The Marine digging the radio up within kissing distance of the Russian digging it down is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in Squad

yeah laughed my ass off, they just straight out were gonna marry each other, and do some sassy baka buisness by that radio but nah they broke up in the end haha

[@thefrogstronaut]

I love to see armored personnel carriers work with infantry so well. Too many armor players use LAVs and similar vehicles as tanks when they should be hot dropping infantry.

[@evananderson1455]

Amen. Theres a God damn reason they can hold so much infantry, yet everyone wants to play World of Tanks with them, forcing the infantry to be slow and vulnerable on foot. Its so fucking frustrating.

[@AndreiHedstrom]

If more LAV drivers were committed like logi drivers it would be a different game for sure.

[@thefrogstronaut]

@@AndreiHedstrom right? This is also why I think they need to add light attack helis, not because they’d be great for balance but because it’d incentivize people to learn how to fly well.

[@Scriptum.]

LAVs are best suited for drive-by situations. A LAT can perfectly set up a kill by engining a BTR, have it called out to the LAV, then they swoop in for the kill and dip back out again. In terms of infantry carrying, just use them for rally movement, not for ferrying from point to point hot drops. LAVs are very quiet so perfect for that kind of work. Using LAVs like tanks, ie keeping distance and not engaging on points until enemy armor is dead, is good. It’s the most survivable way to play instead of wasting ticks for your team and giving up armor advantage.

[@williamrobinson5859]

@@Scriptum.mostly agree, but they have their uses in invasion like rushing first cap or following up on arty especially if u use them across multiple squads

[@adriannn1180]

This was truly one of the best Eye in the Skies EVER...! The jinxes, the amphibious assaults, one of the Best Casual Squad being Squad moments fighting for that radio, good inf & armor play, both stupid and good arties, big turn with 5% left of the cap for the Marines... and just so much more. Truly amazing, i never thought a game could be this good on this layer! 10/10 match, all impressive, stupid, funny moments all throughout it!

[@AndreiHedstrom]

You guys killed it. I was in sqd 6 and our sl rocked. It was cool hearing you guys work together.

[@ianbuchanan02]

@@AndreiHedstrom I was squad 2 LAV 😁

[@AndreiHedstrom]

Dude you were an excellent combat Uber. So much fun. Thanks for the ride!

[@AndreiHedstrom]

That was absolutely one of my favorite rounds to medic in and my first time playing that map - loved it. Both teams played hard and there was great communication going the whole time. I'm so glad you caught this one @moidawg - it was fun to relive it and to hear command chat. I hope to see this map in the rotation for TPF. IDEA and THANKS: Getting into Squad was easy because of how committed you are to educating new players as well as because of these videos. I have fallen in love with playing medic and have a great admiration for many of the great medics in TPF. There are different styles and subtleties that allow players to express themselves in the role. I have learned that a medic (or any other role) can be a significant differentiator in a game when you have a skilled player really engaged and supporting the team. I thought it would be interesting to see you do an Eye in the Sky that is more focused on a role - (of course I would love your first one to be about medics) where you and maybe a medic you have played with a lot, point out styles and techniques that work best. For example, a timely dismount for a medic can save a whole squad when their vehicle is attacked or what roles a medic revives first in various situations can change the outcome. Or in my case - how well I do at controlling myself from pushing too far into the fight - i love a game where I not only have epic revives but some serious headcounts too! Given that the TPF has such a great set of regulars you might engage the community to have them nominate players who crush specific roles and ask them specifically to join the session. Like Jamsheed on armor, hammer on medic, Joker the Silent as SL, Toxic Taco building superfobs, etc. As much as it is exciting to see my own name for the first time on one of your eye in the sky's - I really love seeing the plays made by players I have experienced as welcoming and highly skilled members of the community. I love seeing them get a little limelight - it makes me want to play! Thanks for all you and the TPF team do for this community. Peace and Good Things, Driving Socrates

[@jasonkent7858]

You know what? I love this. I don't watch sports and I don't play Squad, but somehow treating it like a sportscast is awesome to me. I put it on the bigscreen, sit on the couch with a drink and a snack (just as you suggest!), and just let it unfold. If I were to ask for anything, it would be maybe clean up the closed captioning a little, and possibly print what the acronyms mean the first time you use them, but other than that I think you've really hit your stride with this, and would love to see you collaborate on one of these with Karmakut, you'd make an amazing pair! Now let's have some MOAR! 🥤😃🍿

[@Marteeen261]

yeah you need to make a clip of the firefight at 46:00 that was just too good

[@evananderson1455]

Underrated comment.. that firefight was fuckin beautiful

[@AndreiHedstrom]

yeah that was hilarious!

[@gmka3920]

Fuck I had tears in my eyes when they shoveled

2500 hours in squad and I have NEVER seen 47:45 happen before.

Same 1000+

[@NotBosin]

ayo thats me in the video 0_0 47:34 yea i do have allot of hours and plenty of mess ups, though always having a blast playing the game.

[@SHINYREDBULLETS]

Can't believe how entertaining this was. The ebb and flow of the battle was sooo good to watch. The little moments (like the 2 enemies shovelling next to each other, ahhahhaa WTF!) here and there that you caught really made it special. This map was fokkin amazing, would enjoy seeing a remake with pacific-style foliage so i can relive my Vietnam fantasies. Fantastic! :D

[@praporbarton3961]

It's just a certified Squad experience. Armor acting as a critical asset and executing coordinated mechanised infantry push and at the same time being an absolute ticket sink and a major contributor to the team's defeat.

[@Doug.Dimmadome]

As someone who has played this for 1000+ hours, this is VERY interesting to watch for strategy / randomness purposes. Fantastic commentary, Moi

[@ViperDriver22]

I wish the tools to record combat from Novalogic Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising 2004 was around because it was like this on the Orange Bowl servers, 128 palyers most of the time. Big maps, more spec ops type self deployment, firefights galore; in-game taunting was soo cool. Thanks MoiDawg for another good Eye in the Sky!!

[@grrfy]

joint ops was an awesome game.

[@Fr1tz_01]

This was as good as I had hoped. It's just too bad we (the US) fell flat on our damn faces after that Arty strike. We had 176 tickets and damn near every person felt like we had lost... so unfortunate! Great Casting as always Moi, there were A LOT of good Firefights on the points this game!

[@ziplockbag3243]

i love the SL who says "whats gonna shoot us? mark it."

[@mobiousbr]

This was the most amazing Eye In the Sky I've ever seen, and I've seen them all. I guess a combination of map and strategy was awesome on this one, only problem was the Marine Commander rage quit which always takes a toll on the game. Wish I get to play this layer one day. Also, I've played with this same commander, he is trash and always, always mic spams, to the point I had to leave the squad, and eventually quit next game when I became SL, because he always picks SL, goes for Commander, and keeps spamming Local, Squad and sometimes Command Chat, it is simply impossible to play with him. I always mute these kind of players, but he makes it the biggest inconvenience to do so. Tbh, rage quitting is completely likely of somebody that does this.

[@Reivbv]

This game was the best game of Invasion I've ever played, the map was awesome! I was Rei in the BRDM hehe.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

The initial convoy ambush was so cool although too small for the Russians to really do much damage. Meanwhile that combined arms assault on the super FOB was epic and very well coordinated while the Russian response was lackluster and poor. Its also important the USMC team secured the surround areas prior to a artillery and 40mm barrage then LAVs suppressing whatever is left with dismounts clearing the area. Perfectly executed. The fight over the radio was just hilarious from start to finish. a hot drop right in front a a BTR that did nothing... to two enemies digging the radio together. Too funny. Holy hell that assault on the final point by the USMC was so well done but that Russian comeback! Was excellent. Its sad to see how morale just plummets and it seals the deal. Morale is so important. But seeing how there are these mini-objectives around recovering that LAV was awesome. Its not some game objective but due to circumstances it becomes one organically. Also a AAV defeating a BMP is just wild. The USMC put up a good fight and went out blazing. The Russians really did well right when it mattered.

[@Atomic_stevo]

ive played this map one and the enemies super fobbed that island and no matter what our team did we couldn't capture it, we tried mortars, command assets , attacking from different angles, all at one lol nothing worked , it was fun but hectic

[@Dan20q]

Great entertaining commentary! Beautiful map layer indeed! I hoped for a little more boat action, but wasn't disappointing anyways! That arty on Boris firebase was amazing.

[@lefthandedfelix5765]

I’ve had a lot of fun on this layer in the past. One of the things that might have helped the Russians on the island is leaving the barb wire around the outside perimeter placed, but unbuilt.

[@luigi-op6mq]

Absolutely loving the content coming out Moi, keep it up

[@naancents9604]

I wish more people had the patience for these flooded maps, they're pretty interesting and they've always been atleast entertaining in my experience. I've seen these maps kill full servers because players don't want to the new challenge from the flooding. To be fair games are on average pretty rough in terms of team cohesion. If you just run around doing your own thing (bad on you, by the way) you won't stick around for a map you can't walk across. If you already just scraped by with poor teamwork last game, you won't stick around to see it go even worse.

[@Scriptum.]

8:30 “Is this SuperFOB gonna work?” No superfobs do not work. Boris is a mortards wet dream. 2 tubes and you can just demolish the whole point. US also has arty at that point in the game. It’s an ez take.

[@Tux-rs7rp]

I was wondering how the marines would lose after the easy capture of the super fob, but then the battle over the radio happened

[@x2bad_ur_sniped649]

Well the reason he went to air strike was because he wasn't commander till they had the first 2 caps and he didn't have it up yet. We all asked him to arty the point but he didn't since I'm sure he said he didn't have it

[@Quake3131]

Played this layer a few days ago and it started the EXACT same way- our LAV got engined and was dead in the water 😂

[@x2bad_ur_sniped649]

I was in this match. To the end I sacrificed my logi to protect the command logi from the law and the law thought it was his. Well worth

[@shinyuxie8412]

Fire base Boris is easily the best way to bleed tickets while solo Inf try and figure out that they actually need the rib that they jumped out of 40 minutes ago and never thought twice about it, to play this layer and also not working with Vics in general one any map but especially flooded maps is better then running thirty minutes in a direction just to get domed because you weren’t with a squad

It's kinda ironic given how often I see them win on eye in the sky,I honestly wanted to see more videos of the usmc being defeated and when I got one I just felt bad for them it's actually depressing how quickly they lost morale from that arty strike but on another note I find it funny how the arty strike moi says will be "wrong and useless" will essentially cause the downfall of the entire marine invasion and destroying their morale tet offensive style
