Tactical games with tactical clans

I'm trying to find a game that will fit my requirements, and am hoping I could get some help with recommendations.

The requirements are:
- Any type of game that is real-time, so practicaly every FPS, RTS, or RPG
- Is an active game with tactical clans that use voice-based communication
- Can only be an MMORPG if it is free, or has a free trial associated with it that does not require a credit-card
- Can run on a low-spec PC: Onboard video card and 256mb of RAM
(Possibly around christmas 513mb of RAM and a radeon 9250 or geforce 5200 similar card, but would
greatly prefer a game to run on my current specs now)
- Does not use Steam

Thanks in advance,
Adamski

Re: Tactical games with tactical clans

Welcome to TG, be sure to read the SOPs and other resources available here.
You've found a community that can cater to what you are looking for, and many here are experts in squeezing the tactical goodness out of most game engines.

From what you described, I'd try looking into Operation Flashpoint or Ghost Recon. I think you'll find some here still play these excellent games.

Seconded on GunJunkie's recos. Wanting something to run with just onboard video nowadays is going to limit your choices pretty severely.

Is there a reason you're avoiding Steam? A fair number of HL1-based games and mods will fit your needs if you drop the hatin'.

Indeed, and Steam is infinitely better than it was when it was first released. All of the bugs are worked out and it's probably the best gaming application out there right now...

Re: Tactical games with tactical clans

I'd suggest

NS - Natural Selection www.unknownworlds.com/ns - Great halflife1 mod with a FANTASTIC TG community.

CS:S - Counter-strike Source - Self Explanitory unless your living under a rock

Warcraft3 is a good game too, try that out

All of those (NS included) require a video card.
