WELCOME TO SQUAD - Introduction Video

[@Mazapine]

Squad is the only game that's filled the Battlefield-sized hole in my heart since the glory days of BF3 and BF4

[@daviddacko87]

If you like battlefield this game might not be for you because it's drastically more realistic and it isn't a run and gun game.

[@Mazapine]

@@daviddacko87 I have 550 hours in Squad, definitely not the same as Battlefield but it was born out of a Battlefield mod so there's definitely some of the DNA there. Plus I exclusively played hardcore mode in BF3/4 🤝

[@gentleseal1778]

Like every game, Squad has its flaws. But, those shared moments between strangers is what makes this game forever one of my favorites. If you want to feel like a team, to fight together simply based on acquaintance, pick this game up, join a new player friendly server, and don’t be afraid to ask.

[@dragonproductions236]

The main flaw is that OWI refuses to do even basic optimization of their spaghetti code.

[@SirDerage]

No game has ever come as close to such a great online experience with complete random strangers as Squad. I used to mute mics in other games because of childish players, but I wouldn''t play Squad without one.

Defined as a BF4 Hardcore player. This game has take my soul in to it. Being unique at the role you are taking, it feels more special when you do your job. For example, when you do Sniper or AT role or SL, you definetly are more engaged than playing those roles in BF.

[@FR4NKM4N]

Squad is as cinematic as battlefield , and has even pushed the limits to be even bigger and better. I'm going to get a PC , and this will probably be the first game I binge . Wow.

[@SteadyHighLife]

If OWI is not carful then Squad will be turning into battlefield...(meaning not a good thing) the core community that has kept this game alive is already torn apart as it is.

[@G_Kaz]

The matches in this game are usually long, most the time you'll play a game for half and hour with only 5 kills. A lot of downtime moving from point to point on these big maps only to get shot and not know where you got killed from. Gunplay that takes some major getting use to. But between all that are these little moments; the laughs you get from random interactions with complete strangers, the epic defenses and assaults that you'll eventually be apart of all while it seems like the world around you is exploding and everyone is dying, being the last guy alive in your squad while enemy are all around you, being in the right place at the right time to mow down an entire enemy squad, running head on into a tank while your whole squad is loaded up in a logistic vehicle. All those little moments is what makes this game amazing and why I have been playing is since 2015 with over 600 hours

[@Caravela23]

LET’S GOOOO READYYY TO THIS 🤯🤯🤯🎥🎥🎥

[@anymyo9882]

What about adding some of these cinematic soldier animations to the actual game? For example, different walking/running animations randomly applied to spawned soldiers to enhance immersion. Or how about bullet impact/explosion flinch animations? For instance, when there's a close explosion or bullet impact, the soldier could react with a flinch animation. Additionally, physics-based ragdoll animations could help prevent unnatural falling animations. These small details would be purely for the optics, without any impact on gameplay, and would bring the game closer to the awesome trailer!

[@Dagger_6-w7t]

I never notice other players when we are hit with a tank shell, grenade, or rocket. There’s always too much going on. I think these types of animations would go unnoticed.

[@anymyo9882]

​@@Dagger_6-w7t Some might notice it, while others may not. Doesnt make it unnecessary. It's always good, when the real game comes closer to the well promoted trailer.

[@QurtSquad]

u def need to learn smth about game making))

[@anarchy-]

No to mention magazine handling and reloading. Look at BattleBit, such a "simple" game, but has the best magazine system there has ever been in a game. You can do a fast reload by dropping your mag and collect it after the firefight is over. When you have time, you can combine the rounds of your magazines. Heck you can even take your teammate's mags when they're the same type as yours. Squad is wishful thinking anyways. If you're not inside a likeminded community, then it's very rare to experience some of these epic trailer moments. First of all, most players want to be on the side of the "cool/stylish" forces, such as the US Army (ironically in all Squad trailers the focus in on the US Troops 😅), so if you join a game, you much likely end up on the "insurgent/OPFOR" team and changing teams is hard, because there are others who want to change too. Then most players want to play desert maps, like those from war movies, means servers with those maps are either full with a long queue or underpopluated and unlike in other games, servers stay full for a very long time, because players stay often until the end of the round. Once a round is over and you can join your favorite team, it takes veeery long until the game is properly started into a firefight. The game is not easy, many players (me included), haven't learned all the mechanics properly, as it has a steep learning curve and I don't have that much time to play. Furthermore, the game is called Squad... but once in a while I enjoy playing the game alone, it's hard to find servers with a game mode where you can do this without punishment. Other players want that too, so you can find squads on servers, where no one is interacting or squadmembers who play on their own. TBH: Because of these reasons I haven't played the game since 2023 and I'm pretty sure these things haven't changed.
