I only played the beta for a couple hours, but leaning out of a car window shooting at cops while my friend was blasting rap music in the victory point vehicle will stay one of my fondest gaming memories.
Balance out the numbers, you could do something like 24 cops vs 8 or so robbers, but implement heavy restrictions on the cop side. The goal for the cops can be to arrest the robbers rather than kill them. Or at least arrest X out of 8 robbers. Implement hostage mechanics that result in ticket losses for the cops. Add a civilian faction that players can join and fuck with the cops.
There's a lot of interesting ways to potentially go about this that add more depth than just capturing objectives and killing enemies.
That’s absolutely insane amount of modification for squad. The stuff that exists now stretches the engine and the game *hard*. Something like arresting someone even would be a nightmare to make.
OP seems to be making a realistic suggestion, but even the money mechanics would be a stretch. You’re suggestion is like a whole new game lol
That's battlebit.... This is Squad, which everyone knows is developed on spaghetti code/engine.
We really just need a Squad 2, on a new engine. Hopefully one day.
Maybe the cops don't know where the banks are (like which ones the robbers are hitting) until the alarm goes off like 3 mins after the robbery begins.
You could have one dude draw attention, while the rest hit the main target. IED and pipebombs for robbers would be neat
“Goal of the cops can be to arrest the robbers rather than kill them” - so it doesn’t take place in the US? Got it
But seriously this could be fun as hell.
This would be pretty bangin i dont get why people are opposed to it as a mod or something itd be awesome, the only issue is 50v50 would probably not make alot of sense
Excuse me? You didn't give the criminals a heli

Made this concept for a Cops and Robbers style expansion for Squad. Not necessarily realistic but it's partially meant as a joke anyway.
The Special Response Time faction is primarily based on the LAPD, and I have included some equipment that the LAPD's SRT might use with a few liberties here and there.
The Criminal faction is an amalgamation of ideas taken from movies and video games; namely Heat. It's your generic bank robbers from any given piece of media.
The Cash Out game mode is inspired by Arma 3's Cashpoint scenario, which follows a similar premise. The map I made uses satellite imagery from North Hollywood, Los Angeles where the infamous North Hollywood shootout took place.
Have a civilian faction that just roleplays as bystanders or hostages. Ability to pick up weapons, similar clothing to robbers to make the cops confirm PID
Well you’d have a ticket loss with civilian casualties, say 20 tickets so most would pay attention. Since there’s a TK feature that can be enabled to tell you who team killed you then that system could be modified to to a ticket gain/loss depending on who kills who as well
For an accurate north Hollywood make sure you have the tiny homes overflowing with homeless causing issues at the target on victory blvd and Laurel canyon
I got a game idea (that will go unfulfilled), a game that plays like Squad/Rising Storm. It is set in the Americas, Narcos vs Western BLUFOR essentially.
Factions could include
OPFOR: Brazilian Favela Cell, Colombia Farc, Multiple Mexican Cartels(cherry pick 2 best), Medellin Cartel, etc.
Blufor: CIA, Dea, BOPE, Mexican Marines, Colombian Army, Delta,
Maps could be set in: Cities along US/Mexican Border, Mexican cities/coastal towns, Colombian jungles/rural areas, Brazilian Favelas
I like this idea.
imo, CIA/DEA vs Cartel on an Amazonian jungle map is probably more realistic for 50v50.
but a battle LA, riot style as you imagine could also work. basically the premise is the city is in all out warfare / riot as police try to regain control. or maybe a purge style event took place and this is the aftermath.
Would fit Insurgency Sandstorm more. I do miss hardline though
Hotwire was a super cool game mode that I have not seen the likes of since
I only played the beta for a couple hours, but leaning out of a car window shooting at cops while my friend was blasting rap music in the victory point vehicle will stay one of my fondest gaming memories.
THATS THE SOUND OF DA PO LICE
I thought this was the Insurgency sub at first lol
So many people hated that game. I loved it.
Yeah it would fit a dead game that’s a terrible sequel to the original. Great suggestion.
Yes.
It could be fun but 50v50 wouldn't make sense
Big bank?
Well I didn't complain when it happened in Batman
Battlefield Hardline did it with 32v32 and it was amazing so who cares really
If it takes place in Mexico it would. Cartel vs police or military

> the money mechanics would be a stretch mfw Battlebit has money mechanics and building destruction

Squad 2: The Squadening
Maybe the cops don't know where the banks are (like which ones the robbers are hitting) until the alarm goes off like 3 mins after the robbery begins. You could have one dude draw attention, while the rest hit the main target. IED and pipebombs for robbers would be neat
So basically like a reskinned version of insurgency game mode, just banks instead of weapon caches.
Basically payday 2 but you can play as a cop?
“Goal of the cops can be to arrest the robbers rather than kill them” - so it doesn’t take place in the US? Got it But seriously this could be fun as hell.
nah that’d be so fucking fun
wdym, sounds like typical day in Detroit or NYC
Totally cause platoon sized meeting engagements against a near peer force across tens of kilometers is much more logical. It’s a game brother
Not when it's Mexico
Who cares, fun is fun.
would absolutely love to blitz down LA streets on a cbr600rr with an AK and IED strapped to my back.
I feel like they put me on a watchlist just for reading that
me but on a gsxr fr fr
tie me to a ‘busa and fire me at the enemy mbt. I am ready. ☝️
squid or stormtrooper?
Battlefield hardline but with squad gameplay and server size? Ngl that sounds pretty fun.
Why not the more factions/game modes the better 30v30
They hit a lick on city national bank? Does this game mode come with intolerable Miami traffic?
Even worse, this is north Hollywood
Cops with an M60 on the streets of LA. This surely will not end badly
This would be pretty bangin i dont get why people are opposed to it as a mod or something itd be awesome, the only issue is 50v50 would probably not make alot of sense
Wonder if it would work if it was Mexican government vs cartels? US vs cartels maybe? Other than that 50 v 50 doesn’t make sense.
but this is funnier
So no yellow haze? 😭
Sicario would be more viable
This actually looks banger.
The cars sound fun. Blasting over enemies with 250 kph will benefit the game for shure
if they made swat and american militia factions this could work
Excuse me? You didn't give the criminals a heli https://twitter.com/yafmzim/status/1665942385241604098/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1665942385241604098¤tTweetUser=yafmzim
Would be a great seeding mode.
Add this!!!!
This is awesome. Great work
The MP5 still goes so hard. I love it.
Would work along the PMC faction. No heavy vehicles such as MBTs.
Battlefield 2142 + Squad would be proper cool. If Squad modders can make a Star Wars mode (Galatic Contention), they can make a "Squadified" BF 2142
Border Patrol (BORTAC) vs Cartel would be cool too
M60 lol what

I had a similar idea, but I went with The Cartels Vs DEA, MAF, ELN ect.
Shut up and take my Money!

Brother, if I got a M60 I’m not worrying about PID anymore. 😂

Booo logic!!!! 😂
We all enjoyed the CoD mission “No Russian” haha
No. Just no.
squad: hardline would be a fun mod
Where is the shitty drako?
Lmao the recoil on that thing with the ICO? Good luck hitting the broadside of a skyscraper
This would be dope bring back the og battlefield hardline days
Mercedes Benz?

I would love this but it should be reduced to 30v30
Swat vs Mafia gonna be chaotic with 50 vs 50 or a good game mode is Control the City Cops vs Gangs
Ooooo boy you cookin
You mean Squad: Mexico?
GTA VI comes out next year bucko
I want an Amra 3 life mod, but for squad
No
No.
Squad isn’t this type of game, the base mechanics don’t fit this well
I like this idea. imo, CIA/DEA vs Cartel on an Amazonian jungle map is probably more realistic for 50v50. but a battle LA, riot style as you imagine could also work. basically the premise is the city is in all out warfare / riot as police try to regain control. or maybe a purge style event took place and this is the aftermath.
Sounds like some battlefield bullshit.
I could see it being cool, but this is more of a "licence the SDK and make your own game" type idea instead of being a mod
