  Apparently there is some association with some modders from Arma3, but that's a rumor.  So I bought blue shirts for the "squad" since I nearly shot some of them during a little close-range shoot-out at a barn.  I'll been in trouble if the enemy wears blue.

Here they are in their not-so-blue costumes in which I almost shot them:

Don't beat yourself up. Could have happened to anyone.

Not sure blue is the color you want to go with though...you know...its not likely to prevent the possibility of a blue-on-blue incident.   :DD

  I'm wearing black and so far the AI hasn't shot at anyone but the enemy.

The sequel to this title is out in early access. It's called Black One Blood Brothers.  :idiot2:

In any event, been playing around with it and it is pretty cool. Has a ton of customization features and has some really cool and unique features...like a K9! Who has ever seen that in a tactical game? it also has a pretty robust tactical planning and squad management system.

In any event, if you own Black Day, it's free and if not, its got a 15% launch discount making it just over $15.  Don't expect Ghost Recon Breakpoint levels of polish, but for a one man show...impressive for sure.

Created by a French Marine...that's pretty cool. What can the K9 do? Take downs? Bomb sniff? Looking at the Steam page now.

Well, the developer isn't a French marine, but there is a claim that the game was developed in "partnership" with a retired naval officer who served in the Commandos Marine. To me that sounds like there was a guy who gave some advice. I would take it with a grain of salt.

So far I've only used the K9 unit in the training scenario. You take control of him and get to attack a hostile with him. The dog's main use seems to be reconnaissance, but it does have offensive capabilities, as well. Arf. Arf.

HA 'there was a guy who gave some advice' hahaha ok, point taken.

Cool about the dog. Sorta like a more intelligent, fluffy drone. That can eat faces.

Exactly...and there is a drone too. You know, in case you're not into eating faces...or feces.

Bought it to try it out, but for the life of me can't figure out how to make controller work.  None of the settings have controller listed and doesn't seem to recognize it.  Not much in the Steam forums about it.  Probably me just missing something or doing something dumb.
