Hello Gamers. (Fallout Tactics)

[KnightRobby]

Hey everyone. My name is Robby and I am 18 years old, a pretty good gamer, and have several RTS Games that I own. I enjoy the Age of Empires II Games, StarCraft, and also have Unreal Tournament (turn violence/gore OFF! though).

Anyway, we got Fallout Tactics for a steal-of-a-price $5.00 and it is an amazing game. Just turn the violence/gore level to none and you will be fine. The game is not a FPS, it is a RTS and tactical squad based game. It even has maps for online play, but the single player storyline has me interested right now.

It is great fun. A single mission can take hours (although I cannot play such missions in one sitting - too much on my brain ). Anyone hear of this game? If you haven't, get onto google and search it. You won't be disappointed. Does anyone know of other games like fallout tactics?

It's worth the purchase too

Anyway, can't wait for your comments,
Robby

Have you played Fallout 1 & 2? Fallout 1 is the best, although 2 isn't far behind. They are both hilarious in dialogue (if you make a character that is witty), and pretty fun.

You should be able to find both copies in bargain bins somewhere real cheap. Definitely worth the purchase. Wish I could try Tactics, on the look out for it.

You can get both Fallout 1 and 2 at Wal-Mart or Best Buy for 10 bucks. (I always see them at Wally World) It's in one of those budget 2-for-1 bundles. Well worth the money. These are two of my favorite games of all time.

I just reloaded FT about a month ago. Great game, tactical, sarcastic. The only part I didn't like were the random encounters (scorpions, etc) when travelling.

I wish they would have made a mission designer for that game - it would be great to make missions for others to play.

Finally, thank you for the replies. I appreciate it

Yes, I have heard of Fallout 1 and 2. Are they good graphics, compared to fallout tactics? Bececause FT is incredible graphics, it has a day and night cycle, and can run on my low-end computer. Amazing game.

I have seen it at Wal-Mart and thanks for letting me know about the tip. Might be on the look out for it

With Fallout Tactics, Kelly, they do in fact have a Map Editor. You just have to unlock it. It depends on when you got Fallout Tactics though. I just got it about two months ago. So, it came with the map editor and I unlocked it, made a map, and it had a night cycle. Most impressive map editor I have seen.

I am pretty sure you can download it from the internet too. Just search for it or go under your Windows Exlorer, then find Program Files, 14 Degrees East, Fallout Tactics, Map Editor README. It should have instructions to install it. If you don't have the map editor readme, you might have to download the map editor from the internet.

Thanks a bunch for the replies. Good to see gamers who know of Fallout Tactics. Hey Kelly, ever played Fallout Tactics over the internet? We could play sometime.

Thanks,
Robby

I just bought the Fallout 1 & 2 backage a Bestbuy the other day. I realy like it. Fallout is rapidly becoming one of my favorite games of all time.

By the way Knight, the graphics are the same in Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics. As far as I could tell anyway, I've played 1 a lot, 2 almost none, Tactics, just a demo. Though I've never seen Fallout Tactics for sale anywhere.

 

[Kelly]

tactics is the only version I played. I heard that originally, Fallout was supposed to use a computer version of Steve Jackson Games GURPS (Generic Universal Role Playing System) but at the last minute something fell through. It still has a very strong p&p feel.

 

[KnightRobby]

Really? The graphics are that good in Fallout 1 and 2? That is cool. I might look into it then I wonder if it plays the same as Tactics, because the gameplay in fallout tactics is superb.

Thanks for the replies again!

i fyou find any of the jagged alliance games, by the now defunct sir-tech(makers of the wizidry series of RPG's) they are exactly liek fallout tactics, but instead of a post apocalytic future, tehy are in a island dictator setting(think cuba). but hte gameplay is practicly identical. it's my understanding that mechwarrior cammando's is also just liek this game, but i'm not sure so get a review before you purchace, if you relly liek this type of game, i liek how you can switch from real-time to turn based, lots of fun, BTW, i found this forum loknig for user maps, anyone seen any?

Hi PEOPLES

 

[Kelly]

since snuggles dug this thread up, I saw that there is a Fallout collection out with all the Fallout games plus some behind the scenes material and the (unpublished) pen and paper game in pdf format. I might get it just for the latter.
