Hentayyy Productions Reviews: Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror

My second "review", this time it's a game that I've played when I was a kid. Just like my previous video, this one was delayed several times. Got sick twice and then my chronic illness decided it would be fun to come back and torment me some more. The sound quality is all over the place since I was recording my voice when I was still sick. Video quality is also bad for some reason. Didn't try to re-render the video since Sony Vegas is holding my PC hostage every time I try to render something and sometimes it wouldn't render anything at all. I hope that you will nonetheless enjoy this video.

Sorry for long absence! Got sick but now I'm recovering. Hope you will enjoy this video, despite its audio and video problems.

Tactical Ops is great. They are still playing it today!

I played this game when I was 7 in early 2000s or so and I thought it was counter-strike XD Loved it back then and still do so

[@otneyat]

This deserve more recognition

37:00 was a feature. i think its not true for all versions but i remember as a kid that the hostages that would pick up guns later in the round could be noticed early by them having a smile in their face or their pleas for help sounding fake. i tried the game again after watching this video and yes the movement and shooting are sluggish as hell, and cs gameplay ended up being more timeless but maybe that's because so many games copied it. i think the spray mechanic in cs is alright, you can think of it as controlling the kick of the gun instead of the bullet spray. on another note, i used to play a lot of gmod and some ports or recreations of TO maps would show up in the servers i played, especially the island map.

MachoPikcho so the algorithm somehow sent me down here... but i must say this was 1hr high worthy of my time great video!

[@MachoPikcho]

Glad you liked the video! youtube algorithm sure works in mysterious ways...

[@arminunruh452]

great man!! played this game so much when i was young. i started playing it sgain now!

[@SnakeKoRn]

Another + for Tactical Ops: You had the option to make custom maps, and if you're lucky, they would be added on servers and played with +30 people... I still remember the 1st time I played my map with 30 people! - That being said: Very good vid! I watched it completely and really enjoyed it! But what caused you not to be able to shoot, as mentioned in the beginning?

[@blunderingfool]

You could have just hosted your own maps on your own servers for Counter Strike 1.6... and every PC CS after. Actually, having your own maps or server used to be quite the common thing when the FPS fan bases were young.

[@obiwankenobi661]

really good video and review. also loved your mod music excursion. if i had to improve this i would make the valve part shorter and condense/cut some other parts where you kind of repeated yourself. imo it would be a better video AND save you work.

[@LucasSantanaLopes]

Tactical ops does have wallbang ballistics, you just neet to enable it, also you can bounce bullets with that option enabled. I remember it did increase lag at the time, but I used to enable it anyways on my server

[@MachoPikcho]

How do you enable it though? I never thought that that would be possible in the Unreal engine

[@LucasSantanaLopes]

@@MachoPikcho when you "create a new server" dont remember the actual name it was used at the time, there is a option to mark saying "enable ballistcs"

[@MachoPikcho]

@@LucasSantanaLopes Wow, I can't believe I've missed this. thank you so much for telling me!

[@blunderingfool]

If you're going to do a video on games that run well on 4:3 in future, there's no shame or problem in just uploading the entire video in a 4:3 resolution such as 1280x960 or 1440x1080. KZbin somehow handles (Or at least used to) esoteric screen resolutions, I tested once by uploading a 1920x810 (21:9) video. =P Also, Tactical Ops (At least the mod version) DID in fact have a sequel for UT2004. Tactical Assault: Crossfire. It's a about what you'd expect.

[@MachoPikcho]

I recently HAD to upload a video that's 4:3 resolution, since the game was only running in 640x480. I just like widescreens better, I can't really go back to 4:3, even though most of the old games either only run on 4:3 or they have some fov horror when you run them in a widescreen resolution (like Tactical Ops and CS)

[@blunderingfool]

@@MachoPikcho I daily drive a 4:3 CRT in the winter. :P Great for low resolution games. Also I edited my comment with the correct name for the TO mod for UT2K4.

[@OfficerD82]

TO:AoT has sequels though. TO:Crossfire and TO4:Tactical Operations. I remember there being some bs with the IP and the name being copywritten, so they had to use different names. TO:AoT's original name is SWAT, when it still was a mod.

ясненько

[@Gnievv]

best game

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

Forgotten gem, better then cs 1.6 all day any day imo, well maybe not but still fun :)

[@LindenAshbyMK]

30:16 that's kinda strange (cs bots > to bots) bc UT99 bots were absolutely Godlike in terms of 'smartness' and configurability. How TO even managed to lose all that potential ?
