Stalingrad map is spot on

[[1AD] -=Medusa=-NL]

One thing I love to do is to find the location in Google Earth and transpose the tactical HLL maps to see how accurate they are.

When using georectified authentic WW2 aerial photographs and use that to transpose, the accuracy of the map design is clearly visible.

Stalingrad is spot on. The devs have done a great job getting the map historically accurate.

Here the Stalingrad tour video which shows this.

Enjoy

what map design belongs i dont think anybody should or can complain, they are just too good at it.

Aesthetics of all maps have always been good. Functionality, not so much...

I think it's rather good.

Functionality can be improved by objective design changes, such as strong point location and size as well as improved gun balancing.

It's not bad but WAY too many reused assets like buildings, debris, fences, trenches, etc. Everything looks exactly the same no matter where you are on the map.

Enjoy your wide open fields plagued with the 60m dev induced grass rendering distance exploit...

Worst running and death simulator yet.

Tigers were never at Normandie, not on the maps present in the game. Germans have acces to Fallschirmjäger Uniforms, these were never at the beaches.
Every Squad in the US has acces to BARs and MGs, Thompsons are handed out like regular weapons.
The Jumbo and 76 are in Normandy in masses.
No Springfields for the US GIs.

If you want to complain about the eastern front make your homework.
After all it was you who said Tigers and G43 were never at the eastern front at all.

I think he was only speaking of Eastern Front simply because it was a topic subject not a "Normandy" so you might have miss fired here, bro.

Just saying that is strong possibility. Also considering its main front they are working on currently obviously on Black Matter its propably more talked about subject and what people are trying to influence.

This is a bit hyperbole.

Yes, assets are reused. But this is for a reason. We have a 50x50 player map where performance is key. More unique assets will result in less performance. So there is a break even point where we accept the limitations of network speed and server/client CPU/GPU limitations.

Yes, I would have each corner of a map to be purely unique. Each asset unique, as in real life.
But hey. We live in 2021 where CPU and GPU power still on average is struggling to get everything running at the speed we like. And we have a dev team not backed with AAA budgets.

But is the game about unique assets alone? No, I would say.

In a perfect world I would have a 1:1 representation of the real world. But that is at this time a unreasonable requirement.

One thing the devs can do and I applaud that is that they can try to get the atmosphere and accuracy of the historical map location as fairly accurate as possible.

And in that aspect the devs have succeeded. I tried to reflect that in the video.

From my side as a HLL fan I try to focus on the strength of the game instead on the shortcomings. One way to do this is to work on personal showcases which emphasize why I like to play this game, a game which in my view is superior to any other game in this genre.

Is it perfect? No
Do I double click on the HLL game icon and start it and have a blast? Yes.

Because responding to the argument is too hard right? You guys commit reportable offenses such as naming and shaming, flame or insult other members, derail a thread's topic, trolling.

You are breaking the community guidelines. It's quite sad, you should get a life and respond to an argument instead of ad hominem attacks on a dead game's echo chamber. It might just be above your capacity and I don't judge for that.

what dead game are you talking about? Stop with that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game is far from dead, and no it is not that you are getting reported but most of the time your getting banned for being a lunatic,, too salty i must say,

Hell let loose is a dead game and has no future. Team17 are terrible developers. Your game is being produced by an arcade casual 2d studio that doesn't care about historical value, authenticity, or accurate representation of a realistic ww2 experience. It's something to be forgotten, never to repeated for it won't be known for it's success. What a sad display that your ilk still panders to the scam artists themselves.

Paid dlc/content and a failed launch (Stalinlag),means this game is going no where once BF/COD wipe away the only players left. It's strictly a business modeled advertisement rather than a game that stands out with it's features or game play.

I can't make you have standards or expectations, but it's clear you don't care enough to engage in meaningful discussion. You spend more time having drama wars and character assassinations, rather than help your beloved game by offering constructive feedback.

You, this game, and it's community are the toxicity that has destroyed this game and you can turn a blind eye all you want.

No one even cares about this failed, dead on arrival, full release title when you have 3.5k peak population during EST/PST prime time.

i havent seen you posted the 8k player playing the game last weekend..
see you are bias everytime you post steam charts, when the players are low in a specific time, you post it immediately but when the amount doubles we dont hear from you .. and what's game breaking about the paid DLC?? its not like "if you dont wear this you cant use this" type of thing, you mad that they're making money??
you act like you paid 5000$ just to get this game, you have 400+hrs? you have your money's worth, i mean i pay 30$ for a movie ..
You keep saying its a scam because it doesnt go on the way you want it to be.. i mean you got scammed after 400hrs come on now , dont be ridiculous

i do have standards on the games i play , every game i have are only FPS nothing more well except for Chivalry 2 i guess , HLL is far from arcade, you can tell by TTK alone ,, and yes Stalingrad is a mess , yes there are players with pew pew mind playing this game, but so what? that's public matches for you,, you'll encounter them from time to time ,, N words, toxics .. unfortunately for you all games have that problem ,,

so stop with the crap that game's dead and ur only proof is what? player count in a specific time? bruh, u look stupid everytime you claim its dead ,
