Method of Entry is a slow-paced 5v5 tactical shooter built on the foundational principles of classic titles in the genre. We're committed to delivering an authentic infantry-focused experience where raw skill dictates success and every shot truly counts. Blending realistic mechanics with tense, calculated, competitive game play.  It's the true tactical shooter experience, reborn.

At the heart of Method of Entry is the C.F.R.F. (Competitive First, Realism Follows) philosophy. This guiding principle ensures that every game mechanic and design decision prioritizes competitive integrity while incorporating realism in a way that enhances, rather than hinders, gameplay. This approach sets Method of Entry apart, whilst drawing inspiration from classic titles like the original SWAT and Rainbow Six series, Counter-Strike, and modern hits such as Escape from Tarkov and R6 Siege, establishing a unique blend.

Method of Entry blends core mechanics with immersive realism, crafted for dedicated players seeking a compelling combat environment. Our goal is to set a new standard in competitive shooters, balancing precision, strategy, and authenticity. We ditch flashy hero abilities, arcade-like killstreaks, and unrealistic environments for a grounded, tactical approach where precision and strategy truly matter.

As a team of lifelong gamers who love this genre, we're dedicated to the small things that improve your experience and make you want to play again and again. Our commitment includes realistic movement and features, meticulously crafted alongside carefully made animations true to real-world situations and custom-built environments. These are all designed for truly unique tactical challenges across every map, ensuring a deeply competitive experience.

Community is at the core of Method of Entry. While our vision guides development, we believe Method of Entry truly belongs to you, the players. Our entire dev team consists of gamers first, just like you, and every decision is shaped by that shared experience. We're committed to actively seeking and using your feedback. Find us directly on our Discord – your voice will always be heard and valued as Method of Entry evolves.

Your trust is key. Once you own Method of Entry, you unlock the entire core experience upfront. This means all maps, weapons, and game modes are included, with no additional costs ever needed to access fundamental gameplay. While we may look to monetize through purely cosmetic items like skins, weapon camos, and unique player customization options to support development, you'll have full access to all core gameplay content. No exceptions.

'Lights Out'

Method of Entry introduces 'Lights Out,' a unique death mechanic found exclusively in our game, designed to enhance realism and competitive play.

When your operator takes a fatal hit anywhere but the head, you'll experience a standard death animation, with your vision and some sound lingering for a few seconds before fading, offering limited information to your team.

However, a fatal headshot triggers 'Lights Out': an instant black screen with no sound or no vision. This abrupt disorienting effect not only adds to the realism of taking a fatal hit but also removes your ability to communicate effectively, denying crucial intelligence about the enemy team. It's a key tactical advantage that incentivizes precision and drastically changes the round's dynamic.

5v5 Bomb Defusal

Engage in our core 5v5 Bomb Defusal mode, where strategy begins before the first shot. Defenders strategically choose their bomb site, forcing attackers to adapt and select their entry points accordingly. Attackers secure victory by eliminating the defending team or successfully defusing the bomb within the round's time limit. Defenders win by neutralizing all attackers or by successfully protecting their chosen bomb site until time expires. Success hinges on precise execution, intelligent utility use, and seamless team communication, creating diverse tactical engagements across every intricately designed map.

Specialized Roles & Tactical Arsenal

Build your team with strategic Specializations. Method of Entry features four distinct roles: Rifleman, Pointman, Marksman, and Tactician. Each specialization unlocks a specific portion of our diverse arsenal, including pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, DMRs, and shotguns. This system isn't just for realism; it demands genuine tactical team planning, preventing homogenous loadouts and ensuring balanced, dynamic engagements. Teams are strategically limited to two of each specialization, with Marksmen capped at one, ensuring thoughtful composition.

Beyond individual firearms, a comprehensive suite of tactical utilities provides crucial strategic depth. Deploy flashbangs, smoke, and stinger grenades for area control; use breaching charges for dynamic entry; or strategically employ unique tools like shotgun booby traps, door jammers, and corrosive acid bottles to defend key areas and deny enemy pushes. Expect even more tactical gear in future updates, continuously expanding your strategic possibilities.

The Black Talon Group, or BTG, is as of 2024 the largest private military contractor on planet earth with offices in several countries world wide and personnel in the thousands.  Their global reach paired with their ability to work with or around local governments has made them the ideal force to combat the rising threat of the "Collapse" movement.

Little is known about this groups members or leadership.  It's not apparent that they share a single country of origin or identity.  The only thing clearly known about the movement is that their members seem to infiltrate society across all levels and there is no barrier for involvement aside from the dogmatic belief that the world is "sick" and that humanity is on the wrong course. The only way forward is to burn it down and start again.
