Tactical Mod 1.4 and Map Pack 2 released (unofficial announcement)
Since asch is out tonight I thought I'd post an unofficial announcement that Tactical Mod 1.4 and Tactical Mod Map Pack 2 have been released. Asch should be back tomorrow to post an official announcement, update the Tactical Mod web site, and get the public press release ready to send out. We will be playing all of the new maps at Thursday's Tactical Mod Night. Let's fill up the server and give these new maps a proper going over!
Here's the final changelog:
- Increased OpFor sniper rifle scope power
- Increased speed required to trigger claymores
- Players can now move in front of a claymore while prone without triggering it
- Added 7th seat to transport helos
- Increased flag capture time
- Increased attack helo cannon explosion radius
- Increased transport helo armor
- Added support for new maps from Tactical Mod Map Pack 2
- Port Fear
- Operation Frog
- Operation Compton
- Operation Greasy Mullet
- Operation Phoenix
And here's some screenshots of the new maps:

Sitting in the 7th seat makes me incredibly giddy, perhaps for the novelty, or perhaps because you're sitting in the front but have no control over the helo itself. You can turn around and see everyone else in the main compartment so it also has the "don't make me turn this chopper around!!" feel to it.

So to be clear, for the scrim we will be running 1.4, just with Steel, Inishail, and Wake...correct?

Yes, I think it is too late to expect the COs to develop scrims for maps that have never been generally played.... Originally Posted by JMJ

Yeah, I hope this becomes a regular role on the larger maps with transport helos where it will be really important to quickly move multiple squads into supporting positions. It will also be great to have a dedicated transport helo pilot for situations when a squad gets stranded because they lost their vehicle for some reason or otherwise need to be evacuated. It will be interesting to see how the communication protocols develop between squad leaders and the transport pilots. With a CO it can be a simple relay with move markers for the passengers' destination. Without a CO communication will probably have to be done via text chat and pilots will need to be very aware of messages directed to them and should provide acknowledgement when they are received and understood. Using repeated symbols (like ===========) at the beginning of a transmission may help to separate text communication from the automatically generated messages. Originally Posted by Coridon

Wait for the transport pilot to get in the helo and fly you to your destination. That's their supporting role just as the jet and attack helo pilots are there to give you air support.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the work you guys have done on Tac Mod. I tried it again a week or two ago after a long hiatus, and it's really come a long way. No longer does BF2 feel to me like Mario Bros. with rifles and tanks; rather, with Tac Mod, it feels like a solid tactical shooter. I've been enjoying it and look forward to future releases.

I guess you won't like our upcoming "Save the princess from the evil Bowser" game mode. Originally Posted by Strag

Depends. Is this the game mode that'll have perry running around in the princess outfit while Bubba and Fault play Dueling Banjos together in the woods? Originally Posted by SgtDuke

Are we still playing 1.4 tonight (Thu 8/17)? I had't seen the official announcement yet and so I am hesitant to DL 1.4 fi we are going to play 1.3.
