The new Maps suck

[ALLrich2]

Feel like the British faction is terrible in terms of balancing. El Alamain is pretty much unplayable on offensive for the attacking team. Giant open fields that make me feel like im playing BF2042 hourglass map. The move speed buff is just a way to appeal to more casual players, which is exactly what this game does not need more of. This update IMO made the game worse. Sad but not surprising, after all this is modern gaming.

I'm having a good time on the new maps, minus the crashes I've had. ( crashed 2 out of 4 times on new maps so far...) You need to work together to lay smokes down in order to move to the next hill, recommend having a lv 6 assault & maybe medic if someone has the guts for that.

Honestly move speed is what it is, should be a little slower though, but there's already a hundred threads on that so.

The new map blows. Its just a spawn and die fest because you cant see where anyone is and its all open terrain. Its the least fun ive ever had on a game.

I 100% disagree. I can't believe the hate El Alamein gets. I look forward to playing both maps for a long time. Both maps have been a pleasure thus far, and a welcome addition to the lineup. Maybe it's because I've been with some great squads that were effective, along with good commanders. A blast!

Both maps are pretty good.
Driel avoids the Remagen problem and El Alamein is anything but super open.
There are enough rocks, dunes, hills and ruins to move and flank.
And guess what the movespeed buff helps with that.

Driel is okay if you manage to get across the river. El Alamein is very boring and uninspired in my opinion. Same strategy every match....deploy AT positions on opposite hills surrounding oasis and get sniped by tanks. Would've liked to see a Tobruk map instead. Base and Russia maps are immensely better then this update's maps. Hopefully we get better British maps in the future

The Bolt-Action guns weren't balanced for E-Alamain. Or to say it the other way round, E-Alamain doesnt fit to the current infantry weapons.

At the distance the infantry fights take place in E-Alamain the Bolt-Action guns dont one-hit-kill anymore. So you need at least 2 bullets for every single person with like a 5 to 6 round clip...
Thats fatal fighting machine guns that on ther other hand snipe you down having almost zero spread.

(whats up with the british guns and iron sights blocking half the screen?)

I like the tank and AT-Gun play in El-Alamain.

Edit/PS*:
People called this game a walking simlulator and it was the running gag ever since.
Now the dev's finally adress it by increasing the overall walking speed and everyone is mad.

This game was never post scriptum tho, the speed buff is only the logical evolution. With this kind of map size, it's not a good idea to have slow sprint speeds.

new maps are mostly empty. the quality of the maps dont fit the other maps at all. they look more like someone modded these maps into the game rather than an official release by the devs. guns and weapon systems werent balanced around maps like these as someone else mentioned...2 rifle hits to kill someone at that distance.

the game already had render issues where objects disappear at a distance but you can still see the player behind it, so you shoot at invisible walls...now its like trying to shoot someone in a playdoh environment where half the terrain objects arent rendering.

its almost like the maps were created and the devs realized testing it that it took forever to cross a completely empty desert so they buffed run speed (that no one asked for). trying to balance the game for 1-2 maps by implementing something like runspeed...you are just breaking the other maps. have fun finding all the unreachable spots pre-update we can get to now that we move 15% faster.

respawn points, transport trucks, half tracks, the jeeps beg to differ

The maps aren't the problem, it's the terrible implementation of British weapons. Forget about hitting any Germans with a British rifle beyond 200 meters. And even if by some miracle you do, you're rewarded with a non-kill.

With the G43 or K98, I have no problem hitting targets on El Alamein from 350 - 400 meters ... usually about 25 - 35% accuracy. With any of the British rifles, my accuracy shooting at anything beyond 200 meters is about 2%.

This game is virtually dead to any veteran players who played because they didn't want CoD or BF. Team17, over the past year, has transformed HLL into a Frankenstein of a game that doesn't even resemble its former self. And if that weren't bad enough, there's a large infestation of bugs that get introduced with every release and never actually get fixed.

Go back to Update 12 and 13 ... literally ZERO of the problems they introduced in those updates has been fixed and it's been more than a year.

explain to me how spawning in and being sniped by someone with iron sights that even a person with a 4k monitor can barely see at like 500 meters? Whenever i played that map id die every few seconds after spawning no matter where i was.

I've always hated African campaign maps in ANY WW2 game. I'm not surprised I found myself not liking this map.
