Ladies and Gentlemen, you have the pleasure to read a news post ACTUALLY written entirely by me, StuD, Project Lead for Tactical Assault.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone interested in helping the Tactical Assault project or maybe just interested in improving your own skills in whatever field you specialize in to JOIN the Tactical Assault Team! We definitely have a high demand for skilled Texture Artist and Modelers. We also have currently developed a high priority need for an Effects Engineer! If you believe you could help in the development or publicity of Tactical Assault APPLY!
One last thing I would like to say before I type all this and show you all the pretty pictures. I am really not even sure why I am typing an article at all... I know our Media Releases are pretty much the same as Play Boy, no one looks at them for the text...
So without further delay, I present you with a bunch of work I did not make!
Our Weapon Artists ElShotte, Kaskad and Loebedoe (I purposely put ElShotte's name first to stroke his vanity) have been doing amazing work as you can observe below. All of these guys are absolute professionals at what they do and I am honored to work with such talented guys.
Kaskad modeled the Sig 556 shown below. This was actually his assigned project for his trial period to join the team. Needless to say he knocked his trial period out of the water! As you can see however, this model is still untextured, so if you think you're skilled enough to texture this incredible model then APPLY!
Now for Mr. Vanity himself, ElShotte. ElShotte is Tactical Assault's Lead Weapon Artist for those who do not know. Elshotte is an absolute work horse. He consistently puts a ton of hours into working on Tactical Assault every week. This is evident in the amount of weapon models he has produced recently!
ElShotte's first weapon presented here is the Springfield XD 45. I really like this weapon! You'll get this weapon as the default pistol if your on the Strike Force Team!
ElShotte's next weapon model presented here is the Remington 870 which will be a Shotgun used by the Strike Force Team.
Now I didn't even know ElShotte was working on nades and then one day he messages me wanting me to look at a render of all the nades completed... As you can see this guy needs his own personal Texture Artist as he simply works too fast! You MUST know what you're talking about and be amazing to work with ElShotte though, so if you're up for the challenge, APPLY!
As well as his weapons Loebedoe has been working on playermodels and animation recently. This is a shot of the 1st person model for the AK47. This is the model you will see when you have the AK equipped. Loebedoe has also started texturing the model and it is already looking hot! We will keep you updated.
Here are a couple of container meshes created by another one of our great and hard working Environmental Artists igi!
This is a collection of works from one of our newer Environmental Artist llitt. Most of these meshes will be included in Calichusetts' map "Complex"!
This next image is of a Kursk Sub. It was produced by one of our new Environmental Artists, CounterSeal. Now I'm not going to jump to any conclusions myself.... but I think someone is making a map with a sub in it?? Maybe VENOM??
Now for the GRAND FINALE!!
This image is Legen... wait for it... wait for it... Dairy! Our Environmental Artist Andy2Dandy actually modeled and textured this amazing work completely by himself and submitted it as his Senior Project. This pretty helicopter is a MI-24 Hind. Now if I had to guess, I think a Russian sub and a Russian helicopter might go nicely together in a map ;)
Wow, I'm even excited now! Many thanks need to go to kYo for his hard work helping me get this media release ready as well as AngryPenguin and ElShotte!
Final Note: Over the past couple months a massive amount of work has been done. We as a team are more productive than ever before! Much of our work is coming together and nearing completion, but simply can't be released publicly yet, especially since a good bit of it can't be shown in pictures ;)
See you on the servers,
Your TA Development Team !
Very good i like the chopper alot :D
guns and glory! is the chopper a static mesh, or will we actually be seeing the Hind in action? I remember nothing like this from the previous Tac Opps, but it could be cool to be able to call-in reinforcements occasionally.
I'm curious, will this be multiplayer only or can it be played with AI/bots? Because while this mod sounds pretty cool, and definitely looks amazing, I'm not the kind for online multiplayer, and I don't have enough friends to play LAN! At least, not as regularly as I'd like.
I've looked and can't find anything on that. Enlighten me?

The Hind model is absolutely stunning.
But all other models are great, too!
Will this mod use Ironsights. I'm kinda picky when it comes to aiming method.
WwOUAW this rocks!The Sig 556, so Clean mod!
And the TA website is so professional!
