Interview with Lobo of Forgotten Hope 2

Forgotten Hope 2 is a WW2 modification for Battlefield 2 that promises to deliver historical authenticity and more realistic play than the standard BF2 game. I recently spoke with Lobo, Forgotten Hope’s team leader, about what to expect from the upcoming release of FH2.

GR:AW Preview by Loadedinc.com

James Hill over at LoadedInc.com wrote a nice preview of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter based on a screening he attended at Ubisoft.
Perhaps the biggest reason for owning the PC version will be the editor which will become available for download post release. This will allow players to create their own levels as well as other […]

What is Tactical Realism Not?

Sometimes the best way to describe something is by showing what a thing is not. For example, this in game video from CoD2 is definitely not Tactical Realism. While most of you may not be able to watch more than 20 seconds of this video, I was mesmerized by the “gameplay” and found […]

Badge of Blood: Tactical Realism in Space?

When I am not day-dreaming of being a successful squad leader for an allied unit in WW2, I’m day-dreaming about space ships and colonizing/invading alien planets. Did I just say that out loud?
What this means is that while I will never grow old of TR gaming in the WW2 environment, I would also like […]

Death Messages/No Obits on RO Servers

Oddly enough most RO Tactical Realism servers are keeping Death Messages on. I was surprised to see this, having Death Messages off has almost become a Standard for TR servers in other communities. To some its not a big deal, to others it adds to the overall experience of TR.
Lets dwell into this a bit. […]
