Ground Branch kind of reminds me of Escape from Tarkov—another great game that features some pretty elaborate customization options. It’s so sad that others games in the shooter genre don’t offer such a wide array of options but I’m at least glad to see this implemented in at least a few modern games.

Ground Branch from one of the developers behind the original Rainbow Six® and Ghost Recon® games, comes a thinking-man's first-person shooter featuring in-depth character and weapon customization. Take your time. Think ahead. Get the job done, be glorious.

PREMISE
The game, a thinking-first-person man’s shooter game, play as Ground Branch, the elite paramilitary arm of the CIA’s Special Activities Center/Special Operations Group (SAC/SOG), and lead other special operations forces through challenging deniable ops all over the globe.

With deliberate, calculated and unforgiving gameplay, GROUND BRANCH is the true rebirth of the tactical realism genre of the late ’90s and early 2000s. Powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 4, GROUND BRANCH puts the “tactical” back in “tactical shooter”—no compromises.

Recently, the GROUND BRANCH dev team deployed Update v1033 which added support for latest NVIDIA technologies, including DLSS, DLAA, and Reflex. You can enable NVIDIA DLSS under the game’s video settings. While you can use the “Balanced” preset, you also have the option to set it to “Quality” or “Performance” depending on whether you value image quality or more frame rates.

If you want to improve the visual quality even further, you can enable DLAA, which is NVIDIA’s take on anti-aliasing. This technology provides sharper image quality than Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA).

It’s important to mention that the above technologies are only available to those who are using NVIDIA RTX 2000 series graphics cards or higher.

You can reduce input lag on GROUND BRANCH by enabling NVIDIA Reflex as well. Choosing the “On + Boost” option not only decreases input lag but increases your GPU’s clock speeds as well.

Time of DayAdditionally, Update v1033 features a new sky system with moon phases and stars. This system will affect the lighting conditions of a map depending on the date and location. This is useful because your opponents, including the AI, will have poor visibility at night when they do not have the appropriate gear.

The clouds and the weather had to be removed from this new sky system because they heavily impacted performance. But the developers will be revisiting these features later down the line.

  • The item selection menu now allows builds to be "stacked" (i.e. group all builds of a similar base item) to reduce clutter, and can also be set to only display custom (player-created) builds.
All in all, a great tactical shooter at an unbeatable bargain price, treat yourself.
