The battle continues...
Armed Assault, the most anticipated tactical shooter of 2006 is finally here, and Tactical Gamer is taking the ball and running with it.
Tactical Gamer is pleased to announce its support and its new dedicated server for the much anticipated Armed Assault by BI Studios.
Armed Assault has not yet been released in the United States, but that’s not stopping the administrator and staff here at Tactical Gamer. We have decided to get a jump on this game, by supporting the German version of Armed Assault, translated using the much appreciated, but unofficial, 6Sence conversion patch.
Armed Assault is the follow up to arguably the greatest PC tactical shooter in PC gaming history, Operation Flashpoint. Armed Assault is made by the same team that made
OFP, but CodeMasters is the official owner of
OFP and its trademark and is not affiliated with Armed Assault in any way.
Game Information and features:
Armed Assault is a first person tactical military shooter with large elements of realism and simulation. This game features a blend of large-scale military conflict spread over large areas alongside the more close quarters battle. The player will find himself thrust in the midst of an engaging and expanding storyline, fighting against smart, aggressive enemies who will continually provide a challenge over a massive landscape.
- Story driven single player campaign
- Large scale multi player
- More than 30 weapons
- Vast environment to explore
- More than 30 modern vehicles
- Multiple gunners
- HDR Lighting effects
- Real constellations and tides
- Built-in mission editor
Where Armed Assault will shine with the Tactical Gamer crowd, is the open sandbox of a virtual battlefield, where we can work together as a team against the enemy AI on cooperative missions, and eventually add support for massive force vs force combat action.
When you play on a Tactical Gamer server, especially with a game like Armed Assault, you will truly find the elements of good fun game play. Tactical Gamer is famous for it's dedication to playing the objective, working as a team, and using proper military tactics. If you've never joined a game on a Tactical Gamer server, do so with Armed Assault, just make sure you're ready to play the
TG way.
Special note and warning:
It should be noted that Tactical Gamer will be supporting the German version of Armed Assault, patched to the latest version, (which is already included in the download version), and then patched with the above mentioned English conversion, until the US version is official released. When that happens Tactical Gamer will be taking down this server and replacing it with the US version. Now this shouldn't be a problem because most games support each different language version, and most like Armed Assault will also, but be warned it may not. Tactical Gamer is not responsible for your purchase of the game and the fact that it may not be supported in the US version. So please think and buy the German version at your own risk.

English conversion patch.
