Description
SWAT 4: Gold Edition includes both the base game and its expansion, SWAT 4: The Stetchkov Syndicate.

It’s not just about the badge, it’s about the rush.

The adrenaline is always high as you carry on the legendary SWAT® tradition – leading an elite squad of tactical experts into hard-hitting action that delves deeply into every detail of the experience. In a city rife with armed felons and explosive situations, only the unique skills of your men will do – because when SWAT gets the call, there is no other option.

Enter the tense, gritty, explosive world that is business as usual for SWAT®. SWAT 4 gives you easy control over advanced strategic and tactical tools. Plan missions. Deploy your team. Take down dangerous criminals. And in the SWAT 4 Expansion Pack, you get additional weaponry, equipment and even greater challenges. It all adds up to a rush so intense, it could only be SWAT.

  • Exploding with action: 21 intense missions in fully-detailed environments.
  • Vast Arsenal: From deadly assault rifles and powerful shotguns to less-than-lethal stun guns.
  • Advantageous Equipment: Variety of tools available to observe, access, and control situations.
  • Play with Others: Numerous CO-OP and competitive multiplayer modes extend replayability.
  • Quick Mission Maker: Create detailed custom missions for yourself and your friends.

Multiplayer Notice: The game's official online multiplayer servers have been shut down. Multiplayer is only available via Direct IP and LAN connection.

Install the mod 'First Responders'

Excellent game, although the AI may feel a bit poor at times compared to 3. The randomisation element adds alot of replayability. I highly recommend you Install SFR: SWAT First Responders. The mod is a real game changer, massivley improves the experience

One of the best games of all time

Absolutely love this game.. I can play it over and over. I really wish they'd make a remastered / sequel to SWAT 4! Highly replayable due to the fact that enemies are in different locations every time you play, so you never know what situation you're getting into. There are some frustrating times in the game, for sure. You can be 30 minutes into a level, almost complete, and some guy comes out of nowhere and kills you with one shot. But all in all, one of the best ever!

Amazing with Mods

After seeing the launch of Ready or Not I felt like playing SWAT 4: Gold Edition. It's a 2005 game and in the mechanics it shows, no aiming from the crosshairs and no way to eliminate mouse acceleration. Fortunately there are mods on Moddb that modernize the game: Elite Forces, Elite Forces First Responders; Back To Los Angeles (you only need to install one of the three). I am playing Elite Forces First Responders, which I recommend. But the thing I wanted to talk about is the unsurpassed ability to convey the authenticity of the game setting through the use of spectacular level design.

Install SWAT ELITE FORCE mod

Just FYI, a new mod for SWAT4 has been released. Makes 1920x1080 of course a given, but improved AI, unlocking weapons, makes bugs disappear. It's the SEF mod - SWAT ELITE FORCE. I highly, highly recommend it

SWAT 4 is here ;)

Do i really need to write an overly extensive review for this gem? If you are here on GOG and looking for this game than you probably know what's good :).
