SWAT 4: Gold Edition

I got into this game after i originally purchased Ready or Not and heard from many players that this game is what ready or not is based off of. This game is truly amazing. I have probably put in maybe 150 hours into this game and it is truly amazing. I also would recommend the SEF mod for Swat 4 look it up on Moddb.

Very good game, specially with mods. I'm using the Elite Force one, but unfortunetly it doesn't add to GOG play time because the mod uses another executable, so I may have around 5 hours by the time of this review (bought it 2 days ago)

• download the 1080p fullscreen mod • download the Server Browser mod • downlaod either or all MODs: - First Responders - Swat Elite Force

I have never been so excited to see a video game for sale. SWAT 4, one of the best tactical shooters of all time, is no longer abandoned. I have never hit purchase so fast in my life.

This game was phenomenal when it was released and it still holds up really well. The graphics have definitely aged, but the gameplay is something that has been drowned out by the cover based shooter fair of recent "tactical" shooters. Even so, everything about this game still feels right so right, everything from stacking your team in the right place and ordering a simultaneous entry, flashbangs, gas grenades flying, and you and your team yelling for people to drop weapons, followed by the swift arrest of everyone in the room. Although there's a limit to maps, perps and hostages are randomised, coupled with the quick mission maker and you have many hours of fun. A few recommended ways of playing this- 1) Play the expansion, it has added more depth to commands and loadout than the original plus you can still play the original missions via quick mission maker 2) Use the quick mission maker in Stechkov and create a scenario pack with all the maps in from the original right through to the expansion. That way you can play through everything much more quickly. Don't forget to keep everything as campaign settings. It's a real shame that you can't play online for this anymore, because the multiplayer was amazing (me held as a vip hostage and the douche terrorist team constantly flashbanging while I try to crawl away was oddly hilarious) Get this game, it's probably the last of its kind- a genuine tactical first person shooter, done right.
