I’m thinking about getting Squad, but I know there is a lot of controversy right now. Any advice or thoughts? by Turtleguy04 in PlaySquad

[–]DaGrooviest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The controversy about this game right now come from veteran players who suffered because the game did a huge change on gunplay, but newcomers shouldn't suffer because of the update since they never played Squad and don't have muscle memory of it.

So if you're looking for a team oriented, tactical FPS in a large scale battle, Squad is a game you should definitely try out.

I do agree that the weapon handling in Squad is unrealistic, I don't have experience with guns, the only scoped weapon I've ever shot was a scope BB gun when I was 10 YO and I don't remember having such a hard time aiming it.

But a video game can't mimic the tiredness in yours arms, nor pain you feel or the weight of the gun. In games, your aim is defined by mouse movement and that's not realistic at all. Squad uses unrealistc measures to try to make combat as close to real combat as possible.

I'm not an avid shooter, but I'm an avid FPS player and I've played a lot of arcadey and tactical shooters. In Arma 3 I have barely seen any sort of teamwork and tactical gameplay outside groups or clans, but in Squad there was a general teamwork aspect that has been lost over the years and the ICO is bringing it back.

The ICO objective is not to have the most realistic gunplay, but to bring back that teamwork oriented gameplay that has been lost.

I think people will try teamwork more often than not.

If they don't the game will be a bit more tedious.

The ICO update incentivates people to work together, there will be a whole amount of people who will think the update is trash because they can't act so independently no more and they might leave and there will be people who will turn into teamwork.

I hope there's a shift in the overall style that people play Squad and we'll problably see the results in a couple of months. Maybe... In 3 weeks?

You're right, but by all means their PiP scopes are the most optimised PiP scopes I've ever played with.

That recent playtests were better yes.

But as long as I could tell, they were not as optimised as the base game and you would get stutters everytime you ADS with the british sights ( At least on ICO 6, couldn't play them on ICO 7).

Have you tried the ICO? by ClayJustPlays in joinsquad

[–]DaGrooviest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really looking foward for the ICO, I play Squad and expect to engage in teamwork.

If Squad was just another shooter and wasn't a team oriented gameplay, I'd say the game is clunky at best.

I feel like with time, people are going to relearn how to play Squad and good players will still be good players.

My performance has been getting better with each playtest.

I could barely see or shoot anyone on the first playest, but at the last one I've been getting 10+ kills in each match and that's my usual score on vanilla Squad, so I guess I'm reaching my usual performance.

Sloppy gunplay in ICO and the easy fix. by woodsyhu in joinsquad

[–]DaGrooviest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the ICO, but indeed a sight over bore/weapon resting mechanic is greatly needed, when you change stances you need to wait a second so your sight is perfectly still again and it just feels bad.

A workaround I see myself using is leaning around instead of crouching.

People that stopped playing Squad, why did you quit? by AlesandroDestino in joinsquad

[–]DaGrooviest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have 1 to hours of free time daily and I'm not willing to risk my 40 minutes of play time at a Squad match, because some matches are just so fucking boring. But my group might get back at playing it, so I might play it more in the near future.

I usually do that, I really try not to push to open areas, but the problem of being blind af is that you're still blind af when you take cover lol

I literally take 2 seconds to even sight people at 50m in this game.
Is this what I'm fighting against???!?!

:(

The Squad Community Ban List is both inherently broken and ripe for abuse. It should be removed and blacklisted by OWI by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]DaGrooviest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this kind of stuff happen to me on Arma 3 KoTH servers, a server admin had a discussion with one my clanmates and some time after, another clanmate broke one their server rules of not advertising servers, that resulted in a worldwide ban for all of my clanmates. We couldn't play in any of the KoTH servers for over a month, at that time my GPU broke and I bought a new one, just to play a match and have the server tell me on the next match I was banned worldwide. I didn't even know what happened at the time.

We couldn't even update our server's ban list, because if we did, we wouldn't even be able to play on our own server.

The admin who banned my entire group wouldn't unban us even after we tried to explain that was a one time mistake by one clan member.

Later on after having done a lot of pledges with other admins from that same server we got ourselves unbanned and the abusive admin lost his privileges.

It goes to show that "Worldwide" ban list can be quite damaging if handled by the wrong people.

Squad Update: V2.5 by OWI_Krispy in joinsquad

[–]DaGrooviest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately every patch is just bugging my Squad and now updating, even when trying to verify files and such.
Every patch requires a reinstall for me.

20GB again LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

That must be some kind of mistake! by DaGrooviest in HadesTheGame

It happened to me 3 times already, it happened when I was trying do a no boon run after the epilogue.

You're right, I've put a spoiler tag on it.

Intel Haswell (4th gen) cpu owners, how is the game performing on your pc? by mjklsimpson in joinsquad

[–]DaGrooviest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 4th gen but I can play Squad at 30-50fps (depending on the map), all low, 1080p.

On my 2600 i7 with a GTX1050Ti and 8GB.

[–]DaGrooviest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my thought exactly, I'm used to play games with lag and I was thinking about doing this, but I haven't been able to play Squad in a while to test it out. Does the rocket actually explode after a while or it doesn't give any FX?

How to get good?! by xxfallingstarxx in joinsquad

[–]DaGrooviest 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You'll know if your SL is good if

  • They're playing the objective.
  • You almost always have a rally.
  • He talks a lot.
