You might start at a disadvantage, gain the upper hand and then get beaten back again several times in a single game.įor instance, in one match I played as the Germans. The extra time, together with the enormous maps, makes for games that can change a lot over the course of the match. Naturally, it can end early if one side takes the other’s HQ, but in my experience, you’re in for at least 1.5h of game time in each match.
HELL LET LOOSE ARTILLERY FULL
One game typically runs for two full hours. Matches in Hell Let Loose are also a great deal longer than what you might be used to. The commander role from Battlefield 3 also makes a return here, and it is the commander who can call in everything from supply drops to strafing runs from attack planes. Losing too many tanks or firing off too many artillery shells could potentially make you a whole lot less effective in the later stages of the match. Each side has a certain amount of resources at their disposal and calling in tanks, supplies, and artillery strikes all deplete these. One of the more unique things is that aside from the realistic FPS action, Hell Let Loose has a light strategic element to it. It also makes for matches that can turn on a dime and the frontlines will shift back and forth a lot over the course of a single match. Did I hit that guy over there or did he just go prone? Did my grenade hit anything or was that only a pile of corpses I chucked it at? Are we actually winning or are we losing here? This inclusion of the “fog of war” we are familiar with when it comes to strategy games makes the battles in Hell Let Loose have a rather distinct feel to them. Do I take the shot now or wait until I can get into a better position? This risks, of course, being spotted yourself and killed before any such maneuvering can happen.Īdd to this that there are no hit markets nor confirmation that anyone has died, and encounters with the enemy turns into long, incredibly tense ordeals where you are unsure about what exactly is going on. It a little bit akin to how fights are in the early moments of PUBG. This makes precision and knowing when to fire much more vital than in many other multiplayer shooters. Often you exchange fire with enemies who are 500m or more away. The combat itself is also more drawn out and nerve-wracking when compared to the fast-paced action romps you have in Battlefield V. It is also 100 players duking it out so you have the potential for some really massive fights to erupt. This makes the battlefields really feel like battlefields, with enough room to move around and execute real flank maneuvers.
Levels are huge, really, really huge and running across them can take a good while. On a surface level, Hell Let Loose plays like a Battlefield game with a few extra helpings of realism. Those were some of my first moments in Hell Let loose, a new multiplayer shooter set in the last years of World War 2. No medics around so the only thing to do is respawn and run up to the frontline, again. I take aim to see if it’s friend or foe and– bam, a bullet finds me and I go down. I spot someone crawling around in the underbrush, 200, maybe 300 meters away. The Panther’s cannon lets out an angry roar and something erupts in flames on the other side of a ridge. Shadows dart from tree to tree in the distance. Then we walk again and walk some more.įinally, we’re at the front line.
At some point we make a makeshift camp, put up some supply depots and a respawn point. Our area seems quiet enough at this time, but I can hear mortar shells erupting in the distance, and airplanes coming in for a strafing run. Trees everywhere, blocking our line of sight and providing cover in equal measure. Our squad follows the Panther tank as it makes its way through the forest.
