Hell Let Loose...Company Of Hero's, meets FPS

I want to love this game but far too many games turn into

- Everyone tries to take the next capture point
- Enemy pushes and easily takes our base whilst everyone else is pushing
- We have to run back for miles to get back to the new point to defend

Literally every single game lol

Why not just defend a point when you capture i hear you ask ? well everytime we do that no one attacks it and we sit there doing nothing whilst the rest of the team steamrolls the opposition. Absolutely garaunteed that if we had pushed they would have attacked our base, such is life.

Absolutely cursed playing this

I havent played for a long while now but when I played it was with a few friends and defending is basically all we did, we'd arrive at an objective point and then we would camp up there and defend it for the entire match. Sometimes we would get the occassional attack , sometimes we'd spend the whole game without firing a shot but every war requires defence as well as attack, at least thats how we looked at it. Besides, it was quite fun (and social) to sit and hold "our" point.

Yeah this is the major issue, it's the problem with it being a "semi" mil-sim, it's accessible enough for people to jump into games and run around just trying to focus on their K/D ratio, but not simple enough for the game not to be ruined by these people! :cry:


Hoping that having my own server might be able to negate the worst aspects of it, with a good team of admins and regular squad leaders who can at least try and get great game going!

Still haven't managed to get stuck in to this, keep missing my friends online and then they moved on to 7dtd (and now in many cases, Hogwarts!)

I've joined the discord, thanks for setting that up @Megahurtz400 - I'll try to find some time in the next week to join in.

One issue I had after installing the game was that I tried to join a few servers, but couldn't find a populated one with no minimum level requirement

I've only come across one or two servers with a minimum level requirement, I can understand why servers would implement this, to try and avoid @imtoooldforthis 's point above.

The biggest issue I have is finding a server with enough space for 5/6 people to join without waiting 30 mins in a queue!

Yeah that along with people not placing enough garrisons. God that gets on my **** so bad.

Yep, the game can be entirely boiled down into "Build Garrisons + Find and Destroy enemy garrisons = win games!"

Defending can be fun at times, especially when you've got enough people to try and build some crazy defences around a point!

I'll create an event on the Discord this week and we can all try and get into the same server (which should be fun!) to try and get some good games. If my usual lot all come on, as well as people here, we should have enough people to fill two squads which hopefully would lead to some good games!

I love defending in the game Squad as well, many a time i go the whole map round without firing a shot.
 
Ah nice one mate.

I have a group of 3-5 of us that play on occasions (sometimes mid week) but mostly at the weekend.

I'll see if I can get them along to help at some point. Not expecting you to set us all up for VIP slot but if you could that would be great.

Any help would be amazing buddy!

VIP shouldn’t be a problem until the server fills itself up every night without too much effort, but can look at it then! :D

Myself and 2 mates should be on later, around 8pm normally for our “old gits” Thursday gaming night …. Love a bit of HLL action

I've been on the PC every night this week so taking a break, but feel free to jump on the server!

Hopefully it fills up again, so if you want a VIP slot let me know :)

Also if you're on there and need admin assistance feel free to message me on Discord :)

Thanks for the VIP slots last night bud! I had one friend that was drunk and the other had a callout for work :)

Are they permanent or do I need to ping you again? Nice to have a vocal group when you’re playing!! Thanks again

They're permanent (for now :p)

As the community grows i'll have to reassess them at some point, but won't be for a while :)

Out of interest (And I’ve not done this since Counter Strike days) what’s a server cost? I’m 47 years young now so feels like a lifetime away
Click to expand...

It’s around £40pm, which is pretty reasonable I thought!

However I’m also paying $12pm for a VPS to run one of the community made Admin tools, which I’m having an absolute nightmare getting set up :o

Anyone well versed in Linux and stuff like that want to give me a hand haha? :cry:
