I’ve seen some gameplay on the YouTubes and it looks really incredible, but I’m not too big on using mic when I’m gaming. I don’t tend to be a big talker when I’m gaming. I feel this cuts out a reasonable number of gamers which don’t like to use mic when they’re gaming.

I know for the first Hell Let Loose you pretty much need a mic to be properly engaged. In Vietnam will it be more optional or will it still be a pretty big requirement? Are the developers making this more optional or is it still being heavily hinged upon?

I do feel there should be more movement to make the game more inclusive for people that don’t want to use mic but still enjoy the game.

I'm pretty sure they used the words "first wave" somewhere. I'm guessing there's only the open beta later this month?

I received no notifications or additional information or invites. The playtest build didn't appear in staem...

Don't really understand when or if the playtest happened.. if I'm waiting for another notification.. idk.. lol

I love HLL, but I want to know what (if any) new features will be added to HLL Vietnam to make it feel different from the first one?

Hey, I was looking into this game’s trailer and it seems awesome. I’ve always wanted a Vietnam game.

I’m not sure how accurate it is or if this is something that’s already known but most English websites say 2026 as a release date so I figured I’d just mention here that 3 different game selling websites in my country’s Google first page results list 18 June 26 as the release date and are allowing a pre order at 39.99€ and one of them at 48€

Sorry if this is just already known or not true but yk, figured I’d mention given the lack of information I found in English.

The more I thought about the classic rock requests for American win, I thought about it making more sense to have the national anthem of each country? Seems to make the licensing way easier too?

Thoughts?

SUUPPERRRR excited for this game as there’s not a single large scale tactical shooter on PS5 that’s set more recently than WW2 (besides like ARMA reforger or something 🤮). I completely dropped the ball on signing up for the beta testing stuff so I wasn’t able to participate. That being said just I just wanted to throw out a few questions to the people that did participate!

-How are the helicopters?? I’ve heard mixed reviews with some saying it’s really only good for troop transport (maybe that’s the intended main function?).

-Uniforms/troop presentation! I’m really just curious on how the Vietcong look in the game bc I think they could do some really cool stuff with their uniform design.

-As far as classes go, what’s the default/“grunt” weapon? I would imagine it’s the M16 for the US and the AK for the VC but who knows. And also are the class names and details the same as HLL WW2?

-Another one I’ve been curious about are the jungles in the game. How dense are they actually? Would be so cool if you and your squad were walking through the forest and you just start taking machine gun fire from 4 different directions.

-Victory music…what songs are they using for when the team wins? (like in HLL WW2 when they play “over there” when the allies win and “Erika” when the Germans win).

Hopefully these all make sense, I don’t really know how complete the game is or beta test details so you all may not have the slightest clue on half the stuff I just asked 😂 thanks anyways though!

Edit: ok so I had just been assuming that we’d be fighting the VC in this game but never really thought to think about the NVA. Are both factions in the game? Or just one?

Obviously the NVA will be in it. Any word on the U.S. factions? Like will it be the U.S. Army on some maps, and the USMC on others?

We were told that we could drag allies on the ground. That's something that interested me, and since I wasn't able to join the beta and I haven't seen many people talking about it, I'd like to know your opinion.

Are there any bugs ? Is it really useful or just passable? And what could be improved ?

Console player here! What weapons are confirmed so far in the game? How do they feel compared to HLL? And are there attachments/variations of them? How is the TTK? We know macvsog used some unusual and distinct weapons. Will we see exotic stuff likeXM177/MP40/ Swedish K etc?

Anyone know if you’ll be able to use Keyboard & Mouse on Console with this game?

I prefer K&M but my PC is ageing like a horrible wine so my best option is to play on my series X for some stable performance.

Flying over the jungle with a full flight stick setup blastin’ fortunate son would be pretty darn dandy.

Curious on how it was to shoot. Can you actually hit targets? Or is it like the half track heavy MGs?

Are you just one big target that gets insta killed immediately? It looks like you can’t self bandage while strapped in, which kind of sucks.
