Command Squad servers

4 community servers across 3 games, all run to the same standard: coordinated play, communication on comms, active administration, and a culture that treats new players as future regulars rather than obstacles.

Squad

Our foundation since day one: 98-player combined-arms warfare with squads that actually talk to each other. New players welcome, leadership supported, admins present. More about Squad here · Squad rules

WARDOGS

Two Command Squad servers on BULKHEAD's 100-player, three-team shooter — same admin standard, same teamplay expectations, from the first day of Early Access. More about WARDOGS here · WARDOGS rules

Live player counts and current maps appear when the status feed is reachable; joining instructions always work either way. We also run an event server used for community events and custom games — it's announced in Discord (external link) when active.

What to expect in a match

These hold on every server we run, whichever game it is:

  • Squads that talk. Leaders communicate with each other and with their squads. You'll hear a plan — and you're expected to listen for it.
  • Objective play. Taking and holding the objective wins games here. Lone-wolf killstreaks do not.
  • Room to learn. Say you're new and squadmates will help. Nobody expects perfection; everybody expects effort.
  • Rules that are enforced. Our rules aren't decoration. Admins act on intent and context, consistently, in every game.

How to join

Squad and Galactic Contention

  1. Use the one-click links on the Play site (external link), or
  2. Search Command Squad in the in-game server browser.

If the server browser won't cooperate, the server connection guide has a troubleshooting checklist.

WARDOGS

  1. Open WARDOGS and go to the community server browser.
  2. Search Command Squad and pick one of our two servers.

We're not publishing a one-click WARDOGS join link until we've verified one works on a real client — the WARDOGS joining guide has the full steps and launch-day troubleshooting.
