AI

[NESSKAT]

How is the AI now ...........is it still insta killing you or do you get a bit of reat time. Also does it still shoot through walls. Any good mods out there to make it a bit easier.

The AI is fair, I haven't been in a scenario in this game where the AI john wicked me in a long long time. They've been toned down alot. They will hit you through walls near doorways if they get the chance. I've yet to see them fire through a wall separated from a doorway in a long long time. Even then its rare and usually by accident as their accuracy isn't very good depending on the suspect

They are generally okay except for two situations: in maps with lots of clutter like the postal one where they can pick you out much better than you can to them and in situations where you're in a firefight and you get utterly blinded by various FX effects to simulate 'suppression' while they seem to happily strafe-dance without problems

the shooting through walls happens but it's generally pretty reasonable situations. I've done it back to them successfully on 'lethal obsession' so it's a two-way street

No Crack for AI was a good one back in the days. Dunno how it is now.

I use SWAT and SUSPECT AI Overhaul but this one is more complex :
There's like "3 levels" of difficulty. Maps with non-criminals like, 213 park homes, gas station, etc will have super low accuracy, surrender easily, often have ♥♥♥♥ weapons etc.
Maps with "average criminals" like Mindjot, or lawmaker will make them somewhat what the current AI is, only with some being more cowardly and others being insane
High-grade criminals or corrupt FISA will hardly ever surrender and be extremely accurate and try to trap/trick you.
Terrorist will almost never, if ever, surrender but be a bit less accurate but also super aggressive and try to hunt you down occassionally.

So... Yeah, be warned. But that means you can learn to be better by playing the "low rank" maps more (the mod tells you which map is what difficulty level) and then progress.

This can be like Rainbow Six, if you use mods that remove the "police approach" to the game.
Usually you get penalties on your score for not properly shouting at them to surrender before you kill them. Because you are police.

But with the mods, they remove that, so you can kill on sight, and then it's basically rainbow six.

Look for mods like this one:
