Anyone else here playing Squad? What's your opinion on it?
There's still a difference between directed suppressing fire and holding a rifle above your head and firing it
>>321973883
>and holding a rifle above your head and firing it
I would if I could
Would have survived much longer.
>>321973323
Game's cool but only fun if you get in with a good squad.
Call me when its out of Early Access.
I bought DayZ, Starbound and KF2. That was enough early dissapointmet for my life.
Its fucking expensive and in Early Access. Heard its good though
>>321975694
>my face in a good Squad

I can only imagine how great the game will become once Tanks and Planes are added.
Or it will go up in flames and all our hope betrayed.
>>321976143
It's inf only right now and I'm worried they will ruin how well it plays by adding tanks and helicopters.
>>321976408
One can only hope that Anti-Air capabilities will be really strong and inf will be forced to destroy them before Airstrikes can even be deployed without getting wrecked.
I don't see that much problems with tanks if they get added considering they are gigantic "Shoot Me" targets opposed to Infantry that you most of the time don't even see unless you engage in CQC. Though I imagine Aerial Superiority will be really powerful, imagine throwing a bomb on an objective and killing all it's defenders in one strike.
>>321976604
Hunting tanks in battlefield games was fun until they started adding IR scopes and other annoying gadgets. I'm really enjoying this no frills iron sights style combat.
Its fun when you figure out the trajectory of 203s or RPGs and you hit people 400m away.
OP, you are a dumb sandnigger.
How the fuck do you people even make out targets? Half the time I go closer to the monitor and squint my eyes so I can see something while looking at those low texture trees and ground in the distance. (Is there any way to make the drawn distance high? It's annoying how it's ARMA tier drawing distance)
Half the time I keep shooting into random directions where I hear fire come from unless someone from the squad directs fire by seeing an enemy.
>>321977846
FOV to 80
>>321977846
>It's annoying how it's ARMA tier drawing distance
Arma 2 and 3 have a max drawing distance of ~10km
>>321977948
Grass only gets rendered up to 100m leaving you staring
>>321977931
How does FOV help out at my problem? I'm not seeing people in the distance because the drawing distance is ass and the trees pixelated to shit despite having maxed out AA ingame (Should I force it via Drivers instead?)
>>321977846
Some of your squad mates have binoculars,also if you hold shift while ADS you get a bit of a zoom while holding breath use this to try to spot movement or unnatural shapes. Also check your map a whole lot if you see no friendlies in your front arc then any movement has to be contact.
>>321973323
>Uses EAC
>Not even once anon
>>321978135
I can spot people 2 grids away, maybe you need your eyes checked.
>>321976604
Assuming it will be similar to PR, you get ~2 MANPADs per team and ability to build stationary AA emplacements near FOBs. A good CAS squad will wreck shit anyway until it's shot down.
Tanks will probably be near immune to your normal RPG kit (which is only useful against light armored vehicles). Again, probably there will be 1-2 specialized tank-hunting kits and ability to build stationary anti tank positions.
Also enjoy dealing with tank as infantry if it pops smoke and shoots you using it's thermal vision.
>>321978812

I miss ww2 games
>>321973323
I would love to see insurgency style mode ala Arma 2, in the engine squad uses. The maps looks really great.
is it worth the $40 AUD /v/?? like im so fucking bored right now and don't know what to play
>>321980036
dude i haven't stoppped playing since i got it. don't care if i sound like a shill
>>321979146
Well, if insurgent faction or militia gets a tank, you can bet it will not have any of this fancy stuff
>>321980036
It's early access my man. If you really have nothing else to do and like Inf only games (as of currently) and like shooting into forests without having actual enemy contact it's pretty good. CQC is also pretty nice.

Russians have scopes in PR and you can bet that they will have them in Squad.
This is why I'll wait before I buy this. There is too litle content atm.
>>321980656
It's nothing like Insurgency. People need to stop comparing the two.
>>321980735
enjoy ur early access garbage thats never gonna be finished while i operate with my bros spreading the word of islam server to server
>>321980773
I know it's just odd that Russia doesnt have them in the Alpha build.
Can't wait for IED's for Insurgents though. That would definitely add a totally new layer of gameplay to the game.

You people are the reason why Insurgency went to shit. Fucking Humble Bundle allowed all the shitters to flood the game.

Insurgency is shit. Maps are too small. Its basically CoD with more realistic aiming and damage

How does Squad run? Literally the only thing that ruins ARMA for me is that I CANNOT for the life of me get that piece of shit running at a consistent 60 fps. Even with everything on minimum settings at 1080p. I don't have a toaster either, the game is probably just the most horribly optimized PoS to ever exist
it runs like shit and looks like shit the engine theyre using is garbage
>>321981281

Also I bet you describe Insurgency as "realistic counterstrike"

>>321980661
Will it be that shitty Russian scope that's in BF2:PR?
I rather have no scope than that thing
>>321981738
PSO-1? Well it is a Russian scope. One that the Russians use. So probably.

He called squad "a shittier looking arma". That implies that he actually plays Arma
>>321973323
Literally the best communication and cooperation iv ever seen in pub matches for any game.
Might not be the same for other countries, but for Australia its amazing.
It's shit due to Rally Point spam. Fucking ruins the whole game for me. In PR rally points were rare, lasted for 1 minute and had a proper cool down. In Squad you can just spam them wherever and whenever you want.
>>321982472
LOL. You should try Project Reality instead. In Squad teamwork doesn't really matter, in PR it's the only thing that matters.

Thats just because Squad has less content.
And I have tried PR, its community isnt nearly as good, plus its now dead in my country,
>>321982759
>Thats just because Squad has less content.
No, it's beacuse it's a mindless run and gun shooter.
>And I have tried PR, its community isnt nearly as good, plus its now dead in my country,
Good joke
>>321978135
The smaller your FOV the bigger targets on your screen appear
Having a FOV of 80 will appear zoomed in in comparison to higher FOVs
>>321976408
PR had a heavy AT class to kill tanks. I guess they will ad it to squad when the tanks come out.
But that takes awhile. First batch of vehicles will be light vehicles only.
>>321980351
Depends on exact setting, and how seriously you treat availability. Russians got really late for thermals, Goshawk scopes are new and still very rare due to their price, during night they rely on night scopes, while their heavy shit still uses active IR, inferior to passive thermals, but working just fine at close ranges (close for a tank is <1km).
Thermal sights are rare even on very expensive equippment like tanks, only new ones, like T-72B3 or late production T-90s have them.
>>321978135
You can focus when aiming down sights by pressing shift
>>321981506
It runs like shit but runs better than Arma.
>>321982496
Have you thought for a single second why you can put down infinite rally points right now? There's no huey at base waiting to fly people in or humvees for squads to use. Use your fucking brain for a single second before posting next time.
>>321982818
>No, it's beacuse it's a mindless run and gun shooter.
Confirmed for having never played Squad.
Enjoy getting shot up before you even can spot the enemy or trying to defend a single objective alone.

holy shit that was some real FUN times
>>321976408
While I personally can't wait for vehicles, I'm certain there will be a way to play with infantry only or maybe infantry + trucks or something.
>>321982818
>No, it's beacuse it's a mindless run and gun shooter.
And PR is a bad visual novel.
This is what you are doing.
>>321982818

Squad is very uncoordinated atm becuase its full of new people.
Its not the game, its the players. They have adapt to this game style first.
>>321983001
Dont mind him, there will be people who can't accept seeing squad do well as PR slowly dies.
>>321973323
Does this game have PiP scopes like Red Orchestra?
>>321983046
In my experience mechanized infantry is the most effective and fun
>>321982694
Doing this is always great, they need to add destruction later on for maximum enjoyment though.
>>321983102
>Squad is very uncoordinated atm becuase its full of new people.
No, it's because of Rally Point spam and low death penalty. Doesn't matter if you die, you can quickly respawn at a rally point 50 meters away. No need to be tactical or care about dying.
>>321983190
For constructed objects maybe, but not walls and buildings.
Otherwise the whole map will just become a flat zone.
>>321983251
You hate cooperation and teamwork, we get it. No one cares.
>>321983142
HMV GPK(with a bunch of AT4 packed in) + infantry was tons of fun on A2.
>>321983102
>Its not the game, its the players. They have adapt to this game style first.
Nope, it's the game. If you would put 100 new players in PR it would not end up like a frag fest because that game has mechanics preventing that sort of Gameplay. Right now Squad is close to BF2.
>>321983251
The game has no vehicles.
There is no way to get quick from base to frontline.
When we have vehicles this shit will stop.
>>321983347
No, i love it. That's why i play PR. Squad needs more teamwork and the current Rally Point mechanics are preventing that.
>>321983106
>there will be people who can't accept seeing squad do well as PR slowly dies.
I don't understand this, it's the same thing made by roughly the same people.
It's just a migration.
>>321981506
Better.
What kills perfomance in ArmA is that all clients have their fps gimped to speed of server. Supposely it has something to do with physics engine. Also lots of background scripts, common on RP servers, can literally butcher perfomance.
Unless you play on private server running on respectable rig, you're stuck with shit fps because of that.

You need them.
JSRS,ACE,Taskforce Radio,Blastcore(warfx)
Are all essential for Arma 2.
If you want to play and if (i hope) the sever is still up search for the "15th MEuSOC".
>that 14yo kid whining in mic after going 0-7 after going for the sniper kit every time
>>321985298

>>321985349
How do kits work in Squad?
Like in PR?
If yes the squad leader should just kick him
>>321985298
Also if there's a password it's "15th".
Be sure to join the teamspeak, you won't hear everyone at once thanks to Task force radio voice range feature.
I think A2 is past its prime but I'm sure some people didn't move on.

Try out Project Reality, it's the route that Squad will eventually go. Infantry are not utterly crushed by anything but competent IFVs and the ubiquity of anti-tank weapons should nullify them quite a bit.
