AWells Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 Well, anyways, for anybody who hasn't seen them Raven Shield is the third Rainbow Six installment and SWAT: Urban Justice is the Sierra's next SWAT title. To put it mildly, Raven Shield looks fantastic... using the Unreal engine and blowing away any of the previous titles from Red Storm Entertainment in eye candy. I have to say, though, that I'm very disappointed that they made a choice not to model bullet penetration through walls... really I think that was one of the best features of SWAT 3 or at least the most fun. Other than that, it features more weapons and will use the Rainbow Six style of equipping operatives rather than the Kit system introduced in Ghost Recon. SWAT: Urban Justice on the other hand looks... well, corny, to put it mildly at least next to the super realistic graphics of Raven Shield. Something about the feel of the graphics reminds me of the Resident Evil games and I can't help but wonder if the SWAT team will get call ups to battle zombies when I look at the screen shots. Sierra also dropped the LAPD name from what I understand, in order to incorporate a variety of other features they wanted to include such as female officers and riot shields... none of which are used by the LAPD SWAT. On the plus side, weapons and ballistics modeling is supposed to be some of the most detailed ever... with richochets, over penetration, and the ability to customize weapons quite extensively. Anyways, both games are due out in the early 2003. [ 10-22-2002, 05:50 AM: Message edited by: Litvyak ]
Guest $iLk Posted October 22, 2002 Report Posted October 22, 2002 I think I may start up my armpatches site again if Raven Shield kicks as much @$$ as the original Rogue Spear did.... I would post the link here but it'd kill my bandwidth after 2 viewings. I need to get rid of a streaming MP3 that's on there.
Guest Grayfox Posted October 24, 2002 Report Posted October 24, 2002 ooo beefy. raven shield looks fantastic. and i agree with litvyak, swat UJ looks cheesey. i loved the original SWAT 3 because you had the option to not kill someone, and i though that was great. i wonder if theyll implement the same system in UJ or trash it and go with the same FPS garbage.
goaliejerry Posted October 25, 2002 Report Posted October 25, 2002 The spoken audio in the preview for UJ is exactly the same dialouge used in swat. Yeah swat was cool because the AI was smart and arresting instead of killing people. That game was sweet.
AWells Posted October 25, 2002 Author Report Posted October 25, 2002 Oh... you're supposed to arrest people in SWAT 3?? That kind of defeats the fun of being able to shoot through walls to kill people... there's nothing like clearing out a house without even setting foot inside (The M-14 with FMJ ammo from the Elite Edition worked wonders for that).
Guest Grayfox Posted October 25, 2002 Report Posted October 25, 2002 ummm yes youre supposed to challenge the fool first at least BEFORE you fill him with holes... or my fav, shoot him first then challenge camping outside and shooting thru walls and windows was my fav thing in DM. just camp out in the front yard in the brentwood house mission with my m4 with the 100 round mag and just light up the whole house
