SQUAD

Squad is a tactical team-based shooter inspired by Project Reality, emphasizing coordination within the team. Each match features two sides, with squads consisting of up to nine players each. Every player selects a class that plays a specific role in combat: medic, field engineer, machine gunner, light machine gunner, sniper, light sniper (marksman), anti-tank specialist with a light rocket launcher or tandem rocket launcher, rifleman, or unarmed. Matches take place on very large, realistic battlefields covering up to 8 km². Teams can utilize various vehicles, including tanks, armored personnel carriers, transport trucks, and helicopters. Using both vehicles and infantry, teams fight for various objectives, such as strategic points that need to be held or rebel weapon caches that the opposing team must destroy. Squad leaders can build forward operating bases where fallen soldiers respawn. These bases must be connected to supply lines. The combat effectiveness of teams is simulated through a ticket system. Losing strategic locations, destroying forward operating bases or vehicles, and soldier deaths deplete a team's tickets. When a team's ticket count reaches zero, the match ends, and the team loses. A team that loses a significant number of strategic objectives begins to lose tickets every minute. Thus, teams have multiple ways to achieve victory, such as exhausting the enemy's combat capabilities or completing all tactical tasks.
