Ground Branch, a tactical milsim FPS developed by veterans of the original Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six franchises, continues to evolve with a substantial update that brings key improvements and additions to its gameplay. First launched in early access in 2018, Ground Branch aims to provide a realistic shooting experience, grounded by the strategic elements that define tactical first-person shooters.
Gameplay enhancements in Ground Branch
Advancements in Cooperative Play
Perhaps the most notable enhancement is the introduction of AI squadmates that players can now command. This feature enhances cooperative missions, which involve tackling multiple objectives, enabling players to strategize and maneuver through complex scenarios with AI support tailored to their tactics. The ability to direct AI teammates adds a new layer of depth, potentially transforming the dynamic of co-op missions.
Improved Gameplay Mechanics
Alongside advancements in AI interactions, the update introduces new gameplay mechanics that promise to refine the player experience. One such improvement is the ability to check ammunition levels with greater precision, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the tactical edge during operations. This subtle but significant change allows players to manage their resources more effectively, reinforcing the importance of planning and precision gameplay.
The Introduction of the Ranch Map
Expanding the game's immersive environments, a new map named 'Ranch' has been added to the co-op mode. This setting offers new challenges and opportunities for strategic maneuvers, inviting players to explore and exploit its unique layout to their advantage. The introduction of the Ranch map highlights the developers' commitment to adding diverse content that keeps veteran players engaged while attracting newcomers to Ground Branch.
