Thanks, that's interesting, I really thought it would offer more tactical gameplay than Insurgency, guess I'll wait then.

It is far more tactical, and very much your sort of game.. :cool:

It just wasn't mine :o ( I'm more of a WW1/2 fan, had enough of modern )

That explains a lot thanks
Why choice by default to have it mid way? seems a strange choice to make.

I can't tell you why it was set to the waist. We were a bit surprised when we saw it!

That was just an update of what is being worked on, not what is going to be in the next patch :)

Is there any plans to implement a dragging or carrying of downed team mates? I normally play as a med as i,m rubbish at everything else and it would be nice to be able to get the wounded into cover before you med them up.

Yup, everyone will be able to drag a downed friendly.

Has anybody got hindsight whether this game will go on sale at some point?
Also how does it compare to Red Orchestra 2 /Insurgency / Arma?
I like insurgency a lot and also rather liked RO2 but couldn't get into Arma mainly due to time needed to learn controls I think.

No plans to go on sale any time soon. We're aiming for Squad to fill the ground in-between the more "casual" shooters and Arma.

I'm a huge RO2/RS and Arma fan but not so much Insurgency, well not any more. RO2/RS is a very single player multi-player game if that makes sense. You're in a squad but when was the last time you heard people talking together in squad voip/chat? It's all in team/public. You can run around on your own after spawning on your SL and it doesn't really hinder you. Not bashing the game, I still play it regularly and love it. Really looking forward to RS2.

In Squad, if you don't communicate with the squad you're in and the squad leaders fail to communicate then 9/10 your team will get ruined. You can't just run about doing your own thing and expect to get anywhere with it.
 
Bad squad leaders also get their squads ruined. Best way to play this game is find some squad leaders that you like, listen to your squad leader and add them on stream. Rinse and repeat.

I played for about 6 hours on Sunday with the same squad leader and we had a few guys in TS and picked up a few good randoms. I basically had back to back epic games.

I've had some good games with randoms but you can really take it to the next level if you are all playing your roles and being sneaky :D
 
Stick to the clan/community servers and you'll soon find regulars you enjoy playing with. You can always jump on the Squad League discord and join the "i-wanna-squad" channel. People jumping on in groups from there quite regularly.
 
Had the first proper session on this since release with a buddy. Once I got my bearings and slowed down a little I started to enjoy it. Role playing over the comms is a must for comedy value :D

Couple of questions though, load times a re pretty brutal, is my machine showing its age or is it known?

When I pull the map up is it possible to use the mouse cursor to mouse over squad mates to find their names?

We're sure the increased load times are to do with the EAC file checking. We're trying out new techniques which seems to improve them. We did some testing last night and people say they saw an improvement. I've got Squad on an SSD so it's pretty fast for me, I'm guessing you're running it off a HDD?

Press Enter so you get the spawn map up and if you mouse over players it will show their name. It's a bit temperamental currently if players are close to each other however.
 
I have Squad on SSD and it loads maps in about 5 seconds. Boot up to main screen is a bit longer but nothing too bad.

Best thing I ever did was save up for a 1TB SSD and I put all my games on it.

+1 SSD all the way, I had the squad Installed on my HDD and the loading times were brutal slow for me, but since reinstalling it on the SSD..loading is so much quicker like above 5 seconds, and I load in well before anyone else has on a map change...
