For over a decade, Squad 426 wasn't just a name in Battlefield 2 – it was a thriving community, a creative powerhouse, and a chosen family. Founded in Southern California by Steven Seagondollar alongside his cousins Robert Medeiros and Jared Costa, 426 evolved from elite gaming origins into the dynamic 426 Productions. We became known in the High Desert and beyond at a young age for our high-quality video content (VLOGs, gaming montages, airsoft films), our competitive gaming/airsoft teams, and our unique, substance-free culture built on quality friendships, mutual support, and shared passions. Led by 7 hounding members called the "Hierarchy" and growing to over 55 active members in 2015, Squad 426 was an incubator for young friendships, networking, and skill development, while being a catalyst for lifelong bonds.
The club was a testament to the explosion of the internet of things and social networking could achieve, this is what new technologies being scaled achieved with the first generation that grew up with it. This archive celebrates it.
