everything is too fast at 144 hertz, and it's annoying to set the desktop refresh rate lower each time you want to play. Also, don't expect any conviences in this, it's an emulator and you can't rebind the controls. HOW
TLDR: (if you are new to SWAT) Pick this up for a truly unique first person experience. Decisions matter, equipment changes your gameplay, and following the rules of law enforcement make SWAT4 feel fresh to this day. TLDR: (if you know what it is) If SWAT4 is on your computer since it wasn’t on sale anywhere, now’s the time to give the game the attention it deserves. This game is extremely unique. By nature of its premise, violence carries much more weight and meaning. As a law enforcement officer, rather than a CTU like in Rainbow 6, there are strict guidelines for engagements. Each moment you must make split second decisions of the meaning of protecting and serving. Does it mean taking a life? Does it mean waiting for compliance and risking death? It’s up to you, and your actions will severely impact your score. You might be wondering, why get this over SWAT3? There’s many more items to take in SWAT4 which drastically change the way you play. The non-lethal options are expanded greatly ins SWAT4, and this is extended more with mods. PICK THIS UP. Most other payment options before were wrapped discs from its original box release, and many go for over a hundred dollars. Having this on GOG for 10 bucks is a steal. Speaking of stealing (ok, not stealing but copying) if you picked this up as abandonware, then I would suggest buying this to legitimize your love for this game. I believe that showing interest in SWAT4 and games like it with your money is the best way to encourage their development. If this game gets insane sales on GOG then developers might know that there’s a demand for challenging shooters with unique rules and gameplay. Sure, you may already have access to the experience, but nothing shows confidence in a product or idea like money.
