Heh, first person here
so i guess no one else is waiting for this game?
swat 3 was great, and the added online play was a good feature!
can't wait till this game comes out!

I never really heard about Swat 4 until now.. Or maybe I just saw a quick glance of it. I wish they went back to the Swat 2 style of action though. That was nice.

Hrm.....Well...
If you like realistic real-time tactical shooters that rely heavily on real-life realism and tactics, then this genre line is for you.
If you're an action shooter type that is quick to blow everything and anything in your way, into a sticky, bloody mess... I'd stick to the Unreal/Quake genre and steer clear.
The previous Swat Title, Swat3 and Swat3: Elite Edition, was strictly based on the above factors. Players truley only succeed by arresting suspects in two major modes of entry: Stealth or Dynamic Breach "Bangs to Bullets".
While there's very little public information on Swat 4 in a whole, many true Swat players of the "Fanatic" type have specualated a dissapointed 4th edition release, carrying old rumors of an "all out action shoot 'em up, sold out, give me the bucks!" product, targeted to the 'counter-strike' (adhd/impatient) generation gamer.
The above cannot be proved or disproved at this stage of development, which may be good or bad news -- depending on how much syrup you take with your waffles. Reason being, the developers of Swat 4 have swapped Game Engines numerious times over the past 3-4 years of it's creation.
quoteWith that said... The belief that a great franchise was put to sleep, for a long time to come.3D Gamers has a story up with word they've picked up from Vivendi that SWAT: Urban Justice has been cancelled. After noticing that all references to the oft-delayed next installment in the SWAT series had been removed from the company's servers, their inquiries returned the response that there is no chance that the game will be released. This was what Vivendi had to say about the future of SWAT:
We'll have news regarding the SWAT franchise this summer
However, to much surprise to the community, the Development was picked back up, this time dropping the already fantastic custom built engine, to persue the more modern Unreal Tournament engine. However, there are rumors that the final product will, in fact, no be utilizing the Unreal engine.
Information on this Title is still very much in the dark. While this is a disconcerning factor for the fans, it would appear to be the only logical competitive solution for Swat 4, in the eyes of marketing.
Until further news..... I'll be keeping Swat 4 in the back of my mind, hoping for a true Swat release when/if it does eventually hit the shelves. May all that is holy in this universe help Swat 4 sustain it's true origin of gameplay. Let's all pray for a non-arcade shooter branded with the Swat franchise label.
PEACE-OUTside.

quote Josh17This game was OK. It was only average because the gameplay did get repetative.I never really heard about Swat 4 until now.. Or maybe I just saw a quick glance of it. I wish they went back to the Swat 2 style of action though. That was nice.

It has done on the last two games, not much variation in it at all, the best is playing on official police servers with real cops who like to play realistically. Good fun.
