they give you a gun and a map so you're set the most important buttons to learn are in the loading screen thing and they'll tell you which keys to press to complain to your commanding sperglord

Thief posted:they give you a gun and a map so you're set I’d love to poo poo post but Thief always has me covered already. No but really, Squad is kinda like Red Orchestra style grit, with better in-game tools for communication and organization. It’s not hard to get into, but especially when you are new it’s easy to get a beating if your squad leader sucks. Just weather the bad roubds and have patience, it’ll come around.

Things I wish someone had told me when I was new: Rebinding the map key to Tab and the map zoom key to ~ (scoreboard to M). And then use the poo poo out of that map. Play Medic a lot and follow your squad lead around. Don't even worry about shooting, just learn how to keep yourself alive and pick up your teammates for a while. When you're calling in contacts, only use bearings in local. Your bearing is only useful for the dudes directly around you anyway. For squad talk, just say "he's south of xyz." where xyz is some other reference point everyone instantly knows their position relative to. "Contacts south of train station, coming from the east." would be perfect. Stop it with that "enemies on my body!" crap that everyone does. It's not quite useless, but it's pretty close. Also nearly as useless is giving exact map grid coordinates. Both require someone pulling up the map and staring at it to figure out your poo poo. edit: Last thing, be proud & call out your kills. It's helpful for the rest of the squad to know where enemies are dying and how well the fight is going. Fender fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Feb 8, 2018 |

Charisma + Microphone => Good_Squad. imo 90% of the fun in this game is just keeping a nice conversation going throughout the round, regardless of how well or poorly the match is going for your team. Great tips. What I do is ScrollDown to open/close the map, and ScrollUp to zoom the map. I love it.

I'll probably be on in three or four hours if anyone wants in, and will probably be squad leading. Hopefully the server queue's won't be as bad as they've been the last few nights. This disco's been up for a while but not many people use it - https://discord.gg/0uFJ3HEgdwubcZzL Map awareness is key. Having surround sound is also really important. Combine those two things together and you'll be pinpointing enemies without ever seeing them.

I think they're currently getting post scriptum caught up with some of the newer engine features and subsequent bugs worked out, as they released a close alpha for a bunch of streamers recently. . People who make other people watch them play video games used to be the biggest rear end holes as kids, but I digress. But anyway they seem to have a good armor model with localized damage, aircraft etc. I'd imaging they're trying to get as much v10 in atm as possible before release Hell Let Loose is currently taking preorders again 30$ to get in their early access bid. I won't lie I resurrected a dead broken link they never purged from google and preordered it about a month ago, but now it's nice to know I'm actually receiving it lol.

PS are separate devs, I believe they are paying the Squad devs to use their framework and deliver ongoing support. It looks like it could be good, although I’m not sure what it really offers that Squad does not.

This game is still hampered by the fact you can't PuG and expect a decent experience most of the time. They have added layer after layer after layer of complexity and the knowledge and skill floor required to be half decent at SL is just too high. Half the squad leads don't know wtf is going on at all.

My experience is that as a Squad Leader PUGGING you will get a squad full of random idiots and its hard to make anything work. Game definately best played with a premade squad though.

The base game is good but round after round it's complete loving dumbass squadleaders sinking the team because they think driving a truck full of friendlies right into occupied points at the beginning of the round trying to be greedy delta dans pulling off some grand plan then everyone's dead and all the logis are missing in action and the round basically is over within a minute. When you got a team full of SLs that talk and build fobs and don't put the team in a situation where 40 people are spawning in a garage with two exits covered by machine guns and RPGs, game's brilliant. No joke one of the best squadleaders I have had recently was like a 12 year old kid (he was responsive to the situation on the ground and made sure to always build a fob before the next big attack) and the worst are dudes that sound like fatass pogues trying to leverage their marine corps fueler experience into the game and had the tactical genius of "spawn here and shoot at bads until you die, then do it again". People need to start figuring out the way to win is not to capture points but to destroy radios. Justin Tyme fucked around with this message at 19:08 on May 8, 2018 |

People need to start figuring out the way to win is not to capture points but to destroy radios. The worst is when a point is being overrun, so what's the best thing to do? Ah, yes, run in the exact opposite direction of the enemy over open ground. Somehow the SL gets across the road safely, and then he says to the folks trailing "Oh yeah, smoke out before you cross", and then an APC comes out and blows everyone to pieces. He then proceeds to complain nobody's with him to make a new rally point, and everyone repeatedly dies because the old rally point's been overrun.

Half the squad leads don't know wtf is going on at all. It's very easy to be a decent and effective SL. You might not be able to fully make use of everything available, but putting people in the right place and getting guns pointed the right way is often good enough.

Tanks combat is awesome. 3 of us in a Cromwell took out a Panther by driving up to it's rear end and hitting it, and moving quicker than they could move their turret and kiting it. Loved it.

Had a mobile spawn point circling around the objective last night stopping every minute or so to let people spawn until a random guy tk's the driver and takes the truck right into the objective still being held by Germans. Ruined the rest of the game. Sad.

This game really reminds me of WW2 Online. I put thousands of hours into that when I was a kid and am excited to waste a bunch of time on this as well. My only qualm now is that you some times end up running like insanely far, cause the map is gigantic. I know that is kind of a side-effect of a bad logistics company or poor mobile spawn planning, but it still sucks when you run 10 minutes or so. I'm excited for the game but it definitely is going to benefit with patching. At the moment maps won't rotate so everyone has to leave the server. Also, my textures seem fudged up and look terrible no matter what setting I put. I was lucky enough to be an MG34 in the right place at the right time and mowed down an entire brit squad in one magazine. They were lined up in a perfect line, I wish I captured it on vid.

Just had a game come down on time, ~30 tickets on the Airborne to 50 on the SS, we won on the final point (forget the map unfortunately, last point is something Bridge.) The way the net slowly tightens as more and more people encircle a point from the attacking team feels a lot like extented WW2O fights and was super fun. Unfortunately on the technical side the game is a bit of a mess, for me anyway. Grass pops in for a long time after you load in the map, on each spawn even, eventually around 30 minutes it finally just stayed loaded. AA is abysmal, which makes spotting people in hedges a treat. Textures sometimes never load full LOD, especially soldiers uniforms and ground.

Really enjoying PS so far but there are definitely some performance issues. Had to turn down some settings and still textures don't always load quite right. That's all stuff that should hopefully be sorted out by release, the basic gameplay is fantastic. Mouse aim feels a little off, but I may just need to tweak sensitivity some more.

I'm definitely having some sort of technical issue because the game looks absolutely awful (like running the game at a non-native res before competent built in scaling was a thing awful) and is completely unplayable both because I can't see poo poo and it chugs constantly. Squad runs and looks amazing on my machine (GTX980) with most of the settings maxed, so I know it's not that.

I had to turn everything down to medium to get the frame rates playable, so it pretty much looks like WW2OL. It's fun, but the maps need some work and capture points need moved to more interesting locations that already exist on a lot of them.
