DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU DON'T USE A MIC

Ground Branch is basically an ultra-tactical SWAT 4 brought up to modern specs. Everything can be customized. Settings are very in-depth, so if you like to have a certain setup with keybinds, the game easily accommodates to that playstyle. For instance, I like to have Local VOIP set to M4 and Fire Selector set to M5. Standard, right? But I found that the light on the red dots was too bright. Over time found where I like to keep it generally, and in the settings set that to the default brightness. That was very handy.

Moreover on the gameplay side of things; there is no HUD outside of a UI for what gear you're selecting. If you aren't using a mic, there is a very good chance you will inevitably get fragged by a fellow team mate. You NEED to communicate in this game. If you think you can casually stroll around and shoot AI like it's Ins:Sandstorm; you're gonna have a bad time.

Overall: After a few hours in this, I really like the game. There is a decently sized community and the game is only going to get bigger once some popular youtuber does a letsplay. Worth the buy, so long as you can get some team mates who know how to communicate effectively.
