SWAT 4: Gold Edition

Be a true teamlead Overcome random enemies spots (can't cheat by save/load) Honor many complex mechanics preventing you from shooting (civilians, score for almost every action) Regard smart and foxy AI (villain can start putting weapon to the ground and head shot you in next second) Enjoy truly unique tactical shooter!

Great tactical shooter, sadly there are not many servers left. To play it online you have to join via direct IP, you can get the IP from https://swat4stats.com/servers/ The greatest feature of this game is the VIP mode, where one player is the VIP and his team has to guide him to the extraction point, the other team has to capture him, and keep him caputed for 2 minutes. The game really focuses a lot on cooperation and tactics, just great

When it comes together, I think SWAT 4 begins to float up as one of my favourite Games. The scenario's are varied and have unexpectedly good world building (This was Irrational after all). The sound design is a partcilcuar highlight of the 'sim' aspect; with detailed briefing phases and 911 calls that have a great immersive quality to them. The tactics are easy to grasp and uncomplicated, in the sense that everything is easy to execute; save for some bad A.I at times. I Highly recomend the 'Elite Force' mod to go with it. Which basically acts as an 'HD remaster' adding some quality of life improvements. This is a damn good Game despite the occasional times your Teammates act dumb; which is my only complaint.

This game is gold and very well made.

I think that most people will easily agree that this game is one of the best tactical shooters ever made. This is a tactical shooter from back when that meant something. It picks at your brain. It forces you to make decisions that have a measurable impact on the outcome, and forces you to adapt to changing conditions. Tactics dictate success and failure, not your ability to make headshots. You play as the leader of a SWAT team. As lead, you actually don't do a whole lot of the shooting. You spend most of the time in the rear, giving orders to your AI teammates. The team AI does a pretty good job too - they have some limitations, but you can trust them to do things "right". Because you operate within the constraints of being a police officer, this adds another "layer" to the challenge: gunning down everything that moves is NOT an option here. There are rules that must be followed, and you are penalized for not doing that. It is a pretty unique kind of game. If you love tactical shooters, you should add this one to your collection. Despite its age, it is still a superb game and very playable. Truly deserving of the "good old game" designation. Do note that the base game is pretty flawed, which detracts from the whole experience. To fully enjoy this game, you should install the "SWAT: Elite Force" mod - it vastly improves the game.
