"Underfunded Police Force"

[Walt von Keisel-Walther]

Anyone think this is just a straight up lie when we have equipment such as MCX's, full body armor, and many other high grade top of the line equipment?

Could just be 2nd hand weapons handed in small numbers. I mean there's only a handful of characters for the SWAT team. The world setting clearly dictates that crime is rampant, LSPD is going bankrupt, corruptions is everywhere and political/societal instability is at an all time high.

I mean it doesn't work when every single member of the team is just kitted out in the most state of the art equipment

LAPD's swat team is 60 officers give or take in real life.

Each Sergeant opperates two five man squads. In this game you only have access to a single five man squad due to budget concerns. As well you are establishing a police station in the area from the ground up.

Doesn't excuse the fact of 20+ suspects for one 5 man team to take care of.

The whole story with that is just funny to me.

You're raiding Mansions, Clubs and multi million dollar hotels - and the police department is hiding in a train station like freggin Bane is after them.

Even funnier if you take in to the fact you can play literal Marshals and BORTAC (Not calling it that cringe BDRTAC garbage) officers and other federal agents

Well do you expect them to not go in then?

I expect reinforcements to be coming in, hell several teams even.

The game is ultimately fictional so we have to take it with a degree of skepticism, try not to make much sense out of it.

There are no reinforcements to come in. You are it. What don't you understand about that?

[Stint Lint Flipliptip]

Do you really expect a copaganda game to be realistic?

Unrionically making a SWAT game with the department itself being underfunded just seems like a really bad idea for a setting, just saying.

[Icepick]

Honestly, the "Lore" behind this reasoning seems like a poor excuse for just cutting corners and gutting the game. Its also a bad reason for this 5-man limit

But the other way around doesn't seem that appealing either. 50 cops surround a trailer because one suspect is barricated with a single pistol or long gone for 10 hours until he surrenders or a team moves in. The actual gunfight, if any, wouldn't last more than 30 seconds. This game at least gives us plenty of suspects to engage with however we choose to approach the situation.
