Global operations published recently has been touted as a rival Counter-Strike force, although its design must be at least while the legendary mod the Team Fortress and its progeny, as done for the Counter-Strike. In the shadow of the marketing push Operations "comes another game" ops "Tactical Operations: Attack against terrorism. In a sense, Tactical Ops is a real competitor to the Counter-Strike Global Operations is. This is Tactical Operations is essentially just a clone of Counter-Strike, the Unreal Tournament built around instead of Half-Life. The basic design of the game is very similar in nearly all material respects, and while Tactical Ops has certain advantages, it is not as fine tuned as the model. As Counter-Strike Tactical Ops (originally called SWAT) started life as a free mod created by the fans. MicroProse has now released this improved mod with some new and exclusive content including new maps and skins commercial version. At the same time, the basic version of the mod is still available as a free download, and Infogrames promises that both free and retail versions are fully compatible. However, even with the latest patches, discharges servers and dropped connections are common due to version conflicts and other problems. Whichever version is played, is not expected to be impressed with the innovation. Anyone who has played Counter-
Strike before - and now seems to include all players and grandmother - will be hit with a huge case of deja vu. The game is divided into rounds, with two groups of Special Forces and terrorists, are trying to accomplish the opposite goals other than simply killing the opposition. Special Forces may need to rescue hostages and terrorists trying to prevent the rescue. In other words, the terrorists tried to detonate a bomb on a specific target, while special forces are trying to stop the effort. Another way is the terrorists who are trying to steal the OICW (advanced target individual battle the US Army rifle), while special forces trying to protect him. Then there is a mode in which a team tries to escape from each other. Unfortunately, the maps are not labeled in accordance with the type of game, so you have to guess what the map offers what situation when a new start. As in Counter-Strike, you only get one life per round, sitting out the rest of the round as an invisible spectator after his death. You earn money for accomplishments such as kill enemies, find evidence such as bags of cocaine, and completing their mission objectives. At the beginning of each round, you can trade your cash for new equipment. Tactical Ops offers a good selection of tools. Helmets, bulletproof vests and pads provide some protection against bullets whizzing all around. You will have the opportunity to buy high-explosive, smoke, flash-bang, and concussion grenades, although the latter is not so different from the HE grenades. Everyone gets a flashlight by default, but is rather low. Fortunately, you can also buy night vision goggles, which are useful in many parts of the dark map. Tactical Ops is one of those shooters that emphasizes clean on fire in any kind of deep tactical thinking or James Bond gadgetry, and the game has a large arsenal. Besides a knife, you get about 20 firearms, including pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles and sniper rifles. A number of weapons are unique to one or another group to help differentiate the two forces.
weapons of both sides appear to be fairly well balanced against each other in general, although undoubtedly some weapons such as M60 dominates. Like when Counter-Strike was lower, the names of firearms has changed to confusion. A MAC-10 falsely labeled an Uzi. And just what is a "9F2 Glorieta" or "Berg 509"; One can only assume a Beretta 92F pistol and a shotgun Mossberg respectively. little manual Ops Tactical », almost needless pretty much sums up the game - it is a" first-person shooter Semirealistic action-oriented. "In other words, it is extremely fast paced and you happen to have weapons based on real models. While it is certainly efficient to work together with their teammates and using the flash-bangs and similar to thwart the enemy, winning comes down to having the fastest reflexes. Players quickly run, rabbit-hop a lot, and can fall away intact. Many of the guns shoot extremely fast, emptying clips in seconds. The breakneck pace of Tac Enterprise means more rounds ended abruptly. The breakneck pace of Tac Enterprise means more rounds ended abruptly. This focus on the fast action creates excitement, however, is often very hectic. The game literally plays even more frantic than deathmatch Unreal Tournament sometimes. This seriously undermines the central idea of offering real-world weapons and other Semirealistic symbols. You get very little time to see how you're zipping through the maps, while all falling like flies. rounds of the game often end almost immediately after starting. Make no mistake: Tactical Ops has more in common with Quake III Arena with other modern shooters like Ghost Recon weapons or SWAT 3 - or mods for Unreal Tournament as intrusion
,. One of the things that often makes or breaks shooters are one of the most difficult to identify the elements or feel delicate balance. It consists of many factors, such as rates of player movement, the median survival of characters, physical weapons (both hard data as shooting and apparent power rates and created a sound and visual weight), time and so on. This "feeling" is that Counter-Strike nailed almost perfect. At least back in the days of the early glory (and perhaps even today), Counter-Strike was the equivalent of grace and balance of the martial arts master, while Tactical Ops is more like an awkward teenager in a first lesson in Kung Fu - enthusiastic, but clumsy. The need for a more finely honed balance stands out not only when playing online, but when you play online with and against bots AI. They tend to make straight lines on the map vital parts, resulting in instantaneous blood congestion baths. Bots are quite competent in basic combat skills concerns, but can lose track of the mission objectives or mill around. online game is mostly only useful to get acquainted with the game, so do not buy Tactical Ops single player mode, or you will be disappointed. The dream of a single player mode Counter Strike style will have to wait. Whatever the shortcomings of AI, Tactical Ops graphics have taken a welcome revision to this final version, with new player skins, weapon models, and more. Regarding the gameplay, maps vary widely, but most of them are certainly attractive, proving once again how far ahead of its time was the graphics engine Unreal Tournament when first released. Many of the textures are very convincing, and lighting in many maps is atmospheric, but often very dark (a common vice among cartographers, especially in amateur scene). The pictures definitely look better than the
Counter-Strike, but visually in their own right are equally important. For example, the player skins look impressive, but it can be very difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, i.e., players often end mates shooting. Audio Tactical Ops «go wrong than graphics. Most weapons metallic sound, low power, and frankly not convincing, and most animated voiceovers sound. On the other hand, the new music, which is nice sometimes reminiscent of the soundtrack of Deus Ex, helps to create a strong tone for the game. Whatever the benefits of music or graphics Tactical Ops, the game is so far from the original, as you can get and need a better balance. Even if you are looking for a Counter-Strike is that no Counter-Strike Tactical Ops provides an acceptable alternative. It's definitely rough around the edges, but at least offer something reminiscent of exciting action and direct Counter-Strike team that made such a great success. Regarded as a free mod, Tactical Ops is an achievement of developers can be proud - but taken as a retail game that could use more work.
