TO4 still going strong in 2021
Well now, lets take that last question - more maps! That we will deliver with the upcoming new patch. So far it looks like these maps will make it to be included in the upcoming patch: MAP-2on2-Lock made by Ssswing` The 2on2 maps will be very small and competitive maps that we will add to the game more and more. This specific map is set in an old industrial complex. While the rain poors down on you, prevent or rescue the hostages taken by a group of rebels.
MAP-Arena-2021 made by Dissident A small and moody Arena map set in a futuristic arena surrounded by snow. MAP-Collision made by Dissident This map now is a bombing scenario, but might transform in the future with a new gamemode we are working on. We just don't want to keep it from you guys. Set in a rainy industrial setting. MAP-Crossfire made by DarkSoe and improved by Dissident This arabic themed map was in before for a very short period of time. This time Dissident redid a lot of the look and feel of the map and also improved the performance a great deal)
MAP-Escape made by Darksoe and improved by ccKane Set in a modern city terrorist try to escape from the police. A complex and layered map that needs teamplay. MAP-Smuggler made by Ssswing` In this rainy setting you have to prevent some terrorist from escaping after landing in a newly build port. Don't try to swim your way out, better get your weapons or sneak your way to the waiting cars.
MAP-Thunderball made by ccKane In his first TO4 map, ccKane revises an old and known map by some: Thunderball. Set in that trainstation with hostages that desperatly want to break free. MAP-Torii made by Dissident Set in a gloomy and charming japanese setting, you will find yourself hiding in a rice field or swimming in caves in order to plant or defuse that bomb - set to blow up an ancient temple.
MAP-TrainstationII made by Dissident The map brings you into a village where terrorists have taken hostage in a trainstation. Will Special Forces rush in or play it tactical in order to save those hostages?
As said, we are working to move our game from the old Unreal Engine 4.22.3 to the newer 4.25.4. On top of that we switched sound engines. We cancelled the wwise that we used before and now use the Steam Audio setup. This also results in us redoing all sounds and prepare all our maps for better sounds (reverb, environmental effects, etc.). We also noticed that the minimap we used on our game, made the linux client crash. So we added a brand new minimap plugin that actually looks and performs better. We will post a lot more in-depth changes on our upcoming patch. We do kinda fear the day we need to create that complete patchlog in order to present to you all the changes, tweaks and fixes we implemented. It will be an insane list. So when is this patch available to everyone? We have had several internal patches with the above changes, we still have to iron out some bugs, complete some sounds and polish maps. We do expect that the longest wait is over and we will announce the new patch as soon as possible.
We have a small but dedicated community. Every (especially) evening there are servers filled. We have just public games with players have fun. We also have mixwars and clanwars that players organise themselves. We facilitate in this with available servers and our very active Discord. Feel free to visit us on www.discord.gg/to4 Here you can find the community, but also the Dev's from this game, live bots with active servers and matchsearching channels.

Our last post dated from the end of november 2020 - this seems like ages ago! Not to worry, we are still here! Working very hard indeed, we still have those filled servers in the evening hours (European times - sorry). We also still get a lot of feedback on various stuff: little bugs in maps, annoying UI menu's, cries for new and more maps.

That's an interesting list, but what else?

TO4 Client Linux [28.29 G]
TO4: Tactical Operations brings back those nostalgic feelings you know from the early days of online shooters. We love that sheer easy-to-learn-hard-to-master attitude. The fun of playing with friends in a game where you need tactics, ammo clips, bravery and perhaps a bit of luck.
Game Modes
TO4: Tactical Operations brings the game modes that we all know. Teamplay on every map with bombing (and/or defusing) scenarios, hostages rescue, the hacking of important assets and escaping with the whole team before the other team finds you. And most important, if you don’t succeed in one of those objectives, you always have the classic Team Deathmatch.
Playing the game
The game is a classic round based game. At the beginning of the round you can buy weapons, armour, and grenades with the money you have earned the round before. When you and your comrades are all geared up, you will find yourself in unique worlds where you will have an objective. Complete the objective, wipe out the entire other squad or let the round time run out. The choice is up to you. But it will reward you with stronger weapons, good map rankings and good long fights.
Key elements
The movement of TO4: Tactical Operations is something unique. The game is fast, an almost arcade-like feeling in a realistic world. Carrying a knife, pistol or rifle, your movement speed will not differ. Jumping, crouching, swimming, climbing ladders, you are in control of the direction you take. Gunfights you ask? Well, we do have a lot of guns in the game, and each has a unique feeling to it. You will find yourself switching between your 3 weapon inventory slots to win that 1 v 1 battle with an opposing player. Firefights take longer, you will not die instantly from only one shot. But the better your aim, the faster your opponent will go down.
Multiplayer
TO4: Tactical Operations development is focused on multiplayer gameplay. We love to play versus real people and not unimaginative bots or learnable AI, we have made this easy with an In-game server browser to help you find a good place to have fun with friends and other players or to find the most challenging game for your level of gameplay
