From the people who made project reality comes SQUAD. Got this a few days ago and I'm blown away by how good it is and it's potential. This game is all about teamwork. Everything you do contributes to helping your team win. Even if you aren't getting kills, laying down covering fire and suppressive fire in this game actually matters. I've had so many intense moments in this game and it's only in Alpha. What do you guys think so far? Opinions? Stories?
Here's a good one:
Imagine being a squad leader in charge of 8 others. Other squad leader asks for my support, so i move my squad around for a flank. Before we get in place, a grenade goes off and kill my marksmen and machine gunner. Everyone gets down, were in the middle of the woods, bullets are coming from everywhere but behind us. I place down a rally point for a respawn for my guys, we hold our position for at least 10 minutes fighting off countless enemies from all around. I radio to the other squads that were are surrounded and need backup. In return i got "roger that squad leader 3, youre uh........ yeah youre ed bro idk what to do lol". Decide to buold an FOB in place and defend this area. For the next hour, i have half of my men using shovels to build sandbag walls and hesco barriers while the other half keeps the enemy distracted. The amount of gun fire and explosions and people screaming around as i try to get this base build is unreal. The enemy keeps launching grenades at our walls and blowing up our ladders. Finally 1st squad comes around and flanks the enemy to take them out.
10/10 would listen to my men cry for their mommies and wifes again.

I'm not buying your game.
Give me them vehicles f4m. JSEK's, it's suffering from the same thing all early access does. Hyped up fanboys and little content.
Could be good when it's released, but it looks like shit.
Oh, and for anyone that doesn't believe it, watch this whole thread go without any real screen shots. Only cheery picked screens.
>>322229715
>it looks like shit
Hyper realistic shooting games are some of the most boring ever. I've served in the military once already i don't wanna do it in a fucking videogame again.
>Getting blown up in game doesn't force-reformat your hardrives.
2/11 shit reality simulator.
>>322229715
They are adding vehicles game is pre alpha.
It's better to come clean and admit you're the developer rather than pretend to be a regular old anon who is SUPER EXCITED about an upcoming game. Honesty goes a long way here.
why bother now that prww2 beta is out?
>>322230229
It's realistic, but they are putting gameplay and teamwork first.
>>322230886
Hahaha yeah right, I wish I was a developer :P
This is gold hahaha

Why not play PR? You can the same thing, and more, for free. Squad isn't worth 50 bucks in its current state.
>10/10 would X again
Go away reddit.
>>322230094
>it looks like shit
Graphics wise?
Game is fucking beautiful for a 50 vs. 50 milsim.
>>322229848
I post screens in every Squad thread I'm in. What are you on about?
>>322230912
I played PR back in the day and I saw some videos of the PRWW2, DDAY looks intense and I hope future SQUAD games or DLC ADD WW2, but I like where SQUAD is heading and I'd like to see this game grow and fulfill its potential.
>>322230912
Squad will have mod support. We will get a WWII squad eventually.
>>322231040
See, this kind of behaviour works against your favor.
Now I am definitely not going to buy you game.
There's viral marketing then there's shameless asshattery.
And if you were half-telling the truth because thecnically you're just a hired marketer and not a developer, you should be ashamed you're so shitty at your job.
>>322231169
That's a steam review i found funny.
>>322231169
PR is a great game and I would support it as well, but this game is the successor to PR and is made by the PR guys, so why not support them??
>>322231451
You're cool bro!
This is the gameplay of Squad summed up in one pic. Just laying prone a mountainside, shooting at some other dude on a different hill 500m away while he shoots at you. Eventually, the RNG spread gods favor on of you, and someone gets hit.
>>322231164
I wanted to complain about the waste of LATs but then I realized the game lacks vehicles
Does the RPG not have an arming distance?
the devs need to admit that their timing for this game was terrible. Shitty looking old engine for a game type that isn't even popular.
Expect constant shilling in an attempt to make their money back.
>>322231451
wtf if i was a marketer, why the fuck would I copy and paste a steam review. Wtf kind of logic is that.
>>322231505
It really wasn't funny in the slightest.
>>322231573
It's made by the kike rejects of the PR team. Releasing the game at the current price and state is a mistake. PR has been updated for a decade, it's going to take them quite abit of time to catchup content wise. I'm not a gfxfag and I think Refractor 2 works well and looks passable so there's no real reason to play Squad.
>>322231770
They are adding vehicles and sighting in for some weapons.
>>322231839
If you really think stating that is a valid contingency plan for when you are called out on your shit, you've got another think coming.
>>322231770
Arming distance is in for grenade launchers, but not RPGs yet.
>>322231965
>sighting in for some weapons.
Like the Q in PR? or also zeroing?
so this thread pretty much failed. kek
>>322231725
Uh what do you think real war is like buddy? Have you ever even watched any combat footage from Iraq in youtube?
>>322231893
I agree the game is overpriced and lacking content, but I still see potential, so what's wrong with that? Community is nice and helpful and developers are active. PR is not going to last forever, so we need a new successor.
You should pass out some Squad keys. That's what the guys at Origin do.
>>322232029
You mad bro? I played the game and liked it, doesn't make me marketer.
The way the engine deals with sounds on AMD processors makes this game tough to enjoy for me. When it's slower paced engagements, everything runs fine. But when there's a lot of sounds being played, such as in the middle of a city with fighting between FOB's, I get all kinds of chop and input lag unless I drop my graphics settings by quite a bit.
So right now, I gotta choose between a decent looking game that goes to shit in CQC or a smoothly running pixelart game.

>>322232335
How about combat footage from Afghanistan? :^)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUmpl4JnDdA
Squad having as much content as PR when?
>>322232335
I could make a 100% authentic lawn mowing game, but that doesn't mean if would be fun to play.
>>322232181
They said they will add sighting in for weapons that you actually do that for in a combat situation. The website has more info about their development plans
>>322232409
>>322231505
>300x168
Is this the Xbone version?
game kinda does look like shit desu familia
>>322232545
Funnily enough, that's pretty close to how close quarters fighting plays out in Squad.
>>322232524
Yeah I hope they optimize things soon, but fuck the game just game out.
The community is shit and there's always Minecraft fuckers that want to do nothing but build FOBs.
>>322232545
>endless sea of hard mud
Jesus christ, does literally nothing grow there? Even Arizona has cacti and shrubs. There isn't a piece of vegetation for miles in that video.
>>322232687
The sound issue with AMD processors isn't really anything they can fix as far as I know, the issue is with the engine itself. Basically, it's something Epic has to fix. But the rest of the assets and whatnot will definitely see optimization as time goes on, alleviating the problem to a degree.
>>322232645
graphic aren't everything
>>322232686
>implying people wouldn't use burst fire
>>322232764
Makes you understand why people there become terrorists
Nothing to do/see
>>322232701
This is the biggest problem with the game right now. They need some sort of mechanic to keep people from doing that. Like needing to spend tons of capture points on FOB parts or something. A squad spending the game minecrafting almost guarantees you'll lose the match.
>>322232701
So far the people I've played with have been pretty mature. Are you implying that other games have a better community? Which ones? When has there ever not been trolls in a game?
>>322232764
Most of Afghanistan used to be a verdant field of grass, flowers, and shrubbery.
Years of armed conflict and rebellions have turned it into what you see.
>>322232996
Hence "pretty close."
Also, the only people really using auto/burst are the mega scrubs. I really enjoy how the weapons default to semi when you spawn, nice little subtle hint.
I bought it
Shooting felt like shit. The game might as well not exist if the netcode is going to be fucking trash. Shooting is the one thing it has to get right an it doesn't
>>322233231
Its the one thing almost every shooter fucks up.
>>322233041
I joined in a match where some fucker was gloating about how amazing his FOB was last round and should've took screenshots. Sure enough he made another FOB in the middle of a field on a capture point surrounded by mountains. Needless to say, we by almost 120 tickets.
>>322233801
>we by almost 120 tickets.
You what by almost 120 tickets?
Who likes the game? Any good stories?
>>322229515
This sounds like a major shill post.
Why are Russians fighting Murricans in Afghanistan?
Though I would wait a while to see where the game is headed, I'd probably buy it if my computer wasn't so old. It looks like a nice middle ground between Red Orchestra and Arma. Do they plan on releasing it on Linux?
>>322234253
Not even some subtlety, just a blatant shilling.
Remember to report and move on /v/.
stop shilling your shitty game, it's a barebones PR for $40
there arent even any fucking vehicles
>>322230912
Link to the download? The site is a mess
>>322234592
GAME IS PREALPHA WTF DO YOU EXPECT!!! and they are adding vehicles.
>>322235462
I expect not to have to pay $40 for pre-alpha bug-ridden shit.
Also they're having difficult implementing vehicles.
"We have had a number of updates regarding this highly sought after feature in recent months, but the reality is that they are not in a state where they can be rolled out to the public. Our programmers ran a number of tests on fully populated servers and experienced a lot of rubber-banding due to the vehicles de-syncing. This is a side effect of physics and replication on the servers not performing as intended."

>>322236537
vehicles won't be in for another 3-6 months
>>322236651
patience it's early access.
>>322231725
Thats what PR is like too.
It may not be realistic but at least BF4 is more fun than this sort of milsim autism shit.
You've been shilling this game for about an hour. Fuck off.
>>322235462
suck a chode you entitled piece of shit
>>322236537
go back to COD man.
>>322237763
What's with all the hate for this game?!? It's a game built around teamwork go back to your COD lone wolf one man army shit.
>>322229515
I honestly can't help but cringe at these shitty UBER INTENZE TACTICOOL XDD
>>322232764
There are some dense forests at the foot of mountains and In some areas they are very large. Most areas are just as you describe though
>>322237951
i dont care about the game in the slightest, its YOU and YOU alone i despise, go deepthroat a cactus you waste of life.
>>322231164
>This video contains content from SME
At this point i really hope you're getting payed to do this OP.
>>322238047
Games are about roleplaying. Feels like i'm in warzone when I'm pinned down by an MG with rockets and grenades exploding all around me. Then I radio squad alpha to flank their mg and attacking squad. Tactical, intense and makes me shit bricks sometimes when a bullet lands next to me. Great sound effects. Makes me cum in my pants with adrenaline . You jelly?
>>322238112
Hahaha yeah that's what I like a spiky dick!
>>322238425
No it's just cringey because you sound like you're trying to be a vet explaining his "intense experiences"
>>322238326
Just wanted a nice conversation about a cool game with potential and a shit storm starts...........oh internet how you never get old.
>>322238621
game creates experiences like that though. So many crazy stories playing that game with friends in a squad.
>>322238718
How does one get into the game/ Are there forums?
>>322238629
Your thread isn't even a subtle shilling thread. You're not even trying. The way you type makes you look underage which you most likely are. Be glad that you might not get banned and your thread just sinks to the last page.
>>322238629
You honestly sound like you're from reddit
>>322238838
There are forums and the community is very helpful. Join a server and join a squad. Bring a mic though. Communication is key. Almost everyone uses one. Just find a nice squad join it and ask the squad leader for help and usually they are pretty nice and will show you the ropes. Just stick close to your squad and follow orders and you'll be okay. The game is all about teamwork. If you just want to run off into fairy-tale land by yourself, then fuck off, but if you want to enjoy one of the best team oriented game where working together makes you win, then my friend you have found an amazing place. My buddy is getting on soon and we're going to squad up together and kick some ass. If you want you can join us.
>>322238874
Haters going to hate. You're cool bro.
>>322239104
How is griefing handled?
>>322239190
Haven't really encountered it. The community has been pretty mature so far.
>>322229515
>EA
>start with $40
even solid game like dirt rally was started with $34
>>322229515
The problem with SQUAD is that it's the PR team recreating PR but it's in EA with fewer maps/features/modes/players.
I like the idea of fixing all the buggy shit and expanding upon PRBF2 by going to a new engine, but it's not going to even be close the level of PRBF2 for another year or so. It's hard to keep people interested for long periods of time, and by the time it's ready for a full release something else will come along or enough people will have heard lame things about the EA alpha/beta.
>>322229515
I'm a Youtube celebrity, Developer. Give me a free copy and I'll shill your game.
>>322229515
>Early access
Ill wait for release, no thanks OP.
Give me anything that isn't clunky ArmA shit.
