Is squad still worth buying?

I've been on PC for just 3 years and I've fallen in love with tactical shooters. I have arma reforger, ready or not and many others.

If you've built a collection ya might as well add this one. It gets updated well enough, and it's still got plenty of players. You'll usually deal with public lobbies and randoms though.

In my opinion no. The game had a major overhaul about 6 months ago, Infantry Combat Overhaul. The excuses why it was done is a scattershot of buss words. What it did is make any movement make the gun shake and scopes wobble all over. Some like it, many do not. It caused reviews to turn to mixed for awhile. I will never buy anything from OWI again because of this change so long after the game was released. It's bait and switch.

Some like it, some do not, many don't care that much i guess.

At least player numbers are higher than ever before: https://steamcharts.com/app/393380

kinda speaks for itself..., and no, not half of those are playing mods, modded servers make up between 3 and 7 % of the players.

Most of us here are from the beginning and are suffering from sunk cost fallacy issues at this point so our opinions aren't really valid. Squad still has a few unique attributes compared to everything else out there so you may get some gameplay value from it however its really way past its expiration date at this point especially in the game engine dept.

They over tuned the weapon handling and its absurdly bad. The player seems as if they aren't shouldering the gun at all which screws the game for any one who wants to attack instead of camp in a bush all day.

Give it a try but refund it within the 2 hour refund window if you don't like it. The devs literally told some one to go play some other game when they criticized ICO. Thats rude.

When people say the player numbers are up they aren't mentioning that it's allot of chinese players which are irrelevant. I don't mind them. I've met allot of competent ones but people with high pings should stick to their own regions servers for healthier gameplay.

Lately I've noticed it's not as jam packed for the sub 100 ping servers (north america). Even some of those popular servers that are usually full 24/7 have been empty recently.

I could just be imagining the declining player count. We shall see.

I hope they retune the noodle arms. Eventually you have to attack but the game makes your arms move around so much its really bad game design. It favors camping too much and attacking is punished. Laser beam aim was bad but parkinsons disease is bad too.

OWI needs to find a sweet spot where your arms dont sway outside a certain zone so you can't laser beam people 50 meters away but ADS and moving is still viable for when its time to attack.


The Mosin is however mostly unaffected which is all that matters to me.

MOSIN FOREVER!

Dont listen to Aegmar games with high number of players doesnt tell if game is ok or not.

Personally i would buy it, but remember 2hr refund policy and if you stay play on mods - they are much better than vanilla servers (more factions, guns, and better weapon handling)

Sooo... if game has bigger numbers it means good game?

This is flawed and easy to debunk argument (If any) but you keep repeating same over and over like a parrot without any substance .

"Number higher than ever - speak for itself"

No it doesn't.

im not making any argument, just saying the numbers are bigger than ever, them being at record heights. Which is a clearly observable fact that is not really indicative for a dying game, is all. I know you hate the fact and would rather see player numbers dwindle, but facts are facts.

Just make some complicated argument why the numbers are meaningless and the game is really bad, its all bots, everyone is just playing mods or in fact hating the game while playing it. Its always entertaining.

btw. did i mention the player numbers are at a record height ? just sayin....
