Tactical Ops Review

In general terms, Tactical Ops is a first-person shooter with realism added into it.There are 2 opposing teams - Special forces and Terrorists.The player chooses one of the teams to play on.There are various weapons available: pistols, sub-machine guns, rifles, and grenades.These weapons are bought with money that is assigned to each player, which accumulates with more kills the player makes.The objective of the game is to eliminate the players on the opposing team by killing them or rescuing hostages.Unlike Doom, Quake or Duke Nukem 3D games, players do not respawn immediately after they die.They need to wait until the round ends - when one of the teams is eliminated.This game began as a mod (modification) of Unreal Tournament a few years ago and eventually became retail - following the footsteps of Counter-Strike, a Half-Life mod.
*** If you have already tried Counter-Strike... ***
Tactical Ops is very similar to CS (Counter-Strike).A major difference between the two, which may have caused many of the players to switch from CS to this game, is the dynamics.When someone shoots you in CS, you immediately slow down a lot - thus, giving that person a high advantage, and which usually means that whoever shoots first would normally get the kill.This is not true in Tactical Ops - your speed remains unchanged even when someone is shooting at you, making the game more fair.Also, the gameplay is a little faster, meaning that the walking speed is slightly faster compared to that of CS.In addition, the height of jumping is a bit higher in Tactical Ops.HE grenades are more realistic: maximum damage is instant death when the player gets too close to one when it explodes.Graphics are slightly more crisp in Tactical Ops than in CS.The substantial dynamics of this game have caused me to be entirely absorbed with this game.
*** If you're already playing Tactical Ops... ***
This retail version has a slight improvement in graphics - I personally think the graphics right now are superb already.More maps are included in this version.A few new weapons are out and new skins for some of the current weapons are revamped.New female skins for both Special Forces and Terrorists are available.Other new features may have also been included - check with the official Tactical Ops site.Gameplay should be identical to that of Version 2.2.
*** Conclusion ***
A very playable, absorbing, dynamic and stress-relieving game!Though unoriginal, this game is highly recommended for players that like first-person shooters.If you've got good skills/strategy/tactics in first-person shooting, then Tactical Ops is very adaptable, though new techniques such as timing grenade throwing, and learning to reload at the right times need to be learnt.A must-buy!
