Looks like this is going to be an amazing weekend for people in the market for a tactical first person shooter. First, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege got a free weekend and a nice 50% off sale, and now, Offworld Industries‘ Squad is also on sale and gamers interested in checking out the title before purchasing it can do that as well, since the developers are hosting a free weekend until November 13.

Squad is a 50 vs 50 multiplayer first-person shooter that aims to capture combat realism through communication and teamplay, emphasizing both strong squad cohesion mechanics as well as larger scale coordination, tactics and planning. It features large open maps, vehicle-based combined arms gameplay, and player-constructed bases to create a heart-thumping, visceral gaming experience which mixes organized tactical multi-squad planning with split second decision-making in real-world scale firefights.
The current 50% off sale lasts until November 14th, and it brings the price down to US$ 19.99. The free weekend client is the same as the full game (a 6.8gb download which will unpack to 16gb once the game is installed) and it can be used to keep playing without interruptions if the user decides to buy Squad after the free weekend is over.
