SMOD: Tactical is a mod for HL2 / Counter Strike. It has some very interesting game mechanics.
http://www.moddb.com/mods/smod-tacticalIt's a variation of SMOD, which is a rather cheesy technical upgrade for HL2. Tactical started out as a weapons pack, and eventually turned into it's own sub mod. It's main focus is to provide a kind of lone-wolf tactical challenging gameplay. It's meant to be as realistic as they could make it whilst still being fun to play as a hl2 source engine mod. It is meant to make HL2 less of a cakewalk, but it also comes with it's own fun and interesting missions.
The game has a reduced hud, no crosshairs, and a health regeneration system that can be toggled. Freeaim is also present, so it is important to either aim down the sights or use a crosshair for accurate fire.
All weapons have bullet entry / ironsights and a fitting stopping force.
The AI is much more aggressive, often flanking and suppressing, along with using grenades to flush the player from cover.
The project has been abandoned but is still available for download.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1725333/Files/smodtactical_version1_beta1_patched.7zHere's the Moddb for 5.56
http://www.moddb.com/mods/smod-dt-project-lifeI found that the difficulty was kinda, reduced? in delta 6? Maybe it's just because they hadn't finished it. In 5.56, the enemies seemed to be much more challenging. Must be unfinished AI / bad mapping.
The game has a very broad range of weaponry, and it has very interesting mechanics. Scopes actually zoom in, you can kick, bullet time, etc. I found that the campaign and the included missions were much more difficult and exciting with this mod.

Run .exe
5.56 / 6
There's a difference between the two games.
Delta 6 has some really interesting maps and really neat weapons, but the AI is unfinished and lacks challenge on any difficulty lower than hardcore.
Delta 5.56 doesn't have the graphics and weapons Delta 6 has, but it's AI is far superior.
