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

WE ARE ADDING SP/CO-OP FREE TO BACKERS

Update #12 · Jun 26, 2012 · 24 comments

We have heard the message loud and clear and are happy to announce that we are going to offer ALL of our Kickstarter backers that pledged from the minimum $15 reward up,  the Singleplayer/Co-Op portion (with advanced AI) of GROUND BRANCH for FREE. Every copy of the game gets this; So for example, if you get a FIRETEAM EDITION then all 4 copies will be eligible for the additional release. 

This will be available some time after the initial release that will include full multiplayer (objective-based TvT, PvP) and core single player/co-operation gameplay (e.g. terrorist hunt against bots) from the start. 

Let the world know so that we can all enjoy GROUND BRANCH!

      Just pledged... OSGR was my first true online FPS game... and one of my all time fav's. I sincerely hope you can raise enough to get this project off the ground!

      What happens if the goal isn't met? Will there be another Kickstarter? Will there be another way for us to support you guys?

      The game will be completely mod able, some guys are looking at UR editor at the moment go have a look on the forums in Ground Branch mod section.

      The tools for doing the modding will come with the game and BFS will give you all the help you could ever need.

      @Rolland Grayhek and the weapons should be very diverse yet somehow very balanced! :)

      Well single player is good only if it has plenty of gaming hours with replay ability. coop is good with friends same as playing lan play. Coop and MP needs plenty of content, maps and open world sandbox,weapons etc to keep it interesting which is the failure with most publishers these days.
