Awsome tactical FPS, featuring various multiplayer modes
 
 
Barricaded suspects: A team deathmatch, the team gains points for killing/arreesting guys from the other team
 
 
VIP Escort: Everybody loves escort missions, especially for the awesome ai they AI. This time hge can be stupid on purpose because one of the SWAT team memmbers is chosen to be a VIP, the team has to escort the VIP to the extraction point, while the suspects try to arrest the VIP and hold him for 2 mins before executing him.
 
 
Rapid deployment: OMG JC <strike>A BOMB </strike> THREEE TO FIVE BOMBS!! SWAT team has to find them and deactivate them, if they dont the bombs explode and suspects win.
 
 
co-op: Remember that awesome single player campaign? Yeah, now it's time to bro-op with friends through it
 
 
There's an expansion which adds more shit like being able to play on custom levels and having 10-men-two-team co-operation missions.
