I use wedges to pen in suspects, too. Drug house? Go wedge the side door and then when you get into main room, wedge the front door. Go wedge the back door too. Now wedge whichever door you're not clearing. Before you go upstairs wedge the door leading to the only other way out of the house. Stops people from running all over the place while you're trying to finish the level and it stops the guy's from outside shooting at you, then running inside for the kill.

Goddamn Hippy posted:Big Swat 4 fan here, i found out about this game two days ago and my pants are still full of poo poo. Are there any swat 4 devs at Void interactive or does this just resemble or borrow concepts? I don't think there are old devs, but to be perfectly clear about it: This is SWAT 5 in all but name, full stop.

This game is friggin' amazing. While it still lacks certain equipment and commands from SWAT 4 (such as a sniper overlook), it is BY FAR the closest I have ever seen to a spiritual sequel. Even in its barebone state, just having a score for each mission type is enough for me to enjoy it. I've been trying to do better and better each time. I'm so surprised at how good this is, AND I can play it with friends as well! It's been so, so long since we've had a title like this, I'm really happy with it!

This game hits such a spot it’s unreal. I played SWAT 4 until just a few years ago because there was nothing like it. I just want official mod tools now.

I love this game so far but man I can't wait for when they update the AI. I've put in probably 15 singleplayer attempts and a few coop attempts at the gas station hostage rescue scenario and the absolute best mission rating I've seen was a B rating and 2 out of 3 hostages surviving. The AI reaction times are just insane. Like, you peek the door and toss in a flashbang and by the time the bang goes off all of the hostages are dead. Anyway I haven't played a game this tense in a long time. It's great.

There was an AI mod linked in the airgoons discord. I successfully set it up in about 5 minutes and we have done a few runs with it. It seems to smooth out the AI responsiveness, and improve gameplay by fine tuning a few parameters.

Does the AI mod let you control lethal trap spawns? They’re honestly the most unfun part of the game. They’re easy but tedious to counter - having to wand every door is not a fun or interesting gameplay mechanic

You can edit the file to your liking however. http://kronzky.info/ron/aimod.html In coop only the host needs to run it.

I still can't believe I am playing basically an updated SWAT 4 in 2021. Except now I absolutely hate everything about the police, but it makes for amazing team gameplay.

Wow, some of these enemies just do not give a gently caress and will try anything and everything to get you. https://i.imgur.com/NsBho7V.mp4 The extra fun part is that I've also seen suspects do the exact same reach for a gun as they surrender, but then they apparently think better of it and just finish surrendering. You really gotta stay on your toes if you want to get those arrests.

Perestroika posted:Wow, some of these enemies just do not give a gently caress and will try anything and everything to get you. I was trying to do a single player LTL run to get an S ranking on the drug house last night. I cleared a room full of compliant civilians but didn't cuff any of them because I knew an armed suspect was in the next room and the door was open so we rushed in and apprehended the suspect. When I returned to the previous room 1 of the 3 civs was just gone, 1 was bolting out the door with a tec-9 in hand and the other was still compliant. Anyway, we cleared a previously cleared nearby room and 2 of my guys get killed through the wall by the tec-9 civilian hiding in the corner of the adjoining bathroom. The shooting through the walls thing really makes non lethal runs.... impossible? Anyway still love the game.

Steak posted:I haven't tried it yet. I suppose there's no harm in trying it. You can switch between teams and tell them to start restraining people. If you know an armed dude is in the next room you can bang for some time and get your AI to arrest everyone very quickly. Had the same situation. Pain in the rear end.

If there's strong interest I can set up channels and roles for the game in the Co-op Gaming Goons discord. I was pretty hesitant with the thin blue line rhetoric I was seeing from the devs, but this thread has convinced me otherwise.

Game feels great so far. Has a different feel compared to Ground Branch which is a game in a similar vein to this. I still prefer Ground Branch cause the customization in it is excellent. But this game holds up.

I do hope they'll go and touch up animations a bit more over the course of development. Right now they tend to look kind of unnatural and can be hard to parse, particularly if a guy is actually about to shoot you. I think that's one of the reasons why the current meta seems to lean towards "shoot on sight". https://i.imgur.com/nZKZ2po.mp4

In a game where every split second analyzing movements counts, you can't really half-rear end stuff like that.

Ground Branch is the successor to original Rainbow Six games like Rogue Spear. It's "bullet, meet face"-type. There's no yelling and no arrests. Ready or Not is about Police Quest and SWAT games with similar pace, but different end goals. They scratch a different itch for me, both are nice.

Right now the AI just needs tweaking. If I flashbang a door guys shouldn't stream out shooting the second the flash leaves my hand.

An American dev making a game like this in 2021 is insane but kiwis that don't have the same issues as we do, at least not so visibly. They're just making a cop movie game. I guess it's more acceptable if they aren't flagbeaters like a lot of the fans, but if I end up getting this again I'm probably going to stick to playing with goons or friends because even if the devs aren't chuddy their fanbase sure as hell is.

Oh huh, turns the overpenetration is really pretty significant when you take the bigger guns. I usually run with the SA58 cause why not, and apparently I just managed to shoot past an armed suspect, through a door, through a wall, into the head of an unfortunate civilian  . I guess that's one more point in favour of shotguns and SMGs.

This seems pretty reasonable for their first update. Glad to see an AK74u variant, was kinda worried we’d be limited by “GRR THATS NOT A GUN THAT AN LAPD SWAT TEAM WOULD USE” but this seems to stomp that out!

I like how they complain about bad cop things and then also complain about getting punished for not following RoE. They do have a point about some of the dumber assets and voice lines, but the guy definitely came in ready to write a hit piece, unwilling to just say, "Hey, it's a great tactical shooter, but here's some stuff that's a bit hosed".

I'm relatively convinced that the devs are lovely people for a bunch of reasons and the whole theme of the game is problematic as hell in this day in age. But the latter is pretty much on the tin and no one's going to argue against it so whatever and the former is something you can't really do much about. So lmao at games journalism, above all else.

The SWAT stuff is but unfortunately the lovely reach of crazy people on the internet is much much further still. Them being New Zealanders doesn't mean they can't be racists or misogynist dickheads or what have you. That said I don't really want to drag this thread down litigating that stuff, it bothers me but the world is awash in stupid people who believe stupid poo poo so I'm just gonna play the video game.
