Early Access Review
Love the energy and time the developers put into Hell Let Loose. Also has a very active and vocal community (in- and outside the game), which helps a lot.

Gameplay-wise, I have next to nothing bad to say. Gunplay, Proximity Chat and Squads make this game feel truely special. Slow and clever moves instead of ADHD-gameplay, positioning and tactical finesse are most important. Roles feel imporant and add variety. I also had no issues with getting kicked, I always sticked to english or german servers and met only nice people. One more thing is the very natural progession system.

Problems arise when a map becomes way too one-sided because of blatantly stupid calls and bad spawn points (or no spawn points!). Unfortunately, you are heavily dependent on your leaders, and a non-communicative or stupid (or worse: not placing outposts) squad leader/commander will most likely heavily lessen your fun and own effectiveness in battle. I encountered one cheater in my 40 hours playing. Oh, and good luck getting into a sniper-Squad.

That all said, Gameplay outweighs the negatives by a lot, also when the communication-aspect works (and it mostly does), it is the best Shooter on the market in my humble opinion.
