/jsg/ Squad General

Any has any input as to how this game runs right now? I've got an i7-940, 6gb, and a 560Ti. Should I even bother yet?

>>125540538
Should be playable, will probably want to turn settings down and stick to 50 player servers at the moment though. You can always use the steam refund if it doesn't run.

>>125539341
How is the player base, retard youtube fan tier, pr after 1.0 or pr before 1.0?

>>125543256
Mixed bag right now, most people have no idea what they're doing since it just released to the public but you can still find squads that will work together.

>>125544078
To add to this, the $40 pricetag does sort of act as a filter similarly to the pre-standalone requirement of having BF2

Thanks for stepping up and making the general m8.

Was getting tired of sifting through squad after squad of notalkers.

Is it any good at the moment, or should I just stick to Insurgency?

Is there any urban combat? I like the cramped and close combat of insurgency a lot more than shooting at the black dot on the hill 400m in Arma.

Is there a good range of weapons in the game? One of the turnoffs of Insurgency is how each class only has a handful of weapons to pick from. I miss the Rainbow Six days of having dozens of rifles to pick from.

>>125550989
Current weapon selection is pretty limited, mostly AK and AR pattern rifles, plus a few special kits the SVD and M249. Whatever faction you're playing on their standard issue rifle is what most classes will have.

>>125550909
I'd recommend you watch some videos/streams and decided for yourself

The combat is mostly medium range and close range with a good amount of urban fighting, depending on the map. Engagement ranges are much closer on average than arma.

Post your map/faction wishlists.

no world wars allowed

>>125552781
Have they said anything about adding more? I understand wanting a realistic, but I like some variety.

And it definitely makes sense in the case of the insurgent forces. They should have AKs, AKMs, AK74s, AK103s, SKSs, Mosin Nagants, M16s, ARs, and every other rifle under the sun.

I also wish games would have really nigg'd up guns.

>>125555891
They'll likely add more as they add more factions.

They're using PR as a development reference.

First day review

Surprised how fast you gain the enemy detection vision for this game, brains are neat.
Item switching is very slow, which might be fine, but it often causes incorrect selections because animation finishes can sometimes override selections.
You can prep and store certain smoke grenades, which is good since the animation for the bounded smokes is insane.
Medic UX needs an overhaul, there is no indication of injury or downing on map, only in proximity compass. When you revive people they teleport. Item switch is nightmarish here.
Only played on 1 night map, never saw dawn/dusk map.
$40 is simply overpriced, but $30 preorder price was acceptable. At least it will help keep out the Mexicans.

When are the adding zombies?

>>125567454
>$40 is overpriced
They've got a fraction of their planned content out the door thus far.

Better 40 now with 6maps, 4factions and a ton of planned content in the immediate future than hiking the price up later.

A $40 down payment for 1-3 years worth of roadmap seems acacceptable to me. If it was a full 60 I could see it being a pain.

>>125568307
>4 factions

Yeah and all the classes in the factions look the same and have similar kits.

The amount of content in the game just doesn't compare to other $40 games.

>>125568307
They have only committed to being retail ready in early 2017. While they have confirmed that all content will be free, it might turn out to be only community maps being reappropriated, or nothing at all. You can play Minesweeper for 10 years but that doesn't make it worth a certain amount.

>>125570049
I don't know how people still defend early access after the number of times we've been burned.

Once sales slow, devs just stop updating and release what they have as "retail". See: KSP

I'm on the edge about getting it. On one hand it's a tactical shooter with an actual objective so its bettebette r than arma, but on the other hand the current assets make it look like a mid-level 360 game

>>125568307
What factions do they have?

Germans?

Chinese

Or just Operator Dude Bros and "Not-IS"

How is the inventory-system here, relateble to Arma? Can you stock ammo for your teammates? Can you pick up weapons and items from downed allies/enemies? Customization of weapons, silencer optics etc, possible?

Is there nighttime and dynamic time on the servers? Only TvT, no coop?

How big is the maps, compared to say Altis and Stratis?

>>125572896
US Army
Russian Ground Forces
Insurgents (Afghanistan)
Irregular Militia (Eastern Europe)
Are currently implemented.

Rebel factions are likely to remain generalized because Jews.

>>125573130
no inventory management or customization, only classes.

the idea is that when you see someone with a specific kit/class you know exactly what their capabilities are and it's easier for the squad leader to manage.

>>125550484
Just people who dont understand what the game is mate. They will go in about a week after every update/full release

>>125543256
PR when 1.3 came out plus the servers cant handle people so lag spikes are an issue

>>125550909
Play PR if you like it you will like Squad

>>125557669
In the words of /wgg/ FUCK OFF. We dont want your cancer here

>>125571515
Just play PR until there is more to do in Squad.

It will be good its just not even close to the full game.

>>125573798
Yeah, I get that. Less special snowflakes around with weird gear because that's their flavour (which I am usually guilty of in Arma).

How is the ingame communication?

>>125573468
>because Jews
PR impliments specific factions all the time. eg the newish Syria map

>>125574360
Not him but totally stable and clear

Its just the retards on the other end that are the problem

>>125574360
ingame voip is really good, same quality as teamspeak more or less.

you have local positional voice, squad comms voice and squal leader command voice

>>125574376
I know. Squad devs have said in interview that the faction is a generic Insurgent group because reasons.

so this is another soft ARMA copy with no vehicles atm?

why so many early access shit games on steam right now, release the game when it's at least in beta lmao

>>125574670
Mate its gonna be PR but new engine and more options available for development

Its not soft arma its just a different way of representing the same thing

>>125574656
For now.

Can't find the old milsim general so im posting here

Is this game good?

>>125579576
Yeah it is

>>125579576
>subscription based
No, it's not.

>>125574670
Its playable and fun as it is now, so why not release. I know its popular to hate on early access, but a lot of games like this and KSP would never get made otherwise. Its hard to get publishers to front the capital to make these niche titles, especially if you are a new studio.

And yes, it is basically a soft ARMA. Which is fine. ARMA goes too far with sim, it just isn't fun anymore. Sitting behind a tree shooting at another treeline 400m away for 20 minutes gets old fast.

I really want to get into the game, but
Every game I join is full of team killers

Every game I join nobody uses their mics

Every game I join people ignore the objective
and play it as if it were deathmatch

2 hours of gameplay and not a single ounce of fun just people shooting each other with no goal
I almost at the steam refund cap, but I really want to get into this game it seems so much fun. (From the videos and stories i've seen).

>>125593495
Wait it out. Eventually the kids run back to COD, and you'll either stumble upon a decent server, or find a group through other channels.

From the dev - irontaxi

'If i can speak personally the fact that a business is getting 1. The revenue to fulfill its objectives and 2. Managing to do it without having to bloat its peripherary roles. (Ps. Never heard additional support staff mentioned) is a win.

We are having this heated discussion because we are right smack dab on the cusp of the consumer threshold for price.

That means we have a lot of convincing to do which is exactly where we want to be.

You guys have no idea.. we are about to turn this up to 11 with a large group of our developers finally coming on fulltime.

Prepare the feel the power of our fully operational squad team!!!'

Hey fags.
You want squads that actually do shit?

All you have to do is run your own damn squads.

>>125629981
cool this game looks like a better version of insurgency in the making.

Why is the training mode so useless? You can't even select a fucking marksman rifle in it.

>range goes out to 700m

>>125555891
You got to remember professional militaries use standard issue firearms and that a big part of the game is army vs army.

If they add more militaries, you'll get more guns.

Game is alright in its current form. Super stable and well optimized.

Insurgency mode can get boring as fuck when it turns into basebuilding and taking potshots. Nowhere near PR levels of insurgency fun. Vehicles, civilians and being able to grab cool shit from caches will probably improve this. Doesn't help that the current insurgency maps are just open country with a few obviously suspicious compounds instead of chaotic built-up areas like fallujah or basra

Regular territorial control with tickets is the most fun and gameplay seems to get going very quickly. Had a blast holding down some castle ruin in a forest map, alamo style. Constantly trading gunfire and rpgs across fields with many close encounters from flanking burgersoldiers. Also militia gorka camo looks fucking cool.

I have never seen so much cancer. Its literally just posting 5 year old meme macros with stuff vagually related to Squad, and shitty youtube highlight videos of lonewolf noscope snipers.

Is this game going to get killed by the meme community like ARMA 2 did?

>>125679371
>what do you mean the SVD is a marksman rifle.

Thats what I mean. Russian are the only faction with a fucking marksman rifle?

How bad is the player base at the moment? Can I get my autistic PR experience or do I need to wait for 5 years before it's playable?

>>125680725
yeah the Russian and the insurgents are the only ones with a "real" marksman rifle, the Americans have a normal AR with an ACOG scope, the magnification of the ACOG and the scope on the SVD seems to be the same.

>>125681090
Its super autistic right now because its still mostly pre-alpha guys.

Its only going to get worse. As the game gets on youtube, all the DayZ and Rust kiddies will flock to it.

>>125681170
Because of the games shitty ballistics though, the AR is basically unusable past 100m. The bullet arc is so grossly exaggerated, and the bullet speed is fucking slow it feel more like you are throwing stones than shooting a gun.

>>125681713
considering that you only have bullet drop in the game atm. I am pretty glad that there isn't a bolt action rifle with good optics. Since it would decimate everyone.
Heck even the SVD at the moment destroy an entire enemy squad at long ranges.

Vietnam/US vs Vietcong

Can we talk about Rally Points and how they are fucking up the pace of the game? They might as well give you the option to spawn at Squad leader. In PR rally points were very limited and used as last resort. In Squad you can spam them how many times you want and use them as an FOB. It's really ruining the pace of the game. You never know where the enemy are coming from or if they will come back after you have killed them since they can spawn 50 meters away on their Rally Point. Please someone tell me they will fix this.

>>125700191

Game is chaotic as fuck. Basically like Battlefield right now. Wait before you buy.

>>125706457
I completely agree with you. I thin that the rallys will be nerfed once we get logistics and transportation.
