[QUOTE=shiggbat]Okay played through every map a few times, pretty boring.[/QUOTE]
Well it is boring if you compare this with a fast paced action game like Half-Life 2 Vannila, in this mod you have to play using tactics (you thought the name was just for looks?).
You have to spend much of the time in this mod behind cover to stay alive, an enemy can kill you with just 3 shots, also this isn't your average shoot the wall 3 times and the player once AI, no matter what kind of AI you chose they will hardly miss you if your out of cover, they can also kill you instantly with a headshot.
The enemy AI I chose was "Trained" and difficulty is "Normal", I've been playing the Half-life 2 campaing for the past 3 hour and I still haven't got to water hazard, that's how hard it is.

Most of the people that say it is boring are usually playing with Cheats on.
Have anyone anyone found some decent zombie maps for this yet? i can't really steer clear of the Smod: T forum, too unorganised. If you do however, have a link please PM me.
Hm, for some reason npc_zombie2 isn't being found. What could be wrong?
[QUOTE=Kimaru]Most of the people that say it is boring are usually playing with Cheats on.[/QUOTE]
True. I try it with cheats on but it's supposed to be made for realism.
And i enjoy it a whole lot more that way.
This mod is intense. I tried the mine map, and i was forced to camp in the little room you spawn in because outside about 25 enemies waited for me, and fired like crazy as soon as they saw a tiny part of me. They kept throwing grenades so the stuff flew around and i had to find new cover. My screen was almost constantly red and bullets were flying everywhere. Took me about 20 minutes before i could force myself out with slowmotion and a few well placed grenades.
But damn it's hard to fight with a completely red screen and a view swaying all over the place.
To shorten the loading times use medium detail. It gets rid of the vector blurring which takes up most of the load time. There won't be any motion blur and your weapon won't be blurred. But if you aren't patient then you can benefit from this.
Is it just me, or are the enemies in this game extremely hard? *considering I set them to easy/army training, and they can take me down in under a second if I poke my head around a corner...
EDIT: Also, electrocuter, I am stuck right when you first drop down after getting the knife... and I run to the train for cover, just to find that when I am forced to drop down onto the moving train alley, I get killed so fast, it's insane. *that and I try to take the time to kill the first guy to get his gun, just to end up dead by the time he drops it*
Wow - such a great mod.

To me on that part the moving train always kills a guy and I get his gun, from what I remember there was a guy on top of the bridge and another on top of the tunnel from where the moving train comes from, those guys killed me alot until I figured out where they were.
Blegh, npc_zombie2 [i]and[/i] bullettime are not working. Shit sucks.
I know I am going to get random unfriendly ratings for this but what is Smod? Seriously, some screen shots I see of it look like it's a swat team thing, some look like a counter strike mod, some are in 3rd person, some are half life 2 with different models and I even saw one of the player feeding a banana to an antlion.

Smod or Smod: Tactical? They're both different.
SMod: tactical is a realistic Counter Strike version of Smod. And kind of Red Orchestra, too.
Smod vanilla is HL2 but with new enemies, weapons, and totally awesome and unrealistic pools of blood and gore. And body explosions. Totally awesome. :dance:
[QUOTE=Leo Leonardo]Smod or Smod Tactical? They're both different.[/QUOTE]
Well I know that the antlion with the banana was from regular smod. What exactly is the difference?
Just to inform the assholes; This version was released as a bug test. Wait for the final release that's coming shortly, before you preach about how much Phatcat and/or this mod sucks.
This is why Phatcat didn't want the news of Delta 5 to spread.
Hey, I'm back and uploading some screenshits.
The starting map!

There's also a thing that lets you choose the skill of your enemies. Exactly how well they shoot and stuff. I chose Normal Army and Easy. Because I'm not very good.

This is what happens when you get damaged and you're in third person :dance:
On a personal note, I've beaten Half Life 2 at least 6 times, I've found all the gman spots, I've played SMOD and the previous installments of Tactical. But this has made me want to play it through all over again. It is balls to the wall, intense fun. If you're one of the unlucky ones having problems (I haven't had a single one) then I really reccomend you wait for the full release of Version 1.
In the meantime, I'm gonna play some more :D
(Oh, and one more thing, Poison Headcrabs are your worst enemy in this game because of the screen effects. If you see one, BUCKLE UP)

I've gotten to the train station outside of Ravenholm and so far Tactical rocks! It's not that hard, I've only had a few areas where I died several times until I found a smart strategy (this is Medium). There are a few things bugging me that I want help on:
1. Why is it that the only assault rifle you can carry with along with the shotgun is the M4? I like the UMP better, and I still want a shotgun always! If this has to do with the limitcategory script, how do I specifically change this problem?
2. So far, there hasn't been a whole lot of weapon diversity. I haven't seen the Colt Python, the Deagle, or the FAMAS anywhere, and the AK47 only appears with citizens. Are they gonna appear later?

You could go into the console any enter weapon_categorylimit 0 or something similar. I don't know the exact name.
Then you enter weapon_maxweapons #
# = Amount of Weapons you want to be able to carry at once.

The starting map reminds me of Quake...
I don't see what is so great about smod tactical I think it is utter shit compared to smod 3.5 or 3.9. Seriously it just adds more buggs longer loads and crappy controls.
I've downloaded the patch version, and as expected it's buggy. Is the full install more stable? And if so, will the stability justify the extra bandwidth wasted?
I'm pretty sure I'm approaching this month's download limit.

I don't want to carry an infinite # of weapons, I just want to hold 2 assault rifles and a shotgun. What's the script where I can edit the number of weapons that can be held in each category?
The new effects are brutal on my fps. I was playing at a steady 20 fps with no sudden drops though

That zombie map is awesome! I hope they make more like that, I love spawning one AI friend with an SMG on elite and seeing how long I can last.
Super fun watching the bodies skid along the ground when they are sprinting and shot, it looks awesome.
I love the way the zombies flail their arms, twist around, and tumble after dieing when they are running.
