Hey everyone,
Welcome to Developer Briefing #58!
This week we're giving you a first look at a brand new map coming in Update 5, as well as sharing all the info you need to take part in tomorrow's 'Play with the Devs' session!
The Next Map - First Look!
A message from Max, Lead Developer on Hell Let Loose.
"We've spoken often about some of the gaming influences that have shaped our approach to the development of Hell Let Loose, but one that deserves more praise is the fantastic Forgotten Hope 2 mod for Battlefield 2.
In homage to the same map from FH2, we wanted to try our hand at recreating the famous Purple Heart Lane."
That's right, Purple Heart Lane will be coming to the game in Update 5!
Below we've got a few images to give you a taste of what's coming, with a more in-depth look coming next week that will include 'those' four bridges!
Before you can secure the bridges, you'll need to secure the roads.
Ready to get your boots wet?
Flooded fields are a good sign that you're closing in on the map's key objectives...
Are you ready to fight at the site of "Cole's Charge"?

The aim is to have some fun with you and chat all things Hell Let Loose for a couple of hours.
We'll be doing more events like this in the future. These events will include combined events with established clans and communities, as well as playing on different server regions such as US East / West.
If you'd like to get involved in future events we'd love to hear from you.
