Squad

get in game, spawn in, run for 30 minutes, die.

Wait 30 seconds to respawn, respawn, die

repeat until you magically end up becoming a beast for 10 minutes mowing down people like a maniac

die, wait 30 seconds, respawn, keep chasing the high from the last time you did something remotely useful, get spawn camped, die, lose the game

quit the game, wait 10 minutes, open the game again, repeat all above.

Best dying simulator

honestly one of my favorite star wars games, and the devs even threw in a little mini game called squad to boot! 10/10

With my amount of time in this game there are about 6 different type of teammates you'll get
1. Funny retarded teammates
2. Hardcore Mil-Sim teammates
3. Communicative teammates
4. Deaf teammates
5. 'frick it we ball' teammates
6. No communication teammates
With all these different types of teammates and factions, you can make a fun or hard challenging game. Also constant updates help with players coming back. If your a impatient person this is the game for you. If your a patient person this is the game for you. No matter your personality is, this game is overly fun and has many different ways to play,

The King is dead. Long live the King.
As a long-time fan of the Battlefield franchise I can safely say that I wholly regret not taking the plunge and jumping into Squad much sooner. It is truly the spiritual successor of the old school Battlefield games before they were casualized by the console audiences and arcade shooter fanboys. Squad is the game Battlefield could have grown into, instead it fell from grace and left a gap that games like Squad now fill perfectly. It has enough arcade-like mechanics that make it playable for really anybody who has a solid attention span, but it's simulation enough to keep the aforementioned player types out of the game.
The graphics aren't the most realistic but it fits the game just fine, and the audio is exceptional (unless you're counting teammate's mics.) but make sure you start the game muted because master and music audio starts at 100% and it will HURT. The game has seen some very limited released MTX, and while that does worry me with what happened with similar MilSim-lite games, I think it isn't the worst yet but I will be keeping an eye on how it unfolds in the coming weeks/months.
I enjoy a LOT of different aspects of Squad, but the key factor is immersion. I won't lie, I'm older now and can't play the twitch shooters like I used to, so a game that puts victory or defeat squarely on strategy, communication, and small-scale tactics is amazing. However my favorite aspect of Squad is the same reason I fell in love with games like Hell Let Loose and the like: Immersion. Everything is faction specific: weapons, uniforms, vehicles, maps. I don't have to worry about someone coming along in hot pink and gold tiger striped camo wielding an M4A1 as an Insurgent, or seeing an RU airborne soldier decked out in all black with a flaming skull for a helmet while using a sniper rifle at CQC ranges. This game is NOT about your individuality as a player, it isn't about showing off your achievements or challenges with skins and paints. It's about being just one nameless grunt on a larger battlefield. If you want individual and personal get involved with your squad and those in your AO, but don't come looking for a way to stand out in-game outside of sheer skill.
The best feature of Squad, however, is how surprisingly welcoming and helpful the community is. Sure, you get games where nobody talks or chat is toxic asf, but for the most part the game has been amazing for it's players. Dropping in on one of my first games, being asked if I had a mic, and being able to say "Yeah, but it's my first game, so IDK what's up' and then having the whole damn squad basically give you a TL;DR and in-game (and better explained) tutorial of the game as you proceed to experience firefights and small skirmishes that wouldn't be out of place in a major picture like Black Hawk Down or The Hurt Locker. If you're one of those disenfranchised vets of games like Battlefield like I was, don't sleep on Squad like I did. It takes a bit more focus to pick up but once you have the basics the game is a vast and intricate, yet still accessible and fun, title to play either with friends or whoever happens to be in a squad you join.

Over 2000 hours. Been playing Squad for like 10 years of and on. It's been through it's ups and downs but I keep coming back. I've met a few of the devs before in Austin during a hackathon/game jam and they were very polite and kind. There are cosmetic in game purchases but no pay to win or segmenting the player base. Sometimes the community can get toxic but the nsfw humor can also be fun depends on the server admins. Game developers like this deserve community support imo. I've bought the game 3 times for myself and to give to friends.

Probably the friendliest gaming community active today! It’s a great game that takes away the unnecessary locks of leveling and superiority of rich/ higher level players. We all are on the same level and are here to play a game. It simulates combat very well and is stilling adding more to feel the immersion and intensity of battle. Wether you come to this game for fun and relaxation, or a serious military experience, this is the game for you! 10/10 Stars would play again and again and do! Everytime you play it’ll feel like an action movie experience!

Due to my severe color blindness, I often struggle to spot enemies, even when they're just a few feet away. As a result, I usually end up as a medic or driver. Despite this challenge, I've still managed to thoroughly enjoy playing this game, leaving it as a 8 out of 10 for me.
