Sadly there is issues with base UE physics that make it hard to bring in full cas support like jets. That was the reason helicopters were skipping around so much was due to the server trying to catch up to the client.

Battlefield 3 on the other hand looks amazing, runs on a toaster and allows you to blow nearly everything up. A "Project Reality" BF3 would make SQUAD utterly obsolete.

Mainly due to the fact as just a squad member, you have very little impact on winning or losing... but once you SL, you can easily single handedly win games for your team. It takes a certain personality type to effectively SL though. Make decisions, enforce your decisions, use your mic often, be friendly and easy going, but also be ruthless with the kick button for people refusing to work as a team. Oh, and don't be a dictator. Ask for reccomendations, ask what they think, take their advice sometimes. (Most SL's get this so wrong.)

Once i played PR for first time, i was 15-16 y.o at that time. Mine english was bad and i didn't had a mic but i remember i was playing on one server all the time. There was a one guy he was like 30-40 y.o and he took me with him so we were anti air. I remember we were also laser designating targets for CAS. There were 3 of us, That dude who was a leader of squad and another guy that was always in vehicle i remember it was Tunguska or Shilka not sure and there was me just spotting targets. I remember that i used to write in squad chat were are the targets and leader tells that to the 3rd guy and he would obliterate enemy soldiers. I also did laser for CAS and when first bomb fell to that place i felt like i have some use in this game. I was noob back then, neither im better now since i stopped playing it because my pc died but yeah, PR is such a masterpiece and its sad to see that there are not much servers anymore like back then. Squad looks good but in my opinion it doesen't have a soul like PR had, PR players are mostly some 30+ yo guys who probably served in afghan or somewhere else once random guy game me a advice for a life so i won't forget that experience. I hope you PR players are doing good and I hope we'll see each other again somewhere on the battlefield.

One thing Squad ought to change are the damage values for vehicles. In PR I remember taking out lightly armored vehicles & trucks with a single RPG to the engine. In Squad, a logi truck can survive an RPG... the vehicles are just way too spongey

Before even finishing the video, after playing Hell Let Loose today for 8 hours (free weekend) and also spending 12 hours in Squad in the past, but also having more than 200+ hours on PUBG and DayZ, I have to say my opinion that in games like these, the trend of having maximum possible graphics on a high tier end PC is ruining it for me - sure, my budget PC could have been a high-end machine also if I have had invested more, but comparing all these games together, I cannot help but feel like that visual quality is most needed distance-wise and also anti-aliasing wise - AKA the visual concrete foundation of such games is that I should be able to see what everyone else is seeing even on a potato PC - fuck nice effects and such, models, shadows, rendering all that should have a foundation in a performance low-budget range, like the engine itself imho in each of these games does not needs some fancy stuff, what I have found to be the MOST CRITICAL aspect of such games is imho sound design, where all of the sounds should be pitch-perfect in communication to each individual player. To summarize: for visual I do not need extra quality textures, I need fucking A-tier visibility of objects that is not hindered by performance, same goes for audio, which imho should be universal and the most fine-tuned aspect of any tactical shooter.

Offworld should combine all their games into one like how PR has modern and WW2 in one game. OWI could have us voting for the next round to be Beyond the Wire, Squad '44, Squad, or Starship Troopers. btw re CAS: in the v8 release notes they say about ATGM's "our main goal is to move these weapons away from being effective anti-aircraft weapons to open the door for more dedicated anti-air weapons in the future". I hope this means they're trying to get the attack helicopter back into the game.

Idea is cool, but not doable. Sure, it's all Unreal, but it wasn't developed together. There's no interchangability of assets. a Tree in Squad is a different tree than in Post Scriptum (now Squad 44). There's separate mechanics, separate damage models, hell- even separate UI layouts. It wouldn't just mean combining the games- it would mean mostly rewriting them all into the same standard. Doable, but heaaaavily time consuming and not worth the effort. It would essentially be an entirely different game, Squad 2 if you will 2. Disk space bloat. the level of detail that today's graphics require is simply incomparable. Even when merged and generally interchangable? Having period apropriate stuff for both world wars and modern setting would probably mean something in the 100+ GB realm. Would only make sense for a Squad successor. Something built from the ground up with that intent.

You can get the "PR friends" experience in Squad too. You're comparing the experience of a seasoned player with a single server as it's home in a game with a playerbase of 200 on a good day to hopping on a random servers as a new player with less than a 1000 hours in a game with a daily pop of 15000. Sure, the ICO took a toll on the community, many experienced and skilled players left leaving an abysmal void of incompetence from the average player but there are still familiar faces around if you stick to one community you like.

I dont know what bluedrake is talking about. PR has more active players in it by source in their website stats.

We try to join the opposite team to stop it from being so one sided and they will still rock us.

I remember the old days with PR. Back when you could reliably join decent infantry squads every round. I want to go back to the 2000s. the 2020 are not good for me. take me back.

Honestly I only stopped playing PR over Squad recently, within the last 5 months, because I live in the US and there are no US servers anymore, no idea what happened to hog, but only populated servers I see are a brazil one and a EU one with over 200 ping for me :(

I feel like project reality wins in variety and diversity in maps and factions, you can be in iraq, vietnam, chechnya, china etc etc... Whilst in squad its very limited compared to PR, I find that both games have issues in terms of graphics (PR low graphics, Squad poor optimization) and gunplay (PR HitReg terrible and sights do not align with hits, Squad noodle arms). But I do think Squad could become an improved PR if they focused more on optimization and bug fixes first, then started adding stuff.

7:42 accident wtf? i dont get why they removed it

It was to test the waters with the playerbase. Leaving it in made no sense for balance as it was only for the marines faction and it had no equivalent in any other faction.

I have to argue one point! I typically play squad on the same server (TPF2) and it feels like a pretty tight knit group, you can jump on at any time and it seems like about half the players are regulars that are always in the game, kind of like you explained with PR. Squad has that too, server dependent!

4:10 MOM GET THE CAMERA. I'M ON TV!!!

Ok, but if I have ArmA, do I even need either of those? PR or Squad?

As a long time fan of Project Reality, it's undeniable how immersive and intense Squad gunplay is. I have never played a game, not even ArmA, that portrays shooting a firearm being so violent and intense (like you can almost feel the recoil and vibration due to the visual effects and low frequency audio). But it feels like it's missing something, something that PR has. I prettt much only play Squad now for the SquadOps One-Life events, outside of that, I never had quality matches with awesome teamwork from both sides in public matches unlike when playing PR.

Cant seem to get into Squad, while it could be fun at times i think the enormous maps make it boring for me.

Loved this coming of age story, good luck in the big city Slorgs!

PR at TG and at its height will forever be my best gaming moments. I've gone to other countries to see PR people as well as welcome internet strangers in my home. PR was and is a wonderful community, but squad is the future and where I will spend that gaming time.

Last time I played squad was before it had tanks, helicopters or basically anything other than basic vehicles and infantry, but even then it felt good for the "hop in and just play" style. Maybe it's not hardcore mil-sim, but very close. Edit: Checked steam. Last played: Jul 13, 2017. WTF? It feels like I played it just a few years ago, what the hell is wrong with time.

hi sir from France ! PR is better of SQ ?!

In other words, "Life is Life and everything change"

Yes! Mainly because of content quantity.

The latest developers notes hint at dedicated AA units, and thereby it could be that they longterm add CAS. The biggest obstacle is that most maps are too small for that. PvP games being free is actually not a good idea as cheaters can just get a new account, where there is a financial hurdle in case of >30 bucks games. Squad was never arcade, but simcade. It went from being on the arcade side of simcade to the sim side of simcade, but is still clearly not sim. ICO has some super unrealistic stuff like blurring screen when being shot at, which are 100% not realistic.

Squad's shooting mechanics were never unrealistic per se(aside from QE spamming), they allowed for skill expression and a greater learning ceiling. The ICO's intent was levelling the field and it both acheived and failed catastrophically at it. As for the CAS a solution could be to extend the current map area leaving it low poly and with the current invisible walls and kill barriers for everyone but the aircraft, like PR does. The airfield for CAS would be outside the map as well.

Since the incredible ico. I can't say one is better now than the other, They are different experiences now to me. Like squad 44 vs hell let loose Helldivers vs starship troopers Zero hour or Ready or not Different. One clearly is more polished and or larger funding. PR is the old, janky, beloved car that if someone new comes along, struggles to get onto the highway, but you can straight up straight street race like a pro with Squad is the shinning newest sexy car where everyone can drive it after a while, but it feels less...special somehow, but feels somehow more..satisfying because you have a nice clean hd view outside.

Squad is just so fluent and fast for my paste, i like the clunkyness of PR. it just adds ups in a heated situation. And for the fact alone that everytime i open pr and hear the theme i get goosebumps. But nonetheless, squad is doing very well and most important it has most support. im just glad both communuties are alive and everyone can play what he wants enough talking, now its time to serve O7

Quote its like your home is the main core in your heart for the game

Having no CAS is why I'm hesitant about getting squad.

its been almost a decade since squad came out and it is still barefoot

The big city small city comparison is so real, only yesterday did I join a squad match and have a dude remember me for getting two tank kills back to back. I have 470 hours in squad and that was a first

470 hours is really not a lot, in Squad terms at least.

All squad needs to take the cake is Cas anti-air and smart anti tank assets like javelins and it would be perfect a fighter and a cast jet for each nation, some sort of anti-air elements like Sam’s or even shoulder, mounted Sams and some helicopters like little birds blackbird cas helis Hinds, etc.

And then add some grownups to play it.

Squads at its best when you play one server with active admins. Thats where the PR experience is.

Just uninstalled Squad yesterday. Yes ICO is good but Squad still delivers a lot of elements that makes team play optional which leads to frustrating gameplay.

fuck me I didn't need to feel nostalgic for PR, that shit was my childhood

Yes...Next question ?

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Absolutely

Squad does not have the necessary scale. In Squad, contact with enemy is made super fast. In PR, it could take good 10 min, with no contact. And Squad feels too fast paced. PR is way more slowed down, more tactical and strategical approach. Thus PR is more enjoyable.

Have you ever played RAAS? Seriously at least 20% of my 4600 hours in squad was spent waiting for caps, it's a massive issue in the game's pace. The slower pace of PR comes from it's playerbase, it's a decision you make, not the fruit of game mechanics. And in squad it's not a good decision and that's aknowledged even by the mostly braindead general playerbase. Aggressive action wins everytime, even in PR.

I think jets are not viable for a game like squad, the map is too small and an airplane would traverse the it in 5 seconds basically. I don't know how they made it work in PR but I don't like the idea that jets are slower than irl because the map is small. Maybe they could make it so that there is an extension of the map that is low res so jets can actually have some space to fly. But this also comes from a DCS player, so i am a lot for realism.

Pr is great and Squad is okay the biggest difference is the content and miniscule features that make the biggest differences like ducking as a turret gunner. Also squad development is the slowest of any game with it being out for a decade and we haven't even gotten fast ropes we were promised from Kickstarter. Also squad is straight spaghetti code thats why we can't have some of the things we want or it takes 5x as long. They even said this themselves that its spaghettis code to the max and that they have to work around it.
