A crazed militia seizes the top floors of a major hotel and plants explosives all over the place! It’s the SWAT team’s deadliest mission yet! Will Lieutenant Spoony be up to the challenge? Or did the title spoil it for you?
59?! O.O I would have thrown the controller down in defeat and not touch the damned thing for the rest of eternity. Or I would have just shot all my “comrades” out of pure rage. ._.
My first guess was 50. I wasn’t too far off the mark.
I just got SWAT 4 (after watching all of these videos multiple times each), and I’ve got a bit of a problem. My squad mates rarely say anything. Like, at all. In these videos, they tell Spoony that he’s in their spot if he’s in the same room as them, but I can’t seem to get them to say it even if I’m directly in their way. I’m a complete novice to PC gaming, so maybe I’m just dumb and can’t figure out how to get them to talk, but can someone enlighten me?
I know many time you died in this game TOO FUCKING MUCH!!! Good thing idon’t play SWAT 4 you’re i’ll be cussing like you here’s my edvise say”I AM A MAN” and punch somting that hlep meAND no i’m not linkara! seeya spoony
Damn, 59 attempts on one level! I knew I should have guessed 60, but I said 50. Still, congrats for finally beating that level. I would’ve probably gotten so angry that I would destroy the disc or just give up.
The best way to take care of the bathroom guy is to just pick the lock of the outside doors, throw nothing in, and then breach the bathroom. C2 should usually make him submit right off the bat, but if not you just taze him and it’s over. I have to agree still, though, this is a very brutal level. It took me numerous tries and numerous in-game sessions to get this one right. And one time I actually finished the level, only to realize that I got slapped for unauthorized use of deadly force THREE TIMES for bullshit reasons and just barely didn’t make the 50 point cut for passage on the normal difficulty. Talk about unfair.
I know from past videos you don’t like the paintaball gun but I assure you it is so much easier
And the taser is best since usually they are right next to the door and you can kinda clip through the door with it. You can also scare them by shooting the door.
I think the biggest punch to the gut is that the second run was so close to being a win. The last guy killed him, and seconds before a SWAT ignored a man with a gun. Anyways, thanks for all your work Spoony!
SWAT4 is far easier if you squat during combat. You present a smaller target and have far better accuracy(if you still have your arms). Also, you could just always use C2 on the bathroom doors, as it does not count as an unauthorized kill. Lastly, anytime a bad guy points his gun at you or a hostage you can kill without penalty.
Damn… I just played this mission after a long break, and the very last guy killed me when i was switching to a teaser…
BTW, thanks so much for this video series. If it wasn’t for you I’d never try to play this awesome game,
I guessed 72 xD…you said a lot, so i’ve went overboard xD
Whel I’ve passed this mission at my first atempt, with all my guys xD…lucky I guess
The guy in the bathroom, it was easy if we went trought the other room that connects with the room wuth that bathroom, then C2 on the door and no one gets hurt xP
Wow, this may be one of history’s greatest examples of gaming patience.
I actually managed to get through this on my first try, in no small part due to the info you provided in the video, and also a fair amount of luck. With the bathrooms I learned (through guesswork based on the video), that the best method is to pick the door leading into the room, then C4 the bathroom. This works pretty well, though those guys are still absurdly annoying. I thought I went through a personal meatgrinder on the Auto Shop level where for some reason or another it took me more than 13 tries to beat it (every other level didn’t take more than 4). Damn, that’s some patience.
And, of course, GIVE US MORE. Please… these are the funniest current items on the site (this and Ripper). It’d be great if you went on and did the Stetchkov missions after you finished the vanilla game.
Spoony one I agree with you on how hard this level was, but imagine trying to do it with paint ball guns and the bean bag shotty….I was throwing words left and right out, and I hated trying to get the guys in the bathroom and on the stairs.
That level was a repeated swift kick in the balls…I would have smashed the CD to pieces with a claw hammer after the thirtieth failed mission. What they needed to give you was a spare squad so you would have at least ten guys to absorb the bullets.The mission really needed air support in the form of two choppers with loundspeakers and miniguns to announce the surrender call and then strafe the crap out of the unfinished upper stories (because these loonies aren’t leaving.) After that, you could send in squad A while squad B makes certain that nobody escapes, or send in the second squad after the first is shot to bits. Even without the air support I still think you would need at least two extra guys because the militia members are damn good.
But then you would have twice as many people telling you “Your in my way sir” and you would probably end up killing your own team 85% of the time if you had two squads.

But you would be making the odds more even and I would tolerate the retard “You’re in my way, sir” SWAT officer a lot more if a level like that was a bit easier. To be honest I would rather let the militia blow themselves up then waste valuable specialized police…but nobody wants to go that route so give the SWAT guys all the help they can get.
As much as more man power goes, honestly I don’t feel like blowing away a whole extra team of Tard Police just becuase they get in my way, it’s already bad enough they don’t see the guy in the corner or behind the garbage can, but I do get what you are saying about more man power.
Attempt #49 cracked me up:
“DIE! DIE! DIE YOU FUCKER!”
Then Spoony loses it and kills his SWAT team:
“FUCK YOU GUYS TOO!”
Great stuff Spoony. Hopefully we’ll see more “Let’s play” of SWAT 4. You made me pick up this game and learn about true frustration through failing a mission by 1 point due to unauthorized use of force…
I was hoping the same thing. I just finished it myself a couple of days ago. It’s not quite as long as the original game, but the levels are a bit harder I think.
Very funny video! I have watched this at least ten times, heh.
Few tips though how to avoid “musical montages”:
1. Use german G36 instead of M4. Mostly because it has burst, while M4 only auto or semi. MP5 is also accurate and compact.
2. Crouch and lean. Don’t run around corners.
3. Use C2 for small rooms, like bathrooms. And pick the locks, if you want to get stealthy advantage.
4. Taser is really handy, when it comes to close combat and tight corners. When you see suspect camping behind obstacle, equip taser and surprise him. If you just shout, you have to wait for his reaction, which will probably cause your death. I mean they draw really fast.
5. Use optiwand for every door and even corners. It may take time but it will save your ass.
6. Open the doors from side.
7. Pointing the door and ordering “deploy cs/flash/sting” is useful, when you want team to throw grenade in, but stay in cover.
8. When suspects don’t have masks (they have in Red Library and DuPlessis), you really want to use gas. It is probably the most effective nade. Good range (fills the whole room) and the affect takes long.
There’s an easy way to take-out thugs in bathrooms.
Step 1: Place a charge on the door yourself. Even if it’s unlocked.
Step 2: Get your team and your ass away from the door.
Step 3: Blow the door open.
Step 4: Use whatever means you prefer to assault the now-unprotected hostile. Grenades work wonders.

59!!!! I would of throw the controller, PC and game out the window and then repeatly stamped on it by then!! Congrats on hanging on in there!

whats the name of the Bob Seger song he uses in the montage?

Wow, thanks for taking the time to make this vid for us Spoony. Very entertaining.
Damn, 59 attempts on one level! I knew I should have guessed 60, but I said 50. Still, congrats for finally beating that level. I would’ve probably gotten so angry that I would destroy the disc or just give up.
I guessed spot on, as soon as you said write down on a little piece of paper, i said … 59… Must’ve been a very lucky guess, I mean, what are the odds?
At Alex: You may have downloaded a version of the game that has the voices cut, I have done so before.
one thing i notice is that he has trouble getting his accuracy.
does SWAT 4 reduce recoil when you crouch? most realism-like shooting games i played make you more accurate when you crouch.
even Grand Theft Auto makes you more accurate when you crouch.
You really had a problem at this mission ?
I took the colt and everything went right. (sure, three of my guys died) but in one only try we did it.
Watch out, this ain’t the toughess mission. But it’s comming…
And the best way to stop the gunman in the bathroom is with breaching or C2 (C2 is more recomanded)

Bob Seger – Shakedown (its not on the spoify though…) is the cool montage theme. :)

i guessed 52…………………………..MAN!!!!!!!!!!
59!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS A SPICY MEATBALL!!!!!!!!
however that is NOTHING compared to ninja gaiden
Don’t have your guys standing by the door and open it standing by the wall. Problem solved.
Holy… dang…
I tell you that you have great patience, Spoony.
Honestly… I probably would have done similar in your position.
Oh, and, I had guessed 61…. That was pretty close, huh?
But, that’s just my own self-absorbed thought. Really, I applaud your efforts and praise your patience. And, yes, they were in your way, sir.
he died at least 21 times and just decided to move through the deaths in tens than in ones

Also, you could just always use C2 on the bathroom doors, as it does not count as an unauthorized kill. Lastly, anytime a bad guy points his gun at you or a hostage you can kill without penalty.
Hmmm, balls hard level, cheap ass enemy AI tatics, and shoddy team AI, I’m guessing 27
Damn… I just played this mission after a long break, and the very last guy killed me when i was switching to a teaser…
BTW, thanks so much for this video series. If it wasn’t for you I’d never try to play this awesome game,
Wow, so I was way off, but still my favorite part of all the swat videos is the commentary written when its over.
It safe to say THEY were in MY way sir! LMFAO
man i was wayyy off i guessed at 28 lol, you’ve certainly got more determination than me spoony well done :)
I guessed 72 xD…you said a lot, so i’ve went overboard xD
Whel I’ve passed this mission at my first atempt, with all my guys xD…lucky I guess
The guy in the bathroom, it was easy if we went trought the other room that connects with the room wuth that bathroom, then C2 on the door and no one gets hurt xP
LOL when 12 became 22. man, what a tough mission.

Attempt #12 I mean #22 was fucking hilarious, I could just sense the anger and venom in your voice when you said: “Oooooooh oooh that was good!”

When are we going to see the next one?
Strelnikov

Hey spoony Guess they have the bomb now, that old lady must have had connections.

Great stuff Spoony. Hopefully we’ll see more “Let’s play” of SWAT 4. You made me pick up this game and learn about true frustration through failing a mission by 1 point due to unauthorized use of force…
I do hope we get to see some spoony Swat 4 expansion action.
I was hoping the same thing. I just finished it myself a couple of days ago. It’s not quite as long as the original game, but the levels are a bit harder I think.
They are extremely hard if you try to do the whole Use pepper ball guns and beanbag shotties I hate not being able to blast away with my magnum.
59? Dang, I guessed 53…
Anyways, I was wondering if tazing would have been a good strategy on the bathroom guys.
Very funny video! I have watched this at least ten times, heh.

hey spoony!!
are you planning on doing the expansion?
