To simulate realistic police procedures, SWAT 4' encourages the use of non-lethal force to subdue and arrest subjects rather than incapacitating or killing them. In addition, players must follow strict protocol to ensure proper use of force. Players may not fire on suspects with lethal weapons unless the suspect points their firearm at a fellow officer or a civilian. Penalties are given for unauthorized use of force, injuries to hostages, officer incapacitation, and personal injury. On the higher difficulty levels, more points are required to pass the mission, with 100 being perfect. On the most difficult level, Elite, players need a 95/100 to pass, and will fail for killing even a single suspect, losing more than two team members without committing an infraction, or committing any infraction in addition to being injured.

I've been a fan of earlier iterations of the series (particularly SWAT 2) and been taking pot shots at this past week looking to release the spoon on a tactical shooter. Vanilla game is definitely a mixed bag. But I havent actually seen a game like this (beyond Swat 3) its a thinking shooter in the sense that things can happen and the map can change a bit as far as where enemy/hostage placement is and its fun to go through missions several times as if they were practice drills. but god, the UI and control scheme for giving commands to team mater is AWFUL

going to try Elite Force Mod https://www.moddb.com/mods/swat-elite-force
