Squad and Arma III are 2 amazing realistic military shooters. But which one is right for you? And why do I think Squad is generally the better option? Well, now you know!
Also, keep in mind this video is comparing the game's MULTIPLAYER aspects since Squad does not have single-player or co-op.

#Arma#VS#Squad - เกม
I honestly find most of my fun from arma just making my own single player scenarios. I rarely ever play multiplayer much in arma. I have both games and I prefer arma mainly just because I can be creative and make whatever I want to. While squad sometimes feels limiting. But it honestly really depends on the person.
Yah Squad is definitely more limiting than Arma especially in singleplayer seeing as its basically nonexistent in Squad. Squad is good if you want to pick up and play a "mil-sim", but Arma is awesome if you want more depth and freedom. I need to try more Arma singleplayer now that you mention it.
@@Popmandoop yeah, the majority of my hours in arma come from just playing single player and making my own scenarios. Of course it isn't for everyone though. I definitely agree with your video mentioning how squad is far more accessible to most people.
Nice. Bought it on sale last weekend. I went straight to the editor. I have 10 hours of Eden to my 1 play through of just the Prologue.
It is a hard work to be able to enjoy arma, personaly I am a single player, because the game is very demanding on resources and I do not stand a chance with other players as i get 30fps at most OFFLINE and countrary to what everyone says it matters, especially if you are approached in a close combat... aside from that the control system is very slugish and counter intuitive, like you sometimes really need to overthink in order to make the simplest infantry movements and the whole keyboard is to be used... I tried multiplayer once and I do not know if I may call MP comunity toxic but, I wasn't satisfied with them, since the game takes a lot of time till you get into action (if you do at all) most of the experience online will be just chitchating to some random guys about things that aren't related to the game at all which anyone can basically do on discord anyways.. and it messes with my focus which is crucial for thinking about strategy, besides if you are a newbie everyone will make sure to give you a burnout because no mistake in the game is tolerable which is paradoxical because you really need to be a pro to never make mistakes in this game.... I think I should try squad out, for me it looks a bit similar to Project Reality BF2 mod but much better, the world is smaller than ARMAs but more vivid and more realistic as I can see.. that matters to me
Arma 3 is fun if you have friends you can play with in multiplayer and play with only them in COOP using voice ip...
Play Squad sometimes just for fun, and I’ll play Arma3 for when I have a shit load of time on my hands and am looking for some modded campaign run thru with the boys. The Zeus game mode in Arma 3 is also incredibly fun. Imagine, instead of an AI controlling game scenarios, it’s a person.
Yes! This is the right balance for these games! (And yes Zeus is awesome!)
I like to think that Arma 3 and Squad are in the same universe, different wars in different regions, same planet
I was playing arma 3 fo ryears and I just realized that squad was the game I was looking for the entire time, thanks
I found your channel due to zero hour and now I’ve found myself back here again I’ll be definitely getting arma due to it being £5.99 rn
I may as well sub since I’ve come across your channel a couple times U deserve more recognition considering the quality of these videos.
I bought it and so far I am enjoying it, its confusing at first but after a few hours you have a basic knowledge of what your're doing.
Very detailed, very good explained. You'll grow quick, good luck.
Thanks! Im starting to check on DayZ:SA. Super fun and up my alley! I'll make a video about it soon!
Picking squads up soon. Your vid helped me make up my mind
Glad to be of service!
Love your channel dude! I’m just getting a gaming computer and I was trying to pick between Arma and squad. This helped a lot!
Thanks! I felt the exact same way, that's why I made the video!
Such a well produced video bro you deserve tons of more subs
Pick up and play was all I needed to hear...thank you
Perfect length, thank you for being thoughtful about that.
just subbed! your videos are high quality and you could grow immensly!
Thank you for your opinion. I have arma 3 and dissapointed its multiplayer lags and down servers. However the MP worked smoothly. Since im big MP fan, I was searching for information about this game, but it was not as good as you shared in this video. Thanks. Enjoyed quick, but meaningful video
Glad it helped you out!
I agree, right balance of info/video and your opinions and explanations. i knew 0 about either now want both!;)
i was a full argo player (that time when have player was amazing) and i know arma before i buy squad last year play 1 time with my 970 and left it apart now with an 3060 i came back after the update came out without even known and i just fall in love with game
If you want the military simulator experience then arma 3 is the way to go, it offers an insane amount of features and weapons which no other game comes close to.
Soooo what the video said right?
Did you say this as veteran?
You NAILED IT for me. The configs are over the top. It’s ridiculous. Great video!
Only 500 subs. Thats sad, you should have way more, your content is so good.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the channel! Hopefully as I get back to posting we can see even more growth and grow an even bigger community!
Thank you a lot thank you for helping pepole (even tho its just find a game am so happy that you did!!)
Thank you so much, I was deciding between arma and squad. You made me know which to buy.☺️☺️☺️
I'm glad it helped! I know I was in a similar position a few years ago
youll be done with squad in a few months,Arma3 has been in the top 50 games played for 7 years. Arma3 has far more to offer than squad,it literally has an editor where u can create ANYTHING you can imagine. This reviewer cares more about what game is "easier" to understand than which one is worth your investment. Iv been a gamer for 30 years,Arma3 hours played DWARFES all other games iv played,combined. Theres a reason for that...and i dont even touch the MP aspect of it which has tonnes to offer.Arma3 is better than squad in almost every way that actually matters
@@Popmandoop and you were too impatient to learn how to play Arma3 or added md after mod and complained about poor performance or got butthurt because a community member said something to hurt your fee fee's.
@@MsFreegaza yes I love arma but oh my fucking god it was so hard to get into. The majority isn’t up for spending so much time in a game.
@@MsFreegaza Honestly I think Arma 3 is a great game. The modding potential is nearly unlimited and it's community has more dedication than any I've ever seen. If I were to make an "factually best" video Arma would have won, but I made this an "In my opinion" video. I think Squad is much more suited to my playstyle, and my life honestly since I don't have enough time to spend on all Arma has to offer with School, Work, and this channel. This video was made to tell people which game I perfered and I did just that. Obviously you have a different opinion, and that's fine. That's what opinions are, but there's no reason to attack or downplay others opinions just because they don't align with your own.
you're a cool dude. thanks for the review
I think you're a pretty cool dude too! Thanks for the comment!
Such good production, keep it up :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
your really underrated for your channel size keep the hard work up!
Thanks! I appreciate it. It's a grind but we're still growin!
@@Popmandoop no worries and yeah i bet lol
you should remake this video every couple of years
I'd love another. All I have is he'll let loose and want s modem one but I'm being picky cuz I don't want to get shafted
Another one of those underrated channels
Thanks! I think I still have a lot of room to improve, but I'm glad you're liking the content so far!
Great video, man. Good, neutral comparison, and you're right! ArmA 3 isn't for EVERYONE. Flip side of the coin, Squad isn't as in depth as some would like, lending to ArmA's creativity appeal. The "jobs" thing in ArmA 3 Milsim is so true, but tons of folks are looking for that, so both games are cut for folks of a different cloth.
Vehicles are a huge point of contention for many players. ArmA 3 vehicles are meant to be force multipliers, as they are in real life. America wins wars because we don't give the enemy a fair fight, which is exactly how vehicles are used in ArmA 3. Squad is much more "balanced", thus enjoyable to new comers that don't want to be super strategic.
Hope your channel takes off!
Hey thanks! Everything you said is 100% spot on. They really are different games made for different people even if they seem similar from the outside.
Arma3 the best my opinion
America doesn't really win wars tho
America wins wars 😂copium
Good stuff man. Keep at it
Thanks! Will do and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
....Squad. *Groundbranch is incredible too*
Hey! I think you have a lot of potential to grow a lot!
Thank you! I hope so!
oh she likes you
u should date
@@arkan7rb Dude, I'm pretty sure it was just a random compliment
@@arkan7rb that’s what I was gonna say
@@kaideos7558 dude
5:06 yeah, arma is running on an ancient engine which does not recognize such modern perversions as "multicore CPUs" and "GPUs"
I love Arma but my biggest issue with it is sometimes it feels like you need to learn to fix an engine just to drive a car
Nice video! Btw do you think sqaud can run on a gtx 1650, i5 9400f and 8gb ddr4 ram? I Will get a new pc in the future that Will be able to run it but for now this is what i have
I got ARMA 3 for $6 on its anniversary on Steam. It was also on my wishlist for sometime so i didn't waste a second.
i just got it for $6 as well and i also got the prairie fire dlc too for an extra 14 bucks. definetly has been on my list for a while too, glad to finally start getting into it
The freedom to make what ever kind of mission i want, including singleplayer and coop in arma outweight squad for me. Also about the graphics, you have remember arma is an older game than squad, Another thing the enviroment in arma is destructible, it's not in squad, for me that makes the enviroment more immersive than in squad.
One thing i really dislike in Arma, i gave to menrion one thing, it's the setting, i hate the futuristic weapons and vehicles. Dlcs and Mods fixes this.
@@sixten3000 Man you're on point... futuristic armaments turned me off for Arma 3 vanilla. Arma's 2 for example had an awesome realistic setting
@@AbdoZaInsert Futuristic? 95% of the guns and vehicles are based on actual real life counterparts. It's not the 1990s anymore.
Thanks, very helpful
The only problems I have with arma 3 are the graphics and the performance limits, it seems like there’s a fps limiter on and your system(PC/Laptop) is running at full speed trying to reach peak fps but it can’t.
Arma 3 is really heavy on the CPU vs GPU. I got an RX 6600 XT, and according to a FPS calculator i found online, i need a $4500 CPU to avoid "bottlenecks". Not sure how it calculates this though, as it is of course possible to tune the settings a lot.
a decade old game, 10700k and a 3070 runs it at 150 fps
not as much a fps limiter as the ancient engine being unable to properly use multicore cpu and gpu
I got Arma 3 on sale from steam with a ton of add ons for $30. I'm very familiar with modding as I've done it with Skyrim and other RPG's. That being said, modding Arma is far easier than it is with any other game I've ever modded (aside from the mods menu in Skyrim). You can set up certain mod loadouts for specific servers. That being said, with the 50 or so mods I have with the base game it takes up about 110GB if space which is hard to swallow for some people. With loading all those mods, I seriously recommend and SSD vs HDD.
Liked the video
But disagree with immersion part.
Arma is more complex but that makes it More immersive (when done right)
Gotcha, that's what makes Arma so cool honestly, it can be whatever you make it be. So I just tried to compare the base game separate of modifications for this video. With that being said I totally agree that Arma is the better game if you want to tailor your experience to exactly what you want.
I hope when Arma IV comes the graphics question to be solved
I gotta say Arma 3 did so much right. Squad still has a lot missing. Squad has a lot of holes in its' structure, including inability to pick up enemy rifles, and scavenge dead bodies for supplies.
In Arma 3, just like Arma 2, you have full ability to change your set up from optics to type of rifle if you kill an enemy loaded with supplies.
I had Arma 3 in my library for over 2 years, and only now I started getting into it. Reason was simple: I played Squad, and saw that it's missing core elements.
Jumped into Arma 3 today and realized it's (imo) best tactical mil sim ever made
Learning curve is crazy, but this is why you should do scenarios/tutorials, before jumping into online servers.
Complexity is there, but so is creativity. Also need a beast PC.
Warlord is good.
It would be nice if Squad would let us pick up enemy rifles or scavenge their bodies but it'll never happen imo
@@BadgersDen Yes, and community is toxic. I wrote to developers on Reddit with couple.of suggestions, and got crapped on by every person, where they said "you are an idiot, game is perfect". After suggesting night vision with night maps, and ability to choose optics such as LPVOs, since walking is crazy in this game. Maps are huge.
People are very toxic in squad, unlike what is told about Squad's community
@@righteousone8454 no you got crapped on for being a smart ass. Squad is doing fine with the direction its heading lol And the community is chill AF, try asking a question in Arma servers and make people teach you the game I dare you especially those "milsim" guys. I dont know about your "suggestions" but thats reddit for you.
@@righteousone8454 i personally haven’t found any toxic people playing the game
i really enjoy arma 3 just because of the zeus gamemode, sog praire fire, mods, and the editor
i have played squad for only a couple of hours during a free weekend, for some reason i ran into some heavy performance and graphics issues (i could see grainy effect in the distance, i had resolution set to my monitor) when i did and it left a bad taste in my friends mouths
i dont know why i had such issues with squad because everyone else online seems to have no issues but i never figured it out because again, free weekend
"The training is too much"
I don't think milsim is for you
You've got to be very committed
thing i hate about arma 3 is you have to buy access to snipers, helicopters, and planes
Not a problem if you're not broke. Get your money up
being better than gun 3 is easy as hell, the sound seems like my cousin with his toy gun .. it's a good idea but they can't make a good "game" without 800 modifications saving it!
Operation Flashpoint Cold war crisis damn that if that impressed me and it seems incredible how little weapon has evolved!
Ground branch , Zero hour cuz i like more squad tactics how a big scale army half sim
Awesome! I have ground branch and I just picked up Zero Hour! Great games if CQB is more your thing! Same with the ISMC mod for insurgency sandstorm!
Do you think the game will run on my Laptop where I have an GTX 1650, 8 GB Ram and Intel Core I5-10300H CPU 2.50 GHz
I tried Arma III and yeah it's not exactly accessible. If I had friends pushing me to play it I might have kept it, but trying to navigate it solo was daunting... also the campaign is very boring, so even using it as a jump off was a no go.
i appreciate rust getting a shoutout
I couldn't make a decision, so I bought both and now I have 200+ hours on both. 10/10 would buy both.
very nice video, really enjoyed it and yeah, i was about to buy squad but then i decided to buy arma instead because its cheaper and i really like sandbox games and i like milsim, i really enjoy the game even without mods, you gained a sub btw!, i hope you reach 1 million someday! good luck on your channel!
My personal fun from arma is coop zeus, a laid back coop experience with a mainly infantry assault supported by dedicated and experienced players that I've actually gotten to know outside of the game.
Can wait to see arma 4 on the new engine 🙏
Controversial take but other than particle effects where it very much beats Arma, I think with a good Arma 3 map, Arma 3 and Squad are equal in graphics.
or the third option, Project Reality ;P
I wonder is gtx 1650 6gb and intel i7 4790, ssd spec. Enough for squad good ( 60 or more ) fps rates?
Yah I'd say so! I'm running a 1660ti but my brother has a 1660 and a 2600 which is pretty equivalent to a 4790. It'll have to be 1080p and you'll need to tinker with the settings, but it does sound attainable!
Arma the ultimate sandbox with endless mods like dayz, not only that but by far has the best combined arms gameplay from a squad bike to A10 fight pilot. Arma also has extremely good pve servers that are huge in scale. Squad is better for a less clunky experience, and is by far the easiest to pick up with the added benefit of an entirely mp focus and is good aswell but arma is the ultimate sim especially if you like using vehicles
What was a beat price? On sale?
I have both, but Squad all day for me.
I agree 100%, Arma has a huge learning curve. Who wants to spend yrs trying to get good at a FPS? Squad it is for me & 6 Days in Fallujah in a few months.
Great content, follow your passion & it will lead to good things!
If it takes you years to learn Arma then I’m afraid you have some severe learning disabilities
You said your specs were in the description... But I looked and couldn't find them :(
You're totally right! I'll put them in right now. For the time being I have:
Ryzen 7 3800x
1660ti EVGA Dual Fan
16gb DDR4 RAM
and a 500gb ssd
arma 3 wth ace3 mod. its by far the most realistic war game. but squad its very good too.
I haven't tried that mod yet. Sounds like it's worth a look! Thanks!
@@Popmandoop i love arma because its hard and challengin , altough time consuming
Arma 3 is a classic. Probably the most hardcore realistic military shooter ever made. The simulation is too overwhelming for most people. We got DayZ from Arma, it’s such a masterpiece itself
thinking of getting into Arma because of dayz is there crafting in arma as well?
@@naytbreeze 8 months late but no, not unless you play with a mod that adds it.
Just bought squad and I'm so excited I am worried though that my potato PC won't play it.
Poor boy chronicles.
I’ve also never gotten trained in arma 3 I jus play with ransoms sometimes they take it to seriouse and we argue 🤷♀️but sometimes they be fun af 🤣
I’m on Xbox so I can’t get mods so what would you recommend
just get both
I have over 400 hours in Post Scriptum can I just jump into Squad or is it that different?
I haven't personally played post scriptum but I have heard that they're very similar. I made Squad guide a bit ago, maybe check that out and see if you already know it all! I feel like that would be a solid indicator.
Yeah its similar. Some different mechanics though
over 1000 hours with ARMA which is the only game I have played for the past 3 years and I am still learning new features. Squad is a hell of a lot of fun and a fun shooter but it just cant match the complexity and range of possibilities you have in arma. to Laser guiding your own smart bombs from a targeting pod on your aircraft to setting up unmanned stugna missile turrets and ambushing convoys remotely km's away its just on a level of military satisfaction no other game can match in my opinion. and the firefights and sound design are just mwaah. There are literal hundreds of game modes and ways to play due to DLC's and the enormous steam workshop mods. That being said Squad is a close second in terms of milsims but leaves a lot to be desired and gets boring quickly if you're a long time arma player. Oh and it has Vietnam.. enough said
If you are more into single player scenarios with cool bots or whatever, get arma. Squad is more realistic and it is a multiplayer for the most part. When starting on either game, arma is quite complicated unlike squad. I personally have more fun with squad and other similar games such as beyond the wire.
Ill buy both someday but i think ill choose Squad first. Arma has too many DLCs and stuff to be played fully. Aparently you cnat evne drive vehicles without soem DLC i heard?
Yeah Arma is definitely the next step up! and yes you cant use the dlc vehicles unless you have the dlc, but I think you can still be a passenger.
yeah arma 3 has dlcs and all that but theirs a big modding community that pretty much has every mod you probably like
nice video, cheers
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
If you want realism go with Arma 3. If you want semi-realism with an arcade/battle royale feel go with Squad. Both are great games but I would give the edge to Arma 3 due to the endless amount of mods/gameplay modes, etc..
What do u mean battle royale? Jump from airplane with parachute.. tlooting weapons and items, then fight againts another squad till 1st? And get legendary skin?
I own squad and cant say i play it much... Honestly its because people mostly do their own thing and you never know who to shoot and who not to shoot. I just wish it had team markers at all times not just up close, really its way different looking at a PC monitor vs real life. people say it would take away from the realism... Because we all know its very realistic to sit on your ass and click a mouse when your a ground soldier... Really its still just a game. If it had team markers i would be addicted to this game like super mega crack.
Both pros and cons you told about Arma is the reason I play it. It's, like you said, hardcore MilSim. Thats why people in general play it. NO game on earth has the feel, immersion and intensity of a battlefield like Arma. By far not. Armas scale alone is jaw dropping. The dimension of a battle this game puts on is just insanity.
I also think that it looks waaaaay better than Squad. Graphics on ultra is boss. Game looks stunning. I have no idea how one can come to the conclusion that Squad is looking better than Arma.
The one and only downgrade I have with Arma is its performance. But since it runs on an engine made for simulations its kinda understandable. Simulations almost always eat up your CPU like nothing :D
For me its Arma. Squad is too easy. I dont like that kind of gameplay. I like big COOP operations with hundreds of units doing their thing on a battlefield that is 10km² or bigger. Haveing 100+ people playing together in COOP is just pure immersion. All the coordination that is needed, the coms, the calls, the different role everybody has to fullfill and the sheer size of missions make it for me.
For me these games are not even comparable. Its two different kinds of games. Like GTA and Skyrim. Both open world but you cant compare them really.
I love this comment! You did a really good job expressing what makes Arma such a unique and one-of-a-kind game. I agree with everything you said 100%, I just prefer Squad since its a lot simpler and I don't really have the time to deal with Arma haha.
I also agree that the graphics on Arma are pretty dang solid. I should've done a better job of explaining what you pointed out . Arma can look amazing but it is much more performance hungry. In my experience I can run Squad at higher graphics settings than Arma on my hardware since A3 is such a pain to run. If I had a beast of a PC I think you're right, Arma would look amazing.
Thanks for your comment! Definitely gave me some stuff to think about, and a drive to put some more hours into Arma so I can really get to know all of its many ins and outs.
Squad is quite more specific on what it tries to achieve. It's full on PvP action not meant for bots, at least not as an important feature. Both games share about the same skillset on the gunplay itself aside from controls of course and customization. Btw the Arma coordination experiences are only possible if u belong to a clan/milsim group if u are talking about the true highly tactical stuff, same with squad ,there's only so much u can do with random players in public servers regardless of the game. I mean have u seen One life events in Squad from Karmakut or clan matches?
I bought Arma but I had no idea what to do or where to go. Probably better I stick to squad :(
@@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594 yikes, maybe joining a realism clan would be a great idea. Do some more research on tutorials overall.
@Ruska lol did i say it was easier?? I was actually defending squad from the first comment wtf. Read again
I'm running 192 mods right now in Arma 3... at the same time.
should've seen this video 2 days ago... damn
As someone who was in the military for a very long time. I will not be as a dismount. I was on tanks during my time in the military so I will be on tanks in game.
Oh that's pretty cool! Good thing both games have really fun vehicle play. You'll have to let me know how accurate they are!
In my opinion squad is better in graphics...that would be remaining in Arma...but squad I think it's more limited about content and creating tools as a sandbox like Arma
I don’t play modded arma tbh and it’s so fun I have 200. Hours I recently got into the 55th br server I think das what’s it called it’s the best multiplayer server in my opinion you can fly wtv yu eant except cas
I play arma and squad,but squad have weird maps,i will pick the arma3
I have over 500 hours in arma 3 and I can tell, you don't need a mil-sim unit to have fun. Only a couple of friends on a server or, a server of random on zeus or escape.
Thanks for the input I'm trying to decide which to put my time in. I have both games but can't decide which one I want to play and put the time in to learn. This comment helped a bit
I have Arma and have played 4ish hours but idk i cant seem to understand like anything
One thing you didn't mention was that Arma is much more PvE focused than Squad. A big part of arma is doing large scale missions with unique objectives like destroying radio towers and rescuing hostages. I bought Squad but was dissapointed since all the gamemodes were variations of conquest from battlefield and felt way more arcady. I can see why people enjoy it but its just not a the kind of game I was looking for. I think comparing the two games to eachother is a little unfair to both. They have very different experiences
I have both
id probably buy which is the cheapest
I am getting a pc it costs around £700 so im hoping i can run these games
Fingers crossed!
I have been playing arma3 for 700hours without any milsim, casual CTI is already fun enough. Also no one will imagine that you can also turn arma into hero shooter with some addaction scripts. Try searching for TTS cloaking script, you can re-create that but with different types of skills you can imagine.
You can literally adjust everything you want in arma like health, weapon sway, recoil, character speed if you feel like you want to play arma but make it more like call of duty you can adjust the game to feel more like that. While other games limit you on what you can play. I won’t buy squad not because of my bias but because i still want to sink another 700 hours into arma.
So a quick recap, Arma 3 needs nada pc to run at 120fps, squad needs a mid budget gaming pc and it runs perfectly with about 60-120 fps
I wonder if my RX 6500XT can handle arma
Big difference: Arma has a lot of single player scenarios, including campaign missions (the most realistic i've seen) or missions mods, apart from the multiplayer. Squad has only multiplayer. Anyway, i love both games. Squad is more like a realistic Battlefield. Arma is more like its unique thing. I would recommend you begin with Squad; it can be addictive. Arma is not for everyone; but is closer to reality.
If you're into "Mil-sim" I guess squad would be the place to be. But the VAST majority of Arma players, don't play mil-sim. I had 4000 hours into Arma before I actually played a "mil-sim" server and I have yet to play any single player campaign scenarios. I got into arma for the RPG "life" mods and the sandbox style Exile game mod. Exile is built off of other sandbox mods with previous renditions such as Epoc and Breaking point, which all 3 harken back to the still popular and strong running strong DayZ mod built off of the Arma II engine that became so popular that the developers made it into it's own game with all of the military gear you would ever want, with a few zombies to visit you while you're trying to camp a mission that other players are trying to conquer. With that being said, there are still a lot of mil-sim arma servers out there that will feed your desires of high competency military strategic and tactical coordination. Even this video showing Arma clips are from the King of the Hill mod, which is more of a battlefield style of100 players in tight quarters trying to take an objective, and is far from a vanilla mil sim. For that reason, I think Arma wins, but it is like 10 years old at this point, and the arma community is chomping at the bit for Arma4.
Whichever one is the furthest away from COD is the one I wanna play.
4gb 1050ti, 16gb ram, i5-8400 1080p. Can I play Squad in stable, any good fps?
Fyi. R7 4000 series + RTX 2060 , I can get more than 60 fps at low settings, 40 fps when team fight
It just depends on what you're looking for
100%
God I want squad now but arma is 10 dollars on sale right now
Same
Honestly, I think Squad is the better game for its straight-forwardness but Arma is also really good. 10$ Is a really good price for it, if you're willing to take the time to learn it. Keep an eye on Squad as well! They have quite a few sales every once in a while.
@「 Deadpoppin 」 you cant refund arma after 2 hours
My only problem in arma is that it is such a old game but it’s so hard to run I have decent specs and I run 30-40 FPS solid
yeah that through me off
I couldn’t decide so I bought both
which one do you prefer more
Holy sh ur underrated
Glad some people think so! I still can't believe I got past 100 subs! Guess we're all our own worst critics though.
do u think squad will run properly in a 2gb vram with core i5 8gb ram?
Hmmm, I don't think so. They recommend at the very least 4GB of VRAM. Maybe if you had lowest settings and dropped the resolution, but idk how enjoyable that would be.
