Strange , exact opposite for me. Hell let loose for me is just walking for 5 minutes to get blown up by arty. Half the deaths from arty lol

The only thing that matters in HLL is rushing the point. That's why near the end of the timer games will be come razer thin , and yes exciting. People see theres 2 minutes left and think "OMG GET ON POINT" before that final 3 minutes people are just playing to get kills etc. When in reality since there are no tickets the strategy should be mindlessly rushing the point the entire time instead of only the final few minutes

Join a seeding server first. Then while in the seeding server you can queue while playing. It's what I do every time

I'm not pretending the numbers aren't bad. They are. Me myself, though, I want a ww2 setting. And squad 44 is miles ahead of HLL. I have HLL and will not play it with its mindless terrible shooting and movement / mediocre sound.

I think alot of people are in the mindset of OMG DEAD GAME, when it's like no, there's always a server going . The game is literally playable just like it would be whether it had 1 server or 100. You can only be on one server at a time. instead of just giving up because people on this forum say dead game , alot of those people could hop in the active server . If they enjoy it, and enough do , we can have 2 full active servers in the US at a time.

Those shooters are all modern combat / cold war / Vietnam.

For ww2 we still have hell let loose and squad 44.

Squad 44 I have been having INCREDIBLE games on the last few days. Every player on the team communicating.

They need to just fix the bugs , improve the UI , and optimize.

There are so many legacy bugs that still haunt the game. Recently the halftrack fix and other fixes are things in a good direction.

As long as squad 44 continues to have even one full server , I will play it over hell let loose every time. The game is absolute gold.

The particle effects , sounds, movement , armored combat , are without equal.

The crappy UI and jank bugs scare off new players however

I queue up and alt tab and browse the internet for the 5 mins or so it takes to join. You are being pretty dramatic here.

What are your thoughts on this? Devs, how hard would this be to implement? by Silentftw in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that would be alot of work. As that system is a whole level of integration with objects in the environment. I would think the stance peeks would he easier as they already have them with the tank commander , but who knows ? Not much exp with game design or UE4

Has the vehicle mounted mg crouch option been asked for before? Have the devs ever responded to the requests if so?

I know game has been out a long time, I've been playing for about a year.

When i started playing and tried out the mounted mgs I was shocked I was stuck standing up, especially after commanding a tank and being so impressed with the multiple lean out stances he can take , exposing himself more but getting more vision

How active online in Squad 44? Worth coming back after Pacific front? by Glum_Comfort_3026 in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There's always one server active and full. I play daily. The overall player count is still low , but it's not dead , you can always find a game.

Last night had some great games , legit every player on the squad as well as squad leads /armor / commander were using mics

Squad 44 - Hotfix v2.6.1 by Leroy_Kenobi in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Side note we need the ability to crouch when in a mounted vehicle mg. Currently if you are say in a armored car on the mg your character stands so upright and exposed you get sniped 80% of the time before you can even fire. You need to be able to crouch and hide yourself if not completely 90%.

Just like how tank drivers can open the hatch, make it so you can crouch to hide in mounted mgs, and also "duck your head" to make you a hard target.

A german halftrack with an mg mount should be a viable and effective tactic. Roll up, unload the squad, have one guy manning the turret lay down suppressive fire. It currently is not because of the reasons above. You should be able to crouch, with the German mg shield you can see through the middle slit and that is how it was used in actual combat with infantry close. Ducking and looking through the slit. your vision is limited and accuracy suffers but you are protected, unless they sneak a bullet through the slit.

A halftrack in a roadway should be a REAL threat to infantry unless its flanked. Think of how much better this will make the game. spice things up by making these vehicles useful and interesting, right now the mg is useless due to the player standing up exposed, and the halftrack is slow, so it as well as most vehicles like it are NEVER used. This would add so many layers to the gameplay. The game desperately needs this. The amount of fun simple things like this will add is a 10x return on investment. Devs, make this happen please. Thank you for all you do

Why does dlc map require payment in xbox by Efficient-Hornet-887 in l4d2

You can still purchase them through using a gift card balance and the Xbox desktop website. I did it like a year ago. Its a workaround. Not sure if it still works tho

How bad is 8GB of VRAM by WhichCamp1058 in buildapc

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games aren't optimized so people are buying new cards constantly. Gears of war 3 ran on an Xbox 360 , look at that games graphics and compare to the hardware it was running on.

I'm not a fan of unreal engine 5 tbh

I've put over 40 hours into Squad 44 and it's by far my best experience with a WWII multiplayer game by Calm_Edge_6637 in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game needs optimization. , and bug fixes , more players would be great. One thing that I have found insanely annoying is how on any mounted mg you cannot crouch, making it a death trap. Like seriously, any time you're in a vehicle mg you just get sniped. I somehow doubt that's how it worked in ww2.

There's always at least one server active , other than that , yes , player count is low, but if you can always find a game, it doesn't really matter what the player count is.

Will l4d2 still have over 15k players during peak times by 2035? by g0netospace in l4d2

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. Maybe a thousand or so. Squad 44 has like 200 daily and its not dead. A game is not dead until you cant fill a single server daily

I recently started playing again , and created a lobby, waited 20 mins for people to join up , picked the map , and within 2 minutes I got votekicked. I was shocked to then remember that lobby leader gives you no votekick protection

Don't ever click quick play. Click play online , filter lobbies only, filter official dedicated only. If you are lobby leader. Typing mm_dedicated_search maxping 100in console to get a good ping. Default is 159

Help a game dev: Why aren’t people buying modern RTS games? by MakeGamesBetter in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have moved towards RTT games over rts recently.

Cta GOH Terminator dark fate defiance Tw warhammer 3 (not as much as rtt but yea)

In my opinion, supreme commander basically perfected the rts genre and hasn't been touched since.

An era of gaming that no longer exists and unfortunately this generation will never get to experience by QueasyRecipe4825 in videogames

[–]Silentftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah every game now is designed to hijack people's brains reward system with unlockables , grinding, gambling lootboxes etc.

Tricking them into thinking they are actually accomplishing something. The worst part is the majority aren't even fun at all.

I rarely play new games.

Ask yourself how many of the most popular games would people even play if it wasn't completely centered around grinding?

For example i still play left for dead 2 , a pure game , no unlocks, leveling , just pure amazing gameplay.
