I mean, after playing some of RoN recently, I'm all for the slower pace, but it'd be nice if they did add a jog button. The slow speed is nice and all, but it's pretty immersion breaking when you can hear an active shooter in adjacent room and the swat team is just taking their sweet time to get in and protect civilians.
This game provides endless hours of co-op fun and the mods are amazing. I won't be needing ready or not with a while. Considering how good the SEF mod is, I wonder whether ready or not will meet the quality of SWAT 4.
@@MrDamanxxx it's good yes, but since it's an early access i don't feel the urge to throw to much hours in to the game until more content comes for it. Im happy though the devs learnt their lesson since that game was in such shitstorm earlier because how the handled the game devlopement of it, now it's on the right track
One of my all time favorite games as a kid/teen. I still remember how uneasy I felt going through Fairfax Residence and how gut wrenching it was at the end. I remember constantly replaying missions except for Fairfax which I avoided redoing for a very long time. And yet I can probably remember the layout better than any other map and I can remember his name is Lawrence but I can’t recall a single other suspect name lol It’s sort of a shame that it’s one of the earlier missions because it set a level of expectation that the other missions just can’t reach even though some have great atmosphere. Hope you’ve been able to pick up and enjoy Ready or Not. It’s pretty great and even though it’s not exactly the follow up to SWAT 4 I’ve been waiting for I know it eventually will be.
I agree with you, fairfax is one of those levels that just sticks with you, I can't remember a whole lot from other levels, but this is one that will always stick with me. I have indeed picked up ready or not and loving it, one of my latest video talks about it and compares it to Swat 4 in some regards
Swat 4 was insanely intuitive for its time, it had realism, weapon sounds that sound like real weapons, and serious charm with all the pre mission stuff, absolutely love this game btw ADS in swat 4 is fucking cursed and I'm installing that mod as soon as I can
SWAT 4 was a nice game for it's time. I remember playing this and having the same feeling over the Fairfax Residence. The thing is, I didn't even know English at the time and the mood of the level told me the story. That's insane... Although I bought RoN, I had to install the mod that brings back SWAT 4 Voice Lines. The voices in this game were so damn good, man... It's hard for RoN to compete but I think they've been doing a good job so far.
One thing I dislike about this game is how it takes away points for deadly force. 10:11 Every police agency in the world would say that's fair use of deadly force.
eh I think it's to make the game a little more challenging and to make those do or die moments a little more internse, yeah in real world you hold a gun and any indication you'll use it will result in you being mag dumped *looks over at America but I also don't blame them lmao*
Playing this game without using your team mates on the hardest difficulty will make you wonder just how bad the public is at shooting guns, because if they were half as good as the AI in this game we'd have no cops in our inner cities.
last time I heard inner city cops already have a staffing issue lol, but in this game pretty sure general people have poorer aim than the AI on the hospital map considering they're real soldiers, but if the AI couldn't shoot for shit then the game would be too easy imo.
When I say "high replay value" this game instantly comes to my mind as the perfect example. I definitely need to replay it with all the modern mods, which I didn't have back in the day.
@@Tantwo i dont know. i guess the dated graphics/audio and creepy level designs like the one about the serial kidnapper make the game feel more eerie and immersive. also the massive amount of bugs in ready or not lol
@@robothecoolguy I was high af when I played that mission. I was fully immersed and scared shitless lol. It honestly felt Uber realistic. Wish I could brainwash myself and do it again
As a kid living in an ugly neighborhood this game scared the soul out of me I remember having nightmares with this game. My friend even told me swat used this game for training purposes in real life 😂
try SWAT 4 FR (first responders) and SWAT 4 BTLA(back to LA) instead of SEF7, they are its evolution idsay, new version of FR that was released very recently, new features like lean and walk (at the sametime) were added in, kinda is a game changer
I played swat 3, 4, ready or not. My best game is still the swat 3 because swat3 AI is crazy, they check corners, react fast, throw flashbang correctly, use cover , they use handcuffs automatically when mate cover for him. and also the game is fast! not as slow as turtle like 4 or ready or not. Swat 3 has stealth mod and dynamic mod to control speed. I believe swat 3 is better than rainbow six. However I love swat 4 too. increased graphic, great maps, 911 call and briefing, nice voice act, multiplay and coop play is good but slow walk speed, opti-wand make game slower, stupid AI, can't shoot even they run into you because of penalty etc... Ready or not is worst. great graphic, gun sound is amazing, effects are cool but AI is worst. voice acting is like me with hangover, no briefing no 911 no map, still opti-wand exist, still slow as turtle, if one or two suspect are running around the map so you have to look for them to clear stupid mission but searching the 1 or 2 suspect with slow movement speed is torture, collecting dropped gun make gameplay slower... I can't believe RoN is 2021 game. I think Arma3 AI is better than RoN AI.
loved playing Swat 4 back in the 2000s same with the Elite Force mod, the AI did range, from being the greatest MVPs you didn't know you need, to the most derp bots (the problem is because the AI is trying to focus on everything at once, walking, looking at doors, being at the ready for perpetrators, assisting the player), and man, we've been waiting for Ready Or Not since 2017, alot were thinking it was a scam, and the Multiplayer event was poorly executed with many feeling disappointed, though i'm really happy that RON is actually legit
Now im 21, once when i was like 14years old i remember at game center i just saw swat and i didnt play that,untill now,after i played it just noticed how great is swat i was like wtf how couldnt i play it untill now...
I'd recommend SEF first responders mod, it updates the textures for 1080p, new weapons and mechanics, but do play the original first so you can experience how it was originally intended
Great post, SWAT4 is one of the best or the best SWAT games ever made. RainbowSix 3: Raven Shield comes real close, SWAT4 is way better. I always enjoy adding all the SWAT4 map mods to my Ready or Not series.
Swat 4 is the most tactical game i feel like im an swat on news tv And i play any "tactical" game like call of duty and fallout I mean call of duty is fast phase and everytime we need to tactic The bots just doin it and it removes the tactical feel on the game And fallout i mean yeah its an tactical because of an tactics to do But its an rpg game with guns And the tactical on fallout feels not tactical And then swat 4 released I like swat 4 because the scheme and places looks so perfect yet so right I feeling like i need to do the right thing like clearing section and choosing the right thing to do and also making me choose between lethal and non lethal With the sef mod Overall great game 10/10 What is your playstyle? I play pacifist no killing is allowed
I really love this game, it is my favourite game of all time and I also love your channel, but I just need to say some things about this video. first, I don't like the swat elite force mod because it makes the game easier. you can take way more shots than you could in the original and it doesn't add enough for that to be justified. it has more problems than just that though. the elite force mod also makes Fairfax residence the first mission in single player. in the original, the first mission was a Rush Hour inspired, action packed, shootout that was more movie-like. and the second mission (fairfax residence) was a wakeup call to the player that swat teams see very disturbing and real things, not everything is a light-hearted shootout. but this is completely ruined by swat elite force. second thing: you CAN shoot everyone, you will be punished heavily if you do not follow the rules of engagement, but you CAN do it, this is really important because this game is built heavily off of choice and its important that people understand that they have agency in this game. the game also punishes you more than just the final score when you massacre people, if you just shoot suspects, they will get more violent, aggressive, and less likely to surrender, this is because swat 4's suspect AI works on a system called "moral number", the moral number cannot be seen in game without cheats, but how it works is that suspects are more likely to surrender with a lower moral number, but if the moral number is negative than they become more violent and it must be raised to make them more likely to surrender, a suspect CAN surrender with any number of moral but they are most likely to surrender when it is at 0 and they are least likely to surrender when it is at 100 or -100. minus numbers are when suspects are the most neurotic and violent but less lethal can be used to raise their moral but ONLY when they are in the minus and it is less effective than if they we're a positive number. if the suspects moral is a positive number than the less-lethal will lower their moral and be more effective at it than if their moral was in the negative. this is how the game punishes violent behaviour from the player. (or players in co-op) (violent behaviour includes abusing less lethal weapons as well) also, civilians have a moral system but it doesn't go into the negative like the suspects do. third thing: the game is best played in co-op, the single player and pvp are both really good, but swat 4 is a primarily co-op game. you get more weapons and items in co-op (like the gasmask, heavy Armor, ak47, Uzi, and more) and the whole game is built around co-op. this is why the single player friendly AI is so bad when compared to the really good suspect AI. the single player was rushed because swat 4 came out in a time where a game wouldn't be coop only. so they had to force in a single-player mode. if you want the best experience, get some friends (or even just one friend) and play. some people say that swat 4's servers where "shut down" but these people have no idea what they are talking about because swat 4 never had official servers to shut down, the multiplayer menu simply stopped working. you can get around this and make your own servers by using the fan made swat4stats site, using Hamachi, port forwarding, lan, game-ranger, or just manually editing files to make the menu work again (there is a tutorial for this somewhere) so please, I urge you to play swat 4 in co-op. co-op is the way this game was intended to be played and it is super fun and way better than single player. but wait I have one more thing to say. I really don't like that Gmanlives said that the randomization was "unfair" there are ways to figure out where the suspects are. for one, there is this little thing called "high tower" he will check in on some missions and tell you if he sees a suspect, a bit like the snipers but he cant be controlled. most people don't notice High Tower because there is little to no player-driven interaction with him, he just calls in whenever he sees or loses a suspect and his messages can easily be overlooked in the sea of radio chatter between toc and the players, you can also you the Opti wand, snipers, and just listen for suspects. sorry for my long comment but I really love this game and I'm really dedicated to it. I just thought that some info from someone who knows this game so well might be interesting.
@@Elatenl I know this game well man and I can tell that the singe-player ai is bad because it was rushed. I actually have proof. for example, the single player cop AI are actually missing some features, like being able to use a grenade launcher correctly, things like the grenade launcher must be commanded to be used. there are other things too that point to the single-player being rushed, the co-op mode has more content like weapons and items, along side less bugs. swat 4's expansion was also rushed as the expansion's new weapons are much less polished with more stilted animations and such. back again to the single player ai. the devs tried to add a more complicated friendly ai but had much less time and only did half a job, the friendly ai works with a "last seen" system, where they will go to places/look at where suspects we're last seen or detected to clear them out and search for suspects and discarded guns. unfortunately, this means that they can get stuck looking at weird spots because their memory is stored in nodes that are placed on the map when something happens, this is also why they all funky around doors, because the cops are focusing on a door node. also know that the cop AI has a hard coded moral system (like suspects) that they do not use, this implies that the friendly cops where originally going to have moral like the suspects, but they didn't have time to add it fully so they just left the value as always blank, even if you do increase the value with cheats it doesn't work because it was never finished, because they have an unfinished moral system that might have made their ai work better, they act without "emotion" and just do everything exactly as the player/nodes say without any moral effecting them. this is why they charge into doorways to their doom and never retreat. plus I don't understand how me saying the AI was rushed was an "argument". I said the AI was bad, yet you seem to think that I was using some nonsense excuse to deflect criticism like a blinded fanboy. why do you think that anyways?
@@Elatenl You also dismiss my reasonable and factually true point with an immature and infantile "Yeah, no" it sounds more like something that George from Peppa Pig would say rather than a (presumably) functioning adult. your statement implies that we we're having some kind of heated argument but that is completely untrue, argumentative behaviour where there is no actual conflict is common amongst very small children who have little to no developed social skills, perhaps you are one of these small children? Please, don't act like everything is an argument. it will get you nowhere.
i stil play it specialy those with some mod it is stil great; like now i'm doing the challenge to get in each mission 100/100 score; done so far 42 missions
The biggest issue of the game is the fact that the game is ment to be played like your in a swat/counter terrorist unit carfully planing your aproch, stacking up on doors while one of you prepares to throw a flash and the other breaks the door open and fluidly enterinf the room watching all sides clearing the room tactically making callouts, flanking, taking your time, sticking together, that gameplay is impossable if 8 out of 10 players you come across ignore the tactics and just go in guns blazimg not keeping together and opening random doors to the point where they get double teamed by terroirsts , and confusing us on what areas we havent already checked causing players to run around in circles if everyone kept together that wouldent happen, also the non leathal options are usless considernimg nobody uses them and goes for killshots but also the fact that enimies barley surender. Seruously how hard is it to grab swat 4 take everything that game did and do it better, insted we got a game that takes two steps back in the gameplay and an up in graphics. Game looks good curently dosent play like its suppose to. Also on another note you run way to slow, how can i help a team mate thats in a gunfignt across the room if im walking snails paise ? Fix your shit devs fr
While i enjoy 3 a bit more, i cant deny Swat 4s amazing atmosphere and enviromental storytelling. And yeah... the gun sounds are REALLY bad. Especially the M4. Like... what the hell is that?!
I always hated the fucking bots. Most of the time they never listened. Which made me more trigger friendly mad. Not to forget your hit and miss A.I teammates. other than that. I enjoyed it. But I hated the syndicate expansion.
ready or not somehow bypasses bios and msi afterburner limits and causes my gpu to draw 111% power, steam won't refund me and the devs are ignoring me, the price of this game is 10 hours of work in my country and it just went down the drain by buying this game
5:45 He just sounds confused; like he just woke up. And the you go all out police brutality. tsk, tsk, tsk. Swat4 has got some serious faults and often times feels like a bad remake of Swat3.
The slower movement is absolutely intentional. We don't want this game to be just another action-fps.
good, Ready or Not is similar in that regards and I hope they keep it that way
I mean, after playing some of RoN recently, I'm all for the slower pace, but it'd be nice if they did add a jog button. The slow speed is nice and all, but it's pretty immersion breaking when you can hear an active shooter in adjacent room and the swat team is just taking their sweet time to get in and protect civilians.
@@Tantwo you should try the mission fairfax survival
Swat 4 had amazing level design and audio, very underappreciated.
This game provides endless hours of co-op fun and the mods are amazing. I won't be needing ready or not with a while. Considering how good the SEF mod is, I wonder whether ready or not will meet the quality of SWAT 4.

I actually have proof. for example, the single player cop AI are actually missing some features, like being able to use a grenade launcher correctly, things like the grenade launcher must be commanded to be used. there are other things too that point to the single-player being rushed, the co-op mode has more content like weapons and items, along side less bugs. swat 4's expansion was also rushed as the expansion's new weapons are much less polished with more stilted animations and such. back again to the single player ai. the devs tried to add a more complicated friendly ai but had much less time and only did half a job, the friendly ai works with a "last seen" system, where they will go to places/look at where suspects we're last seen or detected to clear them out and search for suspects and discarded guns. unfortunately, this means that they can get stuck looking at weird spots because their memory is stored in nodes that are placed on the map when something happens, this is also why they all funky around doors, because the cops are focusing on a door node. also know that the cop AI has a hard coded moral system (like suspects) that they do not use, this implies that the friendly cops where originally going to have moral like the suspects, but they didn't have time to add it fully so they just left the value as always blank, even if you do increase the value with cheats it doesn't work because it was never finished, because they have an unfinished moral system that might have made their ai work better, they act without "emotion" and just do everything exactly as the player/nodes say without any moral effecting them. this is why they charge into doorways to their doom and never retreat.
plus I don't understand how me saying the AI was rushed was an "argument". I said the AI was bad, yet you seem to think that I was using some nonsense excuse to deflect criticism like a blinded fanboy. why do you think that anyways?
@@Elatenl You also dismiss my reasonable and factually true point with an immature and infantile "Yeah, no" it sounds more like something that George from Peppa Pig would say rather than a (presumably) functioning adult. your statement implies that we we're having some kind of heated argument but that is completely untrue, argumentative behaviour where there is no actual conflict is common amongst very small children who have little to no developed social skills, perhaps you are one of these small children? Please, don't act like everything is an argument. it will get you nowhere.
Swat 4 is good I just hate the delayed mouse movement of the camera
i stil play it specialy those with some mod it is stil great; like now i'm doing the challenge to get in each mission 100/100 score; done so far 42 missions

Thank you 👍
The biggest issue of the game is the fact that the game is ment to be played like your in a swat/counter terrorist unit carfully planing your aproch, stacking up on doors while one of you prepares to throw a flash and the other breaks the door open and fluidly enterinf the room watching all sides clearing the room tactically making callouts, flanking, taking your time, sticking together, that gameplay is impossable if 8 out of 10 players you come across ignore the tactics and just go in guns blazimg not keeping together and opening random doors to the point where they get double teamed by terroirsts , and confusing us on what areas we havent already checked causing players to run around in circles if everyone kept together that wouldent happen, also the non leathal options are usless considernimg nobody uses them and goes for killshots but also the fact that enimies barley surender. Seruously how hard is it to grab swat 4 take everything that game did and do it better, insted we got a game that takes two steps back in the gameplay and an up in graphics. Game looks good curently dosent play like its suppose to. Also on another note you run way to slow, how can i help a team mate thats in a gunfignt across the room if im walking snails paise ? Fix your shit devs fr

Hey Aussie youtuber ❤
hello
0:04 💀💀 are you serious I got it for £0.50 an CEX
yeah I took a major lmfao
While i enjoy 3 a bit more, i cant deny Swat 4s amazing atmosphere and enviromental storytelling.
And yeah... the gun sounds are REALLY bad. Especially the M4. Like... what the hell is that?!
I try to get into Swat 3, but i'm not used to the game mechanics, Swat 4 feels more modern but lacks some of the features from 3

I always hated the fucking bots. Most of the time they never listened. Which made me more trigger friendly mad. Not to forget your hit and miss A.I teammates. other than that. I enjoyed it. But I hated the syndicate expansion.
ready or not somehow bypasses bios and msi afterburner limits and causes my gpu to draw 111% power, steam won't refund me and the devs are ignoring me, the price of this game is 10 hours of work in my country and it just went down the drain by buying this game
5:45 He just sounds confused; like he just woke up. And the you go all out police brutality. tsk, tsk, tsk.
Swat4 has got some serious faults and often times feels like a bad remake of Swat3.
I just pirated the game
