Default SWAT 4 and the urge to tazer...

So I was thinking about picking this game up from work today. Couple of questions first though....

Are the single player missions good? Is that alone enough to get the game?

And online play is that good?

What about this game still has you playing it?

What do you like about it most?

Is it worth the 50 bucks?

Mmm

Well I guess it depends on what you like. I have always liked the CQB type games and this certainly has a focus on that. There is a lot more emphasis on controlling your team in the single player game than on what you personally do. One thing in the single player game I will say is that I have trouble integrating myself in the team in the way way I should. It does seem that either you are doing it all or the team is and not much in-between.

As far as online well I have basically only played co-op and mostly with the guys from TOG so I can't really comment on the general online run. It is a game that rewards teamwork and I would strongly suggest that for online you would want to be involved in a team rather than a pub approach.

All in all I really like the game but I liked SWAT 3 also. I think there is a lot of scope to develop with a team, try to imitate real tactics etc than with most games out there and I would have to say that this aspect is what will probably keep me coming back. Especially as we seem to have a few guys who are likely to be regulars building some understanding and seeing us begin to move around the maps in a more organised way is very cool. When you do an entry to the room and head in the direction you are supposed to go, see an enemy, ignore him cause he is not in your arc and your mate comes throught the door right behind you and takes him out it is very nice indeed. My vote is give it a go. Don't blame me if you don't like it though If you can be around at the right times it would be well worth having a go with us. Father can teach you the gentle art of tasering restrained suspects

I think the SP game is good. Not as good as MP but still good. Is it enough? Yes IMO - but I've such a craving I may be biased!

The fact that you need to think. Weird huh. The object is to save lives, not just to gun down everyone you see.
