Crowdsourced Hardcore Tactical Shooter

[Flogger23m]

I was about to post this here. Bump. Surely there are plenty of ArmA fans who would like this game to enter development and get released.

I already made a contribution to the independent game development industry - just today, as a matter of fact - when I bought Project Zomboid

Looks like the indie industry isn't stammering, and in fact, looks to be very well off, but I'll pass.

Aside from ArmA, what other developer has shown an interest in creating a tactical shooter? Probably not an opportunity to pass up.

These guys.

Theres also a mod for Crysis Warhead http://www.casusbelli-mod.com

There are a few others I've lost track of.. It's not that they aren't there, they just lack exposure.

Heroes and Generals is not supposed to be realistic or tactical, it will be a BF style game with an RTS element.

The mod for Crysis claims it will be "Half-way between Battlefield and modern Warfare 2" with no mention of any tactical or realistic features being added in. I think we can cross that off the list as well. Perhaps when RO2 gets the "RO Classic" mod there that might be enough to put it in a realistic/tactical shooter category, but for now, the newest tactical shooter I can think of outside of ArmA is GRAW 1/2. And even those were on the lighter side.

I hope BIS consider developing a hardcore CQB tactical shooter.

there is so much to crowd-fund for future ARMAs

in fact i have problem to decide which one i shall pick as first

Can we start with the physcics first for the Community Alpha? I want to blow up satchels and watch ragdolls fly everywhere!!! Or freefall into a stack of crates and see what happens...O.O

Cool, I hope he gets his funding, there's not enough tactical shooters out there. None that do CQB well.

As for me, I'm not going to get a creditcard just for this. especially because it's still very vague.

Holy Crap. I just looked at that link and there is NO WAY that man is going to get his funding goal by that deadline...and it looked so fucking awesome too. My inner gamer has just died a thousand times over now I'm just so disappointed, and the worst of it is I'm not even surprised. God damn.

Sadly, tactical shooters are just not that popular. Though I think any decent tactical shooter will sell well (though not CoD numbers) because there is really no other game aside from ArmA.

Spread the word and send the links to others you know who play tactical shooters or even PC based games.

what looked so fucking awesome? The text? Did i miss some pics/vids from a WIP proof of concept? Or do you mean the video that ends with the kid holding the toy gun, which was completely unrelated...

someone actually went for the 2500$, and a couple more for the 1000$....

[That guy]

kind of a vicious cycle.

"we need money to so we can make something to show you guys"

"we need to see some concept or progress before we feel comfortable that this just wont turn int vaporware"

"but we need money to start..."

"lets see some progress..."

etc


in this case i am going to put my faith into the dev team. they need this money not only for development, but to show more potential investors that there is enough demand for this kind of game so it will get made. if everyone simply holds back and waits for some one else or some sort of progress, its essentially dooming the project to failure or vaporware. a self-fulfilling prophecy. of course i just really really want to see a good R6 rouge spear/raven shield style Tacshooter like the old days.
