Online AddictionĪfter spending the last six months, every lunch hour and countless days playing Counter-Strike, we can't help but compare SWAT 3s multiplayer add-on against it. The Elite Edition upgrade for last year's SMW3is the latest freebie to come our way and, being predominantly aimed at the multiplayer and riding on the success of Counter-Strike, a timely one it is too. As many of us who use the Internet will attest, you do get a lot for nothing and with little or no effort - particularly if you're a games journalist. You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes no matter what your dreams might be." I know analysing Rush lyrics is sad, but these were wise words at the time, especially if you were off your box on acid, but little did they realise 25 years on those words would come back to haunt them.
It was Canadian prog' rock trio Rush who first sang "You don't get something for nothing. New sounds for each weapon have also been recorded and players will be able to configure the look of their characters by choosing from a number of body types, helmets and camo-skins. There will be more than 20 new weapons to add to SWAT 3's already impressive arsenal, with a number of new weapon configurations for each. Al-controlled hostages and civilians will react in a more convincing and independent manner than in the previous game - running from terrorists, for example. Game modes will include regular deathmatch, co-op game, teamplay, last man standing, hostage rescue and others. Thankfully, those who already own the game will be able to download all the new Elite Edition components - including map and scenario editors - at no extra cost. Originally the multiplayer component was to be released as a mid-price expansion pack, but then we were told it would be included as a part of a special edition game including the original. You may remember that the original game had no multiplayer options and, with both Counter-Strike and Rogue Spear still extremely popular online, Sierra saw fit to upgrade its single-player classic to include some new online options. With our insatiable appetite still hungering for yet more real-world action, Sierra is poised to release SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle - Elite Edition.
