[@MikeGolf993]

This game has something unique that HLL will never have. I don't care about the player base of each games. One is clearly more arcadey, the other one is more a niche game. But it has something special to it that you can't find in any other game out there. Call it dev's love and passion, call it great sound design, call it great gun handling, call it immersion (the first times i've played Squad 44/post scriptum, i was so tense and i feared for my life a couple of times). I don't know, this game is just one of those special ones.

[@REMEDY_HIT]

Alpine LMAO!! So happy you've come to the true WW2 experience Post Scriptum (now Squad44). I was with HLL since the beta days but in the time during Team17 I just couldn't take the incompetency and direction it was going. Welcome to the Light my brother :)

After playing HLL for 362 hours and playing Squad 44 for only 35 hours so far, I can say SQ44 is the better game. Way more immersive and gritty experience. Communication too is required unlike HLL.

Well then you experienced the old amazing HLL, and thats not easy to beat. by far old HLL was one of the best gaming experiences. That being said, the game is taking hard turns from a community base, not the game play itself. Im pretty sick of HLL now. All these dam COD players just 'playing' to have a new game on hand. All servers need a LEV 100 Min for commander, and 70 for SL. But im deep into Manor Lords now, havent touched HLL in 2 weeks. Might look into this.

This definitely shows potential. The graphics look so much more immersive post-update.

Still not tired of this game.... even when the playerbase was at it lowest I still enjoyed playing it.

[@chost-059]

ive got 560 hours on HLL but im switching to SQUAD44 recently, with just 26 hours is SQ44 i can say its a far better ww2 game for several reasons people actually talk and use teamwork, 80% of HLL squads are near totally silent and teamwork is scarce. experienced players helped me get the basics quick SQ44 doesnt funnel players into a meat grinder like HLL does, HLL maps are just one long funnel that doesnt allow tactical movement The gameplay actually feels like an immersive representation of how ww2 was fought, the maps feel far more realistic than the single lane maps of HLL. in HLL its just running back and forth between circles, theres no weight to it and it feels arcadey. in SQ44 the maps allow for a lot more tactical movement and flanking map terrain in SQ44 is a lot more realistic and immersive, and leads to better gameplay. tank gameplay is light years ahead HLL, the tanks have actual damage and armour/penetration models and are historically accurate with mobility etc and feel more immersive. HLL tanks feel like your playing battlefield but first person and having the controlls seperated to 2 players, SQ44 feels like warthunder with controlls seperated to several players. HLL tank gameplay is incredibly boring because its rock paper scissors heavy tank meta. SQ44 tanks can take various forms of damage, hitting critical components even with the weakest AT weapons can slowly limit their effectiviness. usually tanks get immobilised slowly lose their crew which feels a lot more realistic, rather than just exploding after two rockets to the rear vehicle variety makes SQ44 feel more immersive and much more exiting, the system of having limited spawns per vehichle leads to a great economy that reflects real life availability of equipment, sure the germans can get a tiger 2 but only one of them and its expensive to lose one which makes it a gamble to use at a bad time. you also have anything from infantry support tanks to tank destroyers which gives fun variety effects and sound design are far far better, gunfire sounds scary and pretty close to ukraine footage etc. audio is some of the best ive heard surpression actually works and is a viable mechanic unlike in HLL, machineguns arent just automatic sniper rifles like in HLL medic class is actually viable and important communication and teamwork are actually required unlike HLL, and most people do both in this game unlike HLL SQ44 has far more factions/weapons/vehicles/content SQ44 gunplay feels miles better than the arcadey yet somehow also clunky HLL gunplay

[@Swordsheep]

Indeed the tanks in hll is a rock pappers scissors and it sucks on that notion. Tottaly rigth there

[@Swordsheep]

Uff no. Sound effects on hll are really fucking good. That one thing hell let loose wins easly.

[@Swordsheep]

Coms are a must and a requirement on hll too, but it is a fact that in the last year, 80% of people are not talking. The team who coms and marks more is the team who wins. It totaly makes a dofference and it is a must. Overal, indeed squad is best but you were very bios on your critics

[@serganta8861]

I would say it depends if Offworld will try to change the game in a more HLL direction they may get more players but not as succesfull as HLL. Which is silly because the people that play HLL will to continue playing HLL. You would need something gamechanging (or the developer of HLL fuck up big time) to get an already loyal playerbase from one game to yours. Another reason why it is silly is because you would alienate your fanbase of the old Post Scriptum which is like a huge middlefinger the the fans and players who have played the game even though it seemed abandoned. I would honestly say they should go into a more Arma type game direction as they already have a dedicated community and if you give your community a chance to participate in the development of the game (building scenarios like recreating the Battle of El--Alamein etc.) I think only good will come out of it. :) P. S. (ironic ;) ): I think the existing community of the game is the complete opposite of CoD as most people are just nice and want to have fun (maybe because the target audience is not 16y old Zoomers). While HLL has medics if people don't need to get revived and they can just give up and spawn 20sec later in instead of waiting for a medic only for him to get shot 3m away from you why would you play medic. As someone with a bad PC and even worse aim support roles such as the medic make the most fun as you feel a little bit more useful and in Squad 44 with the ticket system at the end of the game you can say I revived X people and maybe prevented our team from loosing the game.

Been playing this game for longer than HLL personally i always thought it was a better game. The only problem was nobody played it and it was dying. So I jumped over to HLL. Both games are fun, but for different reasons. Squad 44 seems to be better with squads actually communicating and people taking the SL role. HLL it seems like nobody understands the importance of spawn placements. But i do enjoy the progression system in HLL.

For me, the deciding factor is how the game plays/feels. I've put maybe 20 hours into playing Squad off/on whenever a major update happens, but each time I lose interest because the pacing is too slow and the game sucks without a good squad communicating with one another. HLL has much friendlier pacing and you're not completely screwed if your squad isn't the best. HLL perfectly balances a casual gaming feeling while also allowing for a more hardcore experience if the conditions are right. So for me, this only competes against HLL if they take a more casual approach; if the game becomes Squad but WW2 setting, then I can't say I'm too interested.

[@Kottery]

Huh? War doesn't only happen in "ugly" locales. Over time, fighting will make its mark on the surrounding area, but otherwise places just be places. Eugene Sledge remarks in his book that one of the striking things about Okinawa compared to Pelelieu was how he could see the beauty of Okinawa before heading south into the war torn areas of southern Okinawa around Shuri Castle.

[@AD270479]

@@Kottery You're going in to areas that have had bombs dropped from the sky, artillery fired in to areas, bullets flying everywhere... But no bullet holes anywhere, no craters, not the slightest bit of damage on any building, or anything? It doesn't have to be long involved in battle, for it to still show some scars from the battle you are currently fighting, it's unlikely the battle will be on day 1, min 1, even after an hour or 2 of a battle, there will be severe damage. So for not one single map to have one single bit of damage, is very unrealistic... All that aside, it's my opinion that these maps don't look or make me feel like I'm in a warzone, where as HLL there's no doubt you are deep in a warzone. And Okinawa is a bit different, it was only a cpl of months long, whereas places in Europe the battles went on for a lot longer & loads of cities got levelled. And we're not talking about seeing a nice part in Squad44 before heading to a war torn area south on the map, because it's all nice looking, there is no war torn area, ever. Sledge wasn't saying even the parts the battle was taking place looked pretty & untouched by war.
