I've played Squad only a few times, but I do love it already, specially for an Alpha-state game.

I prefer realism over almost anything else, and Squad provides a pretty good feeling yet having simple controls, unlike ArmA 3. Squad developers got rid of unnecessary (rarely used) firing stances and controls to provide a better/faster pace, which's the core of a FPS game. Despite having vehicles, the matches are not overflown by MBTs and aircrafts destroying every infantry around. And that's what I like the most! Vehicles: yes, they're there, but they're simple and just PART of the game, which's infantry-based! :)
The atmosphere is amazing when you're playing with a good squad. Some people say you'll seldom find mature squads, but most of my playing time was with well-oriented players who became good Steam friends of mine.

I waited for the free weekend to check if my PC* could run it properly, as it's old and I have an AMD platform.
My first time playing sucked, with as low as 27 fps on minimum settings (@ 1366x768), but day #2 was amazing. So I believe it was either a server issue or due to the update which happened on November 12th, for I've been able to play smooth at 47 fps on some servers. Some days ago I played at 27 fps and it ran really fine; go figure...

So, yea... I do recommend it and I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it for a long time.

*For the record, my PC is an old AMD X6 1100t + GTX 560 Ti + 8 GB 1333 MHz.
