Damn! You can actually shit talk the enemy now. Also would be super good for immersion. deciding wether to speak in a cqb environment. Knowing the enemy might hear
oh, this is awesome but the sad part is it’s gonna be a month until any of the mods come back out again🤣 I swear it took forever for the mods to come out for the servers and now that they’re all out and there’s like 6+ spotted servers. We’re getting another update again, of course ahah. But this will make it insanely immersive, and I’ve been wanting this for squad.
Unfortunately, it will end up being a meme where players will avoid using local voip to avoid potentially giving away their position, and only use local when they are down and want to yell, distract, and troll enemies.
@@lilfuzzballa Probably not. Because it's a mod thing. And modded servers usually have more decidated and tactical players. At least from my experience. Since you kinda need to have a big interest and experience in the base game to try out the mods. Aka modded servers already have and will probably always have that "teamwork" mindset
Damn this is huge, I can't remember the last time this many things were fixed, and seeing a lot of bugs that have been in the game for 3-4 years if not longer on that list... about time. About. Time. 😀 I genuinely hope this trend continues for at least another update, two if possible. Love the video man there were so many little funny bits in both the video and commentary that just seemed to catch me off guard. Looking forward to the next one!
15:10 what I'm excited for most this update is your band releasing that album. That's awesome 🤘. I'm also stoked about the bug fixes in Squad, but the band thing is way cooler than a video game. Wish i was in England to come hear y'all.
I'm worried that being able to pick factions is going to mean that some factions simply won't be played anymore. Why would anybody pick INS/MIL if RGF/USMC is an option?
I thought they made it so you can’t repick a faction until you pick all other available options then it resets after 3 or so matches? Was I hallucinating that
You are crazy if you think Insurgents/Mil are unpopular, people love playing them, it's MEA and to a lesser degree PLA and TLF that I would be more worried about.
Nice! I can finally come back. The scope sway/movement sway was perfect when ICO was first rolled out. Then they buffed it and it was like I was sitting on a tug boat in a hurricane. The game literally became un playable for me. Nice to see they nerfed it back.
as a fan of metal music "fall in line" is a fantastically created song with only the drum kicks and vocals sounding abit silent and lofi throught the Ep otherwise huge potential with those insane guitar riffs!!!!!!
Did you a favor and hit the subscribe button not because you asked but solely on the fact that currently this is the only channel with any info on Squad's 7.2 update... thanking you while i enjoy this tuna sandwich watching this video to end the day
For a game that's super realistic is why don't none of these tanks have a laser range finder so u don't have to aim above at range as its done through computers
The one thing I wish they’ed do is make more infantry stance positions. I find myself trying to shoot through windows or fence and standing nor crouching gives me a sight picture. Can be extremely annoying.
Hi honcho! Big fan, Just a question : Does the double damage bug fix on penetration on both turret and hull means that we cannot 2 shot the M1 Abrams on its weak spot? Continue the work !
@@A_Honcho That means we have to check that 😁 Btw you should try to do some type of myth-busting content for squad in short maybe it'll interest the people 🤔
For the VDV they should do a complete overhaul for uniforms and add new vehicles. Uniforms- they should wear EMR helmets,vest, and knee/elbow pads but for there main uniform they will wear Reversible Suit 65h122. Weapons- they should be able to either use Ak-12 or modernized Ak-74Ms Vehicles- They should add VDV buggy with 3 variants/1 would just be able to drive with 3 players, 2 will be able to have 2 players and 1 player on a MG,3 same as 2 but kornet launcher. And instead of the old BMD-1 which there are no more BMD-1s on service but the BMD-2 with 2 variants such as BMD-2 without ATGM and one with it .
I agree that they are ripe for changes, but there is a better approach to vehicles in my opinion. (Also weapon wise there really is just no purpose to offering AK 74s), the BMD 1 is already only on the support unit so its less about replacing them and more making the BMD4 special since the BMD2 really is the workhorse vehicle not the BMD4, (and since the BMD2 would be a very mediocre ifv they can move to having more of them and less apcs to be closer to actual VDV units) I also don't see the experimental shift towards buggies (which is more for special forces anyways) being the ideal addition to a faction that otherwise is unique for not having traditional light vehicles and being pushed towards mechanized infantry. If they want to have some lighter vehicles I would suggest support vehicles like the short kamaz with an aa gun (also just replacing what Kamazs they get with the faster short version in general) if they really want to have something wacky though I suppose they could give them the ultimate rws vehicle in the VDV Typhoon.
After playing the update it’s a great step in the right direction. The thing with map voting is that your team still chooses to pick terrible teams…. I thought I was tired of playing as insurgents hahahaha well now every game it’s insurgents v whoever it’s so annoying. I’d love to try out the new stuff but there’s nothing you can do when you have teammates with 0 IQ and vote for insurgents every chance they get….
People will soon learn. We've heavily restricted the voting on DoD and will be putting in a few extra exclusions for certain faction / game mode pair ups
Hey Honcho, unrelated to anything but whats your graphics settings? I am struggling with mine using PiP scopes. I try changing everything but they always look very fuzzy and pixelated when i have it set to ‘clarity’, but all blurry and ghosted when set to ‘AA’. I can’t get it to look “normal”
Limiting a faction to specific maps is maybe emersive but I think it takes away some of the fun, there is no reason why Insurgent warlord can't be invading Narva it is all fictional in any case
Owi should make the voting screen happen earlier and player initiated, like server voting 10 mins before the match ends you gain the ability to go into the esc screen and place voted
But how would the game know when its going to end? Do you mean it activating when a team goes under 50 tickets or something? Either way, idk, I like finally having a bit of a break between games.
What sort of future ICO changes do they plan on making? Did they give you any hints and why aren't they communicating this to the rest of the community?
I wish they would be a bit more transparent especially after their last Director of community SITREP said they would. thanks for the reply either way. Good vid as usual @@A_Honcho
Players: It would be really nice to have a truly-random advance and secure. Devs: Here's all the possible locations that the flags will go. Happy about binocular sway being more forgiving.
But its not like all players are saying that, some people suggest it and then the vast majority are never commenting on it. Like comeon think about it for just a moment in practice and surely you will realize why a truly random advance and secure is a bad idea. 1: Maps only have certain amounts of points of interests, this is a significant limitation on how many objective site options would be available on any given map, and breaking from this just seems terrible, who wants a primary objective to be some random patch of woods or just some field? 2: If we agree thats too far and POIs exist for a reason, we then run into the fact that having POI chains is either basically just recreating the existing system, or allowing for these obnoxious zigzags across the map just for the sake of increased unpredictability, something which already happens once in a while in the current system and is disliked which you would just be making happen more often. This really is just an idea that does not stand up to scrutiny, what you really want is just more gamemodes which have a different format of objective. Which I do completely agree with.
People are just going to keep voting US Army or US Marines, they already get all the good stuff and now they've gotten more, meanwhile the other Blufor factions are forgotten about or the devs come in and actively REMOVE stuff from them such as removing the 50cal RWS bulldog and replacing it with a 7.62 one and removing mines from UK and Canada...
Am I missing something? How has this changed? Australia can be played any region, China can be played any region but northern europe which doesn't include Ukraine. Unless you just mean being able to vote to not have this happen.
Pretty cool in general, looking forward. Just the biome things I thought was ass. No reason to limit possibilities; I think it's cool to have different factions on different "what if" scenarios. Having middle eastern only in the Middle East or China only in Jungle etc. is pretty lame. Let each server choose if they wanted to - and I wouldn't play on those who did, even while I do gravitate way more toward milsim than casual fps.
I mean in practice this isnt much a of a change from how it currently works, MEA and insurgents dont appear in european maps or anything. The only notable change is China no longer on Skorpo/Harju/Narva, Militia no longer being in Goose Bay/Manicougan, but those two maps now being able to have non American bluefor factions.
Great news! Now I can be a pile of dog shit in this game with new features!
😂😂😂
You and me both my friend
One of us!
So happy for the RPG fix, the amount of times I've whipped out my RPG just to find out it didn't reload properly was too high to count.
Yea, that's been such a long standing bug!
Literally since the entirety of the game and I would see it probably twice a match. I’ll believe when I see it though
did they fix it for gl as well? it had a similar bug.
Also a pretty big addition that wasn’t talked about:
Mod creators can now enable 2-team local proximity chat!!!
This does not effect vanilla layers
Yea this is big!

the issue which RPG not reloading got me today. trying to kill a tank but the damn rpg wont reload. glad that they fixed it. its really annoying
Damn I just got squad like a month ago. I didn't know dead on dismount was your server!! See you on the battlefield brother 😂
Canada vs America and Insurgent vs Militia are some of my favourite matchups though
Yea I'm gonna miss INS vs MIL
