Laaaaaaaaaaawls!
I quite like Post Scriptums canteen mechanic. Sprinting around isn't too bad and I think gives you more opportunity to flank. So being able to replenish your sprint at the risk of being caught with your pants down seems like a fair deal.
Are the maps bigger in HLL or are they missing the ability to create rallies, FOBs or are they missing transport vehicles?
Although I was like number 5 backer or something stupid it's the first time I'm getting a chance to play.
IIRC (the alpha was ages ago now) the FOBs were either not it game or not working so it was running sim for the weekend.
Transport vehicles were defo not in the game at that point and the map was huge.
I also think no-one really knew the game so it was a scramble.

Just had a quick 30 mins.
Having said that I love RO/RO2 and this hopefully will improve and scratch that itch until RO3 turns up!
- Performance isn't great.
- AA is awful even at high res - Very blurry.
- VOIP stopped working for my Squad after 5/10 mins then no one on the server could use VOIP before I left.
- Quite a few issues with using vehicles currently.

Just remembered this was on and played it for a bit. Much improved over the last time I tried it, but still very obviously an alpha stage game. Biggest bugbear for me is that the mouse movement still feels a bit unnatural, although nowhere near as bad as the first time I tried it earlier in the year.
Also, they need to work on the ironsights. Feels like they are too far away from the eye, very hard to use anything with a aperture sight. Try the Thompson to see what I mean; it's basically unusable.
Still, it's very early days and it's showing great promise. Definitely one to keep an eye on

It is getting there, and has come along way since the first private alpha they did for backers, but I'd still say that it is quite barebones at the moment.
The game really needs transport vehicles to be added.

I purchased it over the weekend and have been playing the most recent BETA and its a lot of fun... seemed to luck out into good squads every single round with a squad lead who knew what they were doing which is pretty rare in these types of games (when I play SQUAD maybe 1 in 10 rounds you get a competent squad lead who talks). It's pretty barebones at the moment but the gameplay is still solid. I definitely prefer it to Post Sciptum, the environments are way better and the interiors of buildings are all pretty detailed which is impressive for a game this small. They need to improve the sounds a lot though and get some better Anti Aliasing which actually works on vegetation and tree's. I didn't mind the running factor as I've spent years playing running simulators like arma etc.
Oh and the dismemberment and gore is absolutely insane in this game, ill never forget the first i saw 4 bodies get turned to mush from a grenade, limbs everywhere.

It still has no transport? Last time i played it was last year with the original alpha or whatever it was, the game was essentially a running simulator on a ludicrously sized map. Would have though by now they would have added some vehicles to make it less of a chore.
played it over the weekend thanks to a pal gifting me a beta key and it still has no transport..
HLL is releasing into eaely access today. Here is the change log. Source: https://steamcommunity.com/games/686810/announcements/

Have had £8.74 sat in my Steam wallet for months now, but don't know if I should just chuck the extra £16.25 at it now or wait and see if it gets a reduction in the upcoming Steam Summer sale.
I've played a bit of this in Alpha, Beta, and now in Early Access. The game has come along way since then, but it still has ways to go.
If I was going to sum it up quickly, I would say that it is a faster paced version of Post Scriptum with less features and mechanics. However, I do find the game better looking and runs better for me.
If I could only play one game, I would rather play Post Scriptum at this stage - but I do think that it is the perfect balanace for when I want something a bit faster.
As soon as transport vehicles have been added in, and maybe some more building dense maps have been added, I might change my mind.

Been watching some streams and this looks actually quite good. Very much in RO/Rising Storm 2 sort of vein. Might give it a go later.
Plus, its everything BF isn't!
