Thank you for your understanding and happy holidays!

Team Special Forces is proud to announce the newest game to be added as a division: MechWarrior Online. The team has been involved in MWO for over nine months during the game's early testing phases. Our developmental effort was led by Ski_Dog, who is now taking the position of Commanding Officer of the MechWarrior Division.

We have been accepting new members for MWO for months now and continue to do so. Any interest players are welcomed to apply, or just drop by our TeamSpeak server and make some new friends in the MWO channels.

Team Special Forces is proud to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary. What began in the tank combat game of Tanarus in December 1997 has continued without interruption to this day. Over the years, we have branched out into other games, seen lots of members come and go, and had many great games together.

Ultimately we are thankful for the dedicated volunteers who have provided leadership and stability to weather the storms that the community has faced over the years, and for each and every member past and present who has helped to enliven and advance the team through their own individual contributions. With thousands of alumni, there are simply too many people to mention adequately here.

We continue to be an open and welcoming community for all gamers. Please consider visiting us on our public TeamSpeak server and help to keep the bonds of the greater gaming community strong.

FTO!

Team Special Forces graciously invites the public to join with our community to celebrate the observance day of our team's fifteenth anniversary on Saturday, December 1. There will be a variety of different gaming and community events taking place on our public TeamSpeak server throughout the afternoon and evening. All are welcomed to join us for this special event. Please visit our TeamSpeak access page for simple and quick guest access to our TeamSpeak server.

Thank you!

Team Special Forces is proud to announce the formation of its newest permanent division, for the forthcoming air combat game World of Warplanes. The team previously supported the game under the umbrella of its well-established World of Tanks Division, and the move to establish a dedicated division for the game will allow for expansion and improved organization. Players may be members of one or both of the divisions if they desire. The new division will be led by commanding officer DarkmanX, who moves up from being the Executive Officer of the World of Tanks Division in charge of the airplanes component, which is now moving to the new division.

The team has been accepting applications for World of Warplanes players since June and continues to welcome both closed and open beta testers to join us. We hope to see you in the skies!
