Is Hell Let Loose a good game?

[VICKSUN]

I never played it but someone I sub to on YouTube recently played it for the first time and now I am kind of interested. It is free with game pass so I might download but I have to make room for it. So I am curious if anyone here has played. Is it fun?

I have. It's an intense game with a steep learning curve.  It's on the milsim end of the spectrum.  Many end up dying several times before they ever get a chance to kill someone or maybe even see the enemy.  

If you're used to games like ARMA, it will be a lot easier to adapt to this one.  You can't just run & gun.  There is a lot of "stop, look and listen", using cover and concealment, working as a team, etc.

To be honest, I tried to get into it but all my friends got too frustrated and gave up.  .....and we're all used to playing milsim games like ARMA Reforger and DayZ.

If they had co-op against AI, it might be a different story but as it is, you're often pitted against  people who are already familiar with the game and are effective. 

Your best bet is to find folks you can team up with who are willing to show you the ropes and who you can learn from.

I played it a few times. First time I had to run for what felt like EVER and just ended up getting killed. It happened 5 times. lol

I tried again and this time I played very stealthy. I mean to the point where I was belly crawling everywhere. I managed to not only avoid being shot but I got my first kill. I didn't contribute much to the game though.

Third time I played with a friend and he hated it. So I uninstalled and moved on. I wouldn't keep playing it alone. It would get boring real fast.

Did you play this online with friends? How was it? I was considering getting it. A friend of mine said he would be down to play and one of the people on his friends' list already has it.

Yes. In fact, I rented a server for our small group. We played it as a PvE co-op. .....us against zombies.  I was able to change some of the game files to change aspects of the game in regard to spawns, etc. 

We did play PvP and while that was fun at first when it initially launched on PS4, it quickly devolved into everyone for themselves.  ....but PvE was fun.

The game had issues though especially with the cars and lag due to the way they were implemented / controlled. I think they finally fixed that so they work like how they do in Reforger.

The game is... a required taste. I tried to get into it a few times cause some of my friends play but I just can't. It is to slow moving for me and I don't like not having certain things common in other shooter games.
