i cant wait for some impressions.. thinking about upgrading my package to join in the testing but im holding off until i hear some good things.
As someone who is a fan of the ArmA series, Project Reality etc I can easily say that this game is brilliant. Feels more like a beta than an alpha right now. Played around 8 hours straight since the servers went live.
You can skim through this VOD for some highlights of my session: http://www.twitch.tv/cyborgmatt/v/17778556
Nothing like it out there?
Wtf is ARMA then?
I cannot see anywhere that somebody said this, but I must be blind.
Somebody will have to distill the differences down for me. If I'm a heavy ARMA II, and III player why should I get this?
Because you obviously like modern military FPS with a realistic flair ? it's not like ArmA has any competition right now.
I mean it's a modern military semi-realistic FPS that puts a lot of emphasis on teamwork, they are very similar. Squad and PR are much more streamlined and controls like modern FPS though.
Really you should try PR:BF2 (it's free) to get a feel for what Squad will eventually become.
They have posted the October progress update, looks like they'll be moving the game to Steam this month.
Some new work on the Russians:
and a new faction, Militia:
They are doing ukranian war stuff?
So anyone here play this game? Bought it last week and it is tremendous.
I really want to pick it up. Where would you place it in terms of accessibility between ARMA and Battlefield?
WW2 mod announced, seems like they've done a fair bit of work on it already!

Latest progress update is out, shows off the new animation system (vaulting, bipods etc.), Stryker, SPG-9, new map and more.
Just bought this in the sale and getting absolutely terrible performance. Fps at 1440 with a Titan X (Pascal) is in the low 40's high 30's no matter what video settings I use. That isn't smooth either, it's choppy as hell, even on a GSync monitor. Unplayable.
What's your CPU? 30FPS in this game is pretty normal for most people.

Whoa something is defiantly wrong there. I am playing this game with great performance on a system much weaker (750ti). I am playing at 1080 but that Titan should chew up that difference like nothing. I would go on the official Squad forum and see if you can get some help tuning your setup. Should look beautiful and run like butter (will still load like shit though unless you have an SSD... but that is another issue)
It was installed onto an SSD. I chew through every other game, even at 4K, this game just chugged like crazy at much lower resolutions no matter what I did. Shame because I really liked what I played.
I refunded it.
Noooo! It breaks my heart to read that cuz the game is SO DAMNED GOOD! But I can understand how it might have been frustrating. Hope you give it another try when it comes out of Early Access and is (i hope) more polished/optimized.
I bought this game off steam after watching OperatorDrewski play it. Gun sounds are dead on. Trying to get a buddy to buy it as well.
