<div class="IPBDescription">weeee</div> hiya, well yeah im in the swat 4 open beta thing from fileplanet...

and just thought i would share with you guys what i picked up on it so far since there is no ND on it...

ok in short, it does have alot of bugs to work out, however it is still very very good your max run speed is like pathetic which i love.. it reeks of slow controlled movements no run and gun... if you rush you will die. plain and simple..

some stunning gadgets.. such as the pepper baller which is a paintball gun which fires pepper spray balls... the non lethal pump shotgun which blasts beanbags..
tazer, pepper spray and the works...

at the moment there are few primary weapons and it is very heavily biased in the m4. which i hate.

all in all very good with a decent team it can be fantastic...

the scenario in the level they gave us is VIP escort.. how it works is the T team has to capture and hold the vip for 2 minutes. and then execute him

meaning if swat messes up they get a chance to recover. you can also arrest officers which is a huge burn lol

all in all this has so much potential. reeks of awesomeness. it comes close enough to being real whilst remaining a video game.

linked is a shot of me playing the bad guys <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> i was the one in the middle <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> the guy in the white was the vip. the timer had reached 2 mins so we executed...

nifty features are, the vip can move while arrested! so you get to keep spraying/tazering him which is fun.

    Wait, what? There's a beta and I didn't know about it? *cries*

    Swat 3 is still far and away my favourite squad-based shooter - I was thrilled when I saw that work on Swat 4 hadn't died a couple of months ago.

    Swat 3 was my favourite online game back when I had a 56gay connection. Used to have a ton of mods for it.

    Drat it all. It's times like this that I rue not having a subscription.

    Then again it's every other day of the year when I enjoy not having to pay. So possibly it's a good tradeoff.

    That said I shall wait for the demo.

    I just played this, and damn its fun! The weapons seem well-balanced, though I only got to see the carbine and 9mm silenced smg in action. It was pretty sweet. I love how its a drag-game until suspects grab the sucker- then its like team king of the hill around the guy. My team on one server got the hostage in that middle ground-floor hallway. We ended up covering all the exits to it and slowly securing it down, not without losing quite a few folks though.

    The movement speed though needs to be modified, HEAVILY. At the moment, it feels like someone tied my feet together- and don't give me that "This is realistic" BS- these guys wear less than the army, and even in AA they move good there. And note, I don't mean the regular speed, I mean the +shift speed.

    qua, no that is a nice speed, only thing is they move at that speed knees together to keep theyre gun straight, so why the tremendous amount of recoil when moving in such a way !!!

    qua, look me up on msn mate eternalfaith04 AT hotmail DOT CO DOT UK

    we can play a few games or somethin'

    its a good laugh one time the vip got caught in the main ground floor hallway (1a)
    and yeah i let him shuffle... cos i wanted him out of the line of fire, he thought he was escaing but i escorted him to stairwell D then tazered him lol... the rest of the suspect team were like ' omg we have lost he vip!'
