Takedown: Red Sabre - Tactical FSP (PC, Xbox360)
-
19-09-2013 10:39am#1Iv been following this game for over a year. I missed out on the Kickstarter campaign but it was one of the early adopters of KS before it became so big. Really hoping this brings back some life to the old R6 / SWAT community as iv really missed the intensity these games can bring to online competitive clan matches.
Anyways copied the compiled post from their forum below with pretty much everything you need to know about it.
__________________________________________
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.
In recent years, shooters have become homogenized. There used to be a wide range of different games to choose, from run-and-gun action titles to slow-paced tactical shooters focusing on strategy and tactics, but now most shooters follow the same model of big set pieces, regenerating health, linear levels, and “cinematic experiences.” The realistic tactical shooters with in-depth planning have almost entirely disappeared in recent years.
This game focuses on realistic weapons modeling, squad based play, in a close-quarters battle setting. To succeed in this game you need to take things slow, study your environment, and execute flawlessly. If you get shot, there are consequences. You won’t be hiding behind a wall waiting for your health to regenerate. If a team member goes down, you will have to assess the situation and reallocate team members if necessary to complete the mission. Don’t expect all of the tools and plans to be forced fed to you – it is up to the player to ensure their team is equipped and ready for the tasks at hand. With features such as realistic bullet penetration, accuracy, and recoil, choosing the proper weapons, ammunition, armor, and gear for the mission is up to you, so choose carefully.
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 game for you.

PRE-ORDER BONUS
Pre-Order on Steam to receive an additional Killhouse Tango Hunt Co-op mode map at launch
LETHAL GAMEPLAY- No regenerating health, no health packs and no respawns in any game mode.
- One well placed shot is enough to kill
- Enemy A.I. are deadly, capable of coordinating attacks in groups and using flanking maneuvers
- Repercussions for getting shot in the arm are that your weapon accuracy will be negatively impacted. The penalty for a leg wound is that you will no longer be able to sprint.
NON-LINEAR ENVIRONMENTS- Maps are huge, open and very non-linear with multiple routes to any location.
- Choose from multiple insertion points at the beginning of each SP/Co-op game mode allowing for different tactical approaches.
- In Co-op, you have the option to split your team into 2 squads and have each squad start at a different insertion point which provides an added amount of depth to planning and executing a mission.
- Freedom to complete objectives in the "Mission" game mode in any order.
REALISTIC WEAPON HANDLING- Each weapon has realistic recoil and scope sway.
- Weapon reloads are handled realistically using your available magazines rather than a "pool" of your available individual bullets left.
- Close quarters weapon collision has been implemented. As you approach a wall your weapon will be forced down appropriately depending on it's length and your distance to the wall. This gives the advantage to smaller weapons like SMGs and Pistols in tight spaces compared to Sniper Rifles or larger Assault Rifles.
- Lean/Peek controls are available so you can peek around corners
- No 3rd person perspective "sticky" cover system
- No auto-aim
- Available weapons include 16 Primary (4 SMGs, 2 PDWs, 7 ARs, 2 Sniper Rifles, & 1 Shotgun), 4 Secondary (Pistols), 2 Grenade Types (Frag & Flash) and Breaching Charges for doors.
RANDOMIZATION / REPLAYABILITY- In SP/Co-op, each enemy's starting position, type of body armor and weapon is randomized at the beginning of the match.
- All enemies are present at the beginning of each match and do not appear out of thin air from triggered events or monster closets.
- In the SP/Co-op "Mission" game mode, most of the objectives are found in one of several random locations each time you play the game.
- In the SP/Co-op "Bomb Disarm" game mode, the placement of the bomb(s) that your team needs to locate and disarm is randomized to one of several locations each time you play.
BULLET PENETRATION SYSTEM- Each surface has a penetration value that takes into account it's material type and thickness allowing you to shoot through certain surfaces like thin walls, doors, and corners depending on which ammo type is used.
- The bullet penetration system also applies realistically to body armor where certain low caliber ammo types are less effective against medium or heavy protection.
- Each weapon has several ammo types available to choose from. Some examples of these include: Full Metal Jacket, Jacketed Hollow Point, Armor Piercing and Subsonic Rounds .
MINIMAL HUD- The HUD takes up a small amount of real estate on the screen and only includes a small icon that displays both your body's health state and whether you are standing/crouching, your ammo counter and the time remaining in the match.
- No "hit markers" or "kill notifications" are displayed
- No center dot/reticule, ensuring "hip-fire" cannot be extremely accurate at long distances
- The HUD does not display any objective markers at all, you will need to find them yourself
- No radar or mini-map
NO GRINDING FOR UNLOCKS NECESSARY- All weapons and attachments are unlocked and available for use in all game modes from the start.
- The game does not include unlockable weapons, attachments or upgrades of any kind to ensure a level playing field in Adversarial game modes.
- Adversarial game modes do not include any kind of artificial systems such as killstreaks, perks or field upgrades
MOD SUPPORT (STEAM ONLY)- Steam version will have an additional download that includes the KIllhouse Level & Modder's Pack tools
- All Killhouse Map objects are modular allowing you to snap them together to create you own custom Adversarial maps
- TAKEDOWN uses Unreal Engine 3 and UDK (Unreal Development Kit) is also supported
- Additional Mod tools & support will be available post-release (Steam Workshop support TBD)
SINGLEPLAYER / CO-OP
GENERAL INFO- Singleplayer can be played with up to 3 friendly A.I. squadmates. If you die, the game will allow you to use one of the living A.I. players.
- Singleplayer teammate A.I. can be given commands to "Hold or "Fall In/Regroup"
- In Singleplayer you can toggle Rules of Engagement to either "Aggressive" (A.I. will fire whenever they see an enemy) or "Defensive" (A.I. will only fire if enemy fires at them or the squad)
- Co-op can be played with up to 6 players. If you play with less than 6 players you cannot substitute A.I, squadmates in their place in any game modes.

Well as there has been a huge gap in this particular part of the FPS scene im really hoping this game does well. Been nothing but utter tripe in the terms of Tactical Hardcore FPS games since the original Rainbow 6 / SWAT games. Was just copying the compiled post from their forum
