Overview

Tactical Ops – Assault on Terror is an action-oriented semi-realistic first-person shooter. Tactical Ops – Assault on Terror pits two teams, the elite Special Forces and the Terrorists, against each other in a battle to the death in different locations around the world. There are a variety of different scenarios available to play including the basic hostage rescue scenario, right through to C4 bombing missions and the theft of a prototype weapon. The locations where the scenarios are fought vary, from the towering dam of “Verdon,” to the snows of the Antarctic in “IcyBreeze,” or the remote church of “Monastery.” Money is rewarded for successfully winning a round. However, the losers will get a little bit to keep them healthy. This cash can be used to purchase weapons, items, and body protection to help your team in their struggle. Money can also be saved to buy bigger and better weapons to out-smart the opposing forces.

Running the Game

First, quit all other applications and insert the Tactical Ops – Assault on Terror game CD into your CD-ROM drive. The installation process will start automatically. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Once the game is installed and you have started it, you can either:

–start a practice session; or

–join a multiplayer game.

To start a practice session, click on Game › Start Practice Session. A box will pop up and you will be able to choose the map you want to play. You can change the settings for each map: difficulty level, time limit, number of bots, etc. Bots are characters controlled by the computer. They act of their own will, unless you give them specific orders. In a practice session, you are the only one able to give orders to bots. However, you may see/hear messages from partner bots asking for your help. It is up to you whether you want to help them or not. In any case, you are always the commander in a practice session. After an order has been given, all bots (or a specific bot depending on the order) will follow your instructions for a couple of minutes. They will then return to a “freelance” mode, unless you give them other specific instructions.

To join a multiplayer game, click on Multiplayer › Find Internet Games and refresh the list of servers (right-click and refresh). Make sure your Internet connection is working properly beforehand. You can then select which server you wish to play on, keeping in mind that the lower the ping, the better your connection to the server will be. Also, make sure you are not joining a server that is already full. In the case that all servers are full, you can start your own multiplayer session and wait for people to join you.
