I'm not super up on all the squad shooters. The closest that I've played like this is The Divison, but other people might have better answers. It's a squad of up to four running around a map clearing objectives and fighting AI enemies.

So many people are playing it because it's good, simple fast paced fun with thoughtful progression and no over the top microtransactions. The vibe is similar to Starship Troopers with a ton of epic heroism and cool mechanics.

I bought it and have zero regrets. They will be updating it for a long time it seems and I will be playing for a long time.
