Squad's huge new 2.0 update has arrived

It seems like only yesterday that Squad was finally emerging from Early Access on Steam, and now the gigantic v2.0 update is here. The latest patch for Squad is a real doozy, and it includes the first phase of the map layer overhaul, new graphics settings and performance optimisation, a gorgeous new map, and lots more.

If you're only hearing about Squad for the first time now, it's a multiplayer FPS game that's focused on large-scale teamwork in a modern military setting. Squad, as the name suggests, has players fighting as members of a military unit in massive 100-player online battles using the latest in military hardware. Version 2.0 adds to the number of battlefields and armaments available, and it also boosts performance across the board. We'll hit on a couple of the highlights here, but you'll want to check out the full patch notes on the official website - they're so extensive that developer Offworld Industries says they went over Steam's character limit for update posts.

Right up top, we've got the new map, called Goose Bay. It's a map set on Canada's Labrador coast, featuring a massive satellite dish array and the extremely Canadian snowy beaches of the north Atlantic coastline.
