Ground Branch - Old school/Squad based tactical shooter by BlackFoot Studios
Some of you might have heard of Ground Branch because this game was announced a few years back by BlackFoot Studios. BFS is a gaming studio founded by John Sonedecker, who also worked on the original Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear and Ghost Recon and all expansions during his time at Red Storm Entertainment. Development has been steady but slow up till now, as far as I know mostly because of funding issues (no publishers are interested in niche genre game).
It's a very promising tactical shooter and yesterday they released an official Ground Branch website and announced that they will do a Kickstarter campaign soon! They also released a Kickstarter Teaser video to give us a glimpse of their current pre-alpha built.
Really, check out their website which has lots of info, features list, Q&A section, screenshots, theme music etc. Well worth the read.We are heading into the next phase of Ground Branch’s development and ready to go full steam into production. Soon we will be launching a Kickstarter campaign to support that effort and will need all of your support to make sure it is a success. We have all been waiting a long time for this chance, so let’s make it happen! To thank you all for your continued support we are releasing a Kickstarter Teaser video below.
Watch the Kickstarter Teaser below (PRE-ALPHA footage eh)

Can't seem to find an edit post button (so sorry for "double" posting), but I forgot to post some screenshots as well. Here they are, and there are more available on their website.

Re: Ground Branch - Old school/Squad based tactical shooter by BlackFoot Studios
Great news! I thought Ground Branch had died off some time ago, but now they've back in business. If they can get the necessary funding from Kickstarter it's going to be a great time to be an old school tactical realism fan again with this and Project Takedown on the way.

That's going to be a hard sell in an already saturated shooter market. IMO.

The tactical shooter market is anything but saturated actually!

It's not just a run of the mill general shooter, which is indeed a saturated market.

I tried clicking on "Contact us" to submit news to TG's site admins, but couldn't get through. This project needs a lot more publicity if it's gonna hit its goal by the 7th of July.

Maybe it's possible to directly mail them to an e-mail address? Don't have time to check it atm, but would be nice if TG made a front page news item about Ground Branch Originally Posted by xyrtrax
