If you plan on buying Squad, don't forget that a microphone is key to teamwork. How many times I had Squad Leaders or teammates without mics is really annoying. Imagine being shot at by a vehicle and asking some friendly for the direction or general location and all you get is silence (aside for the bullets whizzing overhead). So do everyone a favor if you pick the game up and use a microphone, thanks.
Teamwork is key!
Here's the problem, I love milsims but I hate people. Is there not a ping system?
I'll toss a Mic on to do call outs but I have no desire to make friends well playing
i want the game but im an antisocial people hater and talking sucs
@@misnerofgrey6245
Then don't play squad, ping is not realistic in milsim game. Voice communication is a key in milsim game like this, similar to Arma.
@Rakih Elyan I've actually tried squad since my comment, I'm happy to say that I've been having a great time and I have been using my mic, I don't engage in small talk but do participate in the call outs and everyone I've played with has been very awesome about that
I bought the game 3-4 days ago and I already have 30+ hours, been playing so much in my free time and staying late just to play. The game is super cool and friendly here in europe. I love it, people speak good english, they help me, we joke together, it's super tactical and super chilly. For example - when I play CS:GO, sometimes the game makes me rage. In Squad, there is no way for me to rage just because in between deaths there is time to refresh the mind until you see your next enemy. For me, this is really important. Buy squad is my advice for new people.
Should’ve mentioned the factions that are currently available, it’s so cool that the game features real-world militaries in an era where so many games are using generic ‘teams’.
Plus with the variety of factions comes the variety of weapons and vehicles which adds tons of replay value.
Didn't see the point in mentioning them as they are forever changing and adding factions.
I started out in 2020 and I can say that it was worth every bill I paid on this game
🙌
Squad is worth it for the sound design alone. Best in any game, imo.
PTSD simulator
Started in late 2017 early 2018. Love this game!! It can be frustrated if you're not on a organized team or squad. I've found if you join a squad and it's pretty much radio silence you're probably gonna have a bad time. I've only recently started squad leading and as long as command chat is active it can actually be pretty easy. Primarily though, I play as a medic. It's really satisfying when your team at the end of the game has 87 revives and you alone have 20-30 of those revives by yourself.
You don't have to be an amazing fps player on the levels of shroud or something. You just need to be able to listen to orders, and have map awareness. As I mentioned above I mainly play medic, I usually have 0-3 kills a game but with over 15 revives which in itself is wicked helpful.
YES YES YES and YES again. Squad is KING!!! So many different things you can do/ work to perfect in this game like flying helis or playing infantry or driving or gunning a tank, mortars, sneaking around as an engineer mining the roads or hunting radios. Or squad lead if you like leading other players and using your own strategies to help your team/squad win. Oh or your tired one night and just wanna chill out? Run mid game logistics. Just throw on some music and hit the road with a logi! There's so many things to do it doesn't get stale and I just love squad. Almost 2k hours I have already spent in this game and I'm still not sick of it. 99% of other games I'm tired of in 1k hours. Great video Honch!
👑
Yes but u can’t even do a road kill in the game, drag him under the truck, he still stand up. So immersive
@@leungkasan You just have to do the next best thing in game and run them over with a logi but stay on top of them so they cant get up then just get out and its a free kill lol
@@leungkasan there would be a massive influx of team kills if they changed that
@@owensmith2995 massvie team kill doesn’t happen in hell let loose
I always love this game I tend to not play it as much anymore but I always come back to every so often. I played a lot of fps game back in the day starting with the original call of duty. Since I don’t have the reaction time of a 10 year old anymore these milsim games are definitely the next step.
Those two MBT's shooting themselves within arms reach was the deal maker for me. If thats the community, then ive found my new bf3
I agree with everything you said, however, be aware that playing in a free weekend is not exactly conclusive as to what the game actually is like. Free weekends always flood the lobby’s with new players and while new players are always a good thing, many of them want to just mess around on the free weekends. So you will run into many more people who do not communicAte, waste assets, don’t have a mic, or create a squad so they can take the marksman kit. These things do happen anyways but free weekends it always happens more. So if you play in a free weekend and think it isn’t as communicative or team based as you thought, don’t worry, all else fails buy it on sale, play a game and if you don’t like it, return it before your 2 hours are up. Squad is an amazing game and I hope everyone sticks with it!
I love playing on free weekends. I'm addicted to the chaos 😂😂
@@A_Honcho @owensmith2995 I am interested in trying out the game because it looks really cool! How do I get notified of the free weekend ahead of time?
Playing since alpha, It has come a LONG way since the infantry only days, Must own.
First meme with the thumbs up had me subscribed 😂 well done lad
Welcome aboard!
Squad is great. The community is good and generally has people that are at least 20-50 years old (on OCE servers anyway) so there is almost no toxicity ever in rounds. I couldn't believe how helpful and welcoming people are to new players. I was one of those guys really looking forward to BF 2042 and when I was let down by that I got this instead and love it.
If you liked BF3 and 4 you will like this, although it is slower paced somewhat it is much more realistic which is awesome. It is a hard game, at first you will have no idea where you are dying from but after a week you will get the hang of it and your situational awareness will be ramped up to 10. Hacking is almost non-exisitant too which is nice. In 1200h of playtime I have only ever seen 3 rounds with hackers and they were dealt with instantly.
If you have a semi decent pc it runs fine, but a modern video card will make it great.
Is is worth $60? At this point I would say yes, 2 years ago I would've said no. If it is on sale I would definitely get it no question.
My only cons with the game:
No 5.1 channel audio support (however the audio is very good for stereo)
Some maps could use a bit more optimisation
There is a current bug with DX12 where the mouse cursor disappears on the map screen (can easily be fixed by alt+tab out and back in)
Some minor balancing issues with certain kits and factions but hardly an issue.
Brilliant summary 👏
every round of squad in oce is toxic ....
no toxicity in oce??? i see you have never been in a command chat on friday/saturday night before
How low does it go on sale?
Every time I load up the game it says steam is currently offline. After restarting the game a whole bunch of times I only got to play it once. Can anyone help me fix this please
You have a talent for telling a story I enjoined listening to your voice a lot great work man
when you stated your specs, you got me there(was worried about optimisation issues lot of people ranting).-i have 2080 super with i510400f-
I'v seen this game and its terrefic (i come from arma and dayz and hell let lose), i think i'll like it very much.
Thanks for the nice guide and video buddy, subbed.
Optimisation is still up and down on Squad, Hell let loose has been optimised very well in comparison
Just bought it. Can confirm it’s super fun. I have def met more nice peeps than a**holes, especially if you start with your suggestion “hey I’m new - what do you want me to do?”
That's awesome to hear!!
@@A_Honcho do you have a Vid about what symbols on the maps mean?
What is the song at 5:00 again? I forgot the name, its so good.
Squad is also a CPU/Ram intensive game, make sure you have a good single core performance CPU and 16+ gbs of ram for the best squad experience, trust me I started squad on a potato and it was basically unplayable for me even tho I could get 144+ fps on game like tarkov or r6, rust, etc.
Will Rtx 2080 TI TURBO and amd ryzen 3600 32gb RAM do?
@@xproto4651
The 3600 isn't bad but for the same price you can get an i7 4770k which has better single-core performance, whereas the 3600 has better multi-core performance but that also depends on the compatibility of your mobo if it's already built.
Your GPU is fine as well it should be good enough to run squad at 1080 mid-high settings and still get a consistent 60 fps
also if your 32gb is high speed and ddr4 then yes
That's similar to what I recorded this video on 😂
2070 super but I had a 3700x
i recently got squad, but the servers on the servers tab wont load
Thankyou A_Honcho, saved to my permanent playlist, I swear I will buy, and attempt to join!
Haha I can't wait!
What is the song name at 0:12 ?
I'm looking at getting this game since I switched to PC finally. I loved Hell Let Loose on console for the last 2 years. I just need to progress my speed on Keyboard and Mouse controls 😂😂. This video was great and thank you for taking the time to do this.
Hope you enjoy it!
Love playing SQUAD on the steam deck. I do logi runs or play medic with an active SL and do nothing but heal and revive teammates
Does it run well on the steam deck?
Is there any auto aim? I find it hard to play shooters on the deck if there’s no auto aim.
Thanx, your video is well descriptive.
No problem!
Yup, totally worth the money. Squad has the friendliest and respectful community. I joined in a game as a newbie squad leader and my team members are nice to me giving me instructions, tips and tricks and never point the finger at anyone for making mistakes.
Lol, this is not remotely true to all accounts.
Let me put it this way, I got Squad in December 2020 after 2 years and 3 months I have 2800hrs. So yes, yes it is worth it.
Oof you've got more hours than me 😂😂
i look at a game like this, if its 60$ then i should get 60 hours out of it. thats a buck an hour. At the moment I got 450 hours, and its very worth it. cant wait for the next 450!
100%
spool?
I paid 31€ back in v10. To hear this game jumped to 60€ is Insane.
idk where you see 60€ it's been 33,74€ for over a year.
@@bobsteins4435 Its €44.99 right now lol
@@bobsteins4435 it's currently 50 USD on steam.
@@eiatos in Moldova is like 25 USD
its 18 USD in the Philippines
i loved playing this game a few years ago, Quite tempted to come back and play it some more
Do it
Great video! I agree it's a great game, i only regret buying Arma 3 before this! Haven't touched it since picking up squad. So much easier to pick up and play
I've always classed Squad as an "Accessible Arma" as you don't need mods to make it fun
Backed it on KS have almost 1500 hours. Worth.
Was on the fence until I watched this video. Fantastic info dump tyvm.
See you on the battlefield 😎
@@A_Honcho Yes sir.
I love your videos hancho keep up the good work 👍 and as a member of the squad community I welcome all new blueberries
Thanks dude 🙌
if you play on public servers do you need to talk on the mic? is it required?
Basically required.
whats the song from the intro?
I’m saving up for the emotes, and then it will finally be worth it.
i would love to know if there would be a sale on steam for this game maybe in the summer i'm not sure if i should wait till a sale or to buy it right now.
Squad normally goes on sale 2-3 times a year.
@@A_Honcho that isn't a lot, how many times has it been on sale this year? And does it usually go on sale on summer?
On sale for 25% off currently!!
If you love classic military multiplayer games like Delta Force 2, Arma 2 and Battlefield 2 and 3 then this game is for you
💥
What's the song at the beginning of the video?
It's from my band Eversio - our EP will be finished soon 👀
This video gave me nostalgia from watching ark tutorials
Hello can squad play like sandbox? Honestly i dont have a mic to comunicate if its just multiplayer
Not really no, there may be some mods for it but that's not what Squads about in all honesty
Coming over from cod, wish me luck haha
You'll love it after you uninstall and reinstall it for the 5th time 😂
I am looking at getting the game but only know about 6 other people that are also interested in it. Does a squad have to be played with 9 people or can it be less?
A squad in Squad can consist of 1 - 9 people.
Percent of action vs walking simulator time?
Solid video, thank you.
thank you so much for this video 👍👍
Any time 🤘
And for my taste PiP scopes would be insane and also more away while aiming down sight especially iron sight after sprinting and shooting a TIGR gunner or MRAP gunner
Oh man PiP would be sick!
Glad I bought it for 20 bucks back in 2017 ❤
I bought Squad long ago and did not understand it. I got discouraged and quit. Recently I bought Hell Let Loose and I really love it. I will give Squad another chance!
HLL will certainly point you in the right direction, but keep in mind Squad is a fair bit faster and the maps are alot bigger so that might throw you a little bit
I love games like Squad and HLL, but I have a tough time recommending Squad to friends just because of how difficult it is to get all of your friends together on the same team and in the same squad literally every round.
Squad is a great game, but not worth $60 IMO. It's a game you play a weekend every couple of months.
Def your opinion 🤔
@@averageconsumer3212 I mean it's not. There's no party system or any other system in the game that makes it easy to get your friends together in a squad.
@@dylanmelotti4301I know I'm a few months late but there definitely is. Make a squad (granted you need to swap to the same team), but make sure you lock it before creating. Then invite select members (your friends) and done. I hope this helps 😊
@@ruheloserdachs8585 But you have to do this every single match in a server. Like what I mean is like in Hell Let Loose, it keeps everyone on the same team every match.
When we had 6-7 of us playing Squad it was a headache to get all of us together in the same squad because it wasn't always possible for all of us to get on the same team every match.
Yes, I've been playing squad for a very long time. Would definitely still pay for it
👑
Yes it is, but too bad after that new update it now only crashes on start up for me...
Hopefully Wednesday patch fixes it!
@@A_Honcho amen lol might have to reinstall!
How many playhours should i have to play as a squadleader?
When you feel comfortable or confident enough to do it. Check out my Squad Leader guide to give you an idea of just how easy it can be 🙌
I never played this game but I watched clips of this game it's literally like in real life
so glad i got this game on sale
Always a saving to be had somewhere!
its also one of the funnest games I played with proxy chat
100%!
I have one question is it avalable on Xbox x ?
Unfortunately not
Here's my advice to people: If you want a game which prioritizes teamwork and communication yet has elements of both hardcore milsims like ArmA and large scale sandbox shooters like Battlefield (which was what I was looking back in 2020), then Squad is that game for you.
If you are unsure about pacing (aka if you would like this type slower paced game), then I would suggest watching some Unedited and uncut videos of Squad matches to see if you would be happy with the game's slower nature, especially at the start of a match.
But overall, it's a great game worth getting. Just ignore that whole "Emotes thing", that's just for trolls, roleplayers, and socializers. Not a huge deal in Squad unlike what some would say online.
Well put!
Yeah I play squad a lot and I was skeptical of the emotes at first but honestly they’re kinda fun and don’t really ruin any gameplay!
@@Skieth Exactly, especially currently, the steam reviews are now "mixed" for the most recent reviews. And most of those reviews have mostly just been people complaining about said emotes.
Been playing for a bit over a year, this game is frustrating as shit, but YES, I would be happy to pay $60 for this.
I started playing tarkov and this seem like a more chill shooter
Its more chill in some ways. more PTSD in others
Anyone know the song used in the game showcase?
its from my band - Eversio.
@@A_Honcho Where can I find it? I'm not finding anything
Got it years ago for 25$ on sale
does a lot of PPL still play it?...I'm about to buy this
Yea, the games still got a good thriving player base and plenty of full servers!
In which world ist this game 60$? I can buy it for 27$ without sale?!
thank you sir i will be buying tomorrow
I’m glad I bought it for $40 in early access.
It's worth it. But if there's a sale, then GET IT!
Deffo always looking for money off
I hate it that not many people play realistic shooter games
like Squad, Arma , eft, insurgency etc.
I wish it had many active players like csgo or at least r6
It'll get there eventually
Now I want to buy this game. Thanks man!
*One of us. One of us*
I really want this to come to console 😢😢
I don't even see a question here. Of course, it is worth it, nowadays 60$ is not something that you can't afford for a game that you are 100% gonna play for more than 200 hours. It's even cheaper than Call Of Duty, which is super casual and becomes super boring with time, or any other single-player shit.
Would you pick Hell Let Loose over Squad? Im struggling what to buy..
I preffer the more modern / current era of things, I'm not a massive WW2 shooter fan
YES
any good NA servers recommendation anyone? im new
The Potato Fields
Is this like HLL mixed with Arma 3 but modern?
It's like HLL but bigger and based in the almost presant era
We definitely need more SL’s
If more people watched my SL guide we'd have more 👀😂
One of the best servers to play on is The Potato Fields
Just enlist, go on a couple of tours, come back with most body parts still intact, and get the game for free...
PTSD included
Consider these before you buy the game:
-As he said the game runs like asolute shit. Unless you have newish or new PC don't bother
- The footage you see here is far from what you'll be actually seeing. Most of the time you see absolutely nothing and walk for ages just to get shot down in one second and then you wait forever for revives or spawn back in and walk again. For ages.
- If you like watching the map every 3 seconds the game is for you. Since it's pretty hard to distinguish enemies from friendlies at distance you always have to double check the map to see if they are infact an enemy. Hell, even at short distances it's really annoying not knowing who the next player is. This one for me sucks the enjoyment of the game. It's realistic, but then again it's just a game so why not just show friendly gametags clearly? Checking your map every 3 seconds isn't relistic and everyone hates ff.
-If you play without a mic most of the time you'll be kicked from every squad try you join.
- And lastly the developement team isn't the same as from the start when you had passionte team behind the game and I see this game slowly fading to black.
Short answer: Yes!
Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!
7:42 The best part is, it's not even 60 dollars :)
It is in Canada 🍁
Squad is $37.49 on steam and ends Oct 7th 👍
Should be mandatory to play this game with a mic lol
I think people are worried it ends up like Rust VOIP 😂
if your bored and want team work and fun team pushes get squad, and join a good server
I hot it for $25 on a steam sale
you need to have 5700 and gtx 1080ti the game is not that light anymore i do have more than the recommended hardware and 45fps hardly
I am currently addicted to squad. The game is good.
🙌
do you need a good pc to play squad?
Rtx is recommended for 100+ fps 2060 does 120 fps at max on 1080 Gtx will get you 60+ fps
@@mrtraci5450 i have a gtx 1070
Qbz 95 recoil is too big! They need to fix that
I want to play squad but I’m to scared to talk
i accidentally team killed alot on my first play lol
110% worth it. 1200 hrs played
🙌
If people stopped paying these amounts and wayted for price drops would make the greedy seller a reality check
Squad is so fun. 6 year vet
💪
I bought a key for the game 25$ 100% worth it
Can you play squad on PS4?
No
Serious question: how often have you run into trolls/toxic players on squad. That is the main reason I have not bought the game yet
They’re pretty rare, in about 80 hours of playtime I’ve ran into maybe two.
@@matthewjones39 Teamkilling will happen but it's 99% of the time not intentional. People typically don't mess around with team kill trolling because it's a quick way to get banned from a server. Other than that, you'll get a bit of fun trolling like a friendly intentionally runs you over in a vic, but getting run over doesn't kill you in this game, so you laugh it off and continue on.
As for toxic players... Players in your Squad will typically be chill. If there is going to be any toxicity, it will be in Command chat from time to time. As long as you don't Squad Lead, you really don't have to worry about listening to toxic banter in command chat.
In my 990 hours in Squad, I've really only had one toxic Squad leader. Can't think of a single time I've had a really toxic squad mate or random player from another squad in all honesty.
I bought this game a couple weeks back, any game I join on UK servers, everyone is just speaking Russian, can't understand anything that's going on
Look for Dead on Dismount. It's my server. It is hosted in East Coast US but I'm from the UK and have 0 issues 🙌
