No, just thought I would keep the community informed Get the ball rolling so people actually know what the hell Squad is when it comes out

It's looking bloody good already.

oh coolio, keep us updated.

The one thing I'm looking forward to the most is flying aircraft without lagging straight into the ground.

I really hope they add aircraft and have as many vehicles as PR does.

I see our Chuc is still doing great work

Thx for that excellent reloading animation and movement, Chuc!

Still a long run for the game prior to release.

website is up
