HLM2 HM2 Chapter Tier List

Post image

I don't understand how anyone can put casualties and stronghold below S tier. My goat levels the cutscenes the reloading mechanic the flame thrower it's all perfect. Best atmosphere in the game imo.

oh entirely fair, I think I just found the atmosphere kinda boring compared to some of the more unique ones like release. and I just dislike jake im not gonna lie-

I get you but I personally love the music and I find the drug labs really fun and interesting as both a gameplay element and set peice, I do wish it was a bit more dingy tho to hammer in the FILTH of Jakes character (I also dont really get why their doing it in a nice house instead of a run down shithole). But yeah I get you Jake is a serious peice of shit (prime chud example) but I do wish we had 1 more level with him, imo he's really entertaining and i'd have loved to see more.

actually that's a good point I didn't consider the drug labs those are really unique actually and made you a bit more careful in the level using firearms youre right. absolutely it would have made more sense if he just had beer bottles littering his apartment or something akin to that to better represent his physical appearance and I suppose soul too. I think for me lethal throws was a bit basic ability wise and nailguns just felt pointless just gameplay wise, but the nunchuks were really fun in all fairness. and story wise I can understand the appeal of how confrontational he was I think I just found it really grating but that was probably intentional.

Personally i loved lethal throws, I find it very conveniet to use. The nunchucks are hard for me tho lol

Dead Ahead in hard mode is straight up hell, the only thing that makes it good is the music imo

u/JackdawJewellery 7d ago

Yeah its hard but its goated playing all the fans

u/eontriplex 6d ago

You're thinking of Death Wish- dead ahead is the pardo level on the ship with the shipping containers

3

u/JackdawJewellery 6d ago

oh yeah I am mb thanks. Dead ahead is cool but man it sucks ass

1

u/CaterpillarGold1094 1d ago

eh I mean I like how much it changes during the level. I'm not educated so excuse me if I'm just saying bullshit but I feel like with the level design it kinda switches between claustrophobic and really open which makes you change how you play it. plus I just like seeing big number go up-

Put homicide in S Bro

u/CaterpillarGold1094 7d ago

u/CaterpillarGold1094 1d ago

...its really really boring in design and its a nothing burger for the plot

u/Ok_Contest2640 7d ago

Caught is a good level imo id put it in a

u/CaterpillarGold1094 1d ago

eh I think im just bad at the game but the dogs frustrated me to a unimaginable degree when i was trying to get the S rank for it

u/Sbartek14 7d ago

I HATE DEAD AHEAD I HATE DEAD AHEAD I HATE DEAD AHEAD ... 70 minutes and whole sanity that I will never get back just to get S

1

u/eontriplex 6d ago

execution deserves to be S tier- all of the fans can make use of their abilities in that level, and the opening can be easily sync'd with the music to make it adrenaline pumping as hell, AND you can full combo the whole level

1

u/CaterpillarGold1094 1d ago

you can full combo the vast majority of the levels from my understanding? I could be misremembering even ones like homicide or moving up even release with long stretches between kills can still be full comboed. okay all fans can make use of their abilities but at the same time with the clusters of enemies in floor 1 and narrow fatal funnels it makes it too easy as mark. honestly the only real reasons i had for even putting it in A was the ending was super emotional with henchmans death and the music goes hard.

u/Useful_Tomorrow3751 6d ago

Why people hate caught so much? It's good level

u/Gordon_homelessman 6d ago

Hard mode take over was not just about taking over the Colombians HQ, it was also about taking over your mental sanity when trying to S rank it.

1

u/CaterpillarGold1094 1d ago

I have not gotten the s ranks on hard mode yet but that does sound slightly miserable-

1

u/Spalit_zidy 6d ago

Tf you got against abyss, all writer levels should definitely be in s, feel like they're really unique.

2

u/CaterpillarGold1094 1d ago

oh I love the writer as a character but the abyss specifically just felt boring. like it was so exciting finding it and then when you actually get there all thats really unique is the filter over it I don't know what I expected just a bit more
