migrate from squad or stay?

[bareq]

does it feel like squad or is it more hardcore
i like getting into the fun quick, a little drive here and there in a logi is fine, but spending 15 minutes driving is a no for me
any advice?

[Paradox1126]

Definitely feels like squad but also can feel like a sandbox at times. Definitely a lot more freedom with load outs and such. I think Squad is great but it never pulled me away from Arma. I think you should give it a go

havent bothered with squad since i bought reforger, guy above is spot on in that it feels like a sandbox, but it never feels directionless or like a match of squad where no sls are talking and its just a countdown until the game ends. you can load up a truck full of rockets and set ambushes, you can attack a point, you can play defense for a point, you can do anything that satisfies you honestly. have fun kisses and hugs

If you grab a vehicle like a tank from your main base and then take it all the way to the front line it will absolutely be 15 mins. Youll spend 5 mins loading it up with gas and ammo

Every time I die, on average it takes 3 mins or so waiting on a chopper and it to fill up followed by 3 mins of flying then about 4 mins of walking to objective, then contact. Sometimes your chopper gets shot down and so it can be 3 mins waiting, 3 mins flying, being shot down, 3 mins of waiting, 3 mins of flying, 4 mins of walking and then you are the first guy dead. So now you rush to get back into the fight so 3 mins of waiting, 3 mins of flying, 4 mins of walking and now the point is taken and you didnt shoot. So you wait for 4 mins to get picked up, 3 mins of flying, 4 mins of walking and then contact again. You very much so can go 20 mins without doing anything.

Squad gets you back in the fight quicker. But I genuinely like this game, even though I do more riding around than fighting it feels like.

this is my alt account. i bought it, played a little and its just too boring, the map is too big without any reason but making the game more tedious. i thought it was gonna be a squad alternative but its just arma3
everyone speaks russian and theres no spawn point near objective, meaning i need to take a car there everytime i die. boooringggg and cringe. just another walking/driving simulator
just requested a refund

It is nothing like squad.
It is much more free form gameplay.
team cooperation is not enforced, and the game economy when it comes to vehicles and kits is much much more forgiving compared to squad.
Also the gameplay is much more snappy and gamey/arcady if that makes sense.

Also the majority of armored vehicles here are modded only,and although some of them look very detailed, mechanically they are junk.
In general the modded servers provide more of a "battlefieldesk experience rather than a mil sim one."

calling the modded servers not a milsim is so crazy lmfao, i would love to hear what you get out of squad that you don't get out of a wcs or nemesis server on reforger besides having to listen to a squad lead that doesn't have any clue what hes doing.


edit that ill add to this is, you kinda have to be social to roll with a group on reforger, where as in squad you just have to click join on a squad and listen to the voice in your headset. this will of course come off as elitist in some way but you really just have to make more of an effort to group up with people in the game

both games are dookie walking simulators with 30 seconds of combat sprinkled in except in squad you get to die to a turkish soldier instead of a soviet or american one

How else can you set anything up? You need space to let things breath.. that's the beauty of the game.

Oh no I totally get that I love the more tactical parts of squad and arma but was disappointed when I played both squad and reforger to see it’s just a lot of go to point a… go to point b…. get domed by guy with 4K monitor and 10k draw distance… get lasered through foliage…. There is no tactical play or counter play unless you are in a vehicle or a commander imo. I look forwards to ‘83 as I greatly enjoyed the tactical and CQC gameplay of Rising Storm 1&2 and Red Orchestra.

1000+ hours in squad here
yea just switch to this game and play it for a while, you wont regret it but there is a learning curv

Squad does some things better for example there mapping system and squad system is better

but as far as realism ARMA King

Squad still good, love it but honestly haven't been back since i started playing ARMA Reforger

ill say though "only the most Elite experienced Squad player can graduate to play ARMA Reforger you gotta have the patient for it"

[OneM4nArmy]

Former squad player with 3000+ hrs. Reforger > Squad hands down, there are things reforger can improve by taking from squad like maps and the squad system, but besides that it is better and way more fun.

I miss Red Orchestra 1, the king of these type of games. 83' is going to blow all these games away as well

I thought that 83' was canned.
