This is a great game when you can get a good, coordinated, squad together to play with. The majority of players have and use comms. It can take a good amount of time to catch on to the lingo and learn how to use the maps and other functions of the game. I recommend playing as a rifleman or a medic to start off to learn the basics.

It’s outrageous that Steam lets developers overhaul a game so drastically that suddenly the system requirements force players to buy new hardware. Either this should be against policy, devs should be forced to release last old-engine version as optional, or refunds should be mandatory. Nobody who has put up with this broken mess for a decade should now be punished with forced PC upgrades just to keep playing this still broken shiiit.

Game now looks and runs like shit.
Instead of making squad 2 or something you took away an okay product from paying customers only to replace it with something that they cant run. Feels like a scam.

Most likely one of the best shooters out there. It is the mid point between battlefield and Arma. It is not arcade but at the same time it is not too slow for my liking. It is a deep tactical game where coop is a must. Players are expected to fit into squads and follow the squad leader's orders, who is in contact with all other squads to achieve the set objectives. Use of the microphone is key and expected, as well as heavy usage of the map. Communication is, in summary, paramount. It is unlike any other game I've played in this regard, and at such a scale. Gameplay is quite unique due to this, both being infantry and vehicle crewman is fun if you play with friends. It tries to be quite realistic, and it does well in this regard. There are some roles I don't like that much, like mortars and logistics, since they are quite boring. Playing frontline infantry, spec-ops and vehicles is where I have the most fun, since it brings you closer to the action.Give it a try if you have friends to play with, otherwise it might be frustrating and/or boring.

on 2 accounts i have roughly 5000 hours, and the false promises and lack of QUALITY content updates has finally broke me, AND now you have hackers screwing with the server browser to send a message that most of the community is wanting. AND THEY STILL HAVENT FIXED IT 3 DAYS LATER... Optimization updates, more frequent updates and content, there has been an audio bug in the game for nearly 3 years and they STILL wont fix it. they are killing there own game, it has so much potential but they neglect it. Squad is OWI's bread and butter and they are killing it. you have to have 4 sales in like 9 months to bring a population back. get a grip and fix your game.

With the UE5 Update the Game is unplayable, i went from 60-100FPS on maxed out settings (GTX 1080, i7-8700k, 16 GB RAM, 1080p Monitor) to 20FPS on LOW, with Massive stutters, failure to load textures and models. the game now looks like a pixelated blurry mess.

Who scoped this update? Why? There are so many known bugs in the game that haven't been fixed in literal years. Now we have more bugs, and worse performance. With everything but the most scaled up AA settings, your whole screen is a blurry mess to where you can't see any players.
Don't buy this game.

I love Squad but after the current update they rolled out an update that changed the system requirements and now I cannot play the game I paid for.
