Thank you hopefully now people will understand the importance of building garrisons

Yes those drawings really help put into perspective how the game calculates capture power, etc. Whats more, most people still don't understand that reinforce ability only works when members are inside the black objective circle.

Your in video tactical maps are a helpful tool.

I don't play hll but I play squad and even though the games are different this still applies. You are spitting facts

Well said....every player should have to watch this!!

I know, right?

Nowdays cheating spotters are the problem

It is a mechanic that makes the game special in the sea generic clones out there. I don't understand why noobs dont simply watch a few videos before playing, or simply just play as rifleman until t hey understand the mechanics, so many players who have no place taking SL role but seem to... Or even worse is you have the leaderless rambo squads. While i enjoy playing SL i get tired of it as it is so much to do, i played probably 5-6 decent games yesterday, 4 of them i was SL and 2 as other roles.

I see tons of level 100+ SLs just dropping OPs and that’s it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yep. Seems like every commander falls in that category lately.

“I dropped tons of supplies for you all!” Meanwhile the supplies are all exactly where the enemy are, or entirely in the red zone near the point 😆😭

I've seen so many commanders that are alone trying to build garrisons and get shot all the time.

Dropping Supplies ‘signals’ to the enemy what, and where you are doing this at!

@@sassapop9883 Had this exact thing happen yesterday, kept dropping supplies into the point we were actively losing, once we were losing last objective (most ppl had given up at this point) he said exactly that. I lol'd

in my case, I'm in no out-ofthe-game squad, so I just randomly play with some players I know, but it's tough to gather up. I wish HLL had an online/invitation feature as CSgo has.

You are awesome. We need more teams like this. My discord group does a very similar thing.

@@diverdown81 Can I join you at your discord channel? I have 3 of my friends playing also. We are playing competitive so we know a few things and we are looking for normal people to play with. Send me an invitation link if you're interested. A.M.T.

@@antoniohlupic8173 Absolutely. Good group of guys that I play with. Just got our own server too!

@@diverdown81 Add me on steam please. [WD44] A.M.T. Picture of a fox holding a bag. Croatia.

When the grid goes down, life is going to be just this, a bunch of chaos with nobody knowing what to do and out fucking shit up.

Definitely true. The only thing is we gotta keep that firepower going and in the right area 🤮

I dont have the ability to play squad lead alot. I am level 111 but only level 3 sl. I cant play at home. I only play at work which only works when i can go afk. I know i am a bad SL thats why i dont play it cause i dont want to be a detriment to the team. I want to do me best. But its hard when my job requires be to get off alot.

Being squad lead should be level specific like 35+ But eng should also be able to build garry!

@@DanielDanielsen i think garries should be engeneers and op just for SL

Not to mention recon units not doing anything, probably just to play sniper. I had a game a few days ago where the commander kept ordering our recon squads to take out the enemy artillery that was completely fucking us on middle point. They didn't speak in command chat at all. Eventually one of them asked in the text chat where the enemy artillery was located. Like, if you're gonna play recon at least look up how to play. They eventually left and two guys from my squad went to make a recon unit, but by then the enemy was capturing our next point and it was too late. Players that play a crucial role that refuse to learn anything beforehand make the game less fun.

@@MyNameIsNidos id lpve to play sniper but i dont habe the ability to when im at work so i try not to take crucial roles

Please share the video with new players!

I try that and be as nice as Ican be and I just get, "Shut up boomer", or "When you pay for my game i'll play like you want me too", anything in these areas really. 1 maybe 2 people occassionally agree and we all just get shit on by the entire unit that have no idea how any of it works, with SL that don't have the balls to say something or worse yet agree with the lazies. How many times have you asked AT to set up a 57mm and he doesn't know how, or guide a bazooka/panzerschrek soldier to a tank just to have him tell you he spent his rockets on infantry. On a really "good" day you can tell an engineer to set up nodes and they have absolutely no idea WTF you are talking about and use that to ridicule you because they think YOU don't know wtf you are talking about. Get any of these children slightly triggered about then receiving anythng that sounds like commands or orders and they shoot you and take the timeout. If you are lucky people vote to kick, if it's one of those days he just camps you and hunts you on the map for the entire match because he can see your name...and now you are the enemy. Nothing like intentional friendly fire from a 12 year old with mental issues.

Garrys are crucial but even worse is i see SL's who dont even put op's! Like i get garrys require supplies may not be available all the time but OP is very important for fast spawns and even if theres a garry up in area youre defending or attacking from an OP is still very important, for both decreased spawn timer and a backup if garry goes down or red...

Its the bf/cod zerg rush mentality....

My experience as a very new player who played squad lead 3 times is that no one else wanted to play it and i resoned im bettre than nothing not understanding what a squad leader should do.

@@efbiaj that’s exactly what happened to me as well. Played for a good 12 hours and then got tired of squad leads leaving my team. No one would take the spot so I ended up picking it up. Now, I take squad lead without hesitation, but have the problem of losing members because I recognize that in certain modes a rear guard is important. I’ve been yelled at and congratulated for making my squad a rearguard. We’ve won games by being a nuisance for counter captures more often than not. It’s really hard to find those teammates who will stay in your squad in order to do that effectively though..

I played a game where there were literally no spawn points outside of the starting HQs and I decided to become a dedicated SL from that point on.

Honestly, the Rambo part ain't what makes you a good squad leader, at least to me. It's if you are actually playing the objective, building and setting up garrisons and outposts, actually utilizing command chat. Do this, you are worth more than a Rambo who can't do anything strategic.

Don’t worry man just asking your more experienced teammates can give you plenty of information

There's no point in having good garrison placement if the defense squads won't patrol them. This game has issues and issues player related. You have a red garrison and some squads are like "Oh no... Anyway."

Well said, i watched these soon as i got the game and it has made learning everything so much faster. 60 hours in and in the last 10 or so everything has just just clicked.

99% of the time you shouldn't ask the commander for supplies for a garrison. You might as well fire a flare and fly a plane over with a sign saying "hey enemies! Here's our garrison! Please destroy it!". If a squad leader refuses to play support, explain why it's important and that it literally takes him around 60s to do it and go back to playing. 20s to redeploy, 20s to spawn at OP (max), 20s to redeploy again + 10-20s for op respawn. If they still fail to help, then kick them off the squad since they don't deserve to spawn on your OP either.

Best way to do it without commander, is a supply truck. However, it makes you an easy target for tanks and AT. Also you can place op, and ask other support guys, besides the one in your squad. Additionally, you can just switch to support yourself, unless it's not taken. And last but not least, find a group of friends who enjoy this kind of game, so you could communicate much clearly. Unfortunately I'm not so lucky with the last one, but I manage to get around.

There's been a huge wave of new players recently and while that's happened before, this last wave has this "I know how to play FPS games, don't preach at me" attitude. This combined with many of the best SLs I know just staright up being tired of having to play Kindergarten Cop in every single match has resulted in the game being more frustrating than ever before I think.

Join a clan, play with 2 or 3 squads at the same time to avoid this problem

@@dzengerink that just causes you to steamroll. 2-3 good SLs on one side vs a team with no good SLs is like playing 50vs15 players.

@monoespacial yeah, the “I know what I’m doing” attitude in this newest round of players is really annoying. I had a low lever Commander who kept spawning half tracks on Kursk. I was playing armor and he kept giving us medium tanks and we did our best, but that only does so much against IS1’s. I kept explaining this is text chat, but the CO kept saying infantry not armor wins fights. I had to go SL so I could explain that Kursk is an armor heavy map, that mediums don’t stand a chance in long distance fights because you can’t maneuver to get a heavies side at 700 meters with no cover, and that relying on the half tracks on Kursk is just burning fuel as they get hit from hundreds of meters away by tanks. Once I (politely) explained this he changed his mind, we started building garrisons and getting heavy tanks to support infantry and made the game competitive. We ultimately lost 2-3 after taking and losing mid, but it was a lot better than the 1-4 hold before.

Hell of a lot more fun than running rifleman and dying on the front over and over again

A lot of people don't really get your logic, to the point where they start complaining about why I've built a garry 'so far' from the point. I feel like with the Christmas discounts came a huge amount of people who all managed to get to lvl 50 without really learning anything about the game.

At least you have seen the error in your ways, takes a real man to admit when you're wrong.

I really like your idea of allowing the commander to award players. Great idea!

100% agree. Spawn point game and garrisons are the key to taking any point in a fairly smart command structure. I’ve been that guy sneaking behind a point taking out Garis and ops. 75% of the time you end up capping the point after because the next Gari is 250 meters away. Ive also been on the receiving end yelling at squad lead to inform command that we are going to lose out back gari… and then watching us go from a 4-1 lead to a sudden 0-5 loss due to enemy scouts and a gari.

@@jonathankahl6302 Just had a game like that. I was commanding and dropped supplies everywhere. My team was taking out their garrisons. We were at 1-4. then suddenly went 5-0 because we placed garrisons immediately with the supplies I had around and the other team had no garrisons... :P

@@commandercrane1945 Yeah. When commander has squad leads and a few people under their command that want to actively play builder then you can throw the game to your favor really quickly. Not to mention the use of info for enemy garis on the map from squad lead spawns. If things are played right and command/squad leads actively communicate and share resources then games go smoothly 85% of the time.

Commanders not building garrisons seems to be the norm now. It's so frustrating that a mechanic you don't really have to engage with for more than 2-3 minutes IF EVERYONE ENGAGES WITH IT is destroying the game because people are too selfish to listen to people trying to help everyone have more fun with the game.

@@monoespacial the commanders I've met that do so have also high level.

I always first take the supply truck and build two garrisons towards the neutral sector, then I go back and refill the supply truck and build one garrisons very far away from the offensive point, so far away that nobody can find it, then I take my second crate and drop it a bit closer and then I drop my OP and ambush, take out the enemy starting garrisons and push the point. I always crush them. If the enemy team hasn't lost the point before I'm done

Heheh thanks! Spam the HLL discord!!!

@@MikeCampo thank you, but that wouldn't be fair to other content creators who've also made a lot of guides for the game. I really think a static image with a bit of text explaining the whole garrison thing (aka garrisons being the most important thing ever) would be enough.

100%. Tough, balanced matches are the most enjoyable ones.

I've been commander, marked supplies already on the ground with the 'place garrison' marker, and asked squad leaders to build a garrison on that mark, and still no one does it so I end up being the one doing it all game. So frustrating!

That's actually not a bad idea!

Thank you very much!

Oh man! It's happened so often!!!

Or take down the food table thinking it's a garrison

@@SkankNasty The ones by the trucks always get me.

@@SkankNasty LMAO!

As long as you build garrisons then you're thousand times better than the most lvl 100 squad leaders I've met.

Its a hard-core shooter / sim ,there's already a decent tutorial telling you how to play the game if u don't like it go play bf / cod lol

I play a squad arma, rising storm reshuffling sounds good tell its splits your 10 friends between the 2 teams

I would and wouldn't agree on that. While you have a point there, I've noticed more than once that we our bound to lose if nobody is on the attack putting up pressure almost constantly. I like defense actually, but when there's nobody on the attack pressuring the enemy, and there are no good attacking garries, the defensive squads on the opposing team get bored waiting and join the attack which makes our lines crumble much faster and then the defense is bound to fail after some time. You need someone attacking in order to keep the part of the enemy away from your oen strong point.

I actually started the channel making videos in spanish, but I never got any views. I don't really have time to translate these and adding subtitles takes me like 1h30min or so for a 10min video so that's also usually not worth the effort either, unfortunately.

@@monoespacial yeah I can only imagine.. well HLL is fairly recently sticking inside latam community, so I get why you never got any views in your spanish vids. Cheers mono! You tha best, dude! thanks for your videos

In my experience, there is no "will" to begin with. It can't be broken if it doesn't exist in the first place.

I spend an unhealthy amount of time looking at the map. I pop it frequently while running to use ops and garries as intended by paying attention to red warnings and full red outlines. I don't even play SL but I'm constantly beelining to red spawns to hunt infantry and I do it alone because on the map anyone nearby is spawning and running off. With a full red outline you don't even have to hunt it's confirmed there's a guy on that spawn very very close. This tells me that most players are not checking map often enough.

Commanders very often don't build any garrisons at all, when that's what they should be doing for almost the entire match. I'm a dad. If my kid doesn't do something that I ask him to do, I do it myself because I don't want him bothering other people. A commander should be building garrisons if the squad leaders aren't, not blaming them.

@@monoespacial Well this is price's law at work and its fundamental to human nature. The square root of the number of people working in a given domain produce half the output. So out of 50 people 7.07 do half the work.

Yeah Team 17 can keep making excuses but they should have had at least some kind of basic interactive tutorial a year ago. We didn't need more maps, or guns, or better looking hypertextures nearly as much as we need players who know how to fucking play the game.

@@scottwatrous I reached lvl 5 auto rifleman and the achievement said 1% of players have got the achievement. This means that less than 1% of the player base has access to the new weapon. New content is nice and all but why spend resources adding content when less than 1% has access to the content? I wish they'd fix the foundational gameplay problems plauging the player base instead of adding guns nobody can use. I wish there was short mandatory tutorial that explains spawns garrisons and supplies before new players can join a game. The field manual isn't enough.
