With authentic realism and gameplay based on intelligent strategy, fans of the first person shooter genre will once again experience a true tactical military experience that is hard to find in today’s gaming market. With all new content, never before seen screenshots and game footage, inside information and an extensive Questions & Answers section, BlackFoot Studios wants to bring Ground Branch back into the spotlight.

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.

I quite like the modern day shooters, but theirs hardly any that really gives that much realism. Its something I would defiantly be interested in purchasing if it makes it to a finished product that's not full of bugs and glitches and the price is right.

I sit at home playing GR & Heroes Unleashed Mod....since 2001, I've been looking for a game that combines, GR and R6.

MOH SP was the last game that i rode like rollercoaster, mainly due to the books that supports the storylines.
Game wise, it doesn't reflect the Tactical Gaming that GR & R6 provided.

Since 2001, no FPS game has ever got closed.

Now that there is an alternative studio with a track record/history/true background from both games, its not a hard decision to back this studio up.

And the studio is already built....past tense. No need to do a fund raising on that issue.
As a matter of fact, there is a pre-alpha as seen on the video.

If you look at yourself in the mirror and call yourself a Tactical Gamer or tell your co-workers or friends you are, then THIS game is YOU.

This IS you.

This game was built around YOU.
This game was not designed and built at some foreign country where you come log-on the internet so you can come to THEM.


It was built, for you to use your mind and not hop on a Roller Coaster.
Atari made a game called Roller Coaster Tycoon... if that is how you like your game.

It was designed because you game using TACTICS. STRATEGY. LOGISTICS.

This game was built (past tense) by a developer who help designed the two games you LOOOOOVE.

He spent HIS OWN MONEY in a very tight economy so you have an alternative to FPS roller coaster gaming.

Now he is asking YOU to HELP, release this game.
Now he is asking YOU to SUPPORT and spread the word out, that TACTICAL GAMING is BACK in the FPS genre
Now he is asking YOU, the FPS TACTICAL Community, to step up and be heard. Be heard that YOU, the THINKING-MAN FPS, the TACTICAL gamer is DONE giving away $60 to a Roller Coaster Michael Bay arcade game.

Now he is asking YOU, to stop working DOUBLE SHIFTS so you can throw your HARD EARNED $60 game that will CON you to spending ANOTHER $10 ADDITIONAL CONTENTS, that may or may not be already in the DISC!

Why?

Because Ground Branch will now be in the hands of a MODDING COMMUNITY!

When was the last time COD allowed YOU the PAID (past tense) customer to mod YOUR GAME?

Now is the time to be heard from the BIG COMPANIES, we are DONE working DOUBLE SHIFTS just to give them $60.

SUPPORT
SPREAD THE WORD

get your Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six ...BACK!!!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT WORK FOR BLACKFOOT STUDIO LLC
but in behalf of John Sonedecker of Blackfoot Studio LLC, I'd like to share this Update from his Indie Game: Ground Branch

Thx

Ground Branch has a DRM-Free version, and supports Offline play!

Some of our community has expressed interest in being able to play the game, independent of Steam. We are pleased to announce that, every backer of Ground Branch, will now have the choice!

We will be providing two executables:

1. A Steam Release (which uses Steamworks for online features such as matchmaking, VOIP and Mod Distribution through the SteamWorkshop) and...

2. A DRM-Free version of the game, which can be played without an internet connection, and used for gamers with LAN-only setups or that want to play the solo portions of Ground Branch without connecting to the internet.

Both versions are free of install limits, and we are not using services like SecuROM. The Steam version can be used for offline LAN as well, but must use Valve's "Offline Mode" if you plan to be without a connection. Either way, all current and future backers have access to both, in the event that they need to be away from the internet! This is great news, if you're deployed, or just want to more easily host a LAN party and play our game!

Gamespy is no longer being considered.
