idk if the AI has really been improved all that much. the SWAT AI most certainly, but the suspect AI seems to have been largely unchanged, and they will still wallhack and wallbang people with laser precision and reaction times of 200ms (very fast for someone who isn't at all prepared.) at one point, even the stats were messed up: flashbangs would reduce the suspect's morale by -1, meaning they would actually GAIN morale by being flashbanged. in general the suspects feel way more gung-ho than in SWAT 4 to engage an entire 5-man squad of police all on their own, and it would be nice if they had different reaction times and accuracies from level to level (a crackhead is worse than a terrorist) and morale tactics actually worked consistently.
Currently I find the game unplayable. The suspect ai is very very bad. In the video you mention that sometimes the ai will be hardened criminals that are professional killers and lazer you down, or a crackhead skipping across the room and miss every shot. Well currently in the room the crackhead skipping across the room can constantly done you and performs like a navy seal. If the ai see any crack of your body it’s instantly as if they just saw your entire body up close. On the larger maps the ai aren’t even rendered past like 50 feet so there are times where your being shot at, by someone in the open, their just not being new rendered. It’s interesting that the “mainstream” and “CZcamsr” take and narrative is that its a massive upgrade from swat4 and a huge success. But as soon as you join a discord or scroll to the comment section you realized that community doesn’t agree with the mainstream take. People say it’s surpassed swat 4. This game has singlehanded gotten me to uninstall it and to buy and install swat 4. Right now I only play swat 4 and have been enjoying it much more than ready or not. RON does specific mechanics better, but it’s not a compete package at all. In overall feel swat 4 feels better. Also something I’ve realized from swat4 is that RON perps NEVER surrender unless they have been flahsbanged or gassed or something of that sort. They will ALWAYS choose to shoot when you tell them to put their hands up if they aren’t stunned. In swat 4 I’ve found that if an enemy has their back turned and I sneak up behind them I can actually get them to comply. It feels like your actually supposed to go in and arrest these people. Ready or not currently feels like its designed to be a SWAT shoot ‘em up.
Ready or Not does not, in any way shape or form, render SWAT 4 obsolete, what. There's even a solid argument to made that SWAT 4 is actually the better game if we're to compare 1.0 versions.
I love this game! Biggest issue with it is the AI. Once they start engaging you, they won't stop for a few seconds, tracking you behind any wall or door. If their using a rifle, you'll get shot through walls pretty consistently, even when they shouldn't know where you are. Worse part is that any door that isn't fully closed seems to act as invisible to the AI's targeting.
I disagree that RoN makes swat obsolete or that it's inhuman suspect issue is solved. Swat games are still easier to run on older computers, feature different ai and play at a different pace.
The enemy AI needs to be reworked completely in my opinion. Swat 4 had awesome AI because it felt very reactive to the situation and map you were playing. The very first mission with the convenience store robbery, the robbers will usually surrender very quickly because they are petty criminals and don't want to be lit up by an M4... However the terrorist missions where they take control of the biolab those guys are ready to shoot and ask questions later. The SWAT4 A.I is also cool because when a suspect is outnumbered or in a bad situation they'll just run away and hide.
The AI is crack addicts, they either miss everything or track you trough walls, wallbang you with 9mm trough solid steel or concrete and are lazer accurate after spinning 180 degrees in 0.01 seconds. 1.0 made it much worse then it ever was, and yes i'm not joking AI gets penetration, damage and damage resistance buffs to the point you will have to put 5 7.62 rounds into an unarmored suspects chest and god help you if they do have armor...
most my problems with this game are with the AI, same as everyone else. It took me so long to realize that only half the time I got hit from nowhere was the enemy AI just cheating, the other half being my teammates.
maybe when the AI stop having wallhacks it will be worth it, but being headshoted from behind blinds is still a thing in this game. It needs another year, but is almost there. I just hope they don't abandon the game now
The game really needs some hotfixes. The enemy AI super OP. They sometimes have wallhacks and can shoot you through walls and they have better aim than John Wick while moving sideways.

This game needed more work.

And I hate that they completely replaced the soundtrack with 1.0. Like wtf man
That club isnt from john wick, its a Pulse Night Club shooting reference.. it was like a whole thing bro how are you not aware??
Ready or Not. Well it's not ready. And it's because the AI still cheats.
Will never be as good as swat 4

This game captures the saying "2 steps forward, 3 steps back" perfectly.

SWAT4 is almost 20 years old at this point 🤯🤯🤯

I have to be honest I had the exact opposite experience with this game. My mood soured on it the more I played it.
