Let's say there's a room in front of you and there are baddies inside.

Maybe the first time you encountered no enemies in the first room you entered but, the second time, you could be facing three armed guys in that same initial room, forcing you to take a different course of action.Īnything can happen in this game and there are plenty of options to take for each kind of scenario. The magic of S4 lies in the fact that no operation will ever be the same twice so, everytime you play, things will surely not happen in the same way they happened before.

To succesfully complete a mission you have to fill a scoreboard, which will depend on a number of specific tasks: taking care of suspects with the least ammount of lethal force (incapasitated or arrested), rescuing hostages uninjured, collecting evidence left by the suspects and getting your element with the least ammount of injuries by the end of the mission.

You have to draw upon real police tactics to get things properly done, otherwise, you'll fail.Īt all times you're followed by 5 teammates (element) and, occasionally, snipers. A swat member who enters a room shooting everyone without a previous warning is not a good swat member. Thing is, in this game, you have to keep things as cool as possible. After that, you proceed to select your equipement: primary gun, secondary handgun, granades and gadgets. You can also check the timeline of the events and the 911 calls respective to each mission, to get even more info on the matter. Before starting every mission you're given a little briefing: explaining what's the situation, who are the people involved, what's the number of suspects and civilians on the place, and selecting the point-of-entry for the team to take. What makes it such a thing is it's high level of grounded realism, both in the shooting mechanics and the way that this operations have to be handled. You see, S4 is not only a first-person/ tactical shooter, it's also a simulator. But, even with that description alone, it doesn't really explain what playing SWAT 4 is really like. There's really no other game like it, a game that will put you in the shoes of the leader of a swat team who's job is, of course, to take care of various high-risk operations involving violent confrontations with dangerous criminals, terrorists attacks and hostage takings. SWAT 4 is the peak of 'tactical shooters'.
