I just downloaded the demo (finnally, i know) and am wondering if it's worth it to by the full game, do people still play it online? i wouldn't mind the single player, but i would probably like some online to go with it.

Also, if i get this, i probably won't be picking up f.e.a.r.

Plenty of online servers. I go back to this game quite often when I get ticked off at the Bf2 issues.
Its a great single player game as well.
Be warned though: its a very tough game online.

i had the full version and deleted it...one only textures are real like, characters and 3d models suck, you can bearly kill anything with that recoil...and when i played online to many TKing noobs

i rather play SWAT3 :D

Download a mod they have and it's worth it.

yeah a mod made by lupuamagnun, a reality mod, by the way one of the things that i really like in swat4 is that u can play the singleplayer missions with AI and everything, in co-op mode with some other people, its really a challenge this way and its worth it

The good:

- single player is great
- graphics are well done
- sound is solid 'put your hands up' :D
- feels like you're actually in SWAT

Reasons why I stopped playing:

- multiplayer was great at first, but the lack of maps and long loading times in between maps was a turn off
- slow support was frustrating. When I un-installed the game, a month or two went by with only info of a patch coming out. They didn't even release a quick fix for the bugged UMP (Note: When you used I think the FMJ, the bullets had the power of the M4)
- other problems included TKing, no admin powers (some people would just do nothing and just waste time. No one could boot them)


I know a patch or patches have come out since them and a couple maps have been added, but I won't be going back to SWAT 4.

Swat 4 was definately a great game. Great atmosphere, great gameplay. I loved it. Doing missions without killing anyone was a damn pain tho, but worth the hassle :)

Check out the streaming ads that are now in v1.1

Is this the only reason they bothered to release a patch?

Fun game...just started to creep me out a little when I got to the mission where the guy had mask moldings of all his victims. Also, where the cult killed and burried their children in the basement...

Mask moldings?? was that the level with the fat git that kept a girl in his basement??

That Cult level was idd a bit creepy but I loved the nitro sticks and the gas valves :D
