This morning, Kaos had the honor and privilege of welcoming a few members of our armed services to the studio to check out Frontlines, discuss future projects, and give Kaos a glimpse of what life on the real frontlines is like. With two of the armed service members returning from assignment abroad, we had a great opportunity to discuss what equipment is being used in the field, how squads are deployed and roles managed, and which new tech deployments are the most highly anticipated from the brave men and women serving abroad. The officers also got a chance to play some of our new DLC maps for Frontlines, and they’ll be back in the near future to consult on team tactics and strategies for future Kaos products. Our hats go off to them for all the great work they’re doing for us, and we look forward to having them back soon.

Taking a break from shooting each other during our daily multiplayer tests, the Kaos team ventured into lovely Albrightsville, Pennsylvania to shoot each other with paintball guns! The team split up into two small militias, and naturally organized themselves into squads featuring commanders, squad leaders and point men. While we didn’t have paintball drones, we did manage to play quite a few spirited games of team slayer, capture the flag, and a final anarchical round of anything-goes-mayhem.

Afterwards it was off to Barley Creek Brewery, for an evening of licking our wounds and comparing epic war stories over some deeeeelicious BBQ and an equally epic amount of beer. Check out the pictorial for some classics, including battling on a massive 3-story castle, programmer Jon Uy taking one in the kisser and senior artist John Gaertner going all Rambo on everyone.
