This game is just.. unsatisfying

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

In the over 2 hours I played I saw an enemy soldier maybe 3 times. My play session consisted of being killed instantly from enemies I couldn't see but somehow killed me no problem despite me being in a bush or laying prone behind a fence.

I spent more time walking to the battle or staring at a respawn screen than I did actually doing anything exciting. I appreciate what this game is trying to do by making it realistic but there was never any excitement to the combat, no firefights or taking cover under fire. You'll be skulking along with your team mates trying to get to the objective and suddenly you get a respawn screen without ever seeing or engaging an enemy.

Simply join a clan or a clan match. Never play solo and squad up.

Could be bad spawn point placement or overal bad tactics by your team. I also had a game yesterday where we were pinned from all directions and couldn't exit spawn and that was it.

similar experience. i know there is strategy here, but for casual play this might be a run-die simulator...

I'm trash at a lot of games, but at least I'm able to have fun at those games while learning.

This game is just *blink* and you're dead. You don't know who or what killed you. Game gives you no information to go off of to learn from. Some pixel on the horizon kills you and you get the exciting task of waiting to respawn so you can walk back to the battle and get deleted from existence again.

I kinda feel bad for players who started with this gameplay loop and found it fun, "Oh boy some unknown, unseen enemy instantly killed me and I don't even know how, so much fun!"

Huge curve, my first 2 hours probably paralleled yours. Need to move with cover, scanning as your move, move with squadmates. It's impossible to explain this game in one post, you gotta play it more. (And with people who already know how to play, thus you learn)

I would also like to add that it definitely isn't for everyone, and that's okay.

When I first started I totally understood your frustration. But with this game you have to be patient. I mean REALLY patient. Learn how to use your class properly. Learn how to work with your squad. Communicate with them. When you get more comfortable playing and you have a good squad working together, it's an awesome experience that few shooters can match. The teamwork reminds me of the old Battlefield games. Also give armor a try since you can get way more kills that way.

how can you not spot an enemy soldier? something is clearly wrong in your approch.
your complaning about dying alot, also tells a story about your game behaviour

this isnt battlefield, where you will survive running tough open fields. TTK is VERY fast

Played my first two game this weekend. My second game I joined a squad that was talking and I got 29 kills

[WishFish]

And I just got another movie moment. This game seems to provide lots of those. We were advancing through the wood in a line, clearing enemies who were mindlessly running around.

I'm having the most fun i had since the last free weekend lol. I put 6 hours straight in it yesterday. Games kind of addictive i think foor we older fellas.

[Moisture]

What I do every time I join a squad is I immediately break the ice by saying hello, Asking a question about what we are doing. If that gets you nowhere don't hesitate to change squads.
This is a very social experience. Might take a minute but you will have a great time with a bit of jumping around.

[Vlambulance-YouTube]

Im sorry u feel like that. but according to your comment you seem to be running 24/7 and not using your cover.

I am having a blast in this game, even if we lose i am having allot of fun with my squad.
Try using commuciation and take things slow.
Try joining a squad who use a microphone with a squad leader who got experience.
Try using cover and cover your angles.

Yes, I feel bad for people who have fun in ways that I don't. How dare they have differing opinions, the pure audacity.
On a more serious note I highly doubt anybody's first couple hours in HLL is filled with long lives and many kills and full understanding of the game. People who enjoy a challenge and to figure things out on their own (or who looked up youtube videos I guess if that's their thing) will enjoy HLL, people who don't.. won't.

I had two friends try for the first time last night, I was worried they would hate the game because one was talking about how he can't see very well. Figured he'd rage quit after the first 10 minutes, we also played for 6 solid hours and he picked it up. Pretty sure his buddy is getting it too.

Yeah it feels like you're really in a squad in WW2. I bought this last free weekend, but the free weekends are great being there's so many more players. It's one of my favorite games.

It's not for everyone obviously. If you're into COD or BF or stuff like that, you're not getting that here at all. But for me who don't like those games, that's a good thing lol.

That happened to me for the first maybe 45 minutes. The next 2 hours were very interesting.
Sounds like you just didn't understand how to play the game.
In my second game I got 12 kills and died three times, in the third 14 kills and 11 deaths.
The game definitely rewards people who are cautious and who got good ideas how to flank the enemy and I found that quite rewarding.

And I'm in my 30s, so most definitely not the fastest reaction time.
This game is much more about considering your options and looking at the battle, deciding where to go, than the modern Battlefield games, which are all pretty much garbage.

The last online shooter I enjoyed was/is PUBG, where your life/attempt counts even more than in this game. Obviously HLL is quite different from PUBG, but I enjoy that you can outskill somebody by using your brain and it's not all about twitch reaction capabilities.

I'm thinking about buying it.
