With so many being disillusioned with big publishers dropping the ball with the tactical realism genre, for so long (and AAA games in general); specifically and literally disenfranchised with Ubisoft's running the Ghost Recon franchise into the ground -- and GRN still being a locus for what these games had -- what kind of funding do those still here think GRN could generate with a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign? When I think back to some of the amazing Ghost Recon Arma mod trailers Wombat made, the high rez texture mods by Zeealex and others, Apex Mods amazing Heroes Unleashed swan's song to Ghost Recon -- the sheer weight of all the work, time, and talent that has been poured into GRN, chokes me up... And it all still here, decades running, given away for free -- and like the site that hosts it a conspicuous labor of love. Surely others see this and feel the same -- overwhelmed by the generosity, enthusiasm, and hard work... So, what if there was some kind of long term build-up to a focused goal of funding the development of a commercial game, then hiring the people to do it, making GRN a hub for marketing and Fan based intermediary for such a project, it might, at some point, get legs. What I'm suggesting is creating a sort of fictional sub-thread for 'The Ghost Of Ghost Recon', where anyone could throw in with what kind of game this could and should be, how to approach it, from 'pet wish fantasy' to practical results oriented nuts and bolts, here's what would be needed to get this off the ground in terms of time, talent, and financial resources, where to go -- a sort of fan based map that may remain just a Ghost, but -- perhaps a lot of fun 'what if'... I'm know I'm just being maudlin and nostalgic, there's lots of cool games in the wild, and Apex Mods Heroes Unleashed will keep me busy for...probably another decade, with ideas for experimenting with my own hack and tweak mod from my read of the original Ghost Recon game design slightly updated... But what if? And where is that Apex Mods, I miss that guy!

Kind of an update here in regards to the game. John has been working on the store page, He said "it's still a few days away" then the "Tech Preview" will be available for public download in the Store page. He also said "Something is going to have to seriously go wrong for it not to be available by May 1st". Do note though the "Tech Preview" is just what it says it is. Many features will be missing in the tech build and does not resemble the final product at all. There is still a lot more work and stuff that needs to be added. The Tech Preview will just give the developers an idea on how the game engine runs on other PC systems. They will also finally have a way for you to support development of the game! How Can I Support Development Of This Game? See Website For Details: http://www.groundbranch.com All I have to say is "HA!" to all the people that said this game was vaporware and not going to get anywhere! All Images & Videos are a Work In Progress. As mentioned before a lot of features are missing.
