How does it compare to Ready or Not?

More military vs SWAT. Has PvE and PvP. No player ai yet for GB. GB has larger maps. GB has no progression but locks nothing. GB has insane weapon customization. Players who like tactical shooters will like both. Both games look great. The ground branch looks better in my opinion.

GB is a military sim. It has PVP & PVE, but AI is still extremely bad and there's only enemy AI.
Still GB has more in-depth gun mechanics and customization systems.

RON is an Law Enforcement Sim. It's PVE/COOP only, but there's also a single player campaign with friendly AI to command and a pretty good progression system with lots of maps and different objectives to complete. Also, AI is very good all around, specially compared to GB.

I'd recommend both, but if you want a more polished game, I'd go with RON.

RoN is currently a Tactical FPS - you have four AI officers to command - and is more "police-oriented", since you are in charge of a SWAT team and, among other targets, you need to save civilians and neutralize suspects - in some maps you need to "arrest", or at least incapacitate, one or more suspects, not killed - otherwise the objective will not achieved. Besided, RoN is a finished game with a campaign and an awesome friendly AI - the AI in general, both allied and enemy, is probably the best currently available in a videogame.
GB should become a Tactical FPS in the future, according to the developer - currently you can play co-op or solo since it lacks friendly AI - and your targets are more "military-oriented". As it stands it is in early access, so it is far from being a complete game like RoN is

"AI is very good all around" [streamable.com]
yeah right

Ground Branch is a modern Delta Force team game.

Ready or Not is about a Delta Force team disguised as a SWAT team (jk). I say this because they only send 5 guys against 20 and it usually turns into a blood bath

I would add, it’s not one or the other. Get both.

GB have best gunplay ever IMHO. RoN have terrible gunplay and controls. But RoN have best friendly bots ever. RoN its almost finished and polished product, GB on very early development stage.

The gunplay in GB is indeed light years ahead. Though I must say that the sound design in RoN is better with the guns. They've made sound adjustments in 1034, let's see how that pans out.

Oh.. quit it already... I didn't say it was perfect. But we're comparing it to the literal non-existent AI of GB. Suspects in RON take cover, hide, take hostages, fake deaths and have a plethora of nuanced reactions. At least they're trying something. Stop being so entitled.

Ready or Not is more of a lethal game than Ground Branch.

In RoN you get completely smoked with 10ms of seeing an enemy 100% of the time. In Ground Branch you at least have time to pid the target.

"Apples and oranges"

The vanity of minor differences. If you cannot compare two FPS mil sim you pretty much cannot compare anything ever.

They have that functionality sure but don't really do any of that, they just tap your head before even finishing their animations and always prefer to be bloodthirsty and suicidal instead of preserving their life, no matter what's the context of a mission.

It's been 2 YEARS since EA, game officially "released" and It feels more like handling terrorists or soldiers, not suspects and criminals.

uhh no. Friendly AI in SWAT 3 is many times better.
