Of course, there will be those panicked moments of opening fire at the slightest enemy movement, but if you play methodically you stand a higher chance of survival. Handling is realistic with repercussions in accuracy and recoil if trying to go in guns blazing. The gunplay itself is engaging and chaotic whether using weaponry from the US or German forces. This is all for the sake of immersion but what is persistent is your compass which guides you towards your objective. Teammates are highlighted throughout and when aimed at, but all this does fade. Your in-game HUD shows squadmates, location, current stage of combat as well as ammo. Here you can choose a spawn location, whether it be the base of operations or any rally points placed by squad mates. A deployment map shows before dropping in, allowing you to see the scale of the map and each sector of the battlefield. As said, Hell Let Loose isn’t your run of the mill shooter, the stakes are high as you charge in capture and hold, defend and strike back. With 50 other teammates, you will feel like a cog in the great machine of war, but all of these do cumulate to create one hell of an immersive experience. As for Recon, this is a two-man team with a spotter for target call outs and a sniper to take the shot, these two also must work in tandem to succeed, although nothing is stopping you from being a lone wolf. Just watch out for any Anti-Tank infantry. With the size of maps, you can take full advantage of the tank to provide support to infantry or engage in tank warfare. You’re most effective as a three-man tank crew, but you if wish, you can take control solo. If the path of Armour is selected you can take the role of Driver, Gunner or Tank Commander and provide armoured support either in a Sherman or Panzer tank. This does boil down to how good of a commander the team has and a well-versed player will soon start barking orders as they take on the role. These roles task you to work in tandem and provide direction to battle, provide air support as well as place rally points near objectives for spawn. For a heavier handed role Commander and Officer can also be chosen. If Infantry is chosen you can select from a number of roles, including Rifleman, Assault, Support and Medic, each with their own loadouts for battle. Units consist of six players split into three groups: Infantry, Armour and Recon. After picking a side you need to join a squad and from there a class. Ingame proximity and squad chat are emphasised and if successful you’ll be able to change the tide of war and immerse yourself in brutal combat.īefore storming across the fields of war, however, the game begins with ample choice of deployment. As the front-line goes forward you will need to work and communicate with your teammates. Hell Let Loose isn’t a game about Kill/Death ratios, it is about strategy. Hell Let Loose instead focuses on a tug of war style of warfare, which sees the two sides combating for territory control, similar to the push mode in Insurgency and Day of Infamy, except on a much grander scale. While it would be simple and entertaining to have 50 versus 50 thrown at each other till the last team standing. Large as the battlefields may be, Hell Let Loose wouldn’t be hammering the realism without some attention to how these battles play out. It all starts with a chosen side: Hell Let Loose focuses on the battles between the United States and the German forces, across large scale maps based on real battle locations including Foy, Hurtgen Forest and St Marie Du Mont. Both titles offered large-scale warfare and tactical planning and this is no different. Hell Let Loose can be compared to the modern offering of SQUAD or another World War II shooter: Post Scriptum. Still, there’s plenty to delve into with Hell Let Loose and most of which is realising that the key to success isn’t all guns blazing, but rather team play. Especially if you’re not a fan of a realistic foray into the theatre of war, as opposed to the arcadey nature of Call of Duty: WWII and Battlefield V. Now, as extravagant as that may seem, it’s certainly not going to be for everyone. Developed by Black Matter and published by Team17 Digital, Hell Let Loose is a tactical first-person shooter that boasts a competitive tug of war battlefield with 50 versus 50 player matches.
