Hard Core Tactical Mod

Mod review

A lot of content, but very roughly put together. This mod is very extensive, but maps are repeated time and time again, the A.I. is very clunky (sometimes downright not working), some missions can bug out at weird points, the controls aren't working sometimes, etc. etc. No matter how big you make this mod, it doesn't matter if it's terribly implemented. Plus you have the anachronisms (PPS-43 in 1938 Poland?!) and things that make little sense (Soviet tankers speaking English, Poles speaking Russian and fighting with Soviet weapons).

The balancing on this mod is scaled towards hardcore players. This is not a bad thing. However, some truly ridiculous situations can emerge. Like a guy with a bolt-action ducking behind cover, popping up, and in exactly 0,025 seconds taking aim at you and shooting you in the face, to then duck ASAP. Or the fact that the NPCs all seem to be pro baseball players and are able to toss grenades across half a map.

That being said, the mod has a lot of ambition and work put into it. IMO Back2Fronts is still better, but only because it is way more polished.
