Just got this game - What am I in for?
Squad
Fucking epic tense battles and great fun meeting new people using mic.
This is the non meme answer.
why not just fucking play it faggot
it's retarded how I cannot play 50% of european servers because you germans and french refuse to talk english like normal people
a lesson in being tricked by shills
40 hours of dying to invisible enemies
then you git gud and gunfire is just an inconvenience
Genuinely the best multiplayer shooter since battlefield 2142
This.
shitty netcode, boring gameplay, lots of tacticool old men who suck dick at games
if youre playing on lowest settings and happen to steal the class which has a proper optic you can get insane KDR because the other default classes are so gimped
its a really lame fps and only drunk military larpers like it
oh yeah and there's completely client side hit detection meaning you can kill and be killed without seeing someone
Supression works though user, its not just a visual effect anymore. Hitting a machinegunner supressing you at range is near impossible.
it's like insurgency without the fun
It's like Insurgency except optimised.
This is coming from someone who has played and loved insurgency since the mod.
This poster got booty blasted and made fun of
Good to see people make definitive judgements on their one time experience from years ago.
Almost all classes now have access to optics, including medics, ATs, grenadiers.
its like insurgency but with replay value.
i meant source, not insurgency: shitstorm
The average squad match is like the average soccer match. Nothing ever really happens
better keep playing the game every single day so that one of my minor points is still valid
i wonder if i log on right now will i still be able to exploit the netcode and kill multiple enemies around corners before they can see me?
Whats the appeal of Insurgency? The commercial version is already neutered compared to the mod with even less depth, its essentially a wave based call of duty.
>Swim across a river with my squad in early access back in 2016
>Total overall playtime of 5 minutes so far
>Get shot at by someone behind some rocks 200 yards away ahead of us
>We shoot back
>Blue on blue reeeee
>The one person we were firing on runs up to us
>its a squeaker
>Says sorry and wants to follow us
>Sure yeah ok no hard feelings kiddo
>5.56 seconds later i notice squeaker has whipped out a grenade
>I move farther down the bank and mention hes got a grenade out
>hear him pull the pin
>Squaddie shoots him point blank in the face
>People cant get over the bank fast enough out of the water
>SL and the rest of the group blow up besides myself and one other new guy.
Kinda wish i didnt refund it, but at the same time, I wasnt exactly having fun either.
getting one tapped by pixels laying in bushes and minute long walks to the frontline, only to get sprayed down by your monkey teammates.
>i wonder if i log on right now will i still be able to exploit the netcode and kill multiple enemies around corners before they can see me?
The funny thing is, when people type this shit its just cope because in reality you got buttblasted by someone killing you you didn't see. Always blame the netcode buddy
no i am saying that because i was cheating and killing people around corners by manipulating my connection. the people that play that game are not good at fps games and are probably dumb enough to not lower the gfx settings. cheating in it is just as boring as playing it, though
insurgency is a better medium of tacticool realism and being actually playable than gay milsim games where you go 10+ mins without seeing any action regularly
>insurgency is a better medium of tacticool realism and being actually playable than gay milsim games where you go 10+ mins without seeing any action regularly
Nobody considers it to be a milsim. The devs call it a tactical shooter, the playerbase mocks people trying to roleplay.
The fact that you think Squad is a milsim just shows how much of an ADHD zoomer you are.
wow thats meaningful
>he puts himself in positions where he sees infantry
>not chilling in the autistic fob with your mortar bros racking up IFV and accidental treadmills
you sound like a r6s player desu maybe you bought the wrong game
...
>Two months ago
>Am medic for an infantry squad
>Pushing alongside another squad into a city
>Tight corners everywhere, very quiet, SL is seasoned and gets us deeper into the city
>"Visual contact, bearing two-ten"
>ass puckers
>idiot rifleman insists they're friendly, causing us to pause
>we stare at pixels that are staring back at us
>AR gets on his belly "They're not fucking friendly"
>massive firefight ensues, eyes wide open, SL gets picked off before he made it to cover, his upper torso is within my revive range
>"don't worry chief, I got you," as bullets are impacting the ground just inches from my face
squad is legit
he right tho
didn't they give acogs to almost every loadout in some recent patch or something?
Low TTK shooters are for casual LARPers.
>wow thats meaningful
It is.
Call of duty maps are literally larger than Insurgency. It's a casual shooter with a minimalistic hud and tiny maps, with a US miltary vs Insurgent setting somehow confusing people that its a tactical shooter.
Anyone calling it a "a better medium of tacticool realism" is a fucking moron.
Insurgency has about zero realism.
well just letting op know what the gameplay consists of: not a whole dang lot. less than 10% of the time played are you actually doing anything
if youre some sort of mil guy looking for an "immersive experience" youre just going to get gayed by people tryharding with low gfx and good aim (people like me) and spend a lot of time doing nothing/traveling to points
its a label, who cares? 1 hit kill gameplay is some gay "realism" attempt that doesnt really translate to fun gameplay online when netcode is so ubiquitously bad
also pretty sure insurgency was spawned by a mod called "project reality"
you can carry in insurgency like in csgo, so u don't have to suffer because of noob teammates although of course u need them to cap
Dang, you're PRETTY sure? Because you're COMPLETELY wrong, that is embarrassing. Squad is the game based off Project Reality, and Project Reality is a battlefield 2 mod.
Newfags get off my vidya. You could at least use google before spouting wrong shit.
dull, predictable game.
oh, and cocksucker devs. Any player that thinks squad is a good game is likely a newer player still in the honeymoon phase. The game is boring.
amazing
A whole lot of sitting on your ass, walking, driving and getting shot at from across the map. Boring majority of the time, great less of the time. You'll meet a lot of soldier boys that tell stories about how their FOB got blown up and Taliban stormed with RPGs and suicide vests.
its a label and doesnt matter anyway
But you used the wrong label. If it doesn't matter why'd you bring it up.
This. People keep playing the game, and always think that something interesting will happen during a match -but it never ever does.
That's why you see the squad Yea Forums shill every once in a while that spams the SAME webms, and the SAME pics about this shit game.
Its dull, repetitive gameplay makes matches predictable -to which the general community calls it a "meta". Matches are usually done within the first 10 minutes of a game but are drawn out for roughly 30-60 minutes more with nothing significant happening.
And the "devs" are incompetent, they've demonstrated this multiple times.
Sit in a bush on the flank
Kill everyone without being found
okay since its really important ill concede you got the labels right and i didnt
still not a fun game and theres like 2 people in here defending it (probable advertising shills) and like 6 who say it sucks. or maybe its fun if youre a boomer alcoholic or really young and every game is fun anyway
I'm not that user and I actually actively kind of dont like Insurgency. I just don't see how anyone could confuse it for realistic, have you seen the games slide feature? Lol. '
It is also hitscan at ranges under 25 or 50meters. Big realism.
>It is also hitscan at ranges under 25 or 50meters. Big realism.
what do you think the travel time is for projectiles on rifles at that range dude? wtf? how does that matter at all?
>French guy thinks talking louder means you will understand him now.
Bro if it didn't make a difference why is it there? It 100% makes the game play differently. I'm not even saying it is a bad thing, I'm just saying it is not realistic and has a noticeable effect. I don't even think being realistic is a good thing but that is not relevant to the argument.
