One thing that I forgot to mention is that in offensive game mode there are predetermined Ggarrison's for the defending team. These are special garrisons that cannot be destroyed by explosives and do not count towards the 200 m rule.

This is one of few games in which I really feel like a complete idiot when playing. Cheers for these videos.

I've only just got this game, I have 1500 hours on squad, and this is now my go to game, absolutely brilliant, the sound the graphics, there's moments in the game that I feel like it's actually for real, it must have been scary as fuck to have fought in that war!

This guide really helped me and my mate get along in this game. I really knew that it had some Squad mechanics and gameplay features, but now I understand them. 1. Spawn 2. Build Garnisons 3. Win!

Started playing this game 3 days ago and I'm completely addicted to it. Even though sometimes I just walk, walk, walk, take cover, walk, walk, die, and repeat. It's still good! And nothing beats (so far) finding a good position for your mg and pinning an entire squad down for your team to flank and obliterate :D

This game is actually goated. Especially since modern history was my major subject in high school, I know the context of most of the maps in the game. So now I can actually experience the battlefield.

Played for the first time last night. 20 odd jerries killed later and I'm absolutely hooked.

The update is not out yet , but you still managed to create a new guide . RESPECT

As a player with 1500+ hours i wanted to thank you for making this content for the new players. We also have met on the competitive battlefield already ;)

I swear, this update had me playing Squad leader more often because people still have no idea how to play SL.

New console player here 👋 great video, I still feel lost! Lmao! Played my first few matches yesterday. I gotta say, I chose to play medic going in bc I feel like it’s a straightforward role. And I never felt more pumped to revive people. I had people screaming for me, saying yo medic! Yo medic! Hey man help me! It was intense as fuck. I eventually went around reviving so many people I could hear in proximity chat “yo that guy’s back again!”. It was cool as shit. I also found that there’s a lot of toxic people playing this game. Ran into a few assholes already with weird ego complexes when playing certain roles.

Just saw the open beta on ps5. Loaded it up. Spawned into a game seemingly in the middle of nowhere with no idea what to do and very high aim sensitivity. Ran around for 10 minutes trying to find some sort of objective or other players. Got one tapped from across a river... Closed the game and came to youtube for much needed help!

Big thanks for all the tips and videos. Im about 80 hrs in and your tips have gone a long way to help me have a lot of fun in this game. Just won my 3rd game as commander. Thanks again

I've never been to war and this game seems to represent what it looks like. This is a FPS which isn't about skill but about focus and strategy. What a good game

Thank you for this video. The game does feel like a PhD thesis when you first launch it (I can never understand where I should even run)

My experience has been *spawns* *walks past bush* *dies* Asks myself where I got shot from.

I played this a couple times. Didn't know what was happening but thought it looked beautiful. Went back again and fuck me it's good. It's scary as hell, confusing, hard and frustrating. Definitely a good war simulator.

Awesome video man. Playing on the xs. Been waiting forever for a good hardcore shooter game on console. I found myself not even shooting. Just spotting enemies for my team. Such a unique game. I really hope they keep this as a series.

Thank you very much! I got killed a ton when I first played on ps5 but in my second match I hid in a bush while the whole enemy team ran around me then was able to flank them. Got about a 10 kill streak which isn’t amazing but was the best I had ever done. I didn’t know if I could place an outpost or not but now know you can’t unless in friendly territory. Thank you for the guide

About the nodes, from my experience (obviously much less than yours) they ARE able to be built in the first zone of the map and still generate resources. I take on logistics role very often and we use this in my squads to keep them very far back

ARE YOU READY FOR TOMORROW!!????

I just want to say… thank you so damn much for this video. I got the game for my ps5, and have been having an absolute blast, but the game doesn’t explain any of this shit to you. Even reading all of the information in the barracks screen about what role does what, it doesn’t tell you that there are different load outs and that’s how you get to use different things. It was driving me crazy. Thank you for this.

Just got it on PS5...your tutorials are great!

Played my first session tonight, brought me back to when I played WW2 Online. So awesome, great community too, very helpful!

You can build nodes in the first two squares just drop supply’s from a truck in square 3 close to the border of square 2 and build in square 2. This will keep your team from losing all your nodes if your team gets pushed back to your last point

Great guide. Thanks! This really helps me as a new (console) player! This pacing in Hell Let Loose gives such a good breather from my other go-to game Battlefield. Love it.

People also need to realize that in order to build as an Engineer, others in your squad must be diligent in providing you with supplies.

"Knowing where you are, is the only way you can know where you're going." -*TallGrass*

The COH music was a nice touch👌🏽

Nice work!

Clicked faster then the PPSH can fire!

Thank you comrade, I am ready to defend Stalingrad tomorrow!

Coming back from a long break. This was very helpful so thanks. I wish they would add a radio class unit that dealt with all the command chat. I think the squad lead needs to be relieved from command chat there is just too much to do as squad lead. I get that having a communicative radio operator would be very important then but I still think it would be a big improvement in squad cohesion and ability to communicate effectively with your squad leader.

Since the games coming to console I clicked in the video and oh boy…is there a lot. Once you brought up a calculator for arty I was like “nope”. The recon class seems fun with a friend

Mono, your videos/tutorials are excellent!!! But please, if you can "include" something like a "how to defend" section in a future video, please do so. I play public matches all the time and it's frustrating sometimes to see the entire team inside the strong point "defending", while only me and my squad are running around the sector and fighting for the flanks. "Defending" means "patrolling the sector", covering flanks and looking for where the enemies are coming, but people think the best "defence" is to sit down inside the strong point and wait for the enemy to arrive to kill them... it's sad :(

this game is hella scary sometimes, bullets flying everywhere and you don’t know where the enemy is and the occasional bombs raining down from the sky and under fire suppression is terrifying, now i have a glimpse of how scary it must’ve been to actually fight in wwII

Such specifics and you said that you “weren’t going to go in detail” thank you for this I love it

Cant wait to play Kursk map tommorow some Tiger I vs IS and T 34 action hell yeah baby...

Very-very good highly informative guide. Thank you.

Your first vid got me my first few kills like months back. I took a break before the eastern front releases so probs worth a watch so I am not that squad member!As always, top notch work mate.

Never played this game before, when I first got in I thought this was the running simulator.

Hi Mono! I believe this video will be extremely helpful for the new players. Well, I learned a thing or two from it after playing HLL for about 200h... so thanks a million for your great work! There's one thing however that feels like a missed opportunity to me. It feels like this incredibly useful data might have been structured differently to help players (especially new ones) understand it better. Here's the idea: 1. What's HLL about? (map control, game modes, sectors, strongpoints) 2. How do you contol the map? (garrisons, OPs, airheads, nodes) 3. What roles you can take to help your team control the map? (everything you sad about every class) 4. How do you work together with your team? (communtication, proximity chat, ping system) 5. How do you start? (select a team, pick rifleman, die a lot, cry deeply) So the information you're conveying in this video wouldn't change a bit... only how it's structured. I'm not trying to criticise you, I respect you very much. So please take no offence

I just started this game, and I’m new to pc and m/k. This game is pretty newb friendly. This game is awesome. Most veteran players understand and help new players. HLL has an awesome community! I can’t wait to get the hang of it!

Iraq vet here. This game itches the squad teamwork itch I miss from those days that a lot of games miss out on.

This game is something special. Played 2 nights ago and I can’t put it down. It has such great tension!

Love the Battlefield music in your vids

That mine spot in the early part of the vid was gold.

Thanks, man. I think I understand things even better, since I just came from your quick start video

i tried talking in microphone once with my broken english and got told to leave and TK because my accent great game you have there

I enjoy playing officer, especially the 3 voice channels at once, in daily life i am a tugboat captain. And i work with a minimum of 3 communication channels at once at any given time. So i find peace in the chaos... if that sounds right🤣

Battlefield 1 music in my Hell Let Loose video? Yes, please.

Haven't even played, but I know I would love it no matter what .__.

Just purchased and ready to dive in. Thanks for the guide!

Thanks for this video, saw a few clips and finally caved. Bought the game, is installing, watching a bunch of these vids while waiting :')

There are language specific servers, so if you're for example German there are servers where the spoken language is German, the spoken language is usually in the server's name so make sure to respect whatever language is specified in the server's name and rules. I've seen a lot of people get frustrated because they joined a server where they could not communicate with their teammates due to a language barrier. Don't expect others to switch their language, even if they can speak it, just because you joined the wrong server.

I'm coming up to the 300hr mark and I'm just loving every moment of it. HLL is a great game.

I’m learning how to play hll and this helps so much

Started playing just last night and i wouldn’t say im hooked or in love with the game but experienced some of the funniest game chats I’ve ever heard. Mfs were hella funny Update: So 3 whole days of playing the game almost all day and still not loving the game, just not my type of game. It feels as if though you always have to take the game seriously or you’ll lose, like as a squad leader I cannot say anything funny without being met by silence or shins from the other officers and commander lmao

12:54 also, the recon squad’s Outpost is the only OP that will remain when you lose a sector!

watched it till end even tho im not a new player. amazing video GJ mono, keep up the good work

I have this game for 2 days, played 4 battles and i must say that this game is so good that I’m not even gettin mad when i get killed randomly.

I’m having trouble staying alive, I die before I see anyone.

I just got this game and was instantly annihilated. This video really helped. Thank you!

Your videos helped this game quickly become a fav for me!

Wow, I don’t know whether to feel overwhelmed or excited to try this game out. Nabbed it for free when it was the PS+ game but had yet to check it out. Seems I have a lot to learn.

Fell in love with the game. And community. Really fun!

You have helped me a lot with your guides, keep it up!

It's amazing how many times I'm following a group of teammates and I get one shot in the back but no one in front of me got hit. Either the snipers are next level or I have the bullet magnet helmet.

dudes getting pissed talking about garrisons hahahaha guess he's had some bad experiences

2:00 Seven people if you're lucky. Communicating Leaderships needs to units, and units needs to leadership and then where enemy positions are to both. It's a good time lol.

I need exactly this, thank you.

Good vid as pretty much always. Looking forward to checking out update 10 tonight!

When my freind said the game was excessively realistic i didnt expect the "freshly enlisted clueless recruit, fumbling around trying to learn the basics in a active firefight" experience.

As always quality content and info ! Thank you sir !

Excellent guide Mono. Thank you. Looking forward to the competitive scene held in the new Eastern front maps as well.

Liked, Shared and Subscribed! Great video, please keep these up!

Really good video! Thank you for uploading

great guide, thanks Mono!

Awesome video more players need to watch this Guides!

I was going to get this game but I’m not that chatty playing games and all videos I have watched comms in this game is essential.

great guide as always, i just wished you had one or two lines about recons job being getting behind enemy lines and destroying spawns/etc

Mono you are doing a good job.Thank you

game chat makes this game imo, didnt enjoy it till i really started communicating w my team

This game looks amazing. Definitely buying!

Just got the game last night... So you know how that's going

Brilliant upload mono 🔥📈👍 Also what app you use to have cpu/gpu fps usage shown ?

Thank you for this video, I’m new to this game. Been looking forward to trying it out and it looks intimidating as hell. From what I have watched people seem to take this game very seriously, and I’m not very good at shooters and I don’t want to get kicked 😅 for doing something wrong. Well I take that back, I use to play shooters back in the day before COD became a trend. So.. thank you for the video, very informative and now I’m gonna go get my ass kicked by seasonal players🤣😂🤣👍🏻

Just started playing! This game is going to be a great service for many years to come! I feel blessed that it's on Xbox! *Thank you BLACK MATTER dev team!!* ✊️ #holdtheline

Just started playing nice vid mate subbed and liked

Remember don't go commander if you just start playing you'll feel like your highscool straight up britality

Auto rifleman slaps. Stg 44 is so good

This game will make you feel like you drafted yourself into the military with little to no training, it is not like Battlefield or Call of Duty since those games are more arcady. Hell Let Loose is more like realism and simulation combined to create a unique war-like real life experience, if to put it into that perspective.

4:14 Funny supply drop :D

I really wonder if it wouldn't be the sensible thing to do for the devs to mark the actual sectors on the ingame map. It would help people understand the concept of capturing and defending and it would make the map more readable. Even though I understand the concept, largely due to your videos i might add, even I find myself sometimes having a hard time figuring out which square belongs to what sector. Some strong points are located at the edge of their sector, making the square right next to it not part of the thing, which means you have to manually count them out by mentally changing the map into a 3 by 5 grid, which is just not very user friendly. I think making the sectors more visible on the map is 2 birds one stone: Quality of Life improvement AND more guidance for new players. Or maybe they should just do a small tutorial. (and no I am not talking about the text things in the main menu, honestly who reads those?)

Mono, make a video explaining how effective one player can be vs the feeling that one player can cost the game.

lol I sat for a good 7 minutes figuring out how to calculate and fire the artillery, shot one way off target and then was killed by a spawn camper. Point being, definitely gonna try that calculator. Thanks for the video man 🙏

13:57 Please listen carefully. Listen and repeat. This is it!

Good video. We need you to make a video with the new armor mode, were to to hit tanks with the AT rifle and with other tanks.

Im an Insurgency player just downloaded this kinda nervous about it but if i can play that i most definitely can learn this so new future teammates i apologize in advance 😂

Hope that console players will play this game the way it’s meant to be played, and not just turning it into a giant game of running and gunning.
