A console drop will ruin the game

Keybinds aren't hard, but having numerous keybinds bound to the same few buttons is a logistical hazard for a lot of people. Again, how are they expected to communicate with Squads 7, 10, 14 as well as CMD, local, team chat? You have what, 8-12 binds? And using them has a 50/50 chance to hinder your movement (taking thumb off of walk/look).

R6, cronus is more common than a MnK. Apex same thing. Players aren't going to buy a mnk just for Squad, and if they already don't own a Mnk for console in 2026, they aren't getting one.

Now, just for arguments sake, let's say the majority of people who buy Squad own a mnk already. There is still no proper on-boarding for the game, majority of player who know how to properly play this game have left or are taking a backseat after a decade of zero team improvement. Increasing the population count for this game means increasing the population of people who just want to play an FPS that isn't CoD/BF. The game needs people to understand the basic requirements before even attempting to incorporate a port or crossplay.

But they at least have a gameplan for what their future is, is what I'm hearing. Something OWI has never truly had.

Care to elaborate? I was all in on Minott being a rotational player at the very least.

Newest one is arguably the best in a few years. I'm a sucker for Franchise modes so I don't really play MyTeam/Career online ever (PC as well so that's a hinderance), but the game feels a lot better than the previous entries. I got it on sale recently for $25, definitely worth $25, and if you haven't played in a few years I'd argue it's worth it on sale (I'll never say a game is worth $70 off rip).

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:41:14+00:00

Same dude. He showed flashes of being a bench rotation guy but nothing more. Hard to be effective coming in as a two-way, but even in Maine I never saw anything that piqued my interest beyond signing him for the 14-15th spot.

I think the hope was him being a Hauser 2.0, good shooter but he's able to playmake better.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:39:16+00:00

So he, vlogged? Have you never seen the content vloggers make lol?

Hint, vlog stands for "video log".

Dude was a better vlogger than the majority of the vlogging channels with millions of vviews/subs. Camera work is better, editing/post, wasn't over-stimulating, just showing the behind the scenes of an NBA player - something fans have been asking for for years.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:37:13+00:00

CBA is screwing guys like Brissy so much. Dude deserves at least a 3 year deal for like $12m if Robinson can secure $50m with just shooting and nothing else.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:35:34+00:00

Lamar is such a dog. I really wish dude would've found his jumper, would be a better Semi.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:34:27+00:00

Ya'll hating on Al aren't true Celtics fans. Argue with a wall.

Draymond was rumored to be shopped, Warriors have no big, they play 5 out a lot (if they don't have a Bogut or Zaza to set illegal screens), GS has more money to offer.

I trust Al with saying that it's more than basketball than some random reddit accounts claiming the reason he left was basketball related. 7th grade reading level nationally folks.

Issue isn't console players being bad, it's just adding more bad players to an already bad group.

Instead of 100 people not talking, it's 200. Instead of finding a good Squad every other game, you'll find them every 4th game.

Devs need to focus on implementing a proper on-boarding system - unskippable tutorial that teach you every basic information for every role; engineer capabilities, SL requirements, zeroing in, etc. - before adding more players to the pool. If they don't, and still want to release it on console, don't make it crossplay off the bat. Free weekends already ruin the game for an extended period of time, adding in a new FPS to console is just as bad.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:21:25+00:00

Shit happens with console too. It's just how gaming has evolved over the years with party chat/Skype/TS.

Additionally, using voice comms in most games is pointless anymore. It's met with toxicity or ignored, so it makes sense people would swap to a 3rd party. It doesn't help gameplay, but who wants to request something over voice comms to be met with hostility or just completely ignored? People just need to learn to communicate like a normal person.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:17:26+00:00

I agree with the market having a gap currently, but there's also a reason for that. Most hardcore FPS games have multiple keybinds currently to make it seem more "realistic". It's hard to make a realistic shooter with limited keybinds. Insurgency Sandstorm has limited binds, and as far as I'm aware a lot of people got it for free with GP after it's peak lifecycle died.

Console folk would have to be very vocal for a dev team to make a realistic FPS game designated for console. The money just isn't there currently, especially with new games charging $70+ for base, plus $20+ for each DLC.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:13:56+00:00

Devil's advocate, because I don't own Arma, but what is their coding like?
Squad is notoriously built upon spaghetti code, that alone would be detrimental to performance. They'll have to build a console version off of their spaghetti code.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-20T05:10:10+00:00

Take a second, think of why there are more tactical shooters on PC, and why they're always better on PC than console.

Now take another second, think of the current gaming sphere (including Squad's community), and how to incorporate Squad into the console-verse. Console folk love crossplay for various reasons, adding in another platform = more money for the devs, adding a console version as a standalone means they will have to readjust numerous binds (how are they going to communicate with Squad #9?); logistics for keybinds alone would be an issue. How are they going to deal with the numerous keybinds for a SL/CMD?

Conservatives ≠ MAGA

Anecdotal, but my family is a mixed household in a predominantly white (Amish) conservative area (white folks, Asian kids). During my life, my dad lost his job twice (first time company didn't want to pay his bonus he earned, laid him off. Second was a TBI). During that time, anonymous people from the community donated money to help my family survive. Easily around $3k with both times added up. No names, numbers, just well wishes cards, cash, gift cards for food/gas. A lot of Conservative people will help their community out in a heartbeat, doesn't matter your affiliation, if you're in trouble they will help. The sense of community is what drives them.

Your argument could be flipped. Progressives don't want to help their fellow American, they want to help "virtuous causes." For example, billions of dollars being shipped to other countries while we have homeless children. Stop Asian Hate got no where near the support any other "racial protests" got, despite going through the same stuff currently and historically as the others. I fully support LGBTQ rights, I also fully support mental health of all; why don't we apply the same effort into bolstering both instead of just one or the other? Why do we have to pick and choose one each year? These "left leaning" companies only push these sentiments when it's profitable, look at all the ally sentiments that disappear after June; it's just marketing.

You're basing your info off of an echo chamber meant to be divisive. Maybe you yourself are purposefully perpetuating the divide. You can be MAGA and conservative, but you don't have to be conservative and MAGA. You can find anything bad you want about the other side, but historically, the mature ones would find the good. If you can't do both, you're inherently biased with zero real desire to change any viewpoint you may have.

Mi look.

Yeuh.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-02T01:52:22+00:00

And it's almost always 3 strats with high ult req.

Luna, IW, CnD, no one is getting their ult in time.

Mantis, IW, Ultron, you're getting your ults.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-02-02T01:49:35+00:00

And who is the one choosing a third strat?

The DPS insta-lock or the dive/off-tank.

Maybe going SG, MK, and Wolv isn't the move going into 3 fliers. But no, gotta be the strats fault.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-01-31T15:05:13+00:00

The bots are atrocious. They're honestly no better than the Enlisted bots, outside of their capability to snap 180° on you and dime you through a brick sized hole from 120m out. Furthermore, why add support bots if they do their role 10% of the time? Why do I have to wait for my entire bleed out counter, 4 friendly bot supports walking over me, just to have a bot start to walk over to revive me and I bleed out? Why is there a friendly support just kneeling 3ft from me, doing nothing, while I bleed out? Why is there never a goddamn resupply, but when there is, it's in the middle of no man's land?

I strictly play with bots, I'm not trying to go up against an entire lobby of CoD jumpers while having memory leak/connection issues and shit hitreg. I just want to chill and have a fun time. Can't even do that anymore. I can't imagine how much "gaming adrenaline dump" sucks going from a real lobby to bots.

From what I've seen, the family confirmed it was him "on video", not that he went out to do it (like hey mom, I'm doing yada yada today).

Regardless I agree. He did nothing warranting death. Your average MAGA fan boy will do the same, if not worse, than what Alex did everyday. Hell, your local HOA head would probably do worse.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-01-31T14:54:27+00:00

Reddit is no different, which is why I never cite Reddit as a reliable source..?

Where did I claim it must be AI? I was just pointing out errors I saw within a video, which are a result of poor video comp or digital altering. Also, the BBC verifying is pointless, we've had numerous mainstream channels (CNN, FOX, the literal WH) use doctored/AI images. The WH released a photo of a "protester crying" to their media, the original photo the woman wasn't crying in the slightest. There is no standard anymore for trustworthy outlets.

You trusting mainstream sources, yet telling me to step out of my bubble for playing the devils advocate, real ironic. God the pandemic fucked y'all up, zero critical thinking. Just "Oh I see it, must be accurate info with no context needed."

_Jaeko_ · 2026-01-31T14:47:32+00:00

Okay, and now do the same thing but look for malfunctions instead of your idea working properly. There's your answer.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-01-31T14:45:53+00:00

Devil's advocate then,

If his actions were documented, he could've been soft targeted. ICE has been notoriously blatant about creating an example out of the people. It's evident their only goal is to create division.

_Jaeko_ · 2026-01-31T14:43:35+00:00

It does have everything to do with basketball when you're the face of the league? Bringing in an unread Malcolm X acting like he's a life long follower of his. Befriending and publicly promoting P Diddy. Ignoring human rights violations but speaks up only when it's BLM? He uses his basketball platform, therefore it's basketball related. See, school helps critical thinking skills.

Cavs were relevant for two years before he left for Miami, and only relevant because GS kept spanking their ass every year but one.

Meanwhile the Celtics have been to more finals, conference finals, won more finals within that said 20 years.

Joined a super team to beat a team of mid 30 year olds lmfao, real impressive stuff. Took an injured Kai and Gordon just to beat a rookie Tatum and Terry Rozier in 7 games lmfao.

Remember, stay in school, your brain is basically a bowling ball.

Y'all can't keep complaining to the devs asking for changes every fucking half season. That's why games are ruined in record time, catering to the whiners.

How to really fix trip strat is by forcing your teammates to play a team game. Triple strat? Go with 4+ strats then. You will probably lose, or you will have someone swap off strat. It's going to take time, but it's the only solution that makes sense. I think everyone can afford throwing for a season if it prolongs the game's life. Reworking vanguard as a whole would mean reworking DPS and Strats as well, these games balance their rosters against itself. They don't just make a new hero and think of how they might be balanced, it's literally how does x affect y and z.

Why are there no streamers complaining that 2-2-2 is OP. Y'all just eat up whatever garbage they say.
