Currently replaying SWAT 4, watching as my fellow officers kill suspects that could have been saved had they waited for the CS gas grenade to go off. Killed basically every suspect during the nightclub mission. My first attempt by using less than lethal weapons wound up with everyone dying.

I only ever played swat 2 but it was cool because you could play as the terrorists and the last missions were you trying to escape from your trailer park compound while swat attacked and then trying to board a commercial airliner to flee the country if I remember right

In topical news, I meant to use a taser on a civilian refusing to comply, accidentally pulled out my M4A1. Whoopsie Doodles.

Apparently that Takedown Red Sabre game turned out to be poo poo but looked promising.

Rainbow Six Siege looks interesting but the scale looks way smaller than I'd like.

I don't want to play a game where I'm some elite dude taking down terrorists with operator guns, I just want to be a SWAT guy doing a drug warrant and having to decide if I need to shoot the guy who's not dropping his weapon.

Yeah isn't that game 4v4. It's a shame because it has a lot of cool stuff like shooting holes in walls.

swat 4 was awesome except the times when you got shot in the leg and had to limp around looking for the final hostage or whatever.

rainbow six siege looks like poo poo, the last good one was raven shield.

the ai wasn't too bad. raven shield had awesome ai who would all stand in front of a door, open it wide, then get shot one by one trying to throw a grenade in the room. it was nearly impossible to have a team survive if you didn't control them

The only SWAT game I've played is SWAT 3. When I got really bored I would challenge myself by trying to kill my entire squad of officers and all the enemy's in the level without dieing. It was pretty fun.

"In other news, tonight an attempt was made on the South Korean Ambassador's life. He was taken to the hospital, but gunmen stormed the building. SWAT stormed the building, but all 5 officers were killed, because they were all using paintball guns. In this reporter's opinion, there are times when getting a 100/100 isn't worth it."

nonlethal is easy mode until the final mission. in a different game that would be annoying like bosses in hr, but here it makes sense.

its is irrationals best game and this

i forget how its done exactly, if there re several entrances to a room you can position your guys there and have them storm the room all at once through different doors like a reel swat team. i think it involves using their cameras. leaving a guy to watch a corridor or a dorrway is another basic tactic

now that i thik about irrational has always had great ai say we you want about bioshock infinity but in a game where you always have a companion and large enemies that follow you everywhere, use the rails and jump around, i didnt see any ai issues.

i think you could split your team up into twos and position them at different doors but there was no way to simultaneously have them breach and enter until the expansion.

i won't even ask for swat 5, just put swat 4 on a digital store somewhere

I want the option to rough ride suspects that I arrest in SWAT 5.

isn't that because the companion basically didn't interact with the game at all, besides occasionally tossing you some ammo or w/e

really kind of doubt there was much continuity between the team that made SWAT 4 (2005) and Bioshock: Infinity (2013)

SWAT 5 can have fun missions like where you and your team get shitfaced at a strip club and then see if you can successfully drive everyone home hammered at 5am going the wrong way on the interstate at high speeds.

Maybe a mini-game like that game in Zelda Ocarina of Time where you put the little bomb mice into the targets but with flash-bangs and baby cribs?

The rest of the missions are no-knock raids on wrong addresses and video game swating pranks. Maybe drive a tank into a chicken coop with Steven Seagal?

You know, real life poo poo that cops actually do.

the next moh cod tottaly gonna have a mission like that the big controversy like with the airport. thr real question is if its gonna be american or foreign but people obviously want to shoot rioters at this point

she doesnt do much besides acting and moving naturally. like when you enter a room she goes off to check things out or she may sit down, she may wander off and look for stuff then she picks it up or points at it. the way she follows the player is also natural unlike the rubberbanding bots in most games with npc companions
