What Is Squad?
Squad is a mass multiplayer online player vs player game consisting of 50 players either side. Each team has a simple task of capturing strategic points in order. This is called AAS (advance and secure), RAAS (Random Advance and Secure) and Invasion (enemy starts at the closest point to you but is the same principle as AAS).
Squad also features massive arsenals of weapons and vehicles across ten playable factions, some of these factions include Australians, USA, China, Russia and Insurgents.
The game is won and lost on a ticket point system, each side having a certain amount of tickets or points as some like to call them. Tickets are lost by eliminating players, vehicles and taking strategic points. Tickets can be won by taking back lost strategic points.BigD is your home of SQUAD in Australia
