Squad is a tactical shooter based around squad gameplay designed to encourage teamwork and communication. A match is played between two belligerent teams, with each team being made up of squads that cap at nine players. Players in squads select from various soldier classes which play distinct roles in combat, such as suppressive fire from an automatic rifleman, anti-tank support from a MANPATS gunner, or medical support from a combat medic. A squad of players is led by a squad leader, who can communicate with other allied squad leaders and construct structures such as forward operating bases and defensive emplacements.[4] Any squad leader can additionally nominate himself for the position of commander, who, once voted into position, can coordinate his team's battle plan and call in additional support such as UAV recon and artillery.

Squad borrows many of its gameplay aspects from its predecessor, Project Reality, with its game modes placing heavy emphasis on team coordination.[5] Matches take place on extremely large realistic battlefields up to 36 km2 (14 sq mi) in size, facilitating the use of a wide variety of vehicles such as main-battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, transport trucks and helicopters. The two teams, utilizing vehicle and infantry warfare, compete over various objectives, such as strategic locations to hold or weapon caches to destroy.[6] To facilitate maneuver warfare, squad leaders can construct forward operating bases around the map, which provide a team-wide location for soldiers to respawn and must be kept supplied by a logistics network. Both teams are kept in check by the "ticket" system, which simulates combat effectiveness. The loss of strategic locations, destruction of forward operating bases or vehicles and soldier deaths all remove tickets from a team's pool, and a match ends once a team's ticket pool has been reduced to zero. A team that fails at defending too many of its strategic objectives will begin to lose tickets rapidly, starting at a loss of one per minute and capping out at a maximum of ten per minute. As such, teams have the ability to achieve victory in multiple ways, such as exhausting the enemy's ability to fight or by completing all of their tactical objectives.

There are eight playable factions in Squad, which change based on the map and game mode being played. The real-life militaries featured include the United States Army, Russian Ground Forces, Canadian Army, Australian Army, British Army and most recently added the United States Marine Corps. Three generic stock factions are also included: the Insurgents, modeled after various Middle Eastern insurgent groups, the Irregular Militia, modeled after the paramilitaries of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and the Middle East Alliance, a fictional military alliance amalgamation of the armed forces of various Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries.

In SCP: Secret Laboratory, competing factions are pitted against each other in team-based combat. The player's objective depends on their starting class and usually involves either escaping the facility with scavenged equipment, working to re-contain the various escaped SCPs, or capturing SCP items with the goal of weaponizing them, eliminating Foundation personnel in the process. Each faction wins the round by meeting a different set of conditions.

Either faction wins if they are the last ones remaining and the escape role (ex. Class-D for the Chaos Insurgency) escaped.
SCPs win if they are the last ones remaining and neither faction's escape role escaped.
If either faction is the last one remaining (except SCPs), but the escape role didn't escape, then the result is a stalemate.
Many of the important areas of the facility, such as exits and armouries, require keycards to access. Some factions spawn with keycards, while others must scavenge the facility for them.

The facility is randomly generated based on a number of preset layouts and separated into four floors: Light Containment Zone, Heavy Containment Zone, Entrance Zone, and Surface Zone. After around 11 Minutes (The monitors and announcer say 15 minutes, but the timer is sped up until about 40 seconds remain on the clock), Light Containment Zone undergoes a "decontamination" process which fills the floor with highly corrosive gas, killing everyone and closing the floor.[1][2]

SCPs
SCPs are objects/entities which violate natural law, and are contained within the facility. There are 7 different SCPs that can be played as, each of which has their own unique abilities. In a given round, at least 1 playable SCP will spawn in. More than 1 playable SCP can spawn depending on the number of players. Aside from the playable SCPs, there are stationary and environmental objects contained throughout the facility such as SCP-914, a machine that allows players to upgrade their items and equipment.[1]

Voice Chat
The game features a proximity chat system which allows the various human classes to talk to each other across short distances, although Mobile Task Force Units are given a radio which allows them to communicate over longer distances. Spectators and SCPs are given their own private voice channels which will always work regardless of distance. 2 SCPs, SCP-939 and SCP-079, can use the proximity chat system to talk with nearby humans as well as in their exclusive voice channel.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a compilation of first-person shooter video games in the Halo series, originally released in November 2014 for the Xbox One, and later on Microsoft Windows through 2019 and 2020. An enhanced version was released for the Xbox Series X/S in November 2020. The collection was developed by 343 Industries in partnership with other studios and was published by Xbox Game Studios. The collection includes Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4, which were originally released on earlier Xbox platforms.

Each game added to the Master Chief Collection received a graphical upgrade, with Halo 2 receiving a complete high-definition redesign of its audio and cutscenes, exclusive to the collection, to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The game includes access to the live-action series Halo: Nightfall as well as the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta that was available for a limited time. The collection's multiplayer features every map originally released with each game, including six Halo 2 maps remade from the ground up.

At launch, critics generally praised The Master Chief Collection for its updated audio and visuals, as well as its quantity of content, but was also met with negative reception for its multiplayer aspects due to a significant number of bugs and poor matchmaking experiences. Many of these technical issues were later fixed in post-release patches.

Halo Infinite is a 2021 first-person shooter game developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the sixth mainline entry in the Halo series,[1] and the third in the "Reclaimer Saga" following Halo 5: Guardians (2015).

The campaign follows the human supersoldier Master Chief and his fight against the enemy Banished on the Forerunner ringworld Zeta Halo, also known as Installation 07. Unlike previous installments in the series, the multiplayer portion of the game is free-to-play.

Infinite was planned for release as a launch game with the Xbox Series X/S on November 10, 2020, but was delayed in August 2020. Following an open beta release of the multiplayer component on November 15, 2021, coinciding with the franchise's 20th anniversary, the campaign was released for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on December 8, 2021. Halo Infinite received generally favorable reviews from critics, with some deeming the game a return to form for the series. Praise was directed towards its visuals, gameplay, open world design, soundtrack, and story.

There really are no competitors to DCS, other than Falcon BMS (which falls far behind, despite the fact that it is also a good game). ED (the company behind DCS) develops as if it were an extremely competitive genre and has created an absolutely incredible masterpiece of combat flight simulation. Many of the modules are mind-boggling complex and so detailed that even after years of flying them you discover new things and continue to be dazzled by just how very good this Sim is. Multiplayer is where it is at. Hooking up with an organized squadron is an amazing experience unrivaled by any online gaming clan of first person shooters or mmorpgs. If you want to get something out of DCS world, be prepared to invest time (lots of it), money into hardware and modules. This last statement may turn many off from DCS, but if you do decide to put in what is necessary you will discover a game (sim) and community that soars above the rest the gaming world (pun intended).

Tank mechanic simulator is a game for repairing tanks. I know surprise, surprise. The game is at first so full of stuff to do. The feeling i had the first night i had it was indescribable. The tanks models are high graphic and have some to lots of detail. Though the game really suffers when you have limitless currency from the museum. This takes away from the whole journey. Though the is one of the only marks on a pretty good record for this game. The game is very fun and not addictive at all. The community is mostly from war thunder though it is a minority of war thunder players that from my experience are very nice and at least try to stop the toxicity from war thunder to affect them in this games discord servers. Overall i would recommend this game to anyone if they have the slightest interest in tanks. The game also has little to no glitches or crashes if you are running it on a decent setup.
Really good game

War thunder is a mixed game, it has sparked an intrest in military veacles that has lead me on to many other great games. I love the game though at first it was hard to find a footing, the in-game curency is scarce, really easy to loose and hard to gain. If you are looking to learn the history of planes, ships or tanks at a nice pace it is for you. though if you are looking for fast pace game play don't look to war thunder. i recommend the game though be cairful with how much you play.

On a more intricate note the first 20 hours of the game are sped up in in game progression. After that it slows down to a incredable rate. Though following the update drone age there is little that is fun about the game. Following previous updates like ground breaking and now drone age they have made the game increadably worce to play. For this i would not recommend downloading this game or even owning it. Even after spending about $150 AUD on the game there is little that is fun about it.
