In the Hot Reception mission, you lead a SWAT operation at Bernard Tire & Auto Center after a violent shootout between rival gangs. The briefing outlines the danger to civilians and the threats your team must address.
Play the mission solo or with other players in one of three modes: high-risk warrant, barricaded suspect, or bomb threat. Objectives vary between apprehending suspects, confronting entrenched criminals, and defusing an explosive device.
Before entering, choose rifles, handguns, armor, and tactical gear, then coordinate equipment and an entry point with your squad. Complete the objectives and receive an evaluation of your performance.
Players who enjoy the prologue often point to cooperative play with friends, tense tactical missions, and the challenge of careful planning rather than simply rushing in. Some also appreciate choosing equipment and trying different mission modes on the available map. Reviews are mixed, with recurring complaints about bugs, AI behavior, performance, controls, and the limited amount of content.
SWAT Commander: Prologue is the FREE introductory version of our team tactical shooter and does not reflect the final version of the game. Check out its full version's page for a description of its features!
In the prologue, you face the challenges of our second mission – Hot Reception. Team up with your friends in a SWAT squad or go in solo to investigate an auto shop where a violent shootout between rival gangs took place. Secure any evidence of criminal activity, bring the perpetrators to justice, and restore order!
Make yourself familiar with the mission's briefing and find out what dangers emerged to threaten innocent civilians – you're about to face them yourself. Equip your SWAT operative accordingly with a selection of rifles, handguns, armors, and tactical gear to tackle the belligerent gangs.
Create a multiplayer lobby to invite other players or go into the mission solo or join the lobby of another SWAT commander. Coordinate and discuss your mission plan down to the equipment each of you will be bringing or the entry point you'll be choosing.
Select one of the three available game modes to determine the type of mission you'll be embarking on – high-risk warrant, barricaded suspect, and bomb threat. Your operations' goals can change between bringing down dangerous suspects, neutralizing entrenched criminals, and defusing an explosive device.
Enter the Bernard Tire & Auto Center to begin the SWAT intervention. Secure your mission objectives and earn an evaluation of your performance. Remember to keep your eyes open and use every tactical advantage you can think of. Defend the innocents and bring the perps to justice!
