I've been playing this and I think it is great. There have been some aspects which had to be removed, but I've read that most everything from SWAT 3 was included in the game.

The worst thing that had to be removed due to time constraints is that compliance is permanent; perps won't run for it if you leave them alone after they've given up. Hopefully, the game will have 2 expansions like SWAT 3 and this will be added in. I didn't even play SWAT 3 and I miss this feature.

Besides that, everything works good and it feels realistic. I'm interested in what SWAT 3 veterans Navaros and TSM think of it, especially on which interface they prefer, classic or new.

I played SWAT3, and just d/l the SWAT4 demo this morning. I'm getting used to the "new" interface. Still haven't figured out how to call the TOC to report casualties.

Click the use key when you look at an incapacitated officer/perp/hostage.

Did the perps fire off F-bombs back in SWAT 3, or is this a new feature?

just d/l swat 4 demo a few days ago, if the game itself is as good or better than the demo its definatey going on my wish list.

context sensitive... put the target over the casualty, civilian, suspect and hit the middle mouse button...

I like the fact that the game pulls no punches with the language.

Fields: "POLICE!! Get your ass down!"

Perp: "F%&@ YOU!!!"

I believe that Eric Brosius of the Thief games is doing the sound and some of the voices. The quality is great, but I keep expecting the perps to call me a "taffer".

I like the bean bag shotgun. I want one.

I love the bean bag shotgun, no excessive use of force with that one! First time I went through I took the bean bag shotgun and unloaded a whole magazine into a noncompliant perp, he was squirming after that one!
I really like how you can shoot guns out of people's hands and such. Another great feature is the taser gun, nobody will keep resisting after you hit them with that!

It is much easier to use the LTL weapons to stop the perps. Beanbags remove a level of restraint when dealing with a hostile and the taser helps you force compliance when the civilians just don't get it. However, I prefer the honor and dignity of a killing weapon over those LTL gadgets. LTL enforces ultimate control over someone, denying them a righteous death in battle. Gah! Those who bring killing weapons deserve killing weapons! Gah! LTL has no honor! Gah!

Well after my first run through I picked up an M4 even though I hate them. I have worked on my aim and now shoot the guns out of their hands, instead of killing them, most of the time.....
