6-Basics of the Game

I highly recommend you to read this section. I have given every single detail
about everything in the game. So if you are a new comer, this is the place
for you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.Teamwork

You have a team comprising of four squad members. Your foot squad is divided
into two groups, red and blue. The batch on the whole is referred as either
gold or element. You also have mission specific snipers to aid you as well.

You can select your officers at the start of the game. Although each of them
have a unique description written, they are all equally effective in the
battlefield. So choose any four. You can select your team only once during
the game, at the start.

Your squad members have been programmed very intelligently. They are very
responsive and almost never make any stupid mistakes. I have never seen them
shoot at each other, even by mistake. They always know the right path and
have never got stuck or acted strangely.

Alongside being very smart, your squad members are also very responsive. They
will ALWAYS follow your order no matter how dangerous the objective it. They
will NEVER disobey, except when you are standing in their way. For example if
you ordered you tea, to breach a door, they will not go through it until they
are all positioned, so if you are standing in their way, you can forget your
order until you move away. When you have to give orders, you have the choice
of giving them to any of the two teams or the whole squad.

As for the snipers, they are almost in direct control of you. Since you are
controlling them, so the whole point of them disobeying your orders is not
possible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

II.Act Like A Cop

You are cop, right, REMEMBER IT. You will never see an officer storm into a
room with guns blazing. Being a cop, you must first give the suspect a chance
to surrender by shouting at him to comply. If he does'nt surrender, use non
lethal force to make him change his mind. Most of the suspects comply after the
use of non-lethal force. You only attack them if they pose a direct threat
towards you or anyone nearby.

Remember that EVERYONE is a suspect, yes even those crying and freaked out
hostages. So when you shout a compliance, MAKE SURE you hand-cuff everyone or
else some might run off. After you hand-cuff them, report their status to TOC.
If the person had any weapon, he will drop it. Pick it up as well. Point to
note is that after a suspect has complied and you have'nt hand-cuffed him, 9
times out of then he will not be any threat to anyone. The only thing they
might do is run off, but i only encountered it twice.

Remember to report all type of statuses to TOC. If you see a dead/wounded body,
report it, if you have a hand-cuffed suspect, report him, if your fellow squad
member goes down, report him as well. Remember to collect all evidence. If the
suspect drops a gun etc, make sure you collect. All this counts towards your
mission score at the end and failure to do these will result in deduction of
points.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III.Use lethal force where necessary

You didnt expect the whole game to go by without the use of these wonderful
weapons, did you? You will have plenty of oppurtunities to use your weapons in
the game, HOWEVER, there are some circumstances in which you can use them. AND
remember, the use of lethal force must be your last resort.

If a suspect fires his weapon, be it in any direction, you now have the
authority to use your lethal weapons to take him out without shouting for
compliance. It does'nt matter whether the bullet hits the wall etc, its the
theory that counts and according to the theory, that bullet could have been a
hostage or maybe even YOU. So press the trigger button and pop him full of
lead.

If a suspect has a fire arm ready, it does NOT mean you can use lethal force at
him. He should be aiming his gun at someone, be it you or a hostage and he
should be trying to lock on to you. If thats the case then you have the right
to pop him full of lead, however if a suspect just has a fire arm in his hand
and he not using it for anything dangerous, you have to shout compliance.
Otherwise you lose points.

There is another cheating sort of method in which you can take out the supect
without any point penalty. If you use you optiwand to look behind a door and
you see an enemy, you can take him out by breaching the door using the C2
explosive. Enemies taken out in this fashion will be counted as a legal kill.

The last legal way in which you can take out the enemy is via sniping. However,
you must have a sniper in the mission. You have to go into the sniper's view
point and aim carefully for the target. Fire when you have the suspect in your
sights for a one hit LEGAL kill.

These are all the legal and semi legal ways to kill your enemies. None of them
cost a point penalty, however i am sure you must be tired of shouting for
compliance every time you see a suspect. If you have a non-lethal weapon like
a taser gun, just aim and shoot at the suspect without giving him any sort of
warning. Shout for compliance after he has feeled the effect of the weapon.
You will NOT lose any point in this way as well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV.Leaders Lead The Way

You are the leader of the element,REMEMBER IT. Before you start any mission,
YOU have the ability to take a look at the mission information available, what
type of enemies you MAY face, what the supects look like, what are the choices
for making for entering,what type of guns the squad should have etc. Out of
these, the two most important choices are the weapon selection and the entry
point.

You should select the weapons according to the type of enemies you MAY face.
You must choose your entry point intelligently. For example, its best to start
at the roof top and make your way down rather then starting at ground floor
and making your way to the top. It depends on YOU, whether you want to lead the
way like a brave warrior or sit back and cover your squad.

Normally, you will have a lot of choices to make. For example, its best to just
cover your back while your squad breaches a door. This way they will take any
oncoming fire. REMEMBER that if a squad member dies, you lose points, if YOU
die, you fail the mission. Your first preference should be to have your squad
members do the dirty work for you, however, keep an eye on their health. If the
health of two or more of the squad members gets critically low, its time to
take out your assault rifle and lead the way.

Whenever a sniper reports something, enter the sniper veiw port. If it's an
unknown supect but he is armed then take him out. If its a known threat then
DEFINITELY take him out because they will all count as legal kills.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V.Cops Have Four Eyes

You have the ability to see the view point of your squad members apart from
the snipers. While in their sight, you even issue them certain commands. This
may be useful but since you cannot move or do anything else while their view
port, you can only effectively use this feature when you are alone or their are
absolutely no threats nearby.

You can snipe enemies while in the sniper's view port.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI.General Hints/Tips

1.Open all closed doors as you pass by unless you have plans of using a door
wedge on it. The reason i say this is when a suspect runs, 8 times out of ten
he will close all doors behind him. Which means you can trace his path fairly
easily.

2.Report everything to TOC, act as if your life depends on it. Remember that
you will lose some points for every dead/injured body you failed to notify,
every hand-cuffed suspect you failed to notify, any weapon/evidence you failed
to collect, used illegal force etc. So keep that in mind if you want a perfect
100/100 score.

3.The optiwand is your best friend. Make sure its in your inventroy,alongside
the door wedge.

4.Keep an eye on your ammo count, since you DONT have a direct notification on
your screen, you might miss it.

5.The secondry weapons are not useless. At times a pistol is more useful then
an assault rifle.

6.Its best to have to team breach doors rather then you doing it.

8-Weaponry

Scroll down for a weapon analysis.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.Primary Weapons

Primary weapons are those weapons which you will carry most of the time,they
are SMGs,assault rifles etc.So choose wisely,depending on the mission.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.9mm SMG

A.What is it?

It is a small machine gun.

B.How effective is it?

It is an excellent weapon in most cases.It has great accuracy and pretty good
raw power.It is also light in weight,which makes it easier to aim with.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two bullets:

Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)...These bullets have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP)...These bullets inflict far more damage then FMJ
bullets in normal circumstances,i-e when the enemy is not wearing any body
armor,HOWEVER,if the enemy has body armor protecting it,these bullets lose
almost 60 % of their raw power.

I would recommend you to go with the FMJ bullets UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has two fire-modes.Semi-Auto and 3 round burst.I would recommend
you to go with the 3 round burst under normal circumstances.

E.Ammo Capacity

30 rounds per clip.

F.In-Game Description

This 9mm sub-machine gun is designed by world reknown german manufacturer.It is
preferred by many para-military groups throughout the world for urban tactical
engangements. Firing either full metal jacket or jacketed hollow point 9mm
ammunition, it is versatile but lacks the stopping power of an assault rifle.
Its key advantage is its compact design, which allows superior maneuverability
in indoor situations. It is equipped with a fire-mode selector allowing semi-
automatic and three round bursts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.Silenced 9mm SMG

A.What is it?

It is the silenced version of the 9mm SMG.

B.How effective is it?

It is an excellent weapon for stealth purposes,i-e you DONT want the enemy in
the next room to know that you are here.It has a built-in silencer which
reduces fire sounds by almost 50 %(just an observation) and also decreases the
muzzle flash.Like the standard 9mm SMG,this weapon is also easy to aim with,
although it is slighlty heavier due to the silencer.It has the same amount of
raw power if you compare it with the standard 9mm SMG.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two bullets:

Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)...These bullets have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

I would recommend you to go with the FMJ bullets UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has two fire-modes.Semi-Auto and 3 round burst.I would recommend
you to go with the 3 round burst under normal circumstances.

E.Ammo Capacity

30 rounds per clip.

F.In-Game Description

This 9mm sub-machine gun is designed by world reknown german manufacturer.It is
preferred by many para-military groups throughout the world for urban tactical
engangements. Firing either full metal jacket or jacketed hollow point 9mm
ammunition, it is versatile but lacks the stopping power of an colt carbine.
Its key advantage is its compact design, which allows superior maneuverability
in indoor situations. It is equipped with a fire-mode selector allowing semi-
automatic and three round bursts. It also sports a sound and flash suppressor
for when stealth is paramount.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. .45 SMG

A.What is it?

This is sort of an advanced version of the standard 9mm SMG,packing more RAW
power but slightly less accuracy.

B.How effective is it?

It is an equally effective weapon as the 9mm SMG.It has more RAW power then the
standard SMG plus it handles similar to it in almost every way,except that it
is heavier and slightly effects your aiming.It also has a slow rate of fire but
that isnt really a problem.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two bullets:

Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)...These bullets have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

I would recommend you to go with the FMJ bullets UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has two fire-modes.Semi-Auto Full-Auto,i would recommend you to go
with the full-auto mode if you are facing more then three foes nearby,otherwise
stick with the semi-auto mode.

E.Ammo Capacity

25 rounds per clip.

F.In-Game Description

The .45 calibre sub machine gun is compareble to the 9mm SMG in every almost
way. Built largely of glass-fibre reinforced polymers, this light weight sub-
machine gun provides the same reliability as the 9mm model, with the added
punch of a .45 calibre round. The heavy bullet provides superior penetration of
armored targets with FMJ rounds compared to its 9mm brethren, despite having a
lower muzzle velicity and a slower cyclical rate of fire. This model is
equipped with a fire-mode selector allowing semi-automatic and fully automatic
firing modes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.GB36s Assault Rifle

A.What is it?

It is an assault rifle.

B.How effective is it?

The GB36s is a powerful assault rifle,however,it is not the best choice.Aiming
is also slightly difficult to its heavy size.Dont use it in the last 4 missions.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two bullets:

Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)...These bullets have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

I would recommend you to go with the FMJ bullets UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has two fire-modes.2 Shot mode and full-auto.I recommend you to
stick with the two shot mode unless you have more then three foes nearby.

E.Ammo Capacity

30 rounds per clip.

F.In-Game Description

The GB36s assault rifle is a light weight full sized assault rifle originally
developed in the 1990's for the german Budeswehr. It is now world renknown as
an incredibly reliable all round rifle. Firing a mid-sized 5.56 mm (.223)
rifle round, this weapon is equipped with a fire mode selector with 2 round
birst as well as fully automatic firing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.Colt M4A1 Carbine

A.What is it?

It is also an assault rifle,however,it is better then the GB36s model in many
ways.

B.How effective is it?

It is possibly the best weapon in the game.It packs extreme RAW power and can
penetrate through even the toughest of armors.This weapon is an ideal choice
in the later levels,ESPECIALLY the last 4 levels,where the enemies are not only
heavily armed but also heavily protected as well.It also has better aiming then
the GB36s assault rifle.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two bullets:

Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)...These bullets have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

I would recommend you to go with the FMJ bullets UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has two fire-modes.Semi-auto and full-auto.I recommend you to full
auto most of the time.

E.Ammo Capacity

30 rounds per clip.

F.In-Game Description

The Colt M141A carbine is based on the tried and true design of the M16 assault
rifle used by the united states army. The shorter carbine design makes it a
more viable weapon then the M16 in close quarters situations. Using .223
calibre rifle ammunition in both full metal jacket and jacketed hollow point
configurations, the colt carbine is the most powerful weapon available to SWAT
officers. It is equipped with fire mode selector allowing semi automatic as
well as fully automatic firing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.M4 Super 90

A.What is it?

It is a standard shotgun.

B.How effective is it?

It is a fairly good weapon but like all shotguns,if you fire from too far,you
will not damage the enemy properly.The best way to use the M4 super 90 is to
be fairly close to the enemy.The aiming can be somewhat of a problem with this
weapon so you need practice,however,the game is forgiving in a sense that your
will still end up inflicting maximum damage(most of the time) despite being
off-target.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two choices:

12 Gauge Slugs...These 12 gauge slugs have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

00 Buck Shots...These bucks inflict more damage then the 12 gauge slugs in
normal circumstances,i-e when the enemy is not wearing any body armor,HOWEVER,
if the enemy has body armor protecting it,these bucks lose almost 50 % of
their raw power.

I would recommend you to go with the 12 gauge slugs UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has only one fire mode, semi-automatic.

E.Ammo Capacity

5 +25 rounds.

F.In-Game Description

The Benelli M4 super90 shotgun is a higly reliable 12 gauge shotgun that has
proven itself time and again in the field. This model features an auto loader
allowing for semi-autmatic firing of its five round magazine. This powerful
weapon is capable of dealing extreme damage quickly and in a reliable spread.
It has only two drawbacks. The first is that its bulk makes it difficult to
handle in close quarters situations. The second is its small magazine size.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.Nova Pump

A.What is it?

The nova pump can be considered version 1.1 of the M4 SUper 90.

B.How effective is it?

This weapon is almost an exact replica of the M4 Super 90.Minor differences
include a larger magazine and slightly slow fire.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two choices:

12 Gauge Slugs...These 12 gauge slugs have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

I would recommend you to go with the 12 gauge slugs UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon also has only one fire mode.BAM!

E.Ammo Capacity

8 +22 rounds.

F.In-Game Description

A relatively new design from Benelli, the nova pump is the top the line in
pump action shotguns. While firing a bit slower then the semi-automatic M4
Super 90, the attached magazine extendor allows the nova pump to hold upto 8
shells at one time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.Less-Lethal Shotgun

A.What is it?

It is non-lethal version of the nova pump.Although i could i have placed it in
the non-lethal weapons section,i decided against it,since it is a primay weapon

B.How effective is it?

How much do you expect it to be?Seriously,this weapon DID NOT deserve a primary
weapon slot.Since it uses BEANBAGS,it does not have ANY penetration power.
Apart from lowering enemy morale,this weapon has no use at all.

C.Bullets

You have only one choice,BEANBAGS!

D.Fire-Mode

Only one fire-mode.PHUCK!

E.Ammo Capacity

8 +22 rounds.

F.In-Game Description

The Less-Lethal shotgun is a Benelli nova, pump action shotgun which is always
loaded with less then lethal beanbag rounds. It is most oftenly used on an
uncooperative suspect or civilian. This specially designed less lethal shotgun
is necessary to eliminate errors that can occur from individually loading
lethal and less then lethal ammunitions in the same weapon. To remind the
operators that this particular weapon is only to be loaded with less then
lethal ammunition, it has been painted green.

The bean bag ammunition provides a powerful blunt force on the target. This
causes extreme pain and disorientation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.Pepper Ball Gun

A.What is it?

Another non-lethal weapon.

B.How effective is it?

Not effective enough to deserve a primary weapon slot.Using this weapon will
cause the enemy to temporarily cough and wheeze.Since it has a very small range
you have to be up close and personel to the enemy,which makes it even more
useless.

C.Bullets

It uses pepper balls as ammunition.

D.Fire-Mode

It has only one fire-mode,Semi-automatic.

E.Ammo Capacity

200.

F.In-Game Description

The pepper ball gun is based on the technology originally designed for
recreational painball. Compressed carbon dioxide ejects the ammunition at
relatively high velocities. The pepper-ball gun allowes officers to quickly
deploy OC at specific targets, in more easily controlled quantites, and at
significantly lonnger ranges then a grenade or standard pepper spray. With the
large ammunition hooper, this weapon never needs to be reloaded under normal
operating situations.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

II.Secondary Weapons

These are those weapons which you will use as a last ditch effort to save your
life,i-e when you run out of primary weapon ammunition or you have to reload a
primary weapon in the midst of a dangerous battle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.M1911

A.What is it?

It is your standard handgun.

B.How effective is it?

It is a pretty effective secondry weapon,having enough raw power and accuracy
to get you out of a sticky situation.It has an 8 round magazine.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two bullets:

Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)...These bullets have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

I would recommend you to go with the FMJ bullets UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has only a single shot mode.

E.Ammo Capacity

8 rounds per clip.

F.In-Game Description

The colt M1911 handgun has been a mainstay in law enforcement agencies for
decades. This .45 calibre weapon packs a much powerful punch and is the most
common back up weapon for SWAT officers. This emi-automatic weapon has an 8
round magazine and fire both full metal jacket and jacketed hollow point
ammunitions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.9mm Handgun

A.What is it?

It is the same M1911 with a different body and some minor differences.

B.How effective is it?

In terms of raw power,it is NOT as strong as the M1911,however,it has a 17
round magazine,which easily makes up for the lack of power.It is also slightly
easier to aim with this gun in comparison with the M1911.

C.Bullets

You can use anyone of these two bullets:

Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)...These bullets have more pentration power and can
penterate through most body armors.

I would recommend you to go with the FMJ bullets UNDER normal circumstances.

D.Fire-Modes

This weapon has only a single shot mode.

E.Ammo Capacity

17 rounds per clip.

F.In-Game Description

This austrian design handgun is made mostly from hi-tech polymer plastics.This
construction results in a weapon that is incredibly easy to handle and
manipulate. While less powerful then the colt 1911, it boast a 17 round
magazine. Its ease of use, accuracy and 'Safe Action Triggor' has made it a
popular choice among law enforcement agencies.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.Taser Stun Gun

A.What is it?

It is a surprisingly effective non-lethal weapon.

B.How effective is it?

The taser gun has excellent penetration power.It will rip through the toughest
of armors and shock the target.As a result of that shock,the enemy will fall
down on it's knees and comply.However,slow reloading times and a single shot
mode make this weapon almost worthless in normal combat in which you are
surrounded by one or two enemies.Thus,only use this weapon to make a surrounded
enemy/suspect comply.

C.Bullets

It only uses special cartridges.

D.Fire-Modes

It has only a single shot mode.

E.Ammo Capacity

1 +15 rounds.

F.In-Game Description

The taser stun gun works on the principle of elctro-muscular disruption (EMD).
It fires small elctrodes into the target and then sends a powerful electric
shock down the thin wire. The EMD effect causes involuntary contraction of the
target's muscle tissues regardless of an idividuals pain tolerance or mental
focus. The effect is painful and demoralizing to even the most aggressive
suspects.

The taser stun gun has two key drawbacks.The first is that it has a relatively
short range. The second is that the new electrodes must be loaded after each
shot.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III.Breaching Weapons

You will be usuing the weapons in this slot to get through doors,MOST of the
time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.C2 Explosives

A.What is it?

It is a high calibre plastic explosive.

B.How effective is it?

It is a very effective breaching weapon.When the C2 explodes,it not only
destroys the lock but also kills anyone nearby.This can be a good thing as well
as a bad thing.Good,in a sense that if there is an enemy on the other side,he
will be neutralized.BAD,in a sense that if there is a normal civilian on the
other side,he will get killed which costs points.

C.In-Game Description

The C2 breaching charge is a powerful and devasting method of breaching a door.
The compact and specially designed charge destroys the locking mechanism of the
door and forcefully opens the door at the same time. The noise and shock of the
detonation causes people on the other side of the door to react in a similar
manner to a flash bang detonation, which can provide a tactical advantage over
the breaching shotgun.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.Breaching Shotgun

A.What is it?

The quicker albeit slightly dangerous alternative to the C2 explosives.

B.How effective is it?

In comparison with the C2,it destroys the lock quickly.There is also NO riks of
anyone getting injured on the other side.However,when you breach the lock,you
are slightly vulnerable as you are right in front of the door.So either open
and fire or open and back off.

C.In-Game Description

The breaching shotgun is a specially modified, pump action shotgun designed to
breach locked doors. The weapon fires frangible breaching ammo that is designed
to quickly break into very small pieces upon impact. The behaviour reduces
penetration and increases damage upon impsct with hard surfaces. The factors
make it ideal for breaking locks on doors without penetrating the door and
harming anyone on the other side.The toothed extendor on the barrel allows
officers to jam the weapon into the door and ensures the correct distance of
the lock from the breaching ammo to be more specific. Its compact design
permits officers to carry the weapon on their backs allowing it to be carried
easily.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV.Tactical Weapons

These are the weapons that will NOT physically damage the enemy,but will
temporarily incapacitate them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Flash Bang Grenades

A.What is it?

It is a grenade which creates a bright flash of light upon impact.

B.How effective is it?

It is a VERY effective weapon.Just throw a flash bang before entering the room
and everyone will be blinded and deafened for 2-3 seconds.Most of them will
comply after that.However,make sure there is a wall or some other blockade
between you and the grenade when you throw it,so that you DONT end up being
blinded and deafened.If there is nothing available then turn your camera AWAY
fromm the impact point.

C.In-Game Description

The Flash Bang is a diversionary device which stuns and disorients people with
an explosive report and a brilliant flash. People that are affected by the
device can be temporarily blinded and deafened by the blast. During this time,
SWAT has a significant tactical advantage over the affected persons.

Flash Bangs are designed so that they will not fragment on detonation but can
still cause serious injury if detonation takes place in close proxmity to a
person. Caution is advised.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.CS Gas

A.What is it?

It is also known has tear gas.The canister,upon impact will give off a large
area of smoke which will make everyone suffer eye and skin irritation.Most of
them will comply after that.

B.How effective is it?

It is a VERY effective weapon.Just throw a CS gas canister before entering a
room,count to 5 and then enter.Everyone will be coughing at wheezing and will
comply(most of the time).The effects are pretty long lasting.

C.In-Game Description

This grenade emits chlrorbenzylidene malonitrile or CS. CS is a chemical agent
which causes tearing in the eyes and the irritation of the mucus membranes.
Commonly known as tera gas, this agent cause people to lose visual acuity and
have difficulty breathing. While under the infuence of tear gas, suspects are
significant disadvantage when encountering officers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.Sting Grenades

A.What is it?

The sting grenades,upon impact,release a big number of HARD rubbers balls with
a lot of force.It will not deal any physicaly damage but the effect will make
the enemy comply.

B.How effective is it?

It is also very effective.Just throw one before entering the room and then
storm in.Most of the people will comply.

C.In-Game Description

The sting grenade, or stinger, is filled with many small rubber balls. Upon
detonation these balls are ejected from the grenade, bombarding targets with
blunt force projectiles. The rubber balls will not penetrate the skin but can
still cause dizzyness, disorientation, and severe pain from the impact of the
projectiles. While considered less lethal, the sting grenades can cause severe
injury if it detonates in close proxmity to a person.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.Pepper Spray

A.What is it?

A useless alternative to CS gas.

B.How effective is it?

Although it is effective if used,YOU have to be very close to the opponent in
order to use it,which gives other equipment of the same calibre an upper hand
over it.

C.In-Game Description

While generally used for riot control, the hand held pepper spray canisters
can be an effective tool for subdueing uncooperative targets. The active
ingredient in pepper spray is Oleoresin Capsicum or OC. The OC is an in-
flammatory agent that causes the eyes to swell up and close. It also causes a
burning sensation on any exposed skin. Due to its limited range and area of
effect, it is best used in addition to other non-lethal devices to cause a
supect of hostage to comply.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.Optiwand

A.What is it?

It is a camera attached on a stick...sort off :-)

B.How effective is it?

It is a very effective piece of equipment. Using it you can see whats on the
other side of the door as well as being able to see around corners. Make sure
you are the ONE who has it. Life without this device is particularly difficult
in the last couple of levels.

C.In-Game Description

The optiwand is a sophisticated observation device which allows officers to
examine situations around corners and under closed doors without exposing
themselves to the line of fire. On top of the device is a small LCD screen
which displays the images seen by the camera at the end of the expandable rod.
It is an invaluable tool for gathering intelligence on the suspect and
civilation locations before preforming dangerous clear routines and potenially
exposing your team to fire.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.Door Wedge

A.What is it?

It is a device (sort of..) which permanently locks most doors.

B.How effective is it?

It is also a very effective piece of equipment. Using it you can permanently
lock any door so that neither a suspect can go through nor can he enter through
it. A door once locked by a wedge, can only be opened using the wave.

(MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED BEFORE WEDGING IT OTHERWISE YOU MAY ENCOUNTER A
GLITCH)

C.In-Game Description

This specially designed tactical wedge is slid under the door and activated.
The spring loaded action flips up wedges preventing the door from opening from
either direction. The rubber coating along the bottom of the wedge increases
friction making it extremely difficult to push open with brute force. It can
only be removed using a cutting tool reducing the risk of a suspect dislodging
the device.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.Wave

A.What is it?

It is a multi purpose piece of equipment.

B.How effective is it?

It is particularly effective at cutting door wedges.

VI.Red Library Offices

Mission Difficulty: 6/10

Situation:

This started with a bank robbery and turned into an ugly hostage situation.
Robbers were trying to rob a bank but to their bad luck, they tripped the
alarms earlier then they had planned. This news went as a sort of shock to them
but they didnt want all their hard work to go to waste so they continued to
rob the bank. When they were confronted by bank security and police, they
shot two officers and fleed of in a car. Patrol chased them and they finally
crashed into the red library office building. Since this software company has
its employees working late, the robbers found it pretty easy to go into the
building via the open doors and take many people hostage. Negotiations are'nt
going anywhere plus recent firing has been heard. It time for SWAT to make an
entry.

Recommended Weapons For The Team:

on this mission since two of the supects have a gas mask each and CS gas does
NOT affect them. Use the optiwand while breaching so you DONT waste your
flash bangs and stingers.
4.If you have to breach open a locked door, then make sure you use the C2
explosives as they will also stun, maybe hurt the suspects on the other side.
5.You have sniper support in this mission. Use both of your snipers to take
out as MANY armed suspects as you can.

had been informed that illegal bookmaking is taking place in this area. Vice
sent an undercover agent to check out everything. All was going fine when all
of a sudden contact broke with Walsh, the undercover agent. The last words
heard from his transmitter were rather confusing. There are three confirmed
suspects who have a pretty bad history, so we are considering walsh is in
danger. Plus there could atleast 10 more suspects inside. Its time for SWAT to
make its move.

VIII.Duplessis Whole Sale Diamond Centre

Mission Difficulty: 8.5/10

Situation:

We got another tough one. Just before the closing time of this whole sale
diamond center, an armored truck drove through the main security gate. The
alarms were immediately tripped but they took control. There is a hostage
situation as most, if not all of the employees are still inside. The robbers
are very WELL armed and protected. The diamonds in this wholesale centre are
in raw form and therefore are useless to most black markets. We suspect that
they are going to smuggle them out of the country. The vault's security system
has been disabled to prevent the robbers from barricading themselves. They are
ready for a fight, so take caution and go in.

Recommended Weapons For The Team:

Primary Weapon: Colt M4A1 Carbine (FMJ)

other rooms plus lots of moving space. The middle floor is the showroom
alongside some offices. The upper floor is mostly made up of offices.

Recommended Entrance:

Take the service entrance.

Strategy:

1.Remember to wedge as MANY doors as you can apart from the obvious dead
ends like a door leading to the storage room.
2.Use the optiwand as much as you can. Definitely use flash bangs etc when
you have to breach a door,
3.If you have to breach open a locked door, then make sure you use the C2
explosives as they will also stun, maybe hurt the suspects on the other side.
4.You have sniper support in this mission. Use it to take out as many armed
suspects as you can.
5.Remember to collect dropped weapons as they are evidence that count towards
your final score.
6.Remember to report all statuses to TOC.
7.This mission is frustrating and may require a couple of retries. It took me
four retries to get through this mission, so keep your head.
8.Stay alert for threats and shouts, as your optiwand may not be the best
choice at times.

IX.Children Of Taronne Tenement

Mission Difficulty: 8/10

Situation:

Ok, we have here some psychos, and they have a lot of explosives. We recieved
a tip from a public payphone that the group calling themselves children of
the tarnonne tenement, planned to blow up their whole place. This would'nt
have been that much of a problem but they plan to take a chunk of the nearby
locale with them. They are commanded by their leader, Taronne. They consider
him everything, ranging from guru to prophet etc. They are definitely doing
this act under his command. Our paper work shows that they recently purchased
a lot of dangerous explosives. They probably dont know how to handle it as well
They are a group that believes in self defense, so be prepared, take caution
and make an entry.

Strategy:

1.Remember to wedge as MANY doors as you can apart from the obvious dead
ends like a door leading to the storage room.

you have to breach a door,
3.If you see a locked door, then its better to pick it then breach it.

explosives all over the place. Avoid direct confrontations andd avoid firing
bullets.
5.You have sniper support in this mission, use it to take out as many armed
supects as you can.

X.St. Michaels Medical Center

Mission Difficulty: 7.5/10

Situation:

We got an international incident on our hands. Mr.Park was attacked by six gun
men while exiting a restaurant earlier. His personel security managed to thwart
the attack but he got injured. He was rushed to the St. Michael's hopital for
treatment. At that time, security was'nt possible so his personel security
accomponied him. Mr.Park is a very important person of South Korea and is in
favour of unification. It is possible that the attackers dont like his
intentions. The attackers that assaulted him earlier were very well armed
and organized. Now attackers have attacked the St. Michaels hospital, they are
probably the same bunch. They dont want to take hostages etc and are very well
armed and protected. They are hunting down Mr.Park. Its time for SWAT to strike
and conquer.

available on the street. Over undercover agent has been working on his illegal
operations for some time now. He managed to get information about a recent

XII.Old Granite Hotel

Mission Difficulty: 7.5/10

Situation:

Ok, this time we have semi-psychos. The self proclaimed representative of
american people,'America Now' has taken two people hostage. Both were active
participants in renovating the old granite hotel. One was the investor and
the other one was the contractor. The militia group 'America Now' is very
much against foriegners investing in USA, immigration free trade etc and are
demanding 12 million dollars by midnight as ransome. Their previous history is
not good and their inexperience with the hostages makes them even more
dangerous. Plus their are bombs on site. Recent firing has been heard, time to
take action.

mostly under construction.

Recommended Entrance:

Go through the elevator shaft.

Strategy:

1.Remember to wedge as MANY doors as you can apart from the obvious dead
ends like a door leading to the storage room.

time if you know what you are doing. I wont list their locations simply because
they are randomly placed. Just use your senses and look for the briefcases.

XIII.Mt. Threshold Research Centre

Mission Difficulty: 8.5/10

Situation:

I hate psychos! We have another set of psychos here. This one calls themselves
The Army Of Faith. They just invaded the Mt. Threshold research centre. This
research centre specializes in DNA cloning. These guys are against it and have
openly expressed their will that they will die but wont let the research
centre live. They have taken one of the main researchers hostage, who should
be your top most priority. Plus there is a suitcase (belonging to the same
hostage redearcher) containing contact information about the other senior DNA
cloning researchers over the world. This list MUST NOT get in their hands.
Lets get moving.

Recommended Weapons For The Team:

Primary Weapon: Colt M4A1 Carbine (MJ)
Secondary Weapon: Taser Stun Gun
Breaching Weapons: C2 Explosives
Non-Lethal Weapons: Door Wedges, CS gas, Flash Bangs, Sting Grenades

Recommended Weapons For Yourself:

Primary Weapon: Colt M4A1 Carbine (FMJ)
Secondary Weapon: 9mm Handgun (FMJ)
Breaching Weapons: C2 Explosives
Non-Lethal Weapons: Optiwand, CS Gas, Flash Bangs, Sting Grenades, door
wedges as well.

Building Layout:

I'd say ultra confusing would be the best word to describe this building. It
is a two storey building. There are lots of doors, enough to drive even the
most sane person insane. Plus there are two sets of stairs linking the two
floors, which can make matters pretty confusing at times. Plus the whole
area is pretty open, so you have to SEARCH for cover.

Recommended Entrance:

Go through side one, level one. The front doors and foyer.

Strategy:

1.Remember to wedge as MANY doors as you can apart from the obvious dead
ends like a door leading to the storage room.
2.Use the optiwand as much as you can. Definitely use flash bangs etc when
you have to breach a door,
3.If you have to breach open a locked door, then make sure you use the C2
explosives as they will also stun, maybe hurt the suspects on the other side.
4.Remember to collect dropped weapons as they are evidence that count towards
your final score.
5.Remember to report all statuses to TOC.
6.You have to retrieve that all important briefcase in this mission. It is
generally in the same room as the hostage senior researcher (Dr. Theodore
Sturgeon). It has large and dark grey in a colour and generally on a table.
7.At times, leave compliant suspects alone and take out the any other immediate
danger first. You can handcuff them later.
8.I hope you have plenty of practise with the Colt M4A1 carbine as you will
eventually end up losing atleast two officers midway or during the end and you
might have to lead the way.

11-Multiplayer

This is the multiplayer section of the faq, before we start let me repeat the
requirements.

I.Multiplayer Requirements

Minimum Requirements:
Windows 98SE, Windows� 2000 with Service Pack 3, or Windows� XP with Service
Pack 1
DirectX� 9.0c
1.0 GHz Intel� Pentium� III, Intel� Celeron� 1.2 GHz, AMD� Athlon� 1.2 GHz, or

2 GB hard drive space
Windows�-compatible mouse
****56kbps modem for online play (Cable modem or DSL recommended)***

I have a cable modem so i had a very decent gaming experience.Now onto the
main part.This section will not give you every bit of detail for the multi-
player part of the game, this is just a general overview with some hints and
tips.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

II.GOLDEN RULE

"Practise makes perfect".
The multiplayer mode of this game is not the best in the world and to be
honest it is very frustrating at times. You will want to smash your head in the
monitor many-a-times while playing the multiplayer mode but calm down and keep
your head. Everything has a solution. Lets discuss some good and bad aspects of
the multiplayer game.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III.Bad Aspects Of The Multiplayer Mode

The multiplayer part isnt as BAD as the people who use it. The biggest flaw is
lack of a voting system while playing. Many-a-times you will encounter a
disruptive person who finds great joy in killing his team members or messing
with your current objecive. The admins DONT punish these guys and you cannot
vote them out of the game. So, escorting a VIP to a safe location tends to
become a full time job.

Even if you are a seasoned multiplayer gamer, you will find it very difficult
to cope with your objectives during your earlier times of playing. The multi-
player mode of this game is VERY different from other games like counter strike
etc. In most other first person shooter multiplayer games, you WIN if you are
FAST. You have to run fast, you have to shoot fast and basically everthing has
to be done quickly otherwise you are a goner. HOWEVER, this game is completely
opposite to other games.

You have to be SLOW and STEADY. You have to aim properly and any action such as
moving or standing up while aiming will result in a completely off-target shot.
Plus you cannot sprint and have to move SLOWLY. The pathetic gas mask you are
given tends to block out 50% of the screen. Plus you will encounter many
glitches during your gameplay experience. It has personally happened to me
more then 10 times in which i am shooting an enemy like crazy and it isnt even
putting a scratch on him. So, such glitches and completely different gameplay
results in lesser people wanting to play the online mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV.Good Aspects of The Multiplayer Mode

Things are'nt that BAD once you get the hang of things. Like i said earlier,
"Practise Makes Perfect". Ten days of solid multiplayer gaming will make you a
pro and you will actually enjoy the good aspects of the mode. The most
enjoyable moments in my multiplayer gaming experience were when you arrest a
heavily armed enemy using a non-lethal weapon. That gives a warm fuzzy feeling
that your hard work paid off.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V.Extra Weapons/Equipment Of Multiplayer Mode

These are the weapons and equipment which are not present in the single player
mode but only in the multiplayer mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Gal Sub-Machine Gun

A.What is it?

It is a type of machine gun.

B.How effective is it?

It is pretty effective at close ranges. It is also light in weight and aiming
is pretty easy with it.

It has a very mean recoil. It is very ineffective at long ranges. It has no
flash light.

D.Fire-Modes

It has two fire modes. An automatic mode and a semi-automatic mode.

E.Ammo Capacity

30 rounds per clip.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.AK-47

A.What is it?

It is the terrorist's choice of assault rifle.

B.How effective is it?

This weapon packs EXTREMEM RAW POWER. It is probably the most powerful assault
rifle of the game and is equally effective at both, long and close ranges.

C.Drawbacks

In simple words, EVREYTHING ELSE. It has a very bad recoil, it is difficult to
aim with it, the accuracy is also moderate and it does not have a flash light.

D.Fire-Modes

It also has two fire modes. An automatic mode and a semi-automatic mode.

E.Ammo Capacity

30 rounds per clip.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.Colt Python

A.What is it?

It is the most perful secondary weapon of the game.

B.How effective is it?

In terms of RAW power, no secondary weapon can match it. This is a one hit
kill gun at close range and pretty effective at long ranges as well.

C.Drawbacks

It has a very slow rate of fire. It does'nt have a flash light.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.Helmet

A.What is it?

It is a protective equipment for your head.

B.How effective is it?

This piece of equipment will prevent you from being shot in the head.Flash
bang grenades dont have any effect on you while wearing this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.Gas Mask

A.What is it?

It is also a sort of protective equipment for your HEAD REGION.

B.How effective is it?

It reduces the effect of pepper sprays and pepper guns by 50 %.That just about
summarises it's capabilities. It does NOT give you any head protection and
also blocks 50% of your vision.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.Light Armor

A.What is it?

The lighter version of body armor.

B.How effectie is it?

It is good for blocking heavy fire, plus moving capabilities are NOT effected
much while wearing this armor. However, it is very ineffective at close ranges
or when you are under heavy enemy fire.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.Heavy Armor

A.What is it?

The stronger version of body armor.

B.How effective is it?

This is an extremely effective armor, even under heavy enemy fire. The drawback
is that your moving capabilities are noticeably affected while wearing this
armor.

13-Cheat Codes

Use this section if the going gets too tough for you (taken from gameFAQs)

Open up Swat4.ini and go down to the title "[Engine.GameEngine]".
Change "EnableDevTools=False" to "EnableDevTools=True".

Now, during the gameplay, just type the ~ button next to 1 key, and the
command console will appear and type these in.

You must enter every code at the beginning of every mission.
E.G if you enter god in one mission, in the next mission you will become
Vulnerable again and therefore, must enter the cheat again.Code Effect
behindview 1 3rd Person
behindview 0 Back To First person
SetGravity X Changes Gravity to X (Replace X With number desired)
God God Mode
SetJump X changes how high you jump to X (Replace X With number desired)
Ghost No Clip
Walk Turns no Clip Off

To help those just wanting to get through the career mode easily.
Health Mod
Open the following file in Wordpad: <Swat Path>\Content\System\SwatGame.ini
Find the following lines of code:
-----
SPDamageModifierEasy=0.5;
SPDamageModifierNormal=1.0;
SPDamageModifierHard=1.5;
SPDamageModifierElite=1.5;
-----
Change the "0.5" in easy, for instance, to 0.0 to get unlimited health in
easy mode. You can still be injured (can't run, can't get 100/100) but you
will not be killed and neither will your squad mates.

Virtually Unlimited Ammo for Weapons
Open SWATEQUIPMENT.INI located in your SWAT 4 system folder
(\Sierra\SWAT 4\System) with any text editor (notepad, wordpad) and find
this string: MagazineSize=xxxx

In any of these weapons:

- Benelli M90
- Benelli Nova
- Breaching Shotgun
- Less-Lethal Shotgun
- Pepper Gun (CS Ball Launcher)
- Taser Stun Gun

By editing/changing the value (number, xxxx) to a million or two you
should have virtually unlimited ammo for your preferred weapon. For example,
if you change:

MagazineSize=5

In Benelli M90 Shotgun section with:

MagazineSize=1000000

You'll have Benelli M90 Shotgun (if selected as an equipment) with 1000000
ammo. The team members will also have the same effect if they have Benelli M90
Shotgun as their primary weapon.

There are some notice I want you should be care about:

1. Please don't get confused between RoundBasedWeapon and ClipBasedWeapon. Put
the string "MagazineSize=1000000" in Heckler & Koch MP5 or M4 Carbine will give
you no result since all machine guns, sub-machine guns and pistols
(except for Taser Stun Gun) are "identified" as ClipBasedWeapon. I don't have
any idea about changing the ammo value for these guns.

2. Watch the string "BadGuy" in every weapon section, usually in the middle of
the document(SWATEQUIPMENT.INI) since putting the string "MagazineSize=1000000"
in these sections will result the suspects get the same ammount of ammo just
like yours. The common example are ; Benelli M90 compared with ; BadGuy Benelli
M90.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14-My Short Review Of The Game

This is a little short review by me. This review is also available on the
GameFAQs review page.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swat 4 is the fourth and by far the best entry in the popular franchise.
Featuring realistic physics and environments enhanced by brilliant sound
effect and great game play make for an experience that is highly unforgettable
To put it short, you will end up playing at least 15 hours of this game before
you actually get bored.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game-Play:

9/10

The game-play of SWAT 4 is very realistic. You are a COP and that's exactly
how you should behave.So running in a room with gun's blazing will only end
up in a mission failure. When you see a suspect (every one IS a suspect),
you first order him to surrender and put down his guns. If he complies then
handcuff him, if he resists use some non-lethal weapons to get his attention,
if he fires back THEN must you use your own weapons. You must try to use as
little of lethal force as possible. Your teammates are very smart and
responsive and follow your orders to the maximum effect. This makes for a
very enjoyable experience.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Graphics:

9/10

The graphics of SWAT 4 are highly detailed featuring real life physics plus
interact-able environments. While this is a good thing but be sure to have a
high quality graphics card to see the full effect otherwise you end up on
medium detail graphics just like I did on my relatively low end 128 mega byte
Ge-force Fx 5200 graphics card. Best example of graphics can be seen if you
throw a flash bang or sting grenade right next to your self. The visual
effect that is produced is by far the best I have seen in a long time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Audio:

8.5/10

The game features very little voice acting but it is pretty good, specially
the voice of your character. The sound effects of this game are excellent and
the music is pretty high caliber. Most of the time it is right according to
the situation. Although at times it can be a little off-track.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multi-player:

7/10

The multi-player mode of the game is pretty much the only disappointing thing
in the game. You need a lot of practice to get used to it and only THEN will
you enjoy it. But some aspects of the multi-player mode are just sheer
frustrating; they cannot be ignored no matter how hard you try. A little
more polish and it would have been much better.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall Score:

8.4/10

Buy/Ignore:

If you are a fan of realistic action based games like rainbow shooter etc
then definitely give this game a shot. And if you are looking for some good
well-made action, go buy it now.
