There’s just one problem that Hell Let Loose has that you can’t really manage around. And if the Commander won’t shut the fuck up, mute them too. Remind yourself that you can’t trust the sound, and play the game like a paranoid tweaker, spinning in every direction every time you hear a bird chirp or your own footsteps two metres behind you.Īnd if you’re playing Squad Leader, press Tab and individually mute every other Squad Leader in the game at the start of the round. Key through your inventory at the start of the round to make sure you don’t panic-equip your smoke grenade in the middle of a gunfight. Move in pairs, so your partner can refrag if you get hitreg fucked. Still, all those problems are really just minor inconveniences. Hell Let Loose has three different voice channels - proximity, squad and command - and the command chat channel is the audio version of unmoderated Twitch Chat. And when I say “sometimes”, I mean any time you find yourself playing as Squad Leader. Speaking of audio, one of Hell Let Loose’s biggest issues is that you’ll sometimes find yourself completely deaf because nobody around you will shut the fuck up. The sound is fine, but it’s not good - and remember, this is a game in the Battlefield genre, the namesake of which was the gold standard in game audio for a long time. Player inventory isn’t bound to specific keys, so pressing 5 on one class might bring up your hammer while it equips your binoculars for another.
The hit registration can feel off sometimes, which might be a server issue, but it might be a game issue too.
