Because I’m not into multiplayer I didn’t even attempt to try it here so this review will only cover the single player aspects.

Now I know there are a ton of other excellent mods out there, of course, but these are the three that really stood out for me. I should mention that these mods do require the expansion to be installed.

Enhancements Mod v3.0, the SAS Mod v1.1, and the SWAT 4 Remake Mod v1.3.1. For this review I will be covering the SWAT 4: Gold Edition which includes both the main game and the expansion as well as a few mods that I feel are well worth checking out – the H.S.M. An expansion pack, The Stetchkov Syndicate, was released in February, 2006 and included new missions, weapons, and features that improved the experience even further. Developed by Irrational Games and published by Sierra Entertainment, SWAT 4 may be the better known game of the two and does include some revamped mechanics and new features that are truly welcome.

SWAT 4 was the inevitable sequel released in 2005. It was one of those games where you can see how much care the developers put into it. SWAT 3 has incredibly smart and even unpredictable AI that’s just unmatched, even in games today, giving it immense replay value. You think on your feet and need to approach every doorway, corner, and stairwell with caution. You still need to think tactically but there’s no real planning. I’ve never been good at any of that and I think that’s why SWAT 3 is more the game for me. Rainbow Six 3 gives you the ultimate freedom of choosing and equipping your team, planning out your team’s actions, and then executing that plan with the hope that you complete the mission without anybody on your team dying, including yourself. I can remember playing it for the first time and even though it doesn’t really hold your hand, I never felt overwhelmed by the mechanics. Rainbow Six 3 for the PC may be the peak of the tactical shooter genre but SWAT 3 is easily my favorite.

Both Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon are not what they used to be and multiplayer focused gameplay seems to dominate the video game market today. I think the first three Rainbow Six games and even the original Ghost Recon brought the genre to public attention but things have drastically changed over the years. Arma 3 may be the closest thing we have to a modern tactical shooter with a single player component. Playing these older tactical shooters nowadays makes me sad because they really don’t make them like they used to.
