Hi guys, recently started playing hell let loose, which is so realistic in my opinion but, there is still fps drops sometimes and wooden physics.. Do you play or have you tried?
I don't really play that kind of games, but you might find some info in these forum posts : http://www.grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=22182.0

HLL is a great game. And I say that having played everything that remotely resembles it from WWII online thru Heros and generals and Post scriptum. On the other hand (so as to explain why
I prefer Enlisted these days), I like commanding a "squad" (or half-squad) of AI (robot quasi-Avatars since you can switch to the robot of your choice) even if it makes the game where you do that (Enlisted) more or less arcady and often just plan absurd.
Which brings up another point...HLL games can run for quite a while with relatively little action. For a while I liked that -- exploring the maps and so on, but I'd rather indulge in some
frenzied absurdity (which -- and this is really a good thing -- doesn't happen all that much in HLL).
I play HLL regularly. I like it. The maps are beautiful and the bomb explosions are spectacular!
I really like HLL but haven't played in quite a while. The reason is I was turned off by how quickly a team could lose the match because of not capturing objectives and not launching attacks from well placed spawn points.
I don't know if things have changed in the past year.

I'm back wandering around in HLL. Some of the maps have been rebuilt. There's an influx of new players (due to external circumstances involving whatever popular games the general population is
abandoning for other popular games that haven't quite happened yet apparently) and they are a disappointment as usual. I'm a disappointing old player and now I have the gear to prove it:
the aptly named "Silver Vanguard" DLC which features nice hats and jackets for older men. If you are an armored officer, you get "Hell on Wheels" (or something like that) lovingly embroidered on the back of your jacket. I'll take some screen shots of the new parts of the revised maps if I see any. I'll stay away from Foy and try to forget what I learned there about how to shoot boatloads of Volksgenadiers without much trouble with your basic trusty M1. Probably back to the trials and tribulations of being a "Squad leader" (ie of six at most). Eventually I'll graduate there to "NCO" and get my "Squad Leader" M1 to replace my carbine. It's something to work toward anyway.
This might be new (on St. Marie du Mont):

I play HLL almost every evening. Im up to level 171. I think the game is just getting better with every update. I especially enjoy the 2 new Russian maps! The Kursk map reminds me of every picture ive ever seen of the place.......

I agree. Wow 171! I'm at about 40. At least I can wear a mechanic's hat to show how tough I am. I'm just getting back into HLL after a weird detour into Enlisted.
Might have to finally get it, tired of B5 and need something else.

Yep. I'm back in for a bit. Maybe to revisit old battlefields and see when the Commonwealth forces might be coming in. Maybe yet another Tobruk? Could be interesting. Meanwhile
I'm generally amazingly bad at this game but my score-rank thing is now relatively low (at 43) so nobody is too surprised when I fail to do anything particularly useful. Here's a scene
in a truck on Foy:

The McGinty brothers were known for their matching scars, and exceedingly long fingers.
This is a great game. I just can't play it at night because the adrenaline pumping through my body after playing it keeps me from falling asleep ;D. Being in the middle of an arty strike is just completely insane!!! It's definitely a heart pounding experience!
next week the new update comes out adding a new map Kharkov, jeeps and snow smocks and flamethrowers......the game gets better with each new update. I now have 1795 hours in to playing it. Current level 236.

That's astounding. I'm at level 43, but with my actual abilities, probably 20 is more my speed. Jeeps and snow smocks sound wonderful. I think I will try to avoid the flamethrowers.
All this talk about HLL makes me want to play again. The problem is time.
I just got it as part of the November HumbleBundle. Haven't had a good experience so far.
The installation was a bit of a headache. Had a few corrupted files on thecfirst attempt that caused the game to crash on the loading screen. Once that was sorted, the Unreal engine reared its ugly head during configuration and flipped out over the presence of my HOTAS setup.
Once I got the game running, I found the lack of any meaningful tutorials/boot camp areas a bit off-putting but jumped into a server.
It took me back to WWII Online. 5 minutes of frustration just trying to figure out how to join a squad and spawn in were followed by a lovely 5-minute jog across France and then Stalingrad as I chased the green dots of my squadmates. Both were abruptly ended by a bullet in the cranium from an unseen enemy.
I found a boot camp server and hopped in there. Guys on chat were in a non-stop bitch session about how none of the players but me was a noob and ppl were just there to noob farm/grief. Then they switched to bitching about how nobody knows how to attack and capture spawn points. We started taking fire from a building across the street so I tossed a grenade. Then my squad leader decided to sprint to the same doorway where I just threw it and he ended up getting killed by it and instituting a kick vote against me.
And there are no Brits/Commonwealth troops in the game. Think I might go back to Post Scriptum.
Post scriptum is a good game....its just a shame that so few people play it.
SDR - I feel your pain. These sorts of games should be so much fun, but trying to play on a team of random assholes can be horrible. I've bought them all on the basis that I'll play in a squad of mates and have a few times managed that - resulting in memorable gameplay.

Supposedly there will be Brits/Commonwealth troops eventually. I keep wandering back to HLL and have had some okay times recently. If I can't find a good squad, I make my own. This means
I end up being a squad leader fairly often, but even that can be nice when the CO (a captain or so) sends you and your rag-tag band of misfits to see about something -- which means you must have
accidently created an okay squad. So that's nice.
