Do you like Squad? Like WWII? Look no further

[BlitzPuppet]

Now I don't post here much anymore, but I did want to share a game I'm getting pretty excited about.

Hell Let Loose is basically Squad in a WWII timeframe. Being a huge WWII fanboy I thought I'd throw it out there for others to take a look at if interested.

It definitely has more depth than the upcoming COD WWII game.

looks interesting, looks alot like ARMA just in a real setting not a made up setting.

So, Planetside 2 in WW2? I don't see it lasting too long as the market is already flooded with WW2 games and by the time this game is released, everyone will already be tired of seeing WW2.

Hard to say, most are arcade/action style shooters, this one seems to be more focused on realism with real time appropriate weapons and locations, and hopefully real physics as well.

How about they put up some money and make the game and then when it gets good reviews I'll buy it.

They essentially did, from reading their kickstarter they are going about this in a very smart manner IMO. Unlike most companies which go to kickstarter to make the game these guys made the game first, then just went to kickstarter to speed it up.

from their kickstarter page:

"
I’m tired of big promises that are never fulfilled. Will this game ever see release?
We feel the crowdfunding fatigue as much as you do. As backers of several enormous and ambitious projects that never lived up to the hype, we decided that we would only begin our Kickstarter campaign once we had a playable client from end to end. That means launching the application, connecting to a server and actually playing the game at an Alpha level of quality. We’re thrilled that we can do all those things, and that all funds from this Kickstarter will go towards fleshing out and widening the scope of what we feel is already a deep experience."

So essentially these guys are already ahead of Star Citizen and alot of kickstarter games as they have a playable alpha already.

star citizen has a 3.0 alpha. As I said go raise private money and come see me when you have great reviews and a final game.

Think old Battlefield 2, which was an amazing game, throw in a little bit of Company of Heroes 2, and a "campaign" where every match win/loss has a meaning.

When you say Planetside 2 I think of huge planets (maps) with player flown drop ships, Freemium game play, and no real resources management that I can remember.

Two completely different games. I for one played the hell out of Red Orchestra 2, and this game seems to offer some of the things that would have been amazing to add to RO2.

I think it'll do well.
