Hell Let Loose - New Player? Here's how to "get" HLL

[@monoespacial]

Upvote if you made it to the end of the video and caught me messing up the end.

[@THIS---GUY]

Extremely informational. Easy to lose sight of these tactics in the fog of war. A lot of players fall back into "battlefield conquest" mentality after a few deaths.. especially when frustrated and abandon tactics for revenge kills

[@criticalhistory2023]

yeah its like the more you run, the more you die...specially if you are alone ... pacience pays a lot in this game

[@JohnstyPonst]

Patience is key! But a bit more specifically: Knowing when to be patient vs. when to be super aggro. Collect info, set up flanks, then hit hard.

[@konmoe121]

@@JohnstyPonst Word, sometimes it's impressive how you can overrun an defending enemy in the despair of just a few minutes left. Smoke smoke smoke and everybody pushing.

[@Krolmark]

It can be super difficult to “unlearn” the way other shooters are played. This feels like you are playing Company of Heroes, but you no longer have control of alle the units so you have to work together with up to 49 other people. A lot of fun but as a new player it is very daunting with all the information you need to remember. Still, super fun!

[@killswitchh]

I wish the devs would put this on the main screen for new players to watch.

[@luuketaylor]

Reminds me of Uncharted TV which was in UC3 and UC4. It would be a small, autoplaying (muted) video that you could expand on the home screen of the game, with community clips, top ten play clips, developer videos, etc. that you could watch between games.

[@OG-Capo---]

They don't, and this is what keeps us playing the game.

[@mashattack551]

Glad there are people who know the game and care enough to make videos to help other players. I'm sure this helps newer players understand the game and after playing for a while it all makes way more sense.

[@mattkaczorowski3099]

I've been watching your videos a lot. I finally tried SL for the first time and it was awesome. Our squad did the things you suggested, backup garrys, build nodes, play defensively, flank. We didn't capture all points, but we did win. The enemy team was incredible at multi-pronged flanks. The tactics you explained were key for keeping our team from collapsing.

[@JohnstyPonst]

It’s amazing how the best counter to a flank is to flank :D

[@JohnstyPonst]

Oh and Garry…

[@s3any1977]

I bought it on PC yesterday. I'm a big team player. But the few hours I have played, the teams I have joined don't speak. I introduced myself, said I was new. I found friends communicate with eachother but ignore other people like me. So, I followed the team. Learnt what I can. Lay in a muddy ditch for 10 minutes, got blown up, got shot, seen about 3 enemies, fired about 5 shots, hit nobody, pinged a Tiger. I have had a miserable time, but love it! It is totally my type of game. I feel like I'm in an episode of Band of Brothers. I just wish a team I join would help me out.

[@samsonstrengthtraining3278]

Add me on PSN IAMAIRMANDANIELS I'll play with you

[@s3any1977]

@1DCCX Thanks for the offer. Very kind. However I've got better chance of getting a kill in HLL than getting hold of one if the new consoles 🤣 They are like gold dust. But it's not all doom and gloom. The most recent game I had a veteran joined the team and became SL. He was really good at commanding and getting the team to talk. It was a 2 hour game on Kursk and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've had in recent years 😊 The more confident I get the better the game gets

[@LtColSoundboard]

This is spot on. Spawn Control and positioning is the current core of Hell Let Loose. How many garrisons your team has, and where they are placed, will determine your team's success in most HLL matches. Nice work Mono

[@Trentcast]

My favorite part about playing SL - when you’ve got your sights set on a location to place a garrison, your support is even with you and communicating, you let command know, you get to your move/garrison mark - and literally seconds before that some blueberry SL drops a horrible gari that gets locked out while you’re trying to figure out where the new one is that’s preventing you from dropping yours lol

[@philtoynton7981]

[@luuketaylor]

First time I'm early to a Mono video! I've been playing since last week (PS5) and found your content *far* more helpful than the Field Manual. I've watched probably 15 of your guides at this point, and I cannot thank you enough. Now I have to go be the change I want to see on the battlefield and step up to become a unit officer since I keep having games with a severe lack of spawns. Thanks again, Mono.

[@monoespacial]

Well, 25 more videos left! 😆 I've done a video called "Hey newbie, play SL" or something like that. I think people shy away from the SL role because they want to be cool sounding stuff like "Assault" or "Anti-tank" or "Automatic Rifleman". That shit sounds way cooler than "Officer". In reality, the officer actually has the best kit in the entire game. No one else gets a "hey let's do a quicksave here because I don't know what I'm gonna find" in the shape of the Outpost.

[@luuketaylor]

@@monoespacial lol, too true. Just finished my first match as an Officer and had a great time flanking and setting up spawns for the team. We had a blast, and when I mentioned it was thanks to you, two of my unit said you're the man!

[@Krambo87]

@@monoespacial My only gripe with the officer role is the lack of audio controls for the leadership chat. Its to the point where I can't even hear my own team because the audio is too loud on the leadership chat. I wish there was a toggle to turn the volume down for that channel.

[@scyhte82]

​@@monoespacial for me and my mates it's rather the pressure of being responsible for your team and their spawns plus having to communicate with all the other squads while talking to your own guys that seems a bit overwhelming at first. it's not necessarily the "cool" factor of other classes but simply the fact that nobody wants to play sl.

[@bishopspitfire4399]

I've never thought about to think where they could push from. Nice video! I will check this out in the future. When I play as a commander I always try to basically encircle the strongpoint to prevent the enemies from pouring in from the sides so they will basically only have their strongpoint garrison which I will take out with my tanks. When the opposite team doesn't have any garrisons and nowhere to pour in the capture sector from then you've won. ENCIRCLEMENTS WORKS TOO. But now you may wonder: "What if my team don't listen to me?". A good commander can command a team no matter how stupid they are. But every strategy tip video you make still gives me more ideas and make me a little bit smarter in this game.

[@olliehughes6774]

Very useful, thanks. Might be fun/beneficial/entertaining to see a Madden style pop-out narration of the play-by-play using the map alongside capped gameplay footage.

[@Sean-411]

I have to say, i was ready to quit this game before finding this channel! Thank you for the great content, explaining how the game works and how to win!

[@monoespacial]

Glad you're choosing to stay! Hope you have some great games.

[@jrm8206]

After playing a few hundred hours as a Commander in HLL: Always try to do the main attack from the side you defend. This way the attack is always supporting the defense. If not you will lose very fast most of the time... But put Airhead on side with no Enemy. This way you sqeeuze the defenders. So like in 4:14 you put airhead in F7 and put garry in D4/5

[@Jules_391]

Jo whats up :) I (800 Hours Hll) often have the problem that I use an airhead to flank, for example, but then all attacking squads attack. Tip for everyone let a squad continue to attack frontally so that a two-front war can be established. This increases the pressure on the cap sector Good video keep it up Mono

[@monoespacial]

It's very common to see for example 2 garrisons for attack. Then one gets destroyed and instead of some SL walking 200m to re-establish it, they just keep attacking from one point instead of 2. It makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

[@bishopspitfire4399]

I always try to encircle the enemy by building like 4 garrisons and attacking from as many directions as I possibly could. This will stop the enemies from pouring in and will get them stuck in the strongpoint and I will just finish them with arty and tanks. It has always worked for me.

[@JJ-md5xv]

Really hoping this game gets the recognition it deserves!! When I’m in a full squad with mics, the gameplay is simply amazing.

This is the video I needed. I just started playing HLL and understanding the map and flow is pretty difficult. And while the community is fantastic you don't always get a lot of help from squads. Game can be brutal and frustrating at times but love the tactical nature of it!

[@DaveD_223]

Thank you! As a someone who just started playing recently, I find this to be extremely helpful.

[@scottwatrous]

Good stuff. I think an interesting topic to cover if you're trying to make something for new players, and one that is generally missed from your content I think, is really how to navigate that newbie, pubbie, "I kinda get the game but I'm not joining a clan yet and none of my friends play" experience. Like maybe do a video walkthrough or two assuming you have no friends playing the game, you don't have any preferred servers; just hopping into the game cold. Stuff like "how to find a good server, how to understand the numbers and queue system, server names, etc." And then when you're in a game those basic topics like "how to find the right squad to join. What if there are no free squads? Should I make a new squad even if I'm not very good at squad leader? Should I just join an Armor squad with no experience? Should I just join that lone sniper on a Recon Squad? Should I just leave? etc." Then once into a squad and maybe picked a class to try "is this squad talking or are they lames? When should I leave a dysfunctional squad? When should I stick around? Is there something I can be doing to help the team, even if no-one on the squad is doing well to help?" And then more advanced stuff like "Some blue SL asked me for supplies and my SL is AWOL in some bushes across the map with no OP, do I follow them to drop supplies?" Then there's the classic "the last match ended, we are in a new match, and now there's 30 people in the server. Do I stick around and help seed or jump ship?" Plus you could have entire videos talking about communication methods, how to name things, what people mean when they say OP vs Gerry vs whatever, proper ways to ping vs not to ping (like if SL is asking someone to ping that Tiger they're yelling about, don't at the same time start pinging some lone soldier running across a field 400m away.) There's so many of these little things that we kindof have to learn by doing, but still having videos about all these topics would be good reference points, and maybe some videos that take it back to that fresh boot perspective, that aren't about master level strategy but more 'how to work with the game UI and the player culture to feel like an expert in no-time" As for this video I like the concepts and the little app. It helps make a lot of ideas more concrete. A lot of it is intuitive if you think about it, but having someone point it out so you have something to fall back on in the middle of the game "oh yeah ENVELOP" is sure handy.

[@monoespacial]

Those are really good suggestions. I think some of the more basic stuff like "finding a server" is just "how to play a pc game" at some point, but it's true a lot of people don't know how to identify a "bad" team or SL or squad, and getting a good SL is probably the best way to start understanding the game.

[@scottwatrous]

@@monoespacial true but there's some different stuff between this game with the VIP/Queue and well, the really crappy server filtering, that makes finding a decent server a little oddball compared to some other games. Of course we all figure it out, I've found what works for me, but maybe there is some seceret sauce. Like I generally scroll until I find a low-ping English server that has an empty queue and one with at least 80 players. But sometimes I find that one of the always "full" servers is actually better to click on and wait in the queue for, because that server is more likely to have good players with more robust command, and if I start up early enough before I plan to play, and wait in line its likely I can get in when the current game ends because of how long the matches are and how the rewards system encourages players to stick it out to the last futile minutes so it'll stay full before game over then chances are 10+ will leave. On the other hand sometimes its A-OK to join a 50-60 person server as it quickly start to fill and is only low due to match being fresh after a lot left. But for those coming from Battlefield or COD or games with shorter rounds or different matchmaking/lobby browsing its a little different strategy here.

[@jasonmorgan9239]

My buddy and I played a very tactical game using these kinds of tactics and we took out three enemy garrisons are were able to surprise the enemy from the rear flank and kill quite a few. Patience is very key.

[@ryanclough5126]

New players getting shot over and over and over? There's something I always try to keep in mind and it's not foolproof, smart players will catch you still but it helps a lot. Three S's. Speed, Sound and Silhouette. Movement draws the eye, so if you're sprinting through Hurtgen, you're going to get seen first. I slow to a jog once i'm in red zone or active combat areas and to ADS when I know i'm close to the enemy. Sound, footsteps are REALLY loud in this game, next time you're playing just stop and.. listen. You can tell a Garand from a Kar, a 42 from a 30cal, you can hear someone running passed the hedge next to you. Sillhouette, if you're on a flat field, and you stand at a fence line, and there's a guy at the other side looking along that fence and it goes "Fence post, fence post, fence po-.. Helmet?" I bet you he's not going to think "Huh, didn't know France had American shaped fence posts." Think about lines of sight, and what's behind you, instead of running across the open field, move across it's edge and put the hedge against your back, it makes you a lot harder to see. And on the point of lines of attack, sometimes you HAVE to be the guys that suck it up and die over and over to win a fight. There's two elements in the basic infantry assault, fixing and flanking. If you all go "This street is getting us killed!" and leave, the enemy no longer has to look down that street, so when you run up another one, they'll just swing their guns around and shoot you again. So if you see a couple squads making a shuffle for a new approach, and yours is the only one still in the death-street, just linger around it's edge, fire off some shots, throw some smokes, keep the enemy looking your way so they don't notice Hanz running up behind him to bean him with a shovel. :D Hope someone finds these helpful! Great video, Mono.

I think it would be interesting if HLL allowed Squad Leaders to use markup pens to draw movement points and in general just sketch on the map that was only visible to squad members. This would allow individual members to real time check the current plan and would assist those with no coms.

[@monoespacial]

The only assistance the people with no comms need is how to get their comms up, I think. There's no reason why not to use the mic, unless there's a disability involved.

[@Roman-zq8wp]

@@monoespacial I agree with you on the ocms part. But as someone with only 10 hours played of HLL played so far, I find myself overthinking and still confused about objectives on the map and what the "current plan" is. Maybe once I get better my idea won't be as needed.

[@monoespacial]

@@Roman-zq8wp Talk. Ask "hey what should we be doing right now?". But it's very simple. Are there at least 4 garrisons around the point nearest to the Frontline and at least 2 in the one before that? If not, you should be working on that. After that, do you have garrisons to attack the enemy point? Build them if you don't. Building these garrisons will mean fighting over the areas necessary for them.

[@allonifrah3465]

It's not like people don't understand that they should run towards the front through the deserted, safe areas of the map; They do. It's just that it takes so damn long to get there on foot, that people get impatient arching all the way around to approach the front from a covered position and instead just start running to the action in a straight line, across open fields. What HLL really needs is much more troop transport vehicles. An abundance of them. So walking from HQ to the front will no longer be necessary, ever. There should always be a troop transport truck at HQ. Always. And Jeeps. Add Jeeps (Less passenger capacity, but greater speed)

[@monoespacial]

It doesn't take long if you just build a Garrison every 200-250m. You should never run more than the distance between 2 garrisons if you're playing correctly.

[@toy924x4]

Great info! I just wished more people talked or at least the commander of the squads

[@duolith2735]

Great overview of how to advance and gain map control! I feel your frustration, but I think most players in pub matches just want to run and gun (Yet they also turn defeatist in chat and rage quit when the team is loosing ...) Could you say something about how to defend? especially in offensive mode; most players seem to think defending means sitting on point and waiting. But then as you point out the enemy is just going to envelope the point with OPs and Garrys, and then Arty and Bomb Run the point to clean you up. Also, I really wish SLs and Commander could draw on the map in-game the way you do in your videos, it is very helpful!

[@alexandersnider734]

I think you missed a good opportunity when discussing the flow of the game, to emphasize that the cap circle is not really the primary objective, but more a consequence of accomplishing your primary objective, which is destroying enemy garrisons in the sector while establishing your own. As you have said before, if you don't destroy the enemy garrison, it doesn't matter how many you kill, as they will just keep coming and contesting your capping. The easiest way to cap is to destroy garrisons, and reinforce faster than they can. Its a numbers game.

[@monoespacial]

I've mentioned that several times in other videos. At some point, it seems like if I go over every single important concept, the video would be 1hr long.

[@alexandersnider734]

To illustrate, you draw the angles of attack always leading directly to the strong point. But I think that's incorrect, or at the very least misleading. One angle of attack there is important, but the majority of the other angles should be attempting to sweep the sector and clear the OP's/Garrisons of the opposition. Once that is achieved, the strong point becomes a trivial matter. My point is, map control over the entire sector needs to be what players realize, and we should stop perpetuating this idea that the strong point and running at it over and over are your goal. The strong point is the *result* of sector control, its the end and not the means. By drawing all the angles of attack into a sector in a dispersed way that shows the team attacking garrisons and not strong points, it becomes clear there is a front line across the sector from North to South, and this is what we see in game. Dispersed gun fights vying for sector control, not strong point control. Indeed, the defined space between garrisons place defines the necessity for this front line to exist, and the requirement of total sector control versus on limited, concentrated sector control.

[@monoespacial]

Just the tip 4 fun Lmk if you see it. EDIT: Also i found today that sometimes as an SL the most important thing you can do is ensure a garrison remains secure. especially an attacking one. I made a key red zone garry earlier and had to fight for 5-10minutes to make sure we could get a couple of spawn waves on it. Once we did we overwhelmed the enemy almost instantly.

New to the game with 15 hours play time. I finally for the first time last night finished a game with more kills than deaths, so the >mechanics< of game play are finally settling in for me. I've been playing FPS's since Wolfenstein 3D, the most recent and longest lasting obsession being Battlefield 4, so some noob observations from a long-time gamer for other HLL noobs: *Patience is key, there is no run 'n 'gun. Sometimes you will spend 5 minutes getting from Point A to Point B.🏃🏻‍♂ *There are no "tickets" to run out to determine the winner, so killing enemies in some meaningless portion of the map may not be helping at all. BUT, when you first start you may want to spend some time in those meaningless areas looking for noobs that are noobier than you just to get some target practice in 🤣🤣 *Teamwork wins this game. Your personal K/D may be satisfying (hopefully, eventually) but is useless if it's not helping the team to win. *HLL scoreboard is quite different from BF or COD. It reflects what you're doing to help the team win, rather than personal accomplishments, but there is a link at the bottom of the scoreboard that lets you see a scoreboard with your personal stats. I find this very useful as a noob to understand if I'm doing the basics correctly, i.e., am I actually shooting enemies? It's not always obvious. * And finally, to get out of a truck, you press the same key you pressed to get in - "F". Yes, I died in a truck when I didn't know how to get out.😜😭

IMO for any Squad Leader, if you are new and can't figure out ideal leadership thats OK. Really your only core responsibility is to have a solid OP up at all times and make sure your squad is bringing a Garrison to the potluck. If every SL just made sure they always had one Garry and one OP up, they'd bring more victory than defeats. Instead, most take the role as being some pathfinder badass, squad leader taking point and making the charge. Really they should be sending the troops up and following up with the support and medic. Honestly I feel SL should start with only pistol and maybe an M1 carbine for US; and save the SMGs for later unlocks. It'd keep the early SL role feeling more like the command and support role they are and not the one-man army mentality a lot have.

After watching this, I feel so stupid for how I’ve been playing so far. I only got the game a couple days ago, but still, seems so obvious when someone points it out

[@ARIXANDRE]

Great content. The problem with the inflow of players on PS5 proper communications is too much is a big ask. It's a shame and that's why the game isn't clicking with me.

[@monoespacial]

Give it a few months before the people that got the game for free (but aren't the audience for it) stop playing. Then the only ones left should be the ones that actually care about it enough to talk.

[@HarryDetective]

@@monoespacial this. It’s already happening. Players have been communicating way more on ps5.

[@kevinmanchester944]

Can you please do a video of how to play as a team. I am constantly switching roles because what ever I do play the other roles don’t seem to know what they should be doing. Example, the amount of squad I join and there is MULTIPLE rifle man or assault just looking for kills and not support their officer with garrison placement. Teammates not with their officer and just running off, a squad would have an AT guy and support doesn’t think to bring explosive ammo box to help AT, machine gunner laying suppressing fire and others don’t realise and don’t push up, teammates scared of pushing and walking BEHIND the medic and not letting the medic play backline as they want someone else to push up first, support to far from officer and can’t place supplies, not moving as a squad, tanks driving to fast and letting other infantry support them or allowing infantry to use the tank as cover to push up. The list goes on and on. It is a lot of solo plays and then complaining why they run and die. Keep focusing on what people are doing wrong please. Your vids have help out ALOT.

i just found out how to steady aim, i swear it used to be shift instead of caps. would've been real helpful yesterday when i sat in a rooftop farming kills with a g43 probs could've gotten to the 25ks mark instead of just 23 :(

[@TheBanana93]

Pretty sure its shift by default

[@HomelessOnline]

Thanks, I can't imagine how long it would have taken me to figure this out on my own. I'm kinda dumb, but I can at least now read a map. What's an "OP," and what is it used for?

[@BennyboyA2b]

Hey monoe how are you? I bougt the game about a year ago and had the same as you. I just couldn't find players and certainly no players who communicate but i really want to learn this game you see. I'm from Belgium so my english isn't perfect i learned from tv haha. Anyway i saw a video where you explained how to find a communicating squads, but I can’t seem to find that video anymore. Could you please help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Grts&thx...

[@spacerace885]

I’ve played HLL since it’s beta days. I’m just ehhh okay, the problem is finding a server with players that communicate with each other. I would like a link to these maps though?

[@spacerace885]

But the game is GREAT I love it just work too much to play lol

[@jamesbennett5189]

Whatever speed/pace you play COD and BF at.....take 90% off.

[@jakecontempree688]

Can you explain how the capping of everything works?

[@monoespacial]

I've done several videos on the topic. I think the best explanation might be here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHO9oX-EfMqMopI. However, if you don't know how capping sectors works, it means you haven't seen my beginners guide video and I HIGHLY recommend you do as that offers the most amount of info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpK8Y2qvnrSDhqM There's probably a bunch more stuff that you might not know that's covered in the video.

[@jakecontempree688]

@@monoespacial thanks, you and your videos are awesome man!

[@monoespacial]

@@jakecontempree688 thanks dude!

[@zoid88]

How to win games, go around. Still amazes me the number of people who run headlong in to the point. Though it seems the playerbase is slowly learning on PC at least.
