SWAT 4 Beta Now Open To All

I liked these things when they were called "DEMO".
DEMO takes more time to make thus resources. Because they need to limit some functions of the game so people will only be able to play a small portion.



Beta is the fledged game in it's current state

Yeap. And this "beta" is only playable on 1 map.
 
I just got the time to try this and actually found it enjoyable. It feels rather clunky, particularly with the netcode. I can see why they're hiding behind the 'beta' claim. The fact that it's very easy for one person to ruin games is also a large problem (Game can end instantly due to people shooting the VIP for fun). The idea of having to subdue the player controlled VIP with tazer/gas/etc.. adds an interesting element though. I'll suspend judgement until a more polished demo is out...
