We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 1, 2012.

This game has been reloaded: TAKEDOWN!

Update #19 · Mar 26, 2012 · 35 comments

Thanks to all the great feedback from you and the community, we have an all new site with concept art, a more detailed description to answer your questions, a new video (which you gotta check out, although be warned there is some harsh language), and more!  Please check it out and spread the word.  Thanks for your support, we have a few days left but there is still time to make it!

You can also watch the video on youtube:

      Like Jonathan Krarup I just pledged a dollar just because it's nice to see the new video and improved descriptions. Not my kind of game, but I hope you get to make it for the people who love it.

      We added a second version with the cursing bleeped. The final game may have cursing, but will have options to turn it off. As a former Marine, I curse in my everyday language, and since I went with the flow, the cursing was natural.

      If the final game would have swearing then you don't need to censor the promo because thats your audience. If, on the other hand, you will not have swearing in game then don't utter one syllable that could be perceived as such.

      You should be congratulated on producing such a fantastic video. Candor and straight talk works.

      Keep it honest. And keep it salty.

      If you bleeped over the f-bombs in the video I'd be happy to share it on Facebook. I'd also love my kids to see it (and they'd tell their friends about it), but my wife would be upset at the un-bleeped f-bombs so I can't.

      Wow, there is actually hope now. Yesterday when I looked it was 70000 something, now its in the 90's. Fucking awesome!!
      The reboot worked wonders apparently.

      Creator Jonathan Krarup on March 27, 2012

      Hi guys. I had looked at your kickstarter before and didn't really see anything that struck me as interesting. Your reboot REALLY helped there, so I'm dropping a dollar in the tin in support of your efforts and goal.
      The reason why it is no more than a dollar is simply that I dislike first person shooters personally - not my type of games at all. But if I *did* like playing them, this would definately be one I'd be interested in seeing.
      Keep up the good work, I hope you reach your goal :)

      There are very few moments in vidya that left me with such a feeling of accomplishment as co-op in the original ghost recon. I hope this ends up being made.

      Just pledged. I've been waiting years for a game like this. The original rainbow six games were some of my favorite shooters ever. Hell, one of only two games I think of at the moment that actually reloaded guns realistically which says a lot lol. Hope this one continues the tradition.

      Great logo choice. I figured it would be used as soon as I saw it on the forums. Lets make the game happen!

      Creator Jedra7609 on March 26, 2012

      Good luck with this. I'm a big Arma 2 fan and hope you can bring the realism and hardcore nature of that but with the CQB that Arma 2 lacks. I would love to add Takedown to my collection. I backed you and will keep my fingers crossed.

      Creator Jonathan Jones on March 26, 2012

      Love the brand redesign... what do I think will make this happen in six days? A slick video of a team stacking, breaching and then clearing, CQB-style. With appropriately loud weapon reports, as in the movie "Open Range"-- yes, that loud and realistic. Okay, so it might be flashy, showy and, dare I say, cinematic... but that would sell so well... Then again, what do I know? It's great to see the increased focus, and the passion... Let's hope the Internet can make it happen.
