody put a satchel here" while he obviously did, right next to the garrison we just spawned in hill 400 map. I got close to defuse it and he shot me in the head. That satchel blew up and got a good chunk of the team killed. When confronted, he called out that he was inocent and that it was i who was doing what he did, reversing the facts. We lost that game just because 1 guy and his friend defending him on the chat.
@@ramO-jp8tp just a manchild that thinks he's funny by pretending to be edgy. Lots of them around lately. Its good to laugh at them once in a while. The sad part is that they ruin the game for others. But thats their goal instead of actually being good in the game.
When I read you were trying to defuse it and he shot you in the head I died laughing. Man that sucks but it's funny as hell to think about the levels of frustration you experienced.
@@rf2642 I mean, it's a game where players are trying to have a experience. There's always gonna be a troll like that, so it's just matter of brushing it off and move on. Ofc, that does not mean trolls should be tolerated. If possible, just report them so they don't keep ruining the experience.
This one is happened to me dozens of times: when playing a medic, you see a knocked out player, when you try to reach that guy, he just let himself go. Sometimes they let go when you start to revive them. I stopped to play medic because of that.
@@Tasluk worst part is there’s multiple times where I have to use prox to find someone in the same squad with a downed guy I’m running away from. Tell them to relay I’ll be there shortly. You think it’s faster to redeploy, but that’s if you get a lucky redeploy. It’ll take a medic less time to transfer to different heals than it’ll take for you to wait the 40 seconds from a bad spawn timer. Although I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve had good games as the only medic and end up creating a medic corps in game. It can be quite fun when people start to trust the medics to be picked up.
Yeah. As medic you just have to recognize that sometimes they don't WANT to be revived there, they respawn to get to a different location / meet up with their team / etc.
So a few that annoy: 1. People who pick engineer at the beginning and don't build nodes or use any of the other engineer abilities. 2. SL's/Commanders who don't quite grasp the 200m garrison spacing rule, or the difference between red and blue zone garrisons. 3. Engineers who put nodes in the worst spots, like the midcap or on the wrong side of the sector 1-2 border. 4. People who don't return their empty supply trucks when possible after using it for nodes/defensive structures. Apparently a lot of my frustrations are logistics based.
4. I was playing squad leader, and i had 7000 something points for support, and i was just driving supply truck and build garrisons, and supply dudes who needed it. I had 2/9 stats but my whole team was praising me. It was really fun game. I felt like Euro Truck Simulator :D
One that really chaps my backside is the recon team that takes the supply truck for their personal transportation and abandons it fully loaded to get blown up. Meanwhile commander is screaming for nodes
Lol. I can think of a few more. 1. Class hogger on Arty, example... imagine a tank in front of your squad only to realise your AT is on Arty trying to perform some arty XP farming meta. 2. Using the 1st Supply truck at the start of the game as their personal taxi when they are neither an officer nor engi. 3. The genius who open fire immediately after spawning on OP or Garri unprovoked. Exposing our sweet spawn. 4. Desperate AT who fires rocket on enemy tank without warning the players around it, especially when engi or other AT around it trying to mine or Satchel the tank. 5. Recon and Snipers operating Arty, that may be the same as the first point. But the severity of this is pretty massive lol... it is effectively neutering a very specialised squad that are meant to go deep into the enemy lines to harass back garries and eliminate enemy arty into what any normal locked solo infantry squad officer can do. My 5 cents on it hahaha.
Lol you've written part 2 for me! The supply truck one is getting on my nerves, I saw an engineer driving one and i wanted a AT gun built so I asked for a crate as he went by....he stopped...got out.....and ran off....... He didn't even drop.supllies o build nodes or anything....nearly blew my top
Number 6 players who don’t listen to at or engi when he calls out satchel multiple times to worn them the all of them blowing up with the said satchel and punishing the at or engi for doing his job
I love your 5! And the no. 2 is the absolutelly worst of them all! And I would add one more. Officers building garrison in enemy territory for 100 supplies and getting blocked immediately when it is perfectly possible to build it in your territory 5 meters next to it! :D :D
Had friendly squad dedicate 1hr 30mins to shooting friendly engineers tankers then driving are supply trucks into trench whole fucking round both were lvl 100 + which is the real kick in the balls
Yea the non defenders blow my mind every time. I've been playing for YEARS and 90% of the games I've played not a single person out of the 50 players on my team ever think to defend. It's insane. Before I played my very first game I realized defense was important. How do you go on for dozens of levels losing game after game due to your collective tunnel vision and not think to change strategies? It really makes me lose faith in humanity to see how poorly coordinated most HLL players are. Rant over.
I remember my first real attempts at playing commander. The first time was because no one else hopped on. Immediately got screamed at by a squad leader for not immediately placing back garries and dropping supplies at his exact requested location. Him screaming also caused every other squad leader to just go dead quiet. The next was on a mostly empty server with one squad leader who was one of the most patient and kind people I've met. Edit: By not immediately placing back garries I mean we were 5-10 minutes into a warfare match and no one took commander role for at keast 2-3 of those.
Also: Supports that don't have comms and won't drop supplies when asked Engineers that don't have comms and don't listen to requests to reinforce a point Anti-Tanks that focus pushing the point instead of killing the tank on our flank that command has been asking to be killed for 15 minutes. A big "I love you" to all my fellow last-squad defenders tho
Played commander a few times. It’s tough not because of the job but the people! Try not to take any of what these guys say to you personally. Just try your best and use encourage whenever it’s available. And like this video says utilize all your abilities to punch through lines and secure points!
As a medic I try to do what I can to revive all I can, but the ones that piss me off are the ones that as soon as I get there *poof*, they hit respawn. And it wasn't because they bled out. I could be 10m away and they would do it. So, sometimes I cannot blame a medic for kind of, giving up on reviving anyone.
Since this video came out I tried the Desmond doss achievement and yeah I've seen the otherside of that coin now. I used to be impartial on the issue but now fully on the medic side. Also I made a video of it so.if you want to see me screaming at people for not letting me revive them I got you covered.
When I was a noob the first thing I did (once I figured how how VC worked lol) was state clearly to everyone I was a noob and asked for advice. The community is really supportive and helpful and they are the reason I got to where I am
Same. So many people helped me when I was but a young PVt screaming in a fox hole. Bless em, I'm actually working on a video talking about the most beloved HLL players and those sorts of players are in it
I'm a noob, and the first thing I did was tell everyone I am a noob and ask for advice, and everyone was a massive dick about it and just yelled at me. Weird.
TBH this made me realize that what Officer roles need is just some basic low-level skill check to make sure you understand the basics before people can join your squad. Like you can start a new squad and spawn, but need to use your watch to set an initial OP and that action officially opens the squad for others to join. This proves to all that you understand there's a watch and it lets you build spawns. If you fail to execute the skill check then you'll just stay in limbo until you figure it out, leave, or after 5 minutes it just returns you to the unassigned pool.
I like this idea. Maybe not every game but like a first game as SL and its like a training mode. Tbh this game just needs a full boot camp to go through the roles and game concepts. Even most BR games have a training run first and none are as complex as HLL.
@@McBluffinGaming yeah absolutely. The lack of training mode legit has me not recommending the game to most people. So that all said I also agree that maybe after you reach SL level 3 you could create a squad from the start. But until then, just place an OP to establish the squad is a good start. But hell I'd even be OK with it as a sort of... Permanent mechanic? Maybe even have a special command tent you build at an HQ to activate a squad or something. And that's a permanent spawn point for the squad for the game, as well as a place for just your squad that can always heal and reload ammo from. It wouldn't be used for such most all of the time, but still neat concept and IMO could help make the squad feel more cohesive somehow knowing that they have some kind of special physical rally point?
@@McBluffinGaming I would say SL lock until level 30 (doesn't take long) and Commander lock until level 50.... A level 50 commander is still pretty poor, to be fair, but it allows for some flexibility in intelligence and commitment of the player.
@@JackChurchill101 I'm worried that the game will collapse if ppl don't volunteer for the Commander role more.....i've been in a LOT of matches lately that have NO Commander...it's almost impossible to have a good match with no command on one team, and a good command on the enemy force. I'm lvl 127 and still don't want to do it either. I'm still wet behind the ears at the SL position. Command Chat just gives me a headache most of the time, and can't comm with my squad for all the bickering on Command chat.
I was playing as a squad leader last night and I had NO CLUE I had a watch or what it was even for. At least 6 players were shooting at the ground next to a supply crate I’m guessing they wanted a garrison placed. I just walked around the crate aimlessly then continued on running (they all gunned me down deservingly).
what about the players that take the piss out of driving the personal truck with people in it? like the truck is full and just drive circles in spawn for the first minute of a match. the engineer that doesnt build nodes / defences. the supplier that is holding onto the supplies like its a picture of his grandma. or the best one ever........ the riflemen that trows smoke into the friendly line so you dont see shit while you saw enemies coming your way. love it.
I remeber being squad leader for the first time as a noob and a guy yeeling at me in my squad, "SQUAD LEADER PUT DOWN THE OP!" that guy has been the reason ive mained squad lead ever since
Lvl 36 tried commander after carefully watching how commanders played as squad lead. Won 3 games straight without loosing one obj. Fourth time we were getting pushed back thought I would get my first loss as commander, game froze and I never found out.
#8 happens when all the squads are either full or locked and won't let a new person in. The guy who created the squad doesn't want to be the leader so they create a squad, leave, and play as the role they want to play as and hope other people join that squad so they can hop into the game. Not a bad idea, I do it all the time.
I know, and do understand. Just when the squads filled with people not wanting to step up you have a bad squad. i usually take over if no one else will.
@@JimJamTheAdmin I'll tell you this, when I step up as squad lead and I end up being shit at it and the team starts losing their shit because they play the game every day, and I'm a casual player, it makes me not want to be squad lead. I'd rather have someone who knows how and wants to play squad lead, be the squad leader rather than some greenhorn sTePpInG uP and doing a crap job at it. Idk why this is such a big deal, it's not like it's ruining the game at all
No 1 for me would be sweaty tryhards/complainers, the type of player who will yell at others for not playing exactly how they want. for example, no one wants to drive transport because the controls are notoriously hard and if you crash once or take an unideal turn these guys will yell at you if you play SL and the op has been down for 2.3 microseconds they yell at you, even if you haven't had the chance to even spawn in yet if you're AT and they see a garry they'll yell at you for not seeing the garry either (there's the entire enemy team and multiple buildings between you) You're medic and they go down in the middle of a field while you're completely suppressed by enemy fire they yell at you for not being able to revive them If you're a member of a tank squad and fired 5 shots when they only called 4 shots even though there are still enemies in the open, they yell at you If you're a recon squad and haven't spent the whole 2 hour round camping enemy base, you guessed it, they yell at you I guess just in general toxic players, they made any role with a modicum of responsibility just so painful to play, no wonder no one wants to play SL or Commander. It's honestly so bad to the point where I'm not even mad at players who make squads only to switch roles, especially when match warmup is about to end and there aren't any squads created yet. It's a bit annoying sure but the alternative is there's no boots on the ground and the first cap instantly goes to the enemy team because who wants to just make themselves the subject of abuse like that?
I feel you need to add one more on this list. Players who give up as the medic arrives to heal them or give up when the medic tells them they are almost to them. My buddy loves the role, but hates that people keep giving up when he is about 20M away.
@@McBluffinGaming oh sweet! Currently he is working towards achieving 50 revives in one game, he achieved 26 revives of friendlies in the last session. If you play and see the gamer tag Werepire, you are in good hands an he will get you back up haha.
@@McBluffinGaming if you see my tag out there man, know that my squad is ready to back you up with what you need. Dedicated Medic, Heavy Gunner, Rifleman/AT, Engineer, and SL at the ready.
If y’all don’t like someone laughing and trying to make jokes and make you laugh too, then you’ve forgotten one of the things that make multiplayer games fun. Just remember to be a little looser and try to be more jovial. Helps prevent tilt too.
One of my favorite things about this game is my second game I was forced into a squad lead position and all other 5 members of my squad took turns helping me learn what to do. I died a lot and probably had some bad outpost locations but I put in as much effort as I could because they were doing it for me. 5 accommodations that game from 5 very patient and excellent teammates.
My top ten shit-list.... 1. SLs who don't build garrisons unless you beg them, like they need your permission or something. 2. SLs who don't update the OPs every 2 minutes, leaving 200-300 meters run between spawn and the current objective. 3. SLs who don't communicate with the commander. 4. SLs who Don't Have A Plan and leave it up to the individual squad members to improvise what they should be doing. 5. SLs who build garrisons over the line in the red areas, or near the enemy engagement. 6. Squads who won't defend 7. Squads who think defending means holding the circle and not chasing down the enemy spawn points. 8. Squads who don't coordinate their defense, i.e. with two squads both pushing 100m East and leaving the West defenseless (bye bye back line) 9. Recon units who you have to beg to move to the enemy back line and kill their artillery, who then say "it will take some time" like it's some unexpected, original tactic. 10. Commanders who don't engage with the RTS, and obsess over the FPS, spending more time fighting than looking a the map. - 70% of the commander's time should be spent thinking about the live chessboard and planning and communicating strategy.
I jumped into the commanders role for the first time as a noobie and I tried my best listening to the great advice of the squad leaders. We lost that game but once in a while (I’m still a noobie) I join command and I’ve started winning more games, it’s all thanks to the squad leaders work as squad leaders and advisors
Your squad leader rant cracked me up good. Number 11: the white knight who defends the squad leader who doesn't play the game properly. The only time I ever rage quit a game was when I was begging the squad leader to mark the enemy supplies and then their airhead. (We lost the point and my squad leader was still trying to cap a locked strongpoint.) Another guy in the squad was getting on my case for trying to teach the SL how to play. Like you said, take two seconds to watch a guide video for cripes sake.
I've never had a white Knight before that's interesting. Defo going into part 2. It had been 4 squads in a row of this and still happening every day now. Thanks for watching dude.
@@McBluffinGaming I just had this yesterday, - I was commanding and one of my SLs was panicking, shouting over and over "we need defenders, everyone fall back; we're the only ones defending" and I had to keep saying "there's only two squads attacking, everyone else is defending with you, look at the map"... A little later, we had two tanks defending too and the SL started shouting "tank squad, you have a Tiger behind you!" over and over again"... We all replied "can you Please specify which tank squad and mark the enemy tank on the map"... For 60 seconds this went back and forth, until he finally said "I can't mark it, we're under attack... We need more defenders"... SLs who do nothing but panic and fill the command chat with cries for help are cancer for morale.
I was playing as commander the other day and I had a whole squad of people using my arty just draining my munitions. All 3 guns firing the whole match. After asking them to stop firing multiple times I had to send a squad leader to TK them off our arty so we could have some munitions. I was glad when the enemy recon team came and started killing them as well lol
We have to lock armor squads as Duos sometimes for a couple reasons. Usually, we don't want to deal with a blueberry in the spot, which can be more dangerous than having no one. Plus we usually use discord instead of in-game comms so it gets annoying. We will also lock duos sometimes because we'll run multiple armor squads. So we'll field 6 guys in 3 tanks and use discord as our tank command chat. In those cases we don't need a spotter because our tank group commander will solo a recon or something and provide eyes. After 700 hrs, a good duo doesn't necessarily need a spotter, although you are correct. A three man tank will often be more combat effective.
I've literally never wanted to be squad lead but usually need to jump in because no one else will as a level 37... Thankfully I know sort of what I'm doing but it gives me a lot of respect for good squad leaders
Yeah I'm the same. I enjoy it sometimes but I've had to do it as no one else will....its even worse when you do take over and absolutely no one talks or even bothers to switch class to help.
Haha glad I found this video!! Too funny! Let me add: I had a Squad lead call me out for "not saying I built a garrison". But he RAN past the dropped supplies... so I called him out for not building ANY. And his teammate tried to kill me!! How about a level 75 squad lead who doesn't know how to tag a tank or op. "There's a tank right there and a spawn"... he then placed a move marker there. 🤦♂️ Let's add: Let's teach them. How can you teach them if they don't listen, talk, type. Game is slowly fading!!
Cheers dude glad you enjoyed it,keep your eyes peeled for part 2. You sound like you've found some unique specimens my friend lol. I think the game needs a boot camp ASAP, especially with lots of new players. At the moment it's either a nice patient vet teaching noobs or they just don't listen and do their own thing.
@@McBluffinGaming the games does do one thing right, if you're not a SQUAD, then you get steam rolled. I'm either in a match getting steam rolled or we dominate and win in 30. There's no good back and forth, tug of war matches often anymore.
In relation to number 2. I had a commander who wasent doing shit for the team and was just running around dismantling any friendly garrisons that we placed down. Thankfully he was kicked in the first 5 minutes but he still costed us the game
I play as medic and for me my most hated is the guys who respawn when I get 1 or 2 meters away after I've ran 80 or 90 meters ... If you are gonna do it then just tell the medic you don't want a revive. Also the guys in the middle of an open field under heavy fire still shouting for a medic!
One guy I encountered used a whole tank as his personal taxi to the front lines, at which point he got out and started doing infantry stuff. My cousin got on the turret, gave him a warning, and then when the guy had no response, he blew the guy to smithereens for desertion lmao.
I think you should add male players (or any player) who says shitty sexist comments to female players. Including "Don't you drive the truck - you'll a terrible driver because your female" (everyone is a bloody terrible driver on maps) and "Why aren't you playing the nurse?" (oh gee, I didn't realise there was a nurse role in the game), to "I'll place my garry on you?" and other sexist rude misogynistic crap like suggestions of gang-raping me in the back of the transport. Or like the dude on my own team stalked me the whole game and kept saying "I hate women" and TKing me. I'm actually a pretty high-ranking player, I think maybe they feel inadequate as I know the rules, am a pretty good squadie and tell them what to do. There are a few female players around, and they deserve the same respect other players do. #noplaceforsexismingaming also #justDontBeADick
I'm genuinely shocked hannah, that's fucked up. I'd only seen a handful of female of female players on HLL (well the ones that used a mic) and those times everyone was being decent. All I can say is report these scumbags and wait for part 2! Also check out @soulsnipers discord and server,I know there is a few female players already and everyone's been real friendly. Thanks for leaving a comment hannah and see you out on the field
Honestly, I've come across plenty of women in HLL and I have yet to hear sexism. That obviously doesn't mean it doesn't ever happen, but in general I have to say the community in HLL is rather supportive and friendly. That's at least my experience in 500 hours of HLL.
I was given a verbal crash course in arty while playing with our clan. I was lvl 75 the first time I even tried arty. They just told me to aim at the markers and figure out the elevation for the range. I quickly figured out what elevation is needed and in half an hour of artying I got 40 kills and 2 tks. I even managed to save my clanmate's Panther from being blown up by an AT-gun.
i play medic alot i stopped reviving ppl cuz they release the second i get there the real idiot is the dead guy traumatizing me as a medic to never want to rez you again
When i play as a medic, my gun is barely in my hands unless it is absolutely needed . Stay alive, soldier. I've been playing this game for about a year now and never tried officer's roll engineer or support, but I would love to learn all positions
Yep, always somebody sings in the back of the transport. I went SL once because I stepped up to the plate and I got PTSD. I had trouble dropping OPs but read later it is all dependent on location from friendly lines, garrisons and other OPs. I play Support a lot and communicate with the SL a lot to let him know I have supplies and ammo.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience as SL. It drains me still sometimes and I've got SL maxed Singing is one thing, its the guys playing copyrighted music through their mics that piss me off
@@beardedlordgaming4859 Now I understand the game better I may give it another go. My first time, It was because we had no SL and I was talking to a team mate and he said 'Why don't you go as SL'. 'Ok, I'll give it a go'. I was trying to put OPs down and the option was ghosted, not realising it was based on situation and distance. Everybody was shouting at me and I panicked 🤣
DUDE! i love you said "you know your place" its so weird everyone wants to be the top dog just cause. Its like dude we are all gears in a engine you might not be a piston but it doesnt mean you arent important. Even if the head gasket blows the engine will die.
These are all spot on! Only one i can think of you missed is negative commanders. Doesn't matter if you ask for a supply drop for garrisons or a tank on the only 3 man tank squad they always have an attitude 😂
As a Medic, I personally play because I get to decide who lives and who dies… And I always decide to do all I can to revive my teammates, so they can make sure the enemy dies.
3:00 i actually try healing people but most of the time ppl preferred to respawn instead of waiting for me to revive 'em, like; I'd be 5 feet or meters away and they respawn. Not to forget the fact that 70% of the time i had to run in the open as a LMG shoots at me only to have the guy i was gonna revive respawn.
The players I most hate are the ones who decide to make or play something over the mike that just makes your head hurt or destroys your ears. I did try compander one time and every single squad leader was playing some loud low quality "music", screaming slurs for no reason, or the worst ones are the ones who decide to play some questionable sounds. For half the games I play I am forced to mute the entire lobby because people think ear rape is funny or think that everyone will like to listen to their own "music". I really only use the mic if I am playing with people I know personally or people I know won't do the previous things.
I dont get that too much but thats annoying AF the only time i enjoy hearing music is this one time dude was playing Ride of the Valkeries over a fairly good quality mic and the whole truck was thumping...right until a bazooka round hit the engine
as sombody who has played commander a fair few times its either squad leads who dont listen or people who dont listen to squad leads nobody will defend even after calling out squads by name
The only way to make this video better in my opinion is if the first part showing you die to enemy arty was a headshot. Always just totally loved that about arty. Not only where you killed by some person way back in the rear with the gear they somehow got you pinpoint headshot with a shell. Major, "ok" moment to me. Great video though, subbed!
I played medic for a whole game and it was satisfying reviving teammates and doing well at it. I’m new to the game and am trying to play and learn different roles than just being a rifleman and killing people. I don’t understand why people choose to be medic and not do their job
I mainly play squad leader, and often times the commander will tell me to take out a garrison or defend a chokepoint, and my squad will think I'm just running off to nowhere for no reason, but I do know what i'm doing and the reason why I put my OP where i do when I do...
I love playing medic when i just need to chill for a round. It lets you lose focus of the objective and just run around helping others. I usually pick SL in public games and AT/assault in comps.
I’ve only just started learning to use artillery properly and it’s the most fun I’ve had in a while if you don’t end up team killing. Blasting a squad of 5 enemies with one shell is so much fun
I had an AT guy shoot an over-full transport truck because he got salty that he fell off of the roof, fortunately the server had measures against that and the guy got instakicked lmao
I made the mistake of becoming a squad leader my very first run at the game the other day. It was luckily a short skirmish. The guys were pretty chill though, and told me what to do.
I as a medic tend to try to play in my words superman sprinting around picking everyone up whilst simultaneously becoming a bullet sponge but as long as my boys a healed i feel like om doing a great job
5:05 - 5:09 That right there is also very hard to pull off without good communication. Played with a squad as SL and we did pure logistics the entire game. Had Engi and Support fortifying fallback position (we had defensive on push) while we had two guys running arty together. I was driving supply truck from HQ to the Fallback point while coordinating arty with my boys who, due to HLL being glitchy on console, couldn’t see any marks besides squad on the map. We only did arty for about 15 minutes and my boys racked up 67 kills. We also didn’t have to use our defensive fallback at all due to the effectiveness. I didn’t get a single kill that game and it was probably the most enjoyable game I’ve ever played. Arty boys had 5 plus commendations and I got 2 of my own.
You will be honoured in Valhalla! Seriously love you guys who keep the team running and usually no one notices. I've done it a few games before and your right it's so rewarding.
@@McBluffinGaming yeah I used to hate the idea of running supply trucks, but after that game I am actually fine with it. It’s made me realize how important it is to get those supplies where they are needed.
Last night when I tried playing as commander, people kept on team killing me to the point to where either I'd quit the match or step down. They mostly did that because they wanted to play commander. And the funny thing is that the ones that kept team killing me kept asking for a supply truck, and the ones asking were the blue berries, not the squad leaders so I couldn't hear them. Ironically enough the blue berry was the previous commander. Like if you want something, become a squad leader so I can know what you want, I can't read minds and plus most if not all of the resources take minutes to be available. Fortunately the next match I played, the people were really supportive of me being a commander. TLDR, don't let the toxic minority ruin your experience, this community is a wholesome community.
I started about 3 weeks ago, and Im at about 50h+. The first time I took Squad Lead was when the last SL just left, and I was on a Server that Kicks entire Squads if no one in it has SL. In the week after that, I was SL about 95% of the time because the same thing happened every single god-damn match to me. I haven't tried Commander yet, and I don't want to until I have more hours/lvl under my belt. But playing as SL tought me that Communication is key, and even as SL, you only have a few basic responsibilities (OP, Garrison and giving your squad a direction). If you do that, you are already OK as an SL. Everything after that can only make you better. And your list is very accurate.
As a level 10 medic, I don't even attempt to go revive people more than 50 m away, simply because 99% of the time, they give up before I've made it 10m towards them. Within 50, if I can reliably get to them without being shot, I'll chance it, otherwise if they're in open and very clearly not near cover, not wasting a smoke on someone who's almost certainly going to give up before I get near. If I manage to get near and they've not given up, then I'll use a smoke. Moral of the story, the only people I revive are people literally within 20m of me and even then, they give up 50% of the time. I've had people give up as they died next to me and I started reviving them, that's how frustrating it can be.
Dude. Since this video I've given medic a real go and even pulled off the Desmond Doss challange, and that video shows me learning this lesson the hard way. I had a dude half revived and he quit...I nearly pushed my desk over.
As someone who recently started to play this game, I see two reasons why low level players often become squad leaders: 1 - They don't know how the squad system works, so the most intuitive way to start playing is to click the button to create the squad, since the button to deploy is right next to it and unclickable (so it becomes logical that doing the first thing activates the other). 2 - For some reason, most people LOCK their squads. As a new player, I want to play as basic infantry and follow more experienced players to learn how to get more tactical value in this game. But instead I'm always staring at the screen for 3-4 minutes every time I join a match, looking for an OPEN squad and most of the time none become available. Then I become a squad leader for the sole reason that I want to play (how dare I, right?), and soon enough I have someone screaming at my ear that my smoke grenades are bad, even though I'm doing my best to throw them strategically on a map that I'm playing for the very first time. EDIT: I'm seeing in the comments a lot more complaints of how people abuse the squad system to do stuff that is not how the devs intended it to be. Don't you think the devs could rework the squad system to something that realistically falls closer to what the system is intended to?
My first match, i only ended up team killing 2 by accident. One ran infront of my car and the other ran in my shots. Im proud its a low number for my first match
A year passed and we still have all of them and to top that of my personal favorit blockhead is the SL that builds a garrison or OP with no cover what so ever, presenting every spawning teammate as fodder to a single enemy MG and blocking good spawnplaces in a 200 meter radius. Just give them the Teamkiller-Medal and kick them out.
My problem is the voip never works and I can hear my squad complaining I don’t have a mic while the whole time I’m screaming in hopes voip on xbox will for once in my lifetime work
The level 4 riflemen who drives off with the half track and then leaves it parked in a place that is somewhere useless across the other side of the map, with the engine running
As a Medic Main in HLL I always try yo get to the nearest person and outright say who im going to but if you are hauling ass straight into an open field and expecting a revive right after you are most likely not getting it. With that said people who just become one only to ignore them primary role of the class are the worst
Being a sniper, finding a nice little position, then some MG or rifleman blueberry decides he'll plop himself beside you and totally give your position away. Arh. Bless em.
Yeah blueberries are frustrating, but we were all a blueberry once. I try to be as tolerant and helpful as I can with new players. This game has a steep learning curve and deserves a good community.
I agree dude. I was only teasing the Blueberries. Honestly some of the best SL and Co's I've had have been Blueberries just lisnting and taking advice. Plus I've said before I was taught by this community of patinet dudes willing to take a an old bf vet under their wing
Onetime my squad left me alone so I moved to arty and got over 50 kills with 1 tk and I was verbally attacked by command for the single tk. Once I left arty we lost the point to no one defending and got steamrolled back to the hq's. Everyone hates arty even when you're carrying.
I love playing the medic. I never revive teammates, my job requires me to be far more aggressive. I stealthily sprint (uncrouched) across the map, to the flanks, with my morphine syringe in hand, search out the enemy positions, and POUNCE on them in a very credible attempt to give them a morphine overdose. Haven't had a kill yet, but with 60+ hours of purely this tactic I can feel my luck changing! EEEEERIKA!
I believe in you brother! Keep going, we shall watch your career with great interest.
@@McBluffinGaming Appreciated my good man! I look forward to not seeing you on the battlefield because I'll be running too far ahead, carrying the team with my pro strats ⚕️💊
lmao....awesome...i want you in my Squad!!
Always appreciate a medic that takes point for the squad! Hahah I hope I run into you out there someday ❤️
I've tried playing as medic without murdering a single soul. It's one of my favorite experiences, it's not about getting the kills, it's about saving the poor souls and healing them back into combat. Another part I like to is play some sort of RP (Role Playing), basically what I did is saying I had no gun or lost my gun, giving me an excuse to revive and heal people without murdering a single one.
11. The random squad lead frozen like a deer in headlights in the middle of the point beside 3000 supplies with the commander and half the team screaming at him to build the Garrison.
Good one.
because he's afk....
lmao
Stop I'm crying laughing at work rn
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I jumped in to Commander role only bc nobody else did and nobody wanted the job. I told everyone it was my first time and to just tell me what they needed me to and walk me through it. They were very patient and helpful and we came away with a V!
I hope I'm that lucky for nice teammates....
@@McBluffinGaming Be open and honest about it. I'd rather have a commander whos willing to learn and messes up, then someone who thinks its a mil sim and what they say goes, for example.
We had a level 20 commander who didn’t talk or do much I tried to talk to him for about 30min. Our whole team got so mad at him and I ended up tk him twice after someone hit him with a shovel and he shot me for it. (Bit childish I know) I don’t go commander much but I appreciate a commander who is willing to learn.
I was in game for 10 mins with no commander and no other squads talking. No one built garrisons. So I took it over spawned in tanks, halftracks, dropped supplies, built garrisons, dropped good bombing runs and air strikes. Turned game around just for someone to join 20 mins later and scream at me for doing terrible job cause I wasn’t actively giving commands to squalid leaders who weren’t talking. I was like ok guck this I resign. Now even if the game goes hours without commander I won’t touch it. People would rather have no commander then someone who’s at least trying
i just the other day had the same experience
Missing points
1) No mic players
2) Douchie argumentative/vindictive commanders that start massive fights and shouting matches on the command chat.
3) People using supply trucks as transport
4) Support players not placing supplies
5) Engineers not playing their role at all
6) AT not utilizing AT.
7) The lonely man command chat-where a player uses the chat as his primary mode of general life conversation the entire game.
Support and Engi kit are not attractive. so no one play these role and lose. I played Support a lot, but 4) is also SL problem. They never told where they want to put down supply.
8) AT guys that walk 600 meters to camp enemy HQ
At number 1 must be the no mic thing as a SL and or commander..
I am the 7 but not in command chat 😆
Oof i do the last one in my regular squad chat. Sorry...
I'm a medic main in HLL.
I get the frustration but don't expect us medics to come save your ass when you decided to run into the middle of the field and get shot by machine guns or snipers.
Also don't expect a medic to immediately save you in a active firefight with the enemy in front of us.
Also when it appears a medic is leaving you it might actually be them having to go around an obstacle that can't be climbed or crawled under.
Yeah I know most medic mains would get me if they could, but I keep getting the Medics who just hide and won't even do their job in fairly decent cover. Like not even on me just watching them ignore downed teammates as they scream.....
Thank you for being a medic mai however,not enough of you guys
@adamis acomedian! Agreed. :)
Medic was the first class I got to level 10, so many people get ticked of if you don't go into a field where they died just to revive them. If they persist once I say I can't, I just say it's there fault and move on.
Running through a hail of bullets and smoke 40-60m of hell..to get 4m away and they redeploy. I hate that.
@@rikmang hits me in the feels. Especially when you’re cussing them out about how if they redeploy you’ll leave them for dead for the rest of the game regardless of how close or how safe they are.
The problem with medic is you aren’t rewarded enough to stand around healing teammates. The devs should give generous points for healing like they do for engineers that build.
That's a great idea.
The reward is that you're helping your team win
but ppl would rather shoot guns@@Baconcatboy
@@areyouavinalaff fax I never play medic
@@Baconcatboy Found the communist.
I have actually been hunted while playing medic by my own teammate for an entire hour, simply because i didnt revive him when he ran 30 metres into an open field, covered by 2 tanks and about 10 players. Please understand that the medic is a valuable asset, and sometimes keeping the medic alive is a better option, not saying you did anything wrong, but just for everyone out there keep it in mind
Lol yep just because you’re a moron and have no self awareness on the battlefield doesn’t mean the medic has to do the same in an attempt to save your life lol. That’s their problem and not yours.
I had a guy screaming on text chat to have me kicked for not medic-ing. We were getting shelled and pushed hard on the point. Dude was complaining I wasn’t healing after reviving.
Sorry bro, I see syringes all over my screen. Bandage yourself.
people still get mad when they couldnt get a ride on the truck..
11. Players who create an inf squad just to back out so they can rejoin as a different class
12. SLs who treat command chat as social hour
13. Players who sound like they just ate their mic and turned the gain all the way up
14. Commander / SLs who build red zone garries within 100m of enemy strongpoint
15. Blueberries who use the half track as a personal taxi / don't deploy the half track spawn when they're done
16. SLs who march right by supplies without building a garrison
17. That guy who gets the transport truck stuck half way to the mid point
18. The armor crew that cruises a heavy tank right into the enemy strongpoint for no reason with no infantry support, just to ask for another heavy when they inevitably get blown up
19. The players who won't switch roles, even for a minute
20. The players on offense who linger around the locked sector after losing the defensive point
Well that's made part 2 pretty easy, cheers.
Regarding 11.
If you see which player opened the squad, left and rejoined you can become SL and simply kick them out
The satisfaction feels great
13. Lmao you're not wrong, either mic is too quiet or ear rape loud
I've noticed a lot of people don't want to be Commander cuz they get shitted on half of the time. Like instead of dogging the commander help help him understand. Then you have commanders that go on there and they don't even help they just go on there to collect the points and they don't do anything for the entire team.
Can't be a good commander without out good teammates. Nodes helps em drop more for you.
They probably deserve the shit they are getting.
The other day had a griefer. Said in voice chat right after spawning "Somebody put a satchel here" while he obviously did, right next to the garrison we just spawned in hill 400 map. I got close to defuse it and he shot me in the head. That satchel blew up and got a good chunk of the team killed. When confronted, he called out that he was inocent and that it was i who was doing what he did, reversing the facts. We lost that game just because 1 guy and his friend defending him on the chat.
That's rough
what a chad
@@ramO-jp8tp just a manchild that thinks he's funny by pretending to be edgy. Lots of them around lately. Its good to laugh at them once in a while. The sad part is that they ruin the game for others. But thats their goal instead of actually being good in the game.
When I read you were trying to defuse it and he shot you in the head I died laughing. Man that sucks but it's funny as hell to think about the levels of frustration you experienced.
@@rf2642 I mean, it's a game where players are trying to have a experience. There's always gonna be a troll like that, so it's just matter of brushing it off and move on.
Ofc, that does not mean trolls should be tolerated. If possible, just report them so they don't keep ruining the experience.
THAT ONE RANDOM RIFLEMAN TURNING ON THE GOD DAMN ENGINE ON THE HALF TRACK, DRIVES IT TOWARDS THE ENEMIES AND GETS BLOWN UP!
This one is happened to me dozens of times: when playing a medic, you see a knocked out player, when you try to reach that guy, he just let himself go. Sometimes they let go when you start to revive them. I stopped to play medic because of that.
I feel your pain
I stopped waiting on medics long ago. Most of the time they run away from you. Waste of time faster to just respawn.
@@Tasluk worst part is there’s multiple times where I have to use prox to find someone in the same squad with a downed guy I’m running away from. Tell them to relay I’ll be there shortly.
You think it’s faster to redeploy, but that’s if you get a lucky redeploy. It’ll take a medic less time to transfer to different heals than it’ll take for you to wait the 40 seconds from a bad spawn timer.
Although I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve had good games as the only medic and end up creating a medic corps in game. It can be quite fun when people start to trust the medics to be picked up.
Yeah. As medic you just have to recognize that sometimes they don't WANT to be revived there, they respawn to get to a different location / meet up with their team / etc.
Name suggestion "The Impatient Inpatient"
So a few that annoy:
1. People who pick engineer at the beginning and don't build nodes or use any of the other engineer abilities.
2. SL's/Commanders who don't quite grasp the 200m garrison spacing rule, or the difference between red and blue zone garrisons.
3. Engineers who put nodes in the worst spots, like the midcap or on the wrong side of the sector 1-2 border.
4. People who don't return their empty supply trucks when possible after using it for nodes/defensive structures.
Apparently a lot of my frustrations are logistics based.
Or the random role taking the supply truck (ie not engineer or SL/commander) when a squad lead or eng is chasing down trying to use it
4. I was playing squad leader, and i had 7000 something points for support, and i was just driving supply truck and build garrisons, and supply dudes who needed it. I had 2/9 stats but my whole team was praising me. It was really fun game. I felt like Euro Truck Simulator :D
@@szlacha4 My man! Biggest thing to know about HLL, K/D doesn't matter, it's what you do with those lives that does.
@@szlacha4 awesome...ETS2 is da bomb.
Just like it was in real life!
I have a confession. As an officer I will often either A) forget to place an OP. or B) Try to get my OP in such an epic spot ....but die beforehand.
You and me both brother
Same here
One that really chaps my backside is the recon team that takes the supply truck for their personal transportation and abandons it fully loaded to get blown up. Meanwhile commander is screaming for nodes
Have the commander give them a jeep to use
Getting team killed in a supply truck as I'm on my way to build a garrison or nodes is far more frustrating than the transport.
Lol. I can think of a few more.
1. Class hogger on Arty, example... imagine a tank in front of your squad only to realise your AT is on Arty trying to perform some arty XP farming meta.
2. Using the 1st Supply truck at the start of the game as their personal taxi when they are neither an officer nor engi.
3. The genius who open fire immediately after spawning on OP or Garri unprovoked. Exposing our sweet spawn.
4. Desperate AT who fires rocket on enemy tank without warning the players around it, especially when engi or other AT around it trying to mine or Satchel the tank.
5. Recon and Snipers operating Arty, that may be the same as the first point. But the severity of this is pretty massive lol... it is effectively neutering a very specialised squad that are meant to go deep into the enemy lines to harass back garries and eliminate enemy arty into what any normal locked solo infantry squad officer can do.
My 5 cents on it hahaha.
Lol you've written part 2 for me!
The supply truck one is getting on my nerves, I saw an engineer driving one and i wanted a AT gun built so I asked for a crate as he went by....he stopped...got out.....and ran off.......
He didn't even drop.supllies o build nodes or anything....nearly blew my top
Number 6 players who don’t listen to at or engi when he calls out satchel multiple times to worn them the all of them blowing up with the said satchel and punishing the at or engi for doing his job
I love your 5! And the no. 2 is the absolutelly worst of them all!
And I would add one more. Officers building garrison in enemy territory for 100 supplies and getting blocked immediately when it is perfectly possible to build it in your territory 5 meters next to it! :D :D
Had friendly squad dedicate 1hr 30mins to shooting friendly engineers tankers then driving are supply trucks into trench whole fucking round both were lvl 100 + which is the real kick in the balls
The 2nd point is spot on and occurs at least a couple of times in every single match.
Yea the non defenders blow my mind every time. I've been playing for YEARS and 90% of the games I've played not a single person out of the 50 players on my team ever think to defend. It's insane. Before I played my very first game I realized defense was important. How do you go on for dozens of levels losing game after game due to your collective tunnel vision and not think to change strategies? It really makes me lose faith in humanity to see how poorly coordinated most HLL players are. Rant over.
I remember my first real attempts at playing commander. The first time was because no one else hopped on. Immediately got screamed at by a squad leader for not immediately placing back garries and dropping supplies at his exact requested location. Him screaming also caused every other squad leader to just go dead quiet. The next was on a mostly empty server with one squad leader who was one of the most patient and kind people I've met.
Edit: By not immediately placing back garries I mean we were 5-10 minutes into a warfare match and no one took commander role for at keast 2-3 of those.
As a constant transport driver, you leave at 50s-40s and leave everyone who didn't get on in the dust. Thems the rules.
40 secs earliest
@@McBluffinGaming Depends on the map but usually if you don't leave before 50s you will be late. Beach maps as the US you can leave as late as 20s.
@FindTheFun that's a very good point i stans corrected
Also:
Supports that don't have comms and won't drop supplies when asked
Engineers that don't have comms and don't listen to requests to reinforce a point
Anti-Tanks that focus pushing the point instead of killing the tank on our flank that command has been asking to be killed for 15 minutes.

Played commander a few times. It’s tough not because of the job but the people! Try not to take any of what these guys say to you personally. Just try your best and use encourage whenever it’s available. And like this video says utilize all your abilities to punch through lines and secure points!
3:22 much appreciate for noticing us man and all the hard works it takes dying over and over to keep you alive
As a medic I try to do what I can to revive all I can, but the ones that piss me off are the ones that as soon as I get there *poof*, they hit respawn. And it wasn't because they bled out. I could be 10m away and they would do it. So, sometimes I cannot blame a medic for kind of, giving up on reviving anyone.
Since this video came out I tried the Desmond doss achievement and yeah I've seen the otherside of that coin now. I used to be impartial on the issue but now fully on the medic side.
Also I made a video of it so.if you want to see me screaming at people for not letting me revive them I got you covered.
When I was a noob the first thing I did (once I figured how how VC worked lol) was state clearly to everyone I was a noob and asked for advice. The community is really supportive and helpful and they are the reason I got to where I am
Same. So many people helped me when I was but a young PVt screaming in a fox hole. Bless em, I'm actually working on a video talking about the most beloved HLL players and those sorts of players are in it

@@Wulfjager awesome.
I'm a noob, and the first thing I did was tell everyone I am a noob and ask for advice, and everyone was a massive dick about it and just yelled at me. Weird.
I think when a player chooses squad leader they stay locked for the entire game.
Until they leave the squad, which low levels don’t know how to do either
TBH this made me realize that what Officer roles need is just some basic low-level skill check to make sure you understand the basics before people can join your squad. Like you can start a new squad and spawn, but need to use your watch to set an initial OP and that action officially opens the squad for others to join. This proves to all that you understand there's a watch and it lets you build spawns. If you fail to execute the skill check then you'll just stay in limbo until you figure it out, leave, or after 5 minutes it just returns you to the unassigned pool.
I like this idea. Maybe not every game but like a first game as SL and its like a training mode.
Tbh this game just needs a full boot camp to go through the roles and game concepts.
Even most BR games have a training run first and none are as complex as HLL.
@@McBluffinGaming yeah absolutely. The lack of training mode legit has me not recommending the game to most people.
So that all said I also agree that maybe after you reach SL level 3 you could create a squad from the start. But until then, just place an OP to establish the squad is a good start. But hell I'd even be OK with it as a sort of... Permanent mechanic? Maybe even have a special command tent you build at an HQ to activate a squad or something. And that's a permanent spawn point for the squad for the game, as well as a place for just your squad that can always heal and reload ammo from. It wouldn't be used for such most all of the time, but still neat concept and IMO could help make the squad feel more cohesive somehow knowing that they have some kind of special physical rally point?
@@McBluffinGaming I would say SL lock until level 30 (doesn't take long) and Commander lock until level 50.... A level 50 commander is still pretty poor, to be fair, but it allows for some flexibility in intelligence and commitment of the player.
@@JackChurchill101 I'm worried that the game will collapse if ppl don't volunteer for the Commander role more.....i've been in a LOT of matches lately that have NO Commander...it's almost impossible to have a good match with no command on one team, and a good command on the enemy force. I'm lvl 127 and still don't want to do it either. I'm still wet behind the ears at the SL position. Command Chat just gives me a headache most of the time, and can't comm with my squad for all the bickering on Command chat.
The guys who take sniper team and are only watch and dont let anyone enter being a sniper. They waste space.
Agreed. The recon team in the right hands can be devastating, to deny that potential is kickable
I was playing as a squad leader last night and I had NO CLUE I had a watch or what it was even for. At least 6 players were shooting at the ground next to a supply crate I’m guessing they wanted a garrison placed. I just walked around the crate aimlessly then continued on running (they all gunned me down deservingly).
🙄😁
what about the players that take the piss out of driving the personal truck with people in it? like the truck is full and just drive circles in spawn for the first minute of a match.
the engineer that doesnt build nodes / defences.
the supplier that is holding onto the supplies like its a picture of his grandma.
or the best one ever........ the riflemen that trows smoke into the friendly line so you dont see shit while you saw enemies coming your way. love it.
Hahaha the supplies one got me
I remeber being squad leader for the first time as a noob and a guy yeeling at me in my squad, "SQUAD LEADER PUT DOWN THE OP!" that guy has been the reason ive mained squad lead ever since
Number 1 should be the two man clan squad who have the best OP on the entire map basically inside the enemy point but don't let anyone join them
I got a flush of anger thinking about it
Lvl 36 tried commander after carefully watching how commanders played as squad lead. Won 3 games straight without loosing one obj. Fourth time we were getting pushed back thought I would get my first loss as commander, game froze and I never found out.
#8 happens when all the squads are either full or locked and won't let a new person in. The guy who created the squad doesn't want to be the leader so they create a squad, leave, and play as the role they want to play as and hope other people join that squad so they can hop into the game. Not a bad idea, I do it all the time.
I know, and do understand. Just when the squads filled with people not wanting to step up you have a bad squad. i usually take over if no one else will.
Every time you do that someone else has to step up and doesn't get to play the role they want either. But so long as you get what you want, eh?
@@JimJamTheAdmin I'll tell you this, when I step up as squad lead and I end up being shit at it and the team starts losing their shit because they play the game every day, and I'm a casual player, it makes me not want to be squad lead. I'd rather have someone who knows how and wants to play squad lead, be the squad leader rather than some greenhorn sTePpInG uP and doing a crap job at it. Idk why this is such a big deal, it's not like it's ruining the game at all
No 1 for me would be sweaty tryhards/complainers, the type of player who will yell at others for not playing exactly how they want.
for example, no one wants to drive transport because the controls are notoriously hard and if you crash once or take an unideal turn these guys will yell at you
if you play SL and the op has been down for 2.3 microseconds they yell at you, even if you haven't had the chance to even spawn in yet
if you're AT and they see a garry they'll yell at you for not seeing the garry either (there's the entire enemy team and multiple buildings between you)
You're medic and they go down in the middle of a field while you're completely suppressed by enemy fire they yell at you for not being able to revive them
If you're a member of a tank squad and fired 5 shots when they only called 4 shots even though there are still enemies in the open, they yell at you
If you're a recon squad and haven't spent the whole 2 hour round camping enemy base, you guessed it, they yell at you
I guess just in general toxic players, they made any role with a modicum of responsibility just so painful to play, no wonder no one wants to play SL or Commander. It's honestly so bad to the point where I'm not even mad at players who make squads only to switch roles, especially when match warmup is about to end and there aren't any squads created yet. It's a bit annoying sure but the alternative is there's no boots on the ground and the first cap instantly goes to the enemy team because who wants to just make themselves the subject of abuse like that?
I feel you need to add one more on this list. Players who give up as the medic arrives to heal them or give up when the medic tells them they are almost to them. My buddy loves the role, but hates that people keep giving up when he is about 20M away.
This is actually in the part 2 list coming soon.
@@McBluffinGaming oh sweet! Currently he is working towards achieving 50 revives in one game, he achieved 26 revives of friendlies in the last session. If you play and see the gamer tag Werepire, you are in good hands an he will get you back up haha.

If y’all don’t like someone laughing and trying to make jokes and make you laugh too, then you’ve forgotten one of the things that make multiplayer games fun. Just remember to be a little looser and try to be more jovial. Helps prevent tilt too.
I love people making jokes, and said so. Just some times they go on and on...but alas, mute button.
Mute the people in the transport truck in the beginning rush to the point? Some of the best laughs in the game takes place in that truck lol
You must have some funny fucks in yours 70% of the time mine is shocking. A few zingers
One of my favorite things about this game is my second game I was forced into a squad lead position and all other 5 members of my squad took turns helping me learn what to do. I died a lot and probably had some bad outpost locations but I put in as much effort as I could because they were doing it for me. 5 accommodations that game from 5 very patient and excellent teammates.
@@Willy_the_gunslingin_studentOD beautiful
My top ten shit-list....
1. SLs who don't build garrisons unless you beg them, like they need your permission or something.
2. SLs who don't update the OPs every 2 minutes, leaving 200-300 meters run between spawn and the current objective.
3. SLs who don't communicate with the commander.
4. SLs who Don't Have A Plan and leave it up to the individual squad members to improvise what they should be doing.
5. SLs who build garrisons over the line in the red areas, or near the enemy engagement.
6. Squads who won't defend
7. Squads who think defending means holding the circle and not chasing down the enemy spawn points.
8. Squads who don't coordinate their defense, i.e. with two squads both pushing 100m East and leaving the West defenseless (bye bye back line)
9. Recon units who you have to beg to move to the enemy back line and kill their artillery, who then say "it will take some time" like it's some unexpected, original tactic.
10. Commanders who don't engage with the RTS, and obsess over the FPS, spending more time fighting than looking a the map. - 70% of the commander's time should be spent thinking about the live chessboard and planning and communicating strategy.
I jumped into the commanders role for the first time as a noobie and I tried my best listening to the great advice of the squad leaders. We lost that game but once in a while (I’m still a noobie) I join command and I’ve started winning more games, it’s all thanks to the squad leaders work as squad leaders and advisors
exactly the sort of player this game needs
Your squad leader rant cracked me up good. Number 11: the white knight who defends the squad leader who doesn't play the game properly. The only time I ever rage quit a game was when I was begging the squad leader to mark the enemy supplies and then their airhead. (We lost the point and my squad leader was still trying to cap a locked strongpoint.) Another guy in the squad was getting on my case for trying to teach the SL how to play. Like you said, take two seconds to watch a guide video for cripes sake.
I've never had a white Knight before that's interesting. Defo going into part 2.
It had been 4 squads in a row of this and still happening every day now.
Thanks for watching dude.
@@McBluffinGaming
I just had this yesterday,
- I was commanding and one of my SLs was panicking, shouting over and over "we need defenders, everyone fall back; we're the only ones defending" and I had to keep saying "there's only two squads attacking, everyone else is defending with you, look at the map"... A little later, we had two tanks defending too and the SL started shouting "tank squad, you have a Tiger behind you!" over and over again"... We all replied "can you Please specify which tank squad and mark the enemy tank on the map"... For 60 seconds this went back and forth, until he finally said "I can't mark it, we're under attack... We need more defenders"...
SLs who do nothing but panic and fill the command chat with cries for help are cancer for morale.
I was playing as commander the other day and I had a whole squad of people using my arty just draining my munitions. All 3 guns firing the whole match. After asking them to stop firing multiple times I had to send a squad leader to TK them off our arty so we could have some munitions. I was glad when the enemy recon team came and started killing them as well lol
We have to lock armor squads as Duos sometimes for a couple reasons.
Usually, we don't want to deal with a blueberry in the spot, which can be more dangerous than having no one. Plus we usually use discord instead of in-game comms so it gets annoying.
We will also lock duos sometimes because we'll run multiple armor squads. So we'll field 6 guys in 3 tanks and use discord as our tank command chat. In those cases we don't need a spotter because our tank group commander will solo a recon or something and provide eyes.
After 700 hrs, a good duo doesn't necessarily need a spotter, although you are correct. A three man tank will often be more combat effective.
Tbh yeah in your case that sounds pretty effective.
I've literally never wanted to be squad lead but usually need to jump in because no one else will as a level 37... Thankfully I know sort of what I'm doing but it gives me a lot of respect for good squad leaders
Yeah I'm the same. I enjoy it sometimes but I've had to do it as no one else will....its even worse when you do take over and absolutely no one talks or even bothers to switch class to help.
Haha glad I found this video!! Too funny!
Let me add:
I had a Squad lead call me out for "not saying I built a garrison". But he RAN past the dropped supplies... so I called him out for not building ANY. And his teammate tried to kill me!!
How about a level 75 squad lead who doesn't know how to tag a tank or op. "There's a tank right there and a spawn"... he then placed a move marker there. 🤦♂️
Let's add: Let's teach them. How can you teach them if they don't listen, talk, type.
Game is slowly fading!!
Cheers dude glad you enjoyed it,keep your eyes peeled for part 2.
You sound like you've found some unique specimens my friend lol.
I think the game needs a boot camp ASAP, especially with lots of new players.
At the moment it's either a nice patient vet teaching noobs or they just don't listen and do their own thing.
@@McBluffinGaming the games does do one thing right, if you're not a SQUAD, then you get steam rolled.
I'm either in a match getting steam rolled or we dominate and win in 30.
There's no good back and forth, tug of war matches often anymore.
@@coltoncyr2283 once the noobs get trained up will be good again...unless there is another sale
When enemy's tank decides to camp the arty spawn the entire game cause it's so open he just kills everything that try to knock him out
In relation to number 2. I had a commander who wasent doing shit for the team and was just running around dismantling any friendly garrisons that we placed down. Thankfully he was kicked in the first 5 minutes but he still costed us the game
When 50% of games have no commander and squad leaders leave units, it’s pretty tough to organize defensive and offensive units
I play as medic and for me my most hated is the guys who respawn when I get 1 or 2 meters away after I've ran 80 or 90 meters ... If you are gonna do it then just tell the medic you don't want a revive.
Also the guys in the middle of an open field under heavy fire still shouting for a medic!
Oh man, I feel you. I had that recently just a few steps away and I'd already thrown my last smoke and he fucks off....raging.
sometimes people get up to catch a drink or rage a little and simply redeploy when coming back.
ask me how i know
@@ladmad9196 I think it's because so many medics are shit. And people don't really expect one to come running lol
@@conallmclaughlin4545 as its not worth the time
As a level 10 medic, boy does that hit the feels
One guy I encountered used a whole tank as his personal taxi to the front lines, at which point he got out and started doing infantry stuff. My cousin got on the turret, gave him a warning, and then when the guy had no response, he blew the guy to smithereens for desertion lmao.
What is the issue of sitting on a tank?
I think you should add male players (or any player) who says shitty sexist comments to female players. Including "Don't you drive the truck - you'll a terrible driver because your female" (everyone is a bloody terrible driver on maps) and "Why aren't you playing the nurse?" (oh gee, I didn't realise there was a nurse role in the game), to "I'll place my garry on you?" and other sexist rude misogynistic crap like suggestions of gang-raping me in the back of the transport. Or like the dude on my own team stalked me the whole game and kept saying "I hate women" and TKing me. I'm actually a pretty high-ranking player, I think maybe they feel inadequate as I know the rules, am a pretty good squadie and tell them what to do. There are a few female players around, and they deserve the same respect other players do. #noplaceforsexismingaming also #justDontBeADick
I'm genuinely shocked hannah, that's fucked up. I'd only seen a handful of female of female players on HLL (well the ones that used a mic) and those times everyone was being decent.
All I can say is report these scumbags and wait for part 2!
Also check out @soulsnipers discord and server,I know there is a few female players already and everyone's been real friendly.
Thanks for leaving a comment hannah and see you out on the field
That's terrible.
I've encountered a few female players but nothing weird went down. Game was played normally
Yep, I've had that in HLL but not in Post Scriptum. Admins need to be active.
Honestly, I've come across plenty of women in HLL and I have yet to hear sexism. That obviously doesn't mean it doesn't ever happen, but in general I have to say the community in HLL is rather supportive and friendly. That's at least my experience in 500 hours of HLL.
I was given a verbal crash course in arty while playing with our clan. I was lvl 75 the first time I even tried arty. They just told me to aim at the markers and figure out the elevation for the range. I quickly figured out what elevation is needed and in half an hour of artying I got 40 kills and 2 tks. I even managed to save my clanmate's Panther from being blown up by an AT-gun.
Nice
sometimes i do that cause i like arty or i like using the machine gun.
Just won my first game as a commander... it was stressful but we did it
i play medic alot i stopped reviving ppl cuz they release the second i get there the real idiot is the dead guy traumatizing me as a medic to never want to rez you again
I understand this pain, but if you find a good squad of players who understand the game, you will be less disappointed.
When i play as a medic, my gun is barely in my hands unless it is absolutely needed . Stay alive, soldier. I've been playing this game for about a year now and never tried officer's roll engineer or support, but I would love to learn all positions
Yep, always somebody sings in the back of the transport. I went SL once because I stepped up to the plate and I got PTSD. I had trouble dropping OPs but read later it is all dependent on location from friendly lines, garrisons and other OPs. I play Support a lot and communicate with the SL a lot to let him know I have supplies and ammo.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience as SL. It drains me still sometimes and I've got SL maxed
Singing is one thing, its the guys playing copyrighted music through their mics that piss me off
@@beardedlordgaming4859 Now I understand the game better I may give it another go. My first time, It was because we had no SL and I was talking to a team mate and he said 'Why don't you go as SL'. 'Ok, I'll give it a go'. I was trying to put OPs down and the option was ghosted, not realising it was based on situation and distance. Everybody was shouting at me and I panicked 🤣
Regarding 8.
If you see which player opened the squad, left and rejoined you can become SL and simply kick them out
The satisfaction feels great
I am not that observant but I'm gonna try and keep my eyes peeled now.
It should be possible to track whoever made the squad.
DUDE! i love you said "you know your place" its so weird everyone wants to be the top dog just cause. Its like dude we are all gears in a engine you might not be a piston but it doesnt mean you arent important. Even if the head gasket blows the engine will die.
don't get me wrong commander sounds fun and i will learn it, but i guess some won't learn and that's the issue
@@McBluffinGaming dude im good too much responsibility. i really heckin hate when people run to a arty marker tho. then they punish me! lol
These are all spot on! Only one i can think of you missed is negative commanders. Doesn't matter if you ask for a supply drop for garrisons or a tank on the only 3 man tank squad they always have an attitude 😂
Most people don't even communicate or use discord. But when the whole squad communicates. It's amazing.
Very true. Having said that, I played on Saturday with a 5 player squad all on discord and we were awful lol.
As a Medic, I personally play because I get to decide who lives and who dies…
And I always decide to do all I can to revive my teammates, so they can make sure the enemy dies.
with my aim i cant kill anyone but i can sure as shit make it so as many of my teammate who can aim are alive when i need them XD
One time a medic walked up to me as I was down. Instead of reviving me he read me last rights and moved on
Hahah. I mean...that is hilarious
3:00 i actually try healing people but most of the time ppl preferred to respawn instead of waiting for me to revive 'em, like; I'd be 5 feet or meters away and they respawn. Not to forget the fact that 70% of the time i had to run in the open as a LMG shoots at me only to have the guy i was gonna revive respawn.
The players I most hate are the ones who decide to make or play something over the mike that just makes your head hurt or destroys your ears. I did try compander one time and every single squad leader was playing some loud low quality "music", screaming slurs for no reason, or the worst ones are the ones who decide to play some questionable sounds. For half the games I play I am forced to mute the entire lobby because people think ear rape is funny or think that everyone will like to listen to their own "music". I really only use the mic if I am playing with people I know personally or people I know won't do the previous things.
I dont get that too much but thats annoying AF the only time i enjoy hearing music is this one time dude was playing Ride of the Valkeries over a fairly good quality mic and the whole truck was thumping...right until a bazooka round hit the engine
as sombody who has played commander a fair few times its either squad leads who dont listen or people who dont listen to squad leads
nobody will defend even after calling out squads by name
The only way to make this video better in my opinion is if the first part showing you die to enemy arty was a headshot. Always just totally loved that about arty. Not only where you killed by some person way back in the rear with the gear they somehow got you pinpoint headshot with a shell. Major, "ok" moment to me. Great video though, subbed!
Ahaha that would have been better.
Thanks for the sub as well dude appreciated
Players that get in your half track that you strategically placed and drive them into the strong point because they didn't wanna run 100+ meters
I played medic for a whole game and it was satisfying reviving teammates and doing well at it. I’m new to the game and am trying to play and learn different roles than just being a rifleman and killing people. I don’t understand why people choose to be medic and not do their job
I mainly play squad leader, and often times the commander will tell me to take out a garrison or defend a chokepoint, and my squad will think I'm just running off to nowhere for no reason, but I do know what i'm doing and the reason why I put my OP where i do when I do...
I love playing medic when i just need to chill for a round. It lets you lose focus of the objective and just run around helping others. I usually pick SL in public games and AT/assault in comps.
I’ve only just started learning to use artillery properly and it’s the most fun I’ve had in a while if you don’t end up team killing. Blasting a squad of 5 enemies with one shell is so much fun
I particularly enjoy hearing the headshot noise on artillery...its all the more satisfying
@@McBluffinGaming Agreed, the 1300m Ding! Is super satisfying
I had an AT guy shoot an over-full transport truck because he got salty that he fell off of the roof, fortunately the server had measures against that and the guy got instakicked lmao
I made the mistake of becoming a squad leader my very first run at the game the other day. It was luckily a short skirmish. The guys were pretty chill though, and told me what to do.
The officer who locks the squad and doesn't let anybody in the squad
The amount of times iv been in a field by my self and I my screen goes black and says you where killed by a friendly then I realise it was artillery
Bro you're freaking hilarious 😂 I'm subbing
Ah my dude you just made my day! Welcome.
Just started playing and had some great infantry to help guide me as an officer. I learned a lot and am grateful for what they taught me.
That's good. I'm glad to hear people are still helping out
I as a medic tend to try to play in my words superman sprinting around picking everyone up whilst simultaneously becoming a bullet sponge but as long as my boys a healed i feel like om doing a great job
5:05 - 5:09
That right there is also very hard to pull off without good communication. Played with a squad as SL and we did pure logistics the entire game. Had Engi and Support fortifying fallback position (we had defensive on push) while we had two guys running arty together.
I was driving supply truck from HQ to the Fallback point while coordinating arty with my boys who, due to HLL being glitchy on console, couldn’t see any marks besides squad on the map.
We only did arty for about 15 minutes and my boys racked up 67 kills. We also didn’t have to use our defensive fallback at all due to the effectiveness. I didn’t get a single kill that game and it was probably the most enjoyable game I’ve ever played.
Arty boys had 5 plus commendations and I got 2 of my own.
You will be honoured in Valhalla! Seriously love you guys who keep the team running and usually no one notices. I've done it a few games before and your right it's so rewarding.
@@McBluffinGaming yeah I used to hate the idea of running supply trucks, but after that game I am actually fine with it. It’s made me realize how important it is to get those supplies where they are needed.
recently ive had it where when im medic ill run across the entire map just to have the guy give up when im 10 meters away :)
when playing as a medic i despise players that bail when you are 3m away after braving fire to get to them.
I agree. At least have the courtesy to say I'm gonna quit or something. Don't worry you medics are represented in part 2 my friend.
Last night when I tried playing as commander, people kept on team killing me to the point to where either I'd quit the match or step down. They mostly did that because they wanted to play commander. And the funny thing is that the ones that kept team killing me kept asking for a supply truck, and the ones asking were the blue berries, not the squad leaders so I couldn't hear them. Ironically enough the blue berry was the previous commander. Like if you want something, become a squad leader so I can know what you want, I can't read minds and plus most if not all of the resources take minutes to be available. Fortunately the next match I played, the people were really supportive of me being a commander. TLDR, don't let the toxic minority ruin your experience, this community is a wholesome community.
I started about 3 weeks ago, and Im at about 50h+.
The first time I took Squad Lead was when the last SL just left, and I was on a Server that Kicks entire Squads if no one in it has SL.
In the week after that, I was SL about 95% of the time because the same thing happened every single god-damn match to me.
I haven't tried Commander yet, and I don't want to until I have more hours/lvl under my belt. But playing as SL tought me that Communication is key, and even as SL, you only have a few basic responsibilities (OP, Garrison and giving your squad a direction). If you do that, you are already OK as an SL. Everything after that can only make you better.
And your list is very accurate.
As a level 10 medic, I don't even attempt to go revive people more than 50 m away, simply because 99% of the time, they give up before I've made it 10m towards them. Within 50, if I can reliably get to them without being shot, I'll chance it, otherwise if they're in open and very clearly not near cover, not wasting a smoke on someone who's almost certainly going to give up before I get near. If I manage to get near and they've not given up, then I'll use a smoke. Moral of the story, the only people I revive are people literally within 20m of me and even then, they give up 50% of the time. I've had people give up as they died next to me and I started reviving them, that's how frustrating it can be.
Dude. Since this video I've given medic a real go and even pulled off the Desmond Doss challange, and that video shows me learning this lesson the hard way. I had a dude half revived and he quit...I nearly pushed my desk over.
As someone who recently started to play this game, I see two reasons why low level players often become squad leaders:
1 - They don't know how the squad system works, so the most intuitive way to start playing is to click the button to create the squad, since the button to deploy is right next to it and unclickable (so it becomes logical that doing the first thing activates the other).
2 - For some reason, most people LOCK their squads. As a new player, I want to play as basic infantry and follow more experienced players to learn how to get more tactical value in this game. But instead I'm always staring at the screen for 3-4 minutes every time I join a match, looking for an OPEN squad and most of the time none become available.
Then I become a squad leader for the sole reason that I want to play (how dare I, right?), and soon enough I have someone screaming at my ear that my smoke grenades are bad, even though I'm doing my best to throw them strategically on a map that I'm playing for the very first time.
EDIT: I'm seeing in the comments a lot more complaints of how people abuse the squad system to do stuff that is not how the devs intended it to be. Don't you think the devs could rework the squad system to something that realistically falls closer to what the system is intended to?
My first match, i only ended up team killing 2 by accident. One ran infront of my car and the other ran in my shots. Im proud its a low number for my first match
Why wait 30 sec for a medic to revive you when you can respawn at the nearby OP in less than 10 seconds?
Very very accurate 😂😂😂😂, loved it cause its on point 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
thanks forthe kind words, i'll be making part 2 sometime soon...ish
A year passed and we still have all of them and to top that of my personal favorit blockhead is the SL that builds a garrison or OP with no cover what so ever, presenting every spawning teammate as fodder to a single enemy MG and blocking good spawnplaces in a 200 meter radius. Just give them the Teamkiller-Medal and kick them out.
I started trying to play rifleman to learn the game but soon found myself consistently being sq lead as no one else would. Just try and learn quickly.
My problem is the voip never works and I can hear my squad complaining I don’t have a mic while the whole time I’m screaming in hopes voip on xbox will for once in my lifetime work
The level 4 riflemen who drives off with the half track and then leaves it parked in a place that is somewhere useless across the other side of the map, with the engine running
very good video though, you should play commander more, it's great fun
Lol this one has been mentioned alot, its getting bumped up the list of part 2.
@@jonsnow5057 and thank you dude appreciate it. People have also been suggesting this might have to do it.
As a Medic Main in HLL I always try yo get to the nearest person and outright say who im going to but if you are hauling ass straight into an open field and expecting a revive right after you are most likely not getting it. With that said people who just become one only to ignore them primary role of the class are the worst
Being a sniper, finding a nice little position, then some MG or rifleman blueberry decides he'll plop himself beside you and totally give your position away. Arh. Bless em.
Yeah blueberries are frustrating, but we were all a blueberry once. I try to be as tolerant and helpful as I can with new players. This game has a steep learning curve and deserves a good community.
I agree dude. I was only teasing the Blueberries. Honestly some of the best SL and Co's I've had have been Blueberries just lisnting and taking advice. Plus I've said before I was taught by this community of patinet dudes willing to take a an old bf vet under their wing
Onetime my squad left me alone so I moved to arty and got over 50 kills with 1 tk and I was verbally attacked by command for the single tk. Once I left arty we lost the point to no one defending and got steamrolled back to the hq's. Everyone hates arty even when you're carrying.
Forgot the oblivious tank crews that don’t listen when 5 people are screaming that there is a enemy tank next to them
