Lets discuss this great game. What makes it so good?
>>334803052
SWAT 1 & 2 was better.
>>334803052
Sure, if you like point and click adventures
>>334803052
It was a good cop game.
We have so few.
Also, in your my way sir.
>>334803052
Because you actually play as a SWAT team with rules, you can't just kill everyone. You need to confiscate and secure evidence, and make sure hostages are safe, the only bad thing about this is if one hostage dies, everything gets called off.
Or well, you can continue, but the mission will fail regardless at that point.
>>334804616
I usually shoot my squad then restart
you're in my way, sir.
>>334803052
Never played this game but does anyone else know/remember this game because of spoonys playthrough
You know.. back when he hadjoy
>>334803052
Needs sequels that tackle more on open area/urban street scenarios.
>>334803052
I only played Swat 3
>>334805654
I'd played SWAT 4 before Spoony's LP.
But it's interesting to see Good Spoony switch to Shitty Spoony mid-playthrough.
Like the first few episodes are great and then it just devolves into YOU'RE IN MY WAY SIR circlejerking.
>>334804616
This.
>criminals pretending to drop guns, then shooting you in a split second
>criminals running off when left alone uncuffed
>criminals who surrendered picking up guns when you turn around
>criminals aiming at hostages and saying "I SWEAR I'M GONNA SHOOT!" when shit hits the fan
>>334805654
>>334805915
>muh youtube/whatever celebrities
you're pure cancer
>>334806325
Nothing feels better than mastering the command system.
>C4 door
>Flashbang
>Order red and blue to cuff the suspects in one swoop
The sniper system is pretty cool too, I don't remember if you get a penalty for shooting an armed suspect with one of them though. Since normally they need to take aim for you to be justified in shooting them.
Only thing I hate is breaching
The team position themselves in dumb ways when breaching most of the times and they're take ten fucking years before they throw the stinger/bang/gas
Like sometimes they'll go one guy on the left of the door and one guy on the right but the door has the hinge on the left so the moment the breaching nigger on the right blasts the the lock or opens the door and the nigger on the left who's suppose to throw the explosives gets blasted by the niggers inside the room the moment the door opens.
Or how they take like 5 seconds after they shout FREEZE before shooting suspects that don't comply.
>>334807134
If you see that there are suspects near the door in inconvenient places you're better off using C4 so you can do it from a distance, and then flashbang/gas it yourself.
>>334806791
It'll never count as unauthorized use of (deadly) force, but in the long run it'll cost you points for not zipcuffing the guys outright. You can't 100/100 a mission like that.

>>334806791
Only annoyance was commanding a team further away using the headcam, but once coordinated, sweet.
Regarding the sniper I also don't remember but they were very useful when a criminal was standing too close to/behind the hostage, you could take him out a moment before breaching.
I wish grenade throwing was quicker, the delay between door opening/c4 and actual grenade throwing sometimes meant the hostage was a goner, basically >>334807134.
You could always prepare a grenade yourself and have them just breach but still.
>>334807286
>want to do it on hard
>limited to peppergun/beanbag shotgun
Time to reinstall.
>>334807868
>Uninstalling it
>Ever
You do know there's a mega map pack? Damn near unlimited fun. Quality between maps vary though.
>>334805795
I prefered 4, but I think I remember a paintball mode in 3. Was that real or am I mixing it up with something else? I was pretty young.
POLICE
DROP THE WEAPON AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR
DO IT NOW
>>334803079
SWAT 2 would be pretty cool if it wasn't for the horrendous UI and AI.
I loved this game but had shit friends, we'd all take taser and even before going through the first door everyone would just tase each other and nothing would get done.
>>334807286
>not sniping the perp in the hand, forcing him to drop the weapon

Oh man, thank you. Got the gold edition sitting in my drawer right now, but I remember running into some problems on Windows 8 a year or two ago, also got disappearing text in widescreen resolution.

for shame dawg
>>334809305
Here's some useful into on installation, as well as how to open and play the maps with AI, since the readme is lacking.
http://induktio.net/wiki/Beginners_Guide
For example as it says there you can only play with AI on maps that is 'SP'.
And here is some other good information for graphical tweaks, etc:

>>334809350
>willingly incurring penalties for not arresting everyone
Too "gamey" for you?
>>334810024
No, too gamey is unrealistically exploiting game mechanics.
If you have to shoot, shoot center to neutralize the threat. LTL and OC are always options, as are stingers and flashes prior to entry. Shooting means you've fucked up, but even if you fuck up you still have to resolve the situation.
How's the multiplayer?
Does this work?

Reminds me of golden age spoony.
*Sigh* Why did he have to turn into such a loser?
>>334803052
>What makes it so good?
Definitely not the horrendous AI.
>>334811216
Me and my friends would just go through GameRanger and it worked fine.
>>334805572You're in my spot
>>334811263
Already fragile mental state + extremely toxic fanbase + inablility to handle his popularity with his peak + clashes with his coproducers
>>334811731
You forgot getting cucked by his former girlfriend.
>>334803052
SWAT3 is better
SWAT, HANDS IN THE AIR
SWAT 5 when?
>>334812072
Once Sierra is back on its feet.
>>334812072
Never. Unless it's crowdfunded and developed by competent people
>>334803052
The fact that your goal isn't shooting everything to death. The non lethal ammo kind of breaks the game though.
>>334812405
>Unless it's crowdfunded and developed by competent people
Good thing you mentioned "developed by competent people", I was about to mention Takedown: Red Sabre.
>>334812405
>>334812072
>>334812546
God, imagine if there would be perks, XP and other shit like that. Or if the maps were linear instead of having multiple entry ways to a real building.
>>334812710

I have a feeling this would be SWAT 2016 edition.
>>334813595
>>334813165Weapons and equipment gradually gets unlocked as you complete the campaign.There's no limb damage system.
I mean these are all generic fears, but in these times you can never be sure.
>>334803052
>throw a flash bang in a room
>storm it and unload my non - lethal shotgun a point blank at the stunned dude's face
>demand surrender
>he shoots me in the face
Non - lethal in this game is bugged as fuck.
>>334814032
If you play non-lethal enough times you will realize there are some enemies that never surrender. You'd have to taze them in order to arrest them.
A Swat game with voice command would be kewl.
>>334811263
I feel you bro
Now he just makes shitty let's plays and wrestlemania
>>334813595
>door breaches now have slow mo
>sudden QTEs
>game has final boss, which is beaten by QTE and/or slow mo shooting
There's a reason why dead games should stay dead.
>>334814168
That's bad design man
>>334813970Get a gold medal on every level to unlock a new compliance yell
>>334810335
Just use beanbags. Shoot as much as you want. Center mass if you can't hit neck.
To everyone else - try the SSF mod. That shit makes game even MORE hardcore.
>>334814649
No it's not, some criminals are willing to die for their cause and will never surrender.
>>334814649
Yeah. Especially in the Fairfax or Children of Taronne Tenement.
Sick fucks and cultists usually just comply and give up.
>>334815274
If the dude is a terrorist or something I can understand but I've run into this too many times in that gang war mission on the night club.
And even if the guy is fueled by a cause he should at least be neutralized by the pure force and pain of rubber bullets to the face.
>>334814692
Start off with "POLICE! ON THE GROUND!"
Then "GET ON THE FLOOR, FUCKO!"
Then "YOU COCKSUCKER MOVE AND I'LL BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!"
All those are voiced by Ron Perlman.
>>334815725
He could be on drugs tho. Plenty of this happened to take the edge off in a tense situation IRL.
Like, the North Hollywood Shootout.
>>334815920
I can understand how it works in real life, but when you put it in a game having enemies that can ignore some game mechanics with no clear indication that they can is bad game design.
Usually enemies that are immune to stuff in games are clearly different from regular enemies.
>>334816241
I just look at it like an obstacle that my team has to overcome. Let the coroners office sort it out, if it swings that way. As a team leader my job is to bring my team back in one piece.
>>334816469
>As a team leader my job is to bring my team back in one piece
i wish i could on the hotel level, everything just went to shit so quickly I ended up being the only one alive
>>334816546
What happened?
>>334816604
team mate AI was to slow to react to someone who was stunned and they ended up taking down 2. later on at the last bomb there was a cheeky guy where once again the team mate AI failed react. one of my arms was already hurt so shooting straight wasn't an option
>>334816469
Sure, but that doesn't fly if you're going for a non - lethal game.
>>334812710

i love them
>>334817427
Fairfax was the creepy shit alright.
