Is Squad good? Or should I just keep playing PR for now.

>>323055226
I just bought it. Gonna try it out and get back to you

>Alpha
Keep playing PR until it's at least in Beta. Once Squad is released I'm sure a lot of people that play PR will move on to something that isn't so clunky and outdated even if it is nostalgic for BF2.

Do it.

>>323055226
It's pretty solid, but it doesn't have enough content yet. It will be great when they add vehicles.

>>323057341
T-they haven't added vehicles yet? What else is missing?

I'm having flashbacks.

Since guys that play PR are ITT...what the fuck can I do to get a good framerate? I put most things on low or medium but it's still struggling on a lot of maps.

It's not like I have a toaster either.

just doesn't cut it with some games, especially the Unreal engine

.t former FX8350 owner

>>323057454
maps and weapons mostly.

>>323057704
I know what you mean, but these guys arn't incompetent they are using UE4 and not that shitty arma engine which gives me hope.

>>323058268
That's what I've noticed as well. With games that utilize only one CPU core, the 8150 is pathetic.

Shiiet, dude. I have a R9 290 and FX-6350. Will Squad not run well for me?

>>323058856
I'd honestly wait. From what I've read so far AMD CPUs are hovering around 20 to 30 fps right now. Not sure if that's worth it for you though.


>>323058686
I have to say though, I streamed some games over Steam to friends and no FPS issues at all. That was really impressive for such a cheap CPU.

>>323059184
I just want to play at like 60 FPS, preferably 70-90 FPS.

>>323059184
they did a hotfix for this but I don't know if it works for everyone.

I have i5 4th gen, but I get random hickups due to my 750ti even though I have constant 60+ fps.

>>323055226
I'd wait for vehicles and the logistics/supply system. Game plays nothing like PR without them, eveverybody is just running around willynilly.

>>323057704

kek, Squad is NOTHING like the dayz devs, they've actually already implemented shit within a month

>>323058363
>shitty arma engine which gives me hope.
But ARMA had already vehicles implemented, what the fuck took DayZ SO so long?

Anon, no game released as "Early access" on steam will ever come out of Alpha.
ever
It's a meme by the industry to be able to say "don't worry our game might be shit now, but it's not even halfway finished XD"

>>323059919
No they haven't. There has been one minor patch, the next first major patch was told to come out the end of this month

>>323059945

absolute shit devs? Dayz is the biggest scam to ever hit early access.

>>323060085
DayZ was shit even when it was a mod. I will never understand why it was so popular.

>>323059945
They're shitty programmers and had to implement their own systems into the vehicles(the fuel and repair thing) and also probably had to do work on them from a networking POV

>>323060061

I'll just ignore the updates on the steamlog then

>>323060243
>2 minor patches

Not exactly what I'd call "Implementing stuff"

>>323060706

If you consider it was just released, I would.

Honestly I prefer Insurgency

>>323061289
Insurgency is aight. The maps are way too small for me though, it feels like a tactical realistic counterstrike.

Also having Source as the game engine wasn't the best choice.

I still like it though. There are some pretty great mods for it too.

>>323057086
I ended up asking for a refund. It feels nice, yes, but there's too much missing for it to even be playable. Stick with PR for now.

>>323062787
>want to play squad
>early access
>40 fucking dollars for early access
Like holy shit I would have just bought it if it was $20, that's way to fucking much to spend on a game in progress

>>323063049
pretty sure we're not in the minority with that

How bad is the cancer? I hear the game has an issue with elitist squad leaders acting like cunts and team killers.

>>323064180
Sure, but I was hoping Squad might do something to combat that.

>>323064410
I don't think there IS a way to combat it. Sure, maybe more admin vigilance but that'd just end up in a bunch of ass-sore pansies spamming the report key each time they get cursed at by their squad leader.

>>323063997
I'd say even more elitists hopped over to Squad. PR got way better though

>>323057758
About 45-60 fps on my 8350.

>>323059184
Holy crap, that's some unoptimized shit.

>>323057454
some weapons, vehicles, stats, randomly generated cities within maps, working ping count, hooks but right now its pretty playable but nowhere near its peak yet. I made the jump from PR to Squad anyways and I dont regret it desu

>>323068204
>randomly generated cities within maps
Clever. We need more shooters taking advantage of procedural generation, without going fully procedural. There's definitely a perfect balance between hand made and procedural, but nobody has found it yet.

Git gud and you wouldn't get shit talked.

>>323069053
Nah, it's not just that. Sure I mean, you get squad leaders that freak out over anybody who is new and learning. But the real cancer is squad leaders who suck ass and freak out over anyone who doesn't follow their orders to the letter, even if they have a much better plan.

Elitist cancer are usually shitters who can't actually play the game properly, and try to hide that by screaming and acting like they're really soldiers.
