Now that Hell Let Loose is out of early access the price doesn't seem to drop too often, but this price is actually pretty close to the early access price.

Slower paced, squad based, tactical, WWII mil-sim lite! But still a lot of fun.

For those who have found Battlefield to be more like Fortnite with each iteration (Fortnitefield?), Hell Let Loose may be worth exploring.

I used to love the early Battlefields on my Playstations. But getting sliced and diced by an invincible katana wielding japanese solider in Battlefield V, and getting destroyed by enemies that basically didn't stop running and gunning made me long for something a little more slower paced, a little more dynamic in the experiences it delivered. But I was a little intimidated by the level of simulation offered by ARMA and Squad. Thankfully Hell Let Loose delivered.

Teamwork and mic is pretty critical for a satisfying experience. Felt awkward at first, as I wasn't used to that aspect of the gaming, but got used to it eventually and now comfortable leading squads.

  Superb game, if any older BF players are here and sick of how fast paced (and shit) the new games have become, I highly encourage you to give this a go.

    Thanks. It was probably always that. I'd like to blame a fat finger for that but it was probably my slow brain. Or eyes.

  If you buy this game:
  1) use your mic
  2) expect to die a lot
  3) no seriously you will die after walking for like seems like forever to someone you won't even see
  4) play as a team with your squad
  5) did I mention you will die?
  6) for god's sake use your mic.

  This game is super satisfying to play once you realise you have to play as if this were a real life situation. That means needing pretty good map awareness, using cover a lot and standing still every so often to avoid catching anyone's attention.

  It's ridiculously hard but really fun to play, even when losing.

  Also the song Erika will get stuck in your head.

    Tip number 7. If you play a lot, join one of the communities. Getting to know new people, joining community events and playing with likeminded players is a gamechanger.

  Curious, how did you all discover Hell Let Loose? I can't actually remember precisely but I think it was from watching youtube vids in late 2020….at the time Post Scriptum and HLL were running head to head. Maybe I went to a JackFrags Battlefield video and then saw him play HLL and thought, I think that's the game I want to play. Ended up building a gaming PC to do it!

  Interesting to see that Battlefield getting lots of hate. Quite justifiably it seems. Yet people still buy it. And then play it!

    I first heard about it from battlefield youtubers way back when it first launched. Played it on a free weekend around Update 9 and was hooked.
