I don't see much talk about Ground Branch in this "SimHQ" forum. How come?...
Ground Branch is a tactical simulation game, even more tactical than some other games I see here hyped with flying colors.
Does it has to shine, blow smoke and whistle to attract pedestrians?

IIRC, the Kickstarter failed, but they said they would go on. Takedown's KS succeeded, but we got barely more out of that.

GB came out? I had no idea. I think many gave up after the rollercoaster ride with development over 10 years or so and far too-early hype. I'm glad to hear it if it finally came out. I know it was a dream long in the making.
edit: I don't see it on steam.

The project is not dead and there were some major content updates in the later half of 2016. Unfortunately, the developer's sister committed suicide recently leaving 4 or 5 kids behind. I presume this may change reality for the developer.
Putting that aside though, I agree with the general sentiment that development was extremely slow and what is currently in the alpha build is very lackluster and disappointing. So far, there is very little that is tactical or authentic about the game.

So in other words this is in roughly the same state as the contemporary Takedown that went nowhere fast?

It has so much potential! and it sucks so badly right now lol. It has zero potential and direction. It's been trampled under foot by AT LEAST three better games in the past ten years.

Which three games? Have there been three genuinely tactical CQB/small unit FPSes of distinction in the last ten years? Insurgency, I suppose...what else?

R6 Siege, only random missions, but the gameplay elements are there.
