Tell me about SWAT

[Navaros]

the only thing that sucked about Swat 3 was the squad mate AI

or i should say, complete and utter lack of any squad mate AI

i tried to beat that game by setting the enemy AI to the hardest difficulty setting, and making sure that none of my squad mates died during the Mission

i spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours trying to reach this lofty goal, and i never ever got passed the "sewers" mission

just to get to the sewers mission, i had to replay every mission before that (like 14 or so) dozens of times, at the bare minimum

i even tried turning down the enemy difficulty to medium, that still did not help the problem

the thing is, no matter what you tell your AI squad mates to do, they often don't listen to you

ie: you tell your squad to stay put and cover the doorway to the stairwell. all of a sudden a hostage opens that door, and your squad mate automatically steps out of position and walks into the stairwell, getting killed instantly

this of course, is despite the fact that you told him to stay-put no matter what

i can't even begin to count the gazillion of times that such things have happened to me in Swat 3

Swat 3 is great except for the horrendous AI. if you're a perfectionist who likes to keep all your men alive, however, then the AI really is a huge frustration

to be fair, i have concluded that all AI sucks at this point in time , so the problem is not exclusive to Swat 3
