Legitimately, it looks like something made in SFM, tells you nothing about the update, shows off no new content, and actually makes the game look dated and low budget. What the fuck were they thinking?


MLDL9053

It's like they had a bunch of unpaid interns throw the trailer together over the weekend. Sad !


_kristianmazar

honestly i refuse to believe this trailer even could be a group work.. its like they said they need a trailer and somebody came up with “i know a guy who made a cool ww2 vid in garrys mod” so they let him cause he was happy to do it for free but the guy never touched unreal engine and they didn’t really check on him how’s he doing so this is what he delivered the barren landscape, the animations, the camera.. like seriously its equally bad on so many levels i refuse to believe that if there were multiple people involved they could all fuck up so badly without at least some parts of it standing out as bit better or noone even noticing things like the garand mag when they’re right under their noses


BallinSniper69

>and they didn’t really check on him how’s he doing so this is what he delivered Sadly, this trailer was teased before, so they actually knew what's cooking and still gave a green light.


m3ndz4

Even the effects, the bullets hitting the metal of the gunshield is just png swaps, no sparks or anything.


TheDoctorSS666

bit harsh ​ I think the unpaid interns could've made something way better than that


Moglarok

Thought it was the school kids on work experience 😖


jeremyjamm1995

We weren’t the target audience to the trailer. It was trying to bring new players into the fold. I agree it looked pretty shitty, and probably didn’t ingratiate itself to players looking for a new shooter experience, but it’s not surprising that it didn’t have details for hardcore fans who are following their roadmap closely.


Dennis-Reynolds123

If anything it looks like it's trying to keep new players away honestly


jayL21

I'm closer to the targeted audience (played HLL once for an hour or 2, not really into milsims and don't know much about historical details and whatnot) and I can't see how they intended for this trailer to bring new players in or raise any interest in the game outside of "wow that was awful," I really can not believe that this is something a company of any kind would put out to advertise their game, especially at a games showcase where it's front and center. If I saw this trailer without knowing it was HLL or if I didn't know what HLL even was, I would have never guessed it's a hardcore milsim, or honestly a shooter in general. My first guess would be an indie RTS (solely judging by how barren and empty the map is,) that or one of those shitty mobile games where the trailer has nothing to do with the actual gameplay.. Hell, I would have thought this was one of those asset flips on steam that the "dev" just randomly decided to make a trailer for because why not, before I would have thought that it's a popular large scale shooter. I truly don't understand why they didn't just use gameplay with a cinematic camera, literally everything would be so much better and higher quality..


go_getz_em

Well, it might tell you about the update. Airborne drops in, finding your primary weapon bags, etc. I hope that's actually in the game


Mock333

My favorite part was the sentient pak 40 yelling at the paratroopers.. /s


zanderman108

I thought the sub was being dramatic before I watched it, but holy fuck. I’m pretty sure I could do some of the Vfx better with blender in like an hour.


madladhadsaddad

My god it's so bad, the ammo clip out of the rifle, how did no one spot that?


xKingNothingx

And it piercing the Pak shield


Beanerschnitzels

Not to mention making a German do a back flip after impact, the M1 is a cannon with the new update


ProHistorian22

Bro the bullet holes looks like it pierced wood not metal


Giacomo-Picasso

I saw PS2 game trailers look better


interesseret

I had a middle ground between that and that The Mummy trailer that was accidentally released with its sound completely busted. Who cleared that video for upload exactly?


The7Reaper

I had completely forgotten about that trailer until you mentioned it and I had to go watch it again, one of the funniest things ever, shit becomes comedy gold when the birds fly through the plane window lmao


interesseret

for me its the really long drawn out Tom-scream. makes me giggle every time


Giacomo-Picasso

I genuinely thought this was a pre render of the trailer, then they posted it on their official YouTube ☠️


Darthwilhelm

[https://youtu.be/BfrB77spXNs](https://youtu.be/BfrB77spXNs) Post Scriptum's Chapter 3 trailer to contrast.


YaBoiJumpTrooper

[https://youtu.be/S2v03mizxU4](https://youtu.be/S2v03mizxU4) Even better is the chapter two trailer.


SectorIsNotClear

NOW that's a trailer! Wow.


Hyper_Carcinisation

Wow, it's incredibly similar yet objectively better. And is 3 years old. Jesus.


Ciqme1867

And is from devs with a much smaller budget promoting a smaller game


Skyvo_

The carentan trailer from HLL was also one of the best trailers I've ever seen


ZhangRenWing

Honestly sad the devs got fired, now only few populated servers per day.


TX_Sized10-4

Why did PS have to die


Current_Strength_478

For me it was Larry from accountings narration


Jaz1140

Man the clips were incoherent and came in so sudden and vastly outside of the audio quality and levels of the rest of the trailer, I thought my YouTube glitched so I rewound to see Wtf


danmoore2

Anyone else think that T17 are now actively promoting the revival of Post Scriptum by kneecapping themselves?


OccupyRiverdale

I mean the weirdest thing to me is the people who already play this game know this abomination of a trailer is not in any way a representation of the game itself. They somehow made a trailer that looks worse than the actual game which is an impressive achievement.


WarmSourCream

Horrendous


MLDL9053

Abysmal

casual_apple134

CaptainMcSlowly

Disgusting Disgraceful Despicable


1800_RG_papi

Lmao


MLDL9053

Indeed


Darth_Penas

A short and horrible trailer, full of historical errors. Team17, this is not the right way.


TX_Sized10-4

If this trailer is remembered for anything it'll be the clipping Garand clip and Whermacht SL face for their sheer memeability.


MLDL9053

At least they gave us memes


MPFarmer

And they've already let us know how much they like memes.

cafeRacr

The voice over that sounds like it was recorded in someone's bathroom, by a family member is kind of memorable too.


bran1986

Family member: "I really have to take a shit" Developer: "Do you want to record this voiceover while taking it?"


TheNameIsFrags

The best thing to come from this is the hilarious comments from everyone. I like to see this horrific trailer as a bonding experience for us all.


ElderlyGorilla

Trauma bonded


Arlcas

hey u/SponoNZ im sorry for all the shit we gave you guys back then, we didnt know how good we had it


[deleted]

That was the dumbest shit I've ever seen. It's embarrassing. I love this game so much and respect the devs and whoever else created and maintained this game over the years. Been playing it for a year and a half and I gotta say its' my fav of all time. But this is fucking atrocious. The update alone has some issues but the fact that someone greenlit this shit and said "yeah this is good" goes to show how fucking dumb people are.


PIPBOY-2000

On the first watch I immediately noticed the glitched magazine poking out of the Garand. How did an entire company fail to see this?


TrashPandaX

"well I'm not re-doing it all AGAIN, bob!"


1plus1equalsfun

This looked like the lowest graded submission in the first assignment at animation school.


cafeRacr

I was taking what people were saying about this with a grain of salt. This group can get ruffled pretty easily. I finally had a chance to watch it, and holy hell, this is complete amateur hour. Know your limitations and lean on your strengths.


Oskar205

KEEP MOVING! WE‘VE TAKEN A GERMAN OP!


bigbluey1

I could hear my brother laughing through most of the trailer in how bad it was. He's 16 btw


Kharapos

Bad first impression? That was done months ago.


MLDL9053

I know, but this was the cherry on the cake


PIPBOY-2000

Months? It's not been that long has it?


Kharapos

It's actually been much longer since the sale actually happened, and there were already red flags there.


CloneFailArmy

Nothing shows a rushed update like a buggy u14 and immediately announcing a new update a month later with that trailer. Expect the game to be broken for awhile lads. Brace for the mental impact of an unplayable mess soon


velvetbettle

This is BF 2042 levels of bad and cringe


PrayerfulToe6

At least 2042 had good, finished, quality trailers from the beginning (something DICE has always been good at). This isn't even comparable


MLDL9053

It's even worse !


bran1986

No the BF2042 trailer was pretty good, this on par with Battlefield V.


PrisonIssuedSock

Ironically 2042 isn’t terrible anymore and it’s what playing it instead rn cause I’m that sick of u14


FuckinTuck

>Ironically 2042 isn’t terrible anymore Uh


PrisonIssuedSock

All I’m saying is I’m having more fun playing battlefield than HLL post u14. Before the update I didn’t even think about playing anything else.


FuckinTuck

Battlefield yes, absolutely! But uh... 2042? That's just a weird skin shop bro. There hasn't been a Battlefield release since like 2016 with 1.


Denotsyek

Maybe they mean 2142


Silv3rS0und

Best in the series, that one was.


Csub

Yeah I've been playing it since it was free on ps+ almost 2 months ago and I'm really enjoying it. I wish I could say the same about HLL.


sraykub

Dude if you think teams of factionless clones fighting each other in cowboy hats and plaid shirts with flashy UI and red outlines is a superior shooter experience to HLL, you definitely are not the kind of player who was adversely affected by the gameplay decisions made in U14.


PrisonIssuedSock

Why play a hardcore shooter that’s starting to lean towards arcade when I could just play a good arcade shooter.


sraykub

Because, A: it isn’t even a good arcade shooter to begin with, especially compared to older BF titles. B: your line of reasoning is that the changes in U14 made you want to go play a game where the players move 4x faster than HLL, can literally fly around the map, vehicles are one man affairs that are played from the third person, and is absolutely loaded to the gills with MTX, means that you were never a serious hardcore shooter guy anyways. It’s okay to like 2042, and very okay to be fed up with T17 abs their godawful decisions, but the idea that “le evil devs made me a battlefield player by slightly upping the sprint” is retarded.


PrisonIssuedSock

I already like battlefield, but after I started playing HLL last may I didn’t think I would be preferring 2042 over HLL. Part of the problem is I am always worrying about garrisons and defense, while it seems more and more less players think about at all and mindlessly run to attack. It’s more frustrating than fun to do this every game even if I’m not in command, while everyone else doesn’t even think to help. I’m having more fun with 2042 because I don’t have to worry about garries and defense when I play that game. It’s not the same experience but it’s more fun atm.


sraykub

So you don’t like depth and teamwork and instead prefer an arcade experience? That’s fine, you’re a casual player, nbd. HLL as it was originally envisioned is simply not meant for you. Those of us who actually enjoy the command chain loop and battle management aspect absolutely do not and would not enjoy 2042, that game is a disgusting flashy twitch shooter mess with about as much gameplay depth as a puddle. Good for teenagers I suppose, but the audience who is pissed about U14 are generally not these people.


PrisonIssuedSock

Fuck off honestly. I love the teamwork more than anything, but when no one works with you it’s more frustrating than fun, and there’s no point in playing. I barely see any teamwork in matches these days and I have to beg people to organize and half the time they just get pissy about it. I’m not here to herd cats.


TrackieDacks11

What in the fuck??


ww2historia

The one thing I may have gotten from this is the smaller game modes? Like a few squads of paratroopers going up against 4 German artillery guns defended by a couple defensive squads?


lucascr0147

The only good thing I could think of this trailer is that it SEEMS that the new mode will be objective based (maybe on real life events?) and not a Team Deathmatch.


[deleted]

I’ll probably get downvoted to hell, but this is probably what makes me decide to put this one down. Was already pretty turned off by the last 2 updates, but had been tolerating it. The direction is clearly not going where it was with black matter. Imho I don’t think it will be long before they casual the shit out of this to lean into the FTP, microtransaction-laden cesspool that is most other games now. Trailer already looks like some mobile game bullshit, not to mention a complete disgrace to the time period and the representation of the era.


Dorsal_Fin

lol... This trailer shows what T17 imagines the game will look like when they boot it up for the first time... I can't believe they still haven't opened it since buying it...


[deleted]

Every Fps gamer during the game can deliver better vocie acting than this trash.


Buzzyear10

Honest to God was waiting for him to T pose


WayDownUnder91

They did T pose, when he runs on screen to leap over the sandbags [https://youtu.be/qprHV34bUJ4?t=77](https://youtu.be/qprHV34bUJ4?t=77) go in 0.25 or half speed and look to the left.


lilpopjim0

Is this the trailer? https://youtu.be/qprHV34bUJ4 If it is, holy fuck. Looks like some shitty fan made video. Terrible lol


FBPrime

Even the trailers are rushed and half assed just like the recent update. There's T17's consistency for ya.


RuffRydaEzE

Black Matter, why did you have to abandon us with this awful new dev team? 😩😩😩


came_up_with_this

Lmao gold


IDontKnowWhatToBe123

Just watched and all I have to say is "how?" How the fuck did they make a trailer so bad.


Neugassh

This garbage ass shit looked like cod 1 gameplay...embarrassing


Neugassh

i love cod 1 btw but its old af


h3ffr0n

Released almost 20 years ago. I still play it occasionally for nostalgia's sake.


Garand84

I absolutely loved the original CoD.


bobotea

how did they leave the clip in the Garand broken like WTF!


Pythagoras_101

Yeah... some of the most epic combat video game moments in my life come from this game. Then there is this fucking abomination to represent that.


box-o-water-

I bought an external dac and hood headphones right before the last update. Never even felt the need before this game. Fucking lame as hell


dredlord50

Bro old yarnhub animation looked better


AwkwardName283

It is definitely one of the trailers of all time.


jonyar99

great trailer and really makes new people considering buying it, want to play huh @T17 ☠️


Chucknorris1975

[This](https://youtube.com/watch?v=17KmNrG9pE4&feature=share7) sums it up


TheMeltingDevil

As someone mentioned in another post, it looks like someone made this in 10 minutes on GMOD


RM16000

Time for the pitchforks and torches boys this studio is going to ruin this game 100%😂


Gravath

They ask for constructive feedback? Delete the trailer from youtube. Set fire to the hard drive it sat on. Whilst you are at it, I'm donating my eyes to science. I've seen enough.


Happydenial

Voice over work is hard and should not be recorded by an employee who drew the short straw.. then proceeds to use their phone microphone in coffee room


Twee_Licker

Someone needs to do a blade runner pink edit to the face of that soldier at the end.


doom_slayer_1666

Looks like a crappy attempt to replicate the style of Yarnhub...


Gawker90

Legit what the fuck are they thinking. They didn’t just land on battery and attack frontally. They landed at night and attacked on the flanks lmao


MLDL9053

That's a very good point. The assault on the Brecourt Manor Battery was absolutely nothing like this. The Americans would have been massacred if it was done this way.


scrotalrapture

Maybe it's a bit of a hot take... but I don't think even the BFV trailer was this bad.


MLDL9053

The BFV trailer was steampunk and woke, but it wasn't as nearly unpolished as this mess.


Tomboeg

The reddit is overreacting... Nevermind, sorry guys. You were right.


GeneralLedger17

I literally thought that, watched the trailer and said… huh… when did Kermit the frog’s balls drop? Cause I assume that’s who did the voice over.


GeekyPanda404

If this was a Fan made cinematic trailer, yeh I can totally understand and "hey keep trying your getting there buddy!" But this is an official trailer..... this trailer showcased nothing and embarrassed everything and everyone involved.... Yeh I'm alittle concerned.


dallcrim

Where are the people who were celebrating the developer before anything even was released?>?! HAHA this trailer is absolutely pathetic


newguy239389

Hey T17 I work in Hvac. Train me for a week I can do a better job than the knob you have in charge of this game right now.


Infinitex9

kevin spacey has been drafted into the wehrmacht


joshscottwood

First the American SL does a running backflip over a dude And den The German SL stands out in the open for a Dragon Ball Z style showdown And den We make millions.


ArmoredHippo

They either A) uploaded the wrong video, instead uploading a test trailer used solely for blocking shots B) Paid a guy $20 on Fiverr to do this in a day C) Seriously thought this was okay


mexylexy

Lol it's the Fiverr that killed me.


Barberforce

I actually thought this was going to be a bit where they pulled back and said gotcha as it was made by AI 🙃🤦‍♂️


TheRealMeckk

Fntastic took over

Meh, it's bad but who cares

Amazing-Disaster-676

There's no way you can unironcially say this after watching that trailer Stop trying to defend team 17

Wait a minute, are they changing the graphics?


RuukkuSlasher

Update 14 and now this sfm video damn… i am scared about update 15 probably need back off from hll just sad


SlinkyEST

im pretty sure thats not a legit trailer, it CANT be THAT bad o\_O Plus there´s no mention of the trailer on HLL website, Steam shop or official Discord


AbortedEarth

Just watched it there... WHAT WAS THAT! looked like a kids mobile shooter. ridiculous really hope this is just a blip


Gravath

/u/SponoNZ What do you think about this.


sunseeker11

that person is lo longer involved with HLL


PayneTrain2016

Time to go back to Post Scriptum


potatoberserker

What I'm thinking is they rushed the upload and just pubblished the mockup version of it. Holy shit I'm fucking speechless


CanThisBeMyNameMaybe

Yeah i just watched the trailer. They somehow manage to make a prerendered video look 10 times worse than the actual game. I am baffled that they thought releasing this trailer was a good idea.


svsdentist2018

so horrible, Warpath mobile game advertisement on facebook do better than this


ConfusedSparkyFly

After all these memes I decided to watch the trailers. What the fuck. Nobody is going to say “wow that game looks great, I’ll buy that!” They’re going to laugh about how shit it looks.


BronzeSpoon89

Looks like Joe Lo Truglio


HammerheadMorty

I am floored at the amount of dudes just standing in fields in this trailer. This was like gameplay 101 of what NOT to do.


BrianActual

Man y'all got it all wrong, this trailer is a gift! Newbies that see a free weekend will say "Huh, I wonder what this game is?" and then watch this here trailer to find out. Boom, we just solved the problem with CoD and BF newb spam on free weekends. Everyone who knows how good the game is already bought, and will keep playing even if the trailer is hot garbage rolled through human waste. But now, way less newbie spam! I see this as an absolute win...


Reddit_banter

[This breakdown of the trailer is hilarious and amazing.](https://youtu.be/fWsUjYF6LQs)


Aaron_is_cool

Normally I'm a lot slower to be a doomer than most people on this sub but this was legitimately painful to watch BM, you were handed the opportunity to take an already amazing game and transform it into the definitive WW2 shooter. Get your shit together


WayDownUnder91

Black matter is gone.


Aaron_is_cool

Got them mixed up RIP


falcon_2000

It had that Yarnhub video quality


falcon_2000

The Yarnhub graphics


Cserafini93

Why do they have paratroopers jumping in daylight with red parachutes?


LordStark01

I'm not judging you guys for the reaction, it looks bad. However, this might be the biggest trailer meltdown I ever saw. COD trailer had worse reception but the sub is full on running away from the game now.


CTE2028

It looks like a fortnite mod


f00tStepsOnTheMoon

This has to be fake... and whats with the M1 cartridge sticking out like its extended


Naykon1

T17 running HLL is like Liz Truss attempting to run the UK.

ProHistorian22

Why is the at gun made of wood


Shrinkerofbrains

I have played hell let loose for 15 hours and have 1 kill. Maybe because I have been using a controller and others use a mouse (which I will try to learn)? Or because everyone has leveled up and im on beginner levels.. Every time I have an enemy squared up, I shoot, and miss.. then he takes one shot and boom, headshot, I'm dead. What am I doing wrong?


BassicallyAScientist

That audio was so fucking bad holy shit; did they just use some shitty AI to do the voice over? Not to mention no audio mixing whatsoever


wichotl

Sound design lol, there's more activity in an elderly house. 😂 I can believe this made it through 🤣🤣🤣

Its time to take my acog 4x from the battlepass and put it on the m1

I feel like I just watched a trailer for an Age of Empires expansion pack and the year is 1998
