What Takedown: Red Sabre is

Takedown: Red Sabre is a shooter game developed by Serellan LLC and released in 2013. It was published by 505 Games. It is available on Xbox 360 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 3.

The premise, in the publisher's words

TAKEDOWN is a thinking-person’s shooter. The player that takes things slow, aims carefully, and plans their moves right will overcome the player who runs in with guns blazing. Close-quarters battle brings the fight inside, as you would see SWAT teams or SOF units taking down small numbers of dangerous adversaries. Non-linear environments allow for multiple routes and tactics and add replayability. The operation to clear pirates from a hijacked oil tanker by Russian special forces in May of 2010 is a perfect example of the types of missions in TAKEDOWN.
