This has been my experience with hell let loose.
I want to like it more, but I have found a lot of maps and playtime just end up a meat grinder. I played a ton of Red Orchestra, but this doesn’t quite hit the spot like that did.
Squad, otoh, has never felt that way, because even when you are being over-run, you still can go back to the main spawn, grab a vehicle and make a new defensive front.
The few hours of hell let loose I have played the majority of games ended with one side just completely stuck on an objective, usually at a choke point, with no progress either way until the game times out.
