Could Squad 44's New Update Kill Hell Let Loose?

Hey dev here. Great video thank you for the feedback :) , some quick extras to add, Pacific planned in for the roadmap late this year, the graphics have been entirely overhauled from grass, trees, buildings, lighting, map overhauls and more :)

Big thing with Squad44 is the mod scene. The Offworld devs bought out 2 major mods (Crete and Project Variety) and implemented into the main game. Its good as mods are what players want to have. Hopefully we see the Chapter Red (Ostfront) mod implemented soon. Plus with 100 players and Iwo Jima before the year ends, things are looking good. The milsim/realism is a big barrier for most HLL players that would otherwise jump onboad the S44 train.

I think they both offer something different, so I'm happy for them to co-exist. But what I do want is Squad 44 to really push on and give the HLL Devs a kick up the arse because they need it. And vice versa

Something you missed was that the Pacific update has been announced in their new road map.

The 40 vehicles in the update came from the mod they bought. I also gotta add, Squad 44's audio design (besides footstep sounds) is miles better than HLL, idk how many audio reworks that game has had but it sounds like muted poop compared to S44.

Squad 44’s audio and animations blow Hell Let Loose’s away. Oh, and they’re adding the Pacific Theater, first map will be Iwo Jima.

T17 has now decided it was a good idea to price HLL at the triple A level of $50 shortly after releasing an overpriced $12 DLC with mediocre skins, smh just buy Squad44 fellas.

offworld actually officially teased the pacific theatre coming to squad 44 somewhere in the next 6 months

You can’t play a milsim and complain about it not feeling as smooth as an arcade like shooter.

People complaining about the visuals in post scriptum(squad44) probably watch porn for the plot

Idk what he's talking about saying the game doesn't look good and is clunky. Compared to hll squad 44 looks better and plays less stiff and clunky.

Want to play in a cinematic WW2 realism shooter that feels like Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan with a free mod community? Play Squad 44. Want to play the same old WWII formula from the ‘00s with EA DLC content? Play Hell let Loose.

It's like there's a limited number of players who like realistic shooters, then of that there's fewer who prefer WWII realistic shooters, then of that there's fewer who prefer a more realistic WWII realistic shooter. So basically whatever it does, it will always be niche but I'm glad to see that it's definitely not dead and is coming back in big ways

As a HLL Veteran I'm in a big disappointment. I remember playing it from its first days, it was so good.. Post Scriptum was dead game back then, there were few players but you were almost never able to join to some normal server due locked server or only another nations as FR, GR, IT.. People wasn't so nice when you joined and asked if you can be there even if you speak EN. HLL then started to falling apart and that's due to it's buggy updates, higher prices of DLCs which some only adding one helmet. It's breaking my hearth to say it but.. I now recommend to you all to try Squad 44, the way it's heading is.. is really good!

Both Squad:44 and HLL are made in unreal engine 4. The reasons we don’t have these mechanics in game is because BM stopped actually developing the game after the “full release” and instead settled for just adding rather then fixing or building the base game. Hopefully we get this stuff added but T17 has less then 20 people working on the game so at this point I have no hope

If someone could just make a first person Foxhole then my life would be complete.

Everyone should try this game. It is so good. Listen to Squadleaders and you’ll usually have a better experience.

What the hell are you worry about? Just buy squad 44

There are not many players who are playing this game now - around 500 - 800 only. Comparing to Hell Let Loose where are +4000 players.

I bought Squad 44, went to the server list and there was only one full server, couldn’t even join it because it kept kicking me from the queue. I promptly requested a refunded and loaded up Hell Let Loose.
