Old Squad Was Better

sad to say but i just dont have fun playing squad anymore

Stop playing then. Good riddance. Squad has never been better...

What was better? Was it the team play? The lack of vehicles? I came in back during v.10 I believe and I always noticed that more people seemed to have a common mindset in how they played the game. Everyone knew to stick with the squad lead, call out targets, just overall help the team more. Maybe I'm just looking back with rose tinted glasses.

how can you say that if you werent around in the early days of squad how would you know if its never been better or not?

[RAMBO]

Gotta say, feels better to play now, weren't always guaranteed a good team back then, just as you aren't nowadays, but when you do, current squad is a better time.

I agree, I constantly mention how the community before like V13ish era was better. Id even go on to say V9 and V10 was the best time (i do not have experiences pre V9)

V10 was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ performance period ever.

It's not like that SQUAD is worse right now. It's just much more popular and there is a lot of people who doesn't want to play together. In reality of this game, such approach is not appropriate.
I hope there will be the same as with Project Reality. Server admins will pay attention on people's behavior, strict rules and so on.

v9 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucked, Russians were OP, you couldn't vault, the rush mechanic was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken. v10 sucked because it was the first patch with the new movement system and it was janky as hell, and then there was that major major bug that let people spawn on HAB when they weren't supposed to which turned every game on Basrah into reenactments of Pavlov's house.

v11 & v12 were great. Tanks were hype. British were hype.

v13 introduced the buddy rally and at that point everything went to ♥♥♥♥. B17 is good, but buddy rally is hamstringing this game like nothing else. Devs need to kill it and 90% of the problems with pacing would be immediately solved. Ticket bleed is close to perfect now. Performance is not amazing, but hopefully after release devs will shift gears to focus on performance instead of features. The dead dead compromise was not to my taste honestly, but the issue seems to be less salient now.

i was always unsure about buddy rally until today, but after two rounds that have been so fast paced you basically never had time to actually build a hab or wait for a logi run, suddenly 2 squads attack from a new direction - i concur, buddy rally should be scratched.

I would really like to see them return to the old system for a week or so. Just for a test. Just roll it out to public servers rather than putting it on their test branch. If people like it just keep it.

dude new squad is the best

[JordyyFPS]

I miss the early days of Squad, the gunsounds, the choppy movement, the harder recoil, the infrantry gameplay. ♥♥♥♥ even the vaulting can be a pain in the arse since mid vault you might aswell put up a sign: "FREE-KILL".

I still enjoy the game, but enjoyed it way more when it was fresh.

Last time I played squad (maybe half a year ago) It had changed into a fast paced disorganized mess mostly due to the new spawn feature and influx of new players. If you want a fast paced realistic shooter there is plenty of other polished games already available so that is why I left Squad.
It is not a bad thing with the influx of new players of course but the game still haven't got a good tutorial play ground that can easy in new players and because of the larger player base there is far between good squad leaders.

Squad V8 and V9 was the sweet spot of this game, now its a downgraded washed out looking game.

Exclude the gunplay mechanics. I felt v8-9 , because of limited vehicular assets, there was more ground engagements. Also coupled with easy fobs..overall more action packed. Now with so many vehicles at play, sometime you felt that only half of the entire team is on foot working the objective. Which half of those clueless on objective due to the increase complexity.

It was much easier for a newbie sl to mix into the crowd with multiple spawn options. Now a noob or a trash sl easily gets spotted out when he decides to bring a full squad to no where. Set up super fobs and tows facing yr own main etc..
