Game looks fun, I've been fascinated by WW2 history since I was a child (my grand parents served in RAF during WW2) I started playing ww2 games with the original MOH and always look for new games in the genre. I'm interested in this game but a little apprehensive about diving into it since the last multiplayer I played online was COD WW2 on PS4 some years ago now, so I'm a little out of touch so to speak.Pacific 2025
@ It’s like riding a bike. Hop on and it may be bumpy at first, but you’ll be having fun again in no time. Ask questions, join the Discord or Reddit, and make sure you have a good time!
@@GebatronGaming I'm about to try it out since its free until tomorrow. Of course there is also Enlisted and HLL, which one is the best of the three in your opinion?
@ My time with Enlisted is very short and, while I think it’s a great game, it wasn’t my style. I’ll have to revisit it though. About a year ago I made a video highlighting what I think are the most important differences between Squad 44 and HLL. Watching it may help you make a decision. Here it is: ruclips.net/video/ZsfZJqtCLzg/видео.html
@@GebatronGaming Hey, thanks for your input, I been watching the video, great work there, very informative and nice guide as to the difference for beginners.
This is insane. As an avid HLL player it is downright depressing to see Squad 44 pump out that many great updates. Elsenborn Ridge was a good addition but other than that, there really isn't much in HLL's update history to write home about. I always said that the strength of HLL was always that it sits comfortably between Squad and Battlefield in terms of gameplay and it is very lucky that it doesn't have any competition there. While that is still true to some extent, excuses to not play Squad 44 instead become fewer and fewer. Right now it it is available for € 14,- which is a steal. Thanks for the video, I might have missed out on the incredible progress of Squad 44. Pacific 2025
HLL is a fine game but it was designed to allow extremely casual play. Designing a game to allow that means it will exclusively become a casual shooter. Always. You have to design the game like this to be cooperative to make squad play fun.😊
@@tofu1608 That's not really the point. I never considered HLL to be a milsim, so I never expected the gameplay experience of one. I keep saying it is a team sport and it certainly feels that way. That is fine and I actually like that. I admit the role based XP system is detrimental to the teamplay aspect but there are community solutions to that problem. Regardless what any game tries to achieve, if there are game quality and QoL issues (and HLL has plenty of those), then it would be wise to address them, if you're in charge of development. Instead of UI improvements and features that would be useful, we get maps (which are really hit and miss) and half thought through features. The non-verbal comms markers for non-SLs are a prime example. A good idea in theory but the types of markers we got require a verbal callout anyway. The fact that they only stay up for 10 seconds, just means you can't even use them as replacement markers. Another one is the displayed spawn cycle timer on the spawn screen. It isn't a bad idea in principle but they don't help if you need to spawn in a specific area. Either figure out how to display the garrisons map grid position in the selection (which would teach new players that this is a much better way of identifying them in the process, as their numbers mean nothing if you're not on the spawn screen) or better yet, display the timer next to the respective spawnpoints. My comment was meant to convey my envy of Squad 44's update history. Not only did they add a lot (and way more than HLL's devs did in the same time), it also seems to benefit the game. The visual improvements, 100 player support and stamina rework are a huge deal.
Idk if you bought it, but even with a 3060 it is so poorly optimized, for a so low graphic charge compared to other games, I hope you didn't find that problem
You can only take your hat off to the developers - what other games in this area cannot do despite a higher budget - the people from Squad 44 can do it. I'm still deeply impressed | Hopefully the number of players will increase - for this masterpiece
What a delight suprise. An ultra realistic mil sim for WW2 that represents not only europe but also the rest of the world that took part and fought for their country. Aint nothing better than that. See you on the battlefield. Pacific 2025
Squad 44 is better than HLL & this is coming from a 2018 HLL (Black Matter) Kickstarter. I despise Team 17 and their acquisition from Black Matter almost 3 years ago. The only assets Team17 worked on independently are; their trailer, Mortain, swathes of DLC to include the haircuts, skirmish mode, night variants & Elsenborn Ridge with some new camos. So in almost 3 years, that’s what T17 has accomplished.
In fairness, Team17 has been able to introduce features that Black Matter was unable or unwilling to implement into the game, things like freelook, dynamic weather and console server browsing, just off the top of my head.
Thanks for covering Squad 44, Gebatron! I've really liked your very fair comparison video between HLL and Squad 44, so it's good to see you shedding some more light onto this game that definitely is not dead! ;) Pacific 2025
If they can use some of the skills from the fantastic cinematic trailers they're releasing to build up tutorials and material to help ease players into the game then Squad 44 might have a chance. Til then HLL will still be no 1 thanks to it's more accessible gameplay loop. But we need the competition, HLL can't be left alone to stagnate like it has. Looking forward to Pacific 2025!
Looks like Offworld is really turning this around. I play HLL and Squad and for me this game always looked like a Squad reskin. But the commitment to detail here and dev updates are way more than I remember. Hope the general milsim players finally give this one a chance. I'll play the free weekend at least. Thanks for reminding us of this game and I look forward for your future content on, Pacific 2025
squad 44 is looking good, I can't wait for the pacific theater! i am always trying to get my friends to play squad 44, and i think the pacific theater will finally get alot of my friends to come play the game!
Only few games cover both the battle of France and the pacific campaign. Only Forgotten Hope 2 (bf2 mod) and Blitzkrieg 2 (rts) come to my mind. This is so great!! Were so back! Pacific 2025
Just found out about this game after playing HLL for over a year this game looks fantastic would love to play it and love that a pacific expansion is coming. Pacific 2025
I'm so excited for the pacific front. I'm a longtime fan of hell let loose and I'm just waiting for it to go on sale, or maybe even get lucky :3 heres to Pacific 2025

I have 4,500 hours in this game and am still addicted to it. OWI has made some questionable choices in focusing on content before fixing known bugs like the Easy Anti Cheat time out issue, broken towing for 2 years, or glitching game mechanics. However, OWI is the only reason Post Scriptum didn't fully die. The rebranding was necessary for newer players. As an aside, please include a tutorial for base game mechanics. It gets old watching a blue berry with ten hours drive the Mobile Spawn Point into a contested point. See you all in game - Lukeleyduke
Bro, I have a great idea for a content for HLL: Make a video on the best uniform camo for each map for each faction. Which uniform blends best with the environment. I think its a great guide for veterans and newbies. No one ever done it yet which is surprising !
Great review with details and awnsers I was looking for concerning this game. Love that they keep updating and improving continously. I've always been a fan of OG Battlefield 1942, this now is great updated version even more detailed. Would love to own it! Pacific 2025
Overall, I'm pretty pumped for the WW2 milsim genre right now. I hate that people keep trying to make it an "either-or" situation between S44 and HLL. Depending on which friends are online, I'll play either game. We as the consumers come out as winners. Pacific 2025
I've been watching the development of this game for a while now and was disappointed when, as PS, it seemed to die. If it continues on this path it could be a real rival to HLL. Pacific 2025

The game is far too realistic to maintain more than a niche following. This title is always going to struggle to maintain more than a skeleton player base, unless it moves in the direction of arcade gameplay. Miles in that direction.
I disagree. Squad 44 won't get more players by becoming more like casual shooters. Hardcore games create their appeal by being and STAYING hardcore. If they end up like any other casual shooter, why would one play them?

@@Teh_Monk The game has players and you can easily join a match every day. It gets updates and new content, on a much more regular basis than HLL, actually. How is that dead. Do you even play it, do you know what you are talking about, or are you just parotting.

I liked the previous name better. "Post scriptum" sounds much better than "Squd 44". Pacific 2025.
overall nice Video recap, Pacific 2024
I've never played "first person shooter" games like Squad 44. For Squad 44 do you use a controller and keyboard or does it use a mouse?
I would say 99% of S44 players use a mouse and keyboard. Keep in mind this title is only available on PC.
