Vampr ... don’t get frustrated like me the first time I played Squad. Spend some time on the firing range getting used to the controls. The control set is a lot simpler than a game like ARMA but you still have to understand it. One standout is that the “sprint” key doubles as a zoom/hold breath key while in ironsite/scope mode.
Also, the manual is short and to the point ... well worth a quick read and answers all your up front questions when you enter multiplayer.
<snip> How did you know who was enemy? <snip>
As GuNDoC mentioned, he’s in full hardcore mode playing with no HUD on this map where it’s basically green on green (there’s usually a slight difference in camo color or the enemy is in full taliban garb)
WITH the HUD, if you hover your crosshairs over a player and don’t see their name, they’re the enemy. I can’t guarantee this though. Before I shoot at someone from a distance, I usually check my map to see if any friendlies are in that area.
One funny/cool detail about Squad is that you can actually look down at your body to see what you’re wearing and tell yourself, “I will not shoot at someone who looks like this”.
