Tac Ops Patch

I've played this game on and off since it was called SWAT. I have a love hate relationship with it. There are a lot of issues, but it can be lots of fun.

Biggest beef is that the shotguns are pathetic.

i have a mac and ut is the only game besides q3a. i like this game, and the retail plays the same as the mod, except for new maps included for the retail version. it plays great at half game speed imo though...

I have yet to see a review of the retail game that was kind. They have all been pretty brutal.

I enjoyed playing this when it was just a UT mod. As a mod, it was pretty good. As a retail product, it wasn't. The guys running this didn't have good Quality Assurance and at one time, the servers were running a *ton* of different releases and it really fragmented up the community.

Has this gotten any better? I'm totally hooked on SoF2 and wouldn't even consider leaving that. The "buy" part of Counter-Strike and Tactical Ops is such a killer punishment for dying. It's bad enough you died, you also lose all your gear and have to repurchase it. And god help you if you lose the first round of a map switch. Your team is just about guaranteed to lose the next 2-3 rounds on the inequities of gear available to the other side.

None of that "buy" crapola in SoF2. You outfit yourself at the beginning and it becomes a game of *skill* and not a game of *inequity*.
