[SWAT 4] Tactics that make you go, "Hmmmm"

[Columbo]

That argument is really weak. Roleplay or not... you know these maps by heart, even if you pretend they are "new" to you.
And when mirroring you never see the room completely. You too make use of map layouts and sus positions, then deciding not to use grenades when suspects are not in their "expected" positions! Think about that.

@Selena: im sure with a squad of experienced human officers it is also possibe to do full score on SWAT3. Besides the Less-Lethal weapons are way more realistic in that game!

@Columbo you misunderstood.

I meant i play it like new, meaning they ask to mirror and i mirror and tell them the exact positions that i can see in the mirror and say also there is a blind corner and not just say behind that door theres a blind corner that 90% have a suspect there without mirroring

Just because i might know where the sus are, doesn't mean i don't need to play the game anymore like you need with tools.

Hey,
indeed i not really understand your argumentation.
You say: telling beginners the exact position of suspects is not spoiling the game for them, but ordering a grenade does?

I'd rather say exactly that is a main reason for EXPERIENCED players not using the opti: you spoil the game and nullify the (awesome) randomization system of the game.
Of course i know ROUGHLY what to expect in a room (cause i know the maps). BUT using an opti i know EXACTLY what is going on.
That takes away a lot of the challenge.

I never denied using an opti is a pretty safe way and very suitable for beginners (but then they have to use it themselves). That also was not my point! I'd NOT say "never use it".
There are good arguments for and against the use of the mirror device.
But its excessive use at every door is simply spoiling the game for everyone and slows down gameplay (which takes away immersion) - in my oppinion!

Greetings

Fair enough. Do you identify yourself as police to those you encounter?

Usually yes! Sometimes i mimed a pizzaboy, but for some reason that never worked!
