SWAT 4: Gold Edition

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.

I bought this game after i saw one video about it on Youtube. This game is absolutely amazing. You NEED to play this game tactical or you gonna lose hard. The missions are all unique and despite the graphics the gameplay is also very good. Please buy this game if you like tactical shooters. Not to forget the games is not always about killing suspects. You get more points if you restrain them without killing.

Good game.

This game required you to read more than you think. It's might be critical information that lead to mission failure or you might ended up in unknown situation. And yes, there is a bug but cool to have game. It's graphic might be not so real but game is still a game. Try challenging this game together with friends without using Discord but in-game voice chat instead that will irritate you but more realistic in chatting.

Tactical FPS, lead a five man SWAT team into some more realistic scenarios and some ridiculous ones. You end up going against cultist, a Christian anti rock group, white supremacist, and militant farmers along with some more generic robberies gone wrong or a failed assassination attempt. Lethal and nonlethal weapons and gear can be equipped to each character. You can order both teams of two separately or together and can see through a camera in your hud to see what they to a sniper team sees. Tense gameplay, though some odd decisions when it comes to needing to handcuff civilians who often don't want to surrender (I guess because they don't give you enough people to get them out of the building) requiring you to have a taser or pepper spray to make them surrender. Same odd moments when enemies refuse to drop their weapon when they are blinded or hit by gas and surrounded by your team. A lot of detail spent on each mission when it comes to the locations, briefing, environment design, and creating areas that work well with the mechanics that have changes from difficulty and randomization. Very good to very questionable AI. Expansion makes improvements when it comes to order, equipment, and an added melee button that is used more to stop the odd never surrendering situations. Anything above the easy difficulty requires you to finish a set mission with a certain score with points earned for completing it, not being wounded, not losing each member of your team, picking up all evidence and guns, reporting everything, capturing or wounding instead of killing anyone. With points lost if you injure one of the other SWAT members or injure or kill any armed suspects that aren't threatening you (or in most cases that are clearly threatening you and might have just killed multiple people, clearly not an accurate police representation. Mods can combine the main and expansion campaigns, add widescreen and 1080, add in cut content like traps, and there are player made map packs
