Hi, I believe that it is already integrated in the spinoff version in Hell Let Loose Vietnam, and I think that I heard something about playtests going on on PC for the general game. The thing is that AI can give me real answers, so I wanted to ask if you guys know something I don’t.Because I would like a more tactical mode.
Whenever new players ask about ‘how to stop getting shot by people I can’t see’ I tell them that the audio cues are the single most important skill to learn.
Learn to recognise the weapon sounds so you can tell who’s shooting, and wear headphones for the directional audio. That way you stand a chance when you outnumber someone hiding in plain sight.
The only guy to be using audio awareness in this clip was unlucky to lose his 1vs1 - I think everyone else was playing without headphones
I posted this on the main hell let loose discord and am reposting in an effort to hopefully gain some attention from the community/devs. I really believe this alont would dramatically improve all aspects of gameplay especially with a small handfull of people in a game using this feature.
I have an idea that I think could significantly improve teamwork, coordination, and tactical gameplay in Hell Let Loose:
Give the Commander the ability to place squad-specific orders directly on the map, such as Build Garrison, Assault, Defend, Move, etc. These orders would appear prominently on the HUD for everyone in the assigned squad, perhaps in gold or another distinct color so they’re immediately recognizable as Commander orders.
There could also be an XP incentive for following orders. For example, players could earn XP for remaining within a certain distance of the objective, contributing to its completion, or otherwise participating in the assigned task.
Squad Leaders could have a similar system, but with more role-specific orders/pings. This could allow SLs to direct things like AT, Support, Engineers, MGs, etc., toward specific locations and provide smaller XP incentives for completing those tasks.
The reason I think this could be so impactful is that many players don’t use microphones or don’t consistently follow Squad Leader/Commander communication. This makes it extremely difficult for the players who are communicating to actually execute a coordinated strategy.
Clear, highly visible orders combined with small incentives could give Commanders and SLs a much stronger ability to organize their teams without requiring every player to use voice chat.
It could create a system where players are naturally encouraged to contribute to the team’s overall strategy while still leaving them freedom to play. It would also make the Commander and SL roles feel more meaningful and could improve everything from garrison construction and defensive positioning to coordinated assaults and weapon placement.
I genuinely think something like this could take HLL’s teamwork and tactical gameplay to another level while fitting naturally within the game’s existing design.
So I've seen that new game, He'll let loose: Vietnam & I'm seriously thinking about pulling the trigger & getting it for the ps5. A few of my old army buddies are PC gamers & I've heard that the game is cross platform compatible. We're all old cold war/ Desert shield infantry vets, so this is kind of right up our alley.
Have any of you played it? How's the gameplay? Does it support actual voice chat with a mic & headset? Is it worth the money?
Let me know what y'all think of it.
Edit: y'all have convinced me to pull the trigger & get the game for my ps5. sooo....I'll see Y'all out in the boonies soon.
I decided to play recon for this game and boy it turned out to be maybe my best game across 450 hours of playing both games. I managed to destroy 4 sets of nodes and a couple garries.
I play on PS5 and am trying to use voice chat in the game, but unfortunately, something is blocking it and I don't know what. I've already enabled everything on the PS5 and checked every setting both inside and outside the game. I've even set the mic to "always open," but nothing changes. What should I do?
