So, it's effectively Holdfast, but set in the American Civil War and made by the guys that were kicked off the Holdfast team? And no, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, just want to get some reference.

Hi. Made an account just to reply to this. Bcof is a bit more complex mechanically than holdfast is. Proper shooting ballistics, a way greater variety of weapons, and much more advanced AI to name a few things.

They were not kicked off the Holdfast team though. Rather it's a pretty tragic tale of the end of a friendship. Olaf and Refleax used to be great friends. While Olaf was working on Holdfast with AGS, he was also working on bcof and even sold bcof assets to AGS for use in Holdfast. However, Refleax refused to pay Olaf for the assets which led to the fight and ultimate departure of Olaf from AGS. In doing this, Refleax stole the steam groups for FSE and threatened to sue over a whole bunch of things. In the end, I know FSE got their steam groups back but I'm not sure if payment was ever sent for the purchased assets. Overall it was a bad split of friends over money in the end.

Change name of the game. It's stupid and easy to forget.
Need something more catchy!
