In SWAT 4, players have a variety of weaponry and equipment to choose from, which can be issued to both the player character and the AI squadmates. Many players and clans use the game as a platform for realistic operations, using real life tactics and organization. This is not similar to single player teams where an element leader controls both teams. In the expansion, Co-op can run on custom missions and with up to ten players per game, which can further be split into two completely separate teams (red and blue) with a leader each. This allows the player to play through the single-player missions with up to four other people taking the place of computer-controlled SWAT officers. The SWAT team must locate and disable them all within a time limit, if they fail to do so, suspects win. Three to five bombs are placed throughout the map. If a SWAT team member kills the VIP, suspects win. If the suspects kill the VIP without holding him for two minutes, SWAT wins. The SWAT team must escort the VIP to an extraction point on the map. The suspects must arrest the VIP, hold him for two minutes and then execute him. A random member of the SWAT team is selected to be the VIP. The team which hits the score limit first or has the highest score when the round time ends wins. Teams gain points by arresting or killing members of the other team. SWAT 4 also features several multiplayer game modes, all of which are team-based: SWAT versus suspects. The player can select equipment for each of the officers. During the briefing, the player can choose equipment for themselves and the element, as well as select an entry point.Ī SWAT team clearing out a subway maintenance tunnel during a multiplayer co-op game. Sniper support may also be provided, but the snipers' views are limited to static parts of the map, often covering a single window, and players must manually take control of the snipers in order to shoot suspects in their line of sight. Some missions feature a 911 call which can give players a clue as what to expect. This allows the leader to see what other members of the element see and issue commands remotely.Īll missions start with a briefing which describes the situation and gives whatever details are available on the suspects and/or hostages. Additionally, a video camera is mounted on each police officer's helmet. Players issue commands from an order selection menu, which include room clearing, providing cover or handcuffing a compliant person. The player is the leader in a five-man SWAT element consisting of the player character and four assaulters that are divided into two color coded pairs. The game's difficulty levels dictate how many points the player will need to earn in order to advance to the next mission, as well as the suspects' aggression and willingness to comply. Other penalties issued by the game include officer incapacitation and personal injury. One crucial aspect of this is the game's use of police procedure, which penalizes players for shooting non-threatening suspects or innocent people. The game's realistic gameplay is intended to simulate real life SWAT operations.

#Swat 4 multiplayer mod#
Unfortunately i don't have much time to play these days but i do sneak in a round or two in SWAT 4 single player with SEF mod and voice commands. Probably because it's small and with dedicated players. I played for a bit on SEF servers and the community is great, something you won't find in many multiplayer games these days. It's available on Gog, that's where i got it. Sadly I don't own the game anymore and getting hands on it is a bit of a pain. I would love some Swat 4 multiplayer fun as I never had the chance to. SWAT 4 Server Browser : Just copy IP and paste into your game and come join! You can still play multiplayer with direct IP connection and browse servers and connect rather easily. Let's see if we can get the population back over 100. Not to mention regular SWAT 4 & Expansion servers too. There is even multiple SEF mod servers with custom map support. Now I'm returning to the classics and was happy and excited to see there is still 50-75 people still on multiplayer!. Originally posted by Spent Brass:I played SWAT over ten years ago, and loved it.
