Shared on Sat, 09/30/2006 - 23:18So a few buddies of mine (actually, a couple from this site as well, since we got them on here) had a lanfest about 2 minutes from my house. Although I only was able to drop by for five hours or so I did get to partake in a game I've not played before: SWAT4. Pretty neat game.
Yes, my buddies are PC gamers - probably only one xbox between the 11 folks (other then me). No 360's but me, and I don't own an original xbox either. So, needless to say, lots of PC's and monitors.
Swat4 multi-player is pretty kick ass. It is like Counter Strike with more fun involved, cooler weapons, and respawns instead of rounds. One player gets to be the "VIP" - sorta like a hostage but its a gamer. He also has a gun, and pepper spray. So while he and the group try to make it to the exit point the "suspects" try to bring you down.
Well, as the VIP you can shoot them, but they won't shoot you. Why? Because they have to take you hostage for 2 minutes to win the round. Awesome concept, because its tough to take down a guy with pepper spray and a pistol. You can flash grenade, smoke grenade or shoot him in the legs to slow 'em down. Cuff him, and guard his ass while the cops try to get 'em back.
The realism is good, but still enough lack of it to be "fun." Graphics were sweet on nice systems, but it even played on my Acer tablet (although I got lots of UNSUPPORTED messages on startup). So, it played on shitty systems and still was cool. Nice.
Anyway, wanted to share. Good game, take a look at it if your into a game that's like CS mixed with quake style respawns (but slower like CS in movement). More fun than CS in my opinion.
