Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 1 week agoI love BF2. I love BF2142. I want to play Squad. I can’t play Squad. It’s a me issue, 100%, but having to do voice comms with randoms in a competitive environment is something I really don’t want to deal with anymore.
The little I did manage to play was fun so support your endorsement. Anyone looking for a combined arms squad based shooter should definitely check the game out.

It’s actually the only game I feel comfortable using comms in. I have social anxiety so it did take me a few months to get used to it but now it feels natural. I’ve rarely come across anything bad either in 2k hours which is nice and it’s more social than competitive.

My short time in game wasn’t bad either, it’s just forcing myself through the initial unwillingness to and anxiety of interacting with people in such environment is a bit too much for me (especially since there’s so many other titles I can use as an excuse to not do that). As I said, it’s a “me” problem.
I’m glad you’re having fun! Old BF games and Project Reality were always a fun niche compared to titles focused solely on infantry combat so having it continue outside of DICE’s attempts is great.
