SWAT4 status... IMO...

**Magnum50** · 12-13-2005, 02:55 PM

OK, we know that SWAT4 is a great game, but it's biggest problem has been the lack of missions and maps to keep it new and fresh...

Well we also know that a add-on is in development, and is looking to add alot of good stuff including new weapons, new toys, new maps, and new missions...

We know that there are a couple of modifications out there that are really worth taking a look at... like the SSF Realism Mod, now v2.0, and the Code 11 Mod... both doing the same thing, making adjustments and adding a little more of what SWAT4 gamers have wanted in there game...

Well while looking and posting news this AM at my other virtual home, SimHQ, I found a couple of nice maps and missions worth sharing...

I also found another mod, which I have downloaded and installed but still need to look more at...

There... that should hold you for the winter break, lol, maybe more in the new year... I'll be trying these maps from the pack out and will report when able.

My god I love the Mt. McKenna maps... ones normal, and ones with snow...SWEET!

I think TONIGHT, (Dec. 13th) around 8 PM Eastern, I'll throw up my own server with the Mt. McKenna maps and then some from the map pack mentioned above...

All invited... I'll be on TS in the SWAT channel...

Wow, the SP missions on the new maps in the HSM v2.0 expansion are amazing! Very well designed maps and HARD missions! Good stuff.

The Construction site really is a single player map, you're all alone! That's not really SWAT realistic, but it was fun!

And the Dept. of Criminal Justice is a meat locker, lol!

We need to find or build some good MP Coop missions on those maps.

**Magnum50** · 12-14-2005, 08:48 AM

for ease of use... I have uploaded to my web site all three of the popular, most recent SWAT 4 mods... all are executables, so very easy to install and use... and you can have and play all three plus the original without interference with the other mods... just double click the mod shortcut you want and it loads...

I'm thinking about comparing the three, and giving a report soon... but other work first. lol

get the mods here:

under the files title.
