I love being an Officer. When you get a good Commander and the other Officers are solid and you have a good unit that communicates and follows orders it makes the game so fucking fun.

Played officer for the 1st time last night. Made calls and asked questions. Gave command and team thanked me for doing my job. Very fun and helpful community with Hell Le Loose. Don't be shy, get a mic and lead the team

An officer makes or breaks this game. Highly recommended people try it. Didn’t have any interest in it at the beginning but once I started understanding the game and flanks I think it’s the most satisfying class especially when your team is helping you.

Love these guides especially for new players. I'm lvl 127 and still learn new stuff

Biggest type of advice I could add: 1)Do what your team is not doing. They all attacking? You defend. They all going straight head on with the enemy? Flank. 2) If your SL, and you think or say “bruh someone has to go back and defend” THAN DO IT. The expression “If you want it done right, do it yourself” this whole game is that. Do it. There is no I in team, but there is a M and a E. So don’t expect others to do what you need done. Hold yourself to the same standards you expect others to do. This will do two things. Either change the dynamic of your team and they follow your lead and start to get more team oriented. Or they don’t and you realize you’re playing TDM and just vibe.

Started playing a few weeks ago and so far squad lead and engineer are my favorite classes. Engineer is diverse depending on the game mode and the teams situation, so its something a bit different every match. Squad lead is extremely rewarding when you have a squad that is willing to work with you. Feels awesome celebrating tactical wins with your squad. It also helps all players feel purposeful and part of the war machine when they have tactical instruction or a clear plan.

Love seeing more "Guide" like videos on Hell Let Loose, Please continue making them!

Yeah, I find explaining my moving completely away from the objective (to flank) helps a ton. A lot of people, if you don't explain, will just scoff at the idea of not running right into the action. SL is probably my favorite thing to do, just for the strategy, but just now getting into commanding. 9/10 times I'll just start looking to build garrisons in good places.

Solid advice! Definitely a building block for newer players and more knowledge vet players!

I know nothing about this game, but it was an entertaining watch nonetheless

I value the officer role because I can influence a team to carry out Higher’s orders. As for loadout, I don’t recommend the Thompson because it’s uncontrollable recoil. You’re more likely to hit everything around the target than the target itself. I found way more success firing with a semi-auto than a full auto. Playing the Officer role is incumbent on how effective of a communicator you are and leading your team into the fire. It is best practice for an Officer to not die more times than his men. I know the enemy has a say however, being able to identify key terrain and exploiting the enemy’s disposition is vital in staying alive. Great points!

I love playing officer alongside a good commander and support and engineer. I like to flank with my support and engineer and call in a supply airdrop, set up a garrison and fortify the area. Set up a outpost further along the flank

I'm still new to the game, still terrified to touch officer, but I feel like now if I have to, I can do an okay job at it!

Hey Chaotic. Good video man, in my opinion. I'm new to the game and this helped a lot. I hope to see you out there. General Bison.

My issue playing officer is always the over communication. Between squad com chat and proxy its overwhelming. Then ppl get upset when you request less radio chatter and i always ask polity and briefly They could fix this easily with simple update to switch chats off in game with same com wheel, think about it

i love the guide you explain the video very well to were i can understand it keep the great work

I am not a mic guy, but I try my utmost to set down outposts, garrisons (though someone is always faster) and spot. I love the SL role

Players that create or join a unit to play an officer and then decide to leave in the middle of a match are the worst. They not only cutoff communication from other officers and the commander, but the unit also loses the ability to deploy on an outpost.

Happy New Year! Enjoyed the video, as good as ever!

At 10:30 how does this happen? When you're that close isn't it supposed to lock out? Still was funny seeing all those clones materialize before your very eyes like that.

Great info for the noobs and vets! Good vid bud.

Played a few months now , I'm half decent at the game but a little shy , squad lead scares the hell out of me haha.

Man, i wanna be just like Officer Right

I just got the game, went straight into officer. I like to think what I lack in experience I make up for in gusto. I place ops and give call-outs and listen to the sweet supple sexy voice of our Lord and Savior commander. I maybe just need to figure out how to orientate myself and better strategize with my team

Great vids man , keep it up 👍.. I just started on console a couple of days ago, so I'm tryna absorb as much info as possible!

Love the band of brothers reference 😂

Defense is more fun then offense if you have a sqaud that talks and knows the game. If just 2 ppl talk and the rest doesnt follow orders its hell.

Oh that’s fun, you guys get little Xbox logos next to the gamer tag, we have the PS symbol on playstation, and on our side Xbox players pop up with just a controller, I don’t know why I wanted to point this out but I did.

Nice video. Fun to see console version of the game .

You did a great job with this video. Thanks and keep it up!

I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope you learned something or refreshed some basics. If you liked the video, check out my other guides as well!

Sometimes after squad leading for a couple matches I just want to play assault and focus on shooting, then all the squads I join have dog shit comms, don’t place Garry’s and I end up commanding or squad leading again lol

Don't be captain Sobel, it sums it up realy well kkkkk

I hate when officers doesn’t place an OP I’m like tf

Hello, my name is officer wrong, and i see this guide to playing "officer right" and i find it offensive that you dont release a vidoe about me as well

You get my like & sub just for throwing capt sobel in the mud 😂

Well done. You’ve got my sub.

I'm level 70 and not a great SL but I did it a couple of times. In my experience defending is much easier for new players because it gives you time to react to things, until an enemy attack begins. Also there isn't much to do in defense besides building garries with support, getting supply trucks and requesting engineers to build stuff. Another thing is that, often, players will know what to do so you don't need to micromanage them. Giving general orders. In general, I find you only need to give 1) an objective (like a building, a trench, an actual point) 2) a direction for them to look at or move towards (like attack this area from the north and try to hold it). In general people follow it. Always talk first, sometimes good players who join your squad expecting you to use comms and don't hear you talking immediately leave the squad to join another. So always have the initiative to talk even if it's just a "mic check" so that mic players know you have a mic. Usually they talk first but just in case. I met some amazing SLs in this game and the most fun I had were with creative SLs who would come up with interesting missions. My favorite one was when a SL did a stealth AT mission behind enemy lines game with randoms. We would sneak around hunting for vehicles and putting mines. He had us not open fire to not expose our position. It was a lot of fun and incredibly effective.

Lol, Age of History 2 soundtrack 😆 decent vid for blueberries btw 👍

There was an officer on the artillery at spawn... out whole squad hunted him down and murdered him until he switched off officer

Opinion invalid, you are an xbox player AND you bagged my boy Col. Klink from HH. Na for real though good video man, helpful tips

Lol captain sobel

Playing officer is done best by veteran of the game tbh. However without communication the squad lead is useless. So use your mic!!!

I still cant find resources for garrison? Where i can find it ? Sorry for stupid question!)

why cant i drop supplies out the truck where ever I want?

south east asian... trying to play in good ping server is hard, either non coperative chinese mainlanders or getting laugh/mock by experiences by simple mistakes by ausies officers.

I don't want to play as an officer but everybody who plays as one lately that have hasn't been talking at all or at least not to their squad they've been silent or nobody's been playing as an officer at all. I'm better at following s*** I'm not very good at making strategies or of that kind of stuff. I'm good at following orders and that kind of stuff. I'm not sure if that sounds cringy if you're going to play a milsim I don't get how you can have fun while not talking because if you're not going to talk, you're just going to die over and over because this game requires a lot of strategy. It makes me so annoyed. I wish you get punished for not communicating if you're going to be silent, just play battlefield it's an arcade version of milsims and you don't have to talk at all

“Make garrisons. People will thank you for it!” Fucking lies!! Hahah I’ve spent entire games making garrisons and nobody every notices or gives a fuck afaik

Nooo it’s NCOs officers just sign paperwork

I like watching these videos even if I don’t play the role, just so I understand more of how the game plays. Was wondering if you know any communities I can join for Xbox players, or if I could play with you to learn more? Been playing for a couple days but I’m confident I’m not like any blueberry 🫡
