[@chaserivera1623]

It's so damn immersive how the gunships drop off troops and tanks and then fly away instead of just teleporting there.

These guys need to some how find a way to make this game a real deal. Contention as it's own game - some how getting Disney to let them do it - would be insane. It's such a quality mod and I would love to see it right out like how Project Reality inevitably became Squad. The only issue of course with the same pipeline is the fact it is an owned IP unlike a historical setting.

[@raifsevrence]

Dude, that jumptrooper gameplay is insane. I don't know how that manages to be so different than actual Battlefront, but it is. It has to be the elevation. You can't get that high in any of the Battlefront games. That's so cool. The sfx are phenomenal and regardless of what you say, it looks really good too. It's not AAA studio title good, but for a mod ? Bro...that's ballin.

[@Eirikur_]

This looks awesome. Would it be worth buying Squad for this?

[@Bacon.Bits.]

You'd be suprised how many do, IMO squad is overpriced so wait for sales they happen all the time. But if you get squad to play this you'll sitll have squad which is a great game on it's own. Just remember that to play GC you have to be willing to play Squad, it still needs the same effort and teamwork so if base Squad isn't for you there's a good chance you won't enjoy this for long, it gets stale quick for some people.

[@Eirikur_]

Oh yeah I'd totally play base Squad too. As you said, it's just kinda expensive so I've been putting it off, but a mod like this could almost be worth buying it for to me

What's funny is Squad was created by people who modded BF2 (Project Reality). They had managed to do something incredible with the base game. Now the Squad devs are in a reverse role in a sense, people managed to make something incredible with their game (both BF2 and Squad being solid games to begin with btw).

[@greencreekranch]

It's main advantage of over battlefront 2 is in my opinion, that it's actually a shooter. Battlefront 2 is so full jedi and sith, it doesn't really feel like a shooter anymore. And at least to me, the combat from the level of regular ish troops is more interesting than the jedi perspective. Probably because that's what we've seen less of in the star wars universe

[@melcorchancla9431]

Except Battlefront 2 is still a shooter and having 4 heroes in the lobby doesn’t change that. They got nerfed in Battlefront 2 and are very easy to take out.

I wonder if there's a squad/ARMA server which is centred around strict rules of engagement, where prisoners can be taken and is encouraged; but not absolutely necessary. Also, for example, if someone puts their weapon away (you can't drop it) then you're not allowed to shoot etc. This would be so cool as long as it is done with a light hearted sense of humour, and people aren't just kicked for seeing the Geneva conventions, as suggestions.
