If you’re looking for a more realistic alternative to Battlefield, then you are well placed with another shooter on Steam. In a new update, this is now revising its map to one of the most famous battlefields in history.
Which shooter is being referred to? It is Hell Let Loose, the multiplayer shooter from developer Expression Games. Hell Let Loose is a military simulation and thus follows a more realistic approach than, for example, Battlefield and Call of Duty.
- Up to 100 players compete against each other simultaneously on historical battlefields.
- Gameplay aids are very limited; there is no crosshair, no hit marker, or kill confirmation.
- Teamplay and communication with squad members are crucial in Hell Let Loose. Those who rush headlong into battle will not achieve much.
- If you just want to relax and shoot a few rounds in the evening, Hell Let Loose is the wrong place – those who find Battlefield and CoD too hectic and unrealistic may find their home here.
The developers are currently working on a sequel set in the Vietnam War. The original will continue to receive updates. Update 18 even revised an entire map – which represents one of the most famous battlefields in history.

Improvements in both performance and gameplay
Which map is getting an upgrade? Stalingrad, the site of one of the most famous battles of World War II. The main goal of the developers was to improve performance to make the map accessible to players on all platforms.
In addition to improved performance, they also wanted to balance and enhance the gameplay of the map. Changes are supposed to build on the existing theme. The map should continue to retain what makes it iconic for players.
- Also included in the update is an Armor Rework. The way armor functions will be revised. Here, the developers are relying on feedback from players to improve the system in the future.
- The movement of tanks also now depends on the terrain – it makes a difference whether you are driving through mud, snow, or sand.
An overview of all changes can be found in this developer post on Steam.
Currently, you can get the game on Steam at a discount: Hell Let Loose costs €19.99 on Steam instead of €49.99. So if you don’t own Hell Let Loose yet or want to convince your friends, now is your chance. This offer is valid until October 20.
With Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, the military simulation is set to receive a sequel in 2026, which – as the name suggests – will take place in the Vietnam War. However, a more precise release date is not yet known.
