TAKEDOWN a thinking-person’s shooter

[Blunks]

A Kickstarter project has been setup to develop a real tactical shooter.

Time is running out fast and they really need help to meet their target goal!

TAKEDOWN is a thinking-person’s shooter. The player that takes things slow, aims carefully, and plans their moves right will overcome the player who runs in with guns blazing. Close-quarters battle brings the fight inside, as you would see SWAT teams or SOF units taking down small numbers of dangerous adversaries. Non-linear environments allow for multiple routes and tactics and add replayability. The operation to clear pirates from a hijacked oil tanker by Russian special forces in May of 2010 is a perfect example of the types of missions in TAKEDOWN.

You will plan your insertions and routes before going into the scenario, outfitting your teammates with weapons and equipment of your choosing, and then execute the mission. If one of your team members is killed, they are gone, and you have lost their valuable experience, so you have to be careful! Gameplay modes include single player, co-op, and competitive multiplayer.

If you are a fan of old school shooters where thinking meant more than running and gunning or perks, or if you are just looking for something different in your shooter games experience, this is the project for you.

Check out their Kickstarter page for more information and to back it.

The project has been funded.

With just a few hours to spare the project was tweeted and backed by a few huge names, including Notch and Robert Bowling

I thought the FpsAdmin community would have more to say on this subject.

I am glad you posted this news. I found it very interesting and posted on my clan website. Few of the members helped back the project. We will be watching the development on this one. Hope they deliver.
