Introduction to Squad
Squad is a tactical first-person shooter that emphasizes teamwork, communication, and strategic gameplay. Unlike most FPS games, success in Squad depends heavily on coordination with your team.
What Makes Squad Different
- No Lone Wolves: You need your team to succeed
- Communication is Key: Voice chat is essential, not optional
- Slower Pace: Tactical decisions matter more than reflexes
- Teamwork Wins: A coordinated squad beats skilled individuals
