SWAT 4: Gold Edition

I was obsessed with this game back in the day. I really hope the multiplayer is alive and kicking as it was great. Even if it isn’t it’s well worth the cash.

Is it difficult? Yes, but it all feels fair. You have so many options as outlined by the in-depth tutorial, and so many of them are easy to access quickly (most of the squad commands come from literally holding down the right mouse button and scrolling down a list) your only excuse for a mission gone bad is usually impatience. You've got the tools, a great team A.I, and plenty of choices to accomplish your goals. It seldom feel like you got shortchanged by RNG or bad A.I or technical issues but more like you made the wrong call, and that's the way a SWAT game should feel. It is incredibly satisfying to shout down a perp, zip tie them, and collect their weapons for evidence as much as it is suspenseful to open each new door or have a running suspect open fire from the shadows. A large variety of missions, tons of dialogue both humorous and dramatic, effective music that changes according to scenarios and level of danger, and tight gun controls that makes it one of the best fire-from-the-hip FPS games I've ever played. If you like cops, action, squad mechanics, gadgets, a variety of load outs and situations, you can't go wrong.

I played the game and the expansion to the end and I had a lot of fun, it's cheap, it's fun and it worked right away on my PC (I had to edit a file to make it 4k res but it's understandable from an old game). I definitely recommend this game to anyone that likes shooters.

Even though this game was released in 2005, it's still one of the best, if not the best, tactical shooters.

i love it its the only game i know of that is a realistic swat shooter. Recommend it!
