@@ChrisTHECOP Thank you for the commentary , the viewers like seeing you and what your reaction is to these games / what you have to say . Please continue making videos at your own pace !
It's a pretty common complaint with the AI right now that the AI behaves unrealistically and are extremely resilient to suppression methods. The C2 you brought up was a perfect example of that. Hopefully the developers watch this video and realize they need to make suppression methods actually effective.
It's good to know a real SWAT team would have better cover on the initial approach. I've always felt highly exposed at the start of this mission. Great video!
homie it doesnt matter the funding, you can be the lowest of the low swat team but your requirements are a swat car at least you dont just go on foot to the location@@Spicydeluxecombo
I miss the sniper/marksman from SWAT4. He could be used to peek into certain rooms and engage them. Had he been where you said you wanted overwatch he probably would've seen the enemies at entrance 2 and notified you.
Hey there Chris! You can actually listen to the briefings and 911 calls/other info before loading into the mission. There are also maps that can help (but can also be inaccurate, for instance the one for 23mb has some extra rooms marked for the server farm which arent there). This way, you dont stand around exposed, which can actually kill you on some maps.
I think it is low key either genious that for example in the Hotel level that the possibly original old blueprints for a 1931 hotel do not match the current layout of the hotel level for example, since it has been renovated and remodeled through the years - It just is the best intel the team got before the mission. It took me some time to figure it out and then blew my mind. I just find it so cool and larpy😎
@@kala1780[possible spoiler] The Rust Belt map has the possibly worst map out of all of them - some doodles from a police officer, from what MIGHT be the cave. Thats it.
@@historyman9436Yup, kind of loved and chuckeld a bit that when I saw it the first time. 🤣 And to further my earlier message, I love the fact that the maps are always from different sources even drawn by an informant, not just the same uniform style map for gameplay reasons or to make it easier to understand. Only downside is that to my knowledge, the markings you make on the map are not shared with team mates, as far as I've understood.
@@kala1780 They are actually, but as far as i can tell, the AI wont follow them. So they are basically useless in Single player besides for yourself maybe, but in multiplayer you can make proper plans
The military actually does the low ready unless in an active environment as in shots fired. When I was in the Marines we were always taught low ready until we are ready to fire. Great play through always enjoy your videos.
Great video! You may want to get a mod that chills the enemy AI out, as the devs kinda overtuned all of them to be like suicidal John Wicks! The one I use is called "Swat and Suspect AI Overhaul" and it makes the situations much more realistic and enjoyable in my opinion
This is great, thanks. You the swat officer (and insights) is far more entertaining for me than you as gamer. Nothing wrong with your gameplay, but I don’t expect you to be “the best” at playing the game. I am fascinated by your experience and how the game fails or succeeds in providing a simulation though. HNY and thank you
Hey Chris, I was so excited to see this kind of video in Ready or Not. I'd live in Sao Paulo, here in Brazil and one of our "SWAT's" is called GATE (specifically in the SP city) and it's so nice to see these coordinations, briefing, debriefing, "tips" of what realistically would've happned, etc. I hope to see one of ours doing these kind of videos someday. Happy 2024 to all of you operators. =D
It's insane how this game is so close yet so far to the real thing (from an outside perspective of a civilian). It seems like it has a way to go but I'm really happy with how the community is working to the peak of tactical shooters
This was a pretty good video. I have not served as a SWAT officer (I want to join my local Police Tactical Group [Australian SWAT] in the future) so I have very limited knowledge on how these operations are conducted, but it was very interesting learning how a SWAT team would realistically tackle a situation like this. Very eye opening. Keep up the good work mate. Also just a bit of advice, I’d recommend changing the controls so that the button for interacting is different from the button to shouting. Saves you from revealing your position to the suspects while trying to secure evidence and whatnot.
I love missions like "23 megabytes" and "Rust Belt" because their briefings are incomplete or outright wrong (on purpose). Just to show that you cant plan everything ahead and or that intel may fail and lead you to wrong conclusions if you are not careful enough. I also find it funny how so many people in at least day1 gameplay video comments of RON 1.0 completely missed the fact that the briefing for "23 megabytes" is based on incorrect intel / assumptions, and blamed the game for being unrealistic that the streamers mom was still alive for example, completely missing the point that it was a SPOILER "swatting" which ended up not only harrasing the main suspect but also revealing other illegal activities he was connected to as well.
That's so cool to hear about all the comparaison with real life Would love to see a version where you play with other players as the commander telling them what to do
So the dog was the service dog for the vet... bad guys come in, vet draws and engages, doggo goes to protect his master and both get killed. I felt less bad about my guy slapping them in the back of the head as they were arrested. And yes Chris, you can't cuff kids in this... just tag them with F and you're good to go
I think is awesome that you got A+ on this mission, this game really award you when you do it metodicaly and in the safest way possible. For the future, they could implement other elements as well, like the BearCat and even the k9.
In the beginning of the mission I like how you mentioned overwatch because SWAT 4, the game Ready or Not is based off of had overwatch who would help you throughout the mission pointing out suspects or victims in windows.
Chris, no offense, I'm trying to be supportive here, but you still look like you are kinda lost. Don't get me wrong, you are the cop not me (although I work at a police station), but I should inform you that you can and SHOULD bring up the tablet while you are still at the police station. The briefing audio is also played out like police personnel are sitting in a sort of briefing room. Don't shy away from asking for help. Many people will help you how the game is optimally operated on discord or guilded or even here. There is no shame that you spent your life doing something more important than being able to skillfully play a video game. The problem is, if you listen to a briefing while on a mission, a wandering suspect might see you and shoot either you, or a civilian either on purpose or by accident. Also, if we really want to jump into a case chronologically, it is best to listen to 911 calls before the briefing - be aware that the briefing audio auto-starts each time a 911 call ends so if there are still calls left you need to quickly click play on them so you don't miss out on a lot of the briefing audio. Also, not to step on your job, but why do you stand in front of a door which is about to be opened? As seen in the game footage, you immediately got shot, just the thing that should be avoided in such cases. Even if the people on the other side didn't get shoecked enough by the C2, long range shooters with rifle calibers could still have killed you. I have some key advice for you. Separately bind F to be your interact button, and remove the compliance yell for it. Bind a separate compliance yell on a different key, which you'll need to REMEMBER. Now you won't accidentally yell on people who are barely alive, or children, or doors, or guns, or environmental evidence. Around the 19 minute mark you were constantly walking around a door on your left which you didn't acknowledge, wasn't covered directly by your officers, and lead to a room that wasn't cleared before. You need to develop a uniquely new free mindset in video games that makes your hand willing to look around freely in a virtual 3 dimensional space while watching the whole thing on a 2 dimensional screen. Because, giving the benefit of the doubt, you were playing the game like Chris the Cop demonstrating what the game is in your eyes, and not being immersed in the first person viewpoint experience. It is okay to relax and strategically take the scenery in with performing inquisitive look-arounds. You are also playing to have fun! We appreciate what you're doing on the channel and maybe with fan-cooperation we could teach you to be the best of what only YOU can be with the experience YOU have in a game world which can be tricky to master. Also some followup questions for your Equipment Breakdown video: 1. Is it as easy to kick down a door as A.I. officers do it in Ready or Not? 2. Is there such a thing as putting a chemical plastique around the lock and burning it out of the door with a slow burn but not too slow not to have time for it? Like some Termite composite mix? 3. How accepted are less than usual high capacity mags? How frequently have you seen lawmen use those in the same type of missions you ran? Like +5 PMags, Drum mags, Snail mags, Coffin mags, coupled/taped mags, extended mags? Any special extra mag holder on you, like strapped to thigh or inside buttstock? 4. If you encounter mirrors in interior areas, what is their significance? 5. Do you ever use Shotguns or breaching rounds to blow a hole in something without it being a door you'd want to go through? 6. Do trailers really need to carry hostages that have bomb vests and suspects who have intentional sew-e-side bomb vests on them? Or other explosives? 7. How often do you find yourself having not enough supplies of anything? What do you do? How do you get more ammo or grenades? 8. Can CS gas be flammable? Have there been stories? 9. What happens when encountering unforseen significant fire or electrical hazards? 10. Do you ever need to destroy a padlock somehow? How? Do SWAT teams have access to some blowtorch cutter? 11. What possible places can a SWAT officer put his badge to be visible and during such a delicate operation what would the real reason be for a visible badge? 12. Do you have use for any kind of Smoke Grenades? What kinds? Can you call in drone-dropped smoke grenades to a location? 13. What determines if some supporting Sniper person has the greenlight to fire? 14. How many types of traps does SWAT need to watch out for during a deployment? Explosive or maybe even chemical or fire-based? Where are they put? How to watch out for them? 15. Do you have any sort of vehicle mounted fire support weapon? Even if non-lethal. 16. Have you ever seen SWAT use a Light Machine Gun? What would their usage be? 17. What are all the ammunition types beside AP FMJ, JHP that you use? Beanbag, breaching surely. Foam/sponge you mentioned perhaps. Rubber bullets/batons? Launchable grenades obviously. Anything that splatters glue all over the place perhaps? 18. What is the lowest and highest officer count you know of on a SWAT mission? 19. Can Stinger blind someone? 20. What is the original intended purpose of a 9-Banger?
Hey, thank you for this wonderful post. I will do the briefing at the station, honestly I didn't know you could. However, it real call-outs we do the briefing in the field at the command post which is a distance away from the scene in most cases.
My pleasure. Hope you read the whole thing, it extends downwards with a press of a command because I wrote a lot. Keep up the good work, have fun, and be immersed!
For future levels, you can check your briefing before going into the level, that way you can plan off of AoE, and listen to the briefing without fear of being shot.
So quick question: at around 12:00 you restrained someone who had a cast on his arm. In a real scenario would you take different measures to secure someone with that kind of injury or would you just try and be more gentle? (assuming cooperation)
awesome video chris! i see you getting better at the game haha, i would love a video of you going over all of the weapon choices and how they could/would be used or if they wouldn’t be used
A tip: You can look at and listen to your briefing in the briefing room instead of out in the open at the start of the mission. Just select the mission and dont hit "Ready" yet. Instead, hold TAB and you can still see all of the information for your selected mission. A few things I noticed during my own playthrough of the game in regards to realistic vs gameplay is that the unrealistic aspects can typically be divided into two categories: Gameplay Serving or Gameplay Limitations. Gameplay Serving are aspects that are unrealistic, but need to be there in order for the game to function as a game. A good examples on this mission is the radio chatter at the beginning reminding the element to remember their ROE. That chatter is really just a reminder for the players that you shouldn't just go in blasting everyone like you would a normal FPS game, rather than being a realistic depiction of actual chatter to set the mood. Another big aspect is how accurate the aimbots on the suspects are. In the gaming world, we have people who are incredibly accurate and fast paced, far more than would be realistic for any real world gunplay. In order for the game to not turn into a reaction shooter like most others, the suspects need to have an advantage in accuracy to make the players focus more on planning, teamwork, and how to actually enter and clear a room. (Though I will say it could be turned down a bit for both the friendly and hostile npcs due to how accurate they are at shooting through walls). Gameplay Limitations are aspects that, while would serve the gameplay and would be more realistic, are out of the scope of what the game devs can feasibly do within any amount of time. A good example of this would be adding an overwatch/ sniper to the team. Adding something like that would mean all of the maps so far would need to be redesigned from the ground up in order to accommodate that perspective. Windows, suspect walk patterns, AI callouts, counter snipers, decoys, an actual overwatch position, how that functions in a singleplayer and multiplayer setting, etc. would all need to be figured out and then implemented. This is a MASSIVE amount of work for a single piece of a game that already functions well (albiet, unrealistically) without it. Love hearing your expertise and perspective on this game! While actual SWAT tactics may not be as effective in this fictional game setting, it's fascinating to hear about how you would actually approach these kinds of situations. Hopefully none of us will ever have use of that knowledge, but if shit hits the fan then at least we'll know how to act to get out of the way.
To those that are new and probably wondering why Chris cuffed a “downed” suspect, down doesn’t always mean out of the fight. It’s just the means of making sure to not have the suspect harm anyone by surprise because it’s possible they may feign death. I’m just a civ that’s as far as I know but I can understand the better be safe reason behind it Happy New Year Chris! Oh by the way Chris you can command complied civilians to run towards the exit and get detained by perimeter but I’m just curious would you not take the risk or say you are very confident it’s a civilian and tell them to move outside because you want to quickly move into next area eg active shooter scenario, would you have 1 man from your stack fall back with civ just in case or just radio the perimeter team “civilian coming out the 1/2/3/4 side check fire”? The same way you would call out bad guy coming out 1/2/3/4 side
Edit: to command the civilians just press command key or middle mouse button (default) and press 5 to do so. For the Suspects you can order them to move towards you to a safe area to prevent exposure
They get secured because they could just be passed out, wake up and get back in the fight. Cops wear body cams they can’t get away with a few security shots on a downed combatant to make sure
@@ChrisTHECOPI think what he means is after someone surrenders, you can tell them to move (on their knees with their hands up) towards you or to a specified point so you can arrest them safely without entering the room. It just lets you have one less thing to deal with as you breach, since they could always feign surrendering. As for ordering civilians to move to the exit, afaik that's totally unrealistic and just a game mechanic to save players the trouble of having to arrest everyone themselves; though correct me if I'm wrong.
@@DA99972 Yes, but about "run to the exit" command: I think irl you would have more than a 5 man team, so people in the next room would take care of them. However, there's the scenrio "elephant" where I would see this useful (I'm not a cop mind you) at least in game , however in real life there would be a huge risk that they run straight to the gun men while trying to find the exit but it's a bit of a "damned if you do, damned if you dont" kind of scenario. I think first time I played it the enemy AI found some cuffed civvies and executed them while roaming the premises, so later I used the "run to the exit" method.
For perimeter, dev said that they already do motion capture for AI cops and waiting for implement in the future update. Trailer units already implemented and they will come and bring secured civilians/suspect after mission soft complete or bring order to chaos is done.
From what I know people can be immune to C2 gas and pepper spray just by getting lucky with the genetic lottery and also from what I know you can power through the effects of those irritants
I have a lot of respect for Law Enforcement and i thank you for your service to your community. I plan on being a cop in the future. You got a new subscriber!
@ChrisTHECOP Keep up the good work my dude, been enjoying your videos for a while now with the swat4 gameplay etc. I actually didn't know that Swat uses numbers for the faces of the building, so seeing that this was accurate in the game is great. I'm familiar with the military: white, red, black, green designations my self.
I actually got ready or not 2 days ago and its gone to become one of my favorite games. Also if you werent aware you can use the scroll wheel to give commands to red or blue team which allows you to split up your bots.
Probably the most realistic experience you could get in a video game as a SWAT Officer is in GTA Roleplay server. Of course just any server wouldn't qualify in that spot, but right off the bat I could suggest GTA World roleplay server, which SWAT roleplayers follow all the real life procedures (Including the ones you mentioned).
@@ChrisTHECOP Just to clarify, I don't blame you: hostages in this game need to be punished. Especially the ones that run towards you in the middle of a firefight 🤣 Sometimes it reminds me of that banned 70s police training video with the deaf kid "drawing" a wallet.
Even after so much tinkering with the AI parameters, I still can't figure out what is making these suspects turn into suicidal terminators that are always eager to rush towards a 5-man SWAT team stacked on a door. I really hope to see some major changes in the next hotfix because, at its current state, people are better off treating this game like its Rainbow Six.
The culprit is the "morale" system. It has been screwed up to the point where using tactics that would normally decrease suspect morale actually increase it. The more suspects that are neutralized or apprehended, the higher their morale becomes. Using equipment like flashbangs as well as other general tactics increase it. They will have max morale very early on in a level and therefore fire on sight, rush you, and refuse compliance.
@@Unknown_Genius But... they have another way out.. just go to prison. Most of these crimes arent that bad ( compared to port hokan, voll health house, car dealership, stuff like that ). The guys printing guns in their attic, or the guys cooking meth. Like yeah its bad, but its not "grab your gun and kill 5 swat members" bad. I get it its a game, it would be boring if they just gave up right away, but still.
@@bestaatroxeuw A "reasonable" person would stand down to swat, but remember, people have been killed even though the perpetrator got what they wanted in a robbery without a fight. So yes, in general the AI should be more survival centered, I think a slightly randomization would be fine.
YEP absence of parameter security was the first thing I noticed in the 1.0 build. In later missions, suspects will go outside and around the building, through your main entrance to kill you. Also, SWAT AI dont use throwables right. I use CS gas a lot and your AI squad will drop it at their feet and enter a room immediately without letting it take effect.
I’ve never played this and have only seen small clips of it until now, but I have to say, this really is like SWAT 4, complete with constantly hearing “You’re in my way!” Lmao Also, can’t stop thinking about the gas station mission from that game, too. Have you ever played or thought about playing any of the Rainbow Six games? You know, the ones before Siege?
i think when you are raiding, its important not to stand or approaching facing head on straight to a closed door. since somebody behind it could spray through it at any time. especially if they know you are there. also always keep the muzzle up to any open corridors and doors. even its closed doors. and stay low. for example, if somebody just suddenly pops up and spraying , all you need to do is drop lower on your knee and return fire. its harder if you stand up high.
6:36 they got information on them from the 911 calls as the first and third employee called in. Mudasirs bio also states the police got information from his employees. You’re criticizing the game when the answers to your critique are answered in the video itself.
It's so awkward how your team is just plopped into the scene like that, with no vehicle. Like, did they just walk over there? Such an easy fix, at the very least just add a static armored vehicle, and have the team spawn behind it.
Maybe if the game adds cinematic sceneries like reviewing operation order in the inside of armored vehicle gives better impressions, hmmm and the appearance of their swat mobile as their satellite command post to head quarters ect.. hmmm
Difference between how me and friends play and how he plays: Him: After 10 minutes maybe the mission starts (on a practical level) Me and homies: After 10 minutes the mission is already over with 100% of the suspects dead and half of the civilians killed by us. And for us that's fine...
Im no SWAT by any means but been in the army so i thought so aswell that there is no armor on the scene , not even a bus. I cant imagine SWAT gotta cover 150 square meters with obstacles on their own when entering a building they are gonna sweep. Pretty big misstake from developers that they didnt add that.
Great Video! Just found your channel today. One question : why do you not use the mirror? I had imagine it gives a great tactical advantage knowing what’s exactly behind a door
My friends and I want to roleplay the game. That's why it's important to know when to use which options. Would you be so kind as to play the mission again and show us when to give which callouts and when to use which option? We would then want to recreate the whole thing and stream it on the German twitch.
Love the debrief! What's your opinion on the non-lethal options in the game, and how realistic would be to enter this situation with pepperball/rubber buckshot guns?
can't thank you enough for sharing ur professional experience. i noticed you did not use the wand. does it get used often in real life? i would also appreciate having a video showing stacking strategies depending on room scenario.
I wish you took advantage of the mirrors a lot more. I understand they don't exist in real life but having one of the AI scan the room for you is very useful and there's no downside to it other than being somewhat unrealstic. I know if this was real *I* would rather know where the openings are and if there's any hostiles instead of just taking a guess especially since you have limited equipment and can't restock.
@@ChrisTHECOP Just consiering how limited the game is anyways it's just something to help balance things out. I know you don't use them because they don't exist but hypothetically in this situation I'm just curious if you would? I've already taken a few breaks from constantly dying trying to be more realistic myself lol.
