you get a squad of like 7 characters to begin with
its was in a chinese/japanese language
game had 4 cds, you had to download and change disk with all 4 cds in order to download the game
one of the character has a gun for a arm, not barret(final fantasy)
something along the lines of you have been sent down to a lab
there is puzzles that you have to solve but not much

About what year did you play the game?

With a computer, do you mean on a Windows PC or some more exoctic Japanese computer like PC-88/98 or similar?

A bit later, in 2008: Nathan "Rad" Spencer in Bionic Commando: Rearmed
(side view, so maybe not right; probably not a squad either)

There are of course other games in the series: Bionic Commando series

There is also a Starcraft II character with a gun-prostetic arm, Horace Warfield, but I don't know if the sci-fi setting fits.
Maybe one of the X-com games have such a character too, I have not played all of them.

Another game I found is World War Alpha from 2006; unsure about the missions or gameplay, but it is available from the developers homepage if you want to check it out. I think this was just a download game, not on CD:s.

Maybe your game had another graphics style, more Anime?

its more anime
game setting is quite grim
wat i mean by squad is that you move around 1 character, but when you get in combat you fight with your squad.
at the start of the game. idk if i remember correctly, you arrive via a jeep and you will have lots of dialog between the characters. then you will proceed into a laboratory and fight off things alien like enemies. sometimes you gotta solve a light puzzle in order to progress the game. the enemies look like experimental failures or something.
