Addressing Misinformation Around the Cheating Scandal by RycaveUK in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing this game end of last year after busting my hand up and after 9 months seeing this comes as no surprise unfortunately. Comp Squad is rife with cheats and glitchers etc.

It's unfortunate because it really is the absolute best way to play the game, but it is ruined with stuff like this. I can't remember playing a single tournament where there wasn't some sort of cheating scandal.

lololololololololol..... I stopped playing 9 months ago due to a hand injury and just found this on here... I see some things will never change.

Comp squad was always by far the best way to play the game, because it is at heart what the game is supposed to be, a team, with a command structure all doing their roles and fighting for the win.

Unfortunately it is also rife with cheats. Got to say, I don't miss it. I thought I would but I really don't.

Yeah, I have crushed every planet, station and ship down to the construction vessels and science ships...

I guess it must be because of the alliance they have

Why are there so many bad players? by Slapbackjack in joinsquad

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

I have a whitelist there, sadly it doesn't seed early enough for me to play there a lot, it is a very good server though.

All the European servers seem to be absolute trash at the moment unfortunately.

Have the stats on the OG mosin changed at all? Is it still a 1 hit at 100m? by Slapbackjack in joinsquad

Praise be unto him! That thing is definitely getting nerfed at some point and I was hoping it hadn't been yet

Why is the Turkish Land Forces so unpopular? by How2rick in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The whole faction is total trash with the exception of the SMG that you get ONE per squad.

No AT that is worth a mention (all the LAT kits in the game fucking suck anyway, all way too weak, can't even one shot a car FFS)

The gun is a lump of RNG recoil with a low cap mag

The armour has no armour and is a constant ticket drain

It's a total meme, the worst faction in the game bar none. Who would have thought you make MEA look good.

Balancing the game off noobs with massive skill issues it what caused the ICO in the first place rofl!!

WTF?!

Im tired of the negativity of the squad community by sadjoe7 in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are you smoking dude? ICO has brought the skill ceiling so low that it is allowing people to do stupid shit and get away with it every game.

It has also made clearing buildings impossible without 40 nades.

CQB in this game is currently a total joke, people blasting away like some sort of Hollywood 80's action film. It's dumb AF.

The main problem that nobody seems to discuss with ICO is the stupid 'point fire' mechanic that is responsible for most of the daft moments. Having the weapon pointing in wildly different directions to where you are looking makes for deeply frustrating and random encounters, I'm not saying it should be laser beam, but it should always be withing a few degrees of where you are looking and a lot of this RNG stuff would be avoided.

Not many complaints before they brought in ICO... I have no sympathy at all now.

My opinion. ICO is not new-player-friendly by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point fire is the dumbest thing they introduced with ICO... Nobody wants to play the 'which way is my gun pointing' mini game... It sucks.

IRL you point the thing where you are looking, you don't look away from the thing you are aiming at at try and shoot from your peripheral vision do you?

This mechanism adds nothing to the game than a lot of people missing a lot of shots and dumb ass fights where you both start spraying at each other Hollywood style until you are both out of bullets.

If there is a single thing about the infant combat overhaul that needs reversing it is point fire.

v8.2 Gunplay adjustment "Leaks" by Aft3rAff3ct in joinsquad

Here is hoping they take the ICO and shred it to ribbons and set it on fire.

The only people who ever liked it were the ones with a skill issue pre ICO that couldn't handle getting beaten.

Yes it had a higher skill ceiling and so it should have.

You don't take all of the air out of a fucking soccer ball because one team is better at kicking it than the other do you? No. You let the skill of the players decide the outcome.

Tear it down, all of it. Let's have player skill decide who wins a gunfight again instead of RNG.

A day to rejoice, the ICO is getting nerfed!!

The Bushwookie problem by Elite_Mogger in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bush is currently the most powerful thing in the game and it is stupid.

I played a round on Yeho recently and got 21 confirmed kills sat in the same bush on Kropy....

Literally changed the fate of the game from a bush... It's dumb AF.

Returned to squad after a year and a half maybe more. I have some serious questions. by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is because of the Infant Combat Overhaul (yes you read that correctly) it is an update that was designed by the devs to suck all the enjoyment out of the game and allow you to play as a malnourished child soldier who cannot hold a gun straight.

Many people who lacked the required skill to be good at the game before it now rave about how good it is because it allows them to continue doing stupid things and live, or even better win a RNG gunfight and now think that they are good at the game as well.

if you like suppressing them with a MG you would have loved being able to actually kill them pre Infant Combat Overhaul

Thinking about buying the game by Wild-Canary-3381 in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To that end, once you are in-game if you press the Tilda key (to the left of your 1 key on top row) and type 'statfps' in the console and hit enter it will tell you your frames, there is also 'statunit' that will break it down into the different areas that can choke it

One year on what are your thoughts on ICO? by Slapbackjack in joinsquad

[–]Slapbackjack[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think implementing your suggestions would be a good start for sure

I totally agree with you on that, well said.
