Offworld Industries Invites You to Experience 3v3 Squad Demo at PAX Prime

Squad, the large scale tactical shooter born from Project Reality, is coming along incredibly well. Offworld Industries will soon be ready to reveal the features of September's Closed Alpha and to lift the curtain on the official demo at PAX Prime, held at the Washington State Convention Center from Friday, August 28 through Monday, August 31. At the event, friends or strangers can band together and take part in a 3v3 demo of the realistic FPS, available at the Offworld Industries booth (#6902).

For those unaware, Squad began as a Battlefield 2 mod titled Project Reality, which earned the most recognition and awards in the Battlefield franchise. Built from scratch with the Unreal Engine 4, Squad surpassed expectations on both Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter, highlighting a focus on tactics, realism, and cooperation within a 100-man battleground. Here are just some of the features that Squad boasts:

• Faster and more fluid gameplay than ARMA, but slower and more engaging than Battlefield.
• A focus on teamwork, which doesn't require a clan or private server.
• Built in Voice Over IP using the best codecs available, with attenuated localized, intra-squad radio, and inter-squad command radio communications.
• Unlike any other military FPS, Squad showcases Deployables and Base Building.
• The creation, defense, destruction, and resupply of chained spawn positions in an overlapping and always fluid emergent chessboard designed in our maps.
• Large scale maps up to 8km^2 (though currently using 2km and 4km maps).
• High quality models and complex ammunition systems.
• A very open development team with excellent community communication, and preparations in progress for mod support near retail release. (Editor's note: Modception! Sort of!)
• This game features "everything." You want Infantry? You got it. Logistics? Expect it. Air combat? Better buckle up. Close Air Support? Ayup. Armor Warfare? Of course!

Squad, currently in Closed Pre-Alpha, will be entering Closed Alpha in late September, though a full release is expected in late 2015. You can still purchase the Squad Leader Tier packages, which provides access to the Closed Alpha, at the purchase page.
