this game is nice but solely depends on the people your playin with i wouldnt have bought it knowing this, this game still needs alot of work and the player base tends to be a bunch of idiots that dont know the difference between friendly and enemy along with the fact of how many ppl waist vehicles causing you to lose the game before it starts. Long story short your team tends to hinder you more than the enemy does.

The performance is a disaster, worst optimization, low cpu and gpu usage low framerate on low settings (RTX 3060 with R7 4800h)
Also the UI is trash, last century games have better UI

Great casual MILSIM, probably, best on the market right now.
BUT
Still a huge mess.
Bugs are not fixed for years, even when community comes up with ways on how to fix it what do developers do? Implement the fix? No, they ban people who were talking about it.
Players can legaly cheat in game just modifying game config.
What do developers do to players who suggest something about it and talking about problems? They just ban them.
Nice way to build your community.
Game is kinda good and playable right now, but it won't last because they are pushing huge update that "will change everything", especially performance.
Not-So-Dear, Devs!
You can't upgrade to UE5 if you don't know what you are doing. PiP scopes were figured out back in Arma 2, and yet in your game it freezes, stutters and almost crashes every time you open it. Why? I guess because it re-shades everything with lumen + nanite every time you open your scope. Did you think about it before hand? I guess, no. Game has zero optimisation and zero FPS on most maps, it is literally unplayable. And you know why? Because you, guys, are using technology you don't know ♥♥♥♥ about. You can't just smack Lumen + Nanite + DLSS on everything, especially in huge multiplayer envirnoments and hope it will be fine, it won't. Unreal Engine 5 is a beast, but you need to know how to tame it. If you release this half-baked "HUGE UPGRADE", i gurantee, you will face a huge backlash and Overwhelmingly Negative Steam reviews. Think twice, pls :)
Overall, company owning it is not very smart and not very community-freindly, so think twice when buying.
To be fair, game is really good if you want a kinda casual MILSIM experience. But expect a lot of bugs, lags, toxic community, legal cheating, huge performance drops and so on.
Review will stay negative until all stupid issues will be resolved.

You haven’t truly known fear until you hear a BTR rolling toward you… and you’re out of LAT.
You haven’t known brotherhood until eight strangers crawl through the mud under gunfire just to get you back on your feet.
Squad isn’t about winning.
It’s about suffering together — like men.
The game doesn’t hold your hand.
It puts a shovel in it, points at the dirt, and says: “Start digging.”
During the war in Ukraine, I experienced real fear. The kind that stays in your bones.
And somehow, Squad helped me face that — not by glorifying combat, but by simulating the chaos, the pressure, the radio static, and the unpredictability of it all.
It didn’t numb me.
It made me feel less alone.
It helped me process.
Through it all — medics risking everything, chaotic firefights, desperate FOB holds — I found a strange kind of comfort in the voices of complete strangers who had my back.
Squad isn’t just a game.
It’s a reminder that even in the worst moments — someone’s still trying to revive you.
10/10. Thank you, devs.

This is hands down the worst shooter I have ever played. My M4 must weigh 400lbs and shoot 7.62, because the soldiers this game must be based on cant even hold their own heads upright. Out of my thousands of hours of mil-sims and shooters this game disgrace to mil-sims everywhere.

Not worth picking up with guaranteed performance issues. Instead of ever fixing that, they are just working on a new engine that gets even worse fps than before. Gotta love smoothbrain logic

I like squad-Squad is my favorite game currently. BUT I feel the weapons, factions, vehicles all seem either nerfed or just not keeping up with the military advancements going on currently, it just feels like a 2013 military simulator. 12 years ago this would have been the best game to ever hit the market but it isn't keeping up. MEA is going to be Iran? What is that? It has 0 Iranian weapons or equipment. Like I said, best game i own but like all the other games, it has it's faults.

A good game mired by sweaty tryhards that curse you out if you don't play to their rigid standards. Shame to see.

Spawned in. Heard gunfire. Ran toward it for 15 minutes. Turns out it was our gunfire. I died to friendly mortars. Twice.
Respawned. Got lost. Hid in a bush for safety. Tree provided comfort. Named it Greg. Greg was my only friend.
Then I got shot in the back by a child with a Mosin. Greg watched it all.
