Hell Let Loose for PC is a first-person multiplayer shooter game set during the Second World War. The game specialises in hundred player battles but it is not you against ninety-nine ferocious others. Instead, you are sorted into units of six soldiers each, and all the various units (about eight per side) are divided into two teams.

The game map is divided into various sectors, and each unit of six, under the control of a designated leader, must try to capture more of the map than the other team. There are two ways to play: in warfare mode you win by claiming the whole map by beating the other side off every sector, or by possessing more than half of the sectors by the time the timer runs out.

In this game, communication is absolutely key, especially as you are playing with strangers who may or may not decide to obey orders! There are various ways to communicate with proximity mics for yelling at people who are close to you, unit-only mics through which you get your orders and can communicate with your unit leader, as well as network which allows unit leaders to liaise with each other and with their own higher-ups. As well as this, there is a more informal text chat system.
