HLL is one of the best games in my library, and maybe the only game that I keep coming back to. I've had tons of matches with great people in my squad, and especially when everyone uses their mic the teamwork is very rewarding. You can greatly help eachother just by communicating, and for me as a non-native English speaker, it is a great tool for practicing my English too. And to anyone that might be intimidated by the voicechat aspect of the game; I was too in the beginning, but you just have to do it and once you get used to it and the mechanics of the game you will start to really appreciate that part of the game.

The game itself has its flaws, mostly small bugs but to me that does not make it any less enjoyable.

It used to be such a great game, I played it hours on end, but the last 6 years have just been horrible and anytime I start the game I just end up closing it again after 10 minutes. Valve for the love of god, PLEASE fix the bots/hackers problem so we can finally enjoy this perfect game again and leave positive reviews.

PS. I own many items in this game that I have paid for with actual money, and it all feels kinda worthless now. So thanks for that too.

I love it and I became a real pro at it
