The Spoony Experiment

Let’s Play SWAT 4 – Mission #09: The Heist is On

by Spoony on May 6, 2009 · View Comments

A crew of highly-organized thieves have hit the Du Plessis Diamond Wholesalers, but they made the unwise move of bringing along Mr. Blonde. Civilians are dead, the escape plan went tits-up, and now they’re barricaded inside. Worst of all, they’re heavily-armed, armored, and prepared for a prolonged standoff, complete with gas masks!

Can SWAT break the standoff and restore order? Someone call Michael Mann, there’s a movie in this!

LOLOLOLOL!! That was so hilarious!!

Turtle May 8, 2009 at 1:33 am

That was excellent. Definitely one of the best SWAT videos you’ve done. I loved the music montage. Nice work.

Assiman May 8, 2009 at 6:55 am

You really need to make Let’s Play Hitman- Blood Money. It’s kinda similiar game in a way, but more action and fun. Btw, best SWAT video ever

Random Nobody May 8, 2009 at 1:28 pm

Liked the death montage but I would’ve liked to see a bit more of the actual level though. It was just a bit anticlimactic and pretty short, really.

Really enjoying lets play swat 4.

Very entertaining. Spoony, why not solicit some business from the military, I expect they would see this as a good opportunity to get access to people who want to use guns and murder people with impunity. If the military fail to take up this opportunity then some of the militias in the U.S.A. might want to but a banner of your site but be very wary if they ever invite to their retreat to show their appreciation.

Wanna look at what’s going on, Reynolds? LOL.

Mirokoshi May 10, 2009 at 2:41 pm

I’ve spent weeks just trying to get past this level, this has such a high level of bastardry that will kick you in the balls if you even look at it wrong. I’m so glad i wasnt the only one to hate this level. Awesome review :P

DamuEmran May 11, 2009 at 3:04 pm

love heat the movie

lol at the stinger frags and flash nades. LOL at Reynolds
I love the death montage

Those guys killed so many civilians

Red Falcon May 11, 2009 at 11:02 pm

Spoony, this is THE best SWAT video yet! I really liked the montage too!
That song would be great if you were to include it in a new intro! ;)

nick maldonado May 14, 2009 at 2:50 pm

W May 16, 2009 at 12:14 am

You’re the mack daddy of video “macking.”

Filmed on location with the men and women of lulz enforcement. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty … IN A COURT OF LAW!

Ink May 17, 2009 at 1:25 pm

Yeah- Public Enemies (Depp and Bale)- it’s going to be fuuuun.
Lol at death montage. Epic Fail- but as is the fail is good. =D
Thanks for all the entertainment.
>_> there ought to be a level w/ aliens.

Love this stuff. Been lurking for a couple of weeks now, but I just wanted to point something out. They totally suck in this game (I remember them too) however Stinger grenades are meant to only be used on Un-armored targets. the grenade flings a whole assload of rubber pellets everywhere, inflicting a tremendous amount of pain and sometimes incapacitating the target(s). it’s not really made clear in the game, but they do serve the same functionality here. the problem is they don’t act like real stingers, which ricochet everywhere in the room, and instead just great a blast radius of pain, which means any target that is, oh, say, behind a table or a bookcase, doesn’t get touched.
sorry if this has been pointed out before, but with twelve pages of comments and a crappy internet connection, I didn’t really want to scan through it all.

long story short, Spoony, you are awesome. and don’t use stingers.

NaclynE May 20, 2009 at 11:27 pm

Good video and it looked like a CGN mission.
However it’s Jones from CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK: PITCH BLACK and Robert Deniro not Bobby Deniro.

PS:According to a movie reviewer, Al Paccino and Robert Deniro where never together in HEAT. Ain’t that a load of BS.

Taekmkm May 23, 2009 at 6:51 am

I am absolutely furious. 50 tries with beanbag shotgun, assault rifles, everything.

Then, I test out the pepper gun and that does jack so all I had was the pistol.

7 pistol kills later, I complete the mission for the first time. I HATE THIS GAME.

TheMiniReviewer May 25, 2009 at 11:39 am

Damn that mission was a complete bitch, I remember failing by 1 point…TWICE!!! It made me so angry but eventually I got it by being really patient and being very methodical

ElCondor May 25, 2009 at 11:49 am

I’m sure a fair few people will laugh at me asking, but which cop show is the end title music taken from. I know it’s Bad Boys by Inner Circle (COPS) at the beginning, but can’t figure out the other one, and it;s driving me mad.

alldreamsfalldown May 25, 2009 at 3:03 pm

WARNING: The alarm in level 12 will give you a headache.

alexgerthe May 26, 2009 at 11:38 am

please submit more glorious vids PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Anthony R May 28, 2009 at 10:27 am

With only 4 more missions left in this game, this will be the most interesting game in lets play history.

darkpatriot85 May 31, 2009 at 11:32 am

19 tries? I did it in 2.

MegaGogy June 1, 2009 at 2:38 pm

Noah, you are da man! I watch these reviews anytime when I feel sad. After watching this, I can’t be unhappy! :)
Greetings from Croatian fan!

Brendoz June 1, 2009 at 3:10 pm

I dont know if we got diffrent versions of SWAT 4 but the one im playing you actully can lean… and the orders of the missions aren’t the same… but still i love ya spoony ! great reviews !

The Random Ninja 5 June 4, 2009 at 10:16 pm

YOU FOOL! I love it. I could not breathe after watching these. I only wish I could play them myself. But alas, I own a mac. And they refuse to make games that I can play on it. (aside form WOW and Spore) What will come after you’ve finished the game? More montages? I like them. I love the ranting against your team mates. I have played many games in which my “team mates” might as well have not been there. They get in the way, they slow me down, and they complain all the time. They hit me with their own grenades. Play the first Killzone on multiplayer with a full A.I. team and you’ll feel my pain. Similar to SWAT but in a way that makes you wanna HULK SMASH!
What would happen if the SWAT team had to enter DR. INSANO’s lare and fight their way past henchmen and giant chickens ultimately having a show down with the evil genius himself? Would Insano run? Fight it out? or surrender like a pussy? Personally, I think he would concoct an overly elaborate plan to distract the SWAT and escape such as pointing and shouting “Look a Convenient Diversion!” and scurry away.

David June 6, 2009 at 12:24 pm

You really should try sending your guys in before you enter open rooms. I’ve noticed that when you point to a doorway the button to tell them to Fall in changes to Move & clear, so it’s easy and won’t waste your time.

Most of your deaths in this stage occured because you were running in cowboy style before anyone else.

Gunsmoke June 9, 2009 at 8:52 am

Stingers are for multiple NON armored enemies/civs in a smaller space. I usually use them when guys run into a dead end (like down a stairwall), and I can throw them pretty far, not when assaulting a room.

Quinten J. Ross June 13, 2009 at 6:03 am

I’m surprised no one has commented on 4:43-4:47.

That was one of those “Great Moments in SWAT 4 History”.

Lucas June 16, 2009 at 10:52 am

I can’t wait to see Public Enemies with Johnny Depp, because it should look great! I hope you’ll review it when you see it.

I was dancing like Benzaie to the death montage, LOL!

Sniktbub June 17, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Oh my god, I just did this level yesterday, I think it took me six tries to get through it, it’s such a bitch. There’s so many damn rooms and blind spots and I always ended up missing a room and someone would run around and kill me.

The hospital level was a bitch too…I’m sort of confused on why you haven’t done that one though, your missions appear to be in a different order than mine o_O

Tryzon June 18, 2009 at 5:48 am

Does anyone know what that creepy black hand is on the table at about 4:02? I think it might be a gorilla’s, but why would it be there?

THOOM June 21, 2009 at 11:10 pm

“He just called Rodney King. I ought to go over there and put a bullet in your eye for that, bro…But hey, nice parkay floors!”

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…..(breathe) AAAAAAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHA! My sides are hurting.

Psy June 22, 2009 at 3:45 pm

Tryzon:
I noticed it when I was playing, it is a gorilla’s hand, it’s an ash tray I’m sure. There’s also an elephant foot umbrella stand in the same office.

I can’t beat this damn mission. *Angry face*

Paulius July 5, 2009 at 6:24 am

ow you died alot of times ^^

Emran July 22, 2009 at 10:30 pm

wait did you killed Reynolds?

emran July 29, 2009 at 11:37 pm

in just one episode we see “stinger fail”,”flash fail” and smoke fail” wow this must really suck playing this stage

Wayne December 9, 2009 at 4:01 pm

Lol this level…..Its such a pain…so many guys…stupid partners…nothing can go right…you cant win till you memorize the map…it is truley SWAT hell. the frustration level this game can give is through the roof. lol but Im glad you were able to beat it, im gonna try and beat it again tonight..

RHCZ February 24, 2010 at 10:09 am

Watching this review again in honor of me FINALLY downloading The Heat Is On onto my iTunes. A songs that's haunted me for months … and will haunt me forever.

THE HEAT IS ON!!!!!

Easily my favorite SWAT 4 Let's Play. I seriously need to call out “Death Montage” the next time my party is facing a bunch of drunken orcs in D&D…

oh, Spoony, you make every day better with your bitching and snark.

Anonymous August 22, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Something you really ought to do, if you decide to continue with the Stetchkov Syndicate Expansion Pack, is that assault rifles like the HK G36C and Colt M4A1 take a LONG time to aim. Therefore, it’s best to enter hostile rooms or areas while walking and moving with one of those rifles, not while running (or the brisk shuffle that this game thinks is running). That way, you have the best chance your shots will hit. If you’re having trouble, go back to the training mission and try walking and running with the M4A1 firing to see just how much movement affects your accuracy.
