Get with the Program Nodwick All Games Release Dates Developers, freelance press and our staff voted on what we thought were the best games of all time. Even in real-time characters still have action points that are used for everything from firing a gun to unlocking a door just as they were previously. These points slowly regenerate over time, but the delay keeps you and your opponents from attacking nonstop and forces you to carefully think your strategy through before picking a fight with a tough opponent. Let's talk strategy for a second. Sure there has always been a bit of strategy to Fallout's combat, but Fallout Tactics takes it to a whole new level.
Characters can walk, sneak, or run and they can assume standing, crouched, or prone positions.
The environment plays a big part in shooting percentages and can provide cover from enemy fire. If you don't take your surroundings into account, you won't last long. Your enemies are smart enough not to expose themselves and will make good use of their weaponry and surroundings, so you had best be prepared as well. This is no simple find 'em and shoot 'em game. Loose a single soldier and your team may be put in dire straits with the loss of his particular skills.
