GROUND BRANCH Server Hosting, Explained

What is GROUND BRANCH?

New to GROUND BRANCH?

What is GROUND BRANCH?

GROUND BRANCH is a tactical first-person shooter from one of the developers behind the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games. You play the CIA's paramilitary arm on deniable operations around the globe. Combat is slow, careful and unforgiving: build your own loadout down to each pouch and attachment, plan your approach in the Ready Room with your team, and clear the map without a mistake.

Co-op Against AI.

Terrorist Hunt and Extraction pit your squad against AI enemies.

Team PvP.

Modes like Uplink put two teams against each other, attacking and defending.

Always Online.

Your server stays up when you log off, so your team can play any time.

Full Control.

Set your name, password and rules, and run the server from the in-game admin menu.
