Any of you guys tried SWAT 4?

I'm lovin' it. Might be one of the first tac-shooters whose single-player
campaign I'll actually play all of the way through. Delta Force being
another, if I remember correctly. And No One Lives Forever, which is pretty
darn tactical.

80% of the servers up are coop, but the # of players in COOP is 5, while it
is quite a bit more than that for other MP types.

The MP is fun. In Escort the V.I.P. playing the VIP (randomly chosen) is
fun, 'cause you can try to escape the suspects who have to hold you for 2
minutes before they execute you.

There are some serious things needing fixing in MP, though.

I've uploaded a video I made to http://www.atwar.net/

SWAT4: Shooter with a Heart, it is called.

Find 5 minutes, lose 5 hours.

The single-player is good but the coop is especially fun, if you have a good
team. : )

And user-made maps are already on the way. One guy made a "flashlight tag"
map. Very dark.

I absolutely love SWAT 4.. It's been tough trying to get a good group
of people together to play it. We run a Co-Op SWAT 4 server at
TacticalGamer.com. It's not bad when you've got some good teammates,
but it only takes one idiotic run & gunner to mess up the whole game.

If you're interested in some good tactical play and willing to use
TeamSpeak to community, come check out our site and join us for some
games. We're always looking for good people to play with.

SWAT 4 is a tactical first-person shooter. It is based off the
weaponry and methodology of a real-world SWAT team. The gameplay tends
to be much slower and more calculating than your traditional FPS and
requires a team strategy to actually succeed in a multiplayer
environment.

You are scored based on your proficiency in completing the levels.
Running around like a madman with an M4, MP5, G36 or other assault
weapon and killing everything in sight will not result in you being
rewarded but most likely in a mission failure.

It's a great game. Especially if you're into the whole
teamplay/tactics/strategy thing.

Is is like Rainbow Six 3? I like R6--it's a great game. But I do find the
planning to get tedious at times (sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it).

So, would you say SWAT 4 is akin to Rainbow Six 3?

It's Raven Shield with a Heart. You've got tactical flashlights on some
weapons and less-than-lethal alternatives to lead-throwers.

The A.I. is sooooo much better.

What about the planning? Do you have to plan out missions like in R6-3, or
do you just go in with a squad (akin to Raven Shield on Terrorist Hunt
mode)?

Once you've had a quick look at the usually vague floor plans of the
target building and assigned gear to your team it's straight into the
action - so yes it's quicker than R6 in that sense

I had to replay that one 2 or 3 times as well.

It's quite like the hospital in Max Payne, but the mission is easier.

Anyway *hint* the trick when choosing an entry point is to choose one that
will bring you in behind the enemy if possible, and definately allow you to
clear the area step by step without having to retrace your footsteps. In
other words, enter on the top or bottom floor only and move room by room.
Don't leave the floor unattended since the perp's will move around.
