Mad FRIDAY!

[Dammit Carl!]

Just played Squad for the first time the other day and I loved it -- it's like Arma, but it actually runs above 25 fps!  It really fills the void left by the disappointment that was Insurgency: Sandstorm.

Some of the vids showing the new bells-and-whistles of Squad makes it real impressive for sure.

There's new DLC coming for FoG2??

WOLVES AT THE GATES  :D

But still no single-player content in the least?

Edit - And no it's not a computer wargame so it's probably off topic in this forum.

First, this is the weekend thread so it doesn't matter what type of game.

Second, it's on TTS: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=900581512

So it can count as a computer game.  :D

^sounds like fun. The PBEMing, I mean.

  Some DCS, some World of Warships...and that might be about it.

For Sandstorm?  Nope, still MIA, and Ambush is MIA as well (I didn't care too much for that game mode though tbh).

I was hoping the single-player would turn out to be cool, especially if it had an old school Rainbow Six 3 style squad management system with permadeath.   :dreamer:

^no...for Squad.

[al_infierno]

^no...for Squad.

Correct, no singleplayer content in Squad.  As far as I can tell, the only thing on their roadmap is the Battlefield-esque game mode.

Between the editor and the DLCs, Arma definitely has all other shooters beat in terms of single-player replayability.  I picked up GM as well but havent gotten around to reinstalling Arma....

Great song!

I'll be playing a mod for Civ III Conquests, some Pax Nova, and probably Uboat.  Other than that I'll be spending time with family over the Mother's Day weekend.

Funny, i am playing the rise of Rome scenario in CIV III Conquests with Carthage....also continue my Spartan campaign

[devoncop]

 
More Imperator Rome Spartan Campaign for me which I am actually enjoying in contrast to most others  :)

Also eagerly devouring the Dastactic You Tube series on Field of Glory Empires as Carthage doing a specific challenge but doing a detailed explanation of the games amazingly unique mechanics.....roll on June for the expected release !

I've been really getting into Ghost Recon: Wildlands after my disastrous multiplayer session.  The AI teammates are actually pretty decent.  A lot of effort has gone into the game and it's full of nice little touches.  Very immersive, fun, and satisfying to play.

Tonight it's my gaming group night, and we've decided to play the classic Sins of a Solar Empire.  4v4 vs AI has been suggested, but we will probably do 3 vs Richard because Richard is a bellend.  Sins is possibly my all time favourite game so I'm particularly excited about this one!

Besides that, I'm tinkering with Ashes of the Singularity.  It doesn't seem particularly special, but I'm playing it just because my old PC wouldn't run it very well. :D

Worked 9 hours today..

End me.

[Jarhead0331]

^A whole 9 hours? You Brits really are soft.
