“Beginner’s guide..” Mono, you are anything but a Beginner ;)

[@hazed1009]

If only this was shown to every new player as they start their climb up the ranks. Can you imagine how good it would be?? Random matches would be like tournament games!!! Let's hope this new roadmap with tutorial does as good a job as you have here. I'm level 157, level 10 on squad lead, engineer and suppprt, level 8 on rifleman, anti tank and assault level 7 on tank commander, crew and level 6 or 5 on everything else (i dont play sniper tho) and I just learned something new from this video!!!! 😶 I didn't realise the capture in the two game modes changes!!! No-one ever said lol There's me telling players to build around the black circl and NOT inside it but I always assumed the distance had to be the whole 4 squares not more close in one of these modes. Still I'm glad I was correct to keep garrisons outside that circle. I have been guilty of a constant reaction of a squad spawn inside that circle as the position is being overun tho to try to get my whole squad to occupy the circle for double the manpower score. Thus, it has worked to save a capture but now I might reconsider this in warfare mode.🤔 Thanks for this and all the other videos!!

[@soldieramerican5964]

Thank you Monospatial for your ‘How-to’! I watched everyone of your videos on YT before I started playing on Xbox two years ago. I am now a 376 rank, and thank you again for helping me & my friends learn HLL. Outside some questions about your statements, specifically numerical statements i.e. blue garrison locked at 50 meters? I would like to talk, via email to explain some more shortcuts that my friends & I have figured out to help your team win?

Medic is a good class to start with. Got me used to the game and I felt like I was accomplishing a lot, plus people were so happy to have me save them!

Honestly it's so hard making these videos because there are SOOOO many things to mention that the video should be an hour and a half long to cover everything, and that's not even going over commanding or tanking. I guess it's why I have 70 videos out on it already, but yeah, it's hard to select what information to go into a "beginners guide" because it always feels like I'm leaving lots of crucial information out.

[@mabybee]

700 hours is the equivalent of like 21 full matches. I’m exaggerating obviously but it makes me giggle thinking that the equivalent of “I played the f**k out of that game” in most other games is when you start to transition from advanced beginner to competent in HLL lol

[@thymerhemann3230]

In my experience, medics are necessary or at least very helpful. Yes it's true that waiting for a revive takes longer than just respawning. Yes it is also true that waiting for a revive takes a lot less time than respawning then running 1000 meters back because nobody has set up a spawn point which has been my experience in most of the games I've played so far.

[@slothstudio5688]

[@famulanrevengeance3044]

17:04 MG can be essential for attacking- surpressive fire can totally deny enemies from peeking and hitting your teammates, along with providing a safe angle of attack as you will shoot anyone that tries to peek anyways. The difference between having fire superiority and not is winning or losing, and 2 MG's opening up at the same time can flatten a defense for a long time

[@eko4749]

Mgs can go absolutelt crazy. I tried one on my second game and got a good flank in a tree line and smacked 20 people before they eventually air striked me. Came back and got 25 ish more before I died again. Hell of a game.

[@John-mf6ky]

That feeling when you set up in a good spot with an mg is so good.

[@greyfox4577]

I see medics as super helpful especially when the nearby spawn points are destroyed as ive seen where an entire squad is taken down then the medic comes by revies all of them saving critical time if they had to walk back from a far out location. It's more a strategy, if you have only a couple of medics for the entire side then it will make no difference but if each squad has a medic, believe me they will be nearly impossible to overtake.

[@ConfidentMelon]

I think ive only been revived by medics 2 or 3 times total in this game, even if there's one within 30m of me. I usually end up wasting time laying on the floor, like he said

As someone who's newer to this game, but still well versed in FPS.. Go Machine gun class. The heavy effect that suppression offers in this game is insane, and all you need to do is put down a bipod and shoot in that direction.. its not about kills (sometimes) but it gives your squad mates a chance at pushing a position with less issue.

I learned a huge amount from these videos. Thank you. I have 900 hours now and feel pretty confident, thanks to good KZbinrs like you. Things that still confused me though: What munitions are required to destroy what features... I.e. engineer defenses, nodes etc. What are the exact timings for deploying strafing and bombing runs versus air heads (to defend them as they land). Exact enemy radius to highlight (red) and then lock spawn points. What are the optional map by map strategic points for holding with each unit type. I.e. high ground for tanks, vantage points for snipers. Maybe inspiration for advanced play videos???

[@enschultz5951]

Yeah, I started playing this game a couple of days ago and I can confirm a good squad leader defiantly helped me learn the most along with a good squad. They answered questions and taught me many important mechanics along with how to play multiple roles.

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

Gonna go over a few things I think could make HLL even better with balancing changes or small features. Main thing is making comms easier. Good squads make the game way better, unless you're just hopping into a match for a quick second and are too tired to play seriously. That's OK too and its the reality a lot of HLL players are in. Once people learn the game, you can give good comms half asleep. You can build a Garry and set an OP. All Milsims seem to suffer from the same Paradox: the squad leader who volunteers and plays the role well is going to feel like they could do more by playing a different class. So they feel no reward for SLing for a bunch of guys who don't even talk back. It isn't your skill level, it's whether you can follow along with what they're planning. Squad leading is extra work and it requires a lot more effort to also get kills and play normally. But sometimes even in HLL, a light milsim, the squad leader is going to be required to hang back and babysit an outpost or spot enemies because no one else will. The good SLs are people who want the job done right, but it's hard to do that when no one else around wants to participate. The devs need to watch the comms issue closely because I think it's the community that makes the game feel fun vs. not fun in milsims. Win or lose, you want to be able to say gg. That's what makes the genre more forgiving than games where your progress is based on your MMR (like ELO system). In HLL I can lose 3 in a row and not feel any discouragement from logging in the next time and just having another go at it. The game is fun when the community gets into a match on both teams. Comms! So important to preventing this game from becoming like Battlefield. There is an awesome middle ground between the older BF games and Post Scriptum that could have HLL running for years to come. I think the game is in a pretty good spot as a game, it's the community that really needs to somehow get more into making good comms. For a game with so much aid from the UI, you get a really hard to read compass and your map doesnt default center on you when you pull it up while alive. Other milsims won't show the zoomed out overview except in the spawn/class select screen. Being able to pre-select loadouts would be great. Also more focus on Rifleman ammo would be good. Respawning on OPs shouldn't refill all ammo. Airheads either. Those are tempo and fallback spawns. It's really quite imbalanced to have AT being a class you just respawn as when a tank appears. I'd like to see them add zeroing too. Really wish the devs would find a way to make a "mic" / comms squad option. Making the opposite may encourage people to be lazy. I get it. One of the best things about HLL is that you get like three quarters of a milsim experience with a quarter of the effort. It's a simple game mechanically. I can complain a bit about map design and some of the choices about artillery. They should do more with the building aspect, but also maps feel very boxy with too many forced chokepoints that feel odd when youre like "which one of these identical houses is actually occupiable? I need to know where to check for enemies." The main thing is just getting good info out to people and making it really easy for people to get into the game. Which is HLL's main strength. I'm a Post Scriptum test weekend player. I saw the mistakes those devs made. If Post Scriptum launched today it might have a healthy chance at dethroning HLL. But the community is down to a thousand or so regular players meaning you have a couple servers full at any time. I like that HLL is casual but feel like they could seamlessly incorporate a lot of the positives of PS, which is arguably a much more faithful simulation. I think HLL mainly suffers from the lack of comms in the squads though. That makes the game a lot more fun. It's "are we attacking or defending" and you set up OPs. What's tough is that some SLs need to be building garrisons and managing the map. It feels sometimes like no one wants to draw straws, but maybe HLL could improve match quality in the games current state simply by focusing on teaching the community how to play. I am mixed about the armor system and the feeling of a 200m rifle shot not dropping someone in one shot. The 10 second of no-interaction with the map or loadout selector is weirdly more hard-core than games that are slower and have more required knowledge to play well. Maybe the bandage system overcompensates this.

I jumped in with no knowledge just for the hell of it. Got yelled at and a teammate (the commander apparently) killed me yet was still mad. Not even sure if it was on purpose but I was super confused. lol. But I’m not sure if I’m willing to dedicate to this game. But I can see how it’s fun when u understand the game

[@HLL_pepper]

Thank you for making these so I don’t have to. I hope the devs work with content creators when they make the tutorial.

[@Hmpfgrmbl]

Oh my, 29 minutes and every sentence is packed with information. So much to digest! Had my very first game recently on console and couldn't figure out how to chat back lol. I could hear the frustration of my team leader. Sorry mate!

[@R3DLIGHTING]

Great video keep grinding

[@dakotaashwood4600]

Thanks for your content, I came across your video by accident about 6 months ago and you got me turned onto the game, I sold my Xbox 1 and got a series s just so I could play.

[@Peanuttts660]

Great job as always Mono, the only thing I disagree with is the use of the supply truck at the beginning of the game. I believe squad leaders should use their support guy to get blue zone garis as they rush the middle. The truck can then be used by the engineers which saves fuel for the tanks. Just my thoughts. You're a great help and thank you from the 15th panzergrenadiers

[@monoespacial]

With a support truck a Squad Leader and a support can build 3 garrisons at the start. It's also a best/worst case scenario situation. Best case scenario of Engineer taking truck is you get nodes + 1 garrison. Extra lucky if you get 2. Worst case is you get no garrison at all, which is FAR worse than the benefit of having nodes early is. The best way of avoiding this is for the engineer not to take the truck. So it's a "might get a slight benefit vs a massive blow to the team" or a "guaranteed good situation" with the SL taking the truck.

[@Peanuttts660]

@@monoespacial I understand completely, My scenario is mainly with an organized team that will build garis at the start and swtich out support guys to get the job done. We aim to have our nodes started and 3 blue zone garis before reaching the neutral zone. I've learned almost everything I know from your videos, I'm so thankful for them. You've really changed the mindset of so many players in here and everyone who loves this game should thank you for it. Keep up the great work sir!

[@rcl8464]

​@@Peanuttts660 A well organized team will just cycle support during the warmup and build all of the nodes in HQ before the wall drops. I'm with mono on this one. Garrisons matter at the beginning of the match infinitely more than nodes do at the beginning.

The community is one of the best parts of this game. I don’t necessarily mind playing games with children but it is nice to play a more complex game with mainly just adults playing. I’ve never had anyone be a pretentious asshole to me for asking questions and how to do stuff.

[@mattclements1348]

Amazing video man, that helped me understand the game the best, still cant get my voice chat to work, xbox.

[@royaaaL]

great video man! thanks!

[@monoespacial]

Glad you liked it!

[@allstar930]

Quick suggestion to any newbie. When you're ready to try squad lead, start a recon squad for a few games because snipers usually don't care if you work with them or not and you'll have access to everything that a normal squad leader has without the pressure of a bunch of squadmates on your a$$ because you aren't giving them orders.

[@kathleenparr7799]

I’ve been waiting until everyone I settled and then create my squad and I never have anyone join in while I’m learning the game

[@xl-dxnthateme-lx3596]

I started with the machine gunner and I love it honestly plus the assault one is my favorites

[@noxuification]

thank you so much for this video i am new to the game and i love it how difficult it is ❤ so its better to run around the map looking for enemies garnison to destroy than idk defending/attacking objective ?

[@vaipvanaonvaiponvana]

Loved Wolf ET - this looks like Wolf ET 2. Wonderful!

[@fmg182]

Graaande Monooo as always

[@schafer7403]

This was really useful. I played officer for the first time yesterday and pulled the pocket watch out and thought wtf is this for ? Telling the time whilst I’m being mauled by the enemy ? Now I know it’s one of the most useful pieces of equipment in the game 😂

[@tritanrolls1999]

Youre a legend mate subscribed within seconds

[@ozmosyd]

Exactly what I needed. Thanks chap. sub'd

[@Pozzy]

Its a good watch even if you already know how the game works, its very important for new players to understand the game

[@Mrheatpump]

It really sound like it plays a lot like squad 2. This video is extremely informative and helpful. Thank you sir

[@Gaming_Vegan_Ape]

Gamepass brought me here. Great explanations. Thank goodness for 1.75x speed. Lol

[@GingaKush]

I started today and im absolutely shocking 😂 hopefully this video will help me out

[@GSDhandler1]

Lv0-15 clueless Lv15-watched a ton of videos Lv16-25 played rifleman/autoRm. Learned how to play in squad Lv 25-40 played squad leader Lv40 - 60 played commander Currently lv67 on a 12 game win streak with commander. Keep playing this game is insane fun

[@FishHookEXE]

Yo, thank you for putting this together! Tried the game on Game Pass and ABSOLUTELY did not get what I was supposed to be doing, watching this gave me a much better understanding! I'll give the game a second go now and see how I feel

[@BennyChurch4]

I spent a long time watching your vids before I played my first match and it was well worth it!

[@monoespacial]

That's awesome!

[@hazed1009]

​@monoespacial yeah he bought the game then refused to play as a conscientious objector!! 😂 (he was so traumatised by your videos of war he couldn't face it!!) Your videos were so effective people refuse to fight anymore!! 🤣😝🤪

[@BennyChurch4]

@@hazed1009 was interested before the game came to console and learned about it. Loved it when it released on PS5 and recently built a PC due to the wide range of games available I didn’t know about previously.

[@hazed1009]

@benchurchill2208 well you have fun with that pc , the ranges of games and the sheer number can be overwhelming but you'll love it. I only wished the games on pc were all brought to console , I don't like this idea no-one on console will learn to play like pc players , I think it's a smaller group than we think that play a certain console way. Given the types of games we see on there things will never change. HLL has shown there's plenty of console players who want the milsim approach I had a pc for years and only went to console for convenience . Glad you're enjoying a new system tho. You will love it I'm sure

[@monoespacial]

​@@hazed1009 The thing is, while there is an audience for "all games" on console, console players tend to favor some types of games over others. That's just the way it is. Nobody is leaving money on the table by not porting games like Europa Universalis to console. It's the same with every other market on the planet. The guys spending $3.000 on a bike and the people spending $500 tend to use bikes for different things. Or the people buying a work truck vs a mini cooper. They are different platforms that focus on achieving different things.

[@The-TEE]

2,300 hrs played and I learned something new. Thanks Mono

[@Georgia._]

Thanks for the help :)

[@Thunder_Child]

Thanks for making this. I will say though.....@ 3:02 there are plenty of games that also work like this in regards to spawns and objectives, such as SQUAD, Red Orchestra, Project Reality, Post Scriptum and others.

[@Refl3x5637]

I just got hll so this helps a lot, thanks!

[@monoespacial]

Glad to hear it!
