Tactical Ops on way to shops

Unreal Tournament add-on follows in Counter-Strike's footsteps

Sierra's surprising success selling boxed copies of popular Half-Life mod Counter-Strike has apparently inspired fellow French publisher Infogrames to follow suit, with reports emerging that a retail version of Unreal Tournament counter-terrorist mod Tactical Ops is on the way. The mod will be repackaged as a stand-alone game with a range of new maps, improved gameplay, an added single player mode and (hopefully) exterminated bugs. Some of this content will be exclusive to the retail release, while other features will find their way back into the mod, which is currently available to download as a free beta. Pricing and release details have yet to be confirmed.
