The music from Battlefield 2 was a nice touch. Loved playing around on that game by myself on single player with bots when I was a kid. Never had anyone to play it on multiplayer with. Hope it gets a remaster tbh.
As much as I've wanted one since BF4, BF2 is too "hardcore" for the modern BF audience and it wouldn't remotely meet EA's sales expectations (10+mil units sold). There's a reason DICE scaled the kits from 7 to 4 (giving kits multiple possible roles), removed faction-locked weapons & gadgets, added CoD4-style health regen, removed asymmetrical weapon & vehicle balance (where, instead of being virtual clones, they'd have trade offs in a rock-paper-scissors manner), added 3D spotting, increased player movement speed, and increased player customization... It makes the franchise more casual friendly by bringing it more in line with mainstream arena shooters like CoD, Halo, (and looking back to older generations) Doom, and Quake. Because arcade arena shooters sell more than their more tactical contemporaries and pretty much always have. The average person has the situational awareness of a snail and only play video games as "something easily digestible to do while relaxing," or otherwise read as "mindless entertainment." In other words, the average person plays video games to shut their brain off and just have fun. Tactical shooters are the antithesis of mindless entertainment because they require players to be thoughtful, attentive, and strategic in order to succeed and only become fun if you're the kind of person who likes slower, more methodical gameplay.
@@Madara8989 never thought of it like that .. i too dominated bots as a kid :) .. nothing since could touch BFBC2 multiplayer even today, but I think you're right.
I tried this game on steam for the free weekend and I was amazed by the fact that the devs put the time to code accurate sound speed travel in it. I was doing some recon for the squad as a marksman with a spotter when a tank shot at our squad in a bunker behind us from a long distance, the warheads were flying just over our heads hitting the bunker behind and we could only ear the boom sound from the firing tank afterwards, just this tiny detail had me so immersed, first time I see that in a video game, and first time I'm thrilled being shot at by a tank !
Hopefully your first and only time to be thrilled about an engagement with a tank😂. In all seriousness, not many games do it at this scale. The only other game that i can think of that does it really well is Arma 3.
One of the best things you can experience in the game is getting bombarded by artillery while the commanding officer tries to talk through the explosions. Fun times. That one.
I actually love the chaos of these types of battles. This is what battlefield should/could have become. No heros no "battle poses". None of that crap. Just strategy and dangerous fights. 💥
I can't help it but when I study Drewskis videos I always here him say" someone's poking my tent" 😂 if you don't know it's his summer camp raid he did I think with his sister but being older I was proud they carried on the tradition of camp night raids❤ you da man Drewski
Ohhhh hearing that BF2 music takes me right back to childhood of Gulf of Oman as Demo first and then later getting more into it and BF2PR. Instant memory revival.
@@insurgentleman they're still good ( if they know what they are doing ) and i love tactical shooters 'cause i love realism but being slow isn't kind of my thing, i don't really have to be fast, i Just love action
I just wanna say thank you so much for getting me into squad from your videos I went from getting angry and leaving because nothing ever happened around me and dying to s8me random guy that fires just 1 or 2 bullets to being in the most intense combat in a video game ever and actully enjoying thanks drewski.
I love seeing the British faction!(I am biased, I'm British after all) One thing I have to say is that that scope picture seems to be missing a hollow circle in the centre of the reticle, at least that's the feature the UGL SA 80 had that I held this one time.
Can the tanks drive through and knock over trees in the forest? Or knock trees down with tank shells? Or are the tees essentially static unmoveable objects?
When he's ADS and the image is suddenly zoomed in even further, is that video editing for our benefit or does he have something on his PC allowing him to zoom in on the screen while playing?
And then there's me running around and then dying to some bugger hiding in the bushes or from somewhere I can't see.
Drew has those moments too, we just don't get to see them :)
That is war, bruh
@@Joze1090 i never have those moments! I never die, i get 28-0 every game!

honestly, the best part about BF2 was the Realism mod, and that's essentially what Squad is in spirit.
I miss strike at karkand

Had many a LAN session in Co-Op with AI and family/buds. Great stuff. Mods for BF2 + AI was epic fun. B)

Yeah that sound design also got me really immersed. Really well done
Wait you don’t usually like getting shot at by tanks?

i'm sick rn and drewski's videos are the only thing keeping me sane rn lol
get well soon
Bro same whachu got
Watching Drewski content is a highlight of my day
A UA-cam video should never be the highlight of your day. Touch grass, get some bitches me boi
Yup
Sees a single pixel in a sea of trees: "That's an AK"
The old Battlefield music is hitting me a whole different way.
dude that OG battlefield 2 music in the intro, soooooooo good!
harju is a pretty cool map played squad the last 3 days and having a blast forgot how fun squad is. btw thank you for the vid drewsker
incoming rounds just sound so good on this game
I actually love the chaos of these types of battles. This is what battlefield should/could have become.
No heros no "battle poses". None of that crap. Just strategy and dangerous fights. 💥
That bf2 music in the intro🥵
fantastic match! glad we could be a part of it! B)
Damn, that battlefield 2 music for the dragon valley map at the video start really took me back...
The ol’ Flank n’ Spank
If Arma and Battlefield had a baby. This would be it.
Best comment ever. You beat me to it you dipship.
This was such an intense stream as well!
Nice big update. Squad is a good game
I can't help it but when I study Drewskis videos I always here him say" someone's poking my tent" 😂 if you don't know it's his summer camp raid he did I think with his sister but being older I was proud they carried on the tradition of camp night raids❤ you da man Drewski
So glad you're loving Andor I couldn't agree more, its like the expanse and star wars got together and had Andor.
The old school BF2 music is a nice touch
The grenadier role is.... so so so much fun in this game.
Aah Bf2 intro music..I miss that game so much
Harju is Finnish, and it means "Ridge".
Nice to see Finnish landscape in a video game.
That challenger rolling up at the end was sick
Hi! I always manage to catch these so early without notifications, they just keep coming up right as I refresh my home page
Oh cool my chat was in this
Beautiful L85 with GL game play, just what it was made to do 😎
Yooo the BF2 music at the end! That took me way back. My first online larping experience. good times thanks Drewski!
Ohhhh hearing that BF2 music takes me right back to childhood of Gulf of Oman as Demo first and then later getting more into it and BF2PR. Instant memory revival.
This game is so realistic, all the gun sounds are purely from players, it’s graphics and mechanics are phenomenal 😮
bro actually playing strike at karkand loading screen music from old bf2
you're gonna make me cry drewsky stop, the nostalgia is too strong
I'm in love with your content, it's both tactical and enterteining it's not like most tactical shooter videos that after 5 minutes it gets boring
yeah I guess not everyone has the mental capacity for full tactical videos
@@insurgentleman they're still good ( if they know what they are doing ) and i love tactical shooters 'cause i love realism but being slow isn't kind of my thing, i don't really have to be fast, i Just love action

The music at the beginning made me goose bumps immediately :) Best times in BF 2
Been prayin for new squad gameplay🤤
Drewski sweet content like always!
They need to add destruction physics like in battlefield to this game. It would make it so much better and more dynamic.
Agreed. Squad is the only true competitor to BF
Wish they'd pop the rmr on top of the elcan as per issue
Haha, that one dude going "For the republic" charging in xD
Those cracks in the distance LOL nailed it
Hey Drew, just wanted to say how much i love your videos. Your entertaining commentary and the nice gameplay are always making my day. Keep it up
Keep up the awesome work Drewski, and keep kicking ass!
Squad is chaos. Its awesome.
Drewski convinced me Squad has hope in going mainstream
tea and medals all round I say chaps.
That sneaky Battlefield music intro, I love it.
drew you and your brother are the best youtubers ever
Absolutely! 👍😂
Matt and ol Drew Carriker. Best brother duo on youtube
Who’s his brother?

Awesome spectating map for sure!
Almost at 2 million Drew! By the time I wake up I hope you have reached it.
I love seeing the British faction!(I am biased, I'm British after all)
One thing I have to say is that that scope picture seems to be missing a hollow circle in the centre of the reticle, at least that's the feature the UGL SA 80 had that I held this one time.
Hearing the Mec Theme brings back good memories of battlefield 2
Digging the use of smokes to mark targets, you know like you would in real life. No “Spotted” and map marker. Nice. And yeah, it is pretty.
10/10 for BF 2 music at the beggining
Damn Drew, ice cold on that one!
took me off guard with the battlefield 2 MEC music
Grenadier is my favorite kit in squad, that gl can ruin a whole squads day and clear out lanes for a push
That Strike at Karkand/MEC theme got me nostalgic
Imagine this in real life: "Everyone around you is dead, Drew". That was a good "Oh shit!?" moment.
Huh.. Harju you say.. ...uhhhhhhhhhhh, im danger.
Love the BF2 classic Music at the start
THAT WAS MY BURNING LOGI AT THE BEGINNING!! HOW DARE YOU KILL IT!!
Man you were operating like you were SAS. You did a spectacular job dude. Like a really good job haha I envy you xD
when the battlefield 2 spec ops music hits different
liked the bf2 mec theme at the beginning
This is going to be some epic action!
I really hope they bring squad to next gen consoles
That Battlefield 2 music hit me like a freight train.
wish I had a group of friends that played this as I'm tiered of playing it solo
This map is great looking and seems like it plays well. Great bit of content.
one update i want squad to have is when you scope in the environment stays the same it doesn't zoom in with the scope.
100 players?
Planetside: thats some rookie numbers.
Can the tanks drive through and knock over trees in the forest? Or knock trees down with tank shells? Or are the tees essentially static unmoveable objects?
Good question
It’s squad gameplay again!!
@2:00 How the FUCK did he spot that guy?!
LoL, can you imagine a Gazelle with some HOT-3's flying around this map.. Hitting that BMP from 3 clicks out lol
Hey drewski keep up the good work 👍
Holy shit! That BF2 music at the start gave me the feels !!!
God that intro music really brought back memories....
That BF2 music in the intro oml
When you gonna play Ready or Not?
I’ve never played this before but I like watching videos and I had a question, do you get to pick your weapon attachments and your gear?
ended it with 521 tickets! wow that is a lot of tickets.
"cool fight!" Proceeds to snipe more enemy's 🤣
this game has the best sounds
12:06, your hearing problems are not service related lmao
Props for the BF2 Music :)
Currently at MCT watching your vid
I love the BF2 music for these vids intros
The BF2 music in the into just hits different.
Lmao the bots are hilarious
When he's ADS and the image is suddenly zoomed in even further, is that video editing for our benefit or does he have something on his PC allowing him to zoom in on the screen while playing?
whats up drewski big fan here
Drewski your aiming is unreal dude, shiiiiii
Gotta love harju it is my country after all
The DLSS smudges on those trees can get real bad at times xD
The absolute sheer QUANTITY of tickets you were draining from that support by fire position. 👨🍳👌💋
Ill take you in my team anytime Drew, you`re a beast buddy. Good Game
Nice!
good starting music.
Wish this game would still run
MEC has the best theme in bf2, hands down.
Will you cover battlebit this weekend?
