It is a wonderfully fun FPS to play both online and off. The addition of custom skins and maps will only add to this game.

Despite having more bells and whistles than CS, it simply fails to become addictive.

Armchair Empire

To spend money on a free mod for a few extra maps just seems like madness to me.

GameSpot

The game is as far from original as you can get and in need of much better balancing.

PC Gamer

It'll occasionally crash to the desktop, and has an extremely annoying bug that sometimes kills you when you start lobbing grenades. [July 2002, p.75]

GamePen

While many of the same elements that made "Counter-Strike" successful are duplicated, it’s the ones that deviate from the norm that really hurt this package.

Stuck somewhere in Purgatory between meticulous and methodical play and full on bunny hopping.

Tac Ops' fun will fizzle within an hour of play. [July 2002, p.91]

Computer Gaming World

I'm going to be blunt: It looks like complete crap. [July 2002, p.65]

ActionTrip

The main problem with Tactical Ops is that it can capture the player's attention, but not for long.

What happened to the once mighty Maryland game company that we find its name on the retail box of a blown up mod like Tac Ops?

Wake up designers; a 5.56mm round grazing a forearm doesn't kill.
