Any guilt I feel winning as the Germans is eliminated by the triumphant catchiness of Erika

So I just want to say here that I love the sound design of Hell Let Loose. The explosives actually freaked me out at first, because when I was in Iraq mortar shelling was pretty common. The artillery sounds amazing, and it’s always hilarious just walking around before everything suddenly goes quiet and you see “Killed In Action” out of nowhere.

Rules of thumb when traversing maps: The terrain, bushes, grass, rubble, and blown out buildings are your second most important team mates. Use these allies to find any and all ways you can think of to flank positions. Moving straight ahead is the cone of death in almost all instances. Think it’s hard spotting enemies? Well the good news is you are just as hard to see for them as well so use this to your advantage! I can’t stress this enough! I’m not even exaggerating. I’ve had entire groups walk right by me as I was laying prone in a dense bush mere feet away from them. Watched boots go right by my face and not a soul noticed me! In addition, making noise in this game can be your undoing. Players can hear each other. Foot steps. Water splashing. All of it. Mask your noise by doing things when shells and explosions are going off when your stealthing. Good news is, your can hear them as well. Stopping to listen to what’s going on is just as important as what you can see. Next: Don’t be afraid to put in a slow lengthy hike. I have in some instances traversed way off the beaten path away from the action and spent 10 to 15 minutes just getting to the enemy lines and then spend another 10 trying to get through to strike blind spots. It’s a tedious endeavor inching your way at a painfully slow pace. Sometimes doing a prone crawl through entire sections the whole way. It’s a time consuming gamble, cause if you get blasted you just wasted almost 30 minutes… but it has paid off more often than not when the patience, tactics and calculated decisions all come together. Tip: Planting outposts and garrisons behind enemy lines is a good idea if you are on Recon and playing as a spotter. This helps out the team and yourself as a sneaky respawn point. Lastly: When you think it’s safe to stand and sprint…crouch run instead. When you think it’s safe to crouch run…go prone and crawl…when you think it’s safe to crawl…don’t move an inch! This line of thinking keeps you from rushing into the enemies crosshairs even though it seems counter intuitive. Wean yourself off the urge to rush every aspect of the action like most shooters would have you do! But this is my supplemental tutorial and things I’d wish I’d known going in! Hope you’ve enjoyed my TED Talk. Thank you and good night!

The key is to play it more like a stealth game than a typical twitchy FPS. Sneak around and don't be seen, then go for the good kills. Patience wins in HLL.

Brutal learning curve in this game but one of the most rewarding games when you crack it. Found everyone on mic to be so much fun, never take it hyper serious but yet still communicate to aid the gameplay.

I love big war games like these but I spent my first 2 hours just running and dying from enemies I didn't even know existed but the community is actually really chill which was unexpected. All my games there was people willing to answer my questions and give me tips on how to play and when I accidentally killed someone they just confirmed it was an accident and went "oh alright, you're all good"

Running and dying simulator is what my friends referred to it as

Good vid, tho as one who have a good amount of +100h in the game here is some important pointers: - Set your max view of friendly nameplates to max, but do be aware that friendly tanks nameplates spawns in at a waaaay closer distance, always consult your map when spotting a tank. - Please do as your SL (Squad Leader) tells you. You will get to shoot at people, but this is a 100 man co-op game and sometimes you'll need to be on the defensive. - You can redeploy by pressing the ESC key and select it in the menus to the bottom left, it will sometimes be relevant. - Spawing at outpost is almost always better than spawig at a HQ as HQ spawns drains manpower from the General's resources, again you make your commander love you. - When in doubt, frag out. If you have any suspicion that an enemy is hiding in a foxhole, bush, behind a wall, just frag out, it saves a lot of (your own) deaths.

I played this game for 8 hrs when i first got it today. played rifleman, died every 2 mins for an hour and a half. new map comes. i try medic, do pretty well, throw my body into deaths arms just to revive someone, keep playing medic, revive every single person im atleast 80m in distance from, screaming at the top of my lungs "dont hold F im coming!!!" keep getting compliments from squadmates and random teamates "your a real one homie your doing gods work" "yes yes yes thank you" "medic coming in clutch" REDDIT KARMA +10,000. im not good at this game at all but until i figure out wtf im doing im just gonna run around reviving the people that do even if it kills me Edit: to anyone who took the reddit thing as a serious sentence rather than an ironic one, eat shit.

This game really is the greatest "How to perfect your spawn technique" trainer.

Hell let loose is fantastic and your vids are awesome too! Lots of communication required and frankly it's fun where you don't need to focus solely on kills to win. My main criticism though is how it doesn't have the Winfield centennial, speaking of which, hope that videos going good! But in any case I highly recommend hell let loose just to have a refreshing change in war games!

Ah Hell Let Loose, what fun there is to be had. On offense I once got a 95 kill streak as the offense in a medium tank, so the commander gave us a heavy when we were finally taken out. We lost that heavy tank to a ditch shortly afterwards.

Just got this game yesterday, love the challenge, first 30 minutes didn't see a single enemy and was getting killed from left to right, end up killing 2 and die 30 times 😅.. By the 3rd game got a little bit better thanks to my team mates, killed 9 enemies and died 26 times.

I downloaded this game a couple of weeks ago, played it twice at the time and quit cause I was really frustrated. I then watched your videos and applied a much calmer, slow approach to the game and really thought out and planned my movements. Starting to pick out enemy supply drops, locating spawn beacons and such is my jam now

Played my first game yesterday, had a random dude helping me make my first steps. Great guy. Nice community. Danke!

Facts, I just bought this game last night, played till 3Am and i think i killed 4 people in those long timed matches. Im getting used to it the game mechanics of it. And kinda annoying crossing the whole map to get to a house or get to the squad, then POP! dead.. from some distant enemy. BUT somehow i keep playing, so there is some reason i stick with it. Plus, the SOUNDS OF WAR ARE AWSOME in this game. When you think your out of sight and here a "Sssssip" fly past your head, better change position.

Everybody is so helpful and kind, First game on they were telling me how to drop a outpost and saying good job and welcome to the game!

I used to play this game to be a de-stressor from games like Valorant, but now I really enjoy playing this game with a community.

The amount of references to a dysfunctional family leads me to believe that playing this game is the reason my dad left

I've been playing for a little while but this has been very helpful. The monotonous voice you have actually goes well with the sense of humor you applied to this video btw

you my friend, made one of the most serious, funniest and best video tutorials ever. deserves a sub.

playing the free weekend, had one of the most amazing matches where me and a friend were recon. our team had pushed to the 4th capture point while we were slowly working our way at the edges. by the time we got to the point our team got pushed to our 2nd capture point, so we slowly worked our way back to our team, picking off whatever outposts we could until we actually met up the frontline, demolished the enemy on point and made a concerted push. never felt so badass to be able to completely turn around a hopeless situation with just 2 people after a solid 10 minutes of just hopelessly trecking back

I appreciate the video and effort in trying to help newcomers. I been watching several videos on this game and been on the fence on getting it since I don't have buddies that play it. But it's nice to see people are chill with new comers. I love games like this that take thinking and strategy unlike COD. Coming from battlefield and I think this will be a huge treat to own. I'll be getting it tonight. Super excited

been playing a lot of HLL recently as well; looking forward to more HLL content!

7:03 came for info on a new game I just downloaded. Stayed for the tutorial on how to drop jokes and make them fit perfectly within your video. 🤣👌🏼

I have over 1k hours on this game and let me tell you, this video was perfect for new players. I’ve played fps games my whole life since I’m an ‘06 baby, and this really does explain the first 10-20 hours of this game really well. HLL is not for the feint of heart, and you will NOT be able to run and gun like typical FPS games and expect good results. Playing this PTSD sim like if you were actually there not only increases survival (because human survival instincts are a darn special thing) but also increases enjoyment. The ending summer tho up perfectly; you will die. a lot.

The way this video feels like an old school basic training video makes it 1000x more better 😂

You earned my Thumbs Up in the first 20 seconds. 😆

Just gave the game my first try under the impression it was just battlefield, which i never really tried, but heck "it's basically cod right?". Long story short I found out the hard way that you can't just shoot a machine gun and starting a squad is actually some sort of responsibility (people got really mad at me for that one).

I came from Rising Storm Vietnam. Both games are one shot one kill and very dark and gritty at times. Move cover to cover and keep your head down. These are games of patience, not run guns blazing like CoD.

Therapist: how is your anger? Me: I'm fine! "How?" "Hell let loose." "Nice"

with more than 900 hours on this game, I watched it until the last tip. and I felt all those deaths at the end keep it up man, your videos are so cool!

Just started playing with friends. Great game and loved this vid, summed up my first 48hrs!

“And like their “temporary” separation. It’s time to pick a side” best unexpected joke ever

First couple games i just ran around dying alot but caught the hang of it now i get 2-3 kd everygame just playin more stealthy and slowly havin alot of fun

wake up babe , new HomeReel series just dropped

Thanks for the video. Just started playing this and this is such a breath of fresh air. I am done with all this MP games with that put their efforts in just how to sell you the next ridiculous weapon skin or outfit.

Step 1: Get a system that won't overheat and crash five minutes in. Learned that the hard way.

I die in this more than in any other mil-sim. It's like dark souls of mil sims...love it

You are truly special. Thank you for the tips, -a Game Pass newb.

Running in HLL is like running in a bad dream: I'm trying to run fast, but im moving like I'm running through maple syrup.

the ending of this video is the most relatable lol

I Clicked on the first video i found when searching hell let loose tips. Didn't pay attention. I thought. I know this voice. This tone. This uninterested but somehow still very engaging phrasing. I love Homereel. I've probably seen every Hunt showdown video you ever posted.

My first time playing Carentan, I was like "oh I'll just swim across the canal."

Is this another one of those games where people will scream at/insult you for being a beginner?

Good video, I do not play but have been hooked watching my son play. Seeing all consel games, MOH ECT, this is my favorite.

Brilliant a video without over exited shouting idiots. I am new to Hell Let Loose. Thank you for your good advice

the fact so many people hoe pointed out how much you die in this game tells me how realistic it is.

Lol great intro! I’m watching band of brothers rn and I found this game. I can’t wait to play.

Great tutorial - direct, simple, and straight to the point. And some genuine quality humor too. Cheers!

😂 first time seeing one of your vids and I'm hoping more of these will come

Im someone that stopped gaming for 3 years but this game has got me. I’m horrible, die often, don’t get any kills, and even after going to the firing range I couldn’t understand the objective of this game till I seen this vid. Only thing keeping me engaged rn is the role playing aspect 😭

I feel like the last minute of the video was a piercing ray of judgement upon me. That said, I thank you for the video, it’s helpful for a total noob like myself.

You made me laugh so dang hard, man. "Offensive" game mode. That was a good one. Then again when you drowned at the end... Too picture a soldier just hopping in the river like that lol

Your references in your script are quite comical. "like your drunk uncle" "like some twisted carl sagan" lol

Good vid. You should have metioned that new players should set the display distance for friendly markers to high as fk though.

The game has a rather deep learning curve, but the friendly lvl 100+ veterans giving you tips all the time make it go smoothly. The best tips I can give to beginners is to not run across the open fields in enemy controlled territories (there's almost always someone watching since it's 50 vs 50). Learn to read the map(hedges, tree lines etc. to find the safest path) . Do not rush when the enemies might be close (stay still and listen). And the golden rule: communicate with your squad and your team. Even if you own squad is silent, use the proximity voice to share info with the other team players.

I underhand tossed a nade when I meant to overhand it, and the teammate in front of me was not happy about it

I would never feel guilt winning as the good guys *ERIKA INTENSIFIES*

This game has among the chillest and most supportive community in gaming

How to play steps: Step 1: Spawn as Support. Drop Supplies immediately. Redeploy 2: Sapwm as engineer. Build MANPOWER node. Put plans down for munitions node. Redeploy. 3: Spawn as Support. At the 2:30min mark right as the warmup period ends, you'll have another supply box. Drop supplies and build the munitions node. 4: At this point, you can either repeat the process and build your 3rd node after another 2:30min, OR you can redeploy on your squad lead's outpost as they begin attacking the middle point. Pro tip 1: Redeploy at headquaters and then redeploy again everytime you want to cut your supplies/ammo countdown. Pro tip 2: Don't stay as Support class. Use it as a temporary spawn in to drop supplies/ammo wherever you'd need a new garrison/AT gun/repair station, and then redeploy as the class you like. There's never enough repair stations or AT guns built at strong points near the middle of the map. You don't have to stay as AT in order to have an AT gun built, just build one in a strongpoint and move on. Same goes for throwing mines down.

Thank you man. I am comminted to learn this game and some day feel that I contributed to a victory and that I was not carried.

This is what you call edutainment. You got my thumbs up.

By far the funniest guide I’ve watched for HLL

"Just like for a successful rap career, more bars the faster it goes" I felt that.

hahahaha, the ending is awesome. I "rolled" over and died laughing.

“Just like your parents and their temporary separation…it’s time to pick a side.” Lmfao 💀

Dude said he wasn't a quaker and then proceeded to laugh exactly how a quaker would laugh.

The parent separation line has me rolling lol

Bro all the KIA’s at the end of the video with the drums playing was so hell let loose 😂😂

I'm level 300 player and I still had fun watching this

I love the dry delivery of the dad jokes xD Great video!

commentary f'in killed it, thanks man I was completely lost

Shoutout to the USMC music in the background

I came for the beginner's guide. I subscribed for the dry sarcastic humor.

I found you from the hunt videos. Im so glad you cover this beaut of a game

I’ve been playing this game for well over a year and just last week I figured out how to properly play. I’ve basically been spending a year getting shot from enemies I don’t even see.

Being blown up by a tank every 39 secs is too real man. Triggered my PTSD LMAO

Not even 2 minutes in and I’m dying laughing. Great video

I feel no guilt winning as Germany

I just bought this and played a couple matches back to back. SUPER intense moments. My blood is still pimping. Looks fantastic, sounds fantastic and (once I suffer through it) it will play fantastic.

A few buddies and I just got it for Xbox. It’s fun but I spend most my time running or waiting on long respawn timers. Most of the time I just get killed from absolutely nowhere, I’ve tried my hardest to be sneaky and crawl but I still get slaughtered lol. My best game was in a sherman with my friends on battle of the bulge. Still got alot to learn

Awesome video Man, played like 20 mins and decided to watch, and nit only learnt a bit, but laughed as well 😅

Your the first KZfaqr I've heard pronounce garand correctly

People get mad with their frequency of dying, but you have to remember... THIS IS WAR. Be happy you get to respawn.

Dude, your writing is incredible. Truly hilarious stuff.

Rule number one: DONT PLAY IT AS IF IT WAS A CALL OF DUTY.

Game just came to gamepass and I love it

Nice video and funny commentary. I'm about to buy this game, and this cleared a lot of things up! Thanks

You forgot to mention the worst enemy you will face on the battlefield. You god awful internet connection constantly booting you from the match

Yeah dying quickly is so ingrained into the game that there is an achievement for 1st kill called "welcome to Hell" so yay

My neighbour has what looks like 2 wooden barriers in his garden like the one the engineer can make, now I can’t stop seeing his garden in the game

The fun roleplay is one of the main selling points of this game, for me 😂😂 It looks like a LOT of fun. I love Band of Brothers and this, in some ways, makes me think of that. It's also great that you HAVE to work together as a squad or you will affect the outcome of the battle. I really thrive on team work as well as tactics and strategy. I've always been great at games like Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, etc. in which you have to be sneaky and use the environment to your advantage yet also charge when the opportunity presents itself. I want to get this game but I've seen a few videos saying that it has gotten worse since the dev team sold it? Also I'm afraid of not being good enough and my squad getting frustrated with me because I'm not able to help out enough.

This is an incredible cross over

“Bit like your drunk uncle” yeah we all been there 😂

Commander is the key to success in this game. Placing garrison at appropriate places are vital to win. There is a new update recently and the night scene is insane.

the game should make that cling noise even with a normal kill, and not a head shot... its good to know when u get a kill i would think.

Good vid, good sense of humor and I liked the navy anthem in the back ground

I learned so much. Plus hilarious commentary.

bro, what he said at the start is so true.
