Hi Major,
I'm a long-time tacOps player. I think it's the first game I bought for my Mac and I got it just as it was first released. Coincidentaly, I also (up until this Friday) was the Executive Web produver for Infogrames (formerly GT Interactive), the publisher of Unreal Tournament. I participated in the marketing meeting where we discussed the TacOps/Tactical Ops dilema, and helped keep the name of the Mod "Tactical Ops", in order to keep from infringing on your TacOps brand.
If you ever need any help contacting Infogrames or Epic Games, let me know and I'll hook you up with the right folks.
