I've wanted to find a game that offered realism for so long and I had heard of Squad but didn't look into it until now. Thank you so much for the guide, it was very helpful, and you didn't sound boring unlike the other guides I looked at. Much appreciated.
Squad is pretty realistic honestly, and far more than Tarkov. Speaking as a former soldier. What's plaguing the realism of Tarkov are bad maps (very man-made instead of based on real nature), and a game engine that does not really allow for long-range combat. The close quarter in Tarkov is par none, however, and it's definitively more hardcore than most other games. The most realistic IMHO is still Arma, though, but it's also more buggy and experimental, while Squad offers a nice middle ground.
@@Popmandoop the fact that you were paying attention to the viewers' attention span and explaining the guide in a direct and simple manner. And what was included in the video was literally what beginners like me needed to know. Keep up the great videos man, i hope this helps.
thank you for the video. known about squad for awhile now but wanted to try more realistic games before and that was a major mistake. bought the game today and im ready to get in and play. seems fun and its actually multiplayer unlike stalker
Im still very new, on my first few hours i joined a server,played as a medic and revived like 5 players, then built an FOB alone and i was called a legend, LOVE THIS GAME XD..
I reinstalled Squad and am gonna try it again after a couple years. First time I tried I got put in squads with people who thought they were in the actual military and were screaming/yelling/kicking anyone who didn't immediately follow orders. Got old and I uninstalled after a couple hours.
Both are pretty different but Arma is a lot more complex than Squad is so I'd personally go with squad. I also made a video talking about my favorite tactical shooters awhile ago. There are some simpler ones there if you wanna check it out.
@@Popmandoop u already passed 500, lets push this number up! Theres cant be enough content creators for these kind of games, i hope one day the playerbase will reach higher levels like cod or sth
@@magenbroti Thanks! Working on some new videos right now! I totally agree, these games need more of a spotlight, everyone would love them. Theres just too many people who don't know they exist!
@@Popmandoop thats neat! Your def right, but for most people it seems more complex and slow paced, which it is not when u dive in and experience it first hand. Alot more ppl would play milsim or semi milsim if they would just give it a try :) if anyone is hesitating and is reading this: TRY IT, U WONT REGRET 😁
HABs are the spawns you build for the hole team, the one that is built like a bunker. It is not "the bunkers that you build" (Edit: because there is two kinds of bunkers. One is called "indirect fire bunker". The HAB one is actually the "whole-team-spawn") Thx for the video
I really wanna buy this game… just I’m hesitant as I’m only 15 and worried that if I join a server I’ll get brainfucked by some >20 year old dude that just doesn’t like children. I’m not a squeaker just my age has been used as an insult before and I can’t beat players with skill as you said in the video… too slow paced for it. Game looks super fun tho and I have a job so buying it isn’t a crazy problem :) Also great content man I subbed👍
Honestly, I started playing when I was about 17, and as you maybe be able to hear my voice cracks a ton still. I could totally pass as 15 if I felt like it haha. For the most part I don't think other players will be an issue, at least not seriously. There might be some off-hand teasing, but generally they don't care as long as you aren't a jerk . So you should be good!
I do have a twitch account but I haven't used it in forever. I'm planning on streaming more in December though! I think I'll just do it on UA-cam though, so if you want to catch those, post notifications would probably be your best bet! Thanks for the support, I super appreciate it!
Dude, great video! And hello! I subbed. I'm definitely going to do the tutorial now 🤣. I downloaded it and did exactly what you said I shouldn't. So here goes actually trying to learn!
i feel attacked 😂 im the guy who doesnt play the tutorial and is in my first match asking people how to get in a vehicle or in the middle of a fire fight and in the controls menu trying to figure out how to change the zeroing on my gun lmfao
3:15 .. That's .. Well, being honest, kinda what I was hoping. Looked for a balance between ARMA and CS - found Insurgency which (on realism/ hardcore servers with focus on tactics) is actually pretty cool. However, think I want to try out something even more tactical, but I can't figure out if I should go with the hard-to-learn-but-when-you-have-seems-amazing-ARMA, or Squad which seems more easygoing at first, but without as many possibilities .. I mean, I like mil-sim now, but what if I wake up tomorrow wanting to play StaR waRz-siM? :( .. Joking. And I'm a dad, so it's okay to make bad jokes. Can Squad be played in vs. AI mode? Like PVE? After 15+ years of playing online FPS shooters (mostly competitive CS), I've grown fond of PVE as ppl joining those servers are most often there for the same reasons as I, no or very little toxicity, to learn the game and very often to play tactical.
Pretty much. When a radio is placed a FOB is created, but an SL can't do it alone. They need a Logi nearby and another team member aswell. Just make sure to remember that the FOB is the circled aread around that radio. To spawn there HAB's need to be placed within that circled aread (the FOB).
Hmmmm. Talking is pretty important, but I think you could get away without out one. In any case you should give it a try once your more comfortable and see how other players respond. Hopefully well, I know I wouldn't care, but some players can be real jerks.
IMO Squad isn't fun and it's just a Arma 3 ripoff down to the keybinds. The game only has bigger servers and better graphics but overall worse everything else.

Dude thank you for the list of stuff we might hear people say.... Literally fills like 90% of my problems
Glad it helped! That was easily the hardest part for me when I started so I figured it would help some folks out!

definitely underrated video
wish more people saw it
you've got a future, man!
Awesome I'm glad you like it and think the channel has potential! I certainly hope it does at least haha
bought the game today, getting ready to play it lmao
So underrated channel!
Thanks! I think I still have quite a lot to improve, but I'm glad the channel is already pretty good!
@@Popmandoop Keep up the good work! ❤️
Thank you this really helped
Good to hear it! I hope you enjoy the Mod!
Thank you so much, bought this game when it first came out, now I'm getting into it
Great video. I've had Squad for years but just played it on and off and never was able to get into it but hoping to learn soon.
i havent played this in a while so i forgot most lol looking at tutorials again. Great video!
Thanks! I hope it was able to help! If you have any more question feel free to drop by the discord and ask me questions!
@@Popmandoop it went really well actually lol came in a squad with some drunk guys and laughed my ass off.
@@LegendaryyOzzz Haha that's awesome! Squad definitely has the funniest community out of every fps I've ever played.
Good to know, I’m planning on buying it so this helped
I'm glad it helped! Squad is a great game. I never thought I'd have so much fun walking for 5 minutes just to get instantly blow to pieces Lol.
@@Popmandoop 😂
It's on sale right now, Steam.
@@drowzee_6 woah, didn’t know that, will check it out
Don’t think I didn’t notice the MW2 radio chatter in the background of the intro 😂. Great video!
Trying to get into this game, hard to find helpful players in game lol. Great video! Anyone else looking to help a newb?

Helped me alot! Alot more easier to learn from guides that are like this!
That awesome to hear! What made it easier to understand if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to be sure I implement those aspects into future guides!

I love your channel man
That's awesome! I'm glad you like it!
Thanks for this vid bro…. Just got it and your tips are insanely helpful …. Great walkthrough
You have presence. I think a Picture in Picture kind o recording will be even better.
Looking to try it soon! My camera just doesn't like recording too long so I'm trying to get a better one!
Am buying this soon i love game like this
thank you for the video. known about squad for awhile now but wanted to try more realistic games before and that was a major mistake. bought the game today and im ready to get in and play. seems fun and its actually multiplayer unlike stalker
I’m considering buying this game today as well, I’ve never played something like this before
@@owenhunter9916 amazing game my friend. worth it. takes 20-30 minutes to figure out the ropes then just hop in and learn.
Ayyyy let's gooo, a new videeoooo.:3
Woot woot! We're gonna try some gameplay videos soon! How does that sound?
Just tried to watch some nerd explain the menus for a half hour thanks for a short quality video
Im still very new, on my first few hours i joined a server,played as a medic and revived like 5 players, then built an FOB alone and i was called a legend, LOVE THIS GAME XD..
That's awesome! Definitely better than my first time haha. Glad youre liking it!
This was awesome. Even after watching hours of tutorials this was all I needed, thanks.
I appreciate your concise explanation! I am still a super noob, but this helped me sooo much! Thank you!!😁
For sure! Glad I was able to help.
great guide
Great Video young Stunna
Nice video 👍
Thanks!
My first game I got a mess of a squad it was pure chaos and I loved it
thanks for this video
I reinstalled Squad and am gonna try it again after a couple years. First time I tried I got put in squads with people who thought they were in the actual military and were screaming/yelling/kicking anyone who didn't immediately follow orders. Got old and I uninstalled after a couple hours.
that called culture. thats this games culture. go play arma if you want unorganized bullshit
Nah stay away from the douche hardcore milsim wannabe nerds 😂 just have fun!
im downloading rn hope its fun!
Just bought the game. Thanks for the guidance. I’ll like and follow
I'm glad you liked the video! I hope you like the game aswell!
great video!
Thank you!
huge help
Good editing and quality content. I like your channel, keep it up! You deserve more subs.
Hey thanks! I'm glad you like the channel. I won't be stopping anytime soon!
Never played a milsim but played FPS like COD, Overwatch...Which should I start with? ...Arma or Squad?
Both are pretty different but Arma is a lot more complex than Squad is so I'd personally go with squad. I also made a video talking about my favorite tactical shooters awhile ago. There are some simpler ones there if you wanna check it out.
Tarkov
Thanks.. 490th sub.
Hey! Thanks for the sub! Almost to 500 which is absolutely crazy!

U will blow up soon bro
The format of this video is so refreshing, I hate that most youtubers have a 3+ minute intro to get to the point of the video
That's good to hear! I've been trying to keep the into segments as short as possible for that exact reason!
Nice video bro
Thank you!
As a new squad player, this helped
thanks man if you could do a common strategies video maybe
This was lit!!
Glad you liked it!
i will never die in my life!

Let's play squad man!!! Ever feel like playing with active duty service members?
Not at the moment but I'd be down in the future!
Dude, great video! And hello! I subbed. I'm definitely going to do the tutorial now 🤣. I downloaded it and did exactly what you said I shouldn't. So here goes actually trying to learn!
Haha let me know how that goes in the Discord!
Where is the music, in the twenty first seconds, from?

You know i hear the community is very understanding and nice to each other in squad so i wouldn't be worried about that
Is a FOB just the radio the SL can deploy?
Pretty much. When a radio is placed a FOB is created, but an SL can't do it alone. They need a Logi nearby and another team member aswell. Just make sure to remember that the FOB is the circled aread around that radio. To spawn there HAB's need to be placed within that circled aread (the FOB).
Is this game similar to he’ll let loose?
how do you tell whos an enemy or friendly easier xD
only thing holding me back from this game is its hefty price tag..
Yah, Squad isn't cheap. Keep your eye out for sales and free weekends! OWI does them pretty regularly.
Is it like necessary to talk because I’m 13 and feel like I’ll be made fun of if I talk in game
Hmmmm. Talking is pretty important, but I think you could get away without out one. In any case you should give it a try once your more comfortable and see how other players respond. Hopefully well, I know I wouldn't care, but some players can be real jerks.
@@Popmandoop thank you for the advice , coming from arma 3 if you sound a bit young then everyone literally bullies you :,)
What is the age limmite?
Just google
eastern eu servers are a nightmare. smb asked me where i was from i said romania he team killed me
Can I play offline?
Unfortunately no. There is a shooting range and tutorials but no real missions that games like Arma would have. Hope that helps!

How the f cheeks do you destroy a HAB
Right click with the shovels and have patience haha. Easier with some teammates but still annoying.
@@Popmandoop thankyou 😂
Man, ARMA 3 looks a lot better
Terrible game.
