Will read up on in some on this this evening. Based on 2 mins of game play footage, I may be into this if there is enough interest around here.   I have no patience for public servers of anything anymore.

I've been in contact with their Dev's for a good few months now and they're really keen to see how many guys we can round up for a huge organized session for their media purposes.

I bought in as an early supporter but haven't played for a long time.  The game play is all about working as a team and trying to do anything meaningful teamwork-wise in a public server is almost impossible.  I'd be interested in some organized games if they were a thing.

Arma 3 is the EXACT same way, absent decent players to play with .. It's all about building community .

I'll post the same question here that I did in the last thread - this is for anyone who's played it - what distinguishes this game from arma? Is it really worth dropping $40 when you already own arma?

A lot of us have been playing it all day, we will be playing it all tonight (2030) in Spartan 2-4 feel free to join. We have about a squad right now so it would be awesome to get two squads of guys that can work together!

I have been watching this game for awhile, and I even played a bunch of the BF2 Mod its based off of Project Reality.  Or at least it is the same team developing this game, maybe the concept has changed a bit from the BF2 days.  Anyways I was probably going to pick it up pretty soon, just not sure how well my machine will run it, although I wouldn't mind turning the settings down a bit as the gameplay is where the game shines for me.  Hopefully can get together with you guys and get some tactical play in, will let you know when I have the game.

If anyone needs help getting SweetFX running with Squad let me know.  This game kinda' requires it to not be a blurry mess beyond 50-75m.  It also really helps with trees.

SweetFX 2.0 = Enabled
MSAA = Off (Optional)
FXAA = Off

...trust me on this.
