Does anyone still prefer SWAT 4?

Just curious if people still prefer the OG over the spiritual successor. If you do like Swat 4 more why is that?

In terms of personality, aesthetic and music, S.W.A.T 4 is still superior in my opinion. As much as I love RON, it's admittedly a bit soulless because of the Unreal Engine and it's dedication to realism.

Play the Tarone tenement level or the Fairfax level in S.W.AT 4 and point to a single level in RON that is more immersive or atmospheric than these.
What RON lacks is those iconic missions with neurotically detailed descriptions - that unnecessary attention to detail that S.W.A.T 4 had. The suspects and many of the locations in RON are just NOTHING, soulless placeholders of people and places.

Enjoyed Rainbow 6 and SWAT games. Liked the slower pace and having to "think" your way thru a mission, and not just run n gun. Very few fps shooters have this element. Glad to see RON get this again. Can't wait for tomorrow.

I have a feeling it won't be as good as SWAT 4.

I still prefer SWAT 4 because the SWAT team AI works. This may change tomorrow with V 1.0.

SWAT 4 also has native voice commands for the SWAT team. But you can use Voice Attack for Ready or Not.

Swat 4 allows simultaneous commands to be executed by Red and Blue teams. Does this game? I can't remember haven't played it for a year.

Obviously a single players perspective.
Fix the SWAT AI and it will be greater than the greatest modded SWAT 4.

SWAT 4's SEF mod had a feature where you could pass your grenades to your teammates who didn't have them so they could use them. Little thing that I would be happy to see come to the game at some point.

Why ask this 1 day before the final game is released (which none of us have played) with significant content and quality of life improvements? What's the point?

Having seen the updates on team AI and formations, my expectations are quite high.

Swat 4 has many things that I wish it could be in RoN.

But at the end RoN will have its own official mod tools down the road, it will surpass SWAT 4 in every aspect with it.

Swat 4 has more variety if you add the expansion.

Yeah, given the mod tools and support of the devs, this game should still be ace in a few years from now.

Until 1.0 arrives tomorrow, this is kind of a pointless discussion to have IMO.

I think people have their nostalgia glasses on. SWAT 4 was good for its time but dated now.

There's also I notice a... lack of distinction between the mega overhaul mods and vanilla SWAT 4. I'm actually pretty disappointed overall with vanilla SWAT 4, especially the scoring system and SWAT AI "smartness". But it seems that everyone plays with either extra DLC or a lot of mods.

Lmao you can pick up Vanilla SWAT4 and play it with functional team mates. For a whole year you couldn't do that with RoN.

That would be Buc-ee's.

I prefer Rogue Spear, but no one knows what the ♥♥♥♥ that is anyways.

I know what it is and I agree.
