SWAT 4 scores 8.5 (great) at gamespot! and 9.0 at ign!

Im in it for the co-op all the way, sure the regular 16 player mp is nice aswell... but 5 player co-op through the whole sp and the ability to create own missions on existing maps and then load it up to play co-op, will just rock my world!

So, who´s getting it on thusday(april 5th)? :paranoid:


"We've all been having a blast around the office playing all of the different modes but the drug of choice has been the coop multiplayer. There's just something special about teaming up with a four of your friends and going into a crazy situation and having to watch each other's backs. This is definitely a mode for friends to play together. When you all coordinate an attack from two doors into the same room at the same time, there's something undeniably satisfying about the whole process."

i played the demo and it sucked. Overkill recoil/spread and a snail paced speed....even when you are running. I must admit it had a retarded mouseaccel i couldnt get rid of to give it a fair chance.

Words from a true gamer.

Demos and reviews is good for getting a general idea about the game, but its only your own opinion AND the full product that counts.

It´s very similiar to RvS only better.. sure the speed is a bit slow and i hated it at first.. but you get used to it.

Dont know if there is a setting for mouse acc, but its a unreal built game(later built than RvS)so i guess there is a setting for it.

Thats the only beef i had when trying the sp and mp demos, i will give a full review/thought about it when i have it and played it for minimum 10 hours.
