Somebody is playing Fallout Tactics? Why? :o
I've played it and even reached happy end, but that is not a game i would recommend to anybody.

Because it's awesome. That's why I'm playing it. I love the tactical possibilities. Snipers on the second floor shooting across a road at enemies that pop up to shoot at you? Rocket launchers, shot through windows to deal with ambushes. Mines placed in patrol routes, so patrolling enemies don't become a bother, they just become a splatter.

Add up targeted shots, such as to the eyes and appendages. It makes the game feel more fun and functional. I can deal with mutants by shooting their arms and breaking them, so they can't fire at me. Or legs so they're slower and can't chase me as easily.

Hate to drag the thread back on topic ;) Am new, recently discovered this game and I love it :D Was screwing with the campaign.ufo file cause I wanted to modify the starting cash on a campaign to try an idea out and notice there is an alien campaign there thats commented out.

Will this campaign play if I take the comment tags off?? Or will it crash my game?

it's there because there was an alien campaign once. but this was limited to a different texture for the geoscape and different default teams. the base management and aircraft are all the humans. this would need a lot of work - it's basically a new campaign.

keep in mind, our goal is to provide a scriptable engine where you are able to do this at some point. but we are not yet there.

So it was kinda of the last bit of legacy from X-Com The Two Sides? I was really hoping to see an alien campaign too :P That was one of the coolest ideas Ive seen in any of the Xcom remakes or spinoffs.

THANKS for the info! And rapid responses!! :D Again I am lovin this game so far!!
