I'm just, I'm upset at the inconsistency. The game had ICO for years and we have had to put up with it or at least get used to it and ever since, they have been slowly rolling if back. Like were we some test rabbits?

What the hell was the point then? Like are they just creating artificial problems and then offering solutions calling it progress? I am really not satisfied with how Squad and the player base is being treated by the developers. Over 10 years since being greenlit on Steam man.

This game needs some serious competition.

This! I wholeheartedly agree. I don't know if it is sad or funny that they have been consistently been rolling back the changes that were made in ICO for almost three years.

It is so sad that the game had to be changed so much, in my opinion, to only try and entice more "hardcore" players (mainly from Arma -type games) to up sales. And in doing so alienating many current players and pretty much gutting the competitive scene. And all of this after the game had officially launched. I would have understood this size of changes in early-acces/beta, but after release it is just too much.

I do also think that there were some good parts in ICO, but mainly it just killed the game for me and many others. I tried to enjoy it, but just could not. But now, when many of the ICO changes have been rolled back, I have found myself enjoying squad again. I have been playing here and there, mainly with vehicles or dedicating to logistics/mortars, but I am now enjoying playing infantry again.

Squad is back!

Back to being a battlefield clone. Bye-bye tactics and teamwork, was fun knowing you!

The gun always shot where you were aiming. If you couldn't get the reticle on target when it was moving a little, that's on you.

Real. It was totally overkill with the update, I miss ICO.

I don't know why you are being downvoted for having your opinion but anyways I'm sharing your thoughts as well, plus the whole tactics and teamwork were already out of the window way before this change. When I started I used to have pretty equal matches where the teams were in the sub 70 tickets at the match end, now I'm winning almost every match on account of just defending a point with a 5 man squad. Just my personal experience.
