    To answer the most common comment: Yes, obviously find the server with the lowest ping. What I meant by saying "a server with 100-150 ping" is that in Squad, unlike other games, you don't need to have 30 ping to have fun or even be competitive.
    As low as possible is ideal.
    Under 100 is great.
    Under 150 is enjoyable.
    Under 200 is playable.
    I would choose a 150 ping server with a community I like over one I didn't like but got 50 ping.

    I joined my first game and there were a bunch of squads with 1 person in it, and a couple with 8/9. I kept getting kicked from everysquad i joined, so i made my own so i didn't get kicked for not being in a squad. Within 30 seconds it's a full squad and me being 45 seconds into the game was a squad leader. Now I was a Squad Leader in real life, i know how it works, but here i am on the side of a cliff, not knowing anything about the game just seeing a bunch of people i don't know if they are friendly or not trying to figure the game out. I have no idea what the objectives were or where anything was. Commander not saying anything except complaining about team killing. So anyway. I had no idea what was going on, pretty similar to real life.

      I was a (not sure if it translated correct) combat medic back in 09 in Helmand, so it felt natural to mech on the guys going down, instead of leading the squad 🤷🏼‍♂️🤭
      I'm not build for leading. Only for chaking charge when people are going down.
      But it was still fun, and I learned a few thing 🤷🏼‍♂️

      @CrizzyEyes Před 3 lety +16

      Getting shot by people you can't see is basically a fact of this game, but keep in mind this game isn't about kills unless you can wipe out a whole squad and ensure nobody can get revived. You can reduce being blindsided by trying to always keep in mind which direction the enemy would be coming from based on the locations of the roads and their main base or nearby FOBs. Always remember to look towards the ridges and horizons when outdoors, and doors and corners indoors. It will happen regardless though, there will be times when you're expecting the enemy to come from one way or even shooting at them and another squad or even just a lone guy sneaks up on you and shoots a bunch of your squadmates. The good news is that the lone wolves never really make a difference because of the revival mechanic. It's one of the most team oriented games I've ever played. Eventually it starts to click and you kill a T-72, BMP and a helicopter in the same match as heavy anti-tank, or get 50+ kills in one match as a machinegunner because you defended a point from two squads at the same time

    I bought the game around November 2018 on a good sale. I only played around 4-5 hours or so and then stopped playing since I had other priorities at the time. I remember the SL telling me and some dude to go covert behind a tank under a bridge and blowing it up. I provided the guy ammo for his stuff and I felt really proud for helping. We then snuck up behind enemy lines, crawled prone for like 10 minutes and did some pretty sick parkour to get on top of a shack. We observed for a while as the remaining squad proceeded to ambush from the opposite direction and take out the FOB. Epic stuff, wish I could remember the guy's name. I slowly stopped playing games for a while and kind of forgot Squad, as my Tarkov addiction started. I then got reminded about it since many people I follow started doing streams for the game's launch! I'm thrilled to give the game another shot!

    Great video, thank you. I have about 10 hours and 4 kills total, so you got me on the "walk around for an hour not seeing anyone and getting shot a lot." I hardly ever see an enemy, and when I do it takes that split second to IDFoF, and I'm dead. I actually got picked up by my squad leader 6 times in one fight in one room that we were hanging onto waiting for reinforcements, I got one kill the entire game, but knocked 15 times! Very frustrating!!

    One of my favorite games was when I was pretty new.
    I took SL because we had no other squads but I had just played enough to know how it works.
    Everyone who joined my squad was green as grass.
    We all took our time and ended up defending against a massive assault from the forest.
    We all lined up on a knoll and I was using my binos and compass co-ordinates to direct my squads fire.
    "infantry at 300, aim higher, good hits, Armour 340 (AT missile fires), good hit vehicle down".
    We effectively won our team the game and all my guys were super psyched and it was a nice confidence booster.

    For people who don't have time to watch the full video and just want to know the basics do and don'ts:
    1. Use your microphone and communicate with you squad and nearby teammates.
    2. Don't create a squad if you don't intend to lead it.
    3. Listen to your squad lead and in some cases fireteam leaders.
    4. Don't pick important roles if you don't know how to use them, such as HAT. (This doesn't mean don't ever choose a role you want to learn)
    5. When using your mic don't flood the squad radio with unnecessary info and or hot mic. Keep those things to local voip.
    If I missed anything or you want to ask me about a certain thing in squad feel free to post a comment below :)

    Glad it finally has a proper tutorial. I last played a few years ago, back when the BMP was the most heavy hitting vehicle in the game. Most of the game was fairly straight forward... except the squad lead role. At the range, none of the SL functions could be used or accessed. So the only way to learn how to use them was in-game. That sucked, big time.
    But I had a blast just being a rifleman and trying to be helpful. I was always that guy who would do the logi runs when needed, while the rest of the team was getting into fire fights. Also had fun as a medic, everyone LOVES a good medic. Nothing worse than going down, and the map shows your squad’s medic is being a lone wolf on the other side of the map 🤦‍♂️

  • @ChillLee24
    @ChillLee24 Před 3 lety

    Can testify, bought the game on Sunday and I've chosen medic for most games, I like steep learning curves and I told my squad I was new but when things got heavy and I was trying to field bandage and use my med kit and throwing stupid smokes.. Oh I'm so glad I bought this game. Had some fun role play moments and team building/meeting random people. Got to say this community is amazing, everyone so helpful.

  • @acidpoptart4270
    @acidpoptart4270 Před 2 lety +2

    Fun fact most people do not know, if you are a gunner in a MRAP or a vehicle with has mounted MG with cover, looking all the way up makes your guy duck and cover your head. I am fairly sure same works with bipods on guns like MG and marksman. Looking up or left or right will move your character/make them duck so up down pop shots are useful

  • @bw2903
    @bw2903 Před 3 lety +5

    I would recommend flicking to the map as frequently as possible.
    That way at any given moment - you have complete situational awareness of your squad, where they're looking, enemy markers and more importantly - where the gaps are in your team's line.

    This is a game that will bypass most gamers radar cause of its difficulty but when you truly learn how to play it, its the best shooter available right now. I had 40+ hours of just jumping into games, not understanding where to go, or following someones order into death and it was just not good. But when i stepped back a moment to try and try to learn the different modes and how to behave in a squad it got really really fun. The combat sitautions are so damn intense and when you pull off taking over a flag after intense battles its really a good feeling. That said, i really hope Squad devs put a more advanced tutorial into the game cause its a really confusing game. Just handling the map itself and understanding all the circles, icons can be really confusing.

    7:48 This tip is SUPER IMPORTANT. Most of my Squad games as a noob have been bad, and most of those games start out with me getting impatient waiting and just making my own Squad without sufficient experience. Next time I play this game I will make sure to wait for squads to open up.
    Thanks for the video!

  • @sanirius
    @sanirius Před 3 lety +17

    I think an important note for new players is to forget what you know about "other" FPS games. Squad is definitely not like BF or CoD, and the meta is different from even Hell Let Loose for example. To avoid frustration or finding it "boring" you need to understand that it's not about the run and gun and not even about the kills, but quite literally about your squad, communication and working together tightly.
    Every game I play on Squad in a communicating, well organized squad is amazing regardless of kills or even action sequences. This might seem counterintuitive to new players, but it's just the way it is. Trust me. There's a certain feeling that this game can give you, no other game can. (maybe old Project Reality as well)
    You can spend an hour walking around, digging HABs and taking a few pot shots at enemies too far away to kill, and then get shot from a bush somewhere, and STILL love that experience. How does that work? Don't know. But just let go of your preconceived notions of FPS games, and let it happen.

    • @KevinBYee
      @KevinBYee Před 3 lety +1

      Just starting out in the full release, I played early access a while back but I'm a complete noob. Just did about 5 rounds and I 100% agree with you. I had one round where I got 4 kills and made a nice stand, but it was useless in the grand scheme of things. The most fun I had was a different round where our squad leader organized us into building a huge defensive position, which trucks driving back and forth reinforcing. We had mortars, MG nests, a TOW on a roof, and an entire road block of sandbags. We just took pot shots at enemies far away but it was awesome and we held an effective defense for our team to stage out of.

    • @MandyWilson235
