If you do buy the game, come play on my server!! JOIN THE DEAD ON DIMOUNT DISCORD HERE!! ---> discord.gg/cdhyMCkG6h

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.

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.

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.

I started out in 2020 and I can say that it was worth every bill I paid on this game

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!

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.

Squad is worth it for the sound design alone. Best in any game, imo.

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.

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!

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

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.

First meme with the thumbs up had me subscribed 😂 well done lad

Playing since alpha, It has come a LONG way since the infantry only days, Must own.

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.

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.

Thankyou A_Honcho, saved to my permanent playlist, I swear I will buy, and attempt to join!

You have a talent for telling a story I enjoined listening to your voice a lot great work man

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?”

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'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.

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!

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

Thanx, your video is well descriptive.

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.

I paid 31€ back in v10. To hear this game jumped to 60€ is Insane.

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.

I love your videos hancho keep up the good work 👍 and as a member of the squad community I welcome all new blueberries

i loved playing this game a few years ago, Quite tempted to come back and play it some more

What is the song at 5:00 again? I forgot the name, its so good.

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.

Was on the fence until I watched this video. Fantastic info dump tyvm.

What is the song name at 0:12 ?

thank you so much for this video 👍👍

If you love classic military multiplayer games like Delta Force 2, Arma 2 and Battlefield 2 and 3 then this game is for you

Solid video, thank you.

Backed it on KS have almost 1500 hours. Worth.

I’m saving up for the emotes, and then it will finally be worth it.

Glad I bought it for 20 bucks back in 2017 ❤

Yes, I've been playing squad for a very long time. Would definitely still pay for it

so glad i got this game on sale

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!

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

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.

i recently got squad, but the servers on the servers tab wont load

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.

its also one of the funnest games I played with proxy chat

Now I want to buy this game. Thanks man!

I started playing tarkov and this seem like a more chill shooter

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 bought the game and the entire time I was in the game. I was just in loading screens and I was only able to load into one singular game with the 4 to 5 hours I had playtime.

whats the song from the intro?

Coming over from cod, wish me luck haha

This video gave me nostalgia from watching ark tutorials

thank you sir i will be buying tomorrow

I never played this game but I watched clips of this game it's literally like in real life

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

What's the song at the beginning of the video?

Hello can squad play like sandbox? Honestly i dont have a mic to comunicate if its just multiplayer

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?

YES

It's worth it. But if there's a sale, then GET IT!

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

How many playhours should i have to play as a squadleader?

I have one question is it avalable on Xbox x ?

We definitely need more SL’s

does a lot of PPL still play it?...I'm about to buy this

Just enlist, go on a couple of tours, come back with most body parts still intact, and get the game for free...

Got it years ago for 25$ on sale

I’m glad I bought it for $40 in early access.

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.

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.

Yes it is, but too bad after that new update it now only crashes on start up for me...

110% worth it. 1200 hrs played

Super worth it! Squad is for mature players

I really want this to come to console 😢😢

7:42 The best part is, it's not even 60 dollars :)

Percent of action vs walking simulator time?

I am currently addicted to squad. The game is good.

Anyone know the song used in the game showcase?

One of the best servers to play on is The Potato Fields

Short answer: Yes! Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!

Should be mandatory to play this game with a mic lol

if your bored and want team work and fun team pushes get squad, and join a good server

any good NA servers recommendation anyone? im new

yes

Is this like HLL mixed with Arma 3 but modern?

This was epic

Would you pick Hell Let Loose over Squad? Im struggling what to buy..

Squad is so fun. 6 year vet

do you need a good pc to play squad?

I hot it for $25 on a steam sale

i accidentally team killed alot on my first play lol

Yes worth it, 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Worth every penny

Squad is $37.49 on steam and ends Oct 7th 👍

I bought a key for the game 25$ 100% worth it

Squad its the bast reality game ever ❤❤❤

If people stopped paying these amounts and wayted for price drops would make the greedy seller a reality check

Not gonna lie I always end up playing MEE or the zombie, Star Wars and Starship troopers servers
