Yeah the recoil is wayyyyy too much. I don't think the devs have ever shot real guns before.

Have you ever considered, that the reason is you?

Guns work fine, if you know how to handle them!

It inflicts your aim, when you are under fire, which is a great way how to simulate stress and it makes suppressive fire valuable. The other thing is stamina... if one does not sprint the whole time, keeps the exhaustion under control and aims correctly, weapons are very effective!

Controlled single shots work fine for more precise aiming, while full-auto bursts give you some recoil inaccuracy but are great for CQB up to 25 Meters! A little overwork for some weapons might be fine, but overall everything is working as needed. Squad is just no arcade shooter, so the more disciplined gameplay is wanted!

Not after the recent update. You probably need to turn your sensitivity up because you can counter sway, even put accurate bursts on full auto if you can control the recoil. The sway is just that some times you're not meant to be shooting through a hail of bullets.

Terrible advice. You counter sway by firing when sight swings on target rather than moving your mouse. Jittering the mouse, which is easier said than done without cheating, might actually counter sway.

I feel fine but many others don't. The devs should do something to make Squad as great as it used to be.

hitting what you're shooting at and seeing bullets wiz and impact by you makes suppressive fire valuable, like IRL, not artificial difficulty

game has been growing for the last year, squad is doing fine you boomer.

It's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ico (which they admittedly have been trying to fix) and the reddit admins who spend the whole game riding the ass of everyone on their team

Cant solo without mic

I keep coming back to community pages of the Squad. Just to check if they rollback that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ infantry update. Then I quit again. Not playing it for a very long time.
Guys... especially who defend this update, you must remember that this is A GAME. It doesn't have to be as realistic as real life war. I just want to have fun. There is no game that takes like 2 seconds to open scope and aim. Your soldier feels like a drug addict 40kilo female soldier when moving.
Real soldier reviews also approves me. They say they can sprint more and aim well while courched even though they are exhousted from running.

ICO ruined the game, people that made ICO never touched a gun

Overall I love this game and always want it to be better for all players. Hope everyone can enjoy the matches in Squad!

Also,

I got accused for team killing by a random team mate when I never even fired a round or threw a grenade yet. They go and cry like babies to the admins for just a team kill. And not to mention, I was the commander. Then I got to deal with bans from these anti white devs and admins. thanks J's

I'm the same I havn't touched it since October 2023, and even then it was just playing a little bit here and there. Imagine making an FPS where the character can't even aim and a gun.

What's funny is preICO people statistically were not getting 100's of kills, you'd be lucky on a good day to get 10 the majority of the time it was 3 or 4. So these people defending the introduction of this frustrating aiming system can't even weight up whether the previous aiming system was COD like or not.
