Squad_JO

V1.3.7

Squad_JO is a Gameplay modification of Squad, based on the classic game Joint Operations from 2004 - "western democratic" coalition forces versus "rebellious anti-western" allies.
It retains Squads' organisation & communications but removes much of the structured role-playing elements required by players, allowing for a more accessible playing style that highlights 'playing the objective'. With headshots and knife attacks killing outright and no rally points, this makes for a more deadly game that puts a greater value of life on the player and encourages smarter play, with plenty of room for tactical styles that don't rely on the 'FOB-crafting' meta.
The Mod includes Multi-faction teams, modified Gamemodes for AAS & TKOTH and numerous new assets. It also includes numerous gameplay layers for a bunch of Squad-vanilla maps as well as four classic Joint Operations maps; Black Rock Beach, Dormant Volcano Isle, Twin Islands & Kutu Arms Market.

Highlights:
- Tickets now only account for total captured points (AAS) or accrued time (TKOTH).
- Capture zones have perimeter circles, animated flags and spawnpoints driven by team ownership and contested state. They also have Friendly vs Enemy player counts (HUD) and player Distance-To-Cap readouts on contestable Caps (Map).
- Armouries(ammocrates) are combined 'Global usage' (usable by both teams) and have a 30 second cool-down timer between successful uses.
- Team & Neutral vehicles have no requirement for Claiming or Role.
- Vehicles have modified radial menus and faster enter/exit/change-seat time.
- Vehicle spawners can be located on/near capture points.
- Modified role 'loadouts' and the way roles are sorted in the deployment & armoury menus.
- Removal of Logistic, Deployable & Building systems and the Commander role.
- Soldiers have been modified to remove Stamina penalties and stop physical bleeding and thus bandaging; Medic now one-click revives and heals more quickly, but cannot self heal.
- Sprinting lock has been removed. Select 'Toggle' in your user settings "Sprint Mode" to enable continuous sprinting without needing to hold the button down.
- Focus 'zoom' has been disabled and ADS fov has been changed to compensate on all carried weapons; Focus now works for 2 seconds.
- ADS Zoom Breath Hold (steady) and Sprinting will not work when in water above the waist.
- Teams include: Team1 (USA, BAF, CAF & ADF) vs Team2 (INS, IMF & MEA), which will be expanded on in the future.
- Cooked for Windows and Linux.
