Hell Let Loose is a resource-based strategic war simulator that features open battles of up to 100 players. The massive 4km maps are divided up into large sectors allowing for emergent and constantly unique gameplay that pits two forces of 50 players in a fight to the death across fields, bridges, forests and towns on an ever-evolving front line. Maps are a combination of satellite imagery, archival aerial photography and street-level recreation.
Strategically decide how to best defeat the enemy. Defend munition depots, take out sectors in an attempt to close off and starve the enemy or concentrate on capturing fuel depots to name a few available possibilities. Every decision at every level will affect overall progress and your team's ability to survive. Using teamwork and communication, players work together in Squads beneath the leadership of Officers and the Commander. If you fight alone, you will die alone.
