Hey all, quick update inbound,<br><br>First and foremost sorry for taking four months to make this dang video. I was swamped with school and work stuff so I had a very full plate for pretty much the entirety of summer break. Now that I'm back in uni I'll hopefully have more time to spend on bringing you guys cool stuff.<br><br>Second, I now have a Buy me a Coffee! No major plans there as of right now, just wanted set something up for any of you lovely people who wanna throw a couple iced teas my way. <br><a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/skel23">https://buymeacoffee.com/skel23</a><br><br>Regardless, I'm planning on releasing a small housekeeping video in a few days to outline where I'm going with this channel in the next few months/years, so stay tuned!

Swat 4 is so much more complex under its surface. If you really question aspects of swat 4 you realize it is a far more intelligent game than it seems.

The thing I love most about the cult mission gameplay wise is you're encouraged to use hollow points, not just because you're fighting people without armor, but it also gets stuck in bodies so you won't blow up explosives behind suspects.

Elite force mod and voice activated element control made me come back to this game in 2025. Brilliant!!!

I will never forget the hollow chest anxiety feeling and skin crawling disgust i felt the first time i played the fairfax residence and the cult children mission.

I would never forget when my step brother showed this game he was like 16 and I was like 9 but since then i fell in love with tactical shooters the fact that it was very realistic and all of that just make it even better, now many years later I found out ready or not wich seems to me like a spiritual succesor

SWAT 4? Still better than Ready or Not in so many aspects...

I was a supporter of Ready Or Not since 2020, signed the NDA and everything. It was crazy watching the vision start off as like almost a "SWAT 5" that wouldn't pull any punches, incredible variety of gameplay, very dynamic etc. When ADAM released, the art style was abandoned, and it just devolved into this "Tacti-Cool" mess where all the firearms are redundant because there's seven different variants of an AR-15, and seven different variants of a Crye G3 uniform. None of the things they showcased that would diversify gameplay ever happened (Night vision is literally useless, the lighting is baked and I'm pretty sure light visibility doesn't effect AI meaningfully), The AI was always broken too, even in the Alpha. They really couldn't figure that one out. Lol.
