I was disappointed to see that tactical pause hasn't made its way into solo War Games since the demo.

Needless to say, tactical pause is an important accessibility tool to have in all aspects of the game (having always been a key option in the original titles). For me at least, without the ability to pause the game, in a mode like War Games, I can feel overwhelmed by the speed of things going on with little time to process it. As a result, I'm unable to really play the mode at all, effectively being locked out of what BBI and Gearbox clearly want to have as the replayable content for players.

not a perfect fix but if you need to take a breath, the game is paused in solo war games while you're in the game menu (hitting esc)

Similar to above point, while it is not a true fix you can hit game menu to pause if you need to get a step away from the computer for a bit - but I agree active pause would be much better.
