Mission Statement
Squad 9 is an elite community of PC gamers that was founded in 2003 on Halo: Combat Evolved. We focus on team tactics, skill training, and playing to win on current FPS titles. Our members play both casually and competitively and our mission is to give members the opportunity to achieve more by committing themselves to the team and sharing in its accomplishments. We work together, we play together, and we win together.
We have a vision of becoming a premier community and tier-1 gaming organization that is reputable and comprised of players who want to re-experience the golden age of gaming as part of a unit that operates more as a team instead of a clan. The term "clan" no longer holds the same prestige it once did. The norms of contemporary clans are something ~S9~ has no interest in emulating and we strive to stand apart and rise above.
We're strongly committed to our goals and our members. Our highest aim is to set a new standard for what gamers can achieve. We welcome anyone who supports our mission and shares our commitment to be more and do more.
