Free Weekend April 6th - 10th + New Map!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Hot on the exhaust trail of our A9 release and the inevitable hotfix, we are very excited to make some announcements today about upcoming events in the Squad timeline.

In conjunction with pivoting our team into Alpha 10 release, we wanted to bring some more content to the player base and open up the game to a greater audience before the completion of our core feature set.

We are thrilled to announce that on Thursday, April 6th at approx 10 am PST we will be launching our second Squad free weekend. As a thank you to our player base we would like to offer you a redux of one of our favorite classic Project Reality maps (To be hot fixed in on Wednesday). Also, Squad will be on sale for 50% off for the duration of the free weekend!!! (April 6th 10 am PST to April 10th 10 am PST)

Al Basrah Free Weekend!

Huge shout out to the original creator Duckhunt from the Project Reality team and the Redux creator, our very own community modder ChanceBrahh.

This map gives Squad its first significant dive into urban combat with an expanded urban footprint and a wider surrounding play area. With buildings as large as six stories high and completely enterable we expect to give a hard shake to the US forces dominance meta as insurgents can be anywhere in the city. 100s of windows potentially bristling with RPG rounds ready to spoil the infidels’ day.

Without any further delay, we offer you this trailer to get you ready!








Squad Soundtrack Volume 2!
In response to the popularity of the original soundtrack, Scott Tobin has been hard at work and is happy to bring you volume 2 of his Squad soundtrack. Sometime next week we will offer volume 2 for free to anyone that already owns the original soundtrack, and we will be bundling the two soundtracks together for sale. As part of an enhanced audiophile experience, Scott has also added full fidelity FLAC versions to the packages for both soundtrack volumes.

You can preview the tracks here:


Please join us in welcoming all the new soldiers to the battlefield April 6th - 10th and helping our new wave of players not absorb too many bullets!

As always the best advocates of Squad are you guys, grunts and squad leaders alike!
 
Looks awesome, as long as we can get on top of some buildings rooftops, just like in PR, great battles on that map.

EDIT: Just seen other post, they are enterable great job, cant wait.

Do us Kickstarters who got the free OST get 2.0 for free too?

Also very excited for Al Basrah even if I still haven't had a chance to play the game properly!
 
Are there any plans to let people lock squads ? I know that goes against "teamwork" but sometimes myself and my friends who don't play that often would like to just go in our own squad and have one of us lead without us having to worry about bossing about random people who join our squad.

Being honest this is one of the reasons we dont play as much as we'd like. If the ability to lock squads was added I reckon we'd play more as we'd be able to chill and enjoy it more without the worry of having random squad members rely on us.

No set date but probably another couple of months as v10 is going to be a massive game change with lots of changes coming in !

Basrah?! Great move, probably my favourite map on PR! Needs grappling hooks though!!

Melbo. In your honest opinion what is the fps like on Al Basrah ?

I've not yet played it on a full server but from what I have played it should be fine.

CCFN will be using Al Basrah tonight so hopefully there will be room for me to jump in and I'll check the fps.

Looking forward to the free weekend, it's one of my most anticipated titles, just not jumping in at early access yet. I had a blast playing last November, though I did find the community a little impatient with all the new players, though in realistic mil-sim game I suppose it's to be expected
