It's not ready yet
- decent foundation for a SWAT 3-4 spiritual successor, but misses the mark by huge margin
- basic mod support is good but currently rather broken
- good number of weapons, equipment to deploy
- atmosphere featured on maps generally solid, but has a serious lack of "average" SWAT missions, everything is blown way out of proportion for the most part, either too many suspects or scale is too wide for a 5 man team
- massive performance issues and visual artifacts across a variety of maps, technical instability such as crashing
- every level turns into a massive gun battle as the AI practically never gives up, from convenience store robberies, to veterans barricaded with combat experience, there's very little to no difference, it's fight to the death
- inhumane reaction times: you'll see friendly officers executing surrendered enemies instant they turn hostile, and suspects tag you with near pinpoint accuracy as soon as you are slightly visible
- levels are imbalanced: you're often going up against multiple armed suspects with just 5 team members and are expected to follow ROE, with the aforementioned AI issues on top of it as well
- on top of all that, the game constantly strives you to arrest or use non-lethal weapons in situations, where it would be completely laughable as you're facing multiple armed suspects
- many of the earlier features have been scrapped or are in some sort of limbo, including sniper teams and drones
We waited a year for a massive update to drop and not only are there a lot of new bugs, issues with the various systems and mechanics, but the development team has not yet addressed the most glaring ones, such as suspect AI, which have been an ongoing topic of discussion since the dawn of time. On top of that, the game came out of early access as such, which is just not at all accurate as to the state of the game.
It's still early access, don't be fooled.
intensive, tactical swat like fps shooter where you can play solo with 4 ai teammates or co op with friends or via matchmaking, large mod community. lots of gear and weapon customizing, different missions and maps, can be hard, the enemy ai is sometimes very hard and shoot accurately, so move slow and try to be as tactical you can be. graphics are beautiful. and then comes the performance of the game..which is trash at the moment..i've 5800x3d, rtx 4090, 32gigs of ram and i play in 4k, fps can go to close 200 with max settings and every now and then it feels like 30fps with stuttering and the fps can really drop to 20?! with gpu utilization from 100 to 20%. just like every other new pc game with BAD OPTIMIZATION. getting really tired of that!
First mission first try: Open door and as i enter i got two shotgun shells to my chest and fly to wall on my friends screen.
Second try: Trying to restrain suspect and receive half a clip from pistol he took from his ass.
5/5 i was not ready
