SMOD: Tactical 1.0 file

Extract the contents to your Steam/steamapps/sourcemods folder. Restart and you should have it to play in your library, provided you own Half-Life 2. The file comes with its own read-me, changelog and credits.

Due to the size of the read-me, it will not be included in the description.

Changelog:

BASE:
-REQUIRES HALF-LIFE 2 AND COUNTER-STRIKE: SOURCE.

GAMEPLAY/SCRIPTS
-Added SMOD Menu System. Removed Config Map.
-Balanced out skill level curve.
-Added Optional Bandanging System. A more immersive form of Health Regeneration.
-Made a number of gameplay tweaks to HL2 NPC's (manhack, gunship, helicopter, etc) to bring them more in-line with Tactical's gameplay.
-Added "giveall" command to give every weapon in Tactical as a workaround to impulse 101.
-Reordered weapon category system. You can now carry one Pistol, one "Close-Range" weapon (SMG, PDW or Shotgun), one Assault or Battle Rifle, and one "Special Purpose" weapon (Sniper Rifle, RPG, LMG or Grenade Launcher).
-Lowered mouse sensitivity by 30% when using the ironsights.
-NPC's move 20% slower to better match the player speed in SMOD: Tactical.
-Running backwards/sideways is now slower than running forwards.
-AUX power bar is no longer infinte by default (means you can't sprint as long anymore, but also eliminates infinite bullet time/underwater breathing). Still can be activated as a cheat.

"To me, SMOD: Tactical is nothing more than me brining great community work together in one fun expreience. 90% of what is SMOD, is a community effort. The Models are mostly from the great guys from the CS:S Skinning and Modeling community.
The maps are from the HL2 and CS:S Mapping communities. And the mod itself is from "the Author" of SMOD. If it wasn't for them there would be nothing."
