I’m able to play 2-3 Skirmish games in the time it takes to play 1 Warfare game. It’s awesome. There are definitely limitations but if I don’t have the time to play a full game I’m jumping on Skirmish. It’s a very good quality of life improvement. Now all we need is a Tank Warfare game mode with 12 tanks per team.
I love those 90 minute games when everyone is on comms and working together, there is literally no better game. However, there are just far too many times I sit down to play for an hour and just don't have energy for a 90 minute game nor the time. So 30 minute games are ideal for people with real lives. Just focussed gameplay that people like me can play when we don't have time for those epic battles.
Also nothing is worse than slogging through a 90 minute match to get to the end and think.. wow, I didn’t even have fun. Happens too often in all these types of games.
@@CrzBonKerz21Haven't played this game in 1-2 years and got tired of spending so much time running and geting sniped, respawn, run again, killed by someone lying in a bush, respawn etc. This did not happen _all_ the time obviously, there were good moments as well. One could argue it's a skill issue, but in these types of games, like Red Orchestra, I like to setup close or behind the enemy lines to surprise gun them down and in this game it felt way too difficult to pull off and more times than not at the end of the game I felt like you said, "I didn't even have fun." which is a shame cause I like the idea and concept of the game. Might give it another try though.
@@CrzBonKerz21That’s literally just you bro , this game isn’t for everyone. Matches going the full 90 minutes is way better than unbalanced steamrolls the entire time!.
As a player that has been playing the game since it was released, I am happy with the skirmish mode. I work and have a family so some days my time is limited and I can't always commit to 1 1/2 hours of gameplay. I agree with Terrydactyl that nothing has changed for this mode, besides no artillery, and less armor/recon squads but other than that, gameplay was just as intense. Hopefully the rest of the maps will be released soon. I also hope that with the recent influx of new players on console, this may be a way for them to play more matches and learn, as there is only one point to control, rather than seeing the blueberries trying to recapture a lost and locked point, we shall see.
Skirmish can be good but usually most teams have no idea what they are doing so there never any Garrison's. They definitely should have added it to maps like carentan. The lack of cover on driel makes it hell, definitely needs more cover from bombing runs, especially considering the train cars are bugged and bullets go through them.
You are in my top two Hell Let Loose youtube channels, I think you and Mono should fight to the death for my No1 spot. In Hell Let Loose or real life, it matters not.
You can hear the bridge at driel the entire game. Like it’s gonna collapse or something. It’s the loudest sound in the game and you can hear it non stop
I loved my first match of Skirmish. Me and my team initially did poorly, only to capture the strongpoint in the last few minutes. I also love the fact it consumes less time, since having a busy day schedule really gets to you.
This gamemode helps players learn how the roles play out for me. This helped me learn the commander role and also get some good exp in the other roles as well. For others may be that skirmish helped them learn the mechanics of the game it is, in opinion, a very good game mode to jump in as maybe a new or veteran player
Yes 30 min game is nice, as many others i also often don't have the time to play a full game But also simply adding how much is left to a game in the "join game/server list" would be a good thing, so people can see how much is left, for time management but also for knowing how soon the map will change
If the mode included every map on the game it would be cool but the fact its only 2 maps is wack (could be more but i only got placed on the same 2 maps)
What I think needs a rebalance is that it should be one tank on map at a time because you can still call multiple tanks in and on driel having a mobile bunker with one dude on point is pretty strong. Especually when you got the other tank flanking the enemy tank and spawns.
We need a Stalingrad map in this mode. And more Eastern Front in general. So weird that the front where most of action happened always gets the least attention.
Seems that the only people who take issue with skirmish are the older milsim types. But they don't seem to grasp the fact that the game needs new players in order to survive, as soon as the devs mention new content, the older guys are immediately up in arms.
I'm really new to HLL and I like this mode. Like you I often don't have time. So a quick game or two in the evening or just before the kids get home is great. I'm still crap at the game though 😂
Bottom line, HLL is the most amazing game I've ever played. The ONLY issue is the lack of communication and team play. (In my opinion) I love that they made the game in a way that depends on working together.... except nobody wants to anymore.
Is the amount of experience awarded at the conclusion of a Skirmish round the same as a full Warfare/Offensive round? That would concern me, it would be a disincentive to join a full game when trying to level up.
Imo the Skirmish mode it's good for the new players to get the idea and play style of the HLL and also allows to have a quick "HLL experience"; don't see nothing wrong with it.
HLL just needed to set a limit to the normal mode. Nothing feels more dragged out, beating a dead horse, then another 30 minutes being added to your game that was a few mins from ending. If you're unlucky it keeps happening.
This seems nice add-on to HLL game modes, just a bit lighter experience of the best (blood and guts) WW2 game there is. See you on the battlefield my fellow grunts.
I think offensive is the best mode in HLL, so I'm interested, but considering that offensive games are impossible to find, I'm not sure how different this mode will be
I think this mode will make me reinstall. The regular modes just drag on for too long with frontlines hardly moving. Also since this mode is more focused, the micless players won't be too bad of an issue.
That’s the map, not the mode. The bushes in the area of the Capture Point are the only cover available. Each new map they add to Skirmish will focus on a single Capture Point and each map will have points of cover that will be heavily used as a means to control the point. It’s a design feature.
I do wonder if paying this more will help the 80% of terrible players out there to recognise that defense is actually half the game... High bar to set, but it's possible.
I had a horrible night the day it came out. felt like I was glowing and everyone was invisible, that’s more on me and the map being that new it was really hectic on Driel. I somehow how pulled out 7 kills but 22 deaths lol. It’s tough on console. Comparing you using the Thompson to me it’s a joke there’s seemingly no recoil on Pc. and then on ps5 it’s insane
Terry what do you think about asking T17 to consider adding FLAMETANKS to HLL? ruclips.net/video/Pb5TwId21qk/видео.htmlsi=4H8Bw5WBFGWsW01H As you can see in this fairly scarey film they had a lot of use , and as we already have the mechanics of flame in the game AND all the tanks that were converted to flame tanks are ALREADY in the game it wouldnt take much to add them. Straight away we have...Germany- pnzr III and pnzr II (luchs) .... America the stuart and shermans ....Russia T34, T70 ....Brits had Churchills and some shermans. (Probably experimented with others, they even had brengun carriers called wasps with flamethrowers) Those are just the tanks that definately had flamethrower versions that we could convert. There were probably many others ive not seen. Plus we could even convert the sdkfz 251 halfrack (the german mobile spawn vehicle) , they had a version with flamethrowers. Just think at the moment flame throwers just arent scarey enough. We should be terrified of these weapons yet in HLL they are almost comical. Tbh i kind of wish now they hadnt bothered because trying to make them useful is a fruitless exercise at best! (Fun admittedly but pretty useless)
I think theres definately room for a shorter , more focused game , sometines you havent got the time or energy to face those huge long games. Ever been in tge position where you WANT to go to sleep or go eat and just as the game seems to be coming to am end the base capture fails amd it switches back!!! 😂 "Oh god no, let it end!! Can we surrender??🤣" Well now we can hop in a quick skirmish instead of NOT turning the game on because the thought of 90 mins is too much!. To be honest id be happy to see skirmish shortened to 20 minutes.
Tried it only good point is there is an option for Warfare/offensive or skirmish servers played two games then left won’t be returning can’t really quantify it just wasn’t the same and was actually a bit boring turned it into a kill fest game please just new maps and not more of this rubbish
Played HLL for years now. This gamemode doesn't fit for me. It lacks all that this game is about for me: Tactic, pacing, making a difference to the game with that one awesome flank or push, also fighting over different objectives and parts of the map each time, planning ahead, building up positions. This game mode is dull and boring, a camper's delight and a machine gun fest, it's ONE aspect of the game (the eternal meat grind) and everything else stripped away. Especially the Driehl map is terrible with little to no cover to push against a 50 player blob. MAYBE this would have worked as planned with 25 players each. I am sincerely hoping this gamemode will not remain on the servers I play on.

Especially on maps like kursk, which were historically massive tank battles
@@thecheezybleezy7036that would be beautiful
This game mode is great if you really don’t have a lot of free time.
I think it will be popular mostly on console.
Agreed. Only means more people get to play HLL
It's great for beginners trying to get a feel for the game.
Yes but if I have to be in that sandbox hell or play as a German or Brit one more time imma cry man need more maps in the rotation
We need pacific. Or better other eras. Make it like project reality@@bigfootshairyass8292

I don’t think this will be me and my mates’s favorite mode, but it is still fun and still feels like HLL.
This mode is for me. Will help me into the larger main game. Well done Devs.

How about fight for the subscription? Lol
Mikey's Marauders Skirmish Mode Only server is up and running
Everyone is just over dramatic whenever anything changes in any game.
For real man
For a good reason, this new dev team already made horrible changes.
@@Swisshost blud just can't stop hating

The audio in general is becoming very poor. Sometimes it doesn't even sound like 3D audio.

I initially thought that skirmish was pandering to the COD boys and girls. But it looks more intense game play, making you have to think.
Played a few skirmish games and found it enjoyable, however teamwork is still important and a good squad can make a big difference.

Liked it a lot! Good change of pace, literally.
I love it! We need more maps like Kharkov or SMDM
Need this for town center Carentan and Pavolv's House on Stalingrad. The lack of cover on current maps can be annoying
Great change of pace. I enjoy it
What I think needs a rebalance is that it should be one tank on map at a time because you can still call multiple tanks in and on driel having a mobile bunker with one dude on point is pretty strong. Especually when you got the other tank flanking the enemy tank and spawns.
Good quality video for the size of this channel!

It's more going in the lines of battlefield, it's hll's version on breakthrough and I love it

This will be a great tool to have skeptical friends join the fight
Very good point
New players you mean?
@@HighDiver5555 yes but also my COD friends I’m trying to convert
@@Mr_Beau_Beau people still play CoD and haven't touched HLL?

Don’t forget to build garrisons
I find it harder to find people with a mic in skirmish sadly😢😢😢
im very happy with skirmish but it needs more maps
Needs more maps tbh
I just learned they released this and it’s 10am here and apparently no one wants to play this game mode on a weekday at 10:45am lol
A skirmish mode server would be top
I think you'll do very well creating a skirmish only server...
Skirmish mode is just like server seeding for Squad, i dont see why people gotta complain abt everything so minute.
I think offensive is the best mode in HLL, so I'm interested, but considering that offensive games are impossible to find, I'm not sure how different this mode will be
It was my pleasure being bbq'd by you during this footage lol.
I think this mode will make me reinstall. The regular modes just drag on for too long with frontlines hardly moving. Also since this mode is more focused, the micless players won't be too bad of an issue.
It can teach players.... 😂 much love brother ❤

That's the "power" of shooters on PC, if skilled, you can handle the recoil. Shooters are not design for a controller.
good thing console doesnt play with pc
Who ever is working with the audio of the game needs to be questioned. The audio is getting worse with each update.
Love HLL but please gawd can we fix the dropping or freezing during a game, this ruins the experience! Coming from an Xbox console player
Terry what do you think about asking T17 to consider adding FLAMETANKS to HLL?

As a player of the game i dont registred we get a new modus. After watching and playing still dont registred
I think it's good. I hate steam rolls. And hate spawn killers. (guessing there is a limit the enemy can flank)
Flank? What's that? XD
Hopefully they can make us an even smaller map playing for 15mins next year.
You can definitely steam roll just went through 2 games of it. I don’t think they should continue to change maps just based on a new mode.
I would love it if it was 25 vs. 25! It seems a crowded as is!
Too bad nobody plays it. Every time I look for a game on console, I start the game being the only person in the entire server. Bull
There needs to be more maps the fact that I play driel and el alemein on repeat makes me sick the British factions are so boring
