Squad - Tactical FPS


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

The guys who made Project Reality are doing a brand new game - it's on KS at the moment:

They've been working on it for a while already. Looks good so far and given their long experience with PR Squad should strike a good balance between realism and fun while also giving 50 v 50 online MP. For those who back at $70 or higher you'll be able to get EA in 4-6 weeks.

Backed.

 

This seems like a great game.

fps are totally ruined by cheaters

 

at least in piloting games cheating is not that decisive in a 52k players racing leaderboard a hacker is second to me but i accept when playing counterstrikle for example that im facing 90% hackers and have to adapt my tactics to it and lose badly

I backed the game as well, you should try Project Reality, it's quite good !

PR is now stand alone too since the 1.3 release recently - no install of BF2 required.

backed ground branch instead.

 

proven pedigree+makers of ghost recon and rainbow six. the real deal.

 

squad looks like another cash in on the indie multiplayer pseudo realism combined arms shooter. arma 3 clone fl.

Squad is made by a good team with renown (Project Reality, TAC BF for ArmA III), and is likely to suceed,

Ground branch didn't even finish his kickstarter

Ground branch looks like it could be good as well. But it's a very different focus to Squad. GB will have a small team focus whereas Squad will be 50 v 50 PvP. With PR the guys were able to strike a good balance between realism and fun. They know the formula that works and I'd be confident they can deliver. 

 

One of the problems with GB is that it's basically just 2 or 3 guys working on it in their spare time over the past 6+ years. Squad has about 20 contributors. While both have a proven track record you'll be playing Squad long before GB most likely. There's already a good few early pre-alpha videos on YouTube showing MP combat:

Ground Branch and SQUAD both seem like interesting alternatives.

 

I'd really like to see maps for SQUAD like Afghanistan, or even Vietnam! That would be really, really awesome!

I backed this as well, and this recent patch has cleaned up the infantry weapons alot, its a good time, though getting a bit boring with lack of content (thats alpha for you).  The other issue is that this game requires a large portion of your team to not only be competent, but willing to follow the squad leaders or your team gets steam rolled.   So its a case of needing about 7 of 10 things to go absolutely right to have a decent experience.

because everyone knows kickstarter success is a measurement of quality of development. *cough* star citizens *cough* going bankrupt *cough*

 

and the millions of minecraft and indie games on kickstarter that got funded are definitely going to be good and interesting games.

 

ground branch didn't get funded because people are ignorant as fuck. end of story. most people today probably think rainbow six vegas was the first rainbow six game.

Star Citizen hasn't gone bankrupt though.

Many things in Squad are pretty basic(character animations especially), but I thought the reactions these grenade particle effects get from different surfaces were nice(e.g., leaves, embers, tiny shrapnel flashes, structure dust).

Two different games, two types of fun. I like them both.

 

I dont think there is a need to pick sides.
