Greetings everyone, and welcome to Falcon Squad (soon to be subtitled)… a little project I've been working on for about a month now.

Falcon Squad is a top down shooter which, when finished, will hopefully include a pretty fulfilling, story-driven campaign mode, a training area, and statistics tracking via Reflect. Right now though, it's only got multiplayer modes, which I am very happy with so far.

Screenshots

...and one last screenshot link! [:P]

Though it isn't without it's occasional problems, I'd really like to see what everyone thinks of this at this point… so please check it out, play some people online (you'll need a Reflect Account), and let me know!

Note - If you want to host a game, you'll have to make sure your router is set up correctly - this may mean that you have to forward TCP port 27782 to your computer! See http://www.portforward.com for more details on how to do this!
