Although I haven't played in awhile, SQUAD still offers LOUD and authentic firefights that you really can't find anywhere else but private-server Arma milsim. I just feel like despite recent overhauls its age is beginning to show quite a bit and the "new" gunplay can be frustrating to deal with at times. A lot of other games have grabbed my attention recently too. What are your thoughts on the game in 2024? Are you still playing? I do read the comments so let me know! :)

[@SexyxSeds]

gotcha

[@pyeitme508]

Ok, please review Gray Zone Warfare game 🥺

[@pnessi570]

Thats why the alot of the playerbase swapped over to global escalation mod. Keeps the suppression, adds content, and the gunplay is great.

As a squad player I love the game but damn does it feel like I have to force myself to play sometimes

[@Mike.The.Jeweler]

Yeah the recoil changes threw me off the game so bad, its brutal.

[@Madara8989]

I would love to play more, but I'm not comfortable using a mic in my current living situation and trying to get anywhere on the map is a nightmare. The game offers borderline no solo playability and having to request permission to drive even the most basic vehicle makes it daunting to try and pick up & play because once your team leaves spawn, anyone leftover is basically stranded.

I got Squad few years back. Kept getting kicked by SLs 'cause of being new. Can't play as a solo tag-a-long so I got no time to sit in a que to be kicked.

[@pimmyhen]

9 out of 10 times I end up playing global escalation mod in squad. Also adds enemy proximity chat which is fun and when I see the server list I see A lot of other servers also running GE.

It’s 10 out of 10 for me😂 I just can’t even bother touching vanilla servers anymore.

[@axelravanello7914]

Vanilla is unplayable with that recoil

[@TEP90]

We just need to start kicking players that dont communicate. That bullshit needs to change. The whole game is based on communication, teamwork and logistics. People dont understand that though. Bc COD rotted their brains.

I still play squad every once in a while like maybe a session once a month but i mostly play arma reforger now and SPT

[@Tiro_Chopper]

I still play Squad all the time. I love playing vehicles with a friend of mine, it really probvides a great environment to play armour in a context dominated by infantry.

[@calebcavanaugh6476]

I am in a similar boat when it comes to squad. I love playing squad but can only bring myself to play when I have friends. The suppresion and stability are great concepts and mechanics created for project realism but when added to squad they needed to be set at a 4/10 and the devs set them an 11/10 and subsequently killed the fun I got from the game itself.

[@MC_605]

Exactly make it realistic have my character handle a firearm like a soldier and not like a 12 year old that has never fired a rifle before lol.

Apparently Global Escalation has modified settings that tone back the Infantry overhaul stuff. Been playing it myself more and i find the gun play more manageable or at least im not blaming the controls for losing the gunfight or my characters 5 seconds of max stamina

do a minecraft lets play you wont

[@SnipeGhost]

really got into Squad for the first time after the Infantry update i love the game so fucking much. best Milsim I’ve ever played.

[@Always_has_been]

Can someone tell the devs that when you get tunnel vision due to adrenaline the center of your vision doesn't go blurry? It'd be way better off if only the peripherals of the screen went blurry when getting suppressed. That would actually be closer to the feeling oof tunnel vision.

[@TheEtherea]

Glad to see you playing Squad again!

[@druid4243]

In the future if by some miracle I'm developing a game with Picture in Picture scopes, I'd definitely include some sort of rule to cull foliage within like a foot or so of the scope camera just to allow some more of the realistic "peaking through grass" kind of sniper gameplay.

[@druid4243]

Or like, "fade out" grass and foliage some way when you're inside it and aiming. In real life I can just push grass out of the way real quick with my barrel or hand when I'm shooting, there has to be some concession in games.

[@Bumper03100]

Have you checked out the global escalation mod? The suppression is lowered as well as adding some new factions and guns to the game
