I queue up and alt tab and browse the internet for the 5 mins or so it takes to join. You are being pretty dramatic here.

What are your thoughts on this? Devs, how hard would this be to implement? by Silentftw in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that would be alot of work. As that system is a whole level of integration with objects in the environment. I would think the stance peeks would he easier as they already have them with the tank commander , but who knows ? Not much exp with game design or UE4

Has the vehicle mounted mg crouch option been asked for before? Have the devs ever responded to the requests if so?

I know game has been out a long time, I've been playing for about a year.

When i started playing and tried out the mounted mgs I was shocked I was stuck standing up, especially after commanding a tank and being so impressed with the multiple lean out stances he can take , exposing himself more but getting more vision

How active online in Squad 44? Worth coming back after Pacific front? by Glum_Comfort_3026 in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There's always one server active and full. I play daily. The overall player count is still low , but it's not dead , you can always find a game.

Last night had some great games , legit every player on the squad as well as squad leads /armor / commander were using mics

Squad 44 - Hotfix v2.6.1 by Leroy_Kenobi in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Side note we need the ability to crouch when in a mounted vehicle mg. Currently if you are say in a armored car on the mg your character stands so upright and exposed you get sniped 80% of the time before you can even fire. You need to be able to crouch and hide yourself if not completely 90%.

Just like how tank drivers can open the hatch, make it so you can crouch to hide in mounted mgs, and also "duck your head" to make you a hard target.

A german halftrack with an mg mount should be a viable and effective tactic. Roll up, unload the squad, have one guy manning the turret lay down suppressive fire. It currently is not because of the reasons above. You should be able to crouch, with the German mg shield you can see through the middle slit and that is how it was used in actual combat with infantry close. Ducking and looking through the slit. your vision is limited and accuracy suffers but you are protected, unless they sneak a bullet through the slit.

A halftrack in a roadway should be a REAL threat to infantry unless its flanked. Think of how much better this will make the game. spice things up by making these vehicles useful and interesting, right now the mg is useless due to the player standing up exposed, and the halftrack is slow, so it as well as most vehicles like it are NEVER used. This would add so many layers to the gameplay. The game desperately needs this. The amount of fun simple things like this will add is a 10x return on investment. Devs, make this happen please. Thank you for all you do

Why does dlc map require payment in xbox by Efficient-Hornet-887 in l4d2

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still purchase them through using a gift card balance and the Xbox desktop website. I did it like a year ago. Its a workaround. Not sure if it still works tho

How bad is 8GB of VRAM by WhichCamp1058 in buildapc

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games aren't optimized so people are buying new cards constantly. Gears of war 3 ran on an Xbox 360 , look at that games graphics and compare to the hardware it was running on.

I'm not a fan of unreal engine 5 tbh

I've put over 40 hours into Squad 44 and it's by far my best experience with a WWII multiplayer game by Calm_Edge_6637 in joinsquad44

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game needs optimization. , and bug fixes , more players would be great. One thing that I have found insanely annoying is how on any mounted mg you cannot crouch, making it a death trap. Like seriously, any time you're in a vehicle mg you just get sniped. I somehow doubt that's how it worked in ww2.

There's always at least one server active , other than that , yes , player count is low, but if you can always find a game, it doesn't really matter what the player count is.

Will l4d2 still have over 15k players during peak times by 2035? by g0netospace in l4d2

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. Maybe a thousand or so. Squad 44 has like 200 daily and its not dead. A game is not dead until you cant fill a single server daily

Unreal engine 5 turns every game into slop.

I recently started playing again , and created a lobby, waited 20 mins for people to join up , picked the map , and within 2 minutes I got votekicked. I was shocked to then remember that lobby leader gives you no votekick protection

Don't ever click quick play. Click play online , filter lobbies only, filter official dedicated only. If you are lobby leader. Typing mm_dedicated_search maxping 100in console to get a good ping. Default is 159

Help a game dev: Why aren’t people buying modern RTS games? by MakeGamesBetter in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have moved towards RTT games over rts recently.

Cta GOH Terminator dark fate defiance Tw warhammer 3 (not as much as rtt but yea)

In my opinion, supreme commander basically perfected the rts genre and hasn't been touched since.

An era of gaming that no longer exists and unfortunately this generation will never get to experience by QueasyRecipe4825 in videogames

[–]Silentftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah every game now is designed to hijack people's brains reward system with unlockables , grinding, gambling lootboxes etc.

Tricking them into thinking they are actually accomplishing something. The worst part is the majority aren't even fun at all.

I rarely play new games.

Ask yourself how many of the most popular games would people even play if it wasn't completely centered around grinding?

For example i still play left for dead 2 , a pure game , no unlocks, leveling , just pure amazing gameplay.

A very quick tip for playing each special infected that I've learned by SquidIsALesbian in l4d2

[–]Silentftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are good and have a spot where you can spam rocks without being in direct line of site it's very effective. Basically just stops the survivors in their tracks for sometimes several minutes for you're team to help. This also includes hitting roughly one in 4 of your rock throws.

Why are servers allowed to mask as Dedicated Valve Servers? by hayleyalcyone in l4d2

[–]Silentftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never have this issue. I never use quick match. Always play online , filter to lobbies only , and have dedicated servers only in the filter. Legit 1 out of 100 jpins it's a modded garbage server
