This is Exactly what Squad Needs More of... 

what makes tactical shooters actually great is having a good squad leader, in pr, squad, arma, the most fun games are the ones with good squad leaders

You should try to get this guy featured on the channel again. He made this round very immersive to watch.

Slorgs met one good squad leader and immediately folded 🤭 Squad leader ❎️ Squad daddy ✅️

People like Rektikel are the heart and soul of Squad aha

What I've learned about Squad is that there are a lot of actual Veterans that play it, this being known the older men being squad leaders and commanders is the best/easiest way to win.

I'm a pretty experienced SL and I recognize your SL in this, he is definitely one of the good ones.

90% of games people be juggling squad leader like it's a hot potato

"I feel like, rounds like this...I could recommend Squad to anyone!" Man you're not lying...as a former hardcore player watching this vid almost makes me want to fire it back up again. Use to play daily for hours but recently fell out of love with the game (even prior to the ICO update) but man does this vid demonstrate peak Squad!

A good squad leader A+ a good squad that listens A+++. Having a communicative and team orientated squad is all a SL can ask for.

Respect to the real Squad Leaders out there, you improve the game for everyone and now that I'm a few years experience into joining that role and commander, I'm forever thankful to those who show their respect to such a cognitively overwhelming task. Also, hallmark of an excellent strategist and leader at 3:22, he adapts to circumstance by voiding his current plan and getting everyone to disengage and do something more critical, games are won so often due to this skill.

This is why I have advocated for a squad leader rating system (which can't be easily abused obviously) for quite some time. The quality of the squad leader has a huge impact on how enjoyable these types of games are and I think there hasn't been done enough to reward the squad leader role.

I had a lovely commander that was like him, we did mechanised INF with a bradley, he micro-managed 2 squads on invasion and it was glorious. our bradley squad and a tank squad. the tank gave us BigDickSupport from a distance before we moved up, bradley suppressed the point then rolled with us into point with the coaxial. everyone loved it. then his bradley blew up around the end of the game thanks to a poorly made decision, you heard him slam his fist into his table and he mumbled "for fucks sake" and then disconnected. was a very good SL but as soon as something didnt go his way, he rage quit like a baby

Lately I’ve had pretty mixed experiences with the game, so much so that I’m starting squad leading, from being primarily a medic player, I find that it’s a different kind of satisfaction knowing I helped my guys/gals have fun. But it sucks too sometimes lol

I just found your channel from this video. It does shoe how amazing a game can be with a good SL, and even a good squad in general. Communication is the most important part of this game. I also will say you are one of the squad RU-vidrs that actually seem knowledgeable of squad and its idiosyncrasies :)

lol, I know exactly what you refer to when you're talking about "big play test vibes". That was the most fun I ever had with squad. There was almost always a try hard sweaty dark voiced SL who took us all under his wings

Squad with a good squadleader and teammates is like heaven, doesent matter if you win or lose

"I'm doing a big bend myself." is my 2024 quote. -thank you slorgs

Slorgs: good thing I'm using my ears. Slorgs 5 min later: ooh a loud vehicle snuck up on me. Id be happy to have you on my squad ANYTIME Slorgs.

Thanks for the video Slorgs and SL Rektikel.

Dudes glazing on the squad leader 😂

2:12 "u should not be happy, im a detriment to ur squad" *starts looking down the rifle barrel*

Honestly just started playing this game, and I’m hooked. The community has been nothing but brilliant, top game and top community! Will be sweating this daily !

man, this is like an artform haha, being able to manage the squad like that is 1 in a 100...props to your squads comms and teamwork

Makes me proud to see other SL’s putting in the work!

Love the commentary, good round!

I like the way you do your video. I like your commentary, you're really funny. And I like that you show condensed interesting squad gameplay :)

the thing that makes squad the most fun is 1. Having a good squad leader 2. Having a squad that listens to the squad leader

Im also the biggest fan of that m27. Its the best weapon in the game imo. If you put it in semi you can actually use it like a marksmen with less damage and a smaller scope but it is still incredibly accurate and useful for sniping single targets at mid to long ranges

shoutout to all the leads dropping rallys on the hill, and to the campers in the forests, scoping out their kills. for all the logi drivers who didn't say a thing, and to all the hab raiders we lost in the game (rest in peace)

Serious games with with a organised squad make for the best games! Couldn’t be more fun

Amezing content mate keep making videos like this

i had this scottish guy at my squad a week or so ago, most fun ive ever had in squad. he even got mad when i used comms randomly, saying "i dont wanna chit chat at whats your favourite ice cream lad". fuckin incredible. wish i had friended him

Being someone who plays tons of different games and shooters. NOTHING has touched the dopamine of being a good squad leader or commander/ having the squad or other SLs listen and winning by ~10-100 tickets

your commentary is actully so good with his total seriousness😂😂

Bro, I simply just love you

props to the amazing SL

man watching squad videos from different countries makes me feel good aussie squad servers are always like this and people get pissy if you dont sl like this guy does its how its meant to be played communication and coordination is the key to winning

The first contact I had with Squad was a free weekend and I was lucky enough to fall in with a very friendly and organized squad leader. At the end of the match I added him as a friend and the following week I bought the game. Since then I've been addicted to the game and I agree that the peak of this game is when the squad leader is a true leader.

here is the story of my first Squad experiance: Joined a server, every squad was full - so i decieded to open my own squad. (i love tactic shooters. i play Post Scriptum(squad44) an thought that experience would help a bit) i spawned in the main base and took a logi truck, the game just startet and there were no spawnpoints available yet. i did not rly know where to go because i could not see any objectives on the map. so i just placed a move marker and headed towards it. while on my way there.... our team captured the point in that area so i planned a new route. THEN i noticed that we have to capture point after point to "reveal" the objectives... still didnt knew where to go. so i just drove along other trucks, hoping to go in the right direction. then the commander asked me wtf i was doing. i've told him that i have no clue and that im new. he told me that this is no excuse for being brain dead.... after i've asked what he was on about, everyone else yelled at me for being rude to the serveradmin. then i was kicked from the server.... i swear to god i just wanted to know why he was so mad. lesson learned.... didnt touch the game for a year

Rektikel reminds me of my old Arma groups leader never rude, never angry just got stuff done and added so much immersion

Great content subscribed

I've played with this squad lead... that match was insane

Great gameplay!

Rektikel is literally him

I recognize at least half of the players in this video lol. You got some good ones on your team.

I’ve seen his gamer tag, but never had the pleasure to have him squad lead me. Good chap

the best moments is when you have that group of irl friends going on spec ops missions by yourselfs😂

This was such a beautiful romance story slorgs!

I don't even play squad but this is very entertaining

I'm crying! LOL hilarious!

I wouldn't mind ICO that much if all SQLs were like this one. Absolute legend.

As a SL, games are always a hell of a good time when you have even 2 or 3 squads with competent SLs working together. You said it perfectly - you are a tool at your SLs disposal. SLs are playing both an FPS and RTS simultaneously, except the characters in the RTS are controlled by real people. SLs with an ability to influence their squaddie's decisions is a huge game changer.

Bro was letting one out before entering the battlefield 😂 Which reminds me of a video of a dude who was out in the frontlines letting one out then gets a nade dropped on him by a drone.

If you get the bug where your view doesn't move with the vehicle, try switching seats. Usually fixes it.

i gradually turned gay for SL as the match progressed

SLs who don’t pollute with too much talk. Fuck yeah that guy is amazing

Best advice is to find a server that's dedicated to the team/squad play and stick with that server as much as possible. I usually load into a seed server while in long queues for the good teamwork oriented servers.

The enjoyment of Squad for me is 90% in the hands of the squad leader. The other 10% are the amazing and funny ass interactions with the other players especially when there is proximity chat with the other team on the server.

captain cookie is the man who will love u forever

As an amazing SL myself, you have to be willing to lay down in a building in the middle of your squad and simply play chess with your pieces. Rarely do I get in firefights. I'm laying down coordinating way more than I'm shooting. It's all about organizing logistics, placing your team in the correct area, laying down and moving your pieces so that you adjust with the new flanks of the enemy.

Most sad experience of Squad is that good sqiad leaders are so rare. And most of the times I get back to the game I get to te squad where nonone is communicating. It is so bad then...

Be the change.

Defense is for chads, not losers

man this looks so good! I hope Bohemia roll out ARMA IV some time soon lol

The best thing about a tactical shooter is also the worst thing about it, you can't enjoy it without good teammates and you don't always get good teammates, but when you do it sure is a blast (talking from PR experience)

I love you Slorgs.

For sure if you get a decent SL and a squad where at least 50% of the guys try to play together it is always a fun round to play.

bro got squad leader rizzed

I never watch these style gameplay videos I’m usually looking at guides and meta gaming style stuff for squad but when you actually have a good SL it makes normal gameplay vids worth watching.

You ain't lying

nice video man

What parts are installed in your PC? I'm afraid my PC won't be able to handle the game

What settings are you running?

dude, how are you finding servers in squad? Its the only reason why i dont play. Nothing I do fixes the server browser :c

i wish i could find more squads like this....

Yeah, in the world of automatic matchmakers, its rare that people form strong communities and thus good teammates (leaders in this case).

8:00 turned that dude into borscht

I love these kind of rounds. I recommend (if youre in Europe) to join the 44th servers. There the almost 70% of the time the squad leads are like that.

I think a great squad leader makes the game...the game sucks if you have a bad squad leader! but if you have a good one like this dude. it makes it just amazing!

imagine working as a squad leader of another squad with this guy

Good leader

Like the video people, cmonnnn.. this is quality content.

Lol, imagine him at full power!

2:05 🦍

I’d really love to see you join a clan that runs more serious games. I recently joined 1stRB and literally within an hour of finishing their intro interview thing I was in a squad session that lasted 4 games and had some of the BEST teamwork I’ve ever experienced in Squad

need to get them revive numbers up

I love your comments so much!

Bro i just random join your video and i am in your squad AHAHAHAH good game

Dude has probably been playing the game since it was first playable.

I had a game where squad lead led this massive fucking push up to this FOB. Dude got us through so much. Then he left abruptly and the entire team just deteriorated into fuckups lol

Got the same one day with an active german Soldier. He was in the Airborne Division from the Bundeswehr he was one man of a kind😂 you can defenitly tell if somebodys job is to be in the warzone👍😅

What could also help this game among other things would be to change this "super exiting" 12 o clock sunny (not existing) weather in most maps. The maps just feel dead. There is no weather, there is no real wind or anything. There are no sounds that would indicate wind exists. The eternal 12 o clock sunny day takes away what was cool even in Operation Flashpoint back in the day. I know there are also maps with different lighting, but mostly, its this. They could add fog, rain, wind gusts. Overall its a quite sterile experience the way it is.

I have Question - Does the tactical mounted laser truly serve a functional purpose in a squad, or is it primarily a showcase item?

What settings do you have ? I have a 3070 and the game barely runs at 30 fps

2:10 bro Got a Third leg

Legit. An awesome SL is what makes this game SQUAD. Without one, it's just a running simulator.

12:15 THIS IS THE MOST FUNNIEST PART OF THE MATCH. HAHAHA, THEY'RE LIKE THOSE MAGNETS!

this is why im saying ICO didnt change anything its all about squad leaders i would even say ICO made many experience ppl leave so now u need to be very lucky do get a good squad lead

3:40 the weapon icon there doesn’t show up for me. Do I have to buy or download anything? Pls help

what server is this?
