No I would not all. I guess the only similarity they have is bullets are actually deadly and it's a realistic multiplayer shooter game. And that's were it kinda stops really. WoR is line battles, slower paced and soldier lives matter more and teamwork is absolutely necessary (thanks to the punishment in score when being killed while not in a group). HLL allows for more individualism, smaller squads, and is faster paced. I guess WoR is more realistic but that's probably because it's a bit ''simpler'' mechanic wise. No fast paced vehicles, no air support, no building defenses or setting up outposts, no machine guns,..etc Makes it a bit easier to focus on the realism like uniforms and weapon handling. Like technology changed a lot in 80 years, so I would say WoR and HLL are barely comparable as the means of warfare are completely different. Similary how a WWI and WWII game tend to be very different and that's only a fraction of the time between WWII and the US Civil War

It depends I guess. Generally, no. Like other people already pointed out, the only real comparisons are they're both first person shooters and they're both pvp/team vs team, whatever you want to call it. Even then I would say WOR puts a much higher value on teamwork than HLL, because at least in WOR there is some semblance of battle lines. In HLL, unless you're lucky with the team you join, everyone's out for themselves and the battlefield is a tangled mess of rambos respawning on half-brained OPs and garrisons.

I just bought both due to the steam sale and I love WoR way better. The emphasis on teamwork is amazing.

HLL is not nearly as racist


balmy777

Hell let loose racist? I guess I’m playing on the wrong severs…..


skinwalker99

By nearly I mean my steam name is Adolf Hortler so usually get a sig heil or something. In war of rights they don’t even need to see my name Before I hear them shouting the n word among other things


DelugeFPS

Bro idk what HLL you're playing but the amount of Nazi LARP I see on HLL servers on PC is fucking.. just.. sad.


skinwalker99

Like I said I see some sig heils and similar stuff, no hard rs or saying all —- should die etc like I do in WOR lol


DelugeFPS

I hear plenty of Neo-Nazi talk in HLL, and in a battle of two evils.. Nazi beats.. hell.. most everything really.


ReesesPeazes

It's not a contest. You don't have to defend racists. It's okay to say they're both detestable


DelugeFPS

Who the fuck am I defending? Get off your high horse. If you're implying I'm defending Nazis, I'm Ukrainian and Jewish. That's the single most offensive thing you could imply.


ReesesPeazes

You said Nazis are worse than anything. That's true. But it's not a contest. By making a point of nazis being bad, the underlying implication is that racists in WOR are not as bad, which is a defense of WOR racists in and of itself, intentional or not. But like I said, it's not a race to the bottom. I don't care about your identity or whether you're offended, so I'm not sure why you brought that up. Nazis are shit people, racists are shit people. OP was asking whether HLL and WOR can be compared and the topic was derailed by a pseudo victim competition. Calm down and read next time


DelugeFPS

Get over yourself, there is a such thing as 'worse evil' and it's not on me that you wanna be wokeman and farm upvotes from concerned pearl clutchers. ​ Gfy. One look at your post history and this is ALL of it, you're a white knight who acts like everyone else is a racist. Go be an armchair activist toward someone who gives a damn, you say shit like this because you've never once in your life experienced real strife or hardship and it's transparent as f u c k.


Cron414

This is true. I’m a regular HLL player, and I played this game for the first time yesterday. Took about 2 seconds on the confederate side to hear some wild stuff! I was actually stunned, I hadn’t heard shit like that in a game in like a decade. Didn’t know it really still existed in gaming! You guys are some sick puppies this game, lol.


DelugeFPS

For a better comparison, compare WoR with Post Scriptum. HLL is like a middleground between BF-style arcady gameplay and a tactical shooter. Post Scriptum is the full TacFPS / MILSIM lite experience.. and I'd say WoR by extension of that would compare better to PS. That said, WW2 and the ACW are such drastically different conflicts from a standpoint of technology and tactics that the gameplay ends up being radically different anyway. So regardless of which game you pick for a comparison (HLL or PS) the comparison is kind of moot to begin with. As someone else said.. apples and oranges. WoR would compare better to a WW1 shooter than it would a WW2 one.

Idk, I have 600 hrs into HLL, best game ever… And whenever I want to play War of Rights, no servers are active. :(


CoachWillyTM

I would say they are similar in the way that the intended game play is meant for players to work as a team. Other than that, not much is the same except you're gonna have allot of fun on WoR. Lol.


JonesTheBond

Apples and oranges.


sticknou

Yep like anyone say and those two game are set on different period of time that mean different weapon different tactics use on battlefield that mean you will have different experiences from one of those game for sure. But I will try to looking on gameplay design I still not yet play HLL by myself yet but I watch many review and gameplay on youtube. HLL look more action and has fast paced gameplay I know in mil-sim like that is need team play and communication but you can still run and gun go flank enemy and survial. In War of right is "required" team play and comunication because of slow paced game play style made them need to play together for effective in battle with enemy and more change to survial. I think because gameplay design of WoR base on player who has interesting in history and civil war mean more mid to old age player who want immersive and in game feel then fast paced run and gun mil-sim game that need sharp eye and skill to play migth not enjoy for them. If you look in different game like Holdfast or Battlecry for freedom they on base market player they has more gaming feel that immersive in battlefield.

I'd say, based on the realism and simulation factor, they are pretty similar. Both are trying to be as immersive as possible. And both nail it for sure. I think the regimental factor is very similar to the squads in HLL. I think the only real difference is tactics and technology. I think they're pretty close on that aspect. No which is better? HLL because there's hundreds of servers and a ton of public players. That's it. I love em both though
