The team over at the <a href="http://tw.bfworld.net/index.php?op=edito" target="_blank">Tactical War</a> mod have released their first public beta today. Here's what they had to say:<blockquote>As we said to you a few days ago, the beta release of Tactical War is out! Before installing this version, you need to have your Battlefield 2 game without any modifications and have to install the 1.03 patch. With these two condititions, you just have to download the mod with one of the link down below. To play with the mod, you just have to use the shortcut created by the install. We want to thank a lot our sponsor EliottNess to host a server 32 players with our mod with ip : 62.4.70.179:16567 We wish you a good game on this beta release which is just our first release and the start of a long job. Indeed, we want to make Tactical War more interesting day by day.

Please stay calm and post a message on our forum (see up).

future patches. So stay tuned on our website to check the last improvements.
