I bought squad quite a few months ago, it looks absolutely awesome but I've never played it. Always seemed intimidating playing it With randoms and none of my friends will buy it. How is the game with random people?
Mike B Just play man! Nothing should hold you back. I play with randoms all the time, and it feels like an actual milsim. Trust me, just as long as you don't take role as a squad leader since you're still new, you'll be fine. The only other time I can see your team getting heated is accidental TK's and fucking a vehicle over with your men in it. Don't be intimidated, it's completely worth it.
I only play with randoms, most of the time it's a good time. Only bad experience I've had was last night when a free weekend player (a kid) would not stop talking about random shit on comms. Other than that randoms are good. The community is nice and always welcoming to those who try and communicate
Playing seriously with random people is one of the best things about squad IMO As a person who likes playing with only a few people or by myself, it's nice to join a milsim game without any sign-up process. Wanna do a milsim op in ArmA? Join a clan/milsim unit.Go through training. Download Modpacks. Scheduled Practices. etc. Wanna do a milsim op in Squad? Lol join a server and boom.
One of the best PC and FPS games ive ever played. Realistic, community is legit. I get better and better each time I play, and its always a new experience.
The combat on this map is always different... soooo many options! Usually intense the whole round - insane! Can't wait for the new animations, vaulting and free-look!!!
can't wait to see squad in its full form. Just imagine the possibility with this game. Like snow maps, maybe some light air support like little birds, not anything big like apaches to keep it infantry focused
to om please I was playing Delta force somewhere between 96 and 99. I used to love crawling on snipers and knifing them. it was the 1st game I really felt like I was playing real people with real rage:)
to om damn this is a old comment, but man I still have the cds for the first three as well as own them on steam. I own this game and I have to say this is basically delta force plus more. 10/10 game.
40 on 40 is cool but expect way bigger. when the dev team made project reality, they pushed the battlefield 2 engine to host 75 vs 75 players on gigantic maps with vehicles. That was truly epic.
I swear these gun sounds are super realistic, it's almost addicting to listen to. I really wish this was for console too.. my gaming PC just died after a good 5 years and have no plans on going that far to play games anymore. But I'd probably get a cheapish gaming laptop just for this and ArmA, everything else I can do on PS4.
Connected_Runner ikr. I tried BF, hell no on CoD, and I tried on even CSGO. But this game, finally people decide to play the game the way it's supposed to be played.
The Vigilante You should try Squad's predecessor Project Reality. You won't regret it plus it's free. Just look it up on TH-cam it's just like squad but with more content made by the same devs.
Squad is an amazing game, the only problem is little dropouts from the bootcamp come along because they were too unhealthy to finish training and start acting like sweaty nerds over a bloody monitor.
See this is what I love to see in gaming a bunch of bros roughing it out on the battlefield working together as a team get the mission done I can't wait to do this with you guys man, I'm just currently saving up for a gaming PC can I ask you guys some questions about the build I plan to put together? I would use Reddit but I feel like it'd take quite a while to get a response
TheRealSpyre I don't think so, if you try leaning in real life it almost compares to the game animation but that's just my preference, I do prefer this type of lean over siege
Squad is based on infantry and Light vehicle combat, the maps aren't large enough for Air vehicles and it wouldn't make a fun game for infantry constantly being mowed down by Aircraft. Its the same reason for why MBT havn't been added like the T-90 or the Abrahms because its not going to be fun if everybody gets one shotted across the map by one of those while in a personal carrier. In addition to that the insurgents would only old soviet era tanks like the T-54 or later T-62 or maybe T-80, which wouldn't be balanced, not to mention the Lack of ATGM's or AA missiles. I will mention tho that the idea of maybe including Para-troop spawns could be interesting, where one squad could para-drop onto a location or area, risking being shot while falling and their location being known to be able to capture a point and hold it until their team comes to reinforce.
I've always wanted to play games like this, but the reality is: 1. I have no friends 2. Playing games that require communication in Asia (South East Asia to be specific) is a fucking nightmare.
Either servers are full (with reserves) or near empty. Want to play but every time I go on its the same situation. Joined quiet servers in the hope they fill up but that never seems to happen.
James Guild Free weekends are pretty bad due to the kids that like to come and troll. I would honestly but it during the free weekend sale then wait until the free weekend is over to really get the full experience.
Try Project Reality. www.realitymod.com/downloads#bf2. It is a free game with the same developers as Squad! It is exactly the same, but older and with lower specs!
i love arma 2, or the style of playing over long distances. but atleast in this map and the ones ive seen, theres too much open space kind of like battle grounds, it gets to the point where your hiding way too much and then ull see some one and be shooting at dots. i havnt played this but im just describing what i am seeing. it needa more vivid landscape so you think ur safe one second and then you run into 10 people
and i know its based around mid east style, im pretty sure, but joint operations is a good example. they should force an objective or at least have main bases to loot, even if its just a concept, and then have a giant map with towns and acres of forests/ponds/rock structures surrounding the objectives so teams can literally come from any direction. and maybe even ai camps randomly dispersed for both sides to be a threat or advantage, i just think these games need more life/immersion
I've played this game for more than 1000 hours with randoms(some of them became my friends). And even more with my friends. Don't play games with IRL friends(or from other games) who don't know how to play the game. Play the game and acquire friends, who want to play this specific game and actually know how to play it. If you want to have high quality games, join the clan and play with the same people all the time. Usually people in clan play better than randoms.
Really happy you guys enjoyed the video so much. 60,000 views in ~24hrs might be a new record for the channel! Thanks for the support guys :D
20/20 Eyes
The magic of editing. You cant do that in game.
OperatorDrewski pls make more squad videos
when the map is 2 days old and you know exactly where drewski is at the first frame... well that means you play a bit too much
lol, tell me about it
maitre between nice humble brag
Actually this map is 4 years old. PR BF2 mod players already know it.
maitre between What is the map called?
Scoob al basrah
I bought squad quite a few months ago, it looks absolutely awesome but I've never played it. Always seemed intimidating playing it With randoms and none of my friends will buy it. How is the game with random people?
You've just gotta have a mic. The majority of the players are mature, except during the free weekends.
Mike B Just play man! Nothing should hold you back. I play with randoms all the time, and it feels like an actual milsim.

so true tho and do u like ur new ar15 it looks sick please reply to meh :)
yay more squad!
they exist on the guns but they are not deployable yet.
its in the road map to make bipods work
bipods work in the prone position automatically. they'll probably implement it after they introduce the new animation system.
One of the best PC and FPS games ive ever played. Realistic, community is legit. I get better and better each time I play, and its always a new experience.
this game is so real it's unreal
This map is a much needed addition to the game. Thumbs up.
Thanks
so jealous of people that can run games like this
The combat on this map is always different... soooo many options! Usually intense the whole round - insane! Can't wait for the new animations, vaulting and free-look!!!
the swimming on this game has to be some of the most realistic I've ever seen 👌
4:40 perfect example of "when in doubt, FRAG OUT!"
people checking corners and rooms. calling out bad guys. this looks awesome.
This game is amazing please play it more
can't wait to see squad in its full form. Just imagine the possibility with this game. Like snow maps, maybe some light air support like little birds, not anything big like apaches to keep it infantry focused
Man, now I want to get this game but shit is expensive.
£30 usually, but its actually on sale right now for 50%. So I'm gonna go get it lol. Didn't even realize.
Lord Lunarian I would say it cost way more because to enjoy it at its full beauty, u need a beastly computer
XxRaiderxX I've got an i5 7600K and an RX 480 (budget midrange card), it doesn't need to be that beastly
BlackHairedGoo n you running max graphics?
XxRaiderxX Apart from supersampling, yeah. On populated servers I regularly drop down to around 40FPS when a lot is happening.
When Drew plays support role and is out by himself most times
This game looks like a super pimped Delta Force Black Hawk Down from 2003. To bad nobody of you young guys know this game :D
that game was amazing
to om please I was playing Delta force somewhere between 96 and 99. I used to love crawling on snipers and knifing them. it was the 1st game I really felt like I was playing real people with real rage:)
Tom Jones i started with Land Warrior. You remember the ping times of Novalogic engines? You was the stalion on the field with 150 ms delay.
to om damn this is a old comment, but man I still have the cds for the first three as well as own them on steam.
I own this game and I have to say this is basically delta force plus more.
10/10 game.
40 on 40 is cool but expect way bigger. when the dev team made project reality, they pushed the battlefield 2 engine to host 75 vs 75 players on gigantic maps with vehicles. That was truly epic.
PRTA SISU TEST SERVER 128 players was the best ;)
I swear these gun sounds are super realistic, it's almost addicting to listen to. I really wish this was for console too.. my gaming PC just died after a good 5 years and have no plans on going that far to play games anymore. But I'd probably get a cheapish gaming laptop just for this and ArmA, everything else I can do on PS4.
Nebderf 350zHR Just build a budget PC, dual core Intel (LGA 1151 jic you want a quad core later) and a 1050ti
Drewww, more squad please! This game is amazing.
The first map reminds me of PR. Haven't played it yet in squad. Looks fun!
Its the map Al Basrah from PR so its gonna bring the feel of PR
Jeffie Jeff's Art Well, it is made by the PR team, so...
Jeffie Jeff's Art If you've played pr, you should Def play this man! It's made from the same people that made Pr!
I know. :) I just didn't realise they were bringing PR maps into SQUAD. That's awesome because I loved this map.
I love how realistic the gun sounds in the distance
Sounds Ok'ish on TH-cam.
It sounds much better in the game itself on 5.1 sound system.
Squad with dem sounds and effects whoooooh...
Squad is the first game that i've found where your teammates actually cooperate with eachother!
Connected_Runner ikr. I tried BF, hell no on CoD, and I tried on even CSGO. But this game, finally people decide to play the game the way it's supposed to be played.
The Vigilante You should try Squad's predecessor Project Reality. You won't regret it plus it's free. Just look it up on TH-cam it's just like squad but with more content made by the same devs.
I kinda think the guy leans way to far to the side
Hugh Janis ikr
Hugh Janis Anymore and he'll fall over.
Wow, this is really cool. Reminds me a lot of real combat footage.
If arma 3 ever had squad's sound effects you'll never stop playing
I swear to gawd Drew... You kill so many guys XD
You should definitely upload more of this game
This game is awesome I wish they had it for consoles
Damn, man, I just started playing SQUAD, switching from ArmA and I'm such a noob, and You're actually doing fine, I have a lot of learning, I see.
Squad is an amazing game, the only problem is little dropouts from the bootcamp come along because they were too unhealthy to finish training and start acting like sweaty nerds over a bloody monitor.
how have you not got like 1 Million Subs right now?? Legendary Content!!
are servers still filed in squad or do you have to search for a good one
Love this video man, using my favorite gun along with my favorite optic on that gun, you the man!!!
is this the new squad map?
what is it called?
Al Basrah
Nano hi nano
Only thing I don't like about squad is how far you lean when peeking a corner
See this is what I love to see in gaming a bunch of bros roughing it out on the battlefield working together as a team get the mission done I can't wait to do this with you guys man, I'm just currently saving up for a gaming PC can I ask you guys some questions about the build I plan to put together? I would use Reddit but I feel like it'd take quite a while to get a response
This game looks awesome, but I have to say the leaning looks fucked up. I think they should make the leaning more like Rainbow Six Siege
TheRealSpyre Even just like BF1.
TheRealSpyre I don't think so, if you try leaning in real life it almost compares to the game animation but that's just my preference, I do prefer this type of lean over siege
Who wants air vehicles?
Placidpond9 me but I would keep it to little birds with mini guns tows to keep it more infantry focused
XxRaiderxX Or A10s/Migs
Placidpond9 no

Krautik I guess so, but if it was on PR's scale....
I've always wanted to play games like this, but the reality is:
1. I have no friends
2. Playing games that require communication in Asia (South East Asia to be specific) is a fucking nightmare.
This is _finally_ beginning to look like what Project Reality 2.0 might have been. Aircraft and heavy vehicles will clinch it.
If I had a better computer I would totally play this game... Drewski is the bomb diggity at this game tho. 👌🏻
Jesus that lean, sound of guns are amazing
There should be more games like this.
You are the definition of a bush monster on the second map
What settings are you running squad at?
Either servers are full (with reserves) or near empty. Want to play but every time I go on its the same situation. Joined quiet servers in the hope they fill up but that never seems to happen.
congratz on the new ar-15 man
how about the vaulting feature? was that added?
can't wait for vaulting. Crouch Jumping was so ineffective and exposed you too much.
Drewski your my favorite TH-camr
Can backblast kill?
+SithisGaming yes
Who here's favorite weapon is the M249 SAW? I personally love that gun
just discovered this game and it looks great, however i just missed the free weekend! any chance of another one any time soon?
James Guild Free weekends are pretty bad due to the kids that like to come and troll. I would honestly but it during the free weekend sale then wait until the free weekend is over to really get the full experience.
BubbaTheGreat sounds like a good idea, looks like I'll just have to wait!
Great video Drew!
Happy to see they made a city map
hey man, love ur squad vids! I can't play squad myself, but how far is ur max effective engagement range with the saw in squad? approximately
@StoneMountain64 Should make a gameplay on this!
Are you playing with a clan/friends or is the community actually tactically oriented, so you can play tactically with random people?
You can play tacticaly with randoms. Squad community is very mature.
That sounds good.
Try Project Reality. www.realitymod.com/downloads#bf2. It is a free game with the same developers as Squad! It is exactly the same, but older and with lower specs!
One thing is not clear for me: is the combat in Squad against other players or CPU?
do they have the deployable bipod in the game yet or what?
damn this channel is so operator its even called operator. ultra tacticool
Can you please upload your graphic setting drewski. Thank you alot
Just when Squad was free till Monday... What a coincidence?
i dig these jams fam
What server do you play on? There's quite a few and i don't know which ones are good.
Please do more
I love thos channel soo much ❤
this ^*
Can you show your graphic settings? This game looks great on your computer.... i tested in the free days but I didn´t like the graphics.
N Garcia what are you running it on? Got a i7 7700, with a gtx 1080 8gb, with 16gb of ram. Fucker runs so smooth
Have they optimized squad any better recently?
are they ever going to optimize it for higher end builds?
You, my friend, you deserve WAY MORE subs. Keep up the awesome work ! Would be honor to play with you one day :)
Guns sound awesome in this game.
i love this tactical videos
Good old Project reality maps.They Remastered it very well.
Is Squad only for pc? And where can I buy it
When I watch these vids most of the time I can't even tell what your shooting at
i love arma 2, or the style of playing over long distances. but atleast in this map and the ones ive seen, theres too much open space kind of like battle grounds, it gets to the point where your hiding way too much and then ull see some one and be shooting at dots. i havnt played this but im just describing what i am seeing. it needa more vivid landscape so you think ur safe one second and then you run into 10 people

Game worth it without friends?
DEATHWATCH GUY you'll make friends
DEATHWATCH GUY definitely
once you find a good server, you'll play with the same people alot.
Pfft, play as russian with ww2 strats. URAAA AAAAAA
I've played this game for more than 1000 hours with randoms(some of them became my friends). And even more with my friends.
Don't play games with IRL friends(or from other games) who don't know how to play the game. Play the game and acquire friends, who want to play this specific game and actually know how to play it.
If you want to have high quality games, join the clan and play with the same people all the time. Usually people in clan play better than randoms.
Finally a good map ;D
yo, hows performance on this map?
what map is this? is it not out yet
Robert Vigil It's Al Basrah which is just a recreated fan favorite from Project Reality.
Is it in the game now? Im totally gonna play all day when i get back from vegas
Played it. Posting A video when i get home from work
drewski, you like The ar15 matt gave ya?
The game with the best sounding guns.
Will there be destructible walls in the future of Squad?
Al Basrah but no Brits? Let's hope they're coming soon
where do you did these servers? every one i go to no one speaks English and the maps are so far away most of the time I'm walking
Games fun love the realism but the geeks man they be like "CHARLIE ALPHA BRAVO 12:00 BUST A NUT" and It's funny to me lol
if i had to choose between getting arma 3 or squad, what should i get?
Fooux Arma
Fooux Squad, because there is no fucking dlc bullshit like the amount Arma 3 has.
Thanks, just got it yesterday and i got subnautica too.
Drew, do you like your Demo Ranch AR?
kinda remind me of American army but just bigger sandbox and a bit more intense
Opinions on Squad vs Arma 3?
all squad needs now is destructible environments
the ak 47 sound is just like real life
Can u hold the grenade a bit longer?
Yes. You can hold it as long as you want.
Where do u get this game?
Ethan Alonso steam
I have like 20 hrs in this game gotta get back into it.
What map/server is this
how do you hold the gun so steady on f.a?
Yo man when are these updates coming. Ps i just got the game after i watch u play it i suck u gota show me the ropes man. Just waiting on a headset
