[jsonedecker]

Thank you... much appreciated.

Sorry for the inconvenience. It is possible that this thread was closed when I was merging all of the various Ground Branch threads together. Carry on

Thanks for reopening it.

If this gets the funding it needs, Takedown turns out well, we will have the major areas covered.

Small indoor CQC - Takedown
Outdoors and CQC - Ground Branch
Large, battlefield environments - ArmA 3

We have been sorely missing two of the three for many years.

If you have any interest in realistic tactical shooters do drop a pledge or two. Aside from ArmA and Takedown (still has very far to go) there is nothing else in store for the genre.

I think a game like Ground Branch could be a stepping stone for new players to the ArmA-verse. I know a lot of people when they hear "realism" they probably don't think it will be fun, but they may be more inclined to give a game like GB a try before a multi-faceted game like ArmA. Then when they realize "realism" can be fun, they might want to open up their mindset to more "realism" based games, i.e. ArmA. Just my $.02.

The more tactical games on the market the better. Relive the glory days of Rainbow Six (except the dial up modems) and play something actually enjoyable.

I would expect this as well. I believe a game like Rainbow 6 (the old ones), while still complex are a bit easier to jump into than ArmA. Get more people playing Ground Branch and they might eventually come over to ArmA.

Likewise, many will start with IL-2 before moving onto complex aircraft like DCS A-10C.

And lets keep spreading the word. We always hear about how we want more tactical shooters yet the Kickstarter turnout so far isn't that good. I realize many people, no matter how much they like tactical shooters are not interested in donating up front, but surely there has to be more than a mere 350 or so.

Listen and learn kids. This is what you get when you repost something you've written on another forum, to this forum without thinking.

Note that I am in no way affiliated with BFS. Suffice it to say that I think Ground Branch looks to be very neat.

It happens. Nothing personal.

I'm also excited about the project.

Now stop discussing the forum moderation in public!

I really hope Ground Branch gets the funding it deserves! For the last years ArmA(2) was the only game I played but with Ground Branch I hope to see a new game that gives me more of a INFiltration (anyone remembers? ) feeling. So spread the word!!!
