Swat4

Oh god this game is ****ing awesome.


I'm on the 3rd mission, and I got tired of distinguishing civillians from the enemy, so I got a less-lethal shotgun and proceeded to blast anything that moved and arrest them. Works fine until you run out of ammo.

And at the 2nd mission, where you arrest the bald fat guy, he didn't cooperate (rather, he tried to take my head off), so I tased him. Twice. And the guy's mother for daring to badmouth a law enforcement officer.



Less lethal weaponry is the best invention ever. This wants to make me go law enforcement. I would suck at it (*BAM BAM BAM* "Get your hands-" *BAM BAM* "in the air!"), but oh the possibilities.

You seem more suited to be a politician, with your pragmatic personality.

Lulz Maybe, but if I actually become a politician, I'd be out of a job as soon as I get elected.

Fun game, terrible multiplayer.

I could never quite get into SWAT 4, no doubt its a great game. Maybe have another bash before the summer ends.

this I need to give it another stab.

 

[15357]

Ok, I have now found out the limit of less-lethal weaponry. It can't incapaciate a target.


So, my solution is to shoot the suspect 4 or more times and then taze him, then tell the ****er to get his hands up.

Or you know, taze him and then shoot him with rubber bullets.


edit: Come to think of it, an automatic tazer would be awesome.

The game's highlight to me, is the co-op multiplayer.

 

[15357]

I'll have to check that out, as soon as I finish the singleplayer. :E

Absolutely.

No other game has given me a gaming experience quite like doing a coop lan with my 2 cousins. It's a wicked combination of tactics, teamwork, fast thinking, and being scared out of your ****ing mind.

awesome game. but it has some flaws.

it is way more difficult to incapacitate someone than it actually is in real life. one or two bullets to the leg should without a doubt stop even the most persistent criminal.

 

[Kula Meenur]

Do want this game.

 

[bam23]

i play the coop all the time, but the enemies appear to have superhuman headshot reflexes :|

You have to wand and flashbang all the time or you get blasted pretty quickly.

 

[highlander]

my friend would not shut the **** up about this game, I must get this.

 

[Unfocused]

Pretty good game but I never finished it. What bothered me is, in the later missions, it was really hard to not have any casualties in your squad. The bad guys seemed suicidal/retarded, when sometimes they opened fire at a whole SWAT team pointing their guns at them. They were going down after that, but often they managed to take one or more of my squadmates down beforehand.

DUDE I JUST GOT THIS GAME THE OTHER DAY - REVIEW IN THE RATING THREAD!

Honestly, I love this game, I love how realistic it is! I use the paintball gun pepper thingy, I'm on the nightclub mission, 100% on all missions so far. On the nightclub I tried the non-lethal shotty.. It takes to long to aim.. I just use the stinger nade and start yelling like crazy.

You prolly haven't heard about this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Miami_shootout,_1986

The FBI Miami shootout was a gun battle that occurred on April 11, 1986 in Miami, Florida between multiple FBI agents and two heavily armed and well-trained gunmen. The firefight claimed the lives of special agents Gerald Dove and Benjamin Grogan, as well as the two robbery suspects, William Russell Matix and Michael Platt. In addition, five other agents were severely injured during the gunfight.

The incident is infamous in FBI history and well-studied. Despite outnumbering the suspects 3 to 1, the agents found themselves pinned down by rifle fire and unable to respond effectively. Although both Matix and Platt were hit several times in the firefight, both fought on regardless and continued to injure and kill the officers. This led to the introduction of more powerful handguns to prevent a repeat of this action.

The shootout involved a total of 10 people: 2 suspects and 8 FBI Agents. Of the 10 participants, only one emerged from the battle unharmed.[1]

Michael Platt (Ruger Mini-14 .223 Remington carbine, at least 42 rounds fired, S&W M586 .357 Magnum revolver, 3 rounds fired, Dan Wesson .357 Magnum revolver, 3 rounds fired), Killed after being shot a total of 12 times.

I saw a video on the news (fox obviously, they're the only ones who will replay videos of people getting shot/killed" of some guy who started shooting another guy outside a courthouse. The guy was shot like 4 times or something and just walks away.


Ok, after searching youtube, I found the exact video I saw when they aired it.

ehh...i still find it hard to believe that after receiving a spray of bullets to the legs you'll be able to stand up and fight.

still i think swat 4 is missing some vivid character animation and response.

 

[bam23]

I was playing this today. I wanded, but didn't see a suspect hiding behind a box. Took one step in the room and was insta-blasted.

Shit like that actually keeps me coming back though.

That I agree with. All the responses are basically same. Different animations for different body parts hit would be great, really. And some unconsciousness as well, when you hit people 5 times with a tazer while handcuffed or hit them in the head with a rubber bullet.



Anyway, I'm getting the expansion pack next week.

I started playing this again and I'm bumping this thread just to tell you this - THIS GAME IS ****ING ANNOYING! GODDAMIT! It's also addicting and it's hard to stop playing, but I'm trying hard not to bash my keyboard in when for the 20th time I'm trying to get through a mission and I die because my beanbag shotgun misses someone from 2 meters, half my squad gets wiped out by one gunman, even though he was flashed a second ago or I don't get the required 75 points on hard, because a few suspects were killed by my men instead of getting arrested and/or a few points were deducted from my score, because a criminal wouldn't comply despite being asked to 3 times, each request followed by a shot to the leg until he died. ****!

Thank you for reading.
