Squad

it's a very good game if you have good graghics but it takes months to get good at.

Great milsim. If you are willing to play 1-2+ hour matches in a full scale team environment, this is your game. Its very similar to Arma Reforger, just slightly scaled back in length and gametypes. Worth picking up.

I don't like the ICO changes. Infantry combat is not enjoyable anymore

I hate the fact i cant use my fcking names becouse UNICODE CHARACTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED, pls give a name system into the game where you can set your ingame name

I CANT PLAY IT i need help pls i cant play the game after buying it i got server massege internet error or untrusted file

Battlefield without the EA curse

I've never been happier, this game fulfilled all my dreams, THE best FPS i've played

10/10

How is this piece of fuck is "very positive" shit is not even funny, not mentioning it's look like a ps3 game but with sucks performance, i am just... FRUSTRATED And i Want my Money BACK

Movement mechanics are awful, bad enough that it ruined the rest of the game for me. Reading reviews about this, dating as far back as 2016 and seeing that it's still just as bad as alpha, I'm going to opt for a refund and move my money to something else. Other mechanics in the game are awesome, but something as basic as movement feeling like garbage isn't going to fly for that price.

I really wanted to love this game, but its extremely clunky and every movement feels like im carrying 1000lbs. Firing a weapon is like your a 10 year child and cant hit fish in a barrel. I should have bought Arma Reforger instead fml.

This games gives u real life what war is like. like crazy but i wish that the buliding would turn into rubble like when u bomb they dont break they stay same so it would be realistic if they make em turn to rubble.

Squad is a tactical first-person shooter that offers a highly immersive and teamwork-oriented experience. Developed by Offworld Industries, it's designed to simulate the intensity of modern military combat with a strong focus on communication, coordination, and strategy. Here’s a breakdown of its key aspects:

Pros
Realistic Gameplay: Squad emphasizes realism with large-scale battles, detailed weapon mechanics, and authentic sound design.
Teamwork-Centric: Success relies heavily on communication through in-game voice chat, creating a strong sense of camaraderie.
Massive Maps and Variety: Maps are expansive and meticulously designed, providing opportunities for dynamic engagements.
Vehicle Combat: Tanks, helicopters, and armored vehicles add to the strategic depth.
Mod Support: The community has created numerous mods that enhance replayability.
Cons
Steep Learning Curve: New players may struggle without prior experience in tactical shooters.
Reliance on Others: A poor squad leader or lack of team coordination can lead to frustrating matches.
Occasional Performance Issues: Due to the large-scale battles, lower-end PCs may experience lag or frame drops.
Final Thoughts
If you enjoy strategic gameplay and thrive in cooperative environments, Squad is an excellent choice. However, solo players or those seeking fast-paced action might find the slower, more methodical pace a bit challenging. It’s a rewarding experience for those willing to invest time into mastering its mechanics.

Fps was terrible, i'm usually not too picky but made the game unplayable. My PC is more than powerful enough to run this.

Also, it's a skill issue, and I'm sure if i stuck around and figured out the roles and uniforms, I would get the hang of it, but I joined a "beginner friendly" server and people were very much not beginner friendly.

i like how realistic everythinng is, but i have to say that the game logic needs a little work cuz when i see that a 62ton tank cant take down a tree its a little sad. the game is really great tho but i would like it if they use real armor model like war thunder and remove this trash hp system,

It will be a very fulfilling game if you join a Mil-Sim Server thru Discord. You will likely go thru layers or levels of training done by live players who higher ranked officers and in doing so, it will begin to rank you up to more responsiobility/leadership roles with the group. Also, almost everyone uses voice com's, so it quite fun conversating and strategically planning team pushes and flanks, ect.

SQUAD is fun when it works. Which is only about 1% of the time.

The other 99% of the time is waiting in a queue to get into a decent server, the game being 30 tickets from ending by the time you get in, and then waiting to load a new map. Once you get into a new game, it's a race to join a squad so that you're not penalized, and if you lose the race, you're fucked. Either you have to create your own squad, or wait for someone to leave or unlock their squads.

Nevermind the fact that the game is a walking simulator. You're lucky if you even make it that far.

Like I said, when it works, it works. This just isn't the type of game to play if you're not ready to throw away hours of your life to find a consistent group to play with so you don't have to deal with randoms. If you're the type of person who only games for a few hours after a long day of work, this game is not for you. Hours of time must be invested into this game in order for it to be worth it.

this game is excellent for walking around for an hour and getting shot to die and redo over again
10/10 highly recommend

This game is really fun to play, the realism in infantry combat is amazing to me.

Except I cannot enjoy this game when my GPU sounds like a jet engine getting ready to explode.
I'm running a RTX 3070 on the lowest graphics and my frame rate capped at 72.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Flooded Manicouagan. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of strategic thinking most of the gameplay will go over a typical player's head. There's also a squad leaders outlook, which is deftly woven into how the map is played- their personal playstyle draws heavily from previous matches, for instance. The enjoyers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this map, to realize that the map is not just good- it is the pinnacle of Squad gameplay. As a consequence people who dislike Flooded Manicouagan truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the brilliance in having squad leaders work together towards a unified objective, constantly outthink their opponents, and commanding respect and loyalty, inspiring their squad mates to perform at a supreme level I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as OWI's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Flooded Manicouagan tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

too hard to tell friend from foe. played for a hour and only got team kills. you have to constantly look at the map for teammates as there is no friendly indicator unless you're aiming directly at them. scoped weapons are useless the scope is too small to look through

good game. but the optimization could be better. squad lags a lot and the servers can be shaky. other than that its amazing.

Nearly all experience is depandend on the server you pick. Either you are joking with a bunch of 40 year olds in the truck with real military expireince or just sitting in sielence. I reccomend to look for ones on youtube and joining this servers discord. On my another account i have played this game way more and the best advice i can give is to start talking first. Always someone will respond and then nearly everyone will fell comfortable talking and this can make your games much more fun to play.
if you are a litlle more introvert bringing a friend or 2 might work aswell.

I experience new levels of PTSD(Post-Traumatic stress disorder) every time I play
thats perfect.

After 100 hours of playing this game and after trial and error I finally have a grasp of what do do in most situations. There is about a 50 - 70 hour learning curve that you have to get through before you can really enjoy the game. One of the first things you should learn in this game is predict where the enemy is going to flank (Defending) If you are on attack make sure you flank where the enemy wont expect you to flank (Attacking) which takes experience to really know. The 2nd thing is make sure your Squad Leader or whoever puts the Respawn Point (Hab) close to the point hidden away for attack and the same goes for defending so you don't have to run miles for no reason that is what really made me not like the game at first. After learning those 2 simple but complicated mechanics the experience of the game was finally fun and it turns into some sort of chess match with guns if you know what your doing.

cool game play global escalation mod or steel divison pretty cool mods

Highlight: Atmosphere

Sometimes I'm lost and confused seeing no combat for hours, sometimes I'm lost and confused being shot at from every direction. love this. Really feels like the real thing sometimes.

possibly the most immersive and realistic game ever, great graphics and design as well as gameplay but i wish we could customise weapons more, overall amazing.

servers have been overrun by a bunch of new age faggots. Been banned from about every server now for the stupidest shit, things like "offensive language" or God forbid you tell a squad leader to actually do their job and organize/lead the fucking squad. Like isn't this a mature rated war simulator game??? Where did all these jrotc kids come from? This was not a problem when the game first came out

It can be a little frustrating at first and takes about 20-40 hours to become confident and understand the game's flow. But after that, it is absolutely amazing, and almost impossible to pull yourself away, especially if you find a good community that can help you learn. Money well spent.

this game is sick and my favorite game modes are the steel division or global escalation and they even have one for the star wars nerds :D

After some hundreds of game I can recommend Squad to those gamers who would like to play with a game with good visual effects, live-smelling actions, valid weapons, roles; but also ensure that the game will last until the end, not until the first kill.

My PC is very good so I can run the game with highest level of graphics and it worths it.
There are some bugs but not annoying.

The atmosphere is fantastic.

I tried Squad 44 and within one day I requested refund. For me that is far behind this game.

I think I will play Squad for several years and may reach the gameplay hours of Counter Strike.

Great game , community is great. Great optimization you just need to update your computer to keep up.

I started playing this game years ago !! Loved every second of it, early access and long after it was exciting, the nuance of the project reality days. mad a few friends and had a few laughs and some intense moments for sure. Stopped playing about 3 years ago and decided to come back and give it another try.

OMG what a mistake!! Should of stayed away with those happy memories and sense of nostalgia. However my dumb self had to give it a shot again.

Explain to me how in so many years with so many updates this game is still optimized like a potato (Forgive me Potatoes) the game play feels (Yes its my opinion don't like it boo hoo) feels like its become more arcade instead of Mil Sim.

Balancing !!!! what is that? Can I eat it?

DOnt let the screenshots and videos fool you!! You might . . . Might once in a blue moon see that much action. Most of the time you are walking, in a logi truck, in the re spawn menu or digging sandbags . . then 5 min of getting shot at by Casper the F#@K you ghost, cause you got no idea where that shot came from and oh. . . your team will be helpful 40 to 60% of the time. Oh there is a medic near by to help you and revive you HAHA Nope that man took that class because of the extra bandages and self heal !!

This is one of those games where you hate it, but you hate it so much you love it . . then lose your S#@T with a team member after he shot you for the 9th time because he cant tell a USMC Helmet from a freaking Scarf. So you rage quit go for a walk touch grass and come straight back saying . . this time. . this time will be different. . . Yeah its not. It never will be.

Very good game, realistic feelings, and good way to look at it if you're interested in joining the army as it represents literal combat and how it would possibly go about with the whole mechanics thing.

After 2300 hours I have seen this game through thick and thin. From the early days to the controversial ICO, from vanilla to modded I have seen it all.

I can say for absolutely certain that this is the best tactical shooter on steam, a great blend between realism and arcade fun. Over half of my time playing squad has been with the Galactic Contention Mods, I have never been apart of such a positive, helpful, and fun group of gamers.

Squad is a 10/10 game, but galactic contention makes it 11/10. Would recommend.

Spent 20+ minutes sprinting to the objective.
Gunned down by someone I never saw.
New spawn location isn't available, have to run another 20 minutes.
This game is life changing.
10/10 would buy again.

This is the best blend of Modern Military Sim & fun game play around

10/10 better than arma realistic combat
cool people

Some of the best tank combat i have ever had in a milsim

This game is very enjoyable but only if you utilize communication with your team and work together. It will get boring if your teammates don't say a word the whole time and especially if you or your team just wander solo.
To enjoy this game make sure to join a server where everyone is cohesive with each other, where you can try an actual plan instead of walking around thinking this is call of duty.

The game is difficult for players used to arcade FPS but no worries, just get used to a bit of a more realistic
team effort approach

I love the graphics and sound in this game, it gives a very immersive experience especially when you are taking on heavy machine gun fire or artillery fire. You won't hear your teammates and you can genuinely get disoriented its very cool.

The game is truly built around teamwork, sometimes your teammates will make you rage quit after they scatter in 5 different directions, and sometimes your entire squad will lock in and you'll hit objectives with precision nobody could expect. Find some decent players to ride with and you'll have a blast, and get PTSD. Worth every penny.

The fact that you have to communicate with your teammates through different channels in the game, the way the game pushes a variety of players to act as a team, and the diversity brought by different countries' unique weapons and armored vehicles have genuinely made even someone like me (who normally doesn’t enjoy FPS games) play regularly. And I’m still enjoying it more and more. The relatively high average age of the players also gives the game a much more mature atmosphere, which I personally appreciate. I highly recommend it!

its a great game can be alittle toxic at times and those with anxiety can be triggering

Great game, great player leadership. Sometimes it can become chaotic but most of the time its a great game!

This has to be the absolute BEST MIL SIM game ever created. Its super fun, plenty of different roles, weapons, maps, factions, vehicles, etc. Even MORE fun when you play with buddies. Yeah sometimes ppl take the game to seriously like there were in every war ever lol (coming from a vet myself), but they mean well and try to keep the games/servers running as fully and immersive as possible. Once you learn the mechanics and how to's of the game, it becomes not only more fun, but competetive. Another bonus....the STARWARS MOD. HOLY SMOKES. The amount of detail that went into that......the developers/modders deserve the nobel peace price haha. If youre on the fence about this game dont be. Get it and tell all your friends about it. Its addicting and never ending fun!

It is a good game for people starting out for Games like this, because people will teach you how to play as a more teamwork orientied player

good milsim thats easy to get your head around if u cant be bothered spending months just learning basics

Genuinely shoot first and ask questions later, 99 percent of the time, I died cause I wanted to check if that dude in the distance was my teammate.

20 horrible matches in a row but its all worth it for that one, ultra satisfying match.
