A milestone for Tactical Gamer: 20,000 members!

Co-op action on Sunday, January 13 on Server #1

Magnum shares with us a video of SWAT 4 action from this past Sunday. More SWAT 4 tactical fun is planned for this Sunday, January 13 at 7:45 p.m. on the TG SWAT 4 server.

Mirfee posts to remind us that TG is still participating in rFactor racing in partnership with the League of Perpetual Novices. An event is planned for Wednesday, January 8th racing VW Beetles! Stop by the TGRL forum to find out what you need to get set up if you're interested in getting a few races in.

Battlefield Conquest League has announced its BF2142 12v12 Titan competition season is approaching fast. The deadline for registration is February 15, and competition begins March 3.

Community member Nixon tells us about the Battlefield: Korea mod, a user-made modification for Battlefield 2 that is still under construction. It looks like it's shaping up to be pretty good, but the mod team needs help from coders and animators! Also, the mod team is looking for a server to run a beta test.

Project Reality Mod (BF2) password nights on Thursday and Sunday. These nights have traditionally featured very high quality gameplay, and generally reduce the ratio of pubbie minded players to hardcore players significantly. See this thread for more information.

Calling all Enemy Territory: Quake Wars players at TG: an internal scrimmage is planned for Sunday, January 27 at 2:30 p.m. Teams will be set once enough people sign up.

Counter-Strike: Source PCS Lockdown night on Friday, January 11. Fridays are PCSLockdown Day. All day on Friday, Server 1 will have a password. Please see the announcement in the CS:S forum for more information.

For Supporting Members who play Call of Duty 4, a Supporting Member reserved slot system has been established. Details on how it works can be found in the link.

Community member MagnaCentipede is soliciting input for a Team Fortress 2 map he is working on. Stop by the thread to leave him ideas and encouragement!

Another TF2 scrim is in the works against the TFR community. You might remember TG won the first of these friendly match-ups.

A Team Fortress 2 6v6 league has been established by BFCL. It doesn't look like signup is open, but they do have rules posted.

TG's World of Warcraft guild was recently featured in the machinima Illegal Danish 2: Escape from Orgrimmar! Talk about it here.

Rockstar Games has placed its full lineup on Steam. You can pick up the entire collection for $53.95 (USD) as part of a limited time sale.

The Consumer Electronics Show opened its doors Sunday in Las Vegas. There's usually a few bits of gaming-related news that come out of the show. G4TV is broadcasting live from Vegas, so check your local listings.

GameSpot forum user AdrianWerner says Happy New Year by publishing a huge list of PC titles expected to be released this year. What are you looking forward to?

SimHQ has published its retrospective on 2007. It's a great read and a nice departure from the cookie-cutter "best of" lists that are so popular this time of year.

Speaking of best-of lists... IGN rates BioShock its Game of the Year for 2007.

Flatout: Head On - A demolition derby-style arcade driving game. This is the first incarnation of the series to appear on PC.

Rail Simulator - EA Games entry into the train simulation market, presumably to compete with Microsoft's anticipated title, Train Simulator 2.

Carrier Strike Force - A third-party expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This expansion by Abacus Software features a series of missions that begin and end on an aircraft carrier.
