Game balancing should always trump "IRL" arguements, IRL there would be far more SWAT members/Police than suspects on each scenario.

This is definitely why we’ve never added options, though we’re looking at some solutions for that that have other balancing consequences. But yeah you’re spot on.

Also let us use both lights and lasers

I believe there was a thread the other day about this and a dev replied saying that it's something to look forward to in a future update. Could be mistaken.

Planned yeah.

Your game is what made me finally commit to learning Unreal 5, and my team and I have already started our first game! So I just wanted to thank you for that, you've made an incredible product.

That's so cool to hear. All the best on your game! Unreal 5 will definitely make things easier with all of the extra features.

As title says, suspects are seemingly tracking me through the wall and shooting at me. Luckily the bullets cannot go through this wall. This is at the entrance in the Neon nightclub.

I am also seeing suspects ignoring near hits. I fired 4 shots from an SR-16 at someone walking by at the top of the staircase. They just kept walking by with no reaction. Same thing happened on the night ranch map with a UMP-45 with two different suspects. Fired a burst at each, neither responded.

Other problems in the latest build seem to be that I cannot get officers to restrain some downed suspects. Seems to be random, but about 1 out of 5 I cannot get the restrain prompt to show up.

Thanks for this, will take a look. Are you running any mods?

When OP posted this i didn't know which nightclub he was talking about, cause it's not just one.. i hope the campaign and other missions follow the same style in the regard and perhaps with more fleshed out story before and after missions, some in your audience may come to understand why it's important to not just "kill all suspects". Swat 4 had dark themes, but bad guys were generally only bad. I think you guys have got the same increasingly depressing feedback from TOC as you report more casualties, this really also immer...

By the time this game is done I hope that we have a very confronting and enlightening tactical shooter that gets players to think a little bit more about the situations and how it affects your team.

I know the sloppy execution is why we died but homie was cracked out blastin us

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.

Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).

Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.

Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Siren was already dead.

I would've loved to jump in on this one but alas, it was 5am! These guys did a great job of fielding all the questions -- they're experts in their respective fields, and the ethic we have at void means all of them are knowledgeable regarding most other sides of development. Great show!

Head of steel. We need to add some sort of sound and reaction when this happens ha

Active shooter should be the most intense game mode. Having to rush in and take risks with little to no information against a heavily armed person or group that’s trying to hunt and kill civilians.

We made some minor changes ramping up to bigger ones, but how did you feel about civilians running outside to safety when they could? This was one of the things I didnt see much feedback on -- makes me wonder if it isn't working sometimes.

It does, to a degree. The John Wick AI doesn’t kick in unless they’re triggered (line of sight or officers commands). If you order your AI to breach a room, they advance farther into the room as you enter as well, meaning in open maps, they go further than they should, triggering enemies further out.

An example is meth house. The first room, there was a door on the left that led to a small hall way with 2 bedrooms and a bath room. Breaching the first room prevented your AI from going into that hall way until you were ready. Now that door no longer exists and your AI wander into that hallway by default and any of those doors being open results in a huge fire fight because either 1) the AI’s see each other or 2) friendly AI auto commands triggering the enemy AI. Now combine the two issues of AI stumbling where they shouldn’t.

Closed off maps don’t fix the AI, but it lets me engage the AI when I’m prepared to do so. These two issues work in tandem. It’s a reason why I ...

This is a great little piece of feedback, and I agree. I actually was the one who removed the doorway there but I did it for aesthetic reasons not for the right ones, at all. I think in a future update we will fix this because I've seen more issues crop up as a result (when before that space was actually a very tense area to have a firefight in.

Thanks, we try! Sometimes goes a bit ghosty on the Reddit though so I apologize in advance whenever that happens!

Yeah we'll be more conscious of what dates we're releasing stuff.. there are probably a handful of other dates we would have to look miss too, now, unfortunately. Really horrible state of affairs right now.

Hi Gruntr!

Personally I haven’t noticed any sort of laser accuracy through walls. I think it is just people hiding within 1 foot of the doorframe they disappeared through. (Since the newest update)

One question for you! At some point will we get the ability to “tap” our friends shoulders? It should make organizing cqb with 5+ people on complex geometry much more manageable!

Initially we were against shoulder tapping because it felt pointless...

...but now I'm confident we're gonna add it, it would serve bigger operations well. :)
