Cons
- I feel like it's the same as going to SQUAD or Insurgency and saying "oh I die way too quickly, game isn't fun when it's *too* realistic".
- Game is broken and can't find a game half the time. All servers are called "fuck owi" and have fake player counts.
- I really don't like it when games do an engine upgrade like this when it is totally not needed for this specific reason. Why make it so a good chunk of your community can't play the game anymore because of performance issues
- Because like me, people can't run the game anymore due to ue5 being a shit engine. The game was already hard on fps before, now you need to upgrade your PC to play the game you bought years ago.
- Squad is, and will continue to, dying because it treats new players like shit.

In the last year, before the UE5 update, squad was hitting all time peaks, now just 2 months after the overhaul the game is hitting all time low player counts...
Squad for some reason is a weird in between BF and Arma which I didn't felt for.
The RO/RS games have always been something of a different feel to me than the Arma games or Squad style games.
Try Squad or Arma Reforger.
Parent context: So they emphasize their realism, but also mention rising storm? I mean, I love Squad and the Rising Storm series, but they are fundamentally different in their approaches and Squad is far more “realistic” it that’s what you wanna call it Reply: Squad devs are going with the term "authentic" nowadays which I think reflects better what this type of games try to achieve.
