Explained simply
Squad is a first-person multiplayer game in which two teams fight across large maps. Unlike faster shooters built around individual action, it puts more emphasis on players communicating and working together.
Matches can involve up to 100 players, organised into smaller squads. Teams use infantry and vehicles, while moving supplies and setting up bases and rally points to support their efforts. This mix of coordination and military-style detail places the game between mainstream shooters and more realistic military simulations.
