I quickly came to the realization that controllers stand zero chance against mouse and keyboard (probably with aim assist as well). Matches were fun, but there just didn't seem to be any balance. I was wondering how they were locking in on me as quick as they were while I struggled to keep my ironsights on ANYTHING. I'll make one more attempt with cross platform off (Id like to keep ps5 and series x players WITHOUT the PC crowd?). Also, are there matches with aim assist disabled, and is there an option to populate the maps with bots to supplement if there aren't many players?

Just an FYI, there is no cross-play between Pc and console players. Only between Xbox and Playstation players. The number of PS players compared to Xbox maybe skewed due to HLL being a PS+ free monthly give-away. It was one of the reasons I was interested cause I'm aware of your concerns. Not sure if HLL is on Game Pass however.

I've heard of it and noticed how positive the reviews have been. Thanks for the heads up and may look into it.


Also wanted to add that pc players has been growing lately with HLL

No CB it doesn't. Strictly 50 vs 50 platoon base online where players communicate in a ultra-realistic FPS.

They have a roadmap which includes something like 'scenarios' it's not clear if that will be single player or not (probably not).

I must say that I keep coming back to this and choose it most nights Im' gaming. I don't really communicate much but people don't seem to mind as I'm either doing what the commander/team lead asks or at least helping the team.

I think they should add some type of proximity ping - they have chat like that OR squad-based and you can choose on the fly, but for peopel like me that don't like to socialize online with random's I'd rather just generically communicate stuff like 'enemies spotted' etc.

looking at the roadmap, there is a lot of cool stuff coming though.

Sheesh lol. That means I just suck at it then (or maybe I should just turn aim assist on like everyone else!!)
