Squad Review

You live longer.

Oh god yes, communication between your Squad mates is so very rewarding

It is a strong, team-based, tactical and strategic, first person shooter. It surpasses ARMA 3 in gameplay and mechanics, falling short only when it comes to yet to be produced content.

Every role fills a niche.

Large maps and plenty of both urban sprawls and forests to explore.

Everything is set in stone. Dated and signed by the developer.

The weapons have a steep learning curve, but once you master them, you're already on your way to dominating the enemy and protecting your squadmates.

About as realistic as a game might allow while still being fun.

Squad is very much worth the money, but it makes more sense to wait for a sale. Unless you hate saving money. What kind of question is this?

Don't wait. We need you in our squad!

Developers are very interactive with the community. Updates are slow but detailed and explained.

Definitely. This game fills the let downs by Bohemia.

They brought back Project Reality with beautiful visuals and addicting gameplay.

They're very... simplistic. They meet their needs and get the job done, but they're very plain. It's like if you took a cube and slid it on the floor. It works great on flat surfaces but acts clunky on bumpy or uneven terrain.

The best driving mechanics I've seen in a game are not from a racing game or simulator, but Halo: Reach on Xbox 360. This is based solely on how the vehicle reacts to the terrain. The suspension actually works, the tires grip what's under them, and the vehicles traverse like fluid over the setting.

To compare Squad to Reach, Squad is like GTA San Andreas. Press Left to go Left, Right to go Right. Forward to move. Back to reverse into a wall and get stuck.

The devs have talked about their plans to update this.

Easy but realistic

As far as i can tell, though i hope to see the British armed forces soon

Yes, and it shows that soldiers do not always know where the enemy is waiting.

You win the match and survive longer.

Very.

They are decent. They look good in some places but bad in others. Call it a mix between Rainbow Six Siege and RUST. A lot was scaled back while they try to solve optimization issues.

Stand in the middle of a firefight with your headset at max. Tell me that doesn't sound authentic.

60 FPS max settings. Same with others on varying builds.

Though, I wonder if it could do better. There are not many games to compare it to. ARMA 3 and Squad are built differently and utilize two different, unique engines. How either accomplish visuals or virtual trickery is unbeknownst to me. Still, it runs better than ARMA 3 vanilla for me.
